DOWN IN THE DEEP.

The great ocean steamer, the Re-
public, belonging to the White Star
line, during a dense fog off New
York, was Iammed by the Florios
Of the Lloyd line, few days ago.
A large hole was smashed in the
side of the Republic and six people
killed and several ethers hurt.
The Republic was regular ocean
palace and was carrying hundreds
of passengers besides her crew. The
vessel was soon seen to be In a
dangerous condition and the pas
sengers and crew were transferred
to the Florida. This vessel was
much evercrowded and was also
found to be damaged.
Then both sets of passengers were
transferred to the Baltic. AS soon
as the collision happened wireless
messages were seat out over the
water and were caught by a number
of vessels which hastened to the
assistance of the crippled vessels,
the Baltic being one of the number.
Vessels we're hooked on to the
Republic and she was being towed
to port. All was going we'll till,
almost without notice, the Republic
settled down and dropped out of
sight beneath the waves.
This incident shows the great
value of the wireless telegraphy.
After the accident the wireless mes
sage was sent broadcast and soon a
number of vessels were ploughing
their way at full speed to the scene
of the accident.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT BILL.

We are in receipt of copy of q
good roads bill, Senate Bill No. II,
through the courtesy of Senator
Cambern, that seems to be looking
Ia the right direction.
The main features of the bill are
as follows:
1t gives the people of any COM
munity the right to petition to the
county commissioners for the i'm
provement of any piece of road in
auy manner they may choose.
A ajority petition by those i'm
mediately interested and owning
land along the section of road to be
Improved requires the county COM
missioners to order the road i'm
proved as prayed for. Three fourths
of the cost to be assessed to the
property owners and the other one
fourth to the township in. which the
road is located. This county to
build all bridges and culverts, and
do all surveying, mapping and To-
eating.
The payment for this improve
ment may be divided up into ten or
less equal assessments and paid with
the general taxes.
1t seems to US that this bill, in a
general way, is all right. 1t may
need some doctoring and fixing up
and it seems to US the township or
county or the two together should
be required to pay half of the ex
pense.
Everybody gets the benefit of
these improved roads and it will be
quite tax on the land owners to
pay so large a percentage ofthe cost
when many of them will receive no
greater a benefit than some others
who live just outside of the taxable
district.

European eyes had seen no such
river till now. 1t was the Missis-
sippi One of their number describes
the great stream as almost half a
league wide, deep, rapid, and
constantly rolling down trees and
driftwood ON its current.
The Spaniards crossed over at a
point above the mouth of the Arkan
sas. Here they resumed their
journeying, for De Soto would not
yet admit that he had failed. They
advanced westward, but still found
no reasures-nothipg indeed but
hardships, and an Indian enemy
"furious as mad dog" as one of
their officers wrote.
The Spaniards in their disappoint-
ment were cruel and pitiless. They
amused themselves by inficting
pain upon the prisoners; they cut
off their hands, hunted them with
bloodhounds, burned them at the
stake. Hoping to awe the Indians,
De Soto once claiued to be one of
the gods. But the natives were not
to be imposed upon; and a wise
savage asked him, elbow can you
pretend to be god when you can
uot even get bread to eat?"
And now the utter failure Of the
expedition could no longer be con-
cealed; SO De Soto, with his fol-
lowers, returned to the banks of
the Mississippi.
Here, soon afterward, De Soto was
attacked by a fever, and died
miserably. His soldiers felled
tree, and scooped room within its
trunk for the body of the Inflated
adveRtursr. They could not bury
their chef on land, lest the Indians
should dishonor mis- remains. In
the silence Of midnight the crude
coffin was sunk in the Mississippi,
and the discoverer of the great river
slept beneath its waters.
The Spaniards now resolved to
make their way to Cuba. They
had tools, and wood was abundant;
so they built and launched seven
brigs to float them down the Missis
slppi. They slew their horses for
flesh, they plundered the Indians
for bread, they struck the fetters
from their prisoners to secure their
scanty supply of iron.
Embarklng in their frail vessels,
the SpaAiards descended the Missis-
sippi, running the gauntlet between
hostile tribes who fiercely attacked
them. After severe loss they
reached the Gulf of Mexico, and
thea made their way to one of the
Spanish settlements. Three hun
dred ragged aud disheartened men
were all that remained of the bril-
liant company whose hopes had
been so high, and whose good
fortune had been so much eAVied.

CAUGHT In the Act.

Robert Stockton who runs a store
at the corner of Highland and 18th
has been burglarlzed several times
lately.
The thief was rather modest In
his demands each time, only taking
such things as tobacco, candy,
maple sugar, syrup and soap.
Last Sunday night Mr.. Stockton
was aroused and told that some one
was breaking into his store. He
took a gun and went around to the
side of the building and found a
young man trying to force an entry
through the window. He took the
young man in and called up the
police. A policeman soon called
for him and he was locked up.
The young man proved to be
Tillman Bailey, II years old. He
is the SON of the man Bailey who got
into scrap year or so ago with
some stranger in his own house and
had his arm SO badly cut that ampu-
tation was necessary.
This young man has confessed to
the other burglaries and told where
the goods were hid. He will get to
take up his residence at the reformi-
tory for few years.

DE SOTO AND HIS MEN.
(From an old school reader)

strange races of human beings, an
eager wish for new discoveries arose.
The widest romances were greedily
received; and the old world, with its
familiar realities, seemed mean be,
side the glories of the new.
To the Spaniard of that day
America was a region of wonder
and mystery, of vague and mag
nifcent promise. Thilher adven>
turers hastened, thirsting for glory
and fer gold. They roamed over
land and sea; they climbed unknow
mountains, surveyed unknow oceans,
and pierced the depths of tropical
forests while from year to year and
from day to day new marvels were
unfolded-new islands and archipel
Agoes, new regions Of gold and
pearl, and barbaric empires of daz
cling wealth.
1t is interesting to read the stir
ring adventures of Certez, who con
quered Mexico, and OF Pizarro, who
overcame Peru. But as these
things do not strictly concern the
story of our country, we will give
an account of one OF the most re-
markable of the Spanish adveAturers
.-Hernando De Soto, the discoverer
of the Mississippi.
De Soto was the companion of
Pizarro in the conquest of Peru.
He had come to America a needy
adventurer, but returned to Spain
enriched by his share of the plunder.
Not doubling that In the north were
cities as rich, and barbarians as
coniding, he obtained permission
from the Spanish sovereign 10 con
quer Florida.
This name, as the Spaniards of
that day understood it, included
the whole country extending from
tae Atlantic on the east to New
Mexico on the west, and from the
Gulf Of Mexico and the River of
of Palms indefinitely northward to-
ward the Polar Sea
The plans of De Soto were hailed
with enthusiasm. Mobiles and
gentlemen contended for the
privilege of joining his standard.
The youth of SPAN we're eager to
be permitted to 60 and they sold
houses and land to buy the needful
equipment.
From the crowd of applicants
were chosen six hundred and twenty
men; and in 1889 the expedition
sailed, high in courage, splendid in
show, and boundless in expectation.
They landed in Tampa Bay, In the
present State of Floridr, and began
their march into the wilderness.
What strangely brilliant spec
tacle the expedition must have pre-
sentedl How the clangor of trum-
pets the neighing of horses, the hut-
tering of pennons, the glittering
of helmet and lance, must have
startled the ancient forest! The
Spaniards had with them fetters for
the Indians whom they meant to
take captive, and bloodhounds lest
these captives should escape.
From the outset it was a toilsome
and perilous enterprise; bat to the
Spanlard OF that time danger was
joy. The Indians were warlke and
generally hostile. De Soto had
battles to fight and heavy losses to
bear. For month after month the
procession of cavaliers and priests,
and Indian captives,
wandered on, lured hither and
thither by hope of fndiAg some
great city, the plunder of whose
palaces and temples would enrich
them all.
But they found nothing better
than here and there an Indian town
composed Of few wretched wig
vans. In this way they traverssd

KILLED HER FATHER
TO PREVENT MURDER
An Indian Girl Stays Parent Because
lie Threatened 10 XIII His Two
Young Sons.

Winnipeg. Feb. ia weird tale
Of a young Indian girl staying her
father to save his soul from perdi-
tion has been brought in from the
Lake Nipigon country. The Indian
had killed his best friend and it so
preyed upon his mind that ne came
to believe the only way To save his
soul was TO give up his own life.
His friends refused his request to
kill himsso he placed an AK in his
daughters hands ana commanded her
to DO so. She at first declined, but
when her father told her he would
commit more murders unless she did,
she consented. She ordered her par
ent TO stand with his back to her, and
swinging the AK with all her strength,
she severed his head from his body.
1t is held by the police investigating
the case that the killing was in self
defense as the father had threatened
TO take the lives OF his two young
sons II his daughter did not kill him.

STOP BULL FIGHTING
IN A MEXICAN STATE
An Educator at TosTcon Says IL Caus-
ed Decline of spsfh. and Fcars
for Mexico. m,e

Torreon, Mexico. Feb. 19.-In how
grea, degree has bull fighting to do
with the decline of Spain as world
power? This question is raised by
Ondres Osuna, director of public ed
ucation. who has asked the state gov
ernment Of Coahuila to enact an or
der prohibiting school teachers and
children from attending bull fights.
Senor Osuna contends that wit
Messing such brutal exhibitions tends
to harden the minds of school chill
dren and make them unfit for citi-
zenship. The bull ring. contends Os-
una has been responsible for the de-
cline of Spain as a world power, just
as gladitorial contests and similar
bloody exhibitions caused the decline
OF the Roman empire.
Whatever action may be taken by
the state government it is a fact that
the sentiment against bull lighting is
gradually growing among the best ell
ement in Mexico
