Reports received at Denver from
the Jackson Hole country, Wyom-
ing, are to the effect that in no pre-
slous winter has there been 80 great
number Of elk wintering as this
season. A conservative estimate,
made by the warden of the district,
fixes the number at 10000. The
game warden says; Il recently gazed
upon a sight which far surpassed
anything had ever seen. and utter
ly astonished and amazed me. For
distance of six miles a herd of elk
was stretched out. The animals
had made trail through the snow,

died Sunday at Guanabacoa. The
funeral procession Monday was
stopped by a mob of Spanish sol

took out the corpse, and, after bru-

their muekets and swords, threw il
into the. street and forbade the
mourners to take it up.
The people dispersed in fear OF
their lives, but several hours later,
finding that the soldiers had left,
they recovered the body and buried
it.
The bodies of three school girls
who disappeared last week were
found Tuesday on the outskirts Of
Guanabacoa, mutilated and with
hardly a thread of clothing upon
them. Dogs had partly eaten them.

Novel Point Poised.

Editor OF The Times:
Sir,-Under this heading appeared an ar
ticle I'm your issue Of Sunday, 18th, in
slant, and il you will kindly grant me the
space in your valuable columns, | wish
to make a few observations on the Diff
ferent points at issue.
I notice you say this gentleman took
out policy with an insurance company
on his own life and Immediately there
after assigned il to his children for whose
benefit he doubtless intended the assur-
ance In the event of his death. IL IS
presumed the affairs Of the gentleman
were in a perfectly solvent state when
this policy was taken out and when II
was assigned to his children, therefore
he was justified in his action of assign
ing the policy TO those for whom the pro-
lection was needed. You further state
that he made one payment after his fall
IRE in business which goes to show FUR
Their that the policy was intended Tor
the benefit of his. children and not his
estate. nor for himself personally Tho
policy. therefore. was the property OF the
children as assignees and benehciaries.
and not Of the assured.
From the fact that the assured had paid
several premiums before his insolvency
the next point TO determine is the exact
date at Vflcn MS affairs DtCdInt lhSYiNhA''
and in doing so you would then find the
debt on the policy due TO the estate. and
this debt with interest at the rate OF
six per cent. would become Il claim IN
justice against the security Of the policy
but the estate is not entitled 10 anything
more than the value received any more
than any one creditor would be, who has
10 prove his claim.
Again had the assured applied TO the as
surance society when he found he could
not safely pay his premiums out or
the funds OF the estate, for a loan TO pay
his premiums. If his policy justified such
a loan being made. they would advance
him such loan and charge same with IN
terest to the debit Of the policy until such
time as II was paid Off. and should death
occur in the interval. the policy being Kept
in force by the loan. then the company
could not claim the full amount Of the
policy on account Of the debt on II. but
only the debt itself with interest ac-
crued 20 the date OF death. would be de
Quoted from the amount Of the policy.
1t therefore seems to me the two things
are Synonymous.

ton TO the white citizens OF them by - e

The time was ripe last fall for the
Republican party TO unload the negro
and to appeal TO those white people of the
south who are Republicans at heart to
come out into the open and enlist them
selves under the banner that represented
their views. Had Mr.. Mckinley declared
to the negroes that they must no longer
look to the Republican party as their
guardian and wet nurse. but that they
must take their chances under the law Of
tho land with all other citizens. thou
sands OF men in Virginia would have
broken with the Democratic party on
account Of free silver and Organism,
would have united themselves perma-
nently with the Republican party, and
the same thing would have happened in
every Southern State. We should, by de-
gress, have seen a reputable Republican
party grow up in the South and the South
ern States would have been far better
off for having two real political parties
to which men could attach themselves as
their choice indicated. But Mr.. McKin-
ley spoiled this fair prospect by his ne
gro appointments.

stack a quantity Of butter and other pro-

Some time early in August he broke
into the Muller residence, where he was
