THE people of France are again all stirred up over the Dreyfus case. It will be remembered that after trial
 before French court, which trial no one was allowed to attend, Dreyfus was convicted of selling military se- crets to a foreign government. It has been claimed by his friends and many disinterested Frenchmen that the trial was put up job, and that Dreyfus was not guilty. Recently an officer in the French army named Henry, confessed that he had forged letter, which let ter had been used as basis of state. ment by the French minister of wal that he positively knew Dreyfus was guilty. It is probable that new trial will be granted to Dreyfus, which, un
 doubtedly, will result in his acquital

Rough Riders Are Rude.

While the Spanish troops at La Qua sina took cowardly advantage in fight ing from ambush, it seems that the Rough Riders also played trick upon the concealed foe.
 This fact has been learned from 8 Spaniard who was in the fight and who was afterwards captured by the Cu- bans. He says of the Americans:
 tThey did not fight as other soldiers. When we fired volley they advanced instead of going back. The more they fired the nearer they came to us. We are not used to fighting with men that act so.
 It is rule of warfare that when an l advancing column receives decima- ting fire, that is when one man in every ten fall, the attacking force should re- treat. But the Rough Riders, it ap- pears were not versed in the etiquet of the battlefield, and instead of turning back as "good form demands" they went right ahead until they captured the Spanish position. Now what could courteous, chivalrous, punctilious Span iards do in the face of such rudeness such disregard of all convention and propriety? From the standpoint of the Spaniard it was not only bad form for the Americans to advance after they had been fired upon, but it was an in timation that there wasa strong force behind them. So the Spaniards turned as they were bound by Spanish prece- dent to do, and ran towards Sevilla. l The Rough Riders have certainly forfeited all claim to Spanish recogni- tion as members of the fighting elite, and it is probable that when they next engage the foe the Spaniards will ad- minister the we'll deserved rebuke by running without waiting to fre.-[Chi- cago Times-Herald.

 Red" Pipkin, partner of Broncho Bill and Johnson, and the only one to escape in the fight with Scarborough and Milton about 8 month ago. has again been heard from.
 One day last week Piplxin, accom- panied by two men, rode into the headquarter ranch on Eagle Creek. Joe Terril, foreman of the ranch, and two or three cowboys were there. As they rode up Pipkin dismounted and approached Joe Terril and said:
 "We want some fresh horses, have you any in the corral here?"
 Terril answered "No, the horses are all in the pasture"
 Pipkin then made one of the men 20 with him to the pasture while his two companions stood gaurd at the house and shortly returned with three fresh horses. The outlaws then saddled up Pipkin exchanging his old one for Ter. rils new one and saying to him:
 "Both of us cannot live in this coun. try together and we will give you three days to get out, and we intend to trea Won Arnim the same"
 The outlaws then took supper with the men at the ranch and afterward, rode leisurely up the road.
 In consequence of the above visi from Red Pitkin some of the cowboy at work for Hampson have left, als, the head farmer who is employed a the ranch.
 E. A. Won Arnim and Joe Terril cam in from the headquarters ranch yester day, They corroborate the facts a stated above. They will return t their work within few days and pro ceed with the round up.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The members of the unique military organization known officially as the First United Volunteer Cavalry and popularly as Roosevelt's Rough Riders, were very much in evidence on the streets and in the hotel corridors of New York to-day. The troopers lost no time on being mustered out of Camp Wikoff in mak- ing their way to town. A number of them hailing from Arizona and Wyom- ing went down to Coney Island on the trolley cars. When on the Brooklyn bridge they fired a volley from their revolvers which caused rush of policemen from all over the bridge. The men were allowed 8 good deal of latitude.

Yet every certificate of character he gives is of value to every one who receives it, from his commander-in- chief down through the list of flashing young colonels, Roosevelt and Garcia's ragged legions, because General Wheeler speaks ill of no one. He is ready even to believe and to voice the belief that Secretary Alger's eleventh hour concession of the possibility of miseries in the camps has "cheered them (the sick soldiers) up" so that he can hardly "convey the change-for the better"

THE Democratic county ticket will be found at the head of the editorial columns of to-day's TRIBUNE. It con- tains much the same material that swept the county two years ago. If any of the officials therein named have proven recreant to their trust it has never been charged against them. The new blood introduced merely adds strength to the personnel of the ticket, so it is fair to presume it will be elect ed from top to bottom.

The fact is, as all but the tyros in journalism know, that one must read the country weeklies in order to gather the true sentiment of the people. The metropolitan journals reflect the desires of few rich men and of certain politi- cal cliques. The country press reflects the desires and feelings of the plain, everyday people, to whom the country editors are always close and of whom they are part. It will be distant day and times will have indeed changed when we do not look with respect and confidence upon the expressions of the country weeklies. They are 8 great power in politics.-[Stockton Mail.

While attorney R. E. Morrison was back east, he visited Capt. McClintock, of the Rough Riders, and found him getting along all right with his wound ed leg. The surgeons desired to ann putate the limb. but the Captain re- fused to allow them to do so, preferring to take the chance of threatened blood poisoning. His recovery is now as- sured, although he will have slight limp, as the leg which was shattered will be little shorter than the other.

Proposed Creamery at Branch Mills.

The farmers IN the vicinity of Branch
Mills met Feb. 1lth to consider the question
of establishing creamery there There
was large attendance, Including y g,wdly
number of farmers wives who are naturally
interested in the development of the DAIRY
industry, and especially in the Introduction
OF means to take its labor aud care FROM tie
farm to the factory The agricultural editor
of the Maine Farmer was present and adj
dressed the assembly ON the merits Of the
dairy business, its adoption to that vicinity,
the advantages of the cooperative system
of making and selling the product, and the
methods through which the associated work
is carried on. 1t was voted to go ahead with
canvass for cows, and with other steps pre-
liminary TO permanent organic alton, and
committee to make the canvass was chosen,
as follows: W. A. Nelson, Silas Bowler and
&. A, Bradstreet of Palermo, Martin Wet
Der, l. o. Jones, w. II. Jones and W S
Jones of China, Otis L. Meader, Albion.
George Thompson, Liberty. Another Well
attended meeting was held in the evening,
with "Butter Cows and their Feed 4" as the
SUBJECT for consideration 1t was addressed
by VIII. Moody of Liberty, the Waldo mem
Der of the Board of Agriculture, and Mir Gil
bert, great interest being manifested in the
presentation. AS the result of these meet
ings there will no doubt be well tuuipped
creamery established at Branch Mills at an
early day. The Maine Farmer from which we
get these details, says of the locality:
Branch Mills is quiet little hamlet pleas
antly located on the line between the town
of Palermo the east and China on the
west. This village is the centre Of consid-
cradle circuit of country and heretofore has
been lett out OF easy reach by the railroads
that have circed around it at a distance
yet without afordipg the advantages of
easy and quick communication so necessary
to modern enterprise and thrift. Augusta
is seventeen miles away, Watervile still
further, Belfast twenty-siX and the Knox
and Lincoln rails far out of reach thlrty-two
miles away. The locality round about the
centre of which we are speaking is a good
farming country, and III 1t are to be found
the usual complement of enterprisIng
thrifty, wellto-do farmers. With the ex-
cepIion of such milling and trade as every
community needs, farming is the almost ex-
elusive business of its people.
The recent opening of the Wiscasset and
Quebec narrow gauge railroad now taps tins
section OF the country, and its Palermo sta
ton is at the village of Branch Mills AS is
always the case with the advent of railroad
communication the citizens of the locality
are waking up to their opportunities, and
are already moving to take advantage of
them.
