ENDS IN HIS DEATH.
Effort of Peter Nissen to Cross Lake
Michigan in Aquatic Balloon
Proves Fatal.

Stevensville, Mich, Dec. 2.-Peter MIS-
sen, who started from Chicago across
Lake Michigan in his aquatic balloon
called the Fool Killer No. 3" was found
dead on the beach two and half miles
west of this place. Nissen had con-
structed large canvass balloon and was
endeavoring to prove theory that en-
closed in the queer boat and sailing on
the water, the wind would blow it with
a rotary motion across the lake. He left
Chicago at three p. m. Tuesday. Nissen
is supposed to have been washed ashore
during the night. His Fool Killer" was
about 20 rods down the beach from the
body and was considerably damaged. A
life preserver and his overcoat were fas-
tened to the basket-shaped car in the
boat. The body was brought to Stevens
vile, where it lies in the town hall. The
hands and face are frozen and the fea-
lures reflect his suffering. The cloth
ing on the body was somewhat torn. It
Is thought that Nissen could not have
been dead a great while when the body
was found, as rigor mortis had not set
in.
When the wrecked aquatic balloon
was examined one of Nissen's business
cards was found, on the back of which
was note from the dead adventurer.

No. 4 Chatham street, and two of her

ME Perry, were forced to stand in the
street and see the tragedy. The force
full though kindly efforts of the police
kept them from. rushing into the

band and Servant to Take
Their Own Lives.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. ga wife's
jealousy caused the suicide of DR..
James H. Tucker, wel!-known Des
Moines physician, and Anna Clark, a
former domestic at the Tucker home,
here Sunday night. The girl was dis
charged from her position at the
Tucker home, and took poison at her
boarding house Sunday evening, after

GREAT FAIR CLOSES.
Doors of Beautiful Palaces at 81. Louis
Locked, and tho Exhibits Are
Being Packed Up.

st. Louis, Dec. "a brief but impress
sive ceremony held at the base of the
Louisiana Purchase monument con-
cluded the worlds fair at midnight
President D. r. Francis; accompanied
by a number of the officials of the expo
sition, congregated in the impromptu
rostrum. With the words: Farewell
long farewell to all your greatness .
President Francis touched small lever
and instantly the illumination through
out the grounds ceased. The exposition
was at an end.
Special exercises we're held at the
Plaza of St. Louis where President
Francis delivered his farewell address,
After the cheering following Presi-
dent Francis speech had died away, Yes
teus J. Wade, of st. Louis, member
of the board of directors, was intro
duced and presented to President Fran
els a beautiful silver service as token
of esteem from the exposition manage
ment. Drills and concerts and recep-
tons generally throughout the grounds
occupied the latter part of the day.
President Francis was rendered a gen.
eral reception at the house of the board
of lady managers.
Promptly at four o'clock all the great
exhibit palaces were closed and visi-
tors were excluded.
AS the night drew on throngs con-
centrated in the main avenues to view
for the last time the magnificent cleo
ttric illumination. One solid stream of
humanity swept through the Pike, from
end to end. The spirit of revelry was
there. Never since the opening had
more enlivenment been shown at night
on the grounds! Steadily the, white
electric bulbs silhouetted the exhibit
palaces against the night; periodically
the illumination of the Terrace of States
surmounting Festival hill changed from
white to red, then to green, and then
back to white. Over on Agricultural
Knoll the great floral clock clicked off
the minutes of the departing pageant.
And in the night rang out the tones of
the massive bell as the midnight hour
was tolled by the great clock. Instantly
a hush seemed to pervade the entire
grounds. The glowing electric bulbs
were extinguished and the Louisiana
Purchase exposition had passed into his
tory.

FEWER IMMIGRANTS.
Decrease in Number Of Arrivals from
Foreign Lands During
Past Year.


Washington, Dec. 5.-Immigration
to the United States decreased ma
terially during the last fiscal year, and
it is notable fact that the moral, in
tellectual and physical qualifications
of the immigrants admitted to this
country during the past year are high
er than ever heretofore have been
chronicled. These are two salient
features of the annual report of Frank
p. Sargent, commissioner general of
immigration.
The report says that during the past
fiscal year S12,S7O aliens arrived in the
United States, of which $4,000 were
males and 263,770 females, an increase
in the females, as compared with last
year, of 1880, and a decrease in the
males of 64,O46. OF the total number
of admitted immigrants 1858 could
read but not write, 16S,903 could
neither read nor write, and it is pre-
sumed the remainder could both read
and write. The total amount of money
shown to officers by these 812,870
aliens was $20,S94,3S3, or $4,776,870
more than was brought by the 857 ,046
arrivals of the last year. This fact,
says the report, taken in connection
with the countries from which the in
creases of the year under considera-
ton came, furnishes assurance of a
marked improvement in the character
and thrift of the more recent immi-
grafton.

Argentina has the greatest number
Of sheep of any country, but derives
relatively the least benefit from them.
This is due, in part, to the quality not
having yet been sufficiently refined, in
part to negligence in the care Of the
sheep, and lastly, to the prevalence of
scab, the curing of which has not been
made obligatory. In Australia curing
this disease was made compulsory 30
years ago.
