of the district attorneys force, looked
over the scene and sought to deter

the train. The result of their investi-

The wreckage was completely clear

PROBABLY DUE TO SUN SPOTS,
Phenomenal Atmospheric Disturb.
ances at Pittsburq, Pa.

Pittsburg, Feb. 15.-The most phe-
nomenal atmospheric disturbance ever
witnessed in this city occurred at
1852 Thursday, when in the midst of
an extraordinary heavy blizzard sew
eral peals of loud thunder were heard
and the vivid fash of lightning came
from the heavsn, causing a magnificent
combination of atmospheric conditions
and frightening many persons who
saw the remarkable occurrence.
Prof. John A. Grashear, of the AL.
legheny observatory, who announced
the discovery Of one of the greatest
sun spots ever called to the attention
OF astronomers, when seen again re.
garding the phenomenon, said:
"The disturbance shortly after noon
was the most remarkable thing

WANTS LAND LEGISLATION.
Urges Conservation of Coal and Fuel
Resources on Public Domain.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Roosevelt sent to congress message
calling attention to what he terms the
urgent need of legislation affecting
the different phases of the public land
situation in the United States"
The president advocates the conser-
walton of coal and other fuel resources
on government lands, urges gov
ernment control of the western pub
lie land grazing fees and asks for an
appropriation of $5OO,OOO to aid in de-
tecting and preventing land frauds.
He contends for system of govern
ment leasing of it's mineral lands and
for treating these fuel lands as public
utilities.

Snakes Reared for Their Skins

The idea that snakes are useless
creatures and should he exterminated
wherever found, will have to pass
away, says the Shoe Trade Journal,
as in Australia they are now being
Systematically reared for the sake of
their skins, which have a constaera-
BILE commercial value in London,
Paris and New York. Snakeskin is
the fashionable material for slippers,
belts, bags, purses, jewel boxes, card
cases, dressng-table accessories, etc.
Rabbit trappers supplement their
means considerably by catching young
snakes and extracting their poinson-
GUS fangs. The blacks are also ex-
pert snake catchers. To them the
snake is an agreeable article of diet.

WORST CURSE OF ALL.
Whisky Wrecks the Physical, But,
Worst of All, the Spiritual.

The curse of drunkenness on the
side of its physical devastations has
been abundantly Depicted by the advo-
Gates of the temperance reform. The
amount of grain consumed in the
manufacture of intoxicating liquors;
the number of men whose labor is
worse thar wasted in producing and
vending them; the number of lives
destroyed by them; the number of
paupers and insane persons whose
woes are traceable to this source; the
effect upon ihdividuals-al of these
things are frequently set forth with
sufficient fullness in impressive
rhetoric. But the worst side Of
drunkenness, says Harper's Monthly,
is not that which appears in these
familiar figures. The most frightful
effects of the drink habit are not
those which can be tabulated in sta
tistics and reported in the census. 1t
is not the waste Of corn nor the des-
truction of property, nor the increase
of taxes, nor even the ruin of ply
sical loss of life, which most i'm
presses the mind of the thoughtful OBJ
server of inebriety. 1t is the effect Of
vice upon the characters of men as it
is exhibited to him day by day in his
ordinary intercourse with them. 1t is
in the spiritual realm that the raw
ages of strong drink are most terrible.

SECRET INQUIRY BEING HELD
In Connection With Condition of the
Cruiser Yorktown's Boilers.

Vallejo, Cal, Feb. 16.--It became
known that a secret inquiry is being
held at the Mare Island navy yard in
connection with the condition of the
boilers of the cruiser Yorktown. The
Yorktown had been ordered to Magda-
lena bay to protect American interests
in Central America, but just before
starting it was found that her boilers
were leaking badly and examination
showed that II rivets had been re-
moved, apparently deliberately. Had
the Yorktown been allowed to proceed,
it is said, the Bennington horror would
have been duplicated. The flagship
Chicago was dispatched south in place
of the Yorktown.

in whose benumbed conscience there
Is no thought of pity, whose breast

Again, the dollar spent with the
local dealer stays in the community
where it blesses the spender over and
over again. The merchant pays it to
the butcher for meat, the butcher gets
his bread of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the bakers till,
the baker pays it to the miller for
flour, and the latter buys his grain
from the farmer, so the dollar once
more jingles merrily in the farmers

the mail order house and it is gone
never to return. 1t goes to build up

farmer to send his money to help

cities? Has he not more interest in
beautifying and building up his own

should. If a place is good enough for
a man to live in and to make his
money in, it is good enough for him to
spend his money in. Who helps build
the churches, school houses, streets,
bridges, etc.? Does the mail order
house help? Will they give a dollar
to educate the farmers children, or
donate anything to support the farm
er's widow or orphans? Do they help
to pay the taxes, or add anything to
bring comfort or necessary improve
ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro-
cured as cheaply, if not at more rea-
sonable prices, at home. Trade with
your neighbor, whose interests are

DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION
Threatened the Destruction of Several
City Blocks in Allegheny.

Pittsburg, Feb. 1S.-A fire which
threatened the destruction of several
city blocks in Allegheny, destroyed
five business buildings, and three
dwelling houses, causing an estimat-
ed loss of 100000.
The fire originated from an explo-
sion in the basement of Kenyon's dry
goods store and meeting hall, a five
story structure, and quickly spread to
the other buildings.
What caused the explosion is not
known. The Cornelius Express Co.
buildings, Strasberger & Joseph's dry
goods store and Randolph's furniture
store were burned to the ground.
The flames then communicated to
three dwelling houses adjacent to the
Cornelius building, completely cutting
them. At midnight the fireman had
the fire under control.

Copyright by Alfred G, Clarkl

As on the western prairies in
pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire,
kindled to prepare his frugal meal or
to warm him from the biting wind,
famed into renewed vigor, spread,
first on the tiny blade of grass to
neighboring blades, and thence to the
tangled masses all around until the
broad plains were one vast sea of
seathing flame destroying all before
it, so the mail order business, started
in the eastern cities on a small scale,
famed by the breeze of judicious ad-
vertising, has spread until it now cov-
ers the length and breadth of our land
and threatens disaster to the smaller
dealers everywhere. The note of
warning has been sounded, the light
is visible in the sky, and yet appar-
emily oblivious to it all, the ones
whose safety is being endangered,
heed not the alarm nor the signal of
disaster. The country merchant and
the farmer, whose combined efforts
can stem the tide of destruction that
threatens to engulf them, are alone
unconscious of the approaching devas-
tation, that, like a great sea of con-
suming flame, is threatening to engulf
them.
The country merchant and the farm
er-the simple, honest dwellers in the
rural districts, are the victims this
gigantic peril is reaching out for to
fill its rapacious nav. Each year its
grasp becomes firmer, it's power
greater. Only few short years ago
the catalogue house was a thing un-
heard of, to-day it stands as one of
Americas greatest institutions. And
with great fortune comes great pow
er, so now the mail order business
may well be classed among the powers

The most sensational story was told
by VIII Mapp, who was a member Of
Company c. 25th infantry. He was on
the stand when the hearing adjourned
for the day.
Mapp was asked if he ever heard
any discussion of the shooting which
caused him to suspect any persons OF

He replied that at breakfast on the
morning following the shooting he had
heard Wilburt Voschelle, the reserva.
tion corral boss, and white man who
had been in charge of the corral prior
to the arrival of battalion of the 25th

The call to arms was then sounded
and he hurried to get dressed and to

He said the shooting and the shout

end of Company BIS barracks.
Mapp told Of the confusion in quar-,

the rack that was broken open and
was one of the first to fall in.

BEGGED FOR TWO DAYS REPRIEVE
PLEA WAS IN VAIN AND CASTER
WENT TO ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Wanted Haugh To Share His MoneI
With Him, That He Might Take
His Case to Supreme Court.

Columbus. O., Feb. 15.-Retainini
hope of a reprieve till the last mo
ment Frederick Caster went to the
electric chair and paid the penalty fol
his crime by death at 1891 o'clock.
In his last hours he devoted him,
self to begging for reprieve Of just
two days, but his plea was in vain.
During the evening he was visited
by his mother, two sisters and a
brother from Flint, Mich.
He presented a calm demeanor to
them and bade them goodbye as
though he were going ON brief visit
instead of on journey to eternity.
When asked if he had anything to
say, he thanked the warden and prison
officials for their courteous treatment
The black cap was adjusted, the cur.
rent turned on; then death.
During the week Caster made an
earnest appeal to DR.. Oliver c. Haugh,
the Dayton man under suspended sen.
tence to death in tie annex.
Haugh has money and Caster want
ed him to share it with him, that he
might take his case up to the United
States supreme court.
mo-" said Haugh, curtly "YNou
ought to be glad to go to the chair.
Why should give you money? l
am not giving it to my own lawyers
and l won't give it to yours. Go to
the chair, | say. l want to and if
do not and am left in this penitentiary
for life, l will croak myself, and that
goes. Yop're lucky dog to get to the
chair now"
Caster was extremely bitter against
those who run the gang in Canton.
He talked repeatedly of their alleged
desertion of him after having so long
profited by his crimes. There is no
chance Of burglars working, he said,
unless there be an organization among
them.
Pickpocllets and strong-arm men
may work individually, but the burg.
lar must have the fence and the gun
joint to harbor him and to dispose of
his swag.
