his lawyers by leaving the train

with Sunday crowds and before
they could be got out with any
semblance of order, the Kermesz
was afire. The crowds became
panic-stricken and men, women

cape. The exits became checked
with the struggling Masses and
men used their fists to clear the
pathway. Many were trampled
under foot and badly injured.

engulfed the Italian, Russian,

houses on the Avenue Solbosch,

destroyed.

not less than 100000 persons
were circulating in the ground

vestibuled train over the Balti-
more and Ohio for ST. Louis in
quest of some money we were
about to lose. This train
made but four stops in the
$50 miles making the distance
in a little more than three hours.
We passed through the heart of
the great oil fields of Illinois
where the derricks are thick as
far as the eve could see on either
side of the track and for miles
and miles the large tanks simply
covered the earth. The wheat
crops looked poor for so rich a
wheat country. and strange TO
Us the crop was all stacked. not
exceeding twenty straw piles in
evidence the entire way.
A very strange sight was the
vast number of fine orchards,
that were as barren as the fig
tree that was useed by the
blessed Saviour. Out of the
thousand and thousand of acres
of fruit trees we saw on the
round trip not a vestige of fruit
of any kind.
On our return trip we were
routed over the l.. x N. TO
Evansville over which route we
failed to see as rich country in
any product, corn being exceed
ingly poor, not one good field
did we see over this route.
Strange to us on this last route,
was several large fields of sun
flowers, but as we had no one to
tell US what they were raising
the product for we paid little a t.
tention to it.
In all the rich corn belt from
Henderson through Indiana and
Illionis on our trip going, it was
very weedy. But on our arrival

announced. number thirty. but

Animals Left To Fate
AS the flames reached the me-
nagerie, it was decided TO shoot
the beasts, but the heat drove
back the soldiers and the ami
mails were left TO their fate.
The multitude Of people were
driven back 20 a safe distance
and watched the thrilling spec
tacle of the destruction of the
white city. Tongues of fire
mounted high into the heavens
and flaming embers were carried
off by the wind and fell upon
the residences beyond setting
them on fire.
The fire was finally got under
control. but the Belgian and
English sections are in ruins.
while all the other sections. in
Guiding the American, were
partly destroyed.
Bands of thieves engaged in
pillage and a soldier was stabbed
while attempting to arrest men
whom he found rifling jewelry

The aggregate loss is esti-
mated at 500, coo, 900.
