it warm with liberal potations of
fighting liquor. La,e in the after
noon Marshal A. N. Denton arrest
ed him for disorderly conduct and
he made thrust at Denton with
knife, inflicting slight cut in Den
toms side just above the hip. The
Marshal drew his pistol and, with
the assistance of some bystanders,
lodged him in Jail. He was taken
before Judge Patterson Tuesday
morning. He waived examination
and was held over to Circuit Court.
His bond was fixed at $1,000, in

OBITUARY OF JAMES G.. LANE
James Graham Lane was born Jan.
LIST, 1926, and died June LIST, 1898.
He was married to Susan Robertson
Ratliff Aug. Sd, 1S49, with whom
he lived happily until the day of his
death. Thirteen children blessed
this union of loving hearts. All are
living except Sumin, who died in
infancy. Jas. Lane was a modest,
unassuming man, aspiring to no
higher office than to rule well his
own household. That his rule there
in was one of justice and kindness
the respect and devotion shown him
in all his long illness by his family
will well attest. He was a man of
fine intellect, strong in his convic-
tions Of right and wrong, hating
hypocrisy and the little meannesses
of life with utmost scorn. He had
never united with any church, but
down in his inner heart was u deep
reverence for God. He feared to
depart from the straight and mar.
row path he had chosen. Jas. Lane
was a brave man-yes, i say, e
brave man. Early in life he formed
a habit of taking dram occasion
ally, which soon became one he
could not control. Whenever he
was where convival ones met he in
dulged until the demon of drink
seemed to possess him body and
soul. One day he vowed he would
no more touch the vile stuff. He
kept that VOW. No one can tell the
bitter struggle he made all alone.
No one ever knew how fierce the
battle he fought, how intense his
craving, how he cried unto the
Lord in the bitterness Of bondage
to free him. All this was borne
alone, but the victory was won. He
conquered as no one but brave
spirit could. The evening of his
life was spent in the bosom of his
family. Even when the fatal malady
attacked him, and he knew it would
sooner or later take his life, he kept
it from the child wife he won in
early manhood Tor fear Of grieving
her. She it was who soothed and
comforted his lonely hours, who
caught his last pleading look as he
sank back in her arms, while his
spirit took its flight.
The large concourse of sorrowing
friends who attended his burial
Sore witness that true man had
gone from among them. An honest
man, an upright man, a good man
has passed away. FRIEND.

with these disadvantages IL IL feared
that poor stand will be obtained.
In those counties that have so far
failed to receive a season the plants
are becoming overgrown and are
yellowing in the beds. The situation
Is therefore becoming critical, and
unless seasonable rains come soon
the acreage will be sharply curtailed.
MEADOWS, PASTURES AND LIVE
STOCK.
Meadows and pastures have great
ly improved during May. Clover
meadows are especially luxuriant
and fine yield of hay is assured.
Improvement in pastures has result
ed in corresponding improvement
i'm live stock, which is now in excel
lent condition. Some loss of horses
is reported from Elliott county, with
out particulars as to symptoms or
disease being given.
WOOL
The size of the wool clip as COM
pared with the clip of 1897 Is 81. The
average weight per fleece is estimated
at pounds. 1t is gratifying 20 note
the substantial improvement In the
price of wool during the past two
years. The average price Of best wool
of the present clip is 81 cents per
pound. In 1897 the average price was
IS cents and in 1896 it was l2l1 cents:
FRUIT.
The month of May has developed
some changes in the fruit conditions.
Apples, which on May LIST showed a
condition of 81, as compared with
average years, have fallen to 65 per
cent. Of an average crop. Peaches
have improved from 81 per cent. on
May lst to So per cent. on June lst.
Pears also have increased from 43 to
81 per cent. of an average crop, while
grapes show the same condition as
on May LIST, 81 per cent. of an average
crop.
: Apples have dropped-hs<lly-se.ss<,
the sar'Ss~.-.sffes there is but very
small per cent. left.

u CoURr DAY. The attendance
here Monday was light. The mer-
chants report trade good, consider
ing the smallness of the crowd. The
rs cattle offered on the market
were mostly young, with some work
oxen and a number of milch cows
with calves. The most of the cattle
were sold, the milch cows at good
prices.
Jacob Kincaid sold a yoke of
3,100-lb. work oxen to +. p. Hen
dirk for $l29.
Local dealers bought several
horses and mules at very good
prices. Mcguire Saunders, of Hills

EGG WITHIN AN EGG.-Mrs. B. +.
Parker, of southwest of town,
brought to this office last Friday u
curiosity in the way of a hens egg.
1t was apparently an unusually
large egg of the ordinary shape.
Upon breaking it open there was
enclosed in the albumen (of which
there was as much as is usually
found in an egg,) another egg as
large as the common run of eggs.
However, the shell of the inner egg
was rather thin and brittle, easily
cracking under pressure of the
hand.

Half Of the musical program, or

EpucArE Nor BREAK.

EDUCATE, Nor BREAK, YOU'D
Reconsideration of the horse il
something that we should look aftei
very closely, for it depends greatly
on the way that we start to educate
him as to what he will make. 1t is
one thing to break a horse and an
other to educate him. When you
break him you have an old horse of
a young one. But il you educate
him right you have him with all
OF his spirit that nature gave him,
and it should be a man to handle
him who can control his temper.
The tracker must not get mad to
have success, for the man who han
dies q young horse transmits por-
ton of his own disposition to the
horse. Therefore to have good sue
cess we must start right by first
teaching him that we will not hurt
him. Then teach him the word of
command. Speak plainly and pos
|itively SO that he will understand
what you say, and show him by
kindness what you mean, and in q
ehort time you will find that he
will try to do what you tell him
You should be very careful not to
worry him ormake him tired on the
first few trips. Give him shor,
work, as his muscles are very soft
and he will soon get leg wearied
and this takes the vim and spirit
out OF him that he sh0tid have af.
ter he is educated. To make 9 nice
roadster you should work him jus,
enough to make HIM feel good, and
then take him out of the harness
Give him a little more work eacf
time, take good care of him, and
you will soon have a frst-clasi
road horse and OF good disposition
The most trainers use too muct
whip, and as the horses mind only
contains one thought at a time 20,
should be very careful how yo,
| convince him, for il he should sh,
1T anything don't use the whip, bu
coax him up to the object and lie
him See that it will not hurt him
But n you whip him the next tim
| he will think of the whip and will
try to get away. That is whatcause
90 many runaways. The fault is no
the horses but the drivers by no
using common sense. A TRA'NEn

AN EDlCT FROM SHAFTER.
II Provided that the Hospital Equip
ment of His Army Should be Left nj


Washington, Nov. II. - Col. j. w.
Jacobs, who was chief quartermaster
of the Fifth corps at Tampa and in
Cuba, testified yesterday before the war
investigating commission that Gen.
Humphrey had been in charge of the
embarkation of troops at Tampa, and
that no order specifying what vessels
the different commands were to occupy
lad been issued. In reply to a ques.
sion from Gov. Beaver he said the en-
barkation had been hap hazard af-
So"
Gen. McCook asked if there were anv
reasons why the cooking utensils and
amp equippage of the troops should
1ot have been forwarded from Dai-
quiri to the troops in the field.
There was no reason" Col. Jacobs
replied, except that Gen. Shafter's
order forbade"
Continuing he said the order was
most positive. 1t did not specify what
should not be forwarded, but was spe-
oifc in providing that only forage and
rations should be forwarded.
DR.. Connor asked whether orders
had been given to leave a.i the hospital
equipments behind at Tampa and Col
Jacobs responded that he had personal
knowledge that Gen. Shafter had
given such an order concerning the
ambulanceS.
An important point was developed
through the examination of Maj. La
garde, one of the surgeons in charge of
the hospital at Siboney. 1t was that
of the 1900 or /, 400 H founded men
treated in the hospital only IL had
died. This was less than 1 per cent.
and DIR. Lagarde said that no war in
history showed SO small a mortality
among wounded men.

A"minaIdo Makes Threats.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 17.-Capt. Barn
eson, commander of the transport Ari-
zona, has arrived here from Manila.
Barneson left Manila September 24.
He said the general impression among
army officers was that when the peace
commission concludes its labors the
United States troops will have trouble
with the natives. Admiral Dewey told
him that Aguinaldo was not only un-
reliable, but treacherous. 1t is said
that Aguinaldo has promised his men
that upon the withdrawal of the Span
iards he will declare war against the
United States. He says he will kill off
American soldiers faster than the Uni
ted States can ship them to the islands.

SWEPT BY FLAMES.
Dawson city is Visited by a COnfia-
grafton that Caused S5OO,OOO Loss.

Skaguay, Alaska, via Victoria, B. c.,
Nov. l5.-Returning Klondikers bring
the news that the city of Dawson has
been visited with a 100000 fire in
which 40 buildings were burned, in
Guiding the new post office and some
of the best buildings in the city.
At the time the police gong sounded
the fire alarm a light wind was blow
ing and the people at once saw that Il
would require quick work to save the
town from total destruction. The post
Office was the next building south OF
the saloon where the fire started, and
the work of getting the mail matter
out was quickly done. Although near
ly all the mail was saved it is in great
confusion. All that remains to show
where formerly 40 buildings stood are
a few blackened logs, and the town
was saved from total destruction by
the fire engine.
There is no insurance at Dawson.
Officers are investigating the origin OF
the fire. 1t was at first thought that
the fire was the result of an incendiary,
but this idea has been entirely dissi.
pated.
1t is said there is not enough lumber
and window glass in Dawson to re-
build the burned district and that the
people are in distress and will have to
live in tents for the rest of the winter.
