Mayor 0. 3. Eaton is at the head CT
a large rescuing party, and search is
now being made in the debris for pos
sible additional victims.
The greatest excitement prevails,
and the voluntary rescueTs are hero
ically working in the hope of saving
many who are known to have been
carried down by the rushing waters.
The cCl0red settlement in the vicin-
ity Of the reservoir was entirely wreck

igently with the whites in the search
for the missing
The cause OF the disaster was the
overflow OF the reservoir, and a thor
Ough investigation will be made in or
der to ascertain if the negligence of
any Of the employees at the pump sta
ton was responsible for it. The res
ervOir burst without warning, and the
victims were drowned while asleep in
their beds.
One couple, a negro man and his
wife, fioated on their bed for 500 yards.
Neither one was injured.

LIVE WIRE KILLS BURGLAR.
Prominent Young Man of Montgomery
Found Dead.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. "A dispatch
TO The Banner from Montgomery, Ala,
says:
The body of James Hendricks, aged
%, one of the most prominent young
men in Montgomery, was found on the
shed over the American National
bank this morning. Beside him were
burglar tools, a stick of dynamite and
in his pocket was a pistol. He was
killed while trying to cut an electric
wire that ran into the bank. Hen
bricks had a splendid position, and
there is great mystery surrounding the
finding of his body and the burglars
tools. 1t is believed that he was used
as a tool and that others may be i'm
plicated.

Machine Given Practical Test With
Good Results.
Albany, Ga, Nov. 3.-A cotton-pick-
ing machine has at last been invented
and given a successful trial in the
cotton fields near Albany.
The machine is not entirely auto
matte, as the arms that carry the
little wheels which gather in the sta.
pie must be directed by human hands
to the open bolls. The arms carry
a chain With h30ped teeth, adjusted
like the chain Of a bicycle. When
the machine is in operation this chain
revolveS rapidly and the curved hooks
gather up the staple the instant it
touches the open boil and carries the
cotton upward until it is f1ecked off
into a receptacle by a revolving brush.
The machine carries four operators
and a driver, for each of-whom a com.
Portable seat is provided. There is
no necessity for any bending or stoop.
ing on the part of the operative, and
all he is required to do is to direct
the well balanced and nicely adjusted
arms of the machine. 1t is estimated
that each arm should gather up one
boil per second at a very slow rate of
speed, making $50 bolls per minute
for the four operators, or $500 per
hour. As the bolls early in the sea.
son average 60 to so to the pound, one
machine can pick from $500 to 4,SOs
pounds per days Of 10 hours. One of
these machines with four boys and a
driver can do the work of 20 average
pickers.

the operations of the besiegers has
given out these reports before actual

after long preparations General Noe

Toxic, Nov. 3.-The official reports
of the Port Arthur operations since
Aug. 1, form a history of almost con-
tinuous fighting Of desperate nature
The Russians at first struggled des-
perately to block every Japanese adj
vance and then met the concentrated
artillery fire of the Japanese with its
kind. Latterly since the Japanese
begun advancing parallels and trav-
erses and extending mines, the Rus
SLAMS have been constantly making
sorties. They rushed into the Jap
anese trenches and engaged in furi-
Gus struggles with the engineers and
pioneers. With desperate courage
the Japanese continued to close in
upon the fortress, progressing stage
by stage. The Japanese infantry
never failed to respond when asked to
make an assault on almost impossible
positions, and when the troops gained
a foothold, they generally held it with
unflinching determination.

ANOTHER NEW BANK.
Second Bank in Kenosha County to be
Established at The Village OF
Silver Lake in August.
LOCAL CAPITALISTS INTERESTED.

Kenosha is no longer TO be allowed
the honor of having theQon1y bank in
the county, as it was announced this
morning that arrangements are being
made to open an institution at Silver
Lake to care for thei money of the
people in the western part of the
county. A promoter of banks from
Chicago has been at work in that part
OF the countysfor the past two or three
weeks and has been able to interest
number of the leading farmers of the
district. He has Sa1ready formed a
company, and it is stated that the new
bank will be opened at the village of
Silver Lake about the 1st of August.
Chicago, Kenosha and Silver Lake
capital will be interested in the bank,
and it is understood that it will bear
the name ''The Bank of Silver Lake"
1t will be private bank, but organ
lied in keeping with the.banking laws
of the state, and "a sufficient deposit
will be made with the state:treasurer
to insure the so1vency of the concern.
For many years money sfrom this
section of the county hasibeen taken
to Antioch, ILL.,, or to Burlington, and
some little of it has found,its way to
the different banks in 'Kenosha, but it
is understood that the new bank will
have such local backing as to secure
the confidence sof the people of the
neighborhood.
The last bank that wasiesta b1ished
in the county was the one opened by
F. S. Komp at Salem. It suspended
business after a career of little over
month, having been forced to the
wall by the failure of the iKenosha
State bank
