.UNEAslNEss IS DISTILLED.
MT. and Mrs. James A. Lewis Return
 to Columbus With Children.

Columbus, Ga, July 13-(Special.) J. The fear that prominent citizen of Columbus, together with his wife and a party of children, had been drowned or had met wl,n accident or misfor- tune was dissipated by the return to the city this morning of MT. and Mrs. James A. Lewis ana family, two chill dren of MT. and Mrs. P. E. Griffith and children of MT. and Mrs. J. w. Boyd.
 Yesterday this party went down to Massey's lake, southeast of the city, to spend the day fishing, making the trip in two buggies and wagon. They had not returned up to II o'clock last night, and, becoming uneasy over their absence, Messrs. Griffith and Boyd went to the lake searching for them. To their surprise, they could find no signs of the party. It had rained heav- fly in the afternoon, and thinking that they might have stopped for the night, they went to the houses of a good many planters in that neighborhood, but no signs of the party could they find. It developed today that MT. and Mrs. Lewis and the children were over taken by rain storm few miles out from the city and took refuge in a negro house nearby. The weather was so indictment that they spent the night there.

HleHRALL IS DEAD.
Racer Is chIoroformed and Shot, Since
 Recovery Was Impossible.

New York, July 15.-Highball is no more. The great son of Benstrome- Strychnine, winner of the American derby and one of the best 3-year-olds the turf has ever known, was put to death in the presence of one of his owners, Bud May, and a small crowd of stable boys and track attaches. Highball started yesterday in the Sea gate stakes at Brighton Beach, but he never finished. As the field in the event was rounding into the stretch Highball stumbled and broke the pas tern joint of his near foreleg.
 The leg dangled in the dust as Odom, the Georgia jockey, pulled up the colt just below the grandstand. The g. year-old was given quick attention His leg was bandaged up and he was almost carried from the track by the throng of stable boys and those with in the enclosure. Bud May, who has been Highball's traincr, would not con sent to have the horse shot at first, but nearing midnight, when it became evident that the lifo of the game youngster could not be saved, the con sent was given. Highball was chloro- formed and a bullet ended his suffer- ing. It was found that his fore leg was broken in two places.

Chou to Ia Tehe Kiao. Japanese outposts were observed July Il between Mad IAn- kau and Sangaisha, and slSirminshing oe- cured July Il between the advance guards near the village Of Si Siam, Tsia- The Japanese retreated when the Rus sians were reinforced

WIRELESS TELEeRAPHY
Said to Cause Constant Rain Where
 Stations Are Erected.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
 Meteorology has more to answer for in the way of fanciful theories than all the other sciences put together The latest whim is that wireless telegraphy produces rain. Recently a wireless station has been completed at Fraser burg, in Scotland, and a local report declares that since the erection of the shaft hardly day passed without a heavy rainfall, particularly during the hours of experimenting, and the in habitants of the district have come to regard the presence of the station with suspicion" Nor are they alone, for the residents of Poldhu, in Cornwall, have complained of excessive rain since the erection of the Marconi tele- graphic mast there, and representa- tions are to be made to have the shaft removed.
 But for an etheric wave to produce any effect on extremely delicate piece of apparatus known as the CO., herer must be present, and it is highly ooubtful whether the minuate vesicles of vapor in the clouds are just so syn tonized as to resemble the coherer and be thrown into vibrations and made to coalesce into rain by the wireless waves.
 MT. Marconi laughs at the idea. "If ? he says, "any one can prove that I am spelling the English weather I shall have great pleasure in dropping my work in this country and sending my instruments to Australia or Egypt where rain is very much wanted"

 Hilliard spoke to the negro about some work that was to be done in the mill. The negro did not respond at once, and Hil- Hard repeated his order.

BURGLAR MusEs.
All Is Not Clear Profit in His 6usi-
 ness.

From the New York Sun.
 ..Its a common idea, I know" said the retired burglar. that the burglary pusi- ness must be tremendously profitable be- cause whatever you make in 1t Is all clear gain: but there couldn't be great CT mistake.
 "It ain't the percentage of profit that counts so much, my son; it's the volume of business you do You might have rrs'uess thas was all profit and yet lose money at it. Let me illustrate;
 anew a man once that was dead stuck on the drug store business. He wasn't drug man himself, but he had the. same idea about the drug business that many people have about the liquor business-that you can't fail to make money in it. He said to himself:
 Why, here there's 30 per cent profit on drugs: it's booty much all profit. You pay 10 cents pound for stuff and sell it for 90 cents an ounce; and if l can, gather in two or three small drug stores why, I've got easy money.
 And he did buy one drug store, and he got his ninety per cent profit all right; but he only sold about two dollars and ra'ss worth day; and the total receipts wasn't enough to pay the store rent to

 percetage of profit in any business, you see, my son. to make a business pay. As was saying a minute ago, business may be all profit and yet not be profi- table; and that's the way it is in the bur glary business.
 'Al is not gold that glitters I've been into houses that looked most promising and found them only plated; and I've been in plenty of houses where they had the stuff mi away in such shape that 1 could not get at 1t; and then I've been into plenty of houses where what l got really wouldn't pay my expenses Tor the day. And consider the days or the nights rather, when you can't do any business at all; bright moonlight nights, for in stance. when you can't go abroad. Some | men on such nights do go to places where | the buildings are close together and where | they cans keep in the shadow, and so | keep busN but there's more men that | lose by the moon a certain number of | nights every month, when their expenses
