RICHARD CROKER'S MONEY.
A Good Deal of His Property Heavily
MOrtRaged.
From the New York Press

From the New York Press.
A dispatch from Nashville says that Mr..
Croker has sold his interest in famed
Belle Meade to Gen. w. H. Jackson, from
whom he purchased it several years ago.
What this interest amounts to we never
have been able to find out In 1898 Mr..
Townsend, representing the Independent
county organization for the suppression of
Croker, charged that the boss had in
vested $250,0C0 in a stock farm, and this is
Mr.. Croker's reply:
well l own an interest in the stock of
a farm which stands for $250000. 1 hope
it is worth ii, and guess 1t is. The reports
of the racing season OS93). printed in the
newspapers, show that my horses won
$99, 900 clear. But / will give Mr.. Town
send $195,000 If he will pay what / owe on
the purchase money of that $3.50 $50 of
stock. That is 5000 less than owe on it,
but think l ought to have that much for
dealing with him."
If we accept this statement as true-and
why should we not?-Mr. croker actually
owned a small part Of Belle Meade his in
terest being $4,000 while the rest of his
investment, $4,000, was bond and mort
gage If he has sold back to Gen. Jack
son he is lucky to have received as much
as $4,000 His new home In East Seven
ty-hfth streets, is said to have cost him
$50 900, but he declares there was mort
gage on it for $4,000.

How the Zuni Indians Punish sus-
pected sOrcerers.


From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Zuni Indian reservation, comprising
215. c4O acres, is situated in the western
part of New Mexico, fifty miles south of
the Santa Fe Pacific railroad. 1t has a
:arser population than any of the other
eighteen pueblos scattered throughout
the territory, according to the last census
the tribe numbering 1921 men, women and
children The Zunis are very superstiti-
GUS and their belief in a supposed witch
has led to the execution and torture of
many of their members, who have been
brought before their high tribunal, tried
and found guilty Of witchcraft. II the
governor of the Zunis or any of his as
sistants are taken sick the witches are
charged with bringing on the afhiction;
failure of crops, seasons OF drought OF
heavy rains are attributed TO their power;
caiamities Of all kinds are supposed to
be the result Of witchcraft. Only a few
years ago a woman was accused OF bring
ing on a plague of grasshoppers to the
Zunl valley, and she and her son were
executed in horrible manner.
They sheriff of Valencia county, with an
escort of United States cavalry from Fort
Wingate, appeared at the village of Zuni
about the middle OF September last and de-
manded the Indians who were accused OF
maltreating a squaw named Marta, whom
they called witch. Four of the Indians
were arrested and placed in the county
iail at Los Lunas, and at their preliminary
hearing Sept. 20, were bound over TO the
grand jury in the sum of 5000 each. To-
melike or Nick, an Indian who had been
fearfully tortured, was also taken TO Los
Lunas as witness. Miss de Settle, the
principal Of the school at Zuni, and Miss
Faurote, her assistant, who are expected
to testify against the offenders, remain
ed at the Indian village under the protec-
ton Of United States cavalry.
These arrests were mainly brought about
through the efforts of Capt Charles f.
Nordstrom, United States army who In
March last was detailed as acting Indiar
agent Of the Pueblos and Jlcarilas. The
captain has had many years experience
with Indians In the southwest and the ar
rest Of the ringleaders proves him TO b

PHILADELPHIA's SOUTHERN TRADE
Could BE Made Much Larger BY
Energetic Work.
From the Philadelphia Times.


From the Philadelphia Times.
The Savannah News, one of the leading
journals of the south. answers In a nut
shell the question of southern trade with
Philadelphia. Noticing and commencing
the article in the Times urging closer
commercial and trade relations between
Philadelphia ard the south, the News
says: THE south would be pleased TO
have closer commercial communication
with Philadelphia. She would like to
have the Quakers enter the list with the
New Workers. and compete for supplying
her with the millions of dollars worth
of commodities which she needs and pur-
chases each year. But If the Quakers
want the trade they must work for it,"
None who are familiar with the sent:,
nents of the business men Of the south
viii doubt that the statement made by
our southern contemporary, assuring US
that the south would be pleased to have
closer commercial relations with Phila,
delphia," w!ll doubt the sincerity of the
statement. The south, as every other sec
ton of the country wants to trade just
where they can trade to the best advan.
tage, and they know that in many lines
they could deal in Philadelphia on better
terms that M other cities of the union
II equal inducements were held out 10
them by our business men.
A large portion Of the products OF our
industries consumed in the south can be
furnished more cheaply Ia Philadelphia
with our bourse to enable merchants to
deal at first hands and at first cost, than
they can be obtained elsewhere and the
plain truth Is told when we are informed
that IF the Quakers want the trade
they must work for it,
Philadelphia has failed in organized et-
fort to secure her just proportion of the
southern trade. II has become one Of the
most valuable and profitable trade of any
section of the country, and is certain TO
Increase in value with great rapidity In
the near future. We have every needed
advantage TO give proper Inducements to
bring southern dealers to our city but we
have failed to work for this trade and
until we DO work for IL intelligently, sys-
tematically and earnestly, we will not OBJ
tain it. Ii Philadelphia does not greatly
enlarge her southern trade, IL must he
the fault of our own people and not the
fault Of the south

DUNHAM DAY.
WaycrOss Appreciates the Plant Sys-
TENS Work For the Fair.

"oycEoss APPRECIATES the PIant SyS-
TENS Work For the Fair.
Waycross, Ca, Nov. 9.-The Plant sys-
tenn rendered the Waycross Fair Associa-
ton much assistance in the way of cheap
rates, attendance of employees and trans
portation of exhibits. Maj, Bradford Dun
ham, general superintendent of the COM
pany, was a strong supporter of the fair,
and the association remembered him very
appropriately by naming one day as
Durham day" Maj. Durham was proud
of the honor, and sent two thousand en-
ployes to the fair on Friday. He was not
able to attend in person, but was repre-
sented by Col. McLendon of Townsville
and the hosts of employees. Everybody in
Waycross wanted to celebrate Durham
day, and Durham badges were at prem
ium long before the employees were sup
piled, and there We're no more to
be had. The Plant system has
planted Waycross and watered
her and the future of the place is in the
hands of the Plant system. The town is
largely dependent on railroad patronage,
and the citizens know that great things
are in store for Waycross through the help
of the Plant system. Ever since the town
was started the company has been identi-
fed with and literally supported the
causes of temperance, education, indus
tries, public improvements, etc.

Yet IL Cures the Worst Cases of
Dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Dr. Jennison, who has made life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
forms of indigestion really amount to the
same thing that is failure TO completely
digest the food eaten; no matter whether
the trouble is acid dyspepsia or sour stom-
ach, belching of wind. nervous dyspepsia
or loss of flesh and appetite; a person
will not have any OF them II the stomach
can be induced by any natural, harmless
way. to thoroughly digest what Is eaten,
and this can be done by a simple remedy
which 1 have tested in hundreds Of ag-
gravated cases with complete success The
remedy Is a combination Of fruit and veg
etable essences, pure aseptic pepsin and
golden seal put up in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets and sold by druggists un-
der the name of 6tuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. One or two of these tablets should
be taken after meals and allowed to dis
solve in the mouth, and mingling with the
food in the stomach, digests II complete
ly before it has time to ferment, decay
and sour.
On actual experiments one grain of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three
thousand grains Of meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say IL this wholesome rem
edy was better known by people generally
1t would be a national blessing, as we are
a nation of dyspeptics, and nine-tenths of
all diseases owe their origin TO imperfect
digestion and nutrition.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine. but a ffty-cent
package will do more real good for a weak
stomach than fifty dollars worth Of pat
ent medicines and person has the sat
isfaction of knowing just what he Is put
ting into his stomach, which he does not
know, when widely advertised patent med
icines are used.

Some Points of Difference Bet1een
the Two beautiful Gems.
Some one has recently sent an inquiry
in reference to the turquoise and the

blue gems, but unable to state the diff
ference between them, says the New
Orleans Times-pemocrat. The sapphire
is q transparent gem, like the ruby,
topaz and others. 1t is blue, and next
in hardness to the diamond. The sap
phire is pure crystallized alumina. The
turquoise is hydratcd phosphate Of
alumina. 1t is also blue, like piece of
sky, but is Opaque, and comes mainly
from the mountains of Persia. That
indefinable property, like the water"
of diamond, or the luster of pearl
is in turquoise called the Eat. In tn;

When His Master Was Sick He Got
on a. Well without Him.
A remarkable display of animal sa-
gacity was given the other day in Ken
sington by the horse driven by old Har-
ry Pindle, an itinerant coal dealer, says
the Philadelphia Record. Harry has
been small dealer for years, and many
bucket of coal he sells to customers
of 20 years standing. Hector" the
old bay horse, has been owned by
Harry for several years, and although
he is old and lame, the animal serves
his master we'll. Last week, while out
with n load of coal, Harry was taken
sick, and, leaving his siX-year-old grand
son on the wagon, he went into a
friends house to rest. Now, Hector
evidently got tired of waiting, for when
Harry who had become very sick, came
out with his friend to be driven home,
the team was gone.'Late that afternoon
the grandson came home with an empty
wagon, and explained that Hector had
gone over the regular route, and that
| the people who had been waiting for
their coal came out and took what they
wanted and paid for it. Harry became
very ill, and was confined to his bed for
over a week, but the supply of coal
never stopped, as Harry's oldest son
would load the wagon before going to
| work, and the team would be sent out
in charge of the little boy. 1t has been
| proven since that old Hector never
missed customer, and he is now
pointed out as remarkable horse.
