The telegram was to his father; Col
U. b. Harold, and merely announced
his own escape.
Besides Mr.. Harold several other
people well known in Americus are in
the stricken city, and apprehension fol
their safety is felt here. Probably full
news of the disaster will be received
today.
Mrs. De Wolff, formerly Miss Horn.
aday of EllavilIe, is here upon visit
although Mr.. eWolff is iu the stricken

The story is that twenty

when the hour came the young man
did not appear. And she never saw

She took vow that night, the

of her death. And even lcut the mer

A Most Valuable Agent.

Tho vIycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's

properties which it extracts from native

being a valuable demulcent, nutritive,
antiseptic and antiferment. 1t adds
greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry.

In all cases where there is a wasting

While it is not so announced official

dence at the investigation sustained
the charges of unnecessary whipping,
even with tree roots upon occasion. as
told by witnesses.
The whipping of seventeen upon one
occasion, when one of the number had
taken five cent tin bucket, and the
whipping of seven at another time for
the fault of one, was likewise fully
aired, as was the beating of Ed Davis
for smoking cigarette.
The county commissioners have
promised to institute reforms.
1t was stated yesterday by one of the
commissioners that some progress to
this greatly desired end was being
made, and that new men would be en-
ployed where it was deemed for the
good of the service. None have vet
been discharged.
The two prison inspectors will go
out to camp this morning They will
find things there in perfect trim, no
doubt, but the investigation will be
thorough, nevertheless.

TO Make HISTORY
Eastern College viii, For First
Time, Row in Western
Waters This Week.

Madison, Wis, May 2S.-Next Fri
day, for the first time in boating his
tory, an eastern university crew Will
race In western waters, when the eight
and four cared crews of Syracuse uni
versity will measure strength and
skill against the crews of the univer-
sity of Wisconsin on the waters of
Lake Mendoza. With one of the most
beautiful little inland lakes of the
country on which to race, the Wiscon-
sin varsity crews heretofore have
been compelled to go away from
home for their races. But this year
Coach Ten Eyck has succeeded not
only in rounding into form what is
claimed to be the best crew Wisconsin
ever had, but also OF getting an east
ern crew to come west and race. II
is to be Ten Eyck against Ten Eyck,
Ten Eyck, the elder, is coach of the
Syracuse crews, his son the coach of
the Wisconsin crews, and the rivalry
between father and son adds not a
little to the interest which is being
taken In the race. Madison this week
will be the Mecca of Wisconsin gradu-
ates and already thousands have
started for Madison or are preparing
w 81 taCi0 anu S#cll tlle CCOWUS OF
spectators that will line the bluffs
along the tWO-nlile course.
Cold weather has retarded the work
of the Wisconsin crews this spring,
and Ten Eyck says he is not confident
of the result with Syracuse for that
reason. Nevertheless those who have
watched the varsity work and have
observed the improved form they dis
play under their new coach's teach
ing, do not share in this lack of con-
fidence. Their stroke Is more finished
than that taught by O'Dea. Whether
more speed will develop remains to
be seen, as only Ten Eyck knows, and
he will not tell.
For those who are familiar with the
course, 1t may be said that the start
will be a little beyond the old malt
house, to the northeast of the stream
connecting lakes Mendoza and Mon
ona, thence along the lake shore to
the finish in front of the university
boat house.
