Ada, Mimi, Oct. 7.-Pessimists who
believe that the world is given over to
commercialism and that no one does
good without some mercenary motive,
and romantic retreat known as Heiberg
park. The park is on the summit of a
hill which rises almost perpendicularly
seventyfve feet from the bed of the
Wild Rice river. 1t comprises about
twenty acres, which were originally
covered with a dense forest. The thriv-
ing little town of Twin Valley is with
in easy walking distance.
J. F. Heiberg owns the park and a
few years ago conceived the idea of
setting apart this delightful bit of ma
lures handiwork for the benefit and
enjoyment of his fellowmen. He built
the brow of the hill overlooking the riv-
er, commanding a view of the pictur-
esque valley below and the forest-clad
hills which rise to the eastward.
Mr.. Heiberg decided that a rustic
bandstand was necessary for gala days,
also an auditorium and kitchen, and
soon had them ready for use.
The river winds about the park and
| with Masauge creek On the north forms
a peninsula. This tributary of the Wild
Rice was nameless until few years
ago, when Mr.. Mason, editor of the
| Twin Valley Times. and his friend, Mr..
Hauge. combined their names and chris
tened the stream Masauge creek.
Every one is welcome to the park
who heeds the injunction that no in
toxicating liquors be carried on the
premises. Tt is almost needless to say
that this is a popular resort and thai
people come many miles to enjoy a
! few quiet hours near to natures heart

RIOT AT SYNAGOGUE.
A Wild Scramble to See the Dedication
 Services.

St. Louis, July 16.--A crowd of over 2,000 persons fought with the police today in a wild scramble to gain ad- mittance to the dedication services of the new synagogue of the Congrega- ton Sharis Sphard. A number were clubbed but none seriously hurt; hats were crushed, women's dresses torn and several women tainted.
 After the parade from the old syna- gosue to the new. the edifice was quickly filled to its greatest capacity and of necessity the doors were closed on a horde that filled Wash street for a block The outsiders immediately began trying to force the doors open and cordon of police was summoned. For an hour the police endeavored to keep the crowd back, but number of persons grew belligerant and police clubs were brought into play. In the confusion B. Frank. one of the direc- tors of the congregation. who was sta tioned at a door. was dragged into the street and roughly handled. Finally the police got the upper hand and the street was partially cleared and order restored The services last four hours.
 In his dedication prayer, and bless ing Kantor B. Lieberman referred to the late Secretary of State Hay and eulogized his service in behalf of the Jewish race.

Tokio, July 16.-Admiral Yamagata. commanding a squadron sent north on a reconnaissance. reports that the Rus sian cruiser Izumrud is a complete wreck and that there Is no hope of re- floating her. The vessel lies beached, heading west southwest on the north ern port to the southern entrance to Vladimir bay, about 100 miles north east of Vladivostok.
 A report by Captain Baron Fersen. of the Izumrud. said that during the battle of the sea of Japan the Izumrud was cut off from the remainder of the fleet and steamed at full speed for Vladivostok with Japanese cruisers in pursuit Subsequently he changed his course and made for Vladimir bay, ar- irving thereon the night of May 29. At 1:3O o'clock in the morning of May 80 the Izumrud ran on reef at the entrance of the bay and being short of coal the captain ordered the crew ashore and blew up the vessel.
 Captain Bougouin, a prominent French resident of Tokio and formerly attached to the French legation there, together with his stepson. F. Strange, who is an Englishman. and Maxi, a Japanese clerk, who acted as Bougou- in's assistant, were arrested in May charged with being spies for Russia.

REMOVING DEAD BODIES.
Taking Victims of Sunlken Submaril
 from Grave In Boat.


 Bizerta, Tunis, July 16.-The mourn full task of removing the bodies of the crew of the submarine boat Farfadet, which sank at the entrance of the Port of Sidi Abda1lah. July 6. and which was lowed into dry dock yesterday af- ter incessant efforts to raise her. Is proceeding slowly. Owing to the dis placement of the machinery through the action of the waters. some of the bodies became firmly fixed beneath the engines and other apparatus and the men engaged in the work were com pelled to attach ropes to the bodies in order to disengase them.
 It is now apparent that four Of the men who occupied the forward com partment were drowned immediately after the accident occurred. Lieuten- ant Robin was found lying on his back with his arms extended. Nearby was the quartermaster. whose jacket caught in a hook close to the faulty hatch which caused the catastrophe, evidently while trying to escape. Eight men in the after compartment were those who responded to the divers rappings during the thirty-two hours after the sinking of the submarine.
 From the condition of the interior of the vessel 1t was seen that they strug- gIed hard against their fate and en- deavored to stop the leaking hatch with their Jackets. The water. how ever. gained while the air supply di- minished Only four bodies have as yet been recovered and these are al- most unrecognizable.

 at Memphis.

Memphis, July 1.-Two drownings. both of a singular nature. occurred here today, the victims being August Fust, young machinist employed here, and James R. Postal, aged 21. son of Captain Ed Postal. a well known steamboat man.
 Fust met death in a local natatorium and the fact that his body lay beneath the artificial pool was not known for more than an hour after the drowning occurred. Accompanied by & friend, he entered the water and although surrounded by bathers he. sank unpo- tfced and it was not until the nata- torium had bean closed that his ab- sence was discovered. His unclaimed clothes led to the recovery of the body. Fust came here recently from Louis vile, Ky, where his father, August Fust. resides and to whom the remains will be shipped.
 While diving to avoid a missile play fully tossed at him by a companion. Jame R. Postal struck his head against a sandbar and his neck was broken by the impact.

 r Chicago. July 16.--The express driv- CTS formerly employed by the seven railway express companies. will remain on strike for the present at least. This was decided upon today by the mem- bers of the express drivers union when a referendum vote was taken on the proposition o6 calling off the strike.
 A serious riot was narrowly averted tonight between a number of union ana non-union teamsters. Nearly a hun dred of the non- union teamsters who have taken the places of the strikers nave been living in the vicinity of union headcuarters, and tonight when the union men were leaving bricklayers' hall they encountered some of the non- union drivers and a fight followed im- mediately. The non-unionists were getting the worst of 1t, but reinforce ments were sent for to their headquar- ters nearby and a general fight was soon in progress.
 Clubs and bricks were being used in- discriminatory and several shots were fired but the police arrived in time to prevent bloodshed Several arrests were made before the riot was quelled.
 Later |, the day another disturbance was furnished by the delegates to meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor Dissatisfaction over the man. ner in which election of officers of the Federation was being carried on brought about the trouble. During the disturbance revolvers were brought into play and tine ballot boxes were destroyed. Michael Donneley.

She was attacked on the upper side of the road near Little Bush and after being re- peatedly asaulted. she was dragged by her hair down the incline and down an embankment of three feet into the road, across the road over rocks and stumps on the lower side of the road and into a clump of bushes, where she was left. Her shoes and stockings were found near by and her false teeth on the road. peculiar thing was the finding of four leaves from the bush where she was attacked crossed and pinned together and stuck in the ground about the spot where she was assaulted.
 Was En Route Home.
 Mrs. Smith was a widow and lived with 'her two sons near Hammond Mines. Saturday night Mrs. Smith was seen at a show in town. Leaving the show, she hunted for her boys. who were said to be drinking. She was last seen alive near the old Coosa fur mace on the banks of the Coosa, where she went to a small pleasure boat and asked the watchman If he had seen her boys. Not finding them. she started home and evidently took a path which was a nearer way. and as she was emerging from the path into the road she was attacked by the men.
 The ground around where she was murdered showed that she had made | desperate fight for her life. She was a large woman and would weigh easily 22S pounds. A pair of scissors and a case knife were found near by. which she evidently used to defend herself. The little finger on her left hand was cut and there were bruises on her back and body. apparently made by being dragged. Her neck was broken and this was no doubt caused by being dragged by the hair, her weight caus- ing the neck to snap It is believed by some that she was assaulted after be- ing killed.
 Vance Garner. the negro who found the body, was the first one to be ar rested and it Is believed by some that he is one of the guilty persons. as he tells conflicting stories. He states that he heard cries of Murder" and Help" about midnight and that he went to the aid of the woman and found her down with a negro man over her trying to stun a towel in her mouth to stop Ter cries, and that when he called to the man to stop he was told to go about his own business. .s
 The ofncers are confident that they have the guilty ones. ...:~.. ~
