As Thej SI umbered on Board a Pull
Boat.
A dispatch from Mobllo, Ala., says
nine persons, whose names aro not yet
known, ocojpyiog a "pull" boat on
Middle river, willoh runB botween the
Tensas and Albama rlvors, were bum
ed to death Friday in a Uro which de
stroyed thc boat. Sidney Wheat, the
negro steward, was tho only survivor
of tho 1J mon who lived on tho orafb.
Wheat escaped death by being awake
owlr g to illness.
The crackling of burning timbers
warned him In time. Ile Jumped into
ttio rlvor and 9soaped Just as the boat
collapsed. Stewart aud Butt of Mo
bile, who owned to boat, say thore
had been no steam on her for three
days. They were at a loss to accouub
for the burning of tho vessel.
According to Wheat's story the nine
men wero r/ump?d into a roaring fur
nace whllo some of them wore asleep.
Thoy were roasted alive. The boat
was used by mon who were engaged In
getting logs out ol narrow placw for
raftlrg purposes, lt **as constructed
somewhat similar to a el edge boab
and bad a sbiucbure for sheltering the
machinery and apartments lu willoh
the orew and employes lived.
In this case those on the vessel oc
cupied the second story of the struc
ture. The lire had evidently been
burning for some time when Wheat
was awakened. Ile says he rushed In
and yelled to the others to get out as
fast as bhey oould as the boab was
burning. Ile dues not kno v wheather
any of the men heard him. Ho leaped
from the vessel Into the rlvor and a
moment labor tho vessel collapsed,
precipitating che other men Into the
blazing hull.

RHKUMACIDE goes right to the seat of the disease, sweeps

RHEUMACIDE has cured thousands of cases after all

by half a dozen bottles of Rheumacide. G. Dietrich, of

ooo,ooo in a Y oar.
Tho extent to which the crops cf
the United States are ravaged by in
sets is scarcely realized by tire pub
lic. Tho Rubjeot ls thus referred to
by C. Arthur Williams In the Success
Magazine:
"Ttie proceeds from the wheat crop, j
tho average annual farm valuo of j
which may bo roughly put at $100,
000,000, have In more than one year
been cut down as much as 60 per cent
as a result of the cninoh bug and the
hessian Hy. Klug cotton alone was
damaged to the extent of nearly $50,
000,000 by the so -called Mexican boll
weevil in tiro siegle state of Texas in
1903, according toa carefully com
piled report issued by the census bu
reau. The apple crop has been re
duced aB much as 25 por c;nt in many
Instances through thc operations of
thc codling motil and other Insects.
So one might go through tho entire
list. Toe burden ls distressingly
heavy, but lt is safe to assert that
farmors themselves-who, obvlcudy,
ought to know as much of this phase
of thc matter as aoybo-'y-will egree j
that their losses, In practlcilly every ?
instance, would be far gr? aler were j
tlie Bolentitle knowledge of Mic ch part |
ment of agriculture's ste IT rot put
to account. A careful inirvey of the j
facts leads to tim conclusion that tho
total da nagc each year would be from
two to f ur times as largo were it
not for the department of agricul
ture's unreraitth'g warfare against
the posts, and that amalmum des
truction of $2,000,000 000, or nearly j
onc-bblf tho whole yearly value of'
the country's crops, at present, would
be possible."
Tiui lOiluoateo Woman,
The time bas come when the edu
cated sve mm can no longer regarded
as a freak. If according to dred lot* I
ions, di -nestle happiness is to fall a j
victim to tho monster, "higher edu

funeral: Toe old fallacy that giris
are not abld to mentally cope with
b >ys in thc quriuilt of classic studies
bas received its deatli blow. Of hon- j
or credontlals Issued tim ugh the year
the lu^er number has been received j
by girls and more wonim aro seeking I
admission to i in; colleges than the)
colleges have room for. The old c-ty |
that women have no use for the higo:
er branches, because she will get
married does not disprove thc fact
that lier trained Intellect renders her
all tho more capable of carrying on to
a satisfactory teJmlhus the manifold
