 Suddenly just as ne had lighted and returned smoking it, he heard a frantic shout, and glancing up he saw young Kellar dash forward and fire at some one behind him (Jack) Simultaneously he felt a sharp agoniZing pain in his back and knew that inc was struck by poi soned spear. An Arab, who had beer concealed in bush, had crept ont and stabbed him before young Kellar could intervene.
 He had staggered and then fallen on his face, and they thought that he was dead for n minute. But when they lifted him and were carrying him away faint flicker of the old fun came into his fad ing blue eyes as he said:
 ''I wanted Violet and the ". C. sc much. S'pose twas Satan"-
 Before he could finish the sentence the fading light went out, and the blue eyes closed forever in this world.

 Colonel Branksholme's mouth twitch- ed, anl his steady. fearless gray eyes filled with tears as he spoke. But this was more for the fine young soldierly life which had been cut short in its glory than for the desolate girl who was left to mourn it. However, he fulfilled his task so sympathetically that Violet soor found her greatest comfort in talking of her lost lover to his gallant chief.

How the Bicycle surky Helps Horses.

The marvellous performances of Dircc- tum, Nancy Hanks and AliN at Chicago have revived the question us to the increase of speed given to n trutter hitched to the modern bike" Grit" Davis said recent ly that if it were not for the bicycle sulky he could, not drive trutting races. "I weigh 1S3 pounds, !" he went on, "so that if I were [ 0 try to drive Marietta or any of the others that can trot heat after heat in 2:15 it would cause them to go back to about 2:20. There is not the slightest friction to a bicycle sulky with pneumatic tires and ball bear ing axles, so that, as heavy as am, have as good chance as any of the lightweight drivers"
 Mir. Davis is veteran driver, and his opinion is likely to be accepted by many that the modern bicycle sulky is at least four seconds faster than the old style Robert Bonner has said frequently that the horses have not improved nearly Rs fast as the tracks and the sulkies.

but to get out in the field there is a
great many dead blades on it and un-
less we have rain soon the crop will

We see from our exchanges that
Oxford is soon to have a Masonic
lodge. Oxford has the oldest and one
of the best Masonic lodges in the
county and they have the "cool" cash
to erect a nice hall for their home in

lodge has crept out Of the fact that
they applied for charter under the
state law to enable them to transact
legal business.
The fruit in this part of the county
is not all killed yet; while some or

The Gold Conspiracy.
70 the Editor of the Republic

~ buC EultOI vi but htpuDllC.
Your editorial in the Republic of
April 2S favOring an income tax pay
able in gold in order to keep a supply
of gold in the treasury at all times is
highly cOmmendable. Why not 90 a
step further and create or impose an
equitable tax on all properties and
thus force PlutOcratS Carnegie. Gould,
Vanderbilt ct al to pay their share of
taxes to support both state and ma
tiOnal governments and dispense with
that bugabOO called tariff? How are
the Democrats going to reduce the
tariff in any other way. as it seems
the revenues now collected barely
support the government. Do you
think the congress elected in the wear
of grace 1892 will ever pass a bill au-
thOrizing an income tax of any kind?
If so, you are utterly mistaken. And
if it does, Mr.. Cleveland will veto it.
Secretary CarliSle'S idea favOring the
payment of treasury notes redeem
able in coin" in silver was strictly
in keeping with the principles of
Democracy, but Mr.. G. c. interposes
and says he had never contemplated"
paying or redeeming them in any
thing but gold. This same Grover
Cleveland is the man that was elected
on platform pledged to coin both
gold and silver on an equal basis,
but it now appears that he wants the
Sherman silver act repealed uncOn-
ditionally. How anyone can indOrse
the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver and at the same
time indOrSe Cleveland is more than
| can see through. Mr.. Gresham is
now good Democrat. So would
John Sherman or William Mckinley
have been good Democrats had they
been asked into the cabinet. Success

entry and commence his settlement
and improvements.
26. The entry can be made only by
the soldier in person at the local land
office, and he must commence his set
tlement on the land within six
months after his filing, and must con-
tinue to reside on the land and culti-
vate it for such period as, added to
his military service, will make five
years. But he must actually reside
upon the land at least one year, what
ever may have been the period of his
military service.
q. Entries cannot be made for a
soldier by an agent or attorney.
2S. After declaratory statement
has been filed, whether by an agent
or otherwise, the soldier cannot file
again. His rights are exhausted by
the first filing, and if he does not,
within six months, make his personal
entry at the land office and commence
his settlement as required by law, he
retains no right to the land.
29. A soldiers homestead declar-
atOry statement for a tract of land
does not prevent anybody else from
making an entry of the same land,
and subject to such rights as the SOL
dier may acquire by virtue of actual
residence on the land and full COM
pliance with the law. If the soldier
does not establish his residence on
| the tract as required, the next owner
may take the land.
30. Soldiers are not entitled to
land, nor to bounty land warrants,
for their military service in the late
war, nor can title to land be obtained
for them by agents or attorneys. All
representations to the contrary are
false, and soldiers and sailors are
warned against imposition by parties
who offer to locate land for them, or
to sell their rights.
Yours Respectfully,

Exit Judge Ray.
WELLINGTON, Mayo, 1893,

EDITOR VOICE:-One word upon
the law touching the stenographer's
fees, and / am done.
The act which l cited in my last is
the law of the case and it has never
been repealed or modified. 1t is not
true, as you state, that the legisla-
ture in 1891 took the matter out OF
the hands Of the district court. Un-
der the law appeals can be taken
from the board of county commits
SionerS to the district court, in which
case the district court reviews the
finding OF the board Of county COM
missioners, but in no case can an ap-
peal be taken from the district court
to the board of county commissioners
and whenever the board of county
commissioners undertake, as they
have in this case, to control the dis
trict court, they are usurping power.
1t is wholly immaterial to me as to
how the stenOgrapher gets his fees
from the county, so long as he does
not collect illegal fees, and have no
disposition to criticise or interfere
with The board of county commits
siOners or complain of the amount
they allow anyone, but when it comes
to question of law, l know, and
everybody else that reads the law
knows, that the county commissioners
have no authority whatever to fix the
compensation of a court stenOgrapher,
or the amount to which he is enti-
tied for any service as court stenogra-
pher. Respectfully,
