The Ice Gives Up It's Dead.
ON the London Pail Mall Gazette.

FROM the London Pail Mall Gazette.
The recovery of guides body after
twenty eight years entombment In a gla-
cier OF Monte Rosa is the third restoration
of the kind, If we are not mistaken, In AL
pine history In 1877 his tourists saw him
disappear in the crevasse, and the body
could not then be recovered. But during
the interval the slow movement of the
glacier has been continually bringing 1t
down. until 1t has been disgorged at last
his Ice ak still in the dead mans hand. his
pipe in his pocket The two previous In
stances, as will be recalled. occurred at the
Glacier des Blossoms beneath Mount Blanc.
where the remains of the victims of the
Hamel catastrophe in 1870 appeared after
forty-one years, and those of Capt. Ark
wright Cost in 1866 after thirty-one. Per-
haps this third case may strengthen the
hope that, some have been predicting,
the body of Lord Francis Douglas. lost in
the historic first ascent of the Matterhorn,
may be given up near Zermatt this sum-
mer. But the probabilities are altogether
against 1t. In the opinion of the vast ma
jority of experts, Lord Francis fell upon
some inaccessible ledge or into some cleft
the mountains side and will remain
there to all time.

FOUR KILLED IN EXPLOSION.
Seven Others Injured, Some Fatally, in
Virginia

Four men were killed outright and seven
others were so seriously injured that some
of them will die by the explosion of a
threshing machine engine on the plantation
of Rush Eanes, near Axton. Henry county
Va, yesterday afternoon. The dead are
C. L. Burlington, Walter Martin, Luther
Hiler and John Stokes.
The accident occurred far in the country
away from Geographic and telephone COM
munication. The meager account which
was received was brought to Axton by
one of the men who escaped the ex-
plosion, but who excited that he
was unable to give a connected story of the
affair
The news came to Danville by telephone
from Axton the operator leaving imme-
diately for the latter place, thus cutting
off further communication.

Breaking Up the Ranch.

AS have already told you, Mrs. Lea was
a pioneer in introducing agriculture into
this part of Texas. She began to break up
her ranch about two years ago. Other own
ers of large tracts are now following her
example She has already sold 10000 acres
of her $1,000 acres at an average price of
$3.50 an acre, to III different families, and
they are all settled on their lands in con-
tentment and prosperity. IL is dry farm
ing but has been as successful as any
where else in Texas. There is plenty of
water In the Concho river, which she pro-
poses to utilize in irrigating a tract of
1900 acres which she will cut up into ten
acre farms because it Is possible to raise
as much by irrigation upon such tract as
upon dry farm of 100 acres. With irri-
CATION there is never any failure of crops.
Mrs. Lea has aspirations, too. She wants
II build up an ideal community of home
owners, and hence refuses to lease her
lards. She will not allow them to be occu-
pied except by farmers who are willing to
enter into contracts to buy the land with
the profits of their labor Whenever
renter" comes along she generally con-
vinces him that 1t is better TO buy on any
terms than to rent. and she will make
terms TO suit his circumstances. Her peo-

thing.
