Dean said: "I took this means of
getting money, as | thought | could
do more good with it than those who
had it. had not thought Of the anx-
iety the kidnapping of Empey would
cause the family"
After abducting Empey at the
point Of a gun at his ranch 40 miles

Richland, July 26.-Special: De-
spite the abundance Of rain that we
had several weeks ago, crops in this
community are beginning to suffer
for rain. The crops have been we'll
worked and there is very little grass
anywhere now. Cotton is rather
small, but with favorable weather
would make an average yield. Corn
is needing rain badly, for this is the
critical period in it's growth.

fighting.
"On the Narew front the enemy
continues unsuccessfully to attgck

hundreds Of living creatures to the
water.
Grab Anything i'm Reach.
Many sank, tntangled with cloth
ing and bundles, and did not rise.
but hundreds came to the surface,
seized tioating chairs and other OBJ
jects. Persons on shore threw out
ropes and dragged in those who
could hold these life lines. EN-
ployeeS of commission firms along
the river threw crates, chicken coops
and other hoatable objects into the
water but most of these were swept
away by the current.
Boats put out, tugs rushed to the
scene with shrieking whistles and
many men jumped into the river to
aid the drowning. With thousands
OF spectators r Nv to aid and the
wharf within g,,.s hundreds went
to death despite every effort at
rescue.
One mother grasped her two chill
dren in her arms as she slipped from
the steamer into the water. One
child was torn from her, but she and
the other were saved. Fathers were
drowned after aiding their wives and
children to safety.
One man was seen to cling 10 a
spike in the side Of the wharf, while
two women and three children
stepped upon his body to safety. He
fell exhausted into the river as the
last one Of the five reached the pier.
Instances Of heroism were almost
as numerous as the number Of per-
sons on the scene. Boats as soon as
full took rescued passengers to the
wharf or to the steamer Theodore
Roosevelt, which was tied up oppo-
site the Eastland.
Bodies Floating Down River.
In an hour the water was cleared
Of excursionists. Those who had not
been taken to land had sunk or were
swirling down the river towards the
drainage canal locks at Lockport,
Ill.,. many miles away. The locks
were raised to stop the current and
arrangements were made to take
bodies from the river along it's
course through the southwest mart of
Chicago.
Shortly after the water was cleared
city, Htfremen and workmen were on
theQ Qexposed side Of the Eastland's
hull, cutting through its steel plates
with gas flames. Divers were hur-

No sooner had the needs OF the SOL

vised a scheme to improve the few
leisure minutes the mattresses had

generous contributions of money made
by the young woman students. Mrs.
Seger bought large quantity of gray
wool and knitting needles. She gave
a quantity to each of the mattresses,

The American Calf.

Deer hunters are forbidden to kill
fawns in most American states. There
are laws to protect the baby seal.
Game fish under a certain size have
their lives insured by official regula-
ton. How does it happen. then, that
the American butcher goes on slaugh.
tering the American calf, slashing at
the throat of the nations meat and
dairy supply, without audible protest
from any quarter? The heifer calls
place in our system of table economy
is not matter of guesswork or the
DRY. The calf that is eaten as veal
never develops into beef, nor can it
continue the race of it's valuable kind.
1t is contention of experts that a
very definite reason for our dwindling
beef supply is the unrestricted slaugh-
ter of very young Philadel-
phia Telegraph.

AS VIEWED BY PHILOSOPHER
Happiness Not Always to Those Who
Make Great Catches in the
Worlds Fish Pond.

We have seen men absorbedly fish
ing for wealth, and we imagine that
when they fail to get it they are de-
feated and disappointed. Neither one.
The only men who are defeated in
this worldly fish pond are the ones
who haul up great bags of gold on
their hooks. They are very soon bur-
dened with the catch, and unable to
march comfortably farther along the
road. The only disappointed ones are
those who have no real purpose in
life, and suppose that fishing is an
end in itself.
/ had great-uncle once who died
quite happy and bankrupt. Through
out his life he was brilliantly full of
schemes for making fortune. But IL
his patent Touring mill had ever sue
ceeded, or his method for tanning
leather had brought him wealth. so
that he had been obliged to have two
houses and 20 servants and several
suits of clothes and bills and accounts
and lawsuits, l am sure he would
have died miserable.
Unfeeling and misunderstanding
persons are forever plying the old
maids, and especially those who seem
to be always angling for men. But
such behavior seems to me quite in.
telligible and quite pardonable-espe-
cially If they never catch anything.
Having begun this game in early life,
earlier than l began fishing, and hav-
ing founded it on instincts even Deep
er than mine, they would be silly in
deed now to give up so good a sport
just because they have found other,
and possibly more important, objects
in life.-Suburban Life.
