The alcalde, or chief officer, was mild man

young fellow who had stolen a buckskin bag
of "dust" was brought before him. The wit

about ten minutes the alcalde said:

''No, judge, reckon you'll be fair"
"All right, my son. Now, first you give
back the dust you stole"
Certainly, judge; the sheriff has it,"
"And the court regrets it, but you ought to
pay costs; one ounce for sheriff fees, one
ounce for me-"
"Here it is, and thank ye, judge"-pulling
out a heavily filed bag and handing over
the required amount.
The alcalde looked him all over, and his
voice grew even milder as he said'

Relief for Fnrrner,.

WASHINGTON, March Congress-
man Dorsey and State Auditor Benton,
of Nebraska, Monday had conference
with Charles Francis Adams of the
Union Pacific, and informed him of the
suffering of the farmers in the north
west, and ascribed it to the exorbitant
freight rates on corn Tor eastern markets.
Mr.. Adams told the gentlemen that he
had Just returned from Cuba, and knew
but little of the state of affairs until
Monday. He telegraphed John NJ.
Thurston, of Omaha, western manager
of the Union Pacific, to confer with the
local managers of that corporation, and
with managers of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, in Chicago, with
a view to an immediate reduction of
freight rates on corn, between the Mis-
souri, river and Chicago, to one-half of
present rates.

it due the public to give the news,

THE OLLIE SCANDAL.

President Harrison has allowed
the Ollie scandal to be laid at his
very door rather than hold Ollie re-
sponsible for his rascality. 1t is
worse than the whiskey frauds under
the Grant administration, and yet
the President takes no steps to relieve
the administration of the disgrace.
John Ollie was secretary of the In.
diana Republican committee, and of
course was hand in hand with Dud-
ley in carrying the State for Harri-
son. The President appointed him
Register of the Land Office at Guth-
RE, Oklahoma, and Ollie allowed
his brother and friends to gobble all
the best lands before the Territory
was opened. Secretary Nable brought
this rascality to the attention of the
President, who said it was a lawleSs
outrage. Mr.. Noble wrote Ollie Sc
verely criticising his course, also
communicating the Presidents mes
sage, but said he was not authorized
by the President to request his
(Dille'sl resignation. Ollie intima-
mated that he had his pockets full OF
dynamite and would explode it if
pushed. Congressman Tarsney, Of
Missouri, has taken the matter in
hand and proposes to lay the Noble
Ollie correspondence before the House
and ask for an investigation. Speak

THE LODGE FEDERAL ELECTION
BILL.


Mr.. Carlisle says the Lodge cleo
ton bill is an unconstitutional meas
ure, that congressman are State
officers commissioned by State
authority and resign their commits
sions to the State. 1t is indeed vile,
revolutionary measure, centraliza-
ton in its worst form. Mr.. Carlisle,
discussing the bill, said to the Ameri-
can correspondent:
If this proposed legislation is car
ried into effect it will completely de-
moralize labor in the South and stop
the industrial and commercial deVel
epment of that section. Great disor-
ders will ensue, and the conditions of
the reconstruction era will be re-
newed. Northern capital now flow
ing into the South will be driven
away, and the present growing pros
perity will be checked. | hope the
Republicans will pause and reflect
before taking such step, but the
signs of the times are not propitious.
Mr.. McMilIen says it changes the
system Of government which has ex-
listed over 100 years in three distinct
branches-the legislative, the execu-
tive and the judicial, independent of
each other. Mr.. Lodge proposes to
destroy the independence of the leg
islative, and place it in the power Of
the judicial. 1t destroys home rule,
the very thing that the people in the
old country are now fighting
for with fair prospect of success. He
does not think the law can be en-
forced if passed.

To Preserve Good Health.

Is the desire of all, yet the desire is
often lost sight of through neglect. A
light cold or slight headache is allowed
to take root and thus often brings a long

used at the proper time. Elert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild CHEEKY is such
and agent and cure-worker for Coughs,

\ Belief That the Grafton Well Was Mis-
managed:
Special Correspondence oftAe Reqisfer.

Special Correspondence ofthe REGISTER
GRAFTON. w. Va, June AL
though it has been over a fortnight
since the contractors abandoned the oil
well at this place, the idea aad belief
that oil can be found here in abundant
quantities Is still firmly fixed in the
minds of those who took an interest in
the operation Of the well just aban-
doned. The we'll was abandoned, not
because the contractors were discour-
aged or felt that there was no oil here,
but from the fact that they could go no
deeper. The well was caSed but 300
feet when it should have been caSed at
least 300 feet When they reached the
sand there was so much water and so
much caving in that it was compul-
SioQ on their part to quit. Those who
invested their money in the enterpriS G
feel very sore.
They have attempted to draw the
easing from the well. but have
failed and there is nothing
left now for them to do but
TO move the tools, and we understand
that in a few days they will be moved
to Warrington, where Wilson and Bad
ger expect to again begin a well. y
company is now being organized to put
down another well near the abandoned
well, and those who are well posted
seem to have no doubt of the final sue
cess of the new enterprise.
