NO more BODIES FOUND
IN DEBRIS OF WRECK

One of the bodies at the morgue, a
victim of yesterdays wreck disaster
81 the Division street crossing of
the 8. F. & N, was positively identi-
fed this morning as that of a casual
worker at the Great Northern shops
at Hillyard known as Bill Thomas.
The men who identified the remains
were C. c. Persons of 316 Riverside
avenue and Albert Hegstrom of 1922
Clark street.
They told Morguekeeper Smith that
they knew nothing of Thomas ante
cedents and only knew him as one
who had been for a few days doing
odd Jobs about the Hillyard shops.
1t was on the remains identified as
those of Thomas that the two pay
checks were found yesterday, 1t is
not known how he came into pos
session of them, but it is possible
that he may have had money and
cashed them for Hunt and Epellman.
Coroner Smith is working after
facts which will throw. light on the
causes Of the disaster. What infor-
nation he has gained he keeps to
himself. He does not know when
he will hold an inquest. and 1t may be

Caterpillar Pest.

A pest of black caterpillers that
made its appearance In Cannon's and
Brownies additions late last week has
practically destroyed many shade
trees. The pest became SO thick last
Sunday that on some branches every
leaf seemed to have its insect burden.
Spraying machines have been In de-
mand, and some of the residents have
thinned their trees by cutting off
limbs which had been practically de-
nuded Of leaves. No explanation of
the unusual number of the caterpil-
lars Is made unless it Is the late cool
spring and damp weather which has
resulted in an unusually heavy hatch
ing Of the insects.

Mr.. Henry L IIoke. re the Clay

Of potatoes in a trench Eve feet long,
two feet vide and three feet deep.
Then ne covered the potatoes with a
hip roof of boards, covered with earth
to y depth Of six or eight inches, and
dug q trench around the sides for drain
age. Two heavy rains came along
and some water got into the potatoes.
AS the result Of this he made o better
covering for the roof. He went into
the potatoes a few days ago., and with
the exception Of a half bushel that
had rotted he found them in frst-olass
condition. He left about a peck at

Augusta . Mhi.,lipg Choir.

Probably the most pecnliar and
unique choir ia the world j., that OF
the Bureau Baptist Sunday School in
Augusta. Anyway it enjoys tho dis.
tinction Of being the only one Of its
kind and is perfectly original with its
head, Dir. Fred J.. Lockhart, a promi-
nent lawyer of that city. Mr.. Lock
hart obtained his idea from seeing the
"Burgomaster'' played when it ap-
peared there some time ago. He heard
one Of the airs whistled and when the
audience Joined III the chorus the
eject struck him az being 80 striking
that he at once decided to put it in
use in the choir Of the Sunday School
Of which he is superintendent.
Mr.. Lockhsrt talked the matter over
with the pastor Of the church, the
Rev. Mr.. j. Fl. Oliver. and they de.
cided to organize q whistling choir,
and that it should be tried the follow
ing Sunday. When the scholars had
assembled Mr.. Lockhart spoke to the
congregation Of his intentions and
asked that IS many young people as
could whistle come up to the front
and q trial would be made at once.
T~wenty-eight young men, attracted by
the novelty of the thing, responded
and volunteered to join such q choir.
They were seated around the ryan
and Mr. Lockhart announced they
would sing the words while the new
choir whistled and the young men
were asked to lead the next hymn. To
this request they all responded hearth
ly and seemed to be at home. After
the frst trial the "whistling orches-
ira was pronounced a great success,
aud the young men we're asked to try
another song, which they did with o
| will.
With the whistlers to lead them the
congregation gained confidence, and
many who had been too timid to sing
before now joined in and added great
volume to the singing. The effect was
all that had been expected aud Mr..
Lockhart was 80 we'll pleased with the
initial effort that the whistling choir
was then and there organized and be-
came o permanent PIE.
This novel choir mas proved quite a
drawing card and large crowds visited
the church to hear it; many Of them
went out Of idle curiosity and pre-
pared to laugh at and even criticise
the orchestra. All who went, wheth-
or with This intention or otherwise,
were very much struck with the nov
city of the thing, but there was moth
ing frivolus, nothing to, criticise; the
effect was splendid, and all remained
and enjoyed tho novel innovation. At
first the choir merely led the singers,
but as, they gained confidence Whit
ling oyertures were given unassisted
by either organ or scholars.
In the several months since the or
ganization Of the "whistling orches-
ira" the young men have. improved
wonderfully aud have learned to whis-
tie in the different voices and under
the direction Of Mr.. Lookhart is be-
oomingone of the best trained choirs
