WHITE SERVANT PROBLEM.
Commissioner Watson's Efforts Haze
Not Been Successful SO Far. But He
is Working on Another Plan Now.


is Working on Another Plan Now.
Columbia, March 19.--Mr. P. Jur-
gensen of the North German Lloyds,
who was here today on trip through
the South appointing local agents for
his steamship company expressed the
opinion to this correspondent that the
solution Of both the immigration and
the servant problem in the South lies
in giving the proper encouragement to
good class of immigrants to come in
to the cities and towns and work as
servants.
He denied that the experiments
tried at several points in North Caro-
lima and at the winter resorts in South
Carolina had proved failures, and said
that his long experience in dealing
with immigrants to the Northwest had
demonstrated the necessity Of this
way OF handling the newcomers, and
he accounted for the fact that the
work of bringing immigrants into the
South was meeting with slow and otlD
erwise poor success by pointing to the
way the immigrants are handled after
they get here: He said that the immi-
grants had no objection to working
in the same community where negroes
are employed as servants.
After Mr.. Jergensen had seen I'm
migration Commissioner Watson,
however, he changed his view in many
respects. Mr.. Watson went over the
situation win him carefully and show
ed him that the only way to bring i'm
migrants into the South so they will
stay is by the colonization plan, in
! stancing a number Of cases in which
| the newcomers had become dissatis-
fed and gone away, and pointing out
the wonderful possibilities Of trucking
in this section so favored over the
| Northwest by climate.
The demands upon Mr.. Watson's Of
| flee from every part Of the State for
servants has been steadily growing,
| but so far he has not been able to
| meet it in any adequate manner,
though he has placed a few servants
| here and there.
1--WE think we will have much Of this
servant evil cured in six months
though Commissioner Watson said.
through a scheme we have blocked
out and are about to put into opera
ton. Mr.. Herbert sails from New
York on the Oath for GLASGOW and will
work in the north Of Ireland section
where the people have not been used
to high wages. These immigrants, in
families, as far as possible, will be
passed at Ellis Island and put right
aboard Clyde steamer for Charleston
being ticketed straight through to Co.
lumbia, where they will be distributed
near the towns so that the girls who
will work in the families will be safe
guarded and will be more acceptable
in the homes. If those New York labor
agents get hold of them even over
night It's all off so far as this section
is concerned.
"on recent trip to New York
heard women immigrants just off the
boat offered as high as s45 a month
and home to cook We simply can't
meet these sort Of prices, and while
the people here are willing to pay a
little more than they are paying ne
groes it impossible to supply this
section with white servants in any
| other way than that have suggested" !"

Where the Game Started.

1t was beautiful spring morning
early in the year 1904 B. C. iUssher's
chronology. The ardent rays of the
sun were diffracted and softened by
the misty envelope which at that time
protected the earth. Everywhere
were signs of life and merriment.
Suddenly there was crescendo whis.
Ting sound as Of body moving rapid
ly through the atmosphere and some
strange-shaped foreign object landed
on the messy turf with a dull, sicken-
ing thud. Presently, however, Satan
(for it was indeed he) sat up and
rubbed himself. He recovered his
wind and said: ALAS. my graft
scheme wasn't popular up there, but
I'll eat my shirt if don't make it per-
fectly respectable on earth" Then he
got busy in the garden and was doing
nobly until the magazines got on his
trail.

DEATH.
Caught Between Boiler Head

Ca,ignt Between Boiler Head
AID Tender Of the Engine
Long Pine, Neb., April 49,
Pinioaed between the boiler
head and tender, with scalding
water pouring from a broken
water guage upon his face and
over his shoulders and breath
ing fiery flames issuing from
an open fire box, Fireman L. E..
Day of Chadron last night died
a horrible death on Northwest
ern freight train No. 116 two
miles west of Merriman. He
was in the act of shoveling coal
into the firebox when the en-
CINE struck a six-foot washout
and came to asudden stop, caus-
ing the fireman to be caught be-
tween cab and tender and brake
off the water guage, besides
the coal from the tender poured
down and covered the lower
part of his body. In this help
less condition he endeavored to
speak to his engineer, but fail
ing waved a farewell with his
one free arm and succumbed.
O. P. Masters, the engineer,
who had a miraculous escape
fir om death also, was unable to
render any assistance to his
suffering mate, as he, too, was
cramped into his cab corner un-
able to squirm out. He was
dazed by a hard knock he had
received on the head.
Nine freight cars were piled
on top of one another and were
smashed almost to kindling
wood. No other members of
the train crew were seriously
injured, and it is thought here
that the road will be opened for
tomorrow's through passenger
trains, which have been meet
ing at the wreck and transfer
ing.

The electrical music is characterized

Qualities so closely resembling the

they would be mistaket for them; new
qualities also. which it is impossible TO
describe and which must be heard TO
be appreciated-a singular attack
which Is controlled by the performer S
touch, and which seems at one instant
to be that OF a bow, at another that of
a hammer on string, at another hat
of a wood-wind, according to the eff
febt tho performer desires to produce
on the Instrument that he wishes TO
Initiate; and last. and most important,
the fact that the music, produced in
the form of electrical vibrations, is di-
visible and distributable and can be
produced at thousand places stimuli

as ii an orchestra were on the spot.

Weather Crop Blu lletin

For week ending April 16,
1906, Des Moines, Iowa-The
first half of the week was gen.
orally fair and seasonable, but
the latter part was showery
and much colder, ending with
heavy frost. The average
tempature was about normal
for the state, but there was
considerable excess of rainfall
in all districts, causing still fur
ther delay in farming opera
tions.
On we'll drained lands some
progress has been made in seed
ing oats, spring wheat and bar
ley, and considerable grass lands
have been turned preparatory
for planting; but for the state
at large the season is late, and
conditions have been unfavor-
able for field work. Several
days of sunshine and drying
winds are needed to put the
soil in condition for tillage and
seeding. Grass in old meadows
and pastures has made a good
start. The reports as to all
kinds of fruit are generally ia
vorable.

is 60 pounds of butter a month,
