STRANGE STORIES TOLD.

Four-Year-old Child Found Lodged In
Branches Of Tree After Having Sur
vived Three Days Without Food or
Water-FamiIy Rescued From Small
, Boat in Which a Baby Had Just
Been Born. e.. .. ..~-.... -. WIS.,
New Orleans, Sept. Q debated re-
ports Of death and destruction from
the recent hurricane in Louisiana and
Mississippi show further loss of life
and property The list of dead is now
more than 100. With little hope that
a number of others reported missing
have escaped the total dead may reach
$50. The news Of fifteen additional
deaths along the waterways between
Morgan City, La, and the gulf and on
the adjacent coast have been received.
Nearly all Of these were fishermen
caught in small craft by the storm.
Stories brought here by persons ar
irving from the stricken districts re-
veal many pathetic and unusual &C.
currences. A four year-old child was
found lodged in the branches OF a
tree on the lower coast of Terre
Bonne parish after having survived
for three days without food or water.
Two other children about the same
age were found on a mound in the
middle of the prairie between Terre
Bonnie bayou and Little Gallon. No
other signs of human life were in evil
dence in the vicinity.
One of the striking incidents of the
relief work along the coast was the
rescue of family in a small boat in
which a baby had been born but an
hour before the relief steamer arrived.

New York, Sept. 2 .-Elsie sigel,

Leon Ling, according to the verdict Of

THERE ARE OTHERS BESIDES GOVERNOR
EBERHART.

I. J. COPYRIGHT, of the Staples
Headlight, sees the hand of the
supernatural in the taking away of
the late Governor Johnson and the
installing of Lieutenant Governor
Eberhart as governor, and thinks
it is fitting and we'll; and asserts
with much gravity that the people
will reflect the Mankato man to
office of governor, a year hence.
Says the Headlight:
Now that Lieut.-Gov. Eberhart
has become the chief executive of
this state by reason of the death of
Governor Johnson, the papers which
have been poking fun at his college
record for department will have
reason to feel thankful that man
of his excellent character has been
called to this high station.
AS governor of the great common
wealth of Minnesota Governor Eber-
hart will duplicate his college record
and score 100 in the transaction of
all official business pertaining to his
high office.
His elevation to the office through
the decree of fate means that all
controversy as to who will be the
next Republican nominee for gov
ernor has been eliminated.
He will not only enjoy the
honor and distinction of being our
chief executive for the unexpired por-
ton of Governor Johnson's term, but
the chance of fortune will be ratified
by the people at the next general
election.
His death alone might intervene
prevent, but political manipulation
cannot alter the edict of fate"
Along this same line, the follow
ing, taken from the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, is interesting:
Gov. Adolph O. Eberhart has
entered upon his administra ton in
succession to Governor Johnson.
Following his accession to power,
politics has commenced to raise it's
voice, and the general impression is
that the Republican leaders have
decided to accept Eberhart and
place him in nomination. There has
been conferences of Republican
leaders-they have canvassed the
situation and apparently believe that
good politics, if nothing else, de-
mands the nomination of the COVER
nor to succeed himself.
Most of the men who have been
mentioned for the governorship
seem to entertain the same opinion.
William E. Lee of Todd county,
who had practically announced his
candidacy, is quoted as having
said in the lobby of the Merchants
hotel that it was all over and that
be would not enter the race.
Ripley Brewer has not been heard
from and the only man who is ap-
parently unwilling to accept the
situation is Robert c.. Dunn of
Princeton.
Mr.. Dunn is in St. Paul and the
lighting statesman from Princeton
is giving it out that he may enter
the race.

Instead of 1900 baskets of peaches and

from small sturgeon Of immature growth.
There are at present 1000 such eggs in
Pennsylvania hatcheries at TorrssdaIe.
Mr.. Meehan says that the report that he
expected to have a million sturgeon eggs
in short time was rather extravagant,
although il the eggs could be procured
and successfully hatched it would be one
Of the greatest or fish propagation feate
ever accomplished.
The announcement has been OF special
interest to fishermen and fish dealers be.
cause Of the fact that the Delaware River,
which 20 years ago literally swarmed with.
sturgeon, might be restocked and profit

practically became exterminated score
of years ago to satisfy the demand for
Russian casiare The difference between
this delicaey and sturgeon flesh was so
slight when properly prepared that the
demand for the dish soon depleted the
supply Of the fish in the Delaware.
Speaking Of sllad fishing, MIR. Meehan
