FIRE DEVASTATES

riDIAHA LANDS Territory Between Richmond And Chicago Greatly Damaged. MARSH LANDS ARE BURNING HOT RAYS OF SUN DRY THEM UP AND NOW FIRE IS BUSYFARMERS CONSTANTLY ON THE ALERT. i Fire fighting has become the princlpal employment for the farmers along he line of the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville railroad between this city: and Chicago. Probably along no other stretch of railroad track has there been greater damage done. Fields are on fire and burning constantly. Marsh lands have been dried by the burning rays of the sun until they, too, are now burning. Fences and small outbuildings have been destroyed and farmers have plowed furrows about the larger barns and covered hay and straw stacks with wet blankets. Water from wells is so scarce in some vicinities that the blankets are taken to the streams and soaked. Even the streams are so low that cattle refuse to drink the water. Forests have burned through and. although the slow crawling fire has not damaged the growing trees to any great extent all fallen monarchs, stumps and under brush have been cleaned out. Acres of clover land have been burned over and the harvest ruined. Day In and day out for the past month th farmers and their families and neighbors have been contending against the fires. In a few instances the flames have spread to nearby corn fields and the base of the stalks Is bo dry, as to provide further fuel for the fire. Horses are kept hitched to plows and as the fire spreads through the grass, skillful hands seize the plows and run furrows across the fields. All day yesterday, groups of farmers were on watch about the fields with plows and wagons loaded with water and wet blankets. The fire burns with a slow but steady advance and not only the grass and leaves on the surface have been devastated but the roots of the sod have been burned out. Near Kewana is a vast extent of marsh land now in flames. In the spring of the year this land is covered with water and hundreds of acres are of no worth to the farmers. A bog has been formed as the result of the water and heavy vegetation and the ground has a similarity to the peat bogs of Ireland. But this entire section now is dried completely for a depth of three or four feet beneath the surface and is on fire. Already the fierce eating fire has worked through the ground for a depth of one foot. i In a few places the owners of the land have given up all attempts to fight the flames and in these sections, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing but the low hanging smoke hovering above the fields. Seen at night these waste lands present a beautiful but awe inspiring spectacle, as the tongues of flame flicker and leap Into the air as each clump or hummock of grass is reached and fresher fuel is furnished for the minute. The cemetery at Peru has been overrun by the fire. Tall shafts and monuments of marble appear as grim spectres surrounded by the dead black of the burned grass. The cemetery Is about a Quarter of a mile from the tracks and the Intervening distance has been covered by the flames. A condition not unsimllar exists at Amboy. Here, too, the flames have passed through the cemetery. To do so It was necessary to circle a small pond, leap the mud In the bottom of a creek that had almost entirely disappeared and climb a long hillside. Near' Chicago hundreds of acres have been planted with cabbage and sugar beets. Half of this crop is said to be lost at the present time and Nervous Break-Down Nerve energy is tlie force that controls the organs of respiration circulation, digestion and elimination.

NAMES OF ANIMALS. Tne Heanlns of Some of Those Whor Origin We Can Trace. Some of the names of the commonest animals are lost in the dimness of antiquity, such as fox, weasel, sheep, horse, dog and baboon. Of the origin of these the clew, is forever lost. With camel one cannot go further back than the Latin word camelus, and elephant is derived from the old Hindoo word elph, which means an ox. The old root of the word wolf meant one who tears or rends. Lynx is from the same Latin root as the word lux (light) and probably was given to these wildcats on account of the fierce brightness of their eyes. Lion is, of course, from the Latin leo, which word, in turn, is lost far back In the Egyptian tongue, where the word for the king of beasts was labu. The compound word leopard is first fouud in the Persian language, where pars stands for panther. Seal, very appropriately, was once a word meaning of the sea; close to the Latin sal, the sea. Puma, jaguar, tapir and peccary (from paquires) are all names from South American Indian languages. The coyote and ocelet were called coyotl and ocelote by the Mexicans long before Cortes landed on their shores. Moose is from the Indian word mouswah, meaning wood eater; skunk, from seganku, an Algonquin term; wapiti in the Creek language means white deer, and was originally applied to the Rocky mountain goat, but the name is now restricted to the American elk. Caribou is also a native Indian word; opossum is from possowne, and raccoon is from the Indian arrathkune (by further apheresis soon). Rhinoceros is pure Greek, meaning nose horned, but beaver has indeed bad a rough time of it in its travels through various languages. It. is hardly recognizable as bebrus, bubru and bru. The latter is the ultimate root of the English word brown. The original application was doubtless on account of the color of the creature's fur. Otter goes back to Sanskrit, where it is udra. The significance of this word is in its close kinship to udan, meaning water. The little mouse hands Its name down through the years from the old, old Sanskrit, the root meaning to steal. The word rat may have been derived from the root of the Latin word vadere, to scratch, or rodwe, to gnaw. Rodent is derived from the latter term. Cat is also in doubt, but is first recognized in catulus, a diminutive of canis, a dog. It was applied to the young of almost any animal, as the English words pup, kitten, cub, etc. Bear is the result of tongue twisting, from the Latin fera, a wild beast. Deer is of obscure origin, but may have been an adjective, meaning wild. Elk is derived from the same root as eland, and the history of the latter word Is an interesting one. It meant a sufferer, and was applied by the Teutons to the elk of the old world on account of the awkward gait and stiff movements of this ungainly animal. Squirrel has a poetic origin In the Greek language, its original meaning being shadow tail. Tiger is far more Intricate. . The old Persian word tir meant arrow, while tighra signified sharp.- The application to this great animal was in allusion to the swiftness with which the tiger leaps upon its prey.

REPUBLICAN HOUSE NEEDED--ROOSEVELT Writes Letter to Chairman of Republican Congressional Committee.

CALAMITY IS POINTED OUT. TAFT'S FAILURE AT THE POLLS WOULD CAUSE IT HE MUST HAVE REPUBLICAN HOUSE TO ASSIST HIM IN WORK. Oyster Bay, Sept. 21. President Roosevelt has written a letter to Wil liam B. McKinley, chairman of the re-: publican congressional committee, de-! tailing wh,at has been accomplished during his administration and showing the necessity of electing a congress In thorough accord with Mr. Taft. The j president's letter is as follows: j Sagamore Hill, Oyster, Bay, N. Y., Sept. 0. My Dear Sir: I have received ! your letter of Aug. 28. I agree with ! all that you say as to the amount of affirmative and constructive legislation for the social and economic benefit of our people which has been accomplished by the congress during the last seven years. The law establishing a national system of irrigation was j of vital importance and stands in its ' line as second only to the homestead law. The interstate commerce law has been amended so as to make it a new law, with three-fold the efficiency of the pld law. The enactment of the . pure food law was of almost or quite ! equal importance. The creation of the department of . commerce and labor, together with the creation of a bureau of corporations, which marks the beginning of federal control over the huge corporations doing an interstate business, the employ-1 ers' liability law, the safety appliance j law, the law limiting the working hours of railway employes, the meat inspection law, the denatured alcohol law, the anti-rebate law, the laws increasing the powers of the department , of justice in dealing with those, re-1 gardless of wealth and power, who infract the law, the law making the government liable for injuries to its employes, the laws under which the Panama canal was acquired and is being built, the Philippines administered and the navy developed, the laws creating a permanent census bureau and re-' forming the consular service and the ' system of naturalization, the law for-; bidding child labor in the District of, Columbia, the law providing a com-1 mission under which our currency system can be put on a thoroughly satisfactory basis, the laws for the proper administration of the forest service, the laws for the admission of Oklahoma and the development of Alaska, the great appropriations for the development of agriculture, the legal prohibition of campaign contributions from corporations all these represent but a portion of what has been done by congress and form a record of substantial legislative achievement in harmony witn tne best and most progressive thought of our people. Necessary to Elect Taft. It Is urgently necessary, from the standpoint of the public interest, to elect Mr. Taft, and a Republican Congress which will support him; and they seek election on a platform which specifically pledges the party, alike in its executive and legislative branches, to continue and develop the policies which have been not merely professed but acted upon during these seven years. These policies can be successfully carried through only by the hearty co-operation of the President and the Congress in both its branches, and it is therefore peculiarly Important that there should obtain such harmony between them. To fail to elect Mr. Taft would be a calamity to the country; and it would be folly, while electing him, yet at the same time to elect a Congress hostile to him, a Congress which under the influence of partisan leadership would be certain to thwart and baffle him on every possible occasion. To elect Mr. Taft, and at the same time to elect a CongrVs pledged to support him, is the only way in which to perpetuate the policy of the Government as now carried on. I feel that all the aid that can be given to this policy by every good citizen should be given; for this is far more than a merely partisan matter. Both your committee, and the national committee, of which Mr. Hitchcock is chairman, are endeavoring to secure the active co-operation on the stump of senators and congressmen. j party aders and Independent citij zens generally. I most heartily join jin urging the importance of such coj operation. j I hope that every disinterested pri- ; vsfte citizen, whose sole concern in : politics is to have the right kind of man carry out the right kind of policy, will join in backing up your committee as well as the national committee in this movement No service is as effective, as valuable, as the disinterested service given ; in such manner by men whose one concern is for the triumph of the prin- ; ciples in which they believe; and I ap- ; peal with all the strength there is in j me to such men to give such support. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "I've got u record of your wife'? voice." said the man with the phono sraph, winding up the machine. "There, isn't that like your wife?" "Not a bit! My wife can talk for hours without any winding up!" was the feeling reply of the husband. Y enters Statesman. Joaxxa Gold Flour is real economy.

BIRTH OF THE WALTZ

THE DANCE HAD ITS ORIGIN EITHER IN FRANCE OR GERMANY. Ita Introdarttoa Iat Eairlaad Caae4 v Great Scandal la That Coaatrr aid For at Time Had Faahioaabl. oeiety la an I' proa r. No exact date can be ascribed to the introduction of the waltz into England from France. In liSOO Gilray published a caricature of a couple waltzing, with the note that "this was Intended for a quiz upon the then foreign dance, waltzing." Again in 1S10 the same artist published another sketch, entitled La Walse, Le Bou Genre." with the note, "The walse was at this time new in England and just coming into fashion." The fame, or. rather, notoriety, of the new dance bad, however, reached England some years previously. Dr. Burney had seen It danced in Paris In 17S0 and was moved to write, "How uneasy an English mother would feel to see her daughter so unfamillarly treated and still more to note the obliging manner In which the freedom is returned by the females." Raikes in his journal declares that "no event ever produced so great a sensation in English society as the introduction of the German waltz," which he atttributcs to Baron Neumann and others about the year 1811. He relates how the mornings, which had hitherto been dedicated to lounging in the park, were now absorbed at home in practicing the figures of a French quadrille or whirling a chair round the room to learn the step and measure of the German waltz. It was danced at Almack's by a few very bold spirits, notably Lord Palmerston, Mme. de Lieven, Princess Esterhazy and Baron Neumann, and thus became a matter of exhibition, the whole company standing on benches to view the performance. However, the antlwaltzing party took the alarm and cried it down. Mothers forbade it, and every ballroom became a scene of feud and contention. How profound was its unpopularity in certain quarters is proved by the pasquinades leveled against it. The famous seven lines commencing "What! The grlrl I adore by another embraced!" are commonly attributed to Byron, though they were published anonymously in 1812, and some authorities give Thomas Moore as the author. An impromptu purporting to be addressed by an indignant lover to his betrothed and her partner echoes Byron's feelings: You've brushed the bloom from tha peach. From the rose Its aoft hue; What you've touched you may take. Pretty waltzer, adieu. Another poet delivered himself of the following diatribe: How arts improve in this inspiring age! Peers mount the box, and horses tread tha stage. While waltzing; females, with unblushing face. Disdain to dance but in a man's embrace. "The waltz, however," continues Raikes, "struggled successfully through all its difficulties. Flaurhault, who was 'la fleur du pois' in Paris, came over ; and with a host of others drove the prudes into their intreuchments. And ; when the Emperor Alexander was seen waltzing around the roof at Almack's, with his tight uniform and numerous decorations, they surrendered at discretion." It is a moot point whether the waltz originated In France or Germany, whether It came from the French "La Volta" or the German national dance, the "Landler." According to French authorities, La Volta was simply the waltz a trois temps. Provence was its birthplace, and it was first introduced at the court of Henry II. at Fontainebleau in 1555 by the Comte de Saulte, who Is said to have invented it, for many called It La Volta de Saulte, and the name is suitable both because of the etymology of the word and the character of the dance. It enjoyed a great run throughout France and even penetrated to Scotland, where it met with furious opposition, one writer averring that Its importation into France had been effected by the power of witches. Mary Stuart once exhibited her agility in this dance, but she was careful not to repeat the experiment, and this was about the last heard of it. The case for Germany is that the first waltz tune appeared in 1670 In a popular song called "O du lieber Augustin." From Germany the dance made Its way to Vienna and was introduced into the opera, while by and by it found its way to France, whence it came to England "the insidious waltz, this imp of Germany, brought up in France." The waltz when first danced In London was a slow movement a trois temps, and the early English waltz compositions were very poor. Strauss came to London in 1837 to play at- Almack's, and his waltz music created a perfect furore. It killed the old trois temps waltz, and the deux temps usurped its place. Now that the fascination of the waltz is all powerful, it is diSeult to realize the commotion Its Introduction caused. London Globe. Sidetracked.

ipVThe Great 727 Main THE EARLES FORGET Wife of New York Artist turns to Husband at Monroe. ReVILLAGERS ARE ELUDED. Monroe, N. Y., Sept. 21. Again the dove of peace reigns in the household of Ferdinand Pinney Earle. Eluding the villagers and met only by the husband whom she accused a few weeks ago of having beaten her, and away from whom she has been living since, Mrs. Earle arrived at Oxford Station, the first one above this place. She carried her babe and was unaccompanied. Earle, acting as his own coachman, drove from Monroe to Oxford to meet his wife, and bundled her and her lug gage into the carriage quickly to avoid attracting attention. Husband and .wife, after kissing, then drove to the Earle home without it becoming known in the village that Mrs. Earle had returned. The news spread through the village and started considerable comment The numerous and spectacular changes in the Earle domestic affairs have brought the Monroe villagers to the point of resentment against the artist and his second wife. None of Mrs. Earle's relatives, who were charged by the artist with having brought about the breach between him and his wife, which resulted in Earle spending a day in jail, is at the Earleh ome. The mother of the artist, however, is there, and since her return from Europe recently is said to have been instrumental in restoring peace to her son's domestic establish ment.
