Something of sensation was caused
at Laporte, Ind, when Coroner Mack

OF the children, which had been sub

expert reports that he found strycb-

each of the three stomachs. The the
DRY that Mrs. Guinness murdered her
children and then committed suicide is
strengthened. in the opinion of many
persons, by the unexpected develop

Sixty-five thousand elephants were

Cape Colony furnished a hundred

African ivory brings the highest

average weight of tusk is much less

GIVE BACK THE RIVERS.

Once They We're Thoroughfares and
They should BE Made SO Again.
In early days our rivers were thor
oughfares. says the World To-day.
They continued to be thoroughfares un-
til the middle Of tie last century. Nov
they are used mostly for sewerage and
drinking water.
Yet sooner or later nature knows
that human nature viii cone to its
senses. 1t takes no great genius to dis
cover that the Ohio. Tennessee, Illinois,
Mississippi. Missouri and the Arkansas
might very easily be Joined By the
canals OF the great lakes They are
raw material ready for a transporta-
ton system which will make the Nile
look like a strip of litmus paper.
The rivers themselves seem anxious
to work Not having farm products to
transport they are transporting farms.
There is a good deal Of agricultural
land Of Missouri and Illinois. not to
mention half dozen other states. to be
seen In the Gulf OF Mexico. Dig UP
few sand bars. build few Ievees, and
blew up few dams. and the rivers win
be sobered. Then the region between
the Allcghanies and the Rockies. the
Gulf of Mexico and the north pole can
get It's goods to market without worry
ing about the shortage of freight cars.
II 1t Is for the interest Of the country
that we should have harbors on the
Pacific and Atlantic. II Is just as neces-
sary that there should be wharyes and
lighthouses and fourfeen-foot channels

the Pinkertons and forced to fee. Going
to Boston, he went to work for the Bos-

defaulter in the sum of $4,000, and
he has disappeared. The expose came
when Charles Mertens of Madison, ma

annual visit to investigate the local in
stitution. Before the investigation was
completed Schultz had vanished, suppos-
edly taking street car to Milwaukee,
from where it is believed, he went by boat
to Michigan and thence across the river
at Detroit to Canada. Friends of the
young man declare he must have been
insane and fear he will kill himself. The
discovery created a tremendous sensa-
ton throughout the city, because of the
fact that Schultz was born and educated
there, comes from one of the oldest Ger
man families and is society man and
musician of considerable prominence. Only
a year and half ago Schultz married
girl prominent socially. Less thar two
months ago auditors made careful ex-
