MISUSE OF NAILS CHARGED.
Man Arrested for Working Alleget
Fake Land Scheme.

Lake Charles, La, Sept. T.
Charged with misuse of the mails in
connection with an alleged fake land
scheme, C. NJ. Fletcher, who processes
to be an artist, and claims Chicago
as his home, was arrested here to
day by United States Marshal B.
Ingouf and postofice inspector
from Beaumont, Texas. He will be
held in Jail pending the next session
of the Federal grand jury.
Fletcher, who has been living here
for three months in cottage north
of West Lake, is said by officers to
have been receiving letters at Sui
phur and other nearby postofices in
reply to the advertisements in
Northern papers of the River Lumber
Company and the Bayou Oil Com
pany, one of which offered Louisiana
timber lands at ten cents an acre.

How Rain BOreS Holes.

When rain falls it does not &C
tually soak into the earth, but bores
it's way in, forming tiny tubes. These
tubes are so small that it would be
impossible to insert a hair in one of
them without bursting its wall. Some
times the tubes are bored down to a
depth of four or five feet. When
the surface dries the water evap-
crates from the tubes just as it
would from a pipe. If the tube is
twisted it takes longer for the wa
ter to evaporate. If one takes a
rake and stirs the ground after each
rain he brakes the tops of the tubes
and the water will stand in them for
months. IN this way the farmers
of the West, on the seml-arid lands,
store the rainfall one year and raise
a crop of wheat every other year
there being sufficient water in two
years, but not enough in one to raise
a crop.-Harper' Weekly.

The Girl With the 100000 Bond.

In the July American Magazine,
Ida M. Tarbell reports the life story
of Garcia Woerishoffer, a rich New
York girl who refused to live the life
of luxury provided for her by wealth
and devoted her life to the struggle
for the Improvement of the conditions
of work for women and girls who
have to earn a living. At one Pc
riod she worked for four months in
laundry under exactly the same
conditions that were imposed upon
the other workers. Later she threw
herself into the trade union move
ment for women, and during the
great shirtwaist strike in the fall of
1909 she had an opportunity to show
what her loyalty to trade unionism
really was. Miss Tarbell goes on to
say:
1T will be remembered that at the
very start of this strike the police
began to arrest the girls generally
and in many cases for practically no
cause. 1t soon became evident that
unless bail could be furnished at a
moments notice hundreds of young
girls would be thrown into jail for
indefinite periods. The courts de-
manded real estate security and there

Orville Wright said the other day
in Dayton:
"Our aim is to make flying safe.
The important thing is not now to
produce aeroplanes that will go $50
miles an hour, but to produce aero

Mr.. Wright smiled.

he went on; "a story about man
who called at biplane selling

A FlOting Farm.

Jenus Soeby's Floating farm is
one of the famous sights of the Co.
lumbia river, writes a contributor
to the Wide World Magazine. All
the buildings are supported by three
rates made of huge pine logs. Soeby,
a veteran of the Spanish American
war, got the idea of a floating house
boat when travelling in China and
Japan, and when he returned home
after the war he built three RATS on
the Columbia river, and on these he
erected a house and warehouse to
keep nets and boats, chicken pens,
and so on; he also made a garden in
which he raised enough vegetables
for the use of his family. Soeby's
farm and inn, floating serenely on
the water, soon became favorite
headquarters for fishing parties.
Here they were housed and fed, and
at night Soeby would play on his old
violin for their entertainment. He
also gave musical lessons. The
farm" was moored in front of the
property of Mr.. G. E. de Long, who
charged Soeby fifty cents a month
rental. When Soeby did not pay his
rent for two years de Long secured
judgment and a writ of ejectment
from the judge of the superior court,
but when the sheriff attempted to en-
force the order the water was too
low to move the RATS. Recently, af-
ter freshet, the water rose, and
George Johnson, deputy sheriff, was
sent to remove Soeby's property. He
hired a river steamer and crew of
half a dozen men, pulled up the an
chors of the RATS, and towed this
unique floating habitation half mile
down the stream where it was an
chored, and where Jenus and his wife
still live.

EXTEND kA{EISCAD.
Work Starts on Grccnyille & Knox
Vile Railway This Month.

Greenville, Sept. 3.-From an Of
fetal source, it is learned that the
work of extension on the Greenville
& Knoxville Railway will begin with
in the next 80 days. Within the past
week engineers have completed the
survey from Davenport to Gap Creek,
a distance of IL miles. This gap is
at lie top of Saluda ridge and the
route laid out by the engineer is on
a grade of 6S feet to the mile. This
is considered remarkably low grade
for a mountain road and is an agree
able surprise to the promoters.
The Gap Creek route is the lowest
across the Blue Ridge mountains be-
tween Richmond and Atlanta. Re-
cent developments certainly mean
that the Knoxville road will be put
through within the next IL months.

YOUNG MEN SENT TO GANG.
Two White Men Pay Penalty for Rob.
bing Hotel at Alcolu.

Manning, Sept. 6.-J. w. Barineau
and N. Hughes, two young white
men, were up before Magistrate D.
J. Bradham this afternoon on a
charge of larceny of some personal
property from the hotel at Alcolu last
Wednesday. They pleaded guilty and
were sentenced each to a fine of
SIS or Is days on the chain gang.
Not having the money to pay the fine,
they were sent out to the gang. They
claim to have come from Charleston,
and had been working in the lumber
mill at Alcolu. While working in the
mill they had boarded at the hotel.

knew would have first place and sew
eral days run. They took from her
instead stories about the strike, and
during that thirteen weeks she prom
ised and gave them material, telling
them that if they published her name
they would never have another story
from her.
Her position as bondsmap did not
end with the shirt-waist strike. From
that time to the time Of her death
she was appealed to by striking
unions - boxmakers, cloakmakers,
cordage workers, tailors, white goods
workers-to go their bond. She let
it be known where she could be found
day and night and never refused a
call at any hour. Her expression in
the shirt-waist strike made her re-
alize the need of a fund for emer-
gencies in time of strike. Don't you
think it would be good thing to
have a strike fund started she said
casually one day to Miss Marot. I
have received an unexpected divi-
dend, and will make the first contri-
button From her tone, Miss Marot
thought that her contribution would
be possibly $500. She handed her a
check for $4,000. It was with that
check that the Strike Council was or
ganiZed."

Hurried to Atlanta.

Cummings, Ca, Sept. 9.-The
sending of Bud Smith, young
gro, to Atlanta for safe keeping af-
ter his alleged confession of the as
sault on a young white girl who was
found unconscious in a ravine near
here to-day prevented probable
Iynching and another outbreak of
race troubles here.
There is little fear of further
trouble here unless the five negroes
arrested last week and placed in jail
at Marietta are brought back for
trial tomorrow. Feeling is running
high and a lynching is threatened if
the blacks are returned to this
county.

Live Rattlers as Neckties.

AS. snake slayer Christian Cali
mer, of Glen Furney, who hunts rat
tiers for their venom as an epilepsy
cure, claims the championship of
Southern Pennsylvania. On the first
Sunday of the month he killed eight
and captured a monster yellow rat
tier alive. Yesterday he killed four
copperheads and one green snake
and caught two rattlers alive, in ad-
dition to pulling part of the hide off
a blacksnake that escaped him.
Calimer presented a terrifying ap-
pearance when he returned from the
last expedition. Two live rattlers
were wrapped around his neck. How
ever, he maintained a firm hold on
their heads, but their tails stood up
right about his ears and kept up a
vigorous rattling.
Rattlesnake venom is being used
here as a possible cure for epilepsy.
A local physician regularly once a
month injects a small quantity OF
snake poison into the arm of young
man who, for a long period, has been
subject to terrible attacks of the af-
Fiction. The poison has been inject
ed into him for about twelve months
and in all that time he has not had a
return of the attacks.-Waynesville,
Pa, telegram to the Chicago Inter
Ocean.

was a great hurry to and fro among
the officers of the League for help.
Garcia at once set out to relieve the
situation. Her mother co-operated
with her, and for one dollar trans
ferred to her daughter real estate to
the value of 100000. There was a
sensation in the court room when she
appeared with her 100000 bond and
made it known that she would remain
in court as long as the strike lasted
and would see that the girls got fair
play.
Her success in escaping newspa-
per notoriety at this time was amaz-
ing. There she was,' says Helen
Marot, 'by all precedent the hero Of
the hour, a romantic parsonage, her
bond veritable fairy wand, releas-
ing the girls from the dreaded con-
finement of prison walls and evil as
sociations. But Carola's integrity was
greater than her romanticism. Be-
fore the first day was over, by sheer
force of chara cter she had turned the
attention from herself to the strikers.
She disarmed the girls in their ex-
preston of gratitude. She even per-

Fatally Hurt in Fight.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Fred Cigranz
was arrested to-day in connection
with the death of Arthur L. Ray
mond, former pitcher of the New
York National league baseball team,
and confessed to assaulting the &C.
centric player while he was witness
ing a semi-profesisonal ball game
here Sunday, September l.
Raymond wah found dead in his
room Saturday and his death at first
was attributed to heart disease, ag-
gravated by heat. Cigranz, who had
been a friend to Raymond for Is
years, said some one threw piece of
pottery into the crowd and it hit Ray
mond in the face. He picked up the
missile and hurled it at Cigranz.
Raymond was worsted by Cigranz in
the fight that followed, the pitcher
being knocked down and kicked sew
eral times. Cigranz said he had no
idea Raymond was seriously injured,
as he was able to proceed from the
ball grounds.
While Cigranz was being taken to
a police station the funeral cortege
of Raymond passed and the prisoner
wept as he told the story of the as
sault.
At the coroner's inquest, which be-
gan to-day, Dr.. Springer reported
that Raymond died from cerebral
hemorrhage, due to a fracture of the
skull. Cigranz will be held pending
the outcome of the inquest.
