schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Elue Cured

claimed to be "just as good as
Schnapps, but there is only one gen.
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the pluo
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have 1.-THE most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this hue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome.
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco,
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, in SC. cuts,
strictly Ioc. and I5c. plugs.

WAVE CARVING.
Queer Franks Played by tire sea on
the Yuha Plain.

In the southeastern portion ot CaD
fornia is great desert plain huovu as.
the YUMA plain. which lies hy.oW the
level of the sea. 1t is n portion ut the
Colorado desert, in which is "a dri,r,.
sion below sea level having an area o.
1900 square miles. Some portions ~
this great sink are 265 feet below the
level OF the sea. The Iuha plain is less
than fifty feet below,
one portion Of this plain several
miles in extent Is covered with remark
able stones-rem remarkable in that they
have been shaped into many curious
forms, and that independent OF the
hand Of man. The waves of an ancient
sea which covered the region in the
prehistoric ages fashioned the stones
producing many resemblances to ob.
jects manufactured In workshops to-
daEs or found In nature. There are
stone balls varying In size from a mar
BILE TO a cannon ball, many Of them as
round and smooth as those cast for
the great guns of man-of war.
There are stone dinner plates as thin
as the porcelain or china found on the
tables Of our dining room and nearly
as perfect in shape. Sometimes these
are found in piles two or three feet
high. as though arranged by the hand
of man. There are stone flowers, stone
cahbages. stone dumbbells, stone canes,
stone Quoits. stone bOomerangs, and
even reSemblanCes to birds and ami
malsSnre discovered.
The peculiar freak Of the waves In
taking up the art Of carving In this
part Of the plain Is accounted for by
the conformation Of the desert at this
point. When the waters OF the sea oc.
cupied this region they were part OF
the gulf Of California, the nearest
point Of which Is now ninety miles
distant The tides came In 10 this an.
cient sea through the gulf from the
south They rolled up against what Is
now known us Superstition mountain.
The waters swept back against low
range Of hills on the opposite side OF
the Yuha plain and, rccoiling, were
again thrown back toward the Super.
stition mountain, finally passing out at
about the point whence they entered
this arm of the gulf This kept the
waters ut that particular point always

Man Who Was SeaIded Badly at 5ron-

Engineer Robert Dupree, the engi-
neer in charge of the freight train the
locomotive of which exploded plug
which caused the death OF the fire
man and serious burns to Mr.. Dupree,
was brought to this city yesterday
morning, and is now resting at his

An account of this accident appear

while the freight train, running be.

Bronson, when the fireman, Mos"
Sawls, went under the engine TO ad'
Just some irregularity when a plug
blew out, resulting in the death Of
Sawls a couple OF hours later In
his attempt TO rescue SAWS, who
was being scalded to death by steam,
Engineer Dupree received his in
juTies.
The Sun was in error in stating
that Sawls was a negro, and gladly
makes the correction. He was a young
white man of excellent character and
standing. and his death in this hor'
rible manner is deeply deplored.

Johnnie Maddox Killed.

Our little town, Des Arc, Mo-,
was again shocked, and many
hearts saddened, by the news, on
last Wednesday, of the death of
Johnnie Maddox, % years of age,
who was killed at Irondale. He
had been working on the road as
brakeman only a short time and
was running on a through freight.
They were running at a high speed
through Irondale and he was on
top of the caboose, just ready to
enter the cupola, when he was
struck by the Iron spout of the
water tank, which had been left
down, and thrown ninety feet,
killing him instantly. He was the
son of Mrs. M. E. Maddox of this
place, and a brother of Ed. Mad
dock, who is we'll known on the
Iron Mountain, having been a rail-
road man for a number of years.
The beautiful floral designs sent
by his friends showed the high
esteem and love in which he was
held. Among them was a beau
tiful wreath from his young as
s~ociates; also an anchor, sent by
his crew. The Woodmen con-
Quoted the funeral service, which
was very impressive. Among the
relatives and friends who attended
from a distance were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Erlocker, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Walton from Mineral Point, Miss
Agnes Dumas from st. Louis, Miss
Flavia Polk from Arcadia, MI. and
Mrs. Joe Walton, and Miss Agnes
Maddox, Mr.. Reed, his conductor,
