THE McCalla court martial case is
in progress and there is all evident
intention on the part of the court
to get at the facts. The attempt of
the commanders counsel to confine
the court to the testimony taken al
the preliminary investigation has
failed, and the court has ruled that
the ships log is not sufficient or con-
elusive evidence. The antics of the
commander of the Enterprise have
become notorious end the naval au-
thorities cannot afford to pass them
lightly by. To say nothing of his
cruelty to his men his conduct on
shore was most unbecOming to a
United States officer. The accounts
published in the Bermuda jOurnals
of his Sunday spree while stopping
on that island, if half true, reveal
very disgraceful state of affairs. Adj
miral Harmony, before whom McCalla
is tried, owes it to the dignity and re-
spect of the naval service, no less
than to seamanship and justice, to
get at the bottom facts and decide ac-
Cordingly.

political murder the nation will be
glad to know it, but absolute proof

IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
Kemmler Rapidly Weakening Under tn
Horrible Strain of JJncertainty

Kemmler Rapidly Weakening Under the
Horrible Strain of Uncertainty.
AUBURN, N. Y, April 3O.-The sun
shone bright on the lawn in front of
Kemmler's cell, and the robins sang and
whistled in the ivy. There was the same
d1ibbling stream Of curious looking peo-
pie on State street, and there was the
same halt in front of the big iron gates
as before. The one-armed soldierly-
looking guard who stands at the gate
was kept busy turning his great key in
the iron-barred door. The correspondents
were ubiquitous and swarmed every
where. Kemmler, who is at present the
object Of interest in the entire country,
spends his time scratching his name on
cards, and adding, as if nobody would
know it unless he did SO, Auburn,
N. w." and the date.
1t is said that the prisoner is begin
ming to feel the strain. He knows per-
fectly well that his time is up and he
knows he is only waiting the warden's
pleasure. He is becoming quite nervous
and acts strangely. He looked out of
the barred window long while after he
had eaten his breakfast, and when he
turned away he sighed deeply; he might
never see the sun shining again. It
looked 80 pleasant outside, with the
grass taking on bright green and the
trees budding in the spring air, and the
birds flying here and there, that life
must seem very sweet to that ignorant
man who is waiting for death Of which
he knows nothing and which he does not
understand. He has been told it will
come painlessly, but surely. He is not
SO confident, SO cheerful as he has been,
and unless the warden works quickly
there may be scene in the death cham
ber when the man is about to be given
over to the grasp of the big armed chair
and shocked into eternity,

RANCHING AT KIBBEY.

Much Ground Broken-Jusnping Settlers
Claims-Oscar Swanson Better.
Especial Correspondence of the TRIBuNE.)
KIBBEY, April 2s.-This has been
rather backward spring, hut most Of the
farmers are nearly through with seeding.
Much breaking is being done and the
new ground is sown in wheat. With
little more rain the crop about Kibbey
would be grand success.
The Kibbey school is in running order.
Miss Fergus is our teacher, and good
attendance Is reported.
Miss Berthe Owen, of Otter creek. is
visiting her uncleMr. .VanHenderliter and
attending school here.
The Rev. MIR. McGregor, Of Indiana,
has lately arrived and may take up his
residence among the Kibbieites. There
Is much need of church In this locality.
Considerable excitement is occasioned
by the needless jumping Of claims on the
east bench. Some people should mind
their own affairs and not advise the new
settlers to jump mans claim because
he happens to be away.
Oscar Swanson, one of our prosperous
farmers, who has been confined to his
bed for some time by severe attack OF
inflamatory rheumatism, is now able to
be around again.

agreed upon, as it doubtless will be. The

they will meet on Thursday for the final
settlement of the strike, and it is prob
able that the greater part of the striking
