CARNIVAL IN THE SOUTH.
His Merry Majesty, Rex, Arrives ~
New Orleans and Festivities
Are Begun.

New Orleans, Feb. 16.-With the ar
rival Of his merry majesty, Rex, the
New Orleans carnival may be said to
be in full swing. Arriving trains Mon
day brought several thousand visitors,
including many people of prominence
in the business and social circles of
the north, east and west. Meteoro-
logically, the day was an ideal one.
The king of the carnival made his
entry into the city by the river route,
landing from his yacht at the head
of Canal street, where there was an
immense congregation of people. He
had been escorted up the river by a
gayly decorated fleet of boats. The
battleship Texas was dressed for the
occasion. Local and federal troops led
the parade Of his majesty through the
streets of the city, which were densely
packed. The night programme includ-
ed the parade of Proteus and the ball
of that organization at the French op-
era house.
Mobile, Ala, Feb 16.-"Mother Of
Myths" carnival is in progress here,
and larger crowds than ever before are
in attendance and weather conditions
are perfect. Emperor Felix III. ar
rived in state and was given a royal
salute, after which the keys of the
city were delivered unto him.

MISS NELSON SUICIDED
That is the Conclusion Reached by the
Officers at Pierre, S. O., After an In
vestisation Of all the Facts at Boone
and the Dakota City.

PIERRE, S. D., March ia thorough
investigation of the poisoning of Miss
Rena Nelson through box Of candy
Indicates that, it was case OF suicide
planned to draw into serious trouble
the woman who stood in the way of
Miss Nelson's possible marriage with
Sherman Dye.
A confectioner states that on the day
in question Miss Nelson came into his
store and wanted an empty candy box.
He had none which would suit her and
she left the place. She went to another
confectionery, and there bought a box
Identical with the one she alleged she
identical with those left in the box.
Last November Miss Nelson received>
a letter from Sherman Dye in which he
told her that he was tired Of her. and
desired to stop the correspondence. She
showed this letter to several girl friends
in the city and was much depressed in
the address upon the box was written
upon an envelope torn out and pasted
on the wrapper This was postmarked
at Boone. Iowa, January %, and had
been run through cancelling machine
with waxed lines. The box was not
received here until February 81.
The stamp which was cancelled in
January was yet attached to the en-
relopa and whatever other stamps
had been placed on the box had been
torn off, with the exception of frag-'
ment of 2-cent stamp which had been
partly placed on the postmarked envel-
ope. AS one end of this fragment was
loose, under it could be seen the wave
lines on the Boone cancellation. While
the wrapper was torn in such manner
as to show this, it was not damaged in
any other way.
So far as the poison tablets which
were contained in the box are concern
it had not been possible to trace them
but as Miss has acted as nurse In
several cases in this city where such
tablets had been used for antiseptic
purposes, she could easily have had
them in her possession.
After a thorough investigation here
the officers went to Boone and inves-
;igated. They failed to find any boxes
in stock or having been kept In stock
in that city like the one Miss Nelson
bought here and which she claimed to
have received. Neither could they find
candies similar to the ones here which
had been. made at Mankato Mimi.
They found no wrapping paper used
~, +l,n toner's in that town like
that used here and which was around
the box. They investigated all the
sources possible while in the Iowa city,
and have finally reached the conclusion
that 1t was a case of self destruction
with an attempt to fasten a crime on
Mrs. Dye.

no foundation whatever for the report
as none of those interested in the
short line have ever even been APP
preached regarding the Minnesota
proposition.
This report revives interest in the
proposed extension of the Des MONIES
short line northeast from here to some
point in northern Iowa. Owing to the
absence of President e. S. Ellsworth
in Florida nothing definite has as yet
been done regarding the route for this
extension. but on his return the last
of the month, the matter will be taken
under advisement by the directory and
it is thought some decision will be
speedily made as several surveys have
been made and the figures on construc-
ton of each route have been com
piled this winter for the guidance OF
the board when the matter comes up
for consideration. that the extension
will be made is evident since the rails
and ties for an extension have been
bought so that there will be no delay
in the delivery of this material when
the line is ready for tracking.
