PARIS, TEN. Dec. S.-The removal OF
Joseph Fl. Wilson as United States dis
trict attorney Tor the Eastern district OF
Texas has been the topic Of conversation
for two days on account of the summary
manner in which it was done. No one
has more friends than he and no one be-
lieves that Le could be induced 20 do
dishonorable act. There is no doubt but
that he Is the victim of o deep laid
scheme, the ultimate object of which is
20 break up the court here. At the Oc-
tober term OF the court q. NJ. Horton,
special agent OF the government, called
here to investigate the accounts of the
marshal and look at the books generally.
He soon chose Us his confidential friend
and adviser an attorney who has been
here for several months work
ing in the interest of the
defendants in the Cross case.
This attorney did Horton's inspecting
and made up his report for him. Thess
reports were prejudical. When HortoG
first came here be reported the jul TO bs
i'll excellent condition, but after hob
nobbing with said attorney awhile re-
ports went to Washington that the cou-
demned men in the Cross case were
treHted worse than the Federal prisoners
ut AndersOnvile, this, i'll the face of the
fact that they never ate bad food aud
had the finest of liquors and cigars fur
nished them by their friends on the out
side. Judge Horton went so far as &c
send some very bad bread to Washing
ton as Il sample of prison food, though
1t Is notorious fact, and he knew 1t &c
be q fact, that the condemned NEE
never ate prison food. II is openly
talked on the streets here that he WA
the cause of Wilson 3 removal and the
said attorney is an applicant for the
place with strong Endorsement. That
the attorneygeneralh has become preju-
diced against this court there is nc
doubt. 1t is an open secret that when
the Cross case comes before the suprems
court he will confess error and have the
case remanded. His prejudices have
been aroused against the court and iu
officers on the expert statement.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-07-24

Up to the year 1860 their stood on the
main road leading to Suffolk, Nause-
mond county, Va, venerable white
oak. Many are the stories told of
ghostly visitant to this tree every night.
The story had it, that in 1880 murder
was committed at the foot of this
monarch for the purpose of robbery and
that the money taken from the victim
was buried there. Every attempt to
secure it had failed because a phan.
tom horseman was guarding the oak.
1t was said of this tree that it bore
kind of fruit, not unpalatable, called
oakballs, which furnished to the credu-
lous additional evidence that treasure
was at its roots.
One night a party set out with the
intention of securing the hidden riches.
They brought with them an AK, pick
and two spades. Arrived at the tree
they began excavating the earth, being
on the alert for any unusual sight or
sound, when scream of unearthly
character pierced the air. A second
and third shrek were heard followed
by the cry "Helpl oh my Godl" The
diggers looking across the road, saw,
in the full glare of the moon, large
powerful bay horse, with rider top
pling from the saddle. He fell to the.
ground with his face toward the tree
and seemed gasping for breath. The
horse began to melt gradually away
before the astonished and terror-stricken
gaze of the party. As soon as the horse
disappeared, the fallen rider rose to his
feet and started directly for the tree.
The treasure seekers Immediately
started on run, glancing behind to
see if they We're pursued. The rider,
without needing them, went to the tree,
and, pointing with his right hand to the
ground at the root, uttered deep
groan and vanished. Nobody has since
visited the tree in the night time.

THE PRAIRIE FARMER
BY EUGENE BARRY.

I've lived here now for thirty wears. md, stran-
ger, Ill be bound
There's not better farm in all this Western
country round.
But somehow at this time of year. like fever in
the blood,
a restless feeling DER me steals that's hard to
be withstood
can not work. can not rest, but far away
would roam
For now the orchards are in bloom In my New
England home.
I've prospered well these level fields as far as
you can see,
They are bought and paid for. and they all be.
never could have done SO we'll at home YOU
may be sure;
often smile to think upon those farms 30 thin
and poor;
But as 1 sit behind my team and plough the
deep black loan,
see the apple-trees in bloom round my New
England home.
Straight east draw my furrows wide to meet
the rising sun,
Then turn and drive straight westward, and so
till day is done;
And then in autumns glorious time, when days
are calm and bright,
Miles upon miles OF ripen1ng grain wave in the
golden light.
But when at night seek my bed in visions
sweet roam
The hills OF old New England around my child
hoods home.
My boys are grown to stalwart men, my girls
are fair to see,
They're proud of this free Western land and
wonder much at me;
But they have never stood upon the mountains
summit grand,
Nor seen old Oceans crested waves break foam
ing on the strand.
Nor ever known the sweet delight in forest
wilds to roam,
Nor seen the apple trees IN bloom round my
New England home.
The swallow seeks the grove where first 1t saw
the suns bright gleam,
The salmon leaps the torrents fall to reach its
native stream,
A thousand leagues tho wild goose flies on tire
less wing oerhead,
Straight arrow to the bleak, bare North
where it WAS bred;
So in the spring my faithful heart, holding all
else in scorn
Turns back to old New England n.al the home
where was born.
Though here I've cast my lot for life and hero
must remain.
TILL death shall plough me under like stubble
the plain,
Make not my grave in this strange land, but
place me il you will
Within my fathers burial lot, upon the wind
swept HILL
WhereI may watch the mountains glow and
ocean break in foam,
And see in spring the orchards bloom round
my New England home,

making money, and l am glad to note
that every one succeeds. This is the first
consideration here, and politics has to

what some of the cities of this State are
accomplishing. visited Dallas and found
it city of beautiful homes; houses laid
out in villa lots, with suburbs which I'VE
sprung up like the growth of a night into
magnificent city sites. Manufactures

Dallas has made a splendid fight for
supremacy and the control of the bust
ness of its section. 1t is still growing,
and prices of real estate were never be-
fore SO high; still there is no sign of a
decline. Northern capital is offering it
self freely, and the people are as buoyant
as they were two years ago, when the
boom was supposed to be at it's height.

concerned. There is about Fort Worth
much of the aspect of frontier city,
and it has the appearance of Minneapolis
and st. Paul in the days preceding their
phenomenal growth. Electric street cars
are here. as in Dallas and other Texas
cities; there is an excellent water supply,
an electric-light plant, and the hand Of
improvement is shown everywhere. 1t
was at Fort Worth that the famous
Spring Palace was located, which was
recently destroyed by fire, and at which
the son of the President, Mr.. Rus
sell b. Harrison, distinguished him
self by assisting men, women,
aud children to escape. This Spring
Palace contained an exhibit of all the
wonderful products of the State Of Tex
as. Its destruction was a severe blow to
Fort Worth and the entire State, but
with wonderful display of energy the
people have decided to rebuild it next
year; to make it of iron, e-proof, and
to expend 100000 in it's construction.
When this is finished it will be one of
the marvels of the land.
THE NORTH TEXAS BOOM.
Gainesville, in the north of Texas, has
been one of the smaller cities, but it is
just waking up to the fact that it is in
every way deserving of the rise that other
