TOO COLD FOR THE ELEPHANT
Drives Him Mad by Freezing His Ears and

Piay Havoc.

st. Paul. Jan. 25.-Maddened by the
intense cold. which had frozen its ears
and trunk, an elephant belonging to an
animal show which had been exhibit
ing at a local theater, almost killed
its keeper. Conrad Castens. and part
ly wrecked the Milwaukee freight
house. The animals had been taken
to the freight house preparatory to
leading them into cars for Minneapo-
lis. During the night the elephant suf-
fered intensely with cold. and when at
tempt was made to get him upon the
car he became enraged and tore TO
pieces the heavy planks in the loading
platform, scattering them in all di-
rections.
Castens then went to the animals
head and attempted to pacify it, but
the beast threw him TO the ground
and planted his foot upon him. crush

humiliation at Pirtsburg Passing, but In
tense Cold Now Prevails.
Pittsburg, Jan. 25.-The flood has
in a great measure passed this point,
and che submerged portion of the two
cities is at last free of water. The bit
ing cold weather that prevails aug
ments the distress which exists in the
flooded sections. Desolation exists in
all parts of the two cities from VIII oh
the water have receded. Wreckage
and huge cakes of ice strew the streets.
A thick settlement of Shiny mud
mingled with ice makes many districts
unfit TO walk through. Huge timbers,
portions of doors, s~tairways. barrels,
boxes, canS and other debris washed
upon the streets by the food have rest
ed where the water left them.
A round up of the damage done in
the Pittsburg district demonstrates
that it will not exceed half a million
dollars in actual damages. To this
amount, however, must be added the
loss to the manufacturers and mills
through forced shut downs and to
workmen through suspended wages.
which will run the total close to the
million mark. No loss of life isrep0rt-
ed.
The loss at Cincinnati will reach
$200,000, with an indirect loss much
greater.

This is a billiOn-dollar country in
some ways, but not in others. 1t is a
billion dollar country in the one mat
ter of corn, when the crop, in 1902,
was Of greater value than 81, 600, 0O0,
900, but in the matter of the National
debt it is not. According to the latest
statistics from the Department Of
Commerce and Labor. the corn crop
and the National debt are running 4
race-the corn crop of 1908 falling t.
the value of 1852, SOS, Sol, while the
National debt fell to 1925, oil, 637.
The comforting assurance, however,
is that with prudent administration Of
internal and foreign affairs the Nation
al debt will continue to fall. while the
development of the country, the i'm
proved methods and increasing energy
of the farmer will attend to the in
crease of the other crops Of hay and Of
wheat, of oats and TOBACCO, cotton and
sugar.
There is no doubt of the wealth of
the United States. France is rich
so rich that she was able to pay to
Germany the enormous idemnity de-
manded by Bismarck, and able to pay
it without seeking other resources
than the patriotism and the boarded
wealth of her industrious and econom-
ical peasantry and bourgeoise. But
France, today, is staggering under the
enormous Indebtedness Of IS, 1856, 312,-
s92, and not one of her crops, nor any
ten of them, would equal In value the
amount of her National debt, while
that of the United States is more than
balanced by the value of the q crop
of corn OF 1908, Notwithstanding the
value of the crop of 1902.
The aggregate value of the crops of
the United States in 1908 was $780,

Falling.

Aalesund, Norway. Jan. 25.-The fire
which swept over this town destroyed
every building in it with the exception
CT the hospital. The 11,090 inhabitants
of Aalesund were compelled to camp
in the open, as only a few damaged
and uninhabitable houses were left
standing. The children of the town
had to be housed temporarily in the
church at Borgund. The panic among
the people was so great after the out
break of the flames that all attempts
at leadership or discipline became out
of the question; no excuses, however,
were committed. The people first en-
deavored to save some of their prop
erty, but they soon found that they
had quite enough to do to save their
own lives.
Nothing Left i'm Two Hours.
The destruction of the town was
complete within a couple of hours
from the tine the fire started. Over
twenty steam fishing boats and many
sailing smacks were unk in the har-
Dor in order to save them from the
flames, but three steamers and many
smacks were burned. 1t is believed
now that only three persons lost their
lives Succor has arrived from Mode,
Bergen and other places, and pro-
visions are being distributed. Relief
committees have been formed and have
invited public subscriptions. The king
and queen of Sweden and Norway
have contributed 81 500 to a relief fund,
and all the other members of the royal
family have also subscribed.
Loss May Reach S., o 900.
Most of the inhabitants of the town
lost everything they possessed, and
only in a very few cases were the dam
ages covered by insurance. Thousands
Of persons had to spend tw%enty-four
hours in the open fields. where they
were without food and exposed to 4
bitterly cold wind and a driving rain.
1t is estimated that the money loss
will be not less than 100000, and
may reach S5,O0O,OOO. The disaster
comes at a peculiarly hard time Of
year for the fishing folk, for the new
season was just opening. The fisher
men of Aalesund always have been a
prosperous class. and the fisheries were
conducted according to the most mod
ern methods.

have been apprehended by Clinton

Put Under $500 Bail.
Willard Gait, alleged to have been
the leader of the m~iscreants. was ap-
pretended at the home of Pete Glad
ish near this city, and arrested. A pre-
liminary hearing was held, and Gait
was placed under $500 bond. In com
pany with the marshal Gait visited
the home of a relative. whom he re-
quested to secure his bond, but was re-,
fused. As they left the house Gait,
sprang away from the officer, who
emptied his revolver in the direction
of the prisoner. Gait succeeded in
eluding his pursuer and is still at lib
erty, but evidently wounded.
Further Details of the Atrocity.
1t has developed that Lafe Dedman
and his wife were travelling about the
country and staying wherever they
could find shelter. 1t was late when
they entered the chapel with the inten-
ton to spend the night there. When
they were attacked the woman
screamed and attracted the attention
of two farmers living e the chapel,
who hurried to the rescue, but were
held at bay with a revolver.
