They were compelled to come hither from Marengo because of a Peculiar accident that necessitated the purchase of a new separator. One oi' Mr. McDorman's horses stood too near a separator on his farm. Switching its (lowing tail about, in an effort to dissipate a drove of Hies, the animal entangled its caudal appendage in the machinery. The horse was frightened, broke away violently, actually tearing its tail out by the roots, and then, with its mate, and the wagon to which they were hitched, ran away.

The separator, was shattered, but the boy in the wagon managed to stop the team, after a half mile's run, without injury to himself or further injury to the "detailed" animal. Three old Iowa City boys. Nael Jones, formerly city editor of the Citizen: Charles Kulp and Tom Brannan, vcre upset in the Mississippi river at Muscatine one day last week, and were all but drowned. Inasmuch as they had denuded themselves to prepare for bathing, they were likewise nearly frozen before they were rescued by a party of rowers who chanced to come by at that time. One the young men--the first-named newspaper worker, of course, clambered over the edge of the approaching boat and landed in the midst of a group of fair boaters.

The sensation that followed can be better imagined than described. The rescue added a spice of amusement to an otherwise grave matter. CONE LAKE CHAT ARRIVES LATE IOWA CITYAN WRITES OF LIFE IN CAMP. GREAT THRONG SURPRISES K. D.

A delayed letter comes to The Press from Cone Lake--Pike Run--Deep Lake--what you will, which is herewith presented in full for the delectation and edification of our readers.

A goodly number of Iowa Cityans camped at Pike Run the past week, and it was planned last week to break camp today. The letter in question, written by one the Iowa City members of the party, runs as follows: There is a tradition, handed down from the original occupants of this territory, that once upon a time a pike was placed in the waters upon upoun the bank of which our camp is pitched. It is not for a moment to be maintained that this or any other pike has been seen by living man. Pike Run is merely a "bayou" in tlie wide valley of the river. Aeons of ages in the past here the river rolled its crystal floods.

It is not to be supposed that in those primeval days, when the sea floors were laid down the coral limestone deposited and the sand beaches raised, the waters were otner than, limpid. They are not now so to be characterized. Pike Run is not "so worse" as some of the neighboring waters. In fact, in most places one can tell where the stream separates from the banks, this is not the case with the river--there water and earth are intermingled in a mixture having the characteristics of both and of neither. A section can be taken out, dried and used either for fuel, building purposes, chicken feed, or fertilizer.

It is not possible anything should live-in this chocolate- colored mixture occupying the place on the map marked as the course ol the river. This circumstance gives to Pike Run a real importance. Its waters contribute not a little to the sustenance of the people. Here are- fcund bull-heads, carp, little blue-cats, big blue-cats, carp, channel-cats, mud- cats, carp, dog-fish, carp, turtles, carp Our engineer triangulated the carp in a portion of the surface of the run, and his estimates, based on a length of three-fourths of a mile in length, two hundred feet in width, and twenty feet in depth for the run, and allowing each carp to occupy an average of 108 cubic inches and disposing oi" all other living things between the banks, top and bottom for inequalities, he finds there are 9,167,598.432.007 in the pond. Since these figures were made we have caught 19, not including 3 which iljr 5 sold to us by youth with accompanying affidavits that they were black bass It is not fair to deprive the native of the value of his affidavit.

Pike Run empties into the map from the bay on by a swift stream, mainly composed of logs and barbed wire. Deposits of water are found in this stream, and in these are black bass and croppies, placed there by one of the official predecessors of George A. Lincoln, when he was trying to make a record 'to get another pull at his salary. They are pursued by natives, by our party, by scores of like parties, by men and boys armed with every fishing appliance from pitchfork and pin- hook to dynamite and Billy Seltz's mechanical contrivance for alarming pursuing, overpowering and landing the unfortunate fish. This is Billy's own invention.

It looks like Prof. Langley's" flying machine, strong as a locomotive, always setT, and will catch anything that flies, runs, jumps, swims, climbs or digs. With one of these machines one only needs to pay the royalty and press the button. It furnishes everything from red lemonade to Greek fire, Saratoga chips and pickled cauliflower on the side. The rain drops are purring on our cotton roof.

They have done so at least once, and usually twice in each of, the twenty-four hours we have been here. Before we came the blue grass was two feet high and superb In its emerald sheen. Oaks, hickories, hackbnrs, water birch, walnuts and elms shade the gronnos. Talk about our common juglans nigra (I got this out of Shields' Gray's Field Book ol Botany, and it is supposed to be correct) is very common, but the space writers on metropolitan papers never camped on Pike Run. There is wal- nnt here to snrp'y a dozen furniture factories running lull time for a dozen years and not taking out any hours or strikes or of walking delegates.

Beaut Jhjj walnut trees they are, and there hnshels and jnshels of frujtapp. Our tent is 6,162 feet northeast by north from the Milwaukee sixain uliovel. This machine is tho HI.M prominent feature of the II lias torn away section of taxable real estate tlilrty feet deep, liali' a mile Jong and forty rods In width, and the result Is distributed on the right ol way of the cut-off from Muscatliie almost to Ottumwa. It works Cay and night aud Sunday, and Is fed with coal from Peorla and water from Pike Run bayou (by the way the public resonrs the term "bayou" and we only use it ourselves), absorbs the eiiei- gies of two sets of workers, and is the of the town and the terror o' the C.

St. P. directorate and engineer corps. The exhaust of various engines which attend upon its workings are our lullaby. We are told that it is the biggest machine ever built, cutting out full three yards of sand at every swoop, loading a ca- seven to eight buckets, and making a train load of fifteen cars In forty- five minutes.

The C. U. St. P. Is a big corporation, but it doesn't ure up to this steam shovel, for it cannot supply engines and ca.s fast enough to carry away the prod act.

"We are told by one of the foremen that a single locomotive to handle the cars in the pit, 150 cars a clay (.20 hours) can be taken out, and over hail this time is required for switching cars and moving the shovel. A couple of these machines working at full speed would move a to" in a D'Ontn. There is splencMd set o' railway men attending on this monster machine and its work. A number of thenj are from Marion, and one of them mentioning the amount he earned last month, added that he intended send ing his daughter to the State Univer sity this year. These men make good wages.

The work is hard, and with overtime. It is wholly free from danger, though no serious accidents have yet occurred in the sanu pit. Those who are steadily at work in the responsible places are intensely loyal to the company. One told me that in four or six weeks when the "cut-off" will be opened, it will 'oe a superior piece of road, and on it will be placed the finest train in America, yes, sir, a million, dollar train," and it will beat all other roads from Kansas City to Chicago. This is not an advertisement, for I am in the fix Congressman John A Hull was soon after the opening of his political career, "I have no pass- on the Milwaukee Sweet potatoes and water-melons are the chief products of the land adjacent to Pike Run.

This year they are late. We had consulted the calendar and expected to talce our pick of these delicacies, but arrived too early for this season's crop. We trust that our friends will have no occasion to regret the tardiness of the season. We regret it very much, as we had counted on a big reduction in expenses consequent upon gleaning the fields on our trips to and from the town.
