Private Carver Talks.

Mr.. James w. Carver of Augusta
was in Auburn, Monday on business
Mr. Carver formerly lived in Auburn
and was in the detective business.
Mr.. Carver was a soldier of the late
war with Spain, member of Co. F.
Augusta, and is one of the Is men in
that company who haven't Signed off,
with Uncle Sans representatives. Mr..
Carver went to Chickamauga and came
home in the hospital train and he says
all they had to eat on the train was
hard tack and canned meat. He thinks
many of the soldiers have made a big
mistake in signing off, although it is
for the interest of the government TO
make the number as large as possible.
He knows that his health has been in
jured and he does not propose to sign
papers that he is as well as when he
enlisted. He will take his examination
later and until that takes place and
he gets his discharge he reckons that
he will draw pay as a soldier.-Lewis-
ton Journal.

The meat markets and grocery stores
are more than busy. The turkeys ar
rived at about all the places, Tues
day, although some had already re-
ceived a fair supply. The display OF
poultry is a good one, and the prices
are about what everyone expected.
Native turkeys, which are few in num-
Der, are rs cents pound. Some
Western turkeys bring the same price,
but the general run does not go above
"a cents and some are % cents. Ducks
are IS cents a pound. Geese are 20
cents, while the old standby, the
chicken, is from Is to Is cents, accord
ing to the quality. Orders have been
placed by about all of our people, so
that the dealers now have their hands
full. with preparing them for the oven

A word unspoken, hand impressed,
A look unseen. a thought unguessed,
And souls that were kindred may live

Never to know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days of a wasted youth.
She shall not know how his pulses leapt
When over his temples her tresses swept;
AS she leaned to give him the jasmine

She felt his breath, and her face flushed
With the passionate love that choked her
breath
And saddens her life now her youth is
dead.

Awful Collision at Sea.

Halifax, N. s., July Elm one Of the
thick fogs which at this time Of the year
hang like pail over the grand banks
Of Sable island, in the North Atlantic,
occurred, on the early morning Of July
4, one of the most appalling ocean dis
asters in the annals of transatlantic
commerce, and, in fact, In the history
Of steam sailing In the world.
Without a moments warning, almost,
the great French liner La Bourgogne,
with 725 souls on board, was run down
by the iron sailing ship Cromartyshire
and sank within half an hour, carrying
with her to the oceans bottom over 500
Of her passengers and crew, while the
balance, who were not drawn down by
the fearful suction, struggled and fought
for life until 1853 were at length rescued
by the crew Of the Cromartyshire, which
ship survived the collision. The list
made up by representatives Of the COM
pany owning the La Bourgogne shows
that 165 people were saved, Of which
number 1O6 belonged to the ships crew.
No Kansas people were among the num-
Der, but the mother and sister Of H. P.
Dillon, OF Topeka, were lost. They re-
sided in the East and were going to
Paris.

Cervera Should Have Gone East.

OF Santiago de Cuba, July 4, after
noon, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July g.,
per the Associated Press dispatch boat
Cynthia H., via Kingston, Jamaica,
Tuesday, July 5, noon.-Admiral Ger
vera held consultation with his officers
before sailing out Of the harbor of San
tiagO de Cuba, and, by small majority,
the move was agreed upon. The minor
ity said that destruction was sure, as
many Of the flremen had mutinied and
the best men in the feet were worn out
by serving the guns in the shore bat
teries.
Early on the morning Of the sortie,
careful observations were taken Of the
sea, east and west Admiral Cervera de-
cided upon taking the westward course,
with Manzanillo, Cienfugos, or, If pos
sible, Havana, the port to be reached.
He would have gone east but for the
sighting of large transport feet off
Siboney and the assurance that a convoy
Of war vessels was still with the trans
ports
AS matter of fact, there was no war
vessel larger than a converted yacht,
except the New York, that could have
obstructed Admiral Cervera's escape
eastward.
Naval men here are sure that the
Spanish vessels could have disabled or
sunk the New York and escaped had the
eastward course been chosen.

Inspector A. L. Mason, of Kiowa, rep

cattle which were infected with the
deadly ticks, at Curtis, Okla. There
were about 1000 head in the lot and
they came from Cottle and Childress

supposed to be safe. The stock belonged
to Quinlin g. Snyder and 300 head had
been cut out for shipment to a point
near Manhattan, where they were 10 be

Texas inspector, who is regarded as one
OF the experts of the country, but this
only adds to the accumulated evidence
tending to show that inspection cannot
be too carefully done. It is indeed for

cause the infection and loss Of thou

State Treasurer Balance Grows as the
Period of POpullst Rule
Lengthens.
STATE AFFAIRS IN SAFE HANDS

One year ago, when, because Of Re-
publican extravaganza, the funds in the
general fund in the State treasury be-
came exhausted, nothing was said In
that connection by Republican papers
relative to Mckinley prosperity. It was
the custom of papers Of that class to
charge that the condition was due to
Populist incompetency and dishonesty.
The condition was cited as evidence Of
the assertion that that party could not
be safely entrusted with the admins
tration of State affairs.
But this year a different condition
exists. After full year Of Popullst con-
troll the balance in the treasury is again
in evidence and it Is rising in the di-
rection of the $50O,0OO point, where it
was left when the Morrill, administra
tion took charge. To be exact this
amount was $685., ,503, but 1t was all gone
but 300 when Treasurer HehebOWer
was sworn in. The Republican press
has new story this year. The follow
ing from the Kansas City Journal shows
how the change is to be accounted for:
"As a further evidence Of prosperity
in Kansas may be cited the condition Of
the general fund in the State treasury.
One year ago to-day the general fund
contained only $4,000. Many counties
were not paying their taxes at all. To-
day the treasury has about $167,O in
the general fund. The most Of this
money represents the collection Of back
taxes. Almost all the back taxes has
been turned in. Back interest is rolling
in also to the permanent school fund on
bonds that were considered practically
worthless sixteen months ago."
The Journals figures are somewhat
inaccurate, as usual. The balance July
/, 1897, in the general revenue fund was
$105 SOL, and at the same period this
year it had reached $17S,299. The col
lection Of back tax don't account for
the change at all, because there has
been comparatively no income from that
source. A number of counties paid up
last fall, but the total amount is very
little, if any, less than it was then. The
real cause of the treasury's improved
condition is that it is in the hands Of
careful economical administration.
The appropriations for the past year
were made by a Populist Legisla-
LuTS anu are uluCu lSoS Judu JuSy W6Io
for the previous year. Plenty Of large
unexpended balances reverted to the
treasury. Instead Of making every ef-
fort to secure every dollar which was
available for use, the funds have been
sensibly and judiciously expended. The
salary allowance, 1t will be remembered,
is considerably lower than usual and
the drain on the treasury from this
quarter has been lighter Various other
items have been less. Many were cut off
entirely.
The payment of $4,000 out Of the
general fund to take up State bonds will
not need to be duplicated this year, so
that aids in keeping the balance at
higher point. Then many counties,
good many being in the west, paid more
than the amount of taxes due last Jan
uary, so that the July payment will be
correspondingly less. AS matter of
fact, the more the treasury statement
is examined the less evidence is found
Of the much-talked-Of prosperity.
