Infant immigrant Dies.

& GREENv1LLE. Feb. 11.-A peculiar
Nv sad service was seen in Christ
Episcopal church here today when the
rector, Rev. A. R. Mitchell, read the
funeral prayers over the remains Of
little Theresa Whiting, the 18-months
old child of a German couple, who
came over on the good ship Witte-
kind last Saturday. The child was
taken i'll in Charleston and died in
its mothers arms after the train
reached Columbia. The stop in
that city was too brief to permit of
any burial arrangements there and
the mother came on to Greenville
with the body of her little one in her
arms. When the immigrants, who
numbered about 25, reached Green
vile Sunday afternoon arrangements
were made for the burial.
3 A new-made grave in Christ's
church cemetery marks the resting
place of the infant foreigner who
had scarcely seen the new land when
it died.
I The immigrants who came to
Greenville have all secured work in
the cotton mills.

Strike for Handsome Foreman,

Because of the discharge of their
handsome foreman, Edward P. Wal

the foot-press department Of the

He always won the prize waltzes at
the annual balls of the employees

Therefore, when the company saw

TO ABOLISH DISPENSARY.
The House Passes Without Division
Bill to Wind up Dispensary,

COLUMBIA, Feb. 11.-Without a
division the house today passed a bill
to abolish the state dispensary and
wind up it's affairs and sell all the
stock property in the county dispen-
saries, as we'll as the state dispensary
through a commission of 5, to be ap-
pointed by the governor. The pres
ent county boards may purchase from
the commission stocks Of goods for
the new order of things.
Governor Ansel sent special mes
sage to the two houses today an
nouncing that he had acted on the
resolution as to the dispensary dlrec-
tors and had removed them from
office. This allows the legislature to
elect successors, which it will neglect,
fail and refuse to do.
The house today passed the bill
providing for three lady commission
ers for the Jamestown board, one
each from the middle, upper, and
lower sections Of the State.

Big Kansas Wolf Hunt.

The largest wolf hunt ever pulled
off in Mcpherson county was held
Yesterday south of Window. At the
appointed time over 1000 men were
in line and surrounded 16 sections of
land, and all moved toward the
centre. Wolves and jack rabbits
were started up and when the men
finally came together in the centre
there were 13 wolves. Those with
shotguns began shooting them, and
then the dogs were turned on them.
During the fight six out Of the Ii
wolves escaped and after the fight
was over there were seven dead
wolves. There are a great many
wolves left yet in the same territory
and another hunt is planned for next
week.-McPherson Correspondence

Barn Burned.

Bamberg's record of one fire a
week is being kept up. Tuesday
night about eleven o'clock the barn
and stables of Mr.. L. C: Price was
discovered to be on fire. A crowd
quickly gathered but only the live
stock could be saved. There was a
horse and several COWS in the barn,
and they were all saved but one
small calf which was burned.
Mr.. Price had insurance OF Sl25.O0
on the barn, which will not near
cover the loss. In addition to the
building he lost about 100 bushels OF
corn, a lot Of cotton seed hulls and
meal, fodder, hay, etc. 1t is believed
the barn was set on fire, and certain
ly it looks that way, for there had
been no fire near or in the building.

The department of immigration
asked for an additional appropriation
Of $40, 600 this year, instead of s., 900
which it had been receiving We
presume this $4,000 was to pay the
transportation of immigrants to
work in cotton mills in the up coun-
try. However, the legislature re-
fused to grant the appropriation,
and cut it to $4,000, the sum former
IN allowed. All of which is very
good indeed.

The exposition is magnifcently COM

dedication of :he great pier. The govern

jamestown Exposition. Its completion fills
the great vacuum in the appearance OF the
show on Hampton Reads.
The exercises were held just before dark

government officials formally turned the
property over to President Tucker, Of the
exposition, the thousands of electric lights,
covering the pier and the exposition
buildings were turned on, and amidst the
music of many bands, the screaming of
whistles in the barber and the blazing of
fireworks.
This magnifi, cent contribution of the
general government to the glory and
beauty of the 1er-Csntennial celebration,
represents one of tks most gigantic tasks
of modern times. the government appro-
priated the sum Of 500 900 and the con-

In operating and handling the material
for this gigantic undertaking three locomo-
tives were used, two narrow guaes and
one standard guase. Over two and ball
miles of track were lain to connect the
various parts Of the work with tie s&Hoa-
ton conpanys tracks.
In handling the concrete TIVE separate
and distinct concrete plants were built
one on the shore for the four sea wflls and
the outer end and the other for the arch,
situated on a temporary trsstls ,lensside.
One of the hardest obsta cles in oomplst.
ing the pier was found to be dredging. The
bottom, instead Of bsing sandy, as shown
on the drawings of the original plans,
proved to be a combination Of clay, sand.
sandstone, etc, with q large amount OF
cobblestones and small bould0s, which de-
fed the best efforts of anything but tho

By day the view from the dome of the
mammoth arch is sublime. High above The

includes the vessels of every hnd and
