Fires are reported burning in a few scattered districts, but for the most part the flames have died down and no further great loss is expected.

The greatest havoc is. in Delta, Marquette, Dickinson, Menominee, Iron and lL.uce counties, with less ser- ious damage reported from Ontono- gon, Gobebic, Houghton and Alger counties.

Bean tea is killing the Winnebago Indians. It is said that the once powerful tribe will be extinct in from 20 to 25 years. The mescal bean, imported from Mexico, is responsible for the numerous deaths. The Winnebagos occupy 15,000 acres of fine land just across the riv- er from Sioux City. They are the richest and most debauched tribe of Indians in existence. They have a reserve fund of $1,000,000, or $1,000 for each member of the tribe. Their death rate is twice as rapid as the birth rate. Under the peculiar influence of this deadly bean the Winnebagos are dy- ing like sheep. It has taken the guise of religious mania, under which the merest children are compelled to begin to use the drug. The bean is brewed into a tea and stupidity soon follows its drinking. TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN MILL. One in- | Kentucky Drinking Bee Ends in Death United | of Participants. A triple tragedy occurred at Lynn- ville, Ky. A visitor to the ware- house owned by Mark Wilson, a prominent merchant, found the pro- prietor, his brother, West Wilson, and Arthur lying on the floor shot to death. Revolvers were found beside the bodies of Arthur West and West Wilson. Two citizens reported that they had been at the warehouse shortly before 7 o’clock in the evening and left the trio apparently on good terms, although all had been drink- ing. The supposition is that West Wilson and Arthur West engaged in a shooting affray, killing each other, and thai one of the bullets struck Mark Wilson.

They were .rescued, but the balloon was | wrecked. The ascension was made at 2 o'clock. The wind was blowing in a southeasterly directicn, the most fav- orable for a lengthy journey, and so far as eould be gauged, at about 25 or | 20 miles an hour. The balloon quickly rose to an altitude of about 1,000 feet and then started traveling at a very quick rate, in the direction of New Jersey. It was evidently blowing a good deal harder at that altitude than on the ground, and this is what caused the trouble. A moving picture camera was on board and it was the intention to set it in operation as soon as the balloon had attained a height of 1,000 feet. The object was to procure a moving panoramic view of New York from the clouds for exhibition purposes. CARNEGIE OFFERS MILLION Yonkers, Hudson.

That it is possible to reduce earth- | quakes and voicanoes to the level of ordinary risks for insurance and to save numberless human lives by a systematic study of earth physics is the opinion of Professor Thomas A.

The award was the largest in the history of the fund, all previous beneficiaries num- bering but 26. Of the 21 persons re- ceiving awards two were girls. In 11 cases the scene of heroism was in Pennsylvania, 5 in Ohio, 3 in New York, 1 in New Jersey and 71 in Cennectitcut. The reason for the preponderance of cases in Pennsyl- vania lies in the fact that the com- mission endeavored to investigate as many cases as possible in the least time, and cases in states far removed are now under investigation by Special Agents John P. Cowan and George A. Campsey. These 21 awards were culled from 66 cases which have been investigated since the last meeting of the com- mission in January. Up to April 390 of this vear the commission has re- fused 4S¢ cases, made 26 awards, and { at that time had 424 cases under in- vestigation. A striking feature of the 1 awards made is the vouth of those re- ceiving commendation, several of whom were mere children.’ List of Carnegie Heroes. Michael Gismondi, aged 27, Mt.
