Nothing definite is known about the matter. theTsheep states. Nw tteaieo aid Montana Lead, Bat Ohio Is Dolss Very Well. To-day the seat of the sheep -re a ring industry of the union has shifted from the middle west to the plateau region between the Rockies and the Sierras, writes Capt. J. H. McClintock, in Ains lee's. Ohio is still doing very well in the business, with nearly 3,000,000 head, but she has dropperit from first to fourth in the lis of mutton produc ing states. New Mexico is at the head, with more than 4,000,000. Montana has nearly as many, while Wyoming leads Ohio closely by a few hundred thousand head. Idaho closely follows Ohio in rating. Oregon, California and Texas each has about 2,500,000 sheep. The Navajo Indians of Arizona are a material factor in the wool market. The tribe is wealthy through its flocks. The tribesmen are believed to own lit tle short of 1,000,000 head, the care of the flacks . and the wearing of wool being almost the sole occupation of the 22,000 Indians. Singular to relate, only a small part of the Navajo wool crop is worked up at home into the wonderful blanket-that have made the tribal name famous. Only the coarser andi cheaper blankets are now made of the native wool. The up-to-date Navajo weaver use a GwmantowE yarn and Diamond dyea. Findlnar Ocean Depths. An interesting appliance used in laving cables is the submarine sen try and sounding machine. It is often desirable to keep the cable at an even depth, especially out of shal low water. The "kite." or sound ing machine, is set at the minimum depth desired and thrown over the stern. When the boat gets into shal lower water than desired the lever at the lower end of the "kite" strikes the bottom, releasing the towline at one end, and allowing the "kite" to come to the surface, at the same time ringing a signal bell on. the bridge.

Mebane Special to Raleigh Post, 27th. Mr. George F. Nesbitt, a prominent and wealthy society man of Kingston, Pa., well and favorably known in shooting circles came to Mebane last Friday with the expectation of spend ing the shooting season here. Today while in the field three miles from the village, he accidently shot and killed himself. He was alone when he was shot. When his body was found two of his dogs were watching by him faithfully. His death was evidently instantaneous and painless, the whole load of shot passing through his head. Mr. Nesbitt was a Yale man. The corpse was carried by Greens boro today en route to Pennsylvania. DROWNED IN A FLOOD. Eighteen Hundred Feathered CrCb tares Were Victims of Bis mental Fury. On the night of August 12, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, after north eastern Kansas had been sweltering without-rain for over 30 days, the creeks were drying up and the farm ers were beginning to grumble about a "drought," a big black cloud loomed up over the northern horizon. Horton was treated to a display of electrical fireworks and then the wind began to blow. A lull followed and Horton went to sleep. At about one o'clock people living along the creek south of town found water suddenly rising on the bedroom floors and in one instance a man car ried his wife through the water waist deep to high ground. The dam which held the town water supply gave way; bridges and culverts were swept out. And all this in about 40 minutes. The other morning ex-Mayor Lever ton discovered a dead bird in his path and a closer scrutiny showed more. A neighbor was called to witness and a pailful was picked up. More neigh bors arrived and took a hand in the unique harvest. Coal scuttles wash boilers, pails and baskets were brought and filled. Sparrows, wrens, blackbirds, robins and every feath ery tenant of the grove were repre sented. One woman" picked up 161 birds without moving in her steps. When the count was made it disclosed 1,800 birds. Expressed His Sympathy. A story about little Prince Edward of York appears in the British Week ly. Not long ago he was taken over a British man-of-war and was much interested in a large, heavily built chest which was shown" him. "What does that hold?" he asked the tall officer who accompanied him. "Pow der," was the reply. The little boy looked sympathetically at. the., stal wart figure and observed: "Then do. yon take powders, too?

The train was submerged under ten feet of water There are 21 dead, 69 injured, and ten saved themselves by swimming ashore. THE REPORT MODIFIED. Later advices contradict "the early reports of loss of life All the passen gers were saved it is said, though badly shaken. It is remarkable that any escaped. The tram went over the embankment while running at a good speed. As it settled, the passengers scrambled for the windows, and a number of them swam ashore. When the men recovered composure they formed a human chain for the purpose of helping the women in the Pullman coach. The passengers were asleep and could not have realized what had happened till the water reached them. Express Messenger Cosey was drown ed and his body has not yet been re covered.
