CAUSED LAUGHTER.

In discussing the question of dissent
ers the speaker evoked an almost un-
broken run of laughter and applause
by his witty analysis of the subject.
In classifying the kicker race he de-
scribed one branch of the family as
those who seek political prefermrnt
and when the people neglect to recog-
nize their unwarranted claims, they
kick over the traces and put them
selves forward as martyrs of an un-
aprreciative party.
There happened to be a man in the
hall who is a standing but never sue
Cesstul candidate for petty ward aud
election district offices up in Olyphant
and thinking that the county commit
tee had sent a man up there to give
him an especial dressing down, he
arose in his wrath and wanted the
speaker and everybody else to under
stand that he could have had any
office he ever ran for if he wanted to
work for it, or words to that effect,
The interruption set everybody in n
roar and it, was some time before Mr..
Fleitz could proceed.
The second speaker was John r.
Jones. By actual timing he stood upon
the front of the platform five minutes
Lefore he was able 10 make himself
heard. There was cheering, more
cheering, most cheering. In the midst
of ii the band took 1t up and then for
a time it was a fight between the band
and the people to see which could
make the most noise, The band thought
it was a winner when the cheering
eased down for a moment, but It had
counted without its host, for the peo-
pie were only stopping for breath and
as soon as the band quit the people
started in again and shouted until they
were hoarse. The band wanted to
start in again for a finish fight, but
Mr. Jones held up his hand deprecat-
ingly and the leader called off his pug
nacious welkin-wakers, After many
gestures beseeching a cessation of the
demonstrativeness the crowd quieted
down and contented itself with shout
ing "John r. forever" and the like.

Southern Pacific Lands.

A decision of the secretary of the
interior fixing the status of the lands
en- braced in the grant of the Southern
Pacific railroad between Mojave and
the Needles, Cal, has been promul-
gated. The lands embrace all the al
ternate sections between the two
points mentioned for twenty miles on
each side of the road, the distance be-
ing 242 miles. They lie along what is
know as the Atlantic Pacific, leased by
the Atlantic and Pacific company.
The lands have been in controversy
betwt en- the Atlantic and Pacific and
Southern Pacific since 1884. A COM
mittee appointed by the secretary of
the interior in that year recommended
the acceptance of the southern Pacific
map, but the Atlantic and Pacific filed
protest, alleging that the grant
claimed by the Southern Pacific was
practically the same as that claimed by
the Atlantic and Pacific under a
former grant. The protest had the eff
feet of causing the secretary to lay
the matter aside.

New Discoveries.

The biblical experts of the UNIVERSE
ty of Cambridge are now examining the
richest discoveries of ancient docu-
ments relating to the bible that have
been unearthed during the nineteenth
century. They have just been brought
to England for Cairo, Egypt, by DR..
S. Schechter, one of the most famous
authorities on b blical research.
They were discovered by him at Cairo,
ard he pronounces them of untold
value.
Something of an idea OF the immensi-
tv of the savaut's discovery may be
CLEANED from the fact that his collec-
ton includes $1,000 Fragments of an
cient Jewish literature. Some OF those
fragments of particular value relate to
the tenth century, c1ear away the
mysteries which have always surround
ed certain facts, and have hitherto
b zen considered hopelessly impenetra
ble.

THE INDIAN REBELLION.

Re-Subduing India

The English Determined to do or De IN
Re-Subduing India
Although the situation on the India
frontier has not improved ana
heavy campaign is inevitable, nothing
has trausp red to indicate cOmplica-
lions beyond general frontier uprls-
ing. India itself remains remarkably
quite and if there exists a secret lnten-
ton to revolution all the available
forces have been sent north; no sign OF
1t has been vouchsafed. The ame err,
also, is still lying low. The authorities
both at home and in India seem to con-
sid err the problem strictly confined to
the present obvious features.
Curious stories are coming about the
fanatical methods which are employed
to drive the tribes to revolt. The So
called Mad Mullah has been the chief
inciter of the rebellion. This is
SAN pile:
Some days before the attack at
Malakind the Mad Mullah, who was at
Brana. the principal town in lower
Swat, put one of the chiefs in trance
and asked the man what he saw. He
replied: ;,,
true believers, and the hosts of heaven
are with them. Down below are the
Sahiba. Some are dead on the ground
and others are being followed and
slain by Mahomets followers. In the
distance the Topkhana are coming,
but soon they are flying and the whole
| of the infidels are killed or dying"
| The Mad Mullah is a mesmerist OF
no mean order, and the tribesmen have
follow ed the mullah as prophet. He
does not doubt the efficiency of pink
rice, which he gave his followers to in
sure invulnerability. A wound he re-
ceived 10 the hand he got while clutch
| ing a bayOnet during an attack.

Fell Heir to Millions.

Fred Hartop, a young American,
stepson of the telegraph editor of the
Mexican Herald has received news
tn at he had fallen heir TO fortune es-
timated at $1,000, 600. For weeks post
masters and United States cOnsuls
have been end. avoring to locate the
young gentleman, whose legacy con-
sists of lands and mines IN rich Sonora,
and day before yesterday letter came
here addressed to postmaster Carries,
and thus the legatee became aquaint-
ed with his good fortune. The bene-
ficiary is young man not yet 10 years
of age He has been in the employ of
local debtsbry firm, but says he in
tended to return to the states, where
he will take up the study of dentistry.
From the reports that have reached
Mexico it appears that ten yeas ago
, Mrs. HartOp was divorced from her
husband. WI o lived in Sonora and &C.
cumulated mines and real estate valued
according to the United States consul
at Guaymas at 81, 100000. Mr.. Conner
married Mrs. Hartop and they have
| lived here for some months, and Fred
has been living with them. Late in
August the postmaster at Los Angeles
| received word from James Cobolenich
of Oakland asking the whereabouts OF
the young man, thus the matter came
to the attention of Mr.. Conner.

more shots were fired, the muskets
held close to his breast did the great
soul take its flight
His body was inferred at chihuahua,

an iron cage and was used on the part
of Spain as CORY warning to revolu-

Mexico became free, and in 1923 its
congress ordered the removal of his
remains to the City of Mexico, where
they were deposited in the cathedral,
amid the tombs of the vicerOys, with
BETTING ceremony.
Such in brief is a portion of the story
of HidalgO While he was not permit
ted to lead his people to that plane he
so eagerly desired, he, without com
plant OR reservation, gave his life thai
his earned aspirations for Mexico
might be realized, and grateful peo
pie render him homage.
1t may be said in truth Of Mexico
at great price has liberty been won,
hence with fitting propriety she com
memorates this day, as the day that
marks her birth as an Independent
power. All Americans wish Mexico
well, and may the fabric commenced by
Hidalgo, restored by Juarez. and main
tained by Diaz, prove blessing that
the fires may never burn the less.

AT Artemisa more reports have been
received regarding the desperate
straits of the Spanish troops there and
the paciicos on the outskirts. The
hospitals are overcrowded, and they
are sending men TO Havana ss fast as
possible. All the churches in the
town have been seized for hospitals
and four converts. The nuns who are
in the converts and Father Crissalia
made strong remonstrance, and re-
fused to leave. AS the Spanish troops
were unwilling to be the means OF
oustiug them, the Spanish comman-
der gave the task to his Ruerrillas
These desperadoes entered the con-
vents one evening and elected the
nuns and the priests with a good deal
of force. Two of the nuns were seri
ouslv injured, and one of the priest:
was shot. The bishop of Havana has
