The march was along the main ‘road” following the railroad. As the regiment gets further away from the home station civilization makes less of an impression on the plains. The country becomes more of the real wild west variety and the men are threwn mors and more on their resources. The men were taught the value of water today when one canteen was made to last ten miles. The last water hole along the route has been pussed until the fort is Teached, and tor the next day or so, the water will Lc carried by trucks and mules.

During the display the snake, angry at an hour’s squeezing of head and tail made gaod his liberty and cen- tered himself in the ring of his tor- menters making jabs at all the timid ones that tried to T pture him. The boys wouldn't get within thirty feet of the reptile until Captain Lad- bury appeared upon the scene and nonchalantly put his foot on the snake and had the skin off its back in about four minutes, adding another trophy to the list of curios. Among the other curios sucered is a horn toad that was unfortunate enough to try to find helter in Sergeant Norton's hat, and n exceptionally large lizard that Captain Ladbury doctored into in- sensibility.

THOMPSON CO. 75 ARCH STREET ] HIGH PRICES SEND NEW DYES ABEGGING Deutschland’s Cargo Remains Un- sold in New York Market New York, Aug. 28.—The extraor- dinary prices asked for the dyestuff brought to this country by the Deutschland and recently distributed among the leading importers in this city, are not having the effect of fend- ing off prospective buyers who refuse to pay the prices demanded. This is particularly true as regards alizarine wool and cotton dyes, the users of which seem content to struggle along with the dyestuffs furnished to them by American manufacturers rather than pay from ten to twelve times the normal prices. In the issue of the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter, which is to appear to- day, it is said the cargo of dyestuffs on board the Deutschland was about 125 tons net, and in stating that American textlle manufacturers re- fuse to buy the dyestuffs, the journal advances two reasons for this action. The first is that the prices asked are from ten to twelve times greater than those which existed before the war, and the second that many American manufacturers have so adjusted their lines of goods that, with the aid of American dye makers, they are getting along nearly as well as in normal times. Dyes quoted before the war at from 35 to 45 cents a pound, many of which are embraced in the Deutschland's cargo, are in the market at from $4 to $10 a pound. ‘When the nature of the cargo of the Deutschland was disclosed, the state- ment was made that the dyes were from two to twelve times as highly concentrated as usual, and this was advanced as a plausible reason for the high prices demanded The Oil, aint and Drug Reporter asserts that s statement is ridiculous, as there is no known process for reaching so great a degree of concentration. It is intimated that the high prices are demanded by the owners of the Deutschland who aim to get the cost of the vessel out of her first trip and it is stated positively that the prices asked are eight times the cost of dyes in Germany at the time the Deutsch- land’s cargo was sent to this country. The subject of prices will be con- sidered by the Dye Exchange corpora- tion of 55 Liberty street today. This concern was recently established by men who have been connected with the dvestuff business, the war started. especially since WOMEN AND BABIES LOOK DEATH IN FACE Conn. River Boat Reels to Dock With 200 in Peril Springfield, Aug. 28.—The steamer Zita Mae with her bottom leaking and rolling, made a desperate stova in, five-minute drive for her dock at the foot of Elm street last night to land before she over 200 passengers safely While bound for Springfield up Riverside sank. the Connecticut river from park she struck some submerged ob- stump, off the island At Ject, probably a at the mouth of 6:40 with a rolled hard listing struck.
