Shot Just in Time.

Nairobi, British East Africa, September
II, Friday-Mr. Creswell, a government
engineer in the public works department
at Nyori, came into Nairobi this afternoon
and brought word that Mr.. Roosevelt had
a very narrow escape when shooting a
bull elephant. When shooting elephants
it is often necessary to crawl into the
herd and shoot the selected bull at a
range of Is to 80 yards. Mr.. Roosevelt,
accompanied by Mr.. Cunninghame, the big
game hunter and guide, followed this
procedure and killed his elephant at the
second shot. Suddenly, before Mr.. Roose-
welt could reload, another bull elephant
charged him at close range from the herd.
Both Mr. Cunninghame and Mr.. Roose-
welt got behind trees and Mr.. Cunning
hame fired and turned the bull from Mr..
Roosevelt just In time.
DR.. William Lord Smith and two com
panions have left for Kapiu plains after
lions. They have been out three months
collecting near Kenia and in the country
where Mr.. Roosevelt Is. They have killed
roughly, 800 specimens to date. They sail
for New York from Mombasa about the
end of the month. The balloonagraph ex-
pedition arrived here yesterday and will
make an ascent In Nairobi. according to
present arrangements.

NEW MARKET FOR
COTTON SEED OIL

Washington, October 1s.-Efforts are
being made to open up Canada as a
market for American cotton seed oil,
and cotton seed meal. The depart
ment of commerce and labor has called
upon United States consular agents in
the dominion to report exclusively on
the subject, and primary reports are
now coming in. For several years past
the United States has exported to Can
ada about 100000 worth of oil an
nually This Is only cents per capita
for the dominion population, while the
exports of meal have not reached 500
GEO a year. THIS is in spite of the fact
that the wholly nutritious articles of
commerce are admitted to Canada free
of duty. In view of Canada's extensive
dairying and animal breeding indus
tries, this government believes some
steps should be taken to acquaint the
dairymen and beef growers of Canada
what the nutritious qualities of these
cotton products will do.

FLIGHT OF BOIL
WEEVIL IS RAPID

New Orleans. October 1S-The Picayune
in its report of cotton crop conditions in
Louisiana and Mississippi, as compiled
last night, has the following TO say:
The boil weevil in its fight eastward
has crossed the line of the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad in Mississippi, and the
farthest advance of the pest isplaced at
a point in Rankin county. four miles east
of the railroad. This is the official state
ment of a representative of the federal
department of agriculture who found the
weevil prevalent in the northern part of
Simpson county and the southern portion
of Rankn.&
Representatives of the government have
waged persistent campaign throughout
the two states for the last six weeks, and
as result both planter and tenant have
been educated up to the theory of ad-
vanced methods in combating weevil raw

to destroy alternating places for the vice.

uanscome cashier of the wrecked First
National bank of Mineral Point. shot and
killed himself at 10 o'clock last night.
When Hanseomes body was removed TO
the home of his mother-in-law. Mrs. John
Gray. She dropped dead Since the failure
of the bank Hanscome had been working
night and day and was very respondent.
Mr.. Hanscome was a brother-in-law of
Phil Allen. Jr.. president of the bank,
for the alleged misuse of whose funds
Allen was arrested last Friday.
The bank, for a generation regarded as
one of the strongest in southwestern Wis
consin, was closed a week ago., after
weeks investigation of the books by
Bank Examiner Goodhart. An attempt
was made to keep the institution on its
feet by the sale of mining property in
which Allen was interested, but the deal
fell through The loss to deposltors, it
is said, will run greatly over 100000
The body was found lying over the
grave of Hanseomes mother, in the FAM
lily plot of the local cemetery. A bullet
wound in his head told the manner of
death.
Phil Allen Jr, vice-president of the
bank, who has been under arrest at his
home since Friday last charged with EN-
bezzling $685. 600 of the banks funds,
stated today that Hanscome was entirely
innocent from wrong-doing in connection
with the banks failure. Hanscome was
IS years old and had been connected with
the First National bank for over % years.
He was a bondsman for Viee-President
Allen on several occasions and the worry
incident to the recent disclosures preyed
heavily on Hanscome's mind.
Mr.. Hanscome left his home Sunday aft
ernoon ostensibly for a walk. As he did
not return home at nightfall his wife
became alarmed and asked some of his
friends to search for him. About midnight
the bankers body was found in the fam
lily lot in the cemetery.
The dead banker is survived by widow
and two daughters No definite statement
as TO the affairs of the First National
bank is expected for several days.

"Unless many, many more cattle are
grown said Mr. Ryan, there can be
no hope of lower prices More are being

down the production will diminish, and
up will go prices again. Unless a great
many more cattle are grown America
will find itself an importer of meat"

Cost of Living Is Hiaher.

Washington, October 1S.-In making an
earnest recommendation for an increase
in salary for first class, Gen. Charles
H. Whipple, paymaster general of the
army, points out that one of the prom

1895 there has been an increase of 49
per cent in the cost of living expenses.
Consequently each year the burden falls
heavier on the salaried employees. No
change has been made in salaries of
clerks in his office since 1870.
