KILLS SELF WITH GAS.
Man, Supposed to Be from Whitewater,
Wis, Commits Suicide in a
Racine Hotel.

RACINE, Wis, Dec. S.-[Special.]-
A man supposed to be B. w. Smith of
Whitewater, Wis, was found in dy-
ing condition in room at the Hotel
Belvedere at 6 o'clock this morning. One
of the gas jets was found open and the
room was filled with gas. Death oc-
Cured a short time after the discovery.
The man arrived here late yesterday
afternoon, paid for his lodging and went
to his room at s o'clock, not taking sup
per. From the fact that he had but 3
cents in his possession it is believed
that he inhaled the gas with suicidal in
tent.
The chief of police at Whitewater was
communicated with this morning and
said there are two men of that name
from that city. One was a Methodist
minister and the other a half-breed In
dian, who was last heard of in Virginia.
The latter is believed to be the man who
died here, as he answers the description

STOLE A BIG BIBLE.
Oconto Man Is Alleged to Have Entered
Lutheran Church and Purloined
Book of God.

OCONTO, Wis, Dec. 8.-[Special. i
The most unique theft ever committed
in the state of Wisconsin appears to
have been discovered at Oconto. On the
person of Edward O'Neil, recently re-
leased from the county jail for burg larry,
was found a large Bible and SOME cheap
lace from the altar of the Lutheran
church here, and it is alleged that he
purloined them from the church while
on his way to the depot to get out of
town.
Discovery of the objects upon his per-
son came about through his re-arrest on
a charge of breaking into a lumber mill
and stealing copper valves, a steam
gauge and other fxings. The hearing
of this case has been put, over until De-
cember 10 and bail fixed at $500.
After his trial on that charge it is
likely that he will be again arrested for
stealing the Bible.

SCHOOL GIRLS FIGHT.
Waukesha Students Indulge in Fierce Fis-

THE SHIPS THAT SINK.
What Becomes of Those That Go to the
Bottom of the Sea.

! What becomes of the ship that sinks
in midocean? If it is of wood it takes.
in the first place, considerable time for
1t to reach the bottom. In hundred or
more fathOms of water a quarter of an
hour will elapse before the ship reaches
bottom. 1t sinks slowly, and when the
bottom is reached it falls gently into the
soft, oozy bed, with no crash or break
ing.
t OF course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or if it is
an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some
times strikes the bottom with such force
as to smash in pieces. Once sunken a
ship becomes the prey of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home. Be
sides this, they cover every inch Of the
boat with a thick layer of lime. This
takes time, of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work. until finally the ship IS so laden
with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges
and barnacles that, if wood, the creak-
ing timbers fall apart and slowly but
surely are absorbed in the waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
last for centuries. The only metals that
withstand the chemical action of the
waves are gold and platinum, and glass
also seems unaffected. No matter how
long gold may be hidden in the ocean,
1t will always be gold when recovered,
and this fact explains the many roman
tic and adventurous searches after hid
den submarine treasures lost in ship
wrecks.-BaltimOre Sun.

ATTRACTIONS OF WEsTspv
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Return n, =,
Ynar 1nAG

Magnificent Crop Return for 81
Year 1905.
The manner in which the Canada,
West has attracted settlers in nsn
years has caused many of our hn
nails and public men to sit Up and hA
notice, to use a current phrase. Pnn
every European country and from d
most every State in the Union am
numbers Of settlers have flocked to IN /
prairie provinces of Canada, wh.
free homesteads and wide opportmi
ties are open to all who desire to avail
themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting 81 !
tiers lies in the inherent richness d
soil and suitability of climate for Din
ducing what is universally cOnsiden
to be the finest wheat in the world F
the 'tNo. l bard of Canadian growth I
and other cereals that rank in the ven
first class. This year the harvest n
turns were: Wheat, 100000 bush
els; oats, 100000 bushels; barh,
100000 bushels; and when It Is con
sfdered that the entire population
the three proyinces-as evidenced By
the quiquennial census just complete
is only $4,000, it is easily seen That
the lure Of the Canadian West is in ID
agricultural potentialities.
Another feature which attracts The
settler is that railway construction i
proceeding with such rapidly that al
most every district is within easy read
of outside markets, and that good
prices for all lines of farm prOdutI
rule practically from the commens
ment of agricultural operations, IM
is a factor which did not prevail when
the earlier settlements in the West
we're made in Canada and in the Unit
ed States, and has given great lH
petus to Canadian Western settlement
in recent years.
The free grant system of homesteaa|
which prevails in the prairie provinces
by which every settler who is able M
willing to comply with the condl'OA
of actual settlement (by no means Cd
erous) is given 160 acres free ezePN
SO for entry, is great drawing caN
and in the last fiscal year gathered U
over $4,000 additional to the Ne'
ern population, Of which o'''SO S''
from the United States.
The further fact as IS Suon@
brought out by the agent OF tne 0au'
dian Government, whose address "
pears elsewhere, that a splendid COD
mon school system, practically free pF
walls throughout the entire couHu
and is easy of access in even tne n'
remote districts, is another great
ducement to the settler who nas ~
future welfare of his family III mlu'
and this, coupled with the 1ac' 1-
Western Canadian law and orueF a.
proverbial, completes a circle o. w.
and sufficient reasons why the Iu'
immigration has set in 50 steauh'
ward the country to the north Ol W
