New Coal Mine.

A vein of coal has been opened
up on the east side of the river
about eleven miles below town by
j. A. Philips. The vein was two
feet eight inches wide on the sur
face but has increased to a width
of three feet and a half at a depth
of twenty feet. The vein runs in
on an incline similar to the Nc
Cold mine.
The coal is of a good variety,
though necessarily soft so near
the surface. 1t will be of great
advantage to the Saratoga people
when it is opened up, as the dis
lance will make it possible for
teamsters from town to make the
trip to the mine and return the
same day.

Dorothy O." A Colonial Maiden.

In The National Magazine for
September, appears an interesting
sketch of the genial '.Autocrats''
great grandmother, Dorothy O..
The writer says:
"Who, having once seen, can
forget, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
as, looking up On his study wall to
the portrait of his great-grand-
mother, Dorothy G., he said,
"Shall l bless you, Dorothy, or
forgive,
For the tender whisper that babe
me live?
or who, having heard. can forget
his story as told him by his moth
er,-
Such is the tale the lady old
Dorothy's daughters daughter
told
how the painting hung in the
house of his grandfather Oliver
Wendell; how, when it was C.
pied by British officers, before the
evacuation of Boston, one of them
amused himself by stabbing poor
Dorothy (the pictured one) ms
neal the eye as his workmanship
would serve him to do it; how, be.
fore the painting was remounted,
by which the hole of the rapier
was lost sight of, he photographed
it; how the painter of the picture
none could tell
One whose best was not very we'll.
Yet in her cheek the hues are
bright,
Dainty colors of red and white,
And in the slender shape are seen
Hint and promise of stately mien.'' -

The House OF E. c. Gross Buried.

The residence of Eugene c.
Gross on Brush creek was burned
last Wednesday evening. The fire
originated in the kitchen and was
so far advanced when discovered
that nothing could be done to save
the house and not even the family
clothing was saved. Mrs. Gross
and her lite five year-old daught-
er were alone at the time. The
little girl told her mother after
ward that she had just lighted II
match and thrown it into the
woodbox. The loss is quite a
heavy one for Mr. and Mrs. Gross
who had but recently purchased
the ranch, and they have the SYM
pathy of a large number of friends.

WYOMING APPLES.


County Commissioner Gordon
yesterday brought from his ranch
on Little Horse creek in this
county, some fine samples of APP
pies. The apples were attached
to small branch of tree. and We're
nine in number, being as perfect
as one would care TO see. The eX-
hibit proves conclusively that
with ordinary care and industry
Wyoming need not be behind
nei9hboring states in the fruit
department.
Mr.. Gordon has had thirty years
experience ranching in the west,
and from his continued observa-
ton has no hesitancy in saying
that if the ranchmen will only
make the effort apple raising can
he successfully conducted.
Mr.. Gordon planted over 100
apple trees last spring. The trees
which bore the apples brought in
by Mr.. Gordon were planted
about ten years ago and have had
but very little attention since first
set out.-Sun Leader.

SOUTH DAKOIANS HUSTLING
Gamble and nurke Look In the Mat
ter of Military Commissions for
Their Constituents.

WASHINGTON Dec. S.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Congressme Gamble and Burke of
South Dakota will call on Secretary Root
tomorrow in regard to number of commits
sions which they claim the state was de-
prived of as a result Of the failure of war
officials to advise them of declinatons re-
ceived from members of South Dakota regi-
ments who remained in the Philippines and
who were appointed when complement Of
officers for the volunteer army in the Philip
pines was being selected. 1t Is claimed by
the congressman that they were assured
when appointments for the state were made
that if any of those selected declined they
would be advised at once and that add
tional recommendations could be made by
them. 1t was developed on inquiry by Con-
gressman Burke however, that two or three
of the South Dakotaus who were offered
commissions refused to accept and appoint
ments were made from other states Gamble
and Burke will make an attempt to have the
matter corrected
The pension examining board at Deadwood
is to be reorganized and Congressman
Gamble has recommended Drs. l.. f. Bah
cock, John w Freeman and T. w. Mottitt
to constitute the new board Mr.. Gamble has
also recommended the appointment of Drs.
f. w. Cox, n. c. Collese of Vermlion. and
DR.. j. G. Conley of Elk Point to constitute
board at the former place.
At the request of Pension Commissioner
Evans Congressman Gamble and Burke have
made division of the state in the northern
part of South Dakota. This division of this
class of patronage is done merely TO pre-
vent duplication of notices from the pension
office. On all other matters the South
Dakota congressman will act together.
Congressman Mercer today introduced
bill to place upon the pension rolls the
name of Mrs. Catherine OBrien of Omaha
at a rate of $50 per month.
Congressman Burkett started the ball roll
ling for public buildings in his distric: by
introducing bills for Plattsmouth and J 40
City and approprlating $4,000 in each case.
He also introduced a bill for the resurvey
of Furnas county
Representative Mondell OF Wyoming intro
duced a bill today to complete the establish
ment of a military fort near the city of
Sheridan and making an appropriation of
500 900 to complete the same. Captain
Palmer, who is here in the interest of this
measure, said that while the number of
acres for this military reservation is limited
there were really available 6,400 acres which
the government could secure If 1t so desired
at a nominal cost.

NO MERCY SHOWN 5URGAERS
Fifth Lnncers Massacre sixty BurEh-
crs mt ElnndsInnNtc After They
Had Laid Down Arms.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Dec S.-CNew York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-The Boer
allegation that the fifth (British)
Lancers massacred sixty burghers at
Elandslaagte after they had thrown
down their arms is receiving con-
frmation in private letters from the Lam
GERS themselves. One officer writes in a let
ter published in the Times as follows
After the enemy were driven out one
OF our squadrons pursued and got right in
among them in the twilight and most excel
lent pig sticking ensued for about ten min
utes, tho bag being about sixty. One of
our men stuck his lance through two, killing
both at one thrust. Had it not been getting
dark we should have killed many more"
A dragoon corporal told a Chronicle cor
respondent:
The Beers fell off their horses and rolled
among the rocks hiding their heads with
their arms, calling for mercy, calling to be
shot, anything to escape a stab from those
terrible lances through their backs and
bowels. But not many escaped. We Just
gave them a good dig as they lay. Next
day most Of the lances were bloody"
Another lancer trooper writes OF the same
incident:
I'VE got a charge at them They threw
up their arms and fell on thelr knees tor
ENERGY, but we were told not to give them
any and l can assure you they got none.
We went along sticking our lances through
them. 1t was a terrible thing"
Tho lingo papers, which TEEN with accu-
sations Of inhumanity against the Beers,
ignore these revelations
At Elandslaagte several women cycled to
hill commanding a view of the opera
tione. They were warned to lie down, but
refused to do so as it might spoil their
frocks. The Beers dropped some shots near
them and they fed.
At the fight at Rietfontein several women
appeared on bicycles, but they kept long
distance off she'll was pitched fairly close
to them. which sent them pedaling off to a
safer position.

CONTEST FOR MINOR OFFICES
While the GOebeI People Are Unde-
cided the Other Democratic Cam
didates VIII Fight 1t Out.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. S.-All pretense
OF fight for the certificate of election as
governor has been given up by the Gresei
people and whether a contest will be made
in the legislature is really yet to be deter
mined. 1t will be determined largely on
the wording of the opinion which Commits
sioners Ellis and Pryor will hand down at
10 o'clock tomorrow. If it implies that the
commissioners believe fraud was committed
which might invalidate the election they
say the canvassing board has the right to
go behind the certified returns. In that
event it is almost certain contest will be
made.
The democratic candidates for the minor
offices on the state ticket acting on the be-
lief that the commissioners opinion Will
contain implications of fraud, have already
decided to fight before the state contesting
board for the positions to which they be-
lieved themselves entitled. They held sew
eral conferences during the day, but it was
not definitely determined until O'Clock in
the afternoon to make the contests.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor were busy
all day writing their opinion and it was
dark before Mr.. Ellis who did mCst of the
writing, had finished his task. Neither he
nor Judge Pryor made any denial of the
fact that they would decide that Taylor is
entitled to the certificate. They would not
discuss the matter, but tacitly admitted that
it was true.
The politicians of both parties departed
from Frankfort in great numbers during the
day. and the town is practically deserted.
All the democratic and republican members
have left for home.
Colonel Jack Chinn, who has been attached
to the Goebel headquarters, this afternoon
remarked with a laugh as he passed the
hotel door, II guess it is all up with us for
this time"
There is no indication OF any trouble.
There has been a great amount of money bet
on the election throughout Kentucky as to
who would be the next governor, and the
bettors are trying to decide whether, If Tay-
lor is declared governor and later ousted by
the legislature as not being legal incum-
bent, he was in fact actually governor at all
in the eyes of the law. The Taylor bettors
construe it one way and naturally the
Goebel men figure it out differently. There
has been so much money wagered on the
outcome that the thing has become serious
1t is said Judge Pryor will resign. At the
conclusion of the boards session tonight re
said the report is untrue Both he and
Commissioners Ellis have lost all desire for
the position of election commissioner, and
will retire after time, but neither will re-
sign until all contests have been disposed Of.

MAKING HITCHCOCK MEDICINE
world-HcraId Correspondents All
over Nebraska Instructed to
Manufacture Endorsements.

Word comes from various sections of the
state that tcegraphic instructions have been
sent to all World Herald correspondents in
Nebraska directing them to procure en-
dorsements from democrats and populists OF
G. NJ. Hitchcock's candidacy for appointment
to the senatorial vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Hayward.
This is the same practice pursued by the
World Herald whenever it has some wonder
full scheme to perpetrate or some brass band
charity racket to work. The various cor
respondents of the popocratic organ are
expected to bulldoze or persuade every one
who hopes for newspaper favor from that
source to join in a euogy of the World
Herald publisher for the purpose of in
fluencing the governor in his behalf
These solicited endorsements are TO be
published in the World Herald as evidence
of the spontaneous uprising of the people in
unanimous demand for Hitchcock for
senator A sample of the system is indicated
by the following dispatch:
"DAKOTA CITY, Neb., Dec. S.-(Special0
C. W. Sayre, local correspondent of the
World Herald at this point, yesterday re-
Ceived two-page telegram from the World
Herald soliciting his efforts in behalf Of Mr..
Hitchcock and asking that he interview
fusion politicians as to their choice and re-
port to headquarters. The populist senti-
ment hereabouts is almost united for Allen"

TAYLOR IS GIVEN CERTIFICATE
Election Board Finds Republicans Are
Elected on Face of Returns
POYNTz PRESENTS A MINORITY REPORT
Extensive Preparations Being Made
to Innupurntc Taylor Next Tues
dny-PoSntz Condemns CALL
ing ont Militin.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Dec s.-The State
Board o. Elections tonight gave out it's
official findings that w S Taylor, for gov
ernor. and the rest Of the republican ticket
have been elected on the face of the returns.
Commissioners Ellis and Prior signed the
majority report, in which they told that as
board of canvassers, they have 40 right
to go behind the returns of the county
board, that their duties are purely ministe-
rial as canvassers, that the face Of the re-
turns as received by them from the coun-
ties show the election Of the republican state
ticket and certificates of election were or
dered Issued to each candidate thereon.
Commissioner Poyntz presents a minority
report, which he closes by saying:
II am unwilling to certify to fraud to
turn Kentucky over to the control of the
bayonet, Calling gun and fraudulent tissue
ballots"
Extensive preparations are being made to
inaugurate Taylor next Tuesday.
Following is the opinion of the majority
on Governor Bradeys action in calling out
the militia on election day:
1t is contended by counsel for the dem
oCratic candidates that the military force
of the state was wrongfully and illegally
called out on the day of the recent cleo
ton with n view of intimidaung the Cill-
zens and voters of the city of Louisville.
swer is that we cannot, as Il mere can,
vassing board consider the grave and
constitutional question whlCh they seek
to enforce upon our consideration But
in Justice to counsel and to ourselves we
deem it relevant and pertinent to at least
instance our view on the case. 1t Is q
fact, about which we express no opinion,
that the militia of this commonwealth
was called out by the chief executive of
the state on election day and if the gov
ernor of the commonwealth was in fact
present in the city of Louisville person
ally in command of the state troops, as
argued, that presents a condition that
does not meet the approval of this board
and which, in our opinion the law uu-
0ualihcdly condemns.
1t will certainly not do in Kentucky
for anybody occupying official station or
seeking political preferment to call to his
aid or assistance the aid of the militia
of the state. Such conduct is not merely
reprehensibe in the first place, but it
, cannot be tolerated for a moment by the
Anglo-SaXon blood, which is represented
in the citizenship of this country. No
law writer of any respectability and no
court has ever agreed that a thing like
this could ever be done in time of peace
with impunty.

BRADLEY REPLIES TO TARvIN
Kentucky Judge Offers ia Fight Cow
crnor at Long Range and Re-
cciyes IA Hot shot.

FRANKFORT, KY. Dec. S.-Governor
Bradley tonight gave out his first public ut
terance on the burning of the negro. Dick
Coleman, at Maysyille. This came in reply
TO an interview by Judge James p Taryin of
Covington, crticising the state authorities
and holding them responsible for the Mays
Vile mob, The governor this afternoon
wired Tarvin, asking him il he had been
correctly reported, and received the follow
ing reply
The penalty given Coleman may be con-
sidered just, but the failure of the authori-
ties TO protect him after he was in custody
was wrong and any citizen has a right to
criticise il. The fact that he was a negro
hardly above a brute, is only the more rea-
son for protecting him. II your telegram
means fight ! have the choice of weapons
and choose cannon, you to stay at Frankfort
and l at Coyington. Please don't send

said:
This dispatch is characteristic OF the
man. II the penalty given Coleman by the
people was Just why should Taryin object?

Quiet mt WnsIinuton.

WASHINGTON, Dec S.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-There was a lull in the situation
today, so far as the Hayward succession is
concerned, due to information from Ne
braska that Governor Poynter would ap
point ex-senator Allen. Whether this in
formation is correct remains to be seen but
fusionists in congress expressed themselves
as hopeful that Poynter had seen the way
and would follow it.
Congressman Sulzer of New York, it was
stated. had sent a telegram to Governor
Poynter asking that Alien be appointed in
view OF the logic of the situation. The at
tempt to draw democratic senators into the
fight for Allen has, however, proved una
vailing Senator Jones of Arkansas stating
that it was a local matter and should be
settled without any outside assistance. No
appointment is expected before next week.

CUBANS TALK INDEPENDENCE
Meeting to Celebrate Anniversary of
NIacco's Death Develops Violent
Patriotic Demonstration.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. S.-A meet
ing held at the Antonio Maceo club last
night to celebrate the anniversary OF the
death of Maceo developed a violent patriotic
demonstration against the Americans. This
club represents the national party and is
composed of colored people, of whom there
were 900 present. One prominent colored
politician said during the proceedings that
the time was nearly ripe for the spirit of
free Cuba to leap from the grave of Maceo
and to drive the intruders from the island.
All criticised President McKinley's Cuban
policy, although General Quinten Bandera
disappointed his hearers by a mild speech,
in which he advised patience until the
American policy had been fully defined.
The local press violently criticised Presi-
dent McKinleys message. Americans and
foreigners are hoping that the prominence
given to the color question in insular poll
tics will lead to annexation.
