Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 25.-Amid scenea
OF panic III which some terror stricken
men lost their heads and sought to throw
women and children overheard, the pleas,
TIRE steamer Indiana went to the bottom
OF the indianapolis Water company's
canal at FairvieW park.
The park officials think nobody was
drowned, but two passengers say tina
they saw a woman with a baby sink to thu
bottom. They did not see them come a
the surface, and feel sure they were
drowned.
About fifty people were on board when
the vessel SAN about t~hree-quarters Of a
mile above its starting point In the canal,
which is about eight miles long and runs
from indianapolis to Broad Ripple park,
The canal is narrow, and from ten to
fifteen feet deep in the middle. 1t is not
yet certain what sent the steamer to the
bottom. Defective machinery, overload
ing on one sid and leaks are given as rea,
sons by different persons.
Sktffs on the canal aided In the work OF
rescue Of f~ainting women and children:
Thirty people were thrown into the wa
ter when the boat sank.

THREsHiNG is GENERAL.
Two Weeks of Favorable Weather Will
Place Corn Out of Dancer.

49,
Sioux Falls, Aug. 26.-Harvesting is
now completed in the southern and
central portions of the state, and is
practically completed In the northern
counties. In some localities, owing to
excessive moisture, farmers have had
difficulty In harvesting grain on low
ground. Threshing is becoming gem
eral over the state. There are some re-
ports OF a shortage OF threshing hands.
Now that the small grain, generally
speaking, is out Of the way, the corn
crop is being watched with some NIX
lety by the farmers Of the state. Two
weeks more of favorable weather, such
as was experienced during the last
week, will place the great bulk Of the
corn In the southern and central por-
tons Of the state beyond the possible
lily OF damage by early frosts. while
three weeks will be required to pull
ti say'si 80 e0l'l 7 ne n0r'nefn ~
In view of the critical stage which
corn has reached, unique methods may
be adopted by many farmers to prevent
injury to this important crop should
frost be experienced before corn ma
lures. It has been suggested that
farmers cut and rake up hay tumbles
about their corn fields, especially on
the north and west sides, and when the
danger point comes-if it does come-to
start the smudges and cover the fields
with great clouds of smoke, thus pre-
venting damage to corn by frost.
The hundreds Of tlrashing machines
which are now at work throughout the
state pounding out the grain which will
during the next few months bring into
the state millions of dollars, are prov
ing that early predictions to the effect
that the yield would he one of the
greatest in the history of South Dakota
were not exaggerated.

1000 ACRES RECLAIMED.
BY Means Of Large bitches Much Fla,
Land Is Drained.

Canton, S. D.. Aug. 26.-Many OF the
farmers OF this county who are the
owners Of fiat lands with poor drainage
are preparing to avail themselves Of an
act passed by the last state legislature,
which affords them absolute relief.
This act provides that In all cases
where insufficient drainage OF lands
suitable for farming purposes exists,
the owners thereof may secure relief
by petittoning the county authorities
to have the same properly drained by
means of$large bitches to be construct
ed for that purpose. In pursuance OF
that act about forty prominent farmers
in the southwest part of this county
recently made a petition to the county
commissioners asking that two Of these
bitches be constructed for their relief.
The total cost of constructing these
bitches will be about $1,000, and about
1000 acres Of and now practically un.
fit for cultivation will be reclaimed
thereby. The land now has very little
If any value, and by the Introduction
OF this roces it viii be worth $50 per
acre. or a total Of about half a million
dollars.

FATHERS AWFUL CRIME
Charles Taylor Assaults His Two

Charles Taylor Assaults His Two
Daushters-Lynchina Threatened.
Oskaloosa, Ia, Aug. 26.-Charles
Taylor, a white man, raped his two
daughters, aged 16 and IS, at Evans
coal camp, five miles west of this city,
This morning.
Taylor came home this morning and
started abusing his family and his
daughter Maude started to flee. The
pounded her almost to insensibility,
knocked her to the floor by a blow in
the face, picked her UP, threw her
across the bed and assaulted her. The
girls fac was terribly beaten. She
was strangled in the sight of her moth
er, who fed to a neighbours house,
where the girl followed.
Taylor ran to the house of a negro,
where he stayed several hours, and
threatened to shoot any n who fol-
lowed him. He had guns on his per-
son and said he wanted to see the To-
cal constable, openly threatening to
kill the officer on sight.
This afternoon when the miners were
gathering at their homes from work
a mob OF several hundred formed and
excitement ran high. The mob start
ed In pursuit OF Taylor, who fled to
the woods. He then went to the house
of a family named Scott, where his 49,
syear-old daughter was working. He
got the little daughter away from the
house on some pretext and raped her.
This child is in a serious condition.
Constable John Ruggenberg had
to Oskaloosa for help. In COM
pany with two police officers he re-
turned and gave chase to the fleeing
man, who was surrounded near OliVet
by a squad of six armed men and cap
tured.
In the meantime a mob of 500 men
and boys who had gathered threatened
%lynching. The prisoner was secreted
on the edge of the town and turned
over to Oskaloosa officers. who hurried
him to the Mahaska county Jail.
Excitement at Evans runs high.
Many shots have been fired and lynch
ing is openly threatened. The officers
got a good lead out Of the camp and
1t is thought the mob will not follow to
Oskaloosa.
Taylor recently was discharged from
the Fort Madison penitentiary, where
he served a year for raping an 11-year-
old girl at Eddyville in the winter Of
1901. He is past 40 years of age and
has been a notorious character in po-
lice courts on numerous charges since
his term expired. He has gained a
livelihood by gambling and is an all
around bad man. 1t is said this is his
third Offense Of rape. rs

REVOLUTION THREATENS

Spain Are Exceedingly Bad.
Madrid. Aug. 2b,-lt is not exagger-
ating popular feeling here 10 say that.A

ants, bourgeoise. II art~isans-haVe
lost respect for the government, ana On
account of a variety OF causes,
the failure of the most recent specu-
lations, are suffering from extreme &C.
onomic depressions.
The republican party, taking adVaht
agekof the spirit OF discomfort Whlch IS
perva1ing the civil, military and naval
classes, has drawn these classes into
its movement. The forces OF the feVo-
luton, from Bilboa to Jerez n from
Cadiz to Barcelona, are forming up IN
the open. Even Madrid Is becomingsa
citadel of the revolutionary propagan-
ia and intrigue.
Republicans and Socialists.
The Spanish socialist party. which
has hitherto been an enemy of the re-
publican party, has, at a general as
sembly, voted to ally Its FORCES with
the republicans at the coming election.
The republican spirit may be judged
from the tone of a circular sent on Au-
gust 9 throughout the country by
Senior Salmeron, the head of the party.
1t calls on his partisans to organize
meetings Ito criticise, censure and at
tack the monarchical regime for show
ing its in~compatibility with the ma
tional spirit and the craving for JUS
tice." Moreover" the circular con-
tinues, 'let the causes OF our great ma
tional misfortunes be bitterly empha-
sized"
The circular says that while the party
has profound love for the fatherland
it feels for the army and navy, which
is flesh of its flesh. over whose pres
tige the monarchy neither a nor will
stand guard.
Strike Agitation Fails.
For the third time an attempt to
start q general strike has failed. but
the progress of the organization Of
unions is considerable. A crisis in the
house building trade alone has thrown
more than &c, 900 workmen into the
streets of Madrid.
The agitation in favor of Il general
strike was merely the result of the
economic crisis which is general
throughout Spain. In the years 1899
1900 the industrial development in the
country was extraordinary. Com
panies representing 800. 600, 900 pesetas
were formed, and there was a general
boom in business, but now the crash
has come. The sugar refineries are
maneuvering to form a trust. Finan-
cial failures at Bilbao have been fol-
lowed by others at Santander, the
Asturias, northern Galicia, and Andal-
usia. Meanwhile. the poorer classes are
bearing the burdensome taxes and the
discomfort is growing and spreading.
