Mr.. Knowlton was wandering along
the beach near Tampico. He had with
him a long distance Marlin rifle but
had given up looking for game. The
weather was very hot and he decided
that he would take a plunge in the
surf. Leaving his weapon and his
clothes on the beach he entered the
water. A light wind blew from the
shore and he was unconsciously car
ried some distance out into the gulf
before he was aware of the fact. He is
a strong swimmer and had covered a
part OF the distance back to dry land
What he saw almost froze the blood in
his veins and it is no idle gossip that
his hair stood straight up on his head.
A large shark was making straight for
him and was only about 100 yards
away. He swan as only a man in his
position would swim and when his feet
touched ground in shallow water the
monster was only a short distance be-
hind him. But the frightened man was
in a position to make better time and
he rushed through the water to safety
on the shore.
The shark was so intent on his prey
that he ran far into the shallow water
and became fastened in the sand. MT.
Knowlton was only few feet ahead
of the monster when he fell exhausted
on the ground and he could hear tAe
swapping of the horrible jaws of the
giant fish as it vainly attempted to
extricate itself from the sand. AS
soon as Mr.. knowlton had recovered
his breath he ran to where he had left
his gun and began pumping the bullets
into the captive shark until he had
emptied the magazine of his gun. To
make sure work he again loaded his
weapon and put IL more shots into the
writhing body in the shallow water Der
fore him The fish was so large and
heavy that the Topeka man could not
drag it onto the dry land and when
the tide came up the body of the
shark was carried out to sea.
There are other versions of this story
but the above is vouched for by men
who are known to be absolutely truth
full. Mr.. Knowlton is naturally modest
and it is with difficulty that any one
has succeeded in securing the details
of his exploit. He Is lamenting, how
ever that the circumstances prevent
ed him from at least bringing the skin
of TIE shark home with him.
Among the trophies which Mr..
Knowlton brought home with HIM is
magnificent golden eagle which he
makes no claim to having captured
himself. He admits that he bought it
from a man who had captured it when
it was small. He also brought several
parrots with him. He stA-s that he is
entirely satisfied with his trip and that
it was quite exciting enough to satisfy
the most exacting individual in quest
of adventure.

Crowni,.p ACT of Inbumanitv

Toxic, Oct. 26-S A. M.-The Nichi
Nichi in commenting upon the sinking
of the trawler crane in the North sea
by the Russian second Pacific squad
ron says that the action is beyond the
capacity of comprehension of the ordi-
nary sane mind.
1.-The vessels attacked" the paper
continues, were harmless fishing boats
belonging to a neutral power ana to
indulge in such a fragrant violation of
international usage is only possible
with one holding nothing in common
with civilized people.
1.-THE act is too fragrant to be ex-
planned as a mistake and doubtless the
government of the injured people will
take due action against Russia
The Nichi Nichi then goes on to re-
cite other illegal acts of Russia against
neutrals. It pronounces this the crown
ing act of an already well known in
humanity, and declares that the Rus
slams completely lack a sense of hu-
mainly, an attribute of enlightened
minds.

Kuropatkin Made Commander-in-
Chief

st. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-The text of
Viceroy Alexieff's order of the day,
which was read before the troops in
the far east Monday announcing the
appointment of General Kuropatkin to
be commander-in-chief of all the land
forces in the east is as follows:
His majesty at the same time
deigned to favor me with an expression
of commander-in-chief and has ap-
pointed General Kuropatkin COM
nander-in-chief of all our land forces
in the far east, while retaining me in
my position of viceroy.
His majesty at the same time de-
signed to favor me with an expression
of sencere appreciation for my efforts
in connection with the formation OF
the military forces on the viceroyalty,
their concentration on the war zone
and my conduct of affairs as COM
mander-in-chief of our forces in the
far east. While notifying the land and
sea forces in the territory of the far
east of the imperial will and mark OF
favor, graciouSly conferred by our
monarch, consider it my duty to con-
vey my cordial thanks to the glorious
troops under my command who have
taken immediate share in the military
operations, for the truly Self-Sacrificing
service distinguished by many heroic
deeds on the part of both men and
leaders of all grades. 1 also express
nv sincere thanks to the troops which
have not yet met the enemy for their
energy and indefaugabil1ty in difficult
positions.
1 shall always be very proud and
hold in the highest honor that special
confidence the monarch conferred
upon me as commander-in-chie of the
glorious troops which have adorned
their banners with fresh glory,
1t is my firm belief that, with Gods
help, our strong foe will be over
thrown by our troops-to the glory of
the emperor and to the glory of our
ha1Ouad fafhQrland.

WILCOX DIDN'T SAY IT.
Tells Governor Bailey Western Kansas
Isn't Crazy.

Two or three weeks ago a furore
was created in certain circles by the
publication of an alleged interview by
Prof. William Craig Wilcox of the
University of Iowa, in the Chicago pa
pers, in which Prof. Wilcox was
quoted as saying that the people of
western Kansas were many of them
crazy. because of climatic conditions,
and that this accounted for the polit-
ica1 eccentricities of Kansas in past
years.
Prof. Wilcox says he was grossly
misrepresented in the matter and that
he did not make the statements at
tributed to him Govern6r Bailey has
recently received the following letter
from him:
Governor Willis J. Bailey, Topeka,
Kansas.
my Dear Sir: Yesterday morning
several newspapers represented me as
calling the people of western Kansas
crazy. I said nothing of the sort. The
papers this morning represent you as
being highly indignant at my re-
marks. These remarks were never
made by me.
The young man whom 1 suspected
of starting this false report was
resenting me in several instances. He
finally admitted to me that he had lied
and begged my pardon.
What really did say can be found
in this mornings Record-Herald (Oct.
49,. If you will read these remarks
of mine, which are authentic, you will
find what l really did say. Yesterdays
articles are simply sample of yellow
Journalism. Very respectfully yours.

No Preparation for War Yet.

London, Oct. 26.-Apart from the ad-
miralty's announcement that precau-
tionary orders had been issued to the
fleets there are practically no signs of
anything in the nature of warlike pre-
parations, thus confirming the opinion
universally held in all we'll informed
circles here that the pledges given by
Emperor Nicholas and the Russian
government will be generally fulfilled
and that the crisis will pass away with
out serious consequence.
A telegram from Portsmouth report
ed that orders had been received this
morning to hurry the equipment of GER
tain ships of the reserves but this. it is
understood, was comprised in the adj
miralty's order already announced, and
this continues to receive high approval
from public bodies and the newspapers
though the more jingoistic of the latter
express the hope that it means that the
Russian squadron will not be permitted
to go beyond Gibraltar, or if 1t does
that the squadron will be followed.
Vice Admiral Lord Beresford's vessels,
the channel squadron, are lying con-
veniently in the shadow of the rock of
Gibraltar.
The British cruiser Suffolk, which was
to have left Gibraltar for Malta today,
was ordered to remain at Gibraltar.
Reports of the whereabouts of the
Russian squadron are coming from var
ious quarters. Besides the arrival here
of a steamer with a report of sighting
the squadron, a steamer which arrived
at Dartmouth today reports having
sighted fi~e Russian battleships and
three torpedo boat destroyers off Ushant
at midnight Monday. This is supposed
to be the second division of the squad
ron.
A telegram from Brest says the trans
port Kinasgortchakoff is still in the
outer roads awaiting the squadron. She
has $500 tons of coal and 80 seamen on
board who are to join the ships of the
squadron. Her commander this morn
ing signalled a request to the Russian
vice consul to come on board.
From Fiume, Hungary, comes the an
nouncement of the arrival there of six
British warships, while the rest of the
British Mediterranean fleet is on its
way to- Pola, Austria.

Devoted to Irrigation.

st. Louis Mo, Oct. 26.-The second
section of the Transmississippi Com
mercial congress, held today in the hall
of congresses, was marked by an even
larger attendance than characterized
the opening session. Today's meeting
was largely devoted to irrigation and
many papers were read treating on the
methods pursued in retaining arid
lands. John w. Noble, of st. Louis,
former secretary of the interior, dis
cussed the question, whether Wash
ington and Oregon are considered part
of the territory embraced in the Louisi-
ana Purchase General Noble declared
that they were considered a portion OF
the acquired territory, otherwise Ex-
plorers Lewis and Clark would not have
made their expedition into that section.

TO DEFEND POWERS.
Governor Black Will Go to Kentucky
After the Election.

New York, Oct. 26.-Immediately
after the election next month former
Governor Frank S. Black will go to
Frankfort, KY, where he will enter
into a legal battle for which he has
volunteered his services with the hope
of saving the life of Caleb Powers,
who is awaiting execution in that state
for completely in the ASA ssination of
Governor William Goebel.
Mr.. Black has told his friends that
he believes Powers innocent and de-
clares he will fight against the verdict
of the lower courts and if necessary
carry the case to the supreme tribu-
nal at Washington.
The testimony of three hundred wit
nesses living in all sections of Ken
lucky will be taken.
