EMMA NEVADA rs WARNED
Famous Singer in Sunday Magazine
Relates Some Startling Adventures.

Emma Nevada, the sweet singer who
carried the name of her birth state into
the world Of music in both Europe and
America, contributes delightful chap
ter of her "reminiscences. It was Nine.
Nevada s good luck to have had a num-
Der of adventures which all resulted
happily, altho they were planned as
tragedies. Her first appearance in
Spain was to have taken place at Siene,
but a few days prior to the perform
ance she received scrawl, warning her
not to 90 for the night, the theater is
opened it will be blown, up with dyna-
mite " Perhaps it was her good
friend who warned the authorities, for
it is fact, that Immediately before
the opening performance five men with
a quantity Of dynamite were found un-
der the stage plotting the theater's
ruin. But Nine. Nevada had many
pleasant experiences in Spain where she
was the frequent guest of Queen Chris
tine both at Madrid and elsewhere. She
came in close contact with royalty and
has many amusing and interesting cpl
sodes to relate. Her meetings with
stage professions everywhere on the
continent, and delightful evenings
spent with great composers, are filled
with memories that every reader will
delight in having retold.

BOATS. !. ON \. MISSISSIPPI. =.
|: % WILL: BE INVESTIGATED
!. BY W.. W. Jermane.;

! Washington Oct: 1s.-on Thursday
OF this week a special executive COM
mittee of the steamboat inspection
service, composed of George Uhler, in.
speetor general, and Ira Harris and
John w: Cast, supervisors of the second
and third districts, respectively, will
meet in Washington to consider the
question of the amount Of "boatage'
to be, carried on some. Of the vessels
running on the Mississippi, Ohio and
other rivers in the middle west. s :,
these are tow boats and other small
steam vessels that tow barges on these
rivers. Under the regulations govern
ing. their operation they are obliged to
carry life boats, in addition to- other
boats. Their owners and crews do not
believe that the ifeboats are neces-
sary part of their equipment, as most
OF the streams on which they travel are
marrow and it would be an easy matter
to reach shore on either side in case of
accident, and petitions have been sent
here for q change in the regulations.
incidentally the abolition of the rule
requiring these vessels to- carry, life
boats would save the owners some hun
dreds Of dollars on the equipment of
each of their vessels. 49, = :
The committee, while in session. will
also visit Philadelphia to test some new
llfeboat falls, and to inspect other new
appliances for vessels Of all classes,
which have to be approved by>: the
board of supervising inspectors before
they can be adopted by vessel owners.

La Toilette Answered.

Senator La Toilette has branded all
those who disagreed with him over his
amendments to the railroad rate bill as
traitors to the cause Of the people. The
penalty for refusing TO follow the Wis
consin senator wherever he: chooses to
lead is to be held up before the. people
in the light Of corporation tool. r. No
one doubts the sincerity of Senator La
Toilette, but it is too much to assume
that wisdom begins and ends with him.
This was very clearly demonstrated the
other day by Congressman STEVENSON
Of Crookston, in speech at Grafton,
N. D. l.
Mr.. Stecnerson discussed the much
advertised. ffsyaluation amendment, -
which Senator La Toilette sought to at
