Timnath Pioneer Chilled to Death.

Denver, May ga Republican spe-
cial from Fort Collins last night says:
But one fatality has resulted from yes
terday's flood so far as heard from.
However, telephone lines are down in
every direction and bridges are washed
out, so that it is impossible to get
word from outside districts. G. X.
Strauss died this morning at the farm
home near Timnath from the effects
OF a chill and exposure.
Mr.. Strauss was seventy-SiX years old
and quite feeble. He had lived in the
house in which he died since 1860. He
was a bachelor and employed man
and wife to keep his house and do the
work on the farm. When the river be-
gan rising Friday evening the hired
man and his wife became alarmed, as
the house stands close to the river
bank and left. They tried to persuade
Mr.. Strauss to go with them, but he de-
clined, saying:
Il have lived on this farm forty
four years and have seen many floods.
and am not afraid of water
Later in the evening the water rose
higher and flooded his house and he
then began to think it was time to get
out He waded to the stable and sad
died horse with the evident intention
of riding to the bluff lands. The sad
died horse was found this morning
with the bride hanging to the saddle
pommel and it is supposed the animal
got away from its master.
Mr. Strauss was found at day light
rlinging to a barbed wire fence, up to
his armpits in water, and barely alive.
He was carried to the house and every
effort made to restore him, but with
out avail He died twenty minutes
later. He was in the water all night

Il became apparent that some OF th r.

not be deposited unless they were pur-
chased for cash by the organization

willing to do and the amended pla-

A special report from the epscopacy
committee. recommending the follow
ing places as the episcopal residence
for the sixteen bishops was taken up
this afternoon: New York, Boston,
Philadelphia. Nashville, Buffalo, Gin
Cirnati, Chattanooga, st. Louis. Chica-
go. Minneapolis. Denver. Portland, San
Francisco, Zurich. Buenos Ayres and
Shanghai.
There was a warm and prolonged de-
bate against the fixing of Philadelphia
as the place of residence OF member
Of the episcopal board as was also the
case in regard to Cincinnati. There was
a strong effort made to substitute Fort
Worth for Philadelphia, and when this
failed the champions of the Texas city
sought to nave it substituted in place
of Buenos Ayres. Both failed, however,
and in the end the report of the epis-
copacy committee was adopted without
change.

THE FARM AND RANGE
To Cure Mango.

The cartlomea OF Yuma county. Colo
rad1. met at Yuma May =lst and spent
practically the whole dag discussing
the mango parasite AMI the regulations
made By the state and federal govern
ment for stamping out the infection.
The principal conclusion Of the meet
Ing was that the federal reguIatIon3.
under the circumstances. are too Sc.
we're and will cause the cattle shippers
much loss next faI! when shipping time
comes. The conclusion was also
reacAe that neither the state nor
federal government is as well posted

Infection viii not come until some eN-
per.ueurs have been made.

auspices Uf the Star" Cattle Growers
Association and the Yuma county cat

Professor Carlyle presided over the
meeting and. while the experts pres
C1t led the discussion il was partiCi,
pateI in by a large number of cattle
men present.
In order to get right at the heart Of
the matter. COW infected with the
disease was rOped and brought into
town. Professor Gillette secured a
number Of the mites from this animal
and they were exhibited 70 all the cat
tIemen through q microscope while the
professor related the life history OF
the troublesome little insect. The mite
can barely be seen by the naked eye
but under the microscope it could
easily be studied.
The meeting adopted strong resol :
tons calling the attention Of the h,.-
reau OF animal industry to the fact
that as Yet there have been company
lively few experiments with this dis
case in cattle on the western ranges
and, while the cattlemen admit that It
can be cured by dipping. they find it
almost impossible to prevent reinfec-
ton after the animals are cleaned.
They ask that the bureau undertake
some practical experimental work.
and that next fall the regulations be,
modified so as to permit exposed cat
tie 10 be dipped at the market.
BY direction OF Professor Carlyle.
Professor Gillette. who is an authori-
" in regard to the mango mite in
sheep. took number of the mites
back to Fort Collins with him. He will
infect a couple Of cattle of the college
herd, which will be isolated, and he
and DR.. Glover will Immediately begin
some practical experiments to deter

remain alive eff the animal under or

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
Great Railroader Thinks It Will Re-
quire Big Bonus.

New York, May 25.-James ]. Hill,
president of the Northern Securities
Company and of the Great Northern
railway, appeared yesterday as wit
ness before the merchant marine COM
mission, the joint congressional COM
mission which is investigating the
causes of the decline of American ship
ping in order to suggest measures for
remedial legislation.
The first thing necessary said Mr..
Hill, is to create desire in the peo-
pie of this country to own ships. 1t is
a purely commercial question. If there
is profit in it people will engage in
il: if a loss, it is a question how long
people will stick. Our condition on the
high seas as a nation seems hard to
meet On land in spite OF high prices
of labor the United States has been
able to work out a system without an
equal.
Why we are not able to do this on
the high seas is not clear to me. and
as far as | have investigated it | be
lieve that no amount of direct bonuses
will build it into life worth living.
What the country wants is mar
ket. Outside of our agricultural prod
ucts. cotton, grain. Oil. there are very
few things we can export, because cost
of production is so high. We cannot
sell them. If We could carry those
products in our own bottoms it would
be source of great profit.
They can build ships in England
much cheaper than here. Citizens OF
other countries have owned ships for
the last forty years to a greater extent
than we.
Il have had experience in building
two ships-the largest freight carriers
in the world-and | don't want any
more.
Il would rather undertake to build
1000 miles of railroad than TWO ships.
Ii has taken four years instead OF
two
You seem to be very pessimistic
over the outlook" said Senator Gal
linger.
That is because | have looked at it
from a purely business standpoint. |
built those two ships simply asa resu-
lator, to try the experiment.
There are only two courses open
either an export bounty or government
assistance which would rise into very
large figures"
How much do you think would be
required for subsidy" asked Senator
Mallory.
oh $1o.O00000 or $l5,000.00O would
set lot of tonnage. You might take
it out of the river and harbor bill. But,
| tell you. the great big navigation is
going to be on steel rails

cruisers are superior in speed to those
of the mikado, they may escape in safe
