A Gigantic swindie.

The 'get-rich-quick" exposure I'm
New York. and IN ii other states, has
reached astounding, startling proper
tions-and the end is not yet reached.
When the full sum and total OF the
revenue gathered In by this gigantic
network OF roguery. stretching in nm
broken sequence from the Atlantic 10
the Gulf, numbering upward OF 800 OF
these absurd get-rlch-quick organiza-
tons, is known, 1t will be found that
the country is face TO face with a
fraud the magnitude OF which Is with
out parallel or approach in finance.
The figures SO far compiled from
official police records In number OF
the most important states show an es
innate Of the total spoils of $4,000,
600. In this has to be included SIS,
100000 taken in by L. ]. Arnold & Co.
at the rate of $1,000 a day during -four
years.
Five millions more may be credited
TO the account Of 1t states. while New
York accounts for five millions.

Eight Were Killed.

Eight persons were killed and four
injured by an explosion i'm the Peter X
Fox Magazine Cane factory, Fostoria,
o., Monday. The magazine contained
a large supply of high explosives used
in the manufacture of caps for maya
zine canes. 1t Will never be known
how ii happened that some of the eX-
plosive let go. There was terrible re-
port that shocked the whole town and
in moment the whole factory was in
flames. There was a desperate fight
on the part OF reScuers To secure the
bodies Of the dead before the flames
reached them. As the dead and in
iured were brought out they were
placed on sleds and carried TO impro-
vised hospitals. The factory was a to-
tai loss.

Typhoid Fever scourEe.

Cornell University and the city Of
Ithaca, y. Y, are in a state of terror
over an epidemic Of typhoid fever, and
1t is feared the university will have TO
be closed, for nearly 1000 students
have left. With more than 100 nurses
lighting for the lives of fever patients
and doctors working day and night,
this little city OF 10000 inhabitants,
$500 Of whom are students Of Cornell
University, Is In a state Of panic.
Every day brings new victims TO the
fever and hardly a day passes without
one or more deaths. Students are flee
ing from the city by scores and the uni
versity threatens TO be left without a
corporaps guard.
The scourge has already caused more
than n score of deaths and IL Is esti-
mated that more than 200 persons have
been stricken. Most OF the victims
have been Cornell students.

Forty Millions the Price.

The government has formally ac
cepted the offer Of the Panama canal
company TO sell To the United States
the canal property and all OF the com
pany's rights therein for S+O00O.0DC
subject only to the ratification OF the
pending treaty with the republic of
Colombia.
The effect OF this acceptance will he
to extend the life of the option held
by the government beyond March

countries in interest.

Roosevelt Is Earnest

President Roosevelt will call an ex-
traordinary session OF the senate Of
the fiftyeighth congress, unless both
the Panama canal and the Cuban re-
ciprocity treaties are ratified at the
present session. The president made
this declaration OF his intention to sew
eral senator's to-day. and he made II
as emphatically and unequivocally as
he was capable Of making it. 1t Is
deemed likely by officials Of the adj
ministration and by many senator's
that both treaties will be ratified by
March 4, but 1t Is said there are grave
reasons Of state why both treaties
should be ratified as soon as possible.
These have induced the president to
make the announcement to senators
OF his determination.

by a smooth looking stranger II he
might have the pile of stone dust
which had accumulated under the saw

help himself and the fellow boxed 1t

though a jeweler examined the stone
and pronounced II first-class one the
young man wouldn't buy. A few days
later, however, he offered 500, and
the stranger accepted. The stone and
the money changed hands, and after

best information obtainable under diff
ficuties, were lost in fire which
Friday morning destroyed the Clifton
hotel in Cedar Rapids. Ia. The fire
started ut 2:30 o'clock and at ~
o'clock the smoldering debris fur
nished so fierce a heat that search for
bodies was impossible. The hotel,

have been a veritable fire trap. The
hames started in a pile OF rubbish In
the basement. presumably ignted by
defective electric light wires.
The list of dead may prove larger
than the number given. but it is sup

for all but this number. is correct.

Dennis Curran, a well know trap

wolves and a lynx and has brought
the hides to Bessemer for bounty. He

Extraordinary Church.

The millennium in churches has

Apostolic Luthern Society has never
held a church fair, social or oyster
supper for remunerative purposes, has
never begged a cent from the business

has never gone outside of its own
membership for one cent of the cash
necessary to support the church. There
Is fine church edtice to keep up and

Delay Is Costly.

Because the railroad company had
