the darkness, was now plainly visible
and the crOuched form of the robber
appeared as plain as on the day he
had sneaked out of camp at the COM
mand of the same men.
The crowd waited almost breath
lessly.
"Quick p shouted Big Frank who
was leader.
Saddle Horse Pete almost
shouted the parson.
The crowd broke out in jeers.
"Oh, no p they said; that can't
be. He was drove, an he's notlkely
to show his head anywheres 'roun'

ag'in."
"Once ag'in. Aire We ready ?"
shouted Big Frank.
YES" came the calm but deter
mined voices of the two men at the
ends of the plank.

an unwilling participant.
Pray, then y shouted the leader
Parson Tom stood erect, with
bowed head. Slowly and with firm
ness he lifted his voice. Suddenly
he faltered, turning his face toward
the mountain.
Hark Look The excited group
of men stood there riveted to the
ground. The hand of those who held
the plank we're frozen as if in death S
clutch. The tongue of him whose
word was law was paralyzed. The
sound which filled their ears carried
more terror to their souls than the
awful roar of battle, the rushing of
the mighty waters in a storm at sea,
and the rumbling of an earthquake,
all combined, could have inspired.
On it came, tearing from their
roots great trees that had withstood
the storms of generations hurting
heavy branches, logs, timbers and
rocks hundred feet above the heads
of the frightened witnesses. Great
clouds of snow filled the air and hid
from view the surrounding noun
tains.
Not man in that group, all hud-
died together like so many frightened
animals, but comprehended the stu
alton in an instant.
These men who were brave enough
of heart to have fought with the in
SEPARATION of patriotism on the field
of battle, or faced with fearless cour-
age the oceans wrath, or listed with
out the faintest dread to the earth
quake's fearful rumblings, stood now
trembling like little children in the
face of snOwslide.
Swift as a meteor it came, and, like
the bursting Of a thunderbolt, had
spent its wrath and its dreadful
harvest lay scattered far and wide,
like dead and wounded soldiers on a
battlefield.
And when the sky had cleared there
lay, at the feet of them who held a
life within their grasp, a dead and
frozen human form. Tight against
the breast, the clutched and stifened
fingers of the dead held the buckskin
bag of mOney-the evidence of Par.

For often at morn, when we thought they

We found them the source OF an exquisite

The meanest and queerest that nature can

How gentlywe touched them with hands that

And saw that the soft stockings fitted them

But soon, when cur minds we're with peace

The shoes rubbed the blisters that came on

How soon, from the tormenting pain to re-

We sat down on the curb, and sent on our

Not the whole Midway Plaisance could please

Though filled with the wonders the Orient

Our hearts with regret do intrusively beat,
As fancy reverts to the great exhibition,
And thinks of the blisters that came on our

The successful cultivator must
know how and when to apply water
to his crops. Moisture at the roots
is absolutely necessary to plant
life, but if it be applied in too
large quantities and allowed to
stagnate either above or below the
surface, it becomes absolutely harm
full, and many crops are seriously
injured by such excessive irrigation.
The only safe method is to Guilt
vate as soon after each irrigation
as the land is dry enough, then
give another irrigation two or three
weeks later, and continually exam
inc the land about one foot from
the surface. So long as the soil at
this depth is sufficiently moist to
roll up in your hand into a ball,
very few crops need irrigation

Fhe Land Court Set,

A recent dispatch says the House
committee on Judiciary has sub
mitted favorable report on the
bill Of Delegate Smith of Arizona
TO amend the law Rotating to the
Court of Private Land Claims
The present law, says the report,
exempts from confirmation Mexican
land grants and land Within the
boundaries of such grants from
which the Government of the
United States had parted with it's
title. Parties living on land grants
were in position to apply to the
United States Cor patents, and
much of this land has been patented
to individual settlers. Amendment
of section 8 of this land court act
will place settlers on unsuryeyed
lands within grant.
In other words, person living
on unsuryeyed lands. no matter
what the extent of his improve
ments may be, cannot obtain a
title from the Government under
the present law. Under this
anomalous condition it appears
that q recent settler of twenty
years within the same grant, with
the expenditure of a great deal
more money, cannot obtain title
from the Government until the
land is surveyed, and therefore he
is subject to any Judgment con-
cerning the grant. He could be
ousted ct the suit of a grant
claimant after confirmation. A
more regent settler on surveyed
lands within the grant claimant
would be secure against suit from
a land grant claimant. There is
no reason for this distinction, and
this the bill attempts to remedy.

The fnanciers of London, Berlin

The financiers of London, Berlin
and the other money centers of the
old world are engaged in the nego-
tiation of a loan of $4,000, 900 for
China, to be used in the carrying
on of its war with Japan. These
negotiations have already affected
the price of silver. In Amsterdam
for example, it took an advance in
the open market from AZ to 48
guilders per kilo fine. The neces-
sity of meeting all payments in
both China and Japan in the white
metal will cause demand on this
country which should again give to
silver mining boom. 1t is an i'll

ELECTION FRAUDS IN THE SOUTH.

Yesterday the PRESS repu blished
from the Atlanta Constitution, the most
prominent and influential Democratic
paper of Georgia, letter from gen
tleman well known in the state and
closely connected with politics. declaring
that the recent election in that state,
was in many places little more than a
farce. The letter does not deal in gilt
tering generalities, but explains how,
when and where, and by whom the cleo
tors were duped. Nothing is more COM
mon, of course, than for defeated party
to make charges of fraud and when the
allegations are of a general character
they get and in most cases are entitled
to but scant attention. But 1t is differ
ent when the charges are specific and
names are given and processes are de-
scribed, because while men will fire.
ruently make general allegations which
cannot be either proved or disproved,
they will rarely make definite specfica-
tions unless they are sure that the evi-
delce is at hand to support them. Such
specifications, impressive under any cir
cumstances, become much more impress
sive when they are made in community
that has become habituated to crooked
practices at elections, and has grown to
look upon them indulgently, and ever
approvingly, on the notion that they are
necessary to ensure good government,
because in such community the expos
er of them renders himself unpopular
and subjects himself perhaps to social
ostracism.
In such community, all mans
social and business interest impel him
to shut his eyes and his mouth, and,
when in spite of them he opens both, as
this contributor to the Atlanta Consti-
tution has done, that fact alone is proof
almost as strong as holy writ that the
mans sense of justice and fair play has
been outraged until he can stife his voice
no longer. Under such circumstances,
it can safely be presumed that a man S

utterances will be nothing but the exact

be accepted as faithful portrayal of

that is new. It's significance lies in the
fact that it comes from quarter where

| constant assertion that all stories OF

Northern Republicans for political pur-
poses, and that as matter OF TACT elec-
tions there were fair and free.

voice in not the voice of outraged JUS
tice. but the voice of disappointment at
being defeated for the United States
Senate by Ben Tillman. A different
motive moves him to speak, but there is
little doubt but he tells the truth. The
m ethods which he helped invent to
cheat the negro have been employed
now to cheat him. Had the cheating
accrued to his advantage he would have
said nothing about it. His chagrin and
disappointment have betrayed him into
confession that the election methods
methods which the Democrats invented
years ago-are dishonest and that the
will of the people is defeated by trick
cry and fraud.
From Virginia also comes demand
that election frauds shall cease. "Can
Virgi iaps,n excIaims the Richmond
Sun, "view without shame and anger the
manner in which our state elections are
| manipulated and falsified by public offic-
ers sw orn to protect the citizen in the
exercise of his privilege as voter? Not
long ago high Democratic Official had
the audacity to declare that he was
there to perform his functions in the
interest of the Democratic party, and not
in the interest of the people. To what
condition of lethargy m ust we of this
ancient commonwealth have descended,
when SO lmpudent statement can be
made without the instant dismissal of
its shameless author from the hig h
office which be SO fagrantly corrupted
and disgraced."
AS long as the negro was the only one
cheated the Southern white man was
dumb, and the negro was either kept
from complaining by intimidation, or if
he made complaints they went unheed-
ed but now that the white voters have
split up the truth is, coming out, the
corrupt election practices heretofore de-
MED are confessed, and. there is growing
up in every Southern state demand
which cannot long 60 unheeded. for

An interview with President Have

An interview with President Have
meyer of the Sugar Trust is published
in which he is made to say that If Con-
gress should put sugar on the free list
the refineries would have to shut down
indefinitely. His meaning is, doubt
less, that if refined sugar were free this
would happen, but raw sugar was free
under the Mckinley law. and the rein
cries continued prosperous. The remov-
al of the duty from refined sugar would
very likely produce the effect Mr.. Have
meyer claims, unless there was large
reduction Of wages among the refinery
employees; for the competition of foreign
refined sugar could not. be borne without
some reduction of cost, and the only
chance for sucn reduction is in the
wages of LABOR.

individuals made the grandstand the
headquarters of any amount of
hoodlumism, and disguised a number
OF people SO that they will hereafter
stay from the games. There is no
objection to cheering or even an occa-
sional roast from the stand, but
when there is one incessant babble
through an entire game, it is time to
put stop to it. So demonstrative
and so abusive did these disturbers
become to one another at one time
that the interference of an officer was
necessary. Umpire Ward was ont the
