lone of the strangest things about the
Beck murder case, said gentleman from
Rabun, ''haS not been told. Beck has a
physique which would do honor to an ath-
lete, and his immaculate shirt front marks
him from afar. When he was put in Jail
for the murder of his wife and sister he was
always to be seen at the second-story win
dow, where the reflection of the sun in the
afternoon blinded every one to all but the
shirt front. Finally he was removed to
GAINESVILLE. One afternoon shortlyi after a
company was gathered on the front porch
of Duncan's hotel, among them a we'll
known preacher.
'''I see something over in that window
remarked the preacher.
''Instinctively the people huddled close
together as they looked upon the sight
- 1t must be Beck's haunt suggested
one.
'Sure's Pm born,' said the preacher, Il!
does look like a ghost
"a visit to the Jail was decided upon,
and the party, armed with axes and other
articles of defense. with the preacher at
their head, started out to explore the build
ing. They entered with trepidation, and
slowly winding upstairs consulted a mo-
ment at the cell door before entering.
With resolution wrought up and pale
face the preacher opened the door, and al
most tainted when the truth flashed upon
him.
. It's only whisp of straw placed in
broken window he faltered. A caucus
was at once held in the Jail, where all were
pledged to secrecy, but one of the ladies Of
the party told it to her most particular
friend and before noon next day the par.
ticular friend of everybody else in Clayton
knew all about it.

AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SAMUEL j. RANDALL, who has repre-
scented his district in congress for twenty
four consecutive years, has just been renom-
mated by reclamation for his thirteenth
term. Barring his high-tariff record, Mr.
RANDALL has been one of the most faith
full representatives that ever held seat in
congress His infeXible honesty and IN
ceasing watchfulneSs have been the means
of saving millions to the public treasury
and yet he is to-day as poor in purse as
when he first entered congress nearly a
quarter of century ago. Such an eX-
ample of honest fidelity to the public in
tereStS is too rare in the public service to
be lost sight of. An honest man is the
modest work of GOD, and SAM RANDALL
is one Of the noblest specimens of Natures
nobility. If he would come West and be-
come imbued with low-tariff ideas, he
would be the model statesman of America

PLEURO-PNEUMONEA.
The General Governments Attempts

nn1ad by State authorities.

The General Governments Attempts
to Stamp Out the Disease Not Sec
Omded by state Authorities.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-SOme anxiety is
felt at the department of agriculture over
the failure of the state and local authorities
to fully cooperate with the department in
it's efforts to stamp out pleuro- pneumonia.
The fund at the disposal of the department
for the suppression of contagious diseases
among cattle was limited to $780, and
the heavy expenses of the last few weeks
have made serious inroads on the appropri-
alton. The quarantine at Chicago is main
tanned at daily cost of $3.50. Commits
sioner Colman. speaking of the operations
of the department at Chicago to-day, said
there seems to have been total failure on
the part of state authorities to destroy in
fected animals. Unless some action in that
line is taken very
LARGE SUM OF MONEY
will have been expended simply in quar-
antining CATTLE and the animals will still
be on hand. 1t would be better for all par
ties to have the infected animals destroyed,
which could only be done by the state au-
thorities. Maryland and other states are
complaining because of the withdrawal of
the departments expert veterinarians for
service at Chicago. and unless some action
is taken by the local authorities in that city
to relieve the situation the funds at the
disposal of the department will be exhausted
in a few months, and the country generally
will be left without protection against in
fections and diseases of cattle.
ACTION AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO. Oct 4.-The board of live
stock commissioners held a secret meeting
here this morning. For three hours the
board discussed pleuro-pneumonia, and
Gov. Oglesby came in to help, although he
remained but short time. When the
board adjourned at noon it was given out
that their session was devoted to a general
discussion of the matter. and that commits
sions as states veterinarians had been
issued to DR.. Trumbower, of Sterling, ILL.,.
and Drs. Rowland and Hawkes., of New
Jersey. DR.. Hess and Dr. Trumbower
were authorized to proceed to Blackberry,
ILL.,, where the disease is said to have been
detected.

The RIlimoi. Canals.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-The United States
government board of engineers on the Hi
nois & Michigan and the Hennepin canals
composed of Gen. C. B. Comstock, of Vii
lage Point n. Y; Gen. D. NJ. Poe, of De-
troit, and Maj. j. G. Post, of Cincinnati,
was in session in this city to-day to report
on the canals. Besides the board several
other gentlemen were present. Gen. Com
stock presided at the meeting. and called
for some remarks on the subject of the
canals. Gov. Oglesby said he had not
studied the matter, and was not prepared
to give any definite information. With the
great Lake Michigan lying useless, and the
Mississippi river on the other side of the
state, it seemed as if nature in
tended the canals for use. He
asked if the government could, just
for the sum of SO. 600, 900 or S20,-
900, 900 afford to let the great natural artery
or channel to remain idle. He referred to
the vast increase of population and the
marvellous increase of coal, corn. lumber,
grain and -four shipments during the past
thirty years, and wanted to know what the
increase would be in the next thirty-two
years. The object of the canals was to re-
duce TO the lowest possible standard the
rate of transportation The United States
cannot afford to let the project go by unno-
ticed. The government should not wait
day to avail itself of this waterway. The
governors remarks were followed by run
ming debate by those present, all of whom
favored the project. The meeting then adj
journed without any action being taken.
The board will submit its report to the gov
eminent some time in November.

The Manner i'm which it Was
Brought About still Criticised
by Washington Coffee Coolers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. At is stated of1icl-
ally at the war department that nothing
has been determined upon in regard to the
surrender of Geronimo, and that the depart
ment is still lacking the information upon
which to base any action. Gen. Niles
want of frankness in avowing at the outset
that he had granted liberal terms to the
captives is severely criticized, 1t is under
stood that the instructions given to Gen.
Crooks, not to accept the surrender OF the
ApacheS unless they came without con-
ditions, were transmitted to Gen. Miles for
his information and guidance These in
StructiOnS were inspired by the desire of
the president to undertake new policy of
dealing with renegade Indian murderers,
which policy contemplated their trial by
civil courts, and their prompt punishment
for the crimes they had committed. A
requisition, it is understood, has already
been made by the governor of Arizona
upon the governor of Texas for
THE SURRENDER OF GERONIMO
for trial, but under the terms of the sur
render the president cannot permit the
chief to be surrendered to either gov
ernor. Gen. Miles has defenders among
the authorities as well as critics, and it is
urged in justification of his course that it is
better to have possession Of the Indians,
even if the opportunity of making an eX-
ample of them to deter others from follow
ing in their footsteps be lost, than to permit
them to &c on indefinitely in their course of
murder and destruction. There is con-
of to- in
to the condition of the Apaches when they
came in. 1t has been said that they were
reduced to the lowest point of fatigue and
pIivatiOn, and that their surrender was the
result. This. in the absence of official in
formation, is not everywhere credited. Off
GERS who know the ApacheS well assert
that the kind of life they have been leading
latterly is their normal state; that women
accompanied them everywhere, and that
children were born and thrived while the
troops were in hot pursuit. In short, that
the savages were as well prepared when
they surrendered for continuing the raids
as they were year ago. The surrender
and the cessation of hOStilitieS is said to be
very sad blow to certain class of whites
on both sides of the line, men who made
merchandise of the miSfortunes of the set
tiers, who secured valuable mining and
lanch properties for fraction of their
value in consequence of the terror inspired
by the savages, and who would have sup
piled the latter with means to carry on their
murderous work indefinitely. Lieut.. Gale
wood, the officer to whom the Indians first
surrendered, has not yet been heard from
through any channel with respect to the
conditions granted to the prisoners.

THEY ARE SORE.

The Chicago papers do not relish the
GLOBES scoop on them in relation to the
assassination of EMERY SToRRS. OF course
it was piece of news legitimately within
the sphere of Chicago journalism, but as
the usually enterprising press of that city
fail ed to catch on to it the GLOBE couldn't
stand back forever waiting on the Chicago
papers to work it up. The GLOBE is a
newspaper and has contract with the
people of the Northwest to furnish them
the news. 1t is fulfilling that contract to
the letter. With its extraordinary facili-
ties for getting news it is not a matter for
surprise that the GLOBE should even
eclipse the Chicago press in unearthing Sc
crets which pertain more especially to Chi
cago local history. Instead of exhibiting
soreheadedness over the scoop, the Chicago
newspapers would display more wisdom
if they would take the GLOBE as their
model of enterprise and work up to the cor
rect standard.

SENATOR RICE's RECORD.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Is it true, as asserted by the GLOBE, that
Senator RICE. who is now Republican candi-
date for lieutenant governor, voted against
the bill making provisions for an open grain
market? ! am Republican and assfarmer and
want TO know the facts. j. H.
Dodge Center. Oct. . r
The journal of the senate of the twenty
fourth session of the legislature of the state
of Minnesota is the GLOBES authority for
the statement. By referring to pages 2S3
and 2S4 of the senate journal we find that
while the senate had under consideration
Senate Bill 461. an act for the regulation of
railroads. Mr.. HALL offered an amendment
providing for an open market, and that on
the call of the roll Mr.. RICE voted against
the amendment And again on page 432 we
find that when the bill had been amended
in the lower house and came back to the
senate MI HALL again moved that the SEN
ate concur in the house amendment and Mr..
RICE again recorded his vote against it.
These are the facts as they are officially re-
corded in the senate proceedings. The
GLOBE does not make charges that cannot
be substantiated.

SORGHUM Supar

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Last year the
department of agriculture began to expert
ment in small way at Ottawa, Kansas,
with the diffusion sugar making process as
applied to sorghum cane. Instead of
crushing the cane, as in the sugar cane
process it was shaved off III minute slices
and the sugar yielding sap extracted by
streams OF water. The results obtained
were so encouraging that the field of opera
tons was removed to Fort Scott this year.
and with largely increased plant expert
ments are now in progress on scale of
some magnitude. To-day a telegram was
received from Prof. Wiley, the chemist of
the department, who is in charge of the
works, announcing the complete success of
the experiments. The telegram states that
syrup has been obtained from the sorghum
cane of light color. good flavor and crystal
Using well. Commissioner Colman is much
elated at the results of the experiments,
and regards them as of great value from an
economical point of view. In the process
used in the South there is loss of nearly
so per cent. of the saecharine, while the
experiment at Fort Scott shows an absolute
extraction of saccl1 inc.

MI. HERBERT, the Republican candidate
for congress in the Third district, claims

The difficulty with him is that he is not en-

We think. when Mr.. HERBERT bolted,
that he supported good men. but he has no
right to now ask Republicans to be any
more loyal to the party than he has been.
Many Republicans will vote against him
for two very important reasons-hrst, be-
bause thew know that Judge MACDONALD

punish Mr.. HERBERT's treason to the party

WISE SENTIMENTS.

Those were words of wisdom which Gen.
LEE spoke to the Knights of Labor yester-
day on the assembling of their tenth
annual convention at Richmond, when he
told them to adopt equal and exact justice
to all men as their motto And equally
wise was the expression of Mr.. PowDERLY
when he stated that the object of the repre-
sentatives of the laboring classes
in assembling together was to study
and learn lessons of the head and
heart in practical citizenship. Animated
by such noble motive, it cannot be other
wise than that the Richmond convention
will be productive of much good, If Mr.
PowDERLY holds his organization down to
the work of strangling anarchy with one
hand and monopoly with the other, the
world will have cause to bless the labor or
ganization.

A Trades Demonstration.

PITTsGURG, Oct. 4.-The trades demon
stratlon to-day was the largest and finest
display OF its kind ever witnessed in this
city. The procession was twelve miles
long and occupied three hours in passing a
given point. 1t was made up principally
OF wholesale and retail grocers, flour and
grain dealers, furniture dealers and cloth
iers. The affair wound up with grand
picnic at Homewood park. The day was
suspicious and the business and private
houses along the route were tastefully dec
grated. 1t is estimated that at least 40, 900
strangers are in the city. Tomorrow the
annual parade of the G. A. r. will take
place and the city is still filing up with
excursonists. The demonstration prom
ises to eclipse any previous efforts.

D1RT-sLINGING CAMPAIGN.


The Republican bosses have deliberately
determined that il shall be filth-slinging
campaign against the Democratic nominees.
The Republican central committee adopted
q resolution instructing the Republican
organs and orators to open up the volcanoes
of personal utilization. In obedience to
this mandate the columns of the Pioneer
Press the morning after the meeting of the
committee were loaded to the muZZle with
slime. The organs that bow to boss dom
ination throughout the state have fallen
into line, and the Republican campaign ora
tors will take up the cry and ring it out
from the stump. They can have monopoly
of the dirt business. The Democrats have
gone into the canvass with clean hands and
pure hearts and intend to maintain posi-
ton of decency.

list of casualties. If he isn't killed outright,
it is altogether probable that he will be so
badly wounded as to disqualify him for a

A Wonderful Flop.

The action of the Pioneer Press in coming
out as Davis organ, thus performing COM
plete sOmersaut, has created much comment
and severe criticism. That paper has fought
Davis for years, but it now ostensibly throws
over its old favorites Window and Ramsey,
which shows that the entire combination are
badly scared, and as they saw no hope OF
electing McGill without Davis aid, they flop
over TO Davis. After using him in the cam
paign, that sheet will doubtless be ready to
slaughter him. The flop is so glaring and its
incentive so plain that it is not TO be won
dered at that expressions of disgust are heard
in many quarters.
