SAVED THE SHIP.
That the Battleship Missouri, With
600 Men, Was Not Lost, Due
to Gunner's Mate.

That the newest battle ship OF the
navy, the Missouri. had a narrow es-
cape from both being blown to pieces
BY the explosion OF a magazine and
and also being beached near Pensaco-
la. Fla. on Thursday, came to light.
Capt. William S. Cowles prevented
the latter when the vessel was within
$50 yards oi the beach by giving Or
ders that the ships course be changed.
Chief Gunner'S Mate Monson saved
the ship and lives OF over 600 men by
jumping into the open magazine and
closing the door behind. It is stated,
though not by officers Of the Mis-
souri,, that when the officers heard the
explosion in the turret and saw the
fire tapping through the top. they re-
allied that the hot magazine would
next explode, and headed the ship
for the beach, intending to beach her
if possible before the explosion. Capt.
Cowles quickly stopped the plan and
put the ship back to sea. When the
first explosion occurred in the turret
the men in the handling room knew
in an instant what had occurred. The
big magazine door was open and
standing against it were four charges
of powder. Without a moments hes
itation Gunner's Mate Monson showed
these aside. jumped into the magazine
and closed the door after him. The
magazine was totally flooded with
water and when the men opened the
door they found Monson barely alive,
water having reached his neck.
The damage to the battle ship is
much greater than was at first
stated. In addition to the large
amount of ammunition ruined by the
magazine being flooded, which will
amount to thousands Of dollars, the
after-turret is also badly injured, the
top being burned away, and all the
brass work melted inside. The hoist
is charred mass, and the mechanism
of the guns completely ruined. The
estimated damage caused by the ex-
plosion will reach $4,000. The total
list of dead numbers thirty-two.

VEHICLE FOR WHISKEY.
An Old Wagon With Hollow Axles
Which held Four Gallons
Each

Topeka, Kan, Capital.
An entirely new scheme OF whiskey
peddling has just been discovered in
the Indian Territory and it seems to
have been going on for. months. The
officers OF the district northwest OF
Herbert have known for some time
that whiskey was being sold to var
ious parties. but not until yesterday
were the peddlers caught. They had
travelled around the country ii an
old wagon drawn by a poor span OF
Indian ponies, and were. presumably,
buying eggs and poultry. They would
sell small bottles OF liquor to farmers
and Indians through the neighbor-
hood. and ST a pint was the usual
price. The officers discovered that
both axles of the old wagon were OF
iron and very large. These axles were
hollow and would hold four gallons
each. The peddlers would remove a
small bolt and insert pump and
draw the desired amount of whiskey.
One OF the peddlers admits having
sold whiskey in this way for FIVE
months, and has made enough money
to buy a farm in Texas. He says he
will serve his time in Jail and then
buy farm.

Democratic Town.

In a certain town in the Lone
Star State for many years all the
voting had been for democrats.
Such u thing as republican was
unknown. About this time, how
ever the politicians of an adjacent
township thought it good time
to start a republican organization
and finally persuaded a Mr..
Brown, who had recently settled
there, to become their candidate
for some minor office. On cleo
ton day Mr. Brown was too i'll to
go to the polls. In due time the
votes were published and Mr..
Brown had just one vote. Cha
grined at this and annoyed by the
accusation that he had voted for
himself, he offered to give n suit
of clothing to the person who had
voted for him. The next day a
stupid looking Hollander called
upon Mr.. Brown and remarked /:
II want dat suit of cloes."
"Ah !" said Mr.. Brown, "then
you are the man who voted for
me?"
yah, I'm dat man"
"Are you willing to make an
affidavit to it?"
Yah, swear to it."
After the clothing was given,
Mr.. Brown was so delighted, re-
lieved and gad to know that there
was another righteous republican
in the township that he said:
Now my friend, you have your
suit of clothes, tell me how you
came to vote for me?"

Chrysanthemum Culture.

The chrvanthemum, Justly call
ed the Queen of Autumn is of
JAPANESE and Chinese origin, and
is by far the most gorgeous and
elegant when towering, of all The
fall and winter blooming plants.
The chrvsauthemum is of easy
culture. but to secure fine blooms
and strong plants, with healthy
foliage, certain rules must not be
lost sight Of and care and atten-
ton must be given while the
plants are growing.
TO grow chrysanthemums for
large flowers, when it is not prac-
ticable to bed them out, the best
method is TO grow them in pots
all the time The size of the pot
in which to start the plant will
depend on the size of the plant.
Put them in rich soil composed of
two-thirds good soil, in which
there is some chopped sod, and
one-third old, black, we'll rotted
manure The soil for chrysanthe-
NUNS should not he sifted 30
much, as they like the soil rather
coarse. Always pot the plant
firmly. AS soon as the ball of
earth IN the pot begins to show
considerable roots in it. the plant
should be repotted. This will
have to be done every two or three
weeks. This must not be neg lect-
ed as it is absolutely essential
that they be potted often and
never allowed TO become pot.
bound. They should be watered
carefully and we'll, and as often
as the soil i'll the top of the pot
begins TO look dry. The grower
must decide how many stems he
wishes TO allow to remain When
one large flower is desired the
plant is allowed to grow just rs it
is, cutting off any side branches
or shoots which may come at
the bottom of the plant. When
the buds appear, remove all hue
the first bud, nipping out all tht
buds that appear after the first
one. As the plant grows 1T will
be necessary to restake it several
times in order to keep it straight
and from breaking. Most grow
ers prefer to have several flowers
of good size, rather than single
large one. When it branches let
several stems remain but allow
only one bud to each stem, re-
moving all Others as they appear
This is the method employed by
those who grow for cut flowers,
and the flowers will be quite large
and fine. Should the plant make
more than three stems, allow only
the straightest three to remain
and cut off all the rest. When
plants are grown III the ground
out of doors, water must be APP
piled only when they need it, but
they must never be allowed to
dry out so they will wilt, as ex-

When it is desired to take the
plants up and have them bloom
in the house or in pots, lift the
plants from the bed when the
buds are about the size of peas,
not later us the flowers will be in
jured if the buds are too far along.
Pot them in good rich, coarse,
loose soil, and see that they are
potted firmly. They should then
be set in the shade for about a
week. Do not neglect the water
