Sank at Tipt0nville, Tenn, Yes
terday---NO Lives Lost.
She Passed Paducab Sunday and Had
Good Trip-She May BE
Raised.
SAID TO BE LYING STRAIGHT

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 23.-The
steamer Rees Lee, which passed Pa
ducah Sunday. one of the Leeslne
packets 10 Cincinnati, went down
yesterday morning at 1880 at Tip
tonville Landing. 1876 miles south of
Paducah. No lives were lost, and in
all probability the boat can be raised
and repaired.
The Rees Lee was on her way
down the river from Cincinnati, hav-
ing left that city Wednesday, jan
uary II. with about 800 tons of mis-
cellaneous freight for points from
Cairo to Memphis. The boat was in
charge of Capt. John Stapleton, and
had made a landing at Tiptonville
when the accident occurred. The
Rees Lee was attempting to clear the
landing and was backing off from the
shore when she backed into a hidden
obstruction which rammed a hole in
the stern, causing her hold to quickly
down in about six feet of water.
From Information given out at the
Lee line Offices the boat can probably
be saved. She settled with her head
up stream with the water about six
feet on the starboard side and about
eighteen feet of water on the lar
board side, thus giving her position
an angle of about thirty-five degrees
There were only few passengers
aboard. These and the crew were
taken off by a small boat before the
Rees Lee sank. The boat was near
the bank, and there was no fright by
any of the passengers or crew.
The Lee line company sent the
Sun at O'Clock last night to make
observations, and as soon as possible
an effort will be made to raise the
boat. The only trouble now TO fear
is the rising of the river, which is re-
ported as rising from Cairo down to
Memphis. Ii Is believed that it has
about reached its highest stage at
Tlptonville. II this is the case WORK
can begin at once. but II the water
still goes up the boat will be greatly
endangered.
The Rees Lee was due to return to
Cincinnati this evening and should
have reached Memphis last night.
The company will send out another
boat to take her place in the Cincin-
natl trade.
The unfortunate steamer Is twin
sister of the Peters Lee. Both were
built simultaneously by L. ]. Howard
at Jeffersonville, Ind, five years ago.
They belonged to the fourth-class
steamers of the company, but are ele-
CANT and stanch crafts. The James
Lee, Ferd Herold and Stacker Lee
rank above the Rees Lee and Peters
Lee. The boat was one of the most
useful steamers in the Lee line ag-
gregation of a dozen boats, and was
sternwheel freight and passenger
vessel with a passenger capacity OF
about 100. 1t was 200 feet long by
SO feet wide. with foot depth.
There were about 500 tons OF mis-
cellaneous freight aboard when the
boat went down.

RHEUMATISM GERM FOUND
Bacillus Said to Be Cause of the Dis
ease Discovered by New
York Doctor.

New York.-After IS years of unavail-
ing search by scientists all over the
world, the germ that causes rheumatic
fever or acute articular rheumatism
has been discovered as the result Of
experiments in the Presbyterian Hos
pital laboratory of this city by DR..
Lewis Fox Frissell, attending physi-
clan to the Seton hospital. The dis
coverer declares rheumatism Is infec-
tious.
DR.. Fissell describes to the alumni
OF the Presbyterian hospital his ex-
periments. He first made an effort to
isolate an organism from the fluid
drawn from the joints of a rheumatic
patient This was injected into the
veins OF rabbits without result. Next
cultures were taken from the tonsils
OF persons suffering from both ton
silitis and articular rheumatism. Fail
ure again.
Finally, the experimenter selected
an alcoholic woman, who was found
In hospital ward suffering from
articular rheumatism of IL years
her tonsils. Germs were found, linked
together in chains. A rabbit into
which the germs we're injected be-
came lame as with rheumatism. The
animal was killed and the germs taken
from 1t were injected into ten other
rabbits. All of these after time de-
veloped the rheumatic symptoms.
The rheumatism germ, thus isolated.
is described by DR.. Frissell as looking
a good deal like diplococci, or strep-
tococci. II possesses, however, a spe-
cial affinity for the joints.
DR.. Frissell concludes that while
exposure to wet and damp may bring
on rheumatism, the real cause is a
specific germ"
Rheumatism he classes as an infec-
tious disease, which occurs in epidem-
ic form. Pleurisy and rheumatism of
the heart, he told the alumni, were
both probably due to the newly-dis-
covered germ.

PART DOG AND PART BEAR
Singular Animal Resembles Each Of
Parents in Some Par
ticulars.

Denver.-Half bear, half dog, a re-
markable prodigy Of nature. was
brought to the city from Nebraska by
l. Pinter. 1t is the only known ex-
ample Of the crossing of the dog and
bear families.
Teddy is the name of the hybrid.
His mother was a common stray dog
OF North Platte, Neb.. a little bigger
than Scotch terrier and Of the same
general build and color. Father Bear
has never been seen. The dam gave
birth to litter Of flve OF the strange
puppies. but four were born dead.
The creature is now eleven months
old and weighs about 35 pounds, but
looks much heavier. At first sight the
animal gives the impression of a Pc
culiar kind Of dog, although on closer
examination the bear peculiarities are
more evident. The ears are long and
dropping, like those of a spaniel, the
tail is also that Of a spaniel. The eyes
are large and have the mild dog-like
expression. A bear has short upstand-
ing ears, a stub tail never more than

small and quite different in expression
and the manner they are set In the
head.
But the bear hump is very plain
above the headquarters. The legs are
bear paws, thick as a mans arm and
short, with pads that will In time
make an impression similar TO the hu-
man foot. and the claws are long. Ted
dy has never been heard TO bark. but
will occasionally give a modest bears
growl. In habits he Is more side bruin
instead Of upright as is the fashion in
the canine world. He always lies down
TO eat.
The animal shows little intelligence
and energy. He has not strength
enough to walk upstairs and will re-
fuse TO go more than a mile at a time
unless slow progress is made.
