ASTONISHED OFFICIALS.

The Dismissal of the Libel Against the
Robert and Minnie Will Probably Let Out
the Itata.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-Thc decision
OF Judge Ross court Diminishing the
libel against the schooner Robert and
Minnie, which vessel supplied the arms
to the Itata, was great surprise to Of
ficials in Washington 1t was general
ly believed that the case against her
was much stronger than that which
could be made out against the Itata,
and, notwithstanding the reserva-
ton made by Judge Ross in his de-
cision, it is felt that his action will
cause the failure of the original libel
lodged against the Gillian vessel, al
though she may still be held on some
technical charge connected with her
escape while under legal detention.
This outcome would be severe disap-
pointment to the state and naval depart
ment officials after an expenditure,
direct and indirect, in the chase Of the
ltata that is estimated to run up closely
in the neigh borhood Of 500. 600.

a TERRITORY EXECUTION.
A Seminole Indian Shot According to


Law.
TAHLEQUAH,=L IT,, July Sat We
haka, in the Seminole nation, yester
day, Umest, a full blooded Indian, was
executed.
Four weeks ago he and another Sem
mole had quarrel, during which he
killed his opponent with hoe and then
chopped him in two pieces. He was
tried according to the Seminole law,
found guilty and sentenced to be shot.
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning he was
brought to the council ground and told
that he had but two hours to live. He
walked around the council ground as
cool as if he had come to the council
without any word, shook hands and
chatted freely with his friends until the
council bell told him his hour Of doom
had come.
- He was pointed to large fiat rock
near by and told to sit on it. The cap
tain of the Light Horse then came for
ward and told the doomed man to pre-
pare for death. He walked with firm
step, took his seat on the rock with his
face to the crowd and folded his arms
across his breast The captain took his
handkerchief from his pocket and
bandaged his eyes. Then he beckoned
to two Of his Light Horse to advance.
Said he: when give the word, fire
at the top button of his coat"
After stepping back little he gave
the word fire" and two sharp reports
rang out. The condemned man did not
fall but drew up his arms and twitched
nervously. Two of the officers ran for
ward, took him by the arms and laid
him on his back on the grass, where he
died in two minutes.

RAvENNA, O., July THE inquest
on the terrible wreck was resumed by
Coroner Sherman, but not nothing i'm

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned by the report that Conductor
Boynton's report Of the tickets showed
twelve people yet unaccounted for,
though some may have left without
making themselves known
Conductor Boynton is firmly of the
opinion that others were entirely con-
sumed in the fire, and his son, who was
the negligent fagman, supposed to have
been the cause Of the wreck, was one
Of the victims. The inquest may de-
velop some sensational facts in this
matter. Those who visited the wreck

THE LESSON OF MONEY GETTING.

John d. Rockefeller, the many times
millionaire of Chicago, is reported
broken down in health, with indica-
tions of premature ending of his earth
ly career. Moralizing upon the an
nouncement of the illness of this rich man
an exchange remarks that even if the
health of body and mind do not give
way prematurely under the strain, the
| haste to become rich is sure to destroy
the capacity for the enjoyment of
riches, and when man is stricken with
a sickness due to the continual strain to
which he puts himself IN the task of
piGng up wealth, he can only look back
upon his career and admit, when too
late to turn it to such use as he might
have most desired, that ''all is vanity
and vexation of spirit
Mr.. Rockefeller has turned some of
his wealth to philanthropic uses, though
that was to have been expected; but
this does not make amends for the fact
that his great wealth has been piled up
at the expense of the public. 1t was
made mainly in oil speculation, or
rather in the monopoly, with other
capitalists, of the production and sale of
that necessary commodity. These, or
other apologists for them, will no doubt
set up as an excuse or sort Of justifica-
ton of their monopolistic nanipulations
the circumstance that through their
plans of business the prices of the
products they control have been greatly
reduced to the consumer. This will not
be denied; but how much more
might the reduction not have been
and still left the monopoliSts
big profits? Or, if not thus still further
the burden of the consumer,
how much more comfort and happiness
could they have added to their army of
employees and their dependents by shar-
ing with them portion of their immense
profits in the shape OF increases of sala-
ries and wages2
The sum total of Mr.. Rockefeller's
wealth can only be guessed at. 1t has
been recently put at S100,000,000, and it
is question whether he or Gould or |
Vanderbilt were the richer. It seems to |
have been question that troubled no.
body but himself, however, except such |
as had an idle curiosity on the subject.

MAIzE-Y MOHLER.

There is a man by the name of Mohler
who halls from northwest Kansas. and
who as secretary of an incorporated body
known as the State Agricultural society,
draws a salary from the state treasury.
How all this is done was never ex-
planned. But this man Mohler from his
position is permitted to pass upon the
crops of Kansas, in fact to periodically
fix the agricultural status of the state.
The dispatches from him yesterday morn
ing compared with those from his office
Of less than a week ago, show just of how
much importance the opinions of the
man are, and what great harm he can
do the state. He seems to measure all
the great valleys and all the rich agricul-
tural sections of the state by the circum-
scribed surrounding of his home in north
west Kansas. Every few days the an
nOuncement is made in the dispatches
that Hon. Martin Mohler has left Topeka
for Osborne county to determine the
condition the crops of Kansas.
From reading about the secretary Of
the STATE board OF agriculture one would
be led 10 believe that Mohler's county
comprised the agricultural possibilities
of the commonwealth. Its comparative
Importance seems most fttingly repre-
scented in the character of the man

patches Of yesterday morning that he

A FAMOUS CAFE.

What Delmonieo's Is to New York Tor

ToFtoni! The name does not suggest

OF "reminiscences | have said that this
establishment IL one of the oldest in
Paris. IL was founded in 1913 by two
Italians, Valloni and Tortoni. It soon be-
came fashionable; gentlemen of the long
robe and functionaries frequented it.
Among the habitues was a lawyer named
Spolor, whose skill at billiards was sur.
prising.
Prince Talleyrsnd had such pleasure
in seeing Spolor play, he hid such conf
dence IN his game, that he invited him
one day to his house and presented hun
to one of his friends, the general receiver
for the department of the Vosges. also
a great billiard player and very proud of
his talent. a bet was made; a solemn
match was engaged between Spolor and
the receiver, who lost in q few hours
40, 600 francs. You see that IL is some
times useful to know how to play bill
iards.
One of the most curious types of the
Cafe Tortoni was Provost, one of the
walters, whose spine was as supple as
his conscience, and who never ap-
preached you unless bowed TO the
ground, and asking in his softest tones:
Pardon met A thousand pardonsl
Is monsieur good enough to desire any
thing"
1t was exquisite. What was no less so
to him-was that in giving change he
kept the best part of 1t for himself. II
detected by chance he had but TO repeat:
