found to their amazement that they had been
forestalled. Rhodes and Birnato had, with
consummate shrewdness. p)unced down on
the gold bearing reef. which extend I'd
about 40 miles from east to wrS'. and had
picked out the very heart of the rich le lyrs.
Their claims Gee ipied about two miles of
the centre, and every subterfuge possible UNI
der the extremely lax laws of the Transvaa
wa, resorted to in order t. make these
claims legal. What has sin sc become known
as the Barnato circle then began to eXer-
else the wonderful control that has made
South Africa "A very toy in its hands. Bar
nato and Rhodes gave the cOnflding public
a chance to become owners in some of the
mines which they had boldly usurped. The
innate genius of Rhodes. aided by the in
herited shrewdness of Barnato. was revealed
wheE they began organizing company after
company. with capitals ranging from $780,
900 to $4,000. 900 and floating the stocks in
European markets. As high as three COM
panies under the BarnatO regime were
floated in one week. and wealth rolled to
the Golfers of the projectors of the multifa-
rious schemes faster than ever.

record is known set in. The circle ran

was receiving 60 and 20 per cent. of the
capital OF the companies for property
rights, kept unloading stock until it seemed
that the most Unsuitable greed must have
been satisfied many times over. From a
rude KafIir settlement Johannesburg grew
to be a town of so. 900 people-an American

They did not stop at that. The TransvaaI

THINK FOUL PLAY.
Excitement Over Death OF Maine
Farmer-visCera to BE Examined.

CHINA. Me-, June is The sudden death
of Homer II. Freeman of this town has
caused much excitement. There is quite q
general belief among the neighbors that tho
death was caused by foul play. Freeman
was an industrious farmer, and worth
considerable property. His family con-
sisted of a wife. two sons, George
ter, Annie. The sons are 43 and 80
years Old respectively, and own farms in the
neighborhood. MIR. Freeman was 70 years
old, his wife g., and they had been married
"A years. MIR. Freeman weighed 200 pounds,
and vas feet 10 inches in height. He was
always n strong. robust man, and his sons
says he never knew an i'll day. Mrs.
Freeman; however, says he had suffered
with bad pains for the past year, and
that most of his work had to be done by
hired help-Edwin Mitchell, u native of the
town. Last Saturday Freeman worked
about his place all night and early Sunday
morning was found dead by his wife in his
own bed. The physicians who examined
the remains found no bruises. but there was
a discoloration of the skin which might be-
caused by death from apoplexy or poison.
Freeman, disappeared. and after MIR.
Freemans death stories were circulated
which caused suspicion to arise, and 80 1t
was decided to notify Coroner Jones
of Augusta. Mr.. Jones impanelled a
jury. and it was decided that an autopsy
must be made. Drs. o. J. Nelson, C. j.
Lincoln, Ii. II. Crookson and d. A. Ridley
performed the autopsy, and reported
that they found a confusion OF the left tenn
pie region. but no absolute cause for death.
The corOner's jury returned as their verdict
that Freeman came to his death by causes to
them unknown. These verdcts have tended
to add to the mystery surrounding the case,
and the viscera Of the deceased will be sent
TO the Bowdoin medical school for examna.

Water Gas.

For many years there has been more
or less said and written about water
gas, but efforts to introduce it have
not been successful. While there are
certainly many points in its favor it is
remarkable that none of the large gas
companies are using it. Recently a
commission was appointed to investi,
gate and ascertain why it was not
used, as it was cheap and easily man
aged. 1t was found that water gas of
average quality contained large
amount of neutrality-suspicious. as
much as forty per cent. and was dan
gerous to use even for purposes of ex-
pertinent. The process most APP
proved is that of making the gas by
the decomposition of water, which
produces the odorless carbonic oxide
and hydrogen mixture.
