A Dead Body Floating in the River.

Wednesday as a couple of
young men living in Waverly and
Malta Bend, were coming down
the river in a motor launch, they
discovered the body of a man
floating. They brought the
corpse here and the coroner,
DR.. F.. Mann, held an inquest.
The body was bloated and so
discolored that it could not be
determined whether he was
colored or white. Was about 30
years of age, a large well built
man weighing, probably, $50
pound. He was buried as un-
known in the Cemetery here. II
is just another of the untold
secrets of the resistless river.

They Forget The Farmer.

Hogs at eight cents per pound
and wheat a one dollarp per bushel
sounds good'' to the American
farmer, yet he is not without his
troubles, for because of the work
ings of a robber tariff, he is com
PEELED to give a large part of his
income to the millionaire manu-
facturers, who seem to own con-
gress.
When each of one hundred
different manufacturing com
munities gets protection on its
particular pet output, the farmer
must pay an excessive price for
all. Our representatives. mis-
representatives. congress are
carrying this pat-me on the back
and1ll-pat-you policy too tar.
If the lead mining district is to
get what it wants, the cotton
goods manufacturers to get what
they want, and so on down the
the line, what is to be left for the
American farmer after he pays
tribute to all?
Missouri is an agricultural
state, and the senators and rep
resentatives who fail to recognize
this fact should be retired &c

possible, no matter whether they
call themselves Democrats OF

ENGLAND LACKS HORSES.

The census of horses set going by
the government in Devonshire is
nearly complete; and it is found
that the police had nearly all the
facts already accumulated.
The result of the census is likely
to be alarming. 1t is not so much
that the number of horses has fallen
off-though there is probably a de-
crease of at least $4,000 foals in
England-as hal the right type is
wanting. The other day, at special
request, a government buyer of re-
mounts, accompanied by a professor,
went down to Cornwall to purchase.
A hundred horses were specially
collected and paraded; but of the
100 only six were selected as sound

1868, because in some art notes the
poet wrote Of "the splendid cat,
which was painted in the picture.
The picture was bought, presumably
before Swinburne's eulogium had
appeared, by a person of some dis
tinction. Years afterward, in 1895,
Mr.. w. NJ. Rossetti had occasion to
look at this painting in the house
of the original heir. To his sur

"Why,' said Rossetti, 'there used to

FATAL ENDING OF
 RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
CARL GUSTAFSoN DIED TESTER.
 DAY MORNING.
The Funeral Will Be Held This After
 noon at Half Past Two.

The accident to Carl Gustafson, which was mentioned briefly in yes terday mornings paper. terminated fatally. the injured man passing away at 1:2O yesterday morning.
 The accident is one of the most de plorable in the history of Tempe and the entire community is deeply grieved over the occurrence. MT Gustafson was a valuable man in this section. Re was a capable engineer and for some years has had charge of the Tempe Pumping company's plant as well as having supervision at the same time over the city's pumping plant. He was a man of good education, prominent in lodge circles and highly regarded by every one in the Tempe district His untimely end is deeply regretted by all and the sincerest sym pathy of the people of Tempe is ex- tended to his surviving wife.
 The distressing accident occurred about ' o'clock Wednesday evening MT. Gustafson and Andrew Nielsen were driving together along the creamery road in the latter's convey ance. A dog jumped out from behind Q fence and the horse suddenly whirl- ed. Mir Nielsen fell first and MT. Gus tafson was thrown to the ground per haps a hundred feet further down the road. MT. Nielsen was rot seri ously injured though he suffered
 number of painful bruises. There l a difference of opinion as to exactly what happened to Mir. Gustafson Either he struck a telegraph poe. wa kicked by the horse or came in vio,en: contact with a rock. At a-.- rate th' right side of his face was almost com pletely crushed. The right eye vas totally destroyed and the upper jaw crushed. In addition to this. his nose was broken and there were several se we're scalp wounds. MT Neilsen ran to his companion as soon as he gath cred himself up from the dirt and found him unconscious with the blood pouring from his wounds. Doctors Moore and Brechan were hurriedly summoned and the injured man was taken to his home. IL appeared to the physicians at once that he stood little chance Of surviving the shock. but ev- erything possible was done for his comfort but to no avail. Though he partially regained consciousness, sui ficient to recognize his wife. he lin gered but a few hours and died as above stated at 1:20.
 The funeral will be held this after noon at half past two o'clock from the Congregational church and will be conducted by Rev. Hardin. pastor of the church. The services will be under the auspices of the Masons. the Knights of Pythias. and the odd Eel lows. the deceased being a member of those three orders. At the gray, the final services will he according to the ritual of the Masonic order

Manuel Mazon has been engaged to have charge of the preparation of the tables and that portion of the dinner that the board supplies and it is hoped to have the dinner start at twelve sharp. The time is limited as Saturday will be busy day with the merchants. Let every one come and be prepared to eat at noon sharp.

A Disastrous conflssration Yesterday at Noon.

The Matley warehouse in East Tenn pc was partially destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. Just how the conflagration started. no one seems to know. There was long delay for some ineXplainable reason in turning in the alarm for the smoke was ap- parent at least ten minutes before those down town had any intimation that it was more serious than a brush fire. The two companies made prompt responses. however. as soon as the alarm was sounded and through the work of the department part of the building was saved.
 The warehouse was well filled with baled hay. about 800 bales being stor- ed there While not all of this was burned. it is almost a total loss and that which was not destroyed was damaged beyond use. The contents of the building were partially insured. It was a bad day for fire. a stiff breeze was blowing at the time.

ANOTHER TALK
 ON ADVERTISING
SPECIAL SALES AND INDUCE
 MENTS TO BUYERS.
chants Know How 70 Get Business.

The merchants of Tempe devote q lot of space in the Tempe department of this paper this morning to announc- ing special inducements to buyers.
 The w Lukin Cash store has an at tractive half page ad fin which it gives a few samples of the prices that pre- vail at its store during the big closing out sale This sale commenced Tues day morning of this week and has been very successful. The sale will continue indefinitely as everything will be disposed of.
 The J. J. Hodnett store advertises an anniversary sale that lasts six days. It was just ten years ago that the firm received it's first shipment of goods here and since that time a strong and substantial business has been built up. A rare proposition Is made to buyers. the full particulars of which may be found in the ad.
 Geach and Geach advertise a Fri day and Saturday special. just before Easter sale. This firm has made a speciality of Easter novelties and is handling a stock that is a credit to Tempe. Some excellent offers are made in their ad today and it will be worth your time to read it as well as the other ads on the Tempe page.
 At this time the great advancement the Tempe merchants. that is most of them. have made in recent years is worth noting. A few years ago ad- vertising here was almost unknown. That the merchants have learned the value of newspaper space in a paper that is read by the people is plainly indicated by the appearance of the Tempe page this morning.
