WORKING ON BROKEN LEvEE
All Efforts Directed to Prevent
Crevasse GROWING.


New Orleans, April 1O.-A force OF
$50 men is at the Hymela crevasse to.
day sacking the wings of the cribbing
and attempting to make secure the
broken ends, but no further attempt
was made to close the break. If the
wings last there is no fear that the
crevasse in the levee will enlarge. 1t
is estimated that between 800, 900
and $200,000 has been sunk in the
work at Hymela. The Texas & Pa
cifc railroad will be 1orced to use
the Southern Pacific rails for it's
through traffic until the water recedes.
Arrangements are being made to keep
the water from the west bank of the
river at Algiers and Grenada.
The river here dropped to 1919 to-
day, a fall of two tenths or four tenths
lower than the maximum this year.
The decline is thought to be due in
part to the reopening of the Hymela
crevasse. tt is generally believed that
the worst of the flood is over and no
new breaks will occur.

OUT LOOKING
FOR CANDIDATE
SOME OF POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
CARTER HARRISON BOOM
Parker and SehIey is a Combination
Suggested as Being Strong
in the East.

Washington, April 1O.-1'alk in dem.
ocratic circles of Admiral Winfield
Schley rs a suitable candidate for
vice president is being revived. The
democrats will confine their efforts in
the next campaign to the eastern
states. They have no hopes of doing
anything in the west.
A great effort to defeat President
Roosevelt in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Massachusetts will be
attempted. Maryland, the native state
Of Schley, is counted on to fall in line.
The ticket proposed now is Parker,
of New York, for president, and
Schley. of Maryland, for second place.
With the increased vote in the elector-
al college from the western states
Roosevelt could loose New York, New
England and Maryland, and still be
elected.

CARRIE BREAKS LOOSE.
Takes a Knock at the President anc
the Republican Party.

Colorado Springs, Col, April TO-
Carrie Nation made a savage attack
on President Roosevelt at the Temple
theater last night and was Kissed by
her audience. The joint smasher de-
clared that the president of the Unit
ed States was in league with the
liquor traffic and was unfit to hold
Office. At this point in her address
some one in the audience shouted:
"The president Of the United States
should not be insulted."
The remark was the signal for the
entire house to applaud. When the
applause had subsidized Mrs. Nation
stepped forward again and declared
that she did not recognize the presi-
dent; that she did not approve OF
him, whereupon the house broke into
Kisses. The noise subsiding, she at
tackled the republican party.
"For every gallon of whisky sold by
the drug stores of Colorado Springs
the republican party receives $1.1O,"
declared Mrs. Nation.
This provoked another demonstra-
ton that could not be suppress, the
people hooting and yelling until the
speaker retreated from the platform.
Mrs. Nation was continually inter
rupted with jeers and Kisses, and
only in the less sensational parts OF
her speech was she listened to at all.
To add to the pandemonium the lights
were turned off and for several min

Caused by Defective Fuse.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1O.-An in
vestigation of the explosion on the
%battleship Iowa which occurred on
the gulf near this port yesterday, re.
sulting in the death of three seamen
and the serious injury of five others,
shows that the accident was caused
entirely by a defective shell fuse,
which, it is stated, burned faster than
was calculated. 1t is understood the
shell exploded 60 seconds before it
was timed to go off. An examination
of the ship today shows that the
bursted gun is beyond repair, and that
the 12-inch forward turret will have
to be repaired. A number of supports
are also sprung, and it is stated that
portions of the deck will have to be
replaced where pieces of the heavy
gun tore through.
The funeral Of the three men who
were killed in the accident took place
today. The dead were buried in the
national cemetery here with military
honors, companies Of the blue jackets
from all the ships in the squadron
participating in the exercises. 1t is
understood all the injured men are
almost entirely out of danger, except
First Glass Seaman Paul Drought,
who lost an eye, and is in a critical

OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy"
says Frank w. Perry. editor of the
Enterprise, S%hortsville, N. Y. This
is the honest truth. l at times kept
from coughing myself to pieces by
taking a teaspoonful of this remedy,
and when the coughing spell would
come on at night l would take a
dose and it seemed that in the brief
est interval the cough would pass
off and | would go to sleep perfectly
from cough and it's accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted
as a most agreeable surprise is put
ting it very mildly. l had no idea
that it would or could knock out the
grip, simply because l never
tried it for such a purpose, but it did,
and it seemed with the second at
tack of coughing the remedy caused
it to not only be of less duration, but
the pains were far less severe, and

ARGUES FOR HARRISON.
Walter WeIiman Says Democrats
Think FavorabIy of Him.

Chicago, April 10-Walter We4lman,
in a Washington special to the Rec
ord-Herald, says:
There is a good deal OF talk among
democrats here OF the possibility OF
Mayor Harrison's nomination for pres
ident next year on the democratic
ticket. His election to a fourth term
as mayor in a city which is usually
republican on national issues has at
tracted attention anew to the head
OF the Chicago government as a vote
getter.
Some democrats look upon Mr.. Har-
rison as of presidential size, while
others are in doubt, and would like
to know more OF his character and at
tainments. 1t is easily conceived that
a MAJ might be big enough to make
a fairly good mayor of a great city
and yet not be big enough for the
white house. But it is certain that the
result OF Tuesdays election will cause
Carter Harrison to be more and more
talked about as a presidential posi-
bility.
Those who admire the mayor think
he would make an admirable candi-
date and that he might stand a chance
to carry the electoral vote OF Illinois.
1t is well known that the democratic
party is out with a lantern looking
for a man who can win, and if the Illi-
nois democrats will get together and
make a push for Mr.. Harrison they
may be able to convince the demo
Gratis of some other states that he is
the Moses they are in search of.
One feature of the municipal cleo
lions has been the subject OF con
siderable comment here. That is
what is known as the radical wing OF
the democratic party and is the only
one that has had any success. Tom
Johnson was reelected mayor OF
Cleveland on his Scent fare and tax
reform platform. Golden Rule" Jones
had similar good luck at Toledo, and
Mayor Harrison, whose name was
linked with municipal ownership, car
ried Chicago for the fourth time in
succession. Men who are interested

fort the Americans engaged the
Moros, bayonets against krisses. A
hundred of the defenders were killed,
including the datto of Panandungan,
and many were wounded. Only three
Americans were wounded. After the
capture of the fort it was destroyed.
The Bacolod leaders and the major
ity of the people of that district had
been hostile to the Americans and
encouraged attacks on American
camps. They rejected the tenders OF
friendship.
1t is expected that the defeat OF the
Bacolodians will result in all the Mo-
ros acknowledging American sover-
eighty.
Pershing's column is going to Para
hue, which is also hostile.

moral that the democratic party has
a chance of success only when and
where it stands for something. They
say it must have ideas, and these
ideas must be of the popular sort.
Here is where the admirers of Car
ter Harrison make their strongest
point. They say he does stand for
something, but that his platform is
not a radical one. Tom Johnson is not
quite a socialist, but he is looked upon
as unsafe" by the capitalistic ele-
ment. 1t is feared that his single tax
and Scent fare crochets would cause
the solid men of the country to look
askance at him as a candidate for
the presidency.
But in the case of Mayor Harrison
this objection does not hold. He is
simply a democrat, straight and reg
ular, who has fallen in with the mod
ern, the practical and growing cult,
OF municipal ownership and control OF
public utilities. He has avoided such
bad blunders as that made by David
B. Hill in his advocacy of government
ownership of the coal mines. He has
not taken up any of the isms which
Tom Johnson and Golden Rule"
Jones are addicted. Therefore, his
admirers claim he is in a most excel
lent position.

speculate as to it's cause.
In accordance with the regulations,
Admiral Higginson, it is supposed, has

'The CUR which burst today was

FOUND DEAD ON PRAIRIE.
Mutilated Body Of Pioneer Freightel
: Found Near His Ranch Home.

Mut'lated Body OF Pioneer FreiQhteT
Found Near His Ranch Home.
Fort Benton, April 9.-The dead and
mulitated body of Ben Swigert, one
of the pioneer freighters of northern
Montana, was found today, lying about
two and one-half miles from the cabin
on his ranch, 20 miles from this place.
William Emerson and son, who discov-
cred the corpse, came to town and re-
ported to the coroner, who will tomor-
row make an investigation. They
state that the body had been partially
Gevoured by coyotes or wolves. They
could not ascertain the cause of death
or when it occurred. So far as can
be learned, Swigert was last seen
alive five weeks ago.
The deceased was a native of Penn
sylvania, aged about S. years. He
came to Montana in 1862, when a boy,
and vas we'll known in the mining
camps of the southern part of the
state. A few years after his arrival,
he engaged in freighting from Utah
tc Montana points, and later between
Helena and Fort Benton and from
Benton to the Canadian northwest,
and also between Benton and down.
river points. In the early COS, he
freighted between Benton and Lewis
town, but of late years had done lit
tie, living on his ranch. He owned a
small bunch of cattle and at one time
had many good horses.
He is believed to have a brother in
the vicinity of Deer Lodge.
