The Serpent Seen Again.

On Thursday afternoon of last week
while Thomas Thorson, John Isack-
son, Prof. DeVries and L. L. Redfield
were down at the Beloit dam, looking
over the proposed site for the new
steel dam, Mr.. Isakson and Prof De-
Vries had their attention suddenly
called to a hideous monster swim
ming in the river. They shouted to
Mr.. Thorson but he was in a position
where he could not see it. 1t had
evidently been aroused on the little
island below the dam where Mr.. Red
field was and took to the river. Mr..
Isakson describes the head of the
monster as very much resembling
until it got in among lot of broken
timber in on the west side of the
river. It's head was fully seven or
eight inches in breadth, but he could
not determine its length as the body
was under water, There is little
doubt that it is a saltwater monster,
as nothing like it has ever been dis.
covered in fresh water or in the for
ests. It's head has no resemblance
to anything in the snake family so
far as we can judge from Mr.. Isak-
son s description.
There is good deal Of mystery
connected with the presence of the
reptile in this inland region. 1t
must have got into the mouth of the
Mississippi and feeling the current
swan against it continuously until 1t
got to the Beloit dam over which It

RApS MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.
Governor Folk Advocates Home
Merchants and Home Papers.

Governor Joseph w. Folk, in ad-
dressing the retail merchants OF Mis-
souri, at their convention in Jefferson
City the other day, spoke against the
mail order business and favored ad-
vertising in the owns.papers. He
said in part: .--.-s.s..
'We are proud of our splendid
cities, and we want them to increase
in wealth and population, and we
also want our country towns to grow.
We wish the city merchants to build
up, but we also desire the country
merchant to prosper. 1 do not be-
lieve in the mail order citizen. II a
place is good enough for man to live
in and to make his money in. it is
good enough for him to spend his
money.
"No merchant can succeed without
advertising in one way or another.
Patronize your town papers, build
them up, and they will build the
town up and build you up increased
trade and greater opportunities. Do
not be afraid that business is going
to be hurt by the recent exposures OF
wrongdoing in the commercial world.
No man who is doing an honest busi.
ness can be injured by the light. All
business will be better for the cleans
ing process it is going through and
for the stamping out of evil.

Protection For swimmers.
Cotton in the ears" said a physi-
clan, should be used by all those who
swim out beyond their depth. You
know how often good swimmers OF
that type drown, don't you? Their
drowning is imputed to cramp, but
you will never find one of the drown
ed with his ears stuffed with cotton.
Why? I'll tell you why. Because it
isn't cramp that causes these drown
ings. 1t Is a perfOration of the ear
drum, followed by Inconsistencies,
due to the pressure of the water
Cramp isn't, after all, the deadly thing
it is made out to be. If you get a
cramp in your leg Willie swimming 1t
is easy enough to roll over on your
back and float. The cramp won't kill
you But a perforation of the ear
drum is different 1t takes away
your senses, and down you go like a
log. So always, IL you are going to
do much swimming. stuff cotton In

Philadelphia, Sept 29.-The express
train on the Pennsylvania railroad,
which left New York at 1880 a. m.

thorities for all ambulances available.
A later report is to the effect that
five persons were killed and only Is
to 20 injured. The wrecked train was

dred yards north of the Eddington
station to repair damages to the
brakes, and while it was standing

PLOT TO sLAY czAR NlPPED.
Ramifications of the Conspiracy Are
Said to Rs Extensive.


st. Petersburg, Sept. ga well
laid plot against the life of the en-
perOr, and one with all the chances
of success on its side, was uncovered
Friday by the arrest Of two armed
terrorists, a man and a woman, In
the quarters of one Of the palace SER
wants within the enclosure of the AL
exandria palace, Peterhof his males
tvs secluded and closely guarded
summer residence. The servants son
and another lackey named Klepnikoff,
who were concerned in smuggling the
terrorists through the guards, and ar
ranging their hiding place, were ar
rested for being implicated in the
plot
Emperor Nicholas had been expect
and it is presumed that the terrorists
intended to lay in wait and seize a
favorable opportunity to shoot him
while he was promenading or playing
with his children in the palace
grounds.
Part OF the great park at Peterhof
is protected on one side by the wa
ters of the bay, and on three sides it
is enclosed by high wall surmcunted
with iron spikes. This wall is con
stantly patrolled by trusted COssacks.
The ramitcations of the conspiracy
in which arrests have been reported
almost daily since Sept. Is, when
lackey and several other persons were
arrested, are extensive, and may pos
sibly have included two or more sub
divisions, one directed at the emperor
and the other against Grand Duke
Nicholas.
A general campaign of arrests and
domiciliary visitations was Inaugural
ted in st. Petersburg Friday. 1t is
not connected with the Peterhof plot,
but is an outcome of the recent ar
rival here of a group of Polish so
cialists.

New Orleans, Sept. 29-Reports
of the death of Captain Johnson,
keeper Of Horn Island lighthouse in
Mississippi Sound, and the death of
his wife and daughter, were brought
here Saturday by the first train into
New Orleans from the east over the
Louisville and Nashville railroad In
the Mississippi river delta country the
damage to Fort st. Phillip was re-
ported by two pilots who made a
trip UP the river, Immediately after
the storm. They said that baclawater
from the gulf covered the land in
the vicinity of the fort for a distance
of miles along the river At point
73 miles down the river they said
the hurricane tide opened a hole in
the Mississippi river levee and it was
not until late Thursday afternoon that
the gulf water stopped flooding
through this break
The pilots also brought complaints
from orange growers that about SO
per cent Of the oranges were blown
from the trees.
The El Cid reported that on Sept.
"a, when IL miles south Of Diamond
shoals, a 3-masted schooner was
sighted, lying on her starboard side,
and that "a miles south of the shoal
ddsmasted, water-logged schooner
of about TOO tons displacement, was
sighted. Launches have been sent
by newspapers and business men
from here and Pensacola, and in event
of other communication failing, these
launches will be used as dispatch
boats.
Reports from Hattiesburg, Miss,
were that the town had suffered from
about 100000 damage from wind and
water. During the latter part of the
blow there was such a quantity of
wreckage in the streets that few per-
sons attempted to walk about. The
fire department was called out in the
vicinity of Gordon Creek to rescue
women and children imprisoned in
their homes by an overflow of the
creek. Five buildings were blown
down, one of them being large ware
house. The First National bank was
unroofed
Brookhaven reported that an en-
gine and caboose, the latter carry
ing a theatrical troup ran into wash
out ON the Mississippi Central rail-
road, near the town. Five trainmen
were injured, three perhaps fatally.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.-Damages
OF $4,000 at Fort st. Phillip, so miles
below here, on the Mississippi river,
were reported Saturday by incoming
steamers. A portion of the levee
erected to protect the post against
just such tides is reported to have
been broken and the magazines flood
ed. New quarters under process of
erection are also reported swept
away. Hourly the magnitude of
Thursdays storm in Mississippi be-
came more serious Saturday as the
interrupted telegraphic communica-
ton with that state was resumed in
every direction Town after town in
the interior wired here that buildings
had been blown down, lives endan-
gered and crops blown fiat in the
fields.
simultaneously there arrived an
enumeration of an almost unbroken
line of wreckage of shipping on the
gulf coast in the direction of Mobile.
However, all reports of the situation
ended abruptly at a point about SO
miles west Of Mobile In addition to
the shipping washed ashore on the
coast, first reports came in Saturday
of vessels wrecked or stranded on
the chain of islands out in the gulf
which form the Mississippi fingers.
Vessels coming up the river report
that they passed floating household
goods, though no loss of life was re-
ported.

pigmy Place. In Orphans Home.

New York, Sept. 29.-Ota Benja,
the African pigmy who has been ex-
hibited at the New York Geological
park for some time, has finally been
taken away as the result of the pro-
test of negroes here. The pigmy has
been installed in Howard Negro Or

is hoped that by association with the
negro children and their instructors,
the piglny may be civilized, so that
when he goes back home he will be
able to teach his people.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 29.-(Via
Flomaton, Ala 1.-The worst hurricane
to visit this city In its history and
almost equaling the Galveston disas-
ter, ragged here furiously all Thurs
day night and Friday morning, with
a gale still blowing, the city presents
a wrecked appearance and the dam
age is estimated at $5,O00,000. The
loss of life will be heavy among the
mariners, but SO far only one body
has been recovered, a man named
George Morgan, fisherman. Other
bodies are reported along the shore,
but have not been recovered.
1t is the conservative opinoin that
not less than 25 persons perished,
though in the chaos existing 1t is i'm
possible to verify anything.
Commencing at o'clock Thursday
night the wind blew at SO miles for
three hours, then increased to 65.
From that time until o'clock 1t re-
manned about 80 and 80 miles an
hour. The tides from the bay backed
into the city for blocks, destroying
homes and making rivers out of
streets. When the gale was at it's
highest and women and children were
running frantic about the streets in
darkness, the alarm of fire was
sounded and this added to the con-
fusion. The fire started In the Pitt
mill, near the business district, and
horses of the fire department refused
to go out in the weather.
With the tin roofs flying about
them, trees and wires falling over
them, the firemen took their hose
wagons by hand and rushed down
the streets to the scene and after
hours Of work controlled the blaze.

tons have been driven, not only
ashore, but have gone through houses

Every house along the water front
Tor a distance of 10 miles has been
destroyed and the wonder is that the
loss OF life is not greater. The tracks
or the terminal railway to the navy
yard and Barrancas have all been
destroyed, as also the trestles and
bridges.
No communication can be had with
the navy-yard, but the report is that
1t has been badly damaged. And
there is no doubt that such is the
case
Many business houses from the
wharf on Chalifoux street to the I'm
lon depot has been unroOfed, many
plateglass windows broken, stocks
badly damaged and wires and poles
all mixed up together. There are no
electric lights, cars or telegraph or
