FACTS FROM FAR FORMOSA
CAUSES OF DISSATISFACTION on
THE ISLAND.
Six Main Reasons Given for Dssatis-
faction and Rebellion in Japan's
New Colonial Possession.

On the authority of some one who
has just returned from Formosa the
Yomiuri enumerates six main reasons
to which the proneness to disaffection
and rebellion in the island may be at
| tributed.
The first reason is that since the
occupation of Formosa by the Japa
nese the natives have been prohibited
from engaging without license in the
work of mining. Persons who former
ly were at liberty to mine are now un-
able to do so; the Kinshokri and Iu-
no 1.-TWO districts near Kelung) where
thirty to forty thousand persons were
occupied in collecting gold dust, are
now deserted. The people are too ig-
norant to understand how to set
about applying for a license, and the
! government has not been at the pains
to afford them much information on
| the subject. Some Japanese have OBJ
| tanned the necessary permits, but ow-
ing to the lack of capital very little is
done, and not infrequently the right
to engage in mining is only obtained
with the purpose of selling it to an
other. At present none but rebels
visit the places mentioned; commune
| catlOH WIN the ulSITlCtS is interrupt
ed and perilous, and folks who might
otherwise be earning an honest live
lihood are driven to turn bandits.
The second cause of discomfort is
the governments prohibition of coal
mining without official permit. To
be without coal is a hardship to the
people, for great part of the island
is destitute of fuel.
In the third place the natives do not
know how to apply for license to
collect compton, and here also lack of
capital hampers the industry
Fourthly the tea growing districts
are almost surrounded by the rebels,
and consequently they are not visit
ed by the tea merchants.
Filthy, the local authorities have
awakened a feeling of distrust in the
minds of the public by unjustly SEN
fencing people, with the result that
the relatives of persons who have been
beheaded resort to the ranks of the
rebels to have revenge.
Finally. the Chinese lost no oppor-
tunity of instigating the natives to re-
bel, and as over one hundred thous-
and people are without means of live
lihood it is easy to estimate the sue
cess that must attend their efforts.

I was Mortified the other day at being

of a party which had a similar expert
encc near this old tree three years ago,
and he said that the spot had been
haunted for many years. \ long time
ago an old gentleman by the name OF
Louis Streat was murdered for his
money, and the murderer had dragged
the body to the foot of this tree and
covered it with dead leaves. The muir

young man named Henderson was ar

his examining trial was liberated on
$1,000 bail. He jumped his bond and
disappeared some time afterward.

that the woman was correct. She beat
Rogers down from SIS to $40 on the
horse, and when the trade was closed
counted out the exact price in crisp new
bills.
To the information that the horse
kicked now and then, Mrs. Fisher re-
piled that she would attend to that all
right. She was the first woman horse
trader to strike the town, and the horse
men got interested in her. That aft
ernoon she left for Perryville, in tho
west end of the county. The following
day two men came to town, hired rig
from Rogers, and went in search of the
female horse trader. They did not
leave their names, but said they were
Eer husband and brother. At Perry
Vile they lost track of her, although
they learned there that she had bought
another horse. A few days Letter news
came from Parksville that Mrs. Fisher
was there, and was on the horse market.
There, it was reported, she encountered
some of the shrewdest traders in the
business, and held her own with them.
Monday of this week, which was "coun-
ty court day" in Danville, Mrs. Fisher
returned to that city, and was con-
spicuous on Jockey Row, where horse
swappers from several counties congre-
gate and ply their trade.
Mrs. Fisher could jump upon the Wild
est sort of quicker" and ride down the
row with the best of the boys. When
she put her horse up for the night at the
livery stable she unbuckled the girth,
snatched the saddle from its place and
carried the outfit into the building like
an old hand at the business. This
caused the boys to open their eyes with
additional wonderment.
The other day two other men arrived
on the lookout for Mrs. Fisher. They
said they were her father and brother.
She was located in DanVIle and went
away with them. Mrs. Fisher, while in
Danville, conducted herself in a highly
proper manner, but she astonished the
old horse traders hereabouts by her
knowledge of the business and her skill
as an equestrienne.

ANTARCTIC ICEBERGS.
Some of Them Are Fully Two Miles
Square.

Some of Them Are Fully Two Miles
The snowfall of each year adds new
stratum to this ice cap, which is as dis
tinguishable to the eye as is the annual
accretion of forest tree, says the
Ladies' Home Journal. Thus N
centuries have accumulated on Ant
arctica these SHOWS, which, by processes
of pressure, thawing and regulation,
have formed an ice cap that in places
exceeds 5000 feet in thickness. Through
the action of various forces-that of
contraction and expansion by changing
temperature being, perhaps, the most
potent-this ice cap creeps steadily sea-
ward and projects into the ocean per-
pendicular front from 1000 to 1000 feet
in height. The temperature of the sea
water being about 20 degrees, the fresh
water ice remains unwasted, and the
ice-barrier plows the ocean bed until
through floating in deep water dis
ruption occurs, and the tabular berg is
formeds These bergs are of n size that
long taxed the belief of men, but it is
now well established that bergs two
miles square and 1000 feet in thickness
are not rare; others are as large as 80
miles in length and some nearly 1900
feet in thickness, their perpendicular,
sides rising from 200 to 400
feet above the sea.

Stowe, a messenger boy, damaging
the machine somewhat.
Officer Pat Stevens arrested Crevalle
for leaving his horse united and he

who left the wheel standing carelessly
was as much at fault as Crevalle.

A CITY CREDITOR KICKS .

And Asks What Are You Going To Do
About 1t.
To the Light:
1t is reported that it is the intention
of the new administration to pay sal
aries for March on Saturday of this
week and allow the old pay checks to
stand unpaid. This will. work a hard
ship on the merchants who have TAX
en- their time checks in good faith and
will so reflect on the others that have
not been turned over for debt or sold
that no one will buy them. Such a
policy will hurt the city and ought
not be pursued. If this policy can not
be prevented by an injunction the ones
who hold these time checks ought to
sue the city and have it declared bank
rupt. All honest debts ought to be
paid in the way they iall due. The
policy of paying the March salaries
may leave the others unpaid for sew
eral months or even a year, when on
all just grounds they ought to be paid
first. What are the city's creditors
going to do about it?
