They are Deadly in Effects Upon the
White Man.

Henry W. Nervison, who is now in
the interior of Africa investigating the
slave trade for Harpers Magazine, tells
of a trip through a deadly swamp
country after leaving the coast:
Hearing that only a few miles away
there was real solid ground where
strange beasts roamed.' said Mr.. New
inson. Il determined to cut a path
through the forest in that direction.
Engaging two powerful saveages arm
ed with 'matchets' or short heavy
swords. I took the plunge from
wharf which had been built with piles
besides river. At the first step 1
was up to my knees in black sludge,
the smell of which had been accumu-
lating since the glacial period. Per
haps the swamps are forming the coal
beds of a remote future; but in that
case l am glad did not live in a New
castle in a remote past. As in a cOro-
nation ode there seemed no limits to
the depths of sinking. ones only
chance was to strike a submerged
trunk not yet quite rotten enough to
count as mud. Sometimes it was pos
sible to cling to the stems of branches
of standing trees, and swing over the
slime without sinking deep. 1t was
possible, but unpleasant, for stems and
branches and twigs and fbers were
generally covered with every variety
of spine and spike and hook.
In a quarter of an hour we were
as much cut off from the world as on
the central oceon. The air was dark
with shadow, though the tree tops
cleaned with sunshine far above our
| heads. Not a whisper of breeze or d
breath of fresh air could reach us. We
were stified with the smell. The
sweat poured from us in the intolera-
Bile heat Around us, out of the black
| mire, rose the vast tree trunks, al
ready rotting as they grew, and be
tween the trunks was woven a thick
curtain of spiky plants and of the
long suckers by which the trees drew
up an extra supply of water-very I'M
necessarily. one would have thought.
Through this underground the ma
tives. themselves often to the middle
lin slime, slowly hacked a way. They
are always very patient of a white
mans insanity. Now and then we
came to a little clearing where some
big tree had fallen, rotten from bark
! to core. Or we came to a creek-One
of the innumerable little water courses
which intersect the forests and are the
favorite haunt of the mud fish, whose
ewes are prominent like a frogs and
| whose side fins have almost developed
into legs. so that. with the help of
their tails. they can run over the
slime like lizards in the sand. But for
L them and the crocOdiles and the innu-
L merable hosts of ants and slugs, the
| lower depths of the mangrove swamps
contain few living things. Parrots and
monkeys inhabit the upper world there
where the sunlight reaches, and some
times the deadly stiffness is broken
by the cry of a hawk, that has the
fight of an owl. and fishes the creeks
in the evening. Otherwise, there is
nothing but decay and stencil and
creatures of the ooZe."

SAN JUAN HILL.
AS 1t Appears Seven Years After the
Battle.

On July list. seven years ago, when
the American army came upon it out
of the jungle. the place wore "A partial
disguise. 1t still was an irregular
ridge of smiling, sunny hills, with fat.
comfortable curves, and in some places
a steep, straight front. But above the
steepest, highest front frowned an ag-
gressive block house, and on all the
slopes and along the skyline were rows
of yellow trenches, and at the base a
cruel cats cradle of barbed wire. 1t
was like the face of a pretty woman
behind the bars of a visor. 1 find that
on the day of the fight, seven years
ago. 1 cabIed my paper that San Juan
hill reminded the Americans of sun
ny orchard in. New England. That
was how it may have looked when the
regulars were climbing up the steep
front to capture the block house. and
when the cavalry and Rough Riders,
having taken Kettle Hill, were run
ming down its opposite slope, past the

alley, nobody trying to detain him, and
when he got near the street he broke
into a run. The office of the sheriff
was Immediately notified and a hunt
for him was begun. He was not at
his residence nor could he be found
anywhere else in town. 1t was learn
ed later that he had taken a horse and
buggy and was probably going to the
head of the Arizona canal.

Hampton, April IA base bail
league on small scale is the latest
thing among the amateur base ball
players of northern Iowa. The contem-
plated league VII consist of teams from
Iowa Falls, Ackley, Eldora, and Hamp-

to the list, If another town can be in
duced to join it. Geneva and Bristow
are both DESTROYS of getting in, and
both these places had good amateur
teams last season. Geneva, on &C
count of it's location, will stand the
best chance of being taken into the
proposed league.
The players in the teams of the new
league will be all amateur players and
no salaries will be played. 1t is thought
now that a schedule can easily be ar
ranged between these four or six places
as they are conveniently located. AT
Ackley a meeting has already been
called to consider the feasibility Of the
venture and Hampton fans are willing
to have team ready whenever the
league is formed.

has accommodated travelling liquor
drumrners, by driving them on their
trips thru the surrounding country.
was the victim of nefarious affair
Friday night. Some parties broke into
his stable during the night, took two
of his buggies and sets of harness and
wheeling them to the river, broke some
boards of the bridge and dumped all
into the Iowa river. When he arrived
at the stable yesterday morning and
found the buggies missing he tracked
them 10 the river by means Of the i'm
print of the wheels in the snow. The
buggie,s and harness were valued at
5000 and are badly damaged. The fact
that there has been an agitation
against liquor dealers in the city and
much unfavorable comment on the
liveryanan for hiring his buggies and
horses to liquor dealers is being COM
mented on today as probable cause
of the affair. The sheriff of the coun-
ty and his officers are investigating the

A rather singular circumstance &C.
CURED recently in Melrose. About
eighteen years ago Mrs. NJ. F. Riordan
lost her wedding ring in the yard at
their residence. and although dilgent
search was made at various times, the
handsome circlet could not be found.
In the meantime the premises had
been materially changed. The lot had
been filled in about three feet and all
thought of the ring had passed from the
mind of Mrs. Riordan. But, mark the
singular outcome. A few days ago
while 6. tree was being planted in the
yard, the ring was dug up and found,
much to the establishment of both
Mrs. Riordan and her husband, DIR.
Rordan. For eighteen long years it
had laid in the ground. and While bad
ly corroded and furnished and it's
beauty spoiled as an ornament, still it's
recovery is duly appreciated and will
be as valuable as ever as a keep
sake.

cess of oxygen-is deadly to vegetal
matter.
There lies the great value Of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs
is poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ disease. It Is this fact
that gives Liquozone its worth to hui
mainly. And that worth is so great
that we have spent over one million
dollars to supply the first bottle free to
each sick one we learned Of.
