At recent trial in Frunee 1t was
shown that the chemist, Turpin, who is
undergoing five years imprisonment
for treason, made arrangements with a
friend to carry on secret correspondence.
A letter from the prisoner, giving the
necessary directions to his friend, was
read in court An official inquiry was
made and some interesting information
supplied by the convicts, from which it
was shown that when private news was
to be supplied to prisoner a formal
letter. apparently containing nothing
of importance, was sent This, being
read by the governor, would be passed
on to the prisoner. who, understanding
the missive. and that it was only neces-
sary to read bet ween the lines written
in milk, he could make this perfectly
decipherable by rubbing it over with a

OPENING PROBLEMS.
The Cherokee Strip win Not BE Opened Z
Heller SHELTER Methods.

The Cherokee Strip Will Not BE Opened By
Heller SHELTER Methods. -.
WASHINGTON, April IL. : Secretary
Hoke Smith and Land Commissioner
Lamoreux are still struggling with the
prnblem of what scheme shall we
adopt to open the Cherokee strip and
parcel out the land As stated before
in these dispatches they have definitely
decided not to allow any personal selec-
ton of land by would-be settlers. None
of the race-horse methods that were
popular in the days of Oklahoma and
other openings is to obtain.
Its unfair" said Lamoreux. sit
gives the strong the advantage over the
weak, the rich over the poor that is I'M
American. Another thing: In this in
stance it presents difficulties. Here is
a whole, long line of east and west
quarter sections lying next to the Kan
sas line. They are among the most de-
sirabfe, too. Suppose $1,000 men range
themselves along that south line of
Kansas on the day of the start, it
is only one step and they are on these
quarter sections Who can say who
stepped first? A Thousand men might
claim the same quarter section and all
be equally right. They would all have
arrived here together with one step
like an immense rank of soldiers. That
sort of thing is to be obviated as well
as equal justice to be done"
1.-THE only other method then is a
lottery scheme" was suggested.
WELL" responded Lamoreux, slot
teries for some purposes are legal
49, ., oh nf Mis-
consin by lot"
Neither Lamoreux nor Smith would
give the details of their scheme, but as
far as they have thought it out-of
course the plan may be changed-but
to-day their idea. is as follows: They
will settle the number of land offices,
mark out the frontiers of each district.
In each district box for farm lands
and a box for whatever town or
towns are located therein will be
placed. These boxes will be
made up in the interior. department
in Washington and sent to the strip
ready for action. The farm box" will
contain cards, each one bearing the
description of some quarter section. 1t
will contain as many cards as there are
quarter sections to be looked after by
the land Office. 1t will be the same
with the town site box, save that the
cards will describe lots instead of quar-
ter sections.
Then when/a man settles what par
ticular region he desires to inhabit, he
will repair to that land office and draw
from the box and must abide by any
description, good or i'll, which chance
gives to him. The above is the scheme
and vivid imagination and a taste for
logical inquiry will be able to conjure
up a thousand agreeable and disagree
able possibilities in connection with it.

a RosEA1e SCHEME.

Prop:sitiosi to Build North and south
Railroad From til, Southwestern rom
tier to the Gu:f Coast.
Gov. Iewelling. of Kansas, lrtely re-
ceived from Gov. Crounse, of Nebraska
letter enclosing a set of concurrent
resolutions passed by the Nebraska leg
islature calling for convention OF del:
cgates from certain states Gov.
Crounse suggests that the place OF
meeting be at Lincoln, Neb, and the
time June1 l. The letter is accompanied
by copy of the resolutions in ques-
ton.
These call attention to the national
appropriation of 100000 for deep
water harbor. on the gulf coast, to the
necessity of a north and south railroad
to make such a harbor OF value to the
great interior basin of the continent,
and represents that tax of five cents
per acre on the lands of the ten great
states in said basin would construct u
line from the north line of Dakota to
the gulf at cost of $27, 500, 900. and
would leave a surplus of over 100000
1t is further stated that the exports
of all kinds from these ten states
| amount to 'S415, 100000 annually, on
which there would be direct saving in
transportation equal to 20 per cent, or
s95, 600, 600 annually, or sufficient in a
single year pay the cost of such road
| three and one-half times. 1t is further
| stated that the value of the arabic lands
in said basin would be enhanced at
least % per cent and the value of other
property proportionately increased by
such road and deep harbor amounting
| in all to a sum one hundred times
greater than the cost of the road.
The advantage would, it is suggested,
| also attract the great manufacturing
| industries to the interior valleys and
make them the most populous, as well
as the wcalthiest portion of the coun-
| try.
In view of all that is promised in this
decidedly roseate prospectus, it was re-
solved by the senate of the state OF
Nebraska, the house concurring, that
the said ten states should Immediately
take measures for cooperative effort
to build said road, with it's necessary
branches and feeders. and that when
| the same is built it should be owned by
| the people of the said ten states, and
operated as a single line at cost for the
benefit of its owners, viz, all the peo'
pie.
| 1t was also resolved that the governor
of Nebraska be requested to communi-
cate with the governors of North and
South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and the
territory of Oklahoma, aud propose
that a convention of delegates from
each of the said states, to be appointed
by the respective governors thereof, be
! held in the near future at some central
point, to discuss and mature ways and
means for the construction of said
north and south road.

Do women like. to shop? We know
the funny stories and the scrap ends OF
rhyme all about the woman who gathers

she? Does she really enjoy going

one woman out of fifty does, but the
other forty do it to save money.
Maybe for that one the bargain counter

Ingenious Kaffir Hoys.

The Kaffirs are great swimmers. They
can do things in the water which other
boys would look upon with astonish-
ment For example. a Kaffir boy can
ford stream, shoulder-high, running
as swiftly as if shot from a torrent
The way they accomplish this feat is
this: Just before entering the water
they get a large stone. sometimes rs
heavy as themselves. and with the help
of companion place it upon the head.
A weight like this gives the boy balance
and he can keep his footing against the
heaviest stream. II he were to drop
the stone, he would be SO light that the
water would sweep him off his feet.
And this is just one of the Kaf1ir tricks
to accomplish things against tide and
flood.-N. Y. Ledger.

was created last night when the COM
mittee of ways and means of congress,
in reporting the budget, announced that
a., 500, 600 would be needed for the gov
eminent expenses for the coming year.
In order to raise this they suggested an
export duty on hemp, coffee, hides.

there is a great deal of opposition to it
President Diaz, it is understood, is op-
posed to it very strongly, and will prob
ably defeat it, though the consensus OF
opinion is that it will go through.
