WAS A WIDESPREAD PLOT
The Jameson Raid Part Of an Ex-
tensive Scheme.
President Kruger's Determination to
Void Jameson Till the Abroga-
lion OF British %suzerainty
Causes Uncasiness.

London, Jan. 11.-Adylces from
Blaemfontein. the capital of th,- Orange
Fee State, say that the delegates of
the Orange Free State who were sen.
to Pretoria to confer with the govern
msnt of the South African republic and
proffer to the Transvaal government
the assistance of tle Orange Free State
II it should be required, have return~d
TO Bloemfon se!n and reported to tie
raad (tne executive corps>. sThe dele
cation represent that documents have
been discovered disclosing a widespread
plot. of which the DR.. Jameson raid into
he Transvaal was a part. The dele
gates entirely absolve Governor Rob
inson of the Cape Colony of all knowl-
edge of the conspiracy.
Dispatches from Johannesburg dated
January 8, say that the situation there
has become more grave in consequence
of the conditions imposed by President
Kruger that the release of Jameson and
his followers shall be contingent upon
the abrogation Of the convention OF
1884. thereby making the Transvaal re-
public an absolutely Independent state.

viii Remove stains from Marble.

Muriatic acid will remove the stains
from the marble basins. etc, in the
bathroom. A daily application of sand
soap is a good cleanser, but during the
summer months when houses are closed
and the daily cleansing does not occur.
q stain is formed that defies the effort OF
usual household cleansers. 1t is now
that muriatic acid will perform what
other appliances have failed to do. Let
the water be shut off, the basin emptied
completely and dried, the mnriatic acid
applied with a small rag upon the end
of a stick; the stain viii disappearin.
simultaneously. The basin should then
be Immediately scrubbed with soap and
water and flushed to remove all traces
of the acid. Care should be taken in
keeping it from dropping upon the
plumbing attachments, as its strong
acid properties will effncs silver plating
and the like, but care must also be
taken that it is not allowed to touch
either hands OF clothes.

The popular belief that Texas Is the
most lawless state in the union results
from the appalling death ratefrom gum
shot wounds. 1t is a fact. however, that
Texas is one of the most law-abiding
states aside from this method of punish
ing l~aw-breakers by insertions of cold
lead instead Of the forms of justice COM
mon in other states, says the N. Y.
Sun.
1t is a mistake to suppose that Texas
is a Hat, t~reeless plain, heated to 100
degrees in the summer and inhabited
by long-haired men who beguile their
time in playing poker and drinking
whisky.
A lo%cal-option law prohibits the sale
of liquor except in the larger cities. 1t
is almost impossible 10 get q drink of
whisky in any of the towns and a MAJ
found drunk is always locked up.
In the ranch country away from the
railroads there are two classes of
society, the native element and the peo-
pie who have come from other states to
raise cattle and horses for the eastern
market. The natives are very careful
in barring out the newcomers from their
merry-makings and social events. A
ST: anger Yho pays court TO the danght,
els or sisters of the native Texan is often
found lying in the road with a bullet in
his back.
The social evil is disposed of by sum-
mary methods. All suspicious women
are driven from the range in double-
quick time aud in cities of 10. 900 to 90
900 people it is diff ait TO find a ques-
tionable resort. If Il ranchman secures
q cook or h~ousekeeper who may seem
too young or attractive he receives
notice to get rid of her in ten days; ii
she does not go within the prescribed
time she is hustled out of the country
or the ranchman ma be found dead in
the road. The %coroner's jury will, OF
course, return a verdict of death from
natural causes.
If a ranchman brings his wife to the
country the other ranchmen within a
distance of twenty miles bring their
"women folks" to call. Ii they find it
is a marriage without a certificate the
usual punishment is administered.
Apparently the only law that can be
broken with impunity is that agains,
murder. Last winter sixty-two men
in Il town of 5000 people in one of the
COW counties disappeared within thirty
days by the cold-lead route aud little at
teution was given TO the events,

Powerful Battleships.

The battleship Massachusetts, will go

pect in a conflict with the Royal Oak as
the Indiana against the Royal Sover-

Monterey would be a good match for the

Oregon is a sister of the Indiana and
