JUDGE TERRELL MISTAKEN.
His Assertion That the Capitol Lands Are
Owned Chiefly b Aliens Contra
dicted by c. b. Farwel!, Chicago.
Editor Gazette.


CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 16.-My at
tention has been called to letter
written by Judge A. W. Terrell, Austin,
relating to the Alien Land law, and publish
ed IN recent issue of your paper. In this
letter he states that the capitol lands are
now chiefly owned by Aliens The
Judge is mistaken in this.
l wish to state that while the Capitol
freehold land and investment company,
limited, is incorporated under the laws of
Great Britain, that 1T the present time
FULLY ninety per cent of the stock OF this
company is owned by citizens of our own
country, and who are resididg in it. and
that at no previous time has a less percent
age OF the stock been owned by citizens of
this country
It would be needless to recite to residents
of the Panhandle the benefits that have ac-
crued to that section of the country from
the occupancy of these lands by our COM
pany, but if Judge Terrell would take the
pains TO make comparison of the assessed
values in these counties for this year and
for any year prior to our occupancy, with
the assessed values of the counties adjOin-
ing us on the south and the northern tier of
counties on the east of us for the same
years, | think he will fail to find that our
ownership of these lands has been deUri-
mental to the country.
We yield to no one in our desire for the
advent of the man with the hoe, y and as
an earnest Of this l will state that our COM
paRy has recently, and at 4 considerable eX-
pense, had resurveyed and divided Great
many thousand acres of its land into parcels
varying from two hundred to six hundred
and forty acres, which it is now selling to
settlers on easy terms and long time. We
have no desire to hold these lands moment
after they are wanted by the settler Yours
very truly, Z. b. kARWELL.

ASTORIA, ORE, Aug. ia letter has
Just been received here from the hunting
and exploring party which LEFT this city
ing the uneXplCred regions of Alaska from
Sitka TO the mouth of the Tanauaa river
where II einpLies into the Yukon ~ Nuklu-
kayet. The letter was written from the
latter place and came here by q sailing YES
sci from Leather village at the mouth of
the Yukon, where il had been sent by In
dians. The letter IS 4 large budget. and
shows the travels Of the party across the
bleak lands of Central Alaska They Went
over thousands OF miles of the wild. snow
covered territory which stretches from
Sitka northwaTd 10 the Yukon river
There were hundreds Of interesting me-
dents narrated, but what was the most SEN
sational was the finding OF the body OF a
man encased in the center of 4 namIrC-h
iceberg The ice WIS perfectly clear and
was fully fifty feet thick. The body was
almost in the center OF the block, and was
apparently IN the same condition as when
first dead
The party Went TO work to DIG the BODY
out, to see Ii there was anything on it that
would determine its probable age. 1t was
hard task, and took five days to complete
it. The body was that of an Alaskan In
dian, and was dressed in q full suit of seal
skin. There was nothing to indicate the
time it had been in its ICY tomb, or to show
the cause of death. The body was buried
in the snow. It was at first supposed that
1t was cOntempOran6Ous with the mammoth
ana other animals which have been found:
in icebergs, but the fact that the features
bore all the characteristics Of the modern
Indians and the clothing was of d simiiar
make as that Worn now, gives the irlnres-
sion that 1t had not been in the berg over
htty or u hundred years.

Mr.. WICKLIN OF Arkansas City,
Kan, is farmer who has been more
than usually successful with his
work, and thereby excited the envy of
his neighbors The Kansas method OF
satisfying envy is thus related by the
Globe-Democrat's dispatch from Ar
kansas City, which also speaks great
volumes ior the Kansas chivalry and
regard for woman:
Recently three runians set upon his CNIr
Wicklin's) wife and beat her almost TO
death while he was away from home.
Finally Mrs. Wicklin recovered from her
injuries, and Air. Wiclllin, whose health
was poor, went to Ohio or a visit, where ne
now is, in dying condition. 4 few days
since Mrs. Week.-Mrs. brother died at 4 small
town IN Oklahoma, ana the body was sent
to Bolton township for burial, and because
the BODY was so badly decayed tbs inter
ment took place at midnight. At the GENE
terry Il committee of men stepped UP to the
cof1in and demanded that II be opened, SO
that they could see the corpse. The request
was refused, but the doctors certificate was
shown them. The next night after the
burial party called at the Wicklin resi-
dence and We're driven away by Mrs. Wick
lin with a shotgun. To-day Mrs. Wicklin
was in the city to secure protection from
the officers. On her return home she found
the following printed upon a sheet Of note
paper and pinned upon her door:
