WHERE sEAMEN CAN DIE CHEAP
Costs Only so Cents to Bury Tar
at Cairo, Ill.

Washington, June 26.-The cheap
est place in the world for seaman to
die is Cairo, ILL.,, where his funeral
will cost him only so cents, according
to contracts let to-day by the United
States public health service covering
the entire country and serving as an
index to the high or the low cost of
illness Or death. The cheapest place
for a seaman to be sick is Bridgeport,
Conn, where the Government has OBJ
tanned a contract for medical atten-
tion and nursing at - cents per day.
In other parts OF the country the cost
ranges from 81 to So per day.
The cost of funerals varies from so
cents in Cairo to S36 in Philadelphia
and $50 in ketchikan, Alaska. OFF,
cials explain that the low cost in
many cities is due to the fact that
seamens relief stations are located
there and the only service the con-
tract undertaken performs is to turn
the body over to the relief organiza-
ton for burial.

HENS SWIM AND DIVE.
Fowl Fancier Says They Also Catch
Trout and Now Lay Fishy Eggs.

Expert research has disclosed the
reason that the patients at the For
esters Sanitarium at Rainbow Lake
have had to complain of fish flavor
in their eggs.
The institution has its own poultry
yard. extending to the edge of the
Lake whittier the ducks repair for
swimming and the hens for drink.
Recently the keeper of the hens got
up extra early in the morning and
was confounded when he saw dozen
of his hens floating on the lake in the
midst of the flock of ducks. They
we're diving, too, and coming up with
infant trout, which they brought to
shore to devour.
The hennery man, who is also Dl-
ologist, says it is a characteristic ac-
ouired through long association with
the ducks. He will segregate the
hens and ducks hereafter, for, al
though he has no objection to SWIM
ming hens, he feels that the flavor
of the eggs directly concerns his own
eputation.-Saranac Lake, \. Y,

Dispensary Election in Sumter County

Sumter, June 27.-County Super
visor Pitts has ordered an election to
be held in August to vote for or
against the dispensary in Sumter
county. Mr.. Pitts went over the reg
istration books carefully and after
eliminating the names of those not
qualified he found that more than
one-third of the qualified electors had
signed the petition. A petition has
been circulated by the anti-dispen-
saryites asking that the names of
some who had signed the dispensary
petition be taken from said petition;
this matter has not been settled, but
if the court does hold that this is
legal there will still be great many
more names than the one-third neces-
sary for an election. The anti-dispen-
sary people are satisfied with the
count and the general prediction is
that the dispensary will win by two
to one in Sumter county.

Small Boy Killed by Liquor.

Union, June 25.-Drinking some dis
pensary liquor on Saturday afternoon
caused a negro boy living near Kelton
to have terrible convulsions and die
On Sunday night.
The boy was named David Moody
Smith, aged nine years, whose mother
and father are both dead, and who
lived On Mr.. R. S. Fowler's place.
1t seems that On Saturday some OF
his relatives had been to Union and
got lot of one K corn liquor from
the dispensary here, and on returning
to their home gave the lad drink.
Later he went to the place where
they had put it and drank as much
of the fiery fluid as he could hold.
Not long after he began having ter
rible convulsions which continued un-
til 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon when
he went into a stupor, from which he
never aroused again, death coming
at midnight.
Monday morning Coroner L. B.
Godshall went to the scene to make
an investigation, but finding no
grounds for suspicion that the boy
had been willfully mistreated no in
quest was held.

Buffalo, n Y, June 27.-One hun

al leadership of E. NJ Hustled, presi-
dent of the Hustled Milling Company,
whose plant was wrecked by grain
dust explosion Tuesday with great
loss of life, to-day continued the
search for bodies believed to be burn
ed beneath tons of steel, concrete and
charred timbers.
The death list stood at fourteen to-
day, with the likelihood that it would
be augmented before nightfall, the
condition of several of the injured
having grown more critical. The
missing list now carries twelve
names, nine of whom the police, fire.
men and company officials feel posi-
tive will be found in the ruins.
In response to published appeals
twenty persons, two Of them women,
have volunteered to supply skin to
save the fire victims, Many others
have telephoned the hospitals to the
same effect and the surgeons do not
anticipate any difficulty in securing
the 10000 square inches required.
Among those who volunteered to-
day to part with portion of their
skin was Mayor Louis P. Fuhrmann.
The offer was made secretly by the
mayor but became public through
hospital physicians. Other than to
confirm the fact the mayor would
not discuss the matter.

CAUGHT UNDER FALLING TENT.
Coolheaded Work of Florence Men
Saves Panic During Storm.

Florence. June 21.-But for the
cool headness of strong men there
would have been a serious affair at
the Chatauqua tent. on the grounds
of the Y. NJ. C. A. last night.
Just after the evening performance
was begun, and afterthe throng of IN
terested patrons of the Chatauqua
had been seated, severe storm, ac-
companied by terrific wind, lightn-
ing and rain swooped down upon the
city, and in few seconds a large
part of the tented canvas came tum-
bling down.
Ladies dressed in their finery, men
in their evening suits and children
dressed in summer apparel were
caught under the canvas. and in
few seconds were drenched to the
skin with the terrible downpour Of
rain.
AS soon as the tent collapsed the
men, who with GOODNESS Of head and
strong arms began to grapple at the
poles that held the tent in position
and to tug at them to hoist them back
into position. This was almost an i'm
possibility, as the already heavy can
vas was made doubly heavy by the
weight of water puddled in spots. 1t
was Soon seen that serious trouble
was in sight. The men then quick
ly stood, and with their hands ele-
waited to such a height as permitted
the ladies and children to pass out
into the terrific rain that was pelting
down from the heavens. 1t did not
take but few moments for every one
under the tent to get severe drench-
ing before they could get to the Y. NJ.
C. A. building nearby for shelter.
During the excitement only one or
two children were jostled and not a
single person was in any way injured,
which was remarkable, and only goes
to show what cool headedness anc
strength amount to in such time.

MAY BE WORK OF LIGHTNING
Some Seem to Think House Caught
Fire During Storm.


Lexington, June 2S.-What now
appears to be one of the most shock
ing tragedies in the history of the
lState occurred at an early hour TINS
morning, two miles south OF Peak
Station, in the Dutch Fork section OF
this county, when the entire family OF
John D. Jacobs, consisting of himself,
his wife and four children, were muir
dered and the house burned over
their dead bodies.
This morning at I o'clock Sheriff
Miller was notified of the occurrence
by long distance telephone. He left
at once by automobile, taking the
county blood-hounds with him. He
made thorough investigation, but
mo trail could be picked up by the
dogs. So far he is in possession of no
definite clues.
MAGISTRATE Frick held an inquest
over the charred remains soon otter
the arrival of the sheriff. Several wit
nesses were sworn, but little lnfor-
nation was gained. The verdict of
the jury was that the several mem
bers of the family had come to their
death at the hands of party or par
ties unknown to the jury. jacobs
was 40 years old, his wife 40. The
children were Ellen, % years of age,
a graduate of Winthrop College, and
for three years teacher in the Little
Mountain High School; three boys,
Leslie, age IS; Hugh, Is, and Owen,
~.
All of the bodies were found as if
they had been in bed when they met
death, except one of the boys, who was
lying in front of the fireplace. BY him
was a double barrel shotgun contain
ing one empty shell and one loaded.
Near Mr.. Jacobss body was another
gun so badly burned that nothing
could be told from it; near one of the
smaller boys was an axe. Mrs. Jacobs
was in bed alone, her skull broken
in and pool of blood under her neck
and shoulders. Miss Ellen was found
in another room with her skull bro
ken to pieces. One of the smaller
boys was found lying face down with
much blood under his chest.
Sheriff Blease, of Newberry, was
on the scene to-day and promised to
help apprehend the guilty parties. 1t
is thought by some that lightning was
the cause of the deaths, though many
things point toward foul play.
1t was generally known that Jacobs
kept but little money at home, so that
intent to rob hardly explains the
crime, if such it was.
