ALABAMA is bravely doing her part
to keep the lynching record from Ian
gushing. Missouri held a lynching
bee few days ago. Louisiana did it
and Ohio wanted to but didn't dare.
These states no doubt belong on roll
of honor. Their leading citizens who
engage in these affairs are always such
fine fellows, who march by thousands
to meeting place, leach man with q
look of terrible earnestness and deter
mination on his face,' as the dispatch
es always say. all thissarmy to string
I'D a miserable beast and fill him full
of holes. Wouldn't it seem q
little better if some of this
terrible earnestness and deter
mination' were expended in
reorganizing the criminal courts and
procedure. elevating honorable men to
high positions, putting men of trust in
places of trust, turning out some OF the
shyster lawyers, and putting things in
such shape that justice under the forms
of law might be obtained in these cases
of outrage and execution of the SEN
tence carried out without undue de-
lay? Every time mob of a thousand
men deliberately break the law and
override the constitution of the United
States and the constitutions of the
states, they give encouragement
Thousand times over to the individual
lawbreaker. If the mob is an efficient
substitute for law, then away with all
pretence, away with government, away
with "civilization," and back to saw
agery.

BUILDING INSPECTOR.

Every city and town OF any IN

all plans and specifications must be
submitted for approval before any
building can be erected. We heart
lily agree with other cities in this
ilea but woall insist that the sc!cc-
ton be one who is thoroughly CON,

ested parties.
Does anyone suppose for a mo
m ,nt that an Inspector would have
allowed such building as the Dunn
building to have been erected on
Main street for the use of the pub
lie in trading with the occupant:
Any bum inspector would have
turned down gable constructed
with brick bats and pieces Of rock
with roof of some fifty feet span
and no mud beams or angle braces
to prevent spreading.

store looms, thinking they were run

The present style is to " je.

CAPT. JACK CRAWFORD.
Claims to Have Discovered Wonder
full Platinum Deposits in Alaska

Chicago, March 9.-Captain Jack Craw-
ford. the ''Poet-Scout,'' it s Gained, has
made discoveries of platinum in Alaska
Of almost incalculanie value.
The discovery of these rich deposits of
platinum was made by Crawford while
acting for Frank B. Vrooman, one time
minister of the gospel, but now pro-
moter of mining enterprises. The finds
were made by Captain Jack after he had
almost despaired of separating the gold
from the washings of the black sand of
the KIondike creeks. For a long time
the grayish scales of mineral had been
discarded by the miners valueless and
only by an accident was it discovered that
The knowledge of the discovery of this
platinum has but. just reached Chicago
from the far-off land of the treasure
seekers. The prospector sent on the news
and recent government reports to the
state department at Washington from the
United States consul at Dawson City have
fully verified the first rumors.
were made lies along the HootaIinqua
river for many miles: Leases of these
government by Mr.. Vrooman, that he
might begin dredging operations at once.
Captain Jack Crawford was sent to the
north at the head of a prospecting party,
for the purpose of ascertaining the value
Mr.: Crawford reached the field Of his
the black sand, which has heretofore been
considered a nuisance by miners in all
the easy washing of gold and has many
times compelled the abandonment of COM
rauVely favorable placerS.
Captain Jack encountered this sand and
by it the sturdy spirit of the scout was
dismayed and report was rendered to
Valueless. At later day he concluded to
investigate anew, and so went back to
the sandy banks of the creeks
A part of the equipment of the treasure
seeker magnet, and with this he at
tempted to separate the particles which
adhered together in spite of the most per-
sistent washing. Quantities of magnetic
iron chung to the magnet.
These. were removed and other particles
f1oated upon the surface of the murky
water in the pan and with them were
thin flecks of gray mineral. The sight of
these aroused the curiosity of the argo-
naut. A quantity of these were collected
and conveyed to the assayer at Dawson
City. DR.. Willis f. Everett, who is con-
nected with the Smithsonian institution.
For days Captain Jack haunted the hut
in which the assayer made his tests. At
but he neglected the gold and only sought
the gray metal He had premonitiOnS OF
a great discovery.
Finally the assay was concluded and the
report showed platinum in the hitherto
despised black sand In a ton of the sand
there was enough platinum to give a
valua ton of $776. while the gold was worth
about $1O2 The delighted prospector sent
his report to his chiefs, who almost re-
port of Consul McCook. confirming the
story of the discovery, with the result
that the gold seekers will turn to the
search for platinum The world at large
will get the benefit, but Chicago enter
prise will reap the real glory.

FIELD FOR CAPITAL.
In the Philippines and the Belgian
Consul Wants to Work It.

New York, March 9.-Edouard c. An
DIRE, the Belgian consul at Manila is at
the Hotel Marlborough. He will be in
stock company with a capital of $780,
900, 900 for investment in the Philippine
islands. Mr.. Andre is confident there
is a great field for American capital in
the Philippines and the company which
money into the development of a rail-
road system for the islands. Mr.. Andre
thinks that more than 1900 miles of
railroad can be run very profitably in
various parts of this country's new ac-
QUESTION and Offhand puts the cost of
building such railroads at about 100000
a mile.
According to Mr.. Andre, only one
tenth of all the territory is in a state of
cultivation, the land uncultivated being
quite as good as that which is being
worked. This land, he assumes, coloniZ-
ers from this country can receive free
of cost as land grants from the United
States government.
He says l 800 or 2, 900 acres would not
be a large grant for an individual. One
thousand dollars, he says, would clear
200 acres of land for cultivation.
Mr.. Andre has many specimens of
Philippine products, including coal, iron,
copper and gold.
The consul says only 10000 insurgents
are in arms or about half the number
arrayed against Spain. He thinks arm
ed opposition will cease when this coun-
try announces it's intention as to the
form of government decided on.

SO-Called Canned Roast Beef
Furnished the Army
During the Cuban Campaign
Believed by Many
TO BE NOT BEEF AT ALL
General Miles Attorney Will
Try to Prove It.
Specimens to Be Subjected to
Chemical Examination.

Washington, March 9.-Light seems to
be breaking upon some of the shady
transactions involved in the beef scam
dal. There is a strong probability that
much of the canned roast beef to which
the troops on transports and in the
fields of Cuba and Porto Rico objected
was not beef at all, but horse meat
This is the theory constructed by some
men who have closely followed the pro-
ceedings of the Alger relief commission
and the beef court of inquiry. 1t IS
theory built on strong circumstantlaL
evidence.
The theory has been accepted by
Major Lee, the counsel for General Miles,
and he will seek to prove according TO
the rules of evidence that much OF the
alleged canned roast beef furnished TO
the army was boiled horse.
Major Lee will insist on sending a
bona fide specimen can to the bureau
of animal industry of the department
of agriculture for examination. The cans
of meat hitherto submitted to the de-
partment of agriculture for chemical
analysis with a view to determining the
nutrition of the meat were not represen-
tative canS-that is, they were not fair
samples of the meats issued to the
troops during the campaign an the
tropics They did not contain the kind
of meat which sickened the soldiers
and against which they vehemently pro-
tested.
Nearly every line officer, both regular
and volunteer who has been called be-
fore the Miles court of inquiry, has tes-
tilted that the men would not eat the
canned roast meat. They would throw
it away, causing a great shortage In
their rations, and suffer from hunger
rather than eat it. 1t nauSeated them
and made them unfit for military duty.
Every private and nOn-commiSStoned
officer who had appeared before the
court has insisted that the meat tasted
strange" and did not smell of the kind
of beef used at home, was dark red,
coarse and fibrous. That it was tough
and Stringy and the fat was SOFT yellow
and unusual in appearance.
DR.. Bigelow, assistant chemist of the
agricultural department, has accom-
panied the beef query board to Chicago
as a scientific expert attached to the
board. He will chemically examine
samples of all the beef inspected by the
board and on the completion of the in
spection trip will report the results Of
his analysis through the secretary of
agriculture to the board.
The court applied through Colonel
Davis to the secretary of agriculture
in the first instance to detail DR.. H. w.
Wiley the chemist of the department,
who conducted the war commissions
investigation into the chemical charac-
ter of the meat furnished the army, as
the adviser. AS DR.. Wiley is engaged
upon a number of scientific inquiries it
was found impossible for him to go and
the secretary detailed, instead, DR.. Bige-
low, who is a valued assistant of the
chief chemist.
