AS result OF his investigation he
says 1T Is possible for yellow fever cpl

in Mexico than so far has been{ the
case and that such epidemics will oc-

says, however, that the superior board
OF health Of Mexico Is working ener-
getically and trying to improve on the
Havana methods.
DR.. Howard made a thorough study
Of the boil weevils situation In Mexi-
CO, but failed to find the boil weevil
parasite. He discovered, however,
that the boil wceyil has reached an
elevation Of 5000 feet, which Is much
higher than 1t was expected the pest
would go. Owing to the climate,
Mexico cannot adopt the remedial
measures which are used in this coun-
try and on account OF the great raw

DR.. Howard also visited Louisiana
and examined the precautions adopted
in the effort to keep the weevil out OF
that state. DR.. j. II. Stubbs, direo-
tor of the Louisiana experiment sta.

can be kept out for some years. The
Louisiana shore OF the Sabine river is
the most dangerous means Of spread.

A WREATH SENT.
From Charleston to Chicago to Dec
crate Union Soldiers Graves.

When the cornerstone Of the Con-
federatc dead in Oakwood cemetery,
Chicago, was laid about six years ago,
Col. Henry l.. Turner, commanding
the First regiment Illinois State
troops, fired salute over the graves
Of the Confederate soldiers. much
against the will Of many Grand Army
men.
Turner is himself veteran of the
Army of the Potomac and member
OF the Grand Army of the Republic:
but he fired the salute and will ever
be held in the kindeSt remembrance
by the susvivOrs Of the Confederate
armies and the patriotic women of the
south.
Mrs. james Connor, widow of Brig.
James Connor of Gen. Lees army,
and president Of the Charleston chap
ter OF the Daughters OF the Confed-
eracy, has sent wreath to Chicago
bearing the following inscription:
10 Col. Henry L. Turner from the
Charleston, 5. c., Chapter, Daughters
Of the Confederacy, with the request
that this palmetto wreath shall be
placed by him on the grave OF a rep
resentative federal soldier in apprecla-
tion and acknowledgment of Col. Tur-
ner's fearless, soldierly courage amidst
circumstances in giving military hon
ors to the Confederate dead in Oak
land cemetery, Chicago. He honored
our dead. So.th Carolina would wish
to hold this tribute from federal to
Confederate in perpetual, grateful
memory X

KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED
Received Brutal Treatment at the
Hands of Some Thugs.

f1uudS Oh some InugS'
a special to The State from VIII
liamsSon says one CT The must daring
and dastardly attempts at robbery
that has ever been reported in this
section was Committed right in the
heart Of that town Saturday night.
1t seems that Mr.. NJ. II. Reeves, a
popular citizen and druggist, left his
store about 10 o'clock and stepped
across the street to the otlice of the
Southern railway agent with whom he
had business, but Mr.. Willis, the
agent, had closed his office for the
night and had gone home. AS Mr..
Reeves took hold of the door knob and
attempted to turn it to enter the Of
tice he was struck from behind and
fell to the floor of the platform and
knocked senseless. Mr.. Reeves knew
nothing until perhaps an hour LITER
when he was found lying in a So l.
conscious condition upon III p.s y. 3 N
where lie had fallen, by Policen. ii
Nelson, who heard his groans. -
Mr.. Reeves bUdy bears the marks
of more than 25 bruises where he vas
beaten and kicked His pockets we1e
riiled, but only small amount Of
money was missing from one Of his
pockets, while the other, which con-
tanned his pocket book, was undis-
turbed.
The whole case is wrapped in mys-
terry. The theory is advanced by some
that his assailants thought they were
victimizing MIR. Wills, the railway
agent, with view to robbing the de.
pot or obtaining considerable sum Of
money perhaps, which they hoped to
lind upon the person OF the agent, as
it is generally known that ne has no
safe in his unice. However, what the
object OF the attack was, can only be
conjectured.
1t is a well known fact that Mr..
Reeves has no persona! enemies and
he is popular among all classes and Is
Il member Of town council. No pains
will be spared on the part OF those In
authority to hunt down the guilty
ones and bring them to Justice.

"A Big Organ.

The immense organ which was re.
Gently installed at the st. Louis Ex-
position in Convention Hall, besides
being the largest organ in the world,
embodies one OF the greatest musical
instruments ever constructed. Its
total weight is 100000 pounds and
cost s67, 200 The pipes range in size
I'll the way from thirty-seven feet six
inches to three-quarters of and inch

The organ contains l40 musical stops
and ninety-nine mechanical stops. 1t
has 1l5 miles OF wire and has five
bellows, which are operated by a 20
horse power electric motor. The or
gan really combines six organs; reSpec-
lively, the great organ, swell organ,
solo organ, echo organ and pedal or

tiOn with it he will find himself help
less before the monster.

Muscular Religion.

Two Mormon elders went ID Win
gate, six miles east of there last Fri
day, says the Monroe Enquirer, and
before they left that village ran UP
against Rev j. w. Little, IA Baptist
minister who is we'll known through
out this section for his unique way, Of
going for those men and measures
which are SO obnoxious to him. Mr..
Little and the elders engaged i'm con
rersation and the subject of polygamy
as practiced by the Mormons, was
sprung One Of the elders said that
he had no argument againt polygamy,
but the mother Of Christ practiced it.
That assertion was too much for Mr..
Little and we learn that he told the
elder that he could say what he pleased
about Jimmy Little, but that he had
gone too far in Slandering that wo-
man, and with that declaration he
landed Il fist on the elders mouth,
and the elder, not being man of war,
turned TO flee and us he did so Mr..
Little kicked him, and also kicked the
other elder, and threw valise which
one had left them, and told them
never to come to Wingate again.
Neither OF the elders showed fight.

Foundin thnLulle.

a dispatch from Atlanta says a
black chiffon hat, identified as that
worn by Miss Sophie Klocckler, who
disappeared from her home on Grant
street Tuesday morning, was found
on the bank Of the lake at Lakewood.
The lake will be dragged. 1t is be-
lieved she was murdered and her body
thrown in the lake. She was seen
with a young man near Lakewood.
The mystery Of her disappearance has
been deepened by the finding Of pair
Of mans cuT buttons near the spot
where the body was pulled out, mar ked

found near the same place. 1t is be-
lieved that further developments gin

He Was a NYiscr.

An extraordinary affair is reported
from Zurich. The police, on examin-
ing the room OF an old man who had
died from starvation found veritable
gold mine. In every nook money,
notes and bonds were discovered and
on an inventory being made it was
found that the miSer had left nearly
$500, 900. Nobody was ever seen to
visit the old man, and as there was
no will the authorities are greatly
puzzled as to how to dispose OF the
fortune.

No Negroes Wanted.

At Portsmouth, Ohio, Virginia
negroes imported to fill the places of
striking employees at the Hanging
Rock, Ohio, Iron Company were fired
upon Thursday night. The strikers
stormed their camp houses firing
several hundred shots. The terror
stricken negroes barricaded them
selves In the main plant and the
riotes withdrew without renewing the
attack. There were no fatalities, hut
another outbreak may occur at any
Time as authorities seem Indifferent
to the situation.

Guessing Contest a LOTTERY.

Nathan Frank, former congress-
man from the Twelfth Missouri dis
trict and president OF the Star Pub
fishing company, August Frank, VIDE
president and treasurer OF the same
company, and NJ. j. Lowenstcin for
merly business manager OF the st.
Louis Star, were indicted on Saturday
by the grand jury on charges of ad-
vertising and maintaining a lottery.
Four indictments were returned in
Judge McDonald's division of the
Circuit court against each. The
lottery charge grows out of guessing
contest conducted by the company, in
which prizes aggregating $25, 900 were
offered to persons guessing the num-
Der Of admissions to the worlds fair
on the opening day and to Others com
ing nearest to the correct number.
Nathan and August Frank surrender
ed went into Judge Taylor's court, to
which the cases have been assigned
A few minutes later they were joined
by Mr.. Lowensten and all three gave
bond in the sum. of 81 900 each. 1t
is said on what is considered reliable
authority that the Star collected
$l00,000 as a result OF its guessing
contest. This fact was brought to
the attention OF the grand Jury and
indictments followed. Conviction
means two year sentence in the
penitentiary.

The soldler's Dream.

4 dreamed dream last night, wife;
thought. they d called the roll,
And / saw the soldiers Stall in line"
AS they used to do of old;
1t was a solemn sight, wife
Their locks were white as snow,
While an angel gave out badges
And q shining cross you know.
The badges were for passports, dear,
10 cross Sullen stream
That wound just like serpent
Round our 'campment in my dream;
p heard the angel calling,
"Ye yet'rans fall in line!'
And saw our colums moving
Like they did in olden time.
Far out within the gloaming,
Upon the bloody plain,
could see the whitened tombstones
OF the men who had been slain;
The smoke 1t seemed had cleared away
From the field, meath clOudless skies,
And heard the angel calling
To the dead to now arise.
Deep trouble came upon me,
For the angel from on high,
In giving out the badges,
It seemed had passed me by;
My eyes were sore with weeping,
For 1 saw deaths waters CLEAN,
And knew l had no passport
To bear me DER the stream!
And others, too, were weeping
One had a precious wife,
= son and other children,
,lOved more than his life:
,thers carried bags of gold,
.neir forms all bending low,
Thus weighed with lifc'S treasures.
That they could not cross you know.
But ran and called the angel
please help me DER the Strcam."
For heard the waves now laShing,
And could see deaths water cleaning
Then flew the angel backward:
"Why linger thou l pray?
Did'st thou not hear the order
To fall In line today?
Then gave he my passport,
And my JOY now did seem
So very great-unutterable-
That it walked me from my dream,
I've been thinkg Ger this mai Ter, wife,
Since the dawning of the day;
You see our forms are bending
And our locks have done turned gray.
Our feet are sore and heavy, dear,
And our eyes are getting dim,
But, as wc tOtter down life'S pathway
We will put our trust i'm him:
We II not faltcr at deaths waters,
>We'll not trouble at their CLEAN,
For God will send an angel,
TO bear us DER the stream.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
British Roads Have Few Accidents
and American Roads MANY.

The number of persons killed in
train accidents during the last three
months of 1903 was 446, and Of injur-
cd j, lTS. Accidents Of other kinds,
including those sustained by employees
while at work and by passengers in
getting on or oil of the cars, etc.
bring the total number Of casualties
up to 4,4S5 | l66 killed and 1879
injured. There was total OF I47
passengers killed and LIS injured.
all OF whom, with the exception Of if-
teen injured, suffered in collisions or
derallments. The figures are discour-
aging, indeed, and comparing the re-
cord Of the three months i'm question
Win that OF any other previous three
months since the beginning of the
bulletins, we find an increase OF about
100 per cent over the highest previous
figures.
In order to get some basis Of com
parlson We must refer to the figures
given by the British board of trade.
which exhibit but twenty-five passen
gers killed during the whole year of
1903 1t will be remembered that
during the year 1901 no passenger was
Killed ina collision or derailment on
the railways of Great Britain, and
that in 1,e year 1902 six passengers
only were killed from this cause. In
the great increase which took place in
1908, however, aim ST all Of it vas
due to collision Of unusual sort at
Glasgow, where seventeen passengers
were killed; and yet, with even such
tremendous proportionate increase,
the British mortality for one year is
but one-siXth Of the mortality in this
cOuntry for three months.
