SEARCHING FOR BODY.
Efforts to Recover Remains of Naval
Battalion Member.

It was stated this afternoon that no mes
sage had been received from the lower Po-
tomac in reference to the search for the
body of Melvin L. Cleveland, who lost his
life week ago by falling overheard from

ships of the Naval Battalion. National
Guard of the District Of Columbia. The

and Cen Harries. commanding the District
of Columbia militia. it is stated, has done
everything in his power to recover the body.
Not only did he leave Quartermaster Sheetz
at Colton's to look after the work of search
ing for the body, but he directed Harry
Love, manager of the hotel there, to inter-
est oystermen and others in the search and
to offer reward for the recovery of the
body.
Mr.. William G. Cleveland. father of the
boy, called upon the police and Gen. Har-
ries Sunday and asked that additional eff
forts me made to recover the body. Maj.
Sylvester directed that member of the har-
Dor precinct accompany Mr.. Cleveland to
Coiton's and render what assistance he
could
Gen. Harries was then appealed to by Mr..
Cleveland and he readily adopted every
suggestion that was made by the latter:
He realized that the father and mother of
the boy had suffered great mental agony
during the past week. and he was willing
to do anything in his power to relieve their
distress. During his conversation with Mr..
Cleveland Gen. Harries told of the arrange
ments he had made for offering a reward
for the recovery Of the body. and of how he
had enlisted the services of a small army
of oystermen in the search. After a full
discussion Gen. Harries gave orders to have
the Oneida take Sergt. Russell A. Dean and
the father of the boy to Colton's. and they
left here last night.

experience in such matters. says he thinks

Dawson was walking beside the wagon.
They had gone but a short distance
when the team hitched to the wagon
started to run. The dead man put
his feet against the wood upright that
is In front Of the wagon, and evidently
1t was too weak to stand the strain, for
1t broke throwing him to the ground,
where he was crushed to death by the
wheels of the loaded vehicle.

tory and other institutions at Macon,

The hotel attaches who made the
discovery at first arrived at the con-
clusion that Col. Bless had taken his
life but the police authorities failed TO
find any evidence OF poison and there
were no signs of violence on the body.
The st. Louis newspapers declare that
II Col. Bless committed suicide he
used some powerful drug the charact-
er of which they have not been able to
determine.
Last week a suit was filed against
Col. Blees by his relatives to make him
account for $3.50, 10000 of the fortune
which was left the Blees family by a
relative In Germany.
Col. Bless stated that there was abb
solutely no foundation for the suit and
progressed not to be alarmed. The mo
ment the suit was filed he took the
first train for ST. Louis. ID has been
rumored for some months that Col.
Blees was financially embarrassed his
business ventures in Macon not hav-
ing proven successful and nearly
every one In Macon on hearing of his
death last night thought he had TAX

and Father 0bjects-Local
Authorities Settle Matter.

Constable Fox in few minutes
fast work, Monday afternoon, brought
JOY to a small boy who had traded the
family mag" to some transient horse
traders without his fathers con-
sent. The deal was pulled off near
Centralia and the lad had to trace the
traders to this city.
The boy is the sixteen year old son

to the traders who were camped near
his home, and after some talk let them
have his horse for an inferior one Of
theirs Upon returning home and
exhibiting his newly acquired steed
the father ard mother decided that
the deal was a poor one, and told the
boy he had to trade back, but when be
returned to find the men who had his
horse, he only discovered the smould-
ering remains of a fire and some straw
scattered where the wagon had stood.
His parents told him he would have
to go after them, so taking a buggy
and leading the cause Of all the trou-
Bile, he followed by inquiring and
reached this city about four O'Clock
Monday afternoon. Constable Fox
was seen and with his usual dispatch
went In search Of the men and found
they were camped near the fair
grounds. After a short talk and ex-
planning the boy was a minor the horse
was given back and the lad started
home with a light heart.

HOG NOTES.
Colman's Rural World.

Colman's Rural World.
Feed brood sows but little corn.
Good slop is best for sucking sows.
Sour swill should never be fed at
any time.
Nothing is more detrimental to a
litter Of young pigs than a damp nest.
There is no surer step in overstOck-
ing than a struggling narrowing sea-
son.
With plenty of milk as a starter,
young pigs will take to slop made of
mill feed.
There is little danger In having the
SOW fat II the food used to produce fat
is the proper kind.
As soon as the little pigs begin to
eat, they are then practically sup
ported and demand less of the mother
AS far as can be done, the sows
should be bred to farrow their pigs
not later than the latter part of
September.
There is no question but that the
proper feeding and care Of the hogs
has much to do with warding OIL
disease.
The SOW can never reach the point
as q mother she would have attained
II not bred until she was more fully
developed.
Usually 1t will be found to be o good
plan to have a bucket of slop ready to
give a SOW as soon as she is done far
rowing.
If the trough for the SOW is made
fiat and shallow, and the slop fed the
SOW is sweet and warm, the pigs will
begin to eat at three weeks old.
A most excellent slop can be made
Of four parts wheat bran and one part
linseed meal, mixed dry, and than
made into slop with sweet skim milk.
The habits and disposition Of
animals depend almost entirely upon
the care and treatment they receive
and more especially is this true of the
hogs.
There is no real necessity In a suck
ling SOW losing flesh. After all dan
ger is past, and the pigs are four
weeks old, feed her sufficient to keep
her in good flesh.
While the pig is a wonderful assimi-
lator Of the good, bad and Indifferent
foods that come In his way, he cannot
make good pork out Of everything he
will eat.

HANDSOME DECORATIONS.
Mexico Man Completes a Series Of In
terror Decorations That Out Glass
Anything in the City-Touch
and Coloring Perfect.

The interior decorations Of the new
Hoxsey Hotel will be a delightful ar
tistic surprise to the public when that
beautiful new hospice is opened this
week. Perfectly appointed In every
particular of convenience the whole Is
set In an establishment OF tints that is
a never ending pleasure to the eye,
the tout ensemble forming n OF the
gems Of the decorators art In this
state.
For years Mexico people have found
1t necessary to import painters when
they desired an especially fine piece Of
work done and never has a local ar
fist. been afforded an opportunity to
display bis genius at such a delicate
piece Of tinting. That the above men,
toned situation has become obsolete
is evident from the many encomiums
paid the Hoxsey's decorations by the
favored few who have enjoyed a preli-
minary peep at its many beauties.
From basement to garrett, every wall
is In perfect accord with its surround
ings and the ceiling also follows the
color schemes that are, SO skillfully
blended In making the whole harmon
lie.
Probably the part of the building
that is receiving the most attention
and is the artistic triumph of the
whole work, is the first fl DOR or COM
bined office, lunch room and dining
room. The walls are Of green a shade
most restful to the tired eyes of the
traveller, the ceiling, blocked by mas
sive beams OF oak, is frescoed with
narrow ribbons Of gold, bordered by
green with the center Of terre-cotta,
and the bows jewelled with colors re-
presenting, garnets, sapphires and 9TH
err precious stones. The ordinair also
follows this arrangement and lisa room
that suggests the utmost elegance. A
more CONSTANT and pleasing effect
would be hard to render and Mr.. Van
dergrift, who has the painting con-
tract and deserves the credit for the
work, is to be complimented upon his
success. There is nothing cheap or
gaudy about it and only that which
appeals to the refined has found lodg-
ment upon the buildings interior
walls. There are numerous public
buildings In this city that are In sore
need Of such treatment and we trust
before another year passes they may
also be beautlfied artiscally and not
besmeared as in the past.
