John Rowland, 13 years old, who COM
manded Ohio and Mississippi river
steamers a half century ago, came
all the way here from London just TO

that was all. There was not a packet
at the wharf, general spring naviga-
ton not having opened up, and the
old river men of Captain Rowland's
day was gone too. The Captain and
his wife, Mrs. Mary Scott Rowland, a
lecturer, started back toward New
York.
a friend of mine in New Orleans
told me how it would be- said the
Captain before he left the city. But
| did not know it would make me feel
SO bad. l wrote this friend that |
was coming over to see the river for
the first time since 1887. He wrote
back:
Come and look at it: go down to
the bank and drop tear in it, 1t
probably will be the last time you will
ever see it. And when you have seen
it. you will never want to see it again

And do you know, l never want to
see it again. 1t is so changed. Ev-
erybody ! asked about was dead AS
to Mark Twain, he never was a good
river man. He was a born writer. OF
course. we didn't know that when he
was on the river, but all the old fel-
lows knew there was something ailing

REFUSED BLACKHAND; SHOT.
Young Farmer Attacked When He
Neglected to Leave Money.

Beloit, Kan, May S.-After receiving
a series of letters demanding the pay
ment of money and threatening to kill
him if the demands were not complied
with, Robert Balou, young farmer
who lives ten miles northeast of here,
was shot Saturday night while enter
ing his own barn.
Balou had been in Beloit, and when
he started into his barn to put his
horse away, a man whom he could not
recognize fired twice at him. Both his
assailant's bullets passed through his
arm, fnjuring him painfully, but not
dangerously.
Balou fired five times at his assail-
ant, but it was SO dark that he does
not believe he hit the man.
A week ago Balou received a letter
through the mail, demanding that he
leave 800 under a certain stone on the
farm where he lives This BaIou did
not do, and that night while he was in
Scottsvilfe, a village nearby, some one
entered the house, leaving a letter IN
which he said he had come to kill
Balou, but would put it off awhile.
Then Balou received a card through the
mail saying he would not be harmed.
Balou has been carrying a revolver
since he received the first letter.
A week ago Saturday night Riley
Finn, a farmer living a mile north of
the place on which Balou lives. received
letter demanding that 81 900 be left at
a designated place last Thursday night.
