KLONDIKERS IN COURT.
Liquor Law Violators Arrested, Gave
Bail and Will Be Tried in
November.

Leavenworth, Oct. 13.-Nine Klondike
residents were arrested yesterday for
violating the prOhibitory law in keep
ing and maintaining a place where in
toxicating liquors are sold and selling
malt, vinous and other Intoxicating Ii
quors.
The names of the parties arrested
are: Louis Gordon, Gustave A. and
Mary Lanitz, Gertrude Karst, John and
Mary Bodde, Cornelius Kennedy, James
Bailey and Harry ShallcrOss. There are
sixteen counts against each offender.
The parties were arrested yesterday
morning on warrants issued from the
office of the district court on an order
from the district court. They were
brought before the district court and
their bail fixed at $500. which they gave
and were released. The trials were set
for the November term of court.
The information against the Klondik-
ers was filed by County Attorney Wen
dorff and he is the officer who is prose-
cutting the cases.
Under Sheriff Stance Meyers and
Deputy Bucher served the warrants on
the KIondikers yesterday. They made
no liquor.
Said Meyers: 1--WE looked for liquor
as specified in the information, but
found none. All we found in the build
ings named in the information was a
few bottles of soda water"
The Klondikers were well aware the
action was to be taken against them,
having been given a tip on it, and
were prepared to have their premises
searched for liquor. They had ample
time to make away with it.

wait with Guietness and confidence. To
the press representing both sides, he
would appeal for pity, sympathy, gen
erosity and charity; and he wished to
make similar appeal to the churches
and to the natives of the colony. The
time had not yet arrived for him to
say what part he had played in trying
to esta ablish peace in South Africa.
That would come later.
Let this colony said the premier,
in conclusion, 'fbe a kind of haven dur
ing the storm which has burst upon
south Africa; and let US all pray for
the establishment of an honorable
peace throughout our beloved country -
A WATCH ON THE NATIVES.
London, Oct. 13.-A dispatch from
Cape Town say that no doubt is felt
as to the loyalty of Lerothodi and other
native chiefs, and the Basutos are still
well in hand, but the resident commits
sioner has decided to patrol the border
in order to prevent raids.
The latest direct dispatch from Ma
feking says that although the Beers
are moving restlessly in the vicinity of
their laager, there is no sign vet of an
attempt to cross the border.

Chief

Liverpool, Oct. 13.-The steamer Niger
which arrived today from southwest
Africa, brings news of the massacre
of Lieutenant Guise, German commits
sioner at Rio Del Rey, near Old Gala
bar river, on the Blight of Biafra, and
also of Herr Leemeyer, a German trad
er, together with a hundred native SOL
diers and carriers, constituting an ex-
pedition formed by Lieutenant Guise to
queIl disturbances near the Cross river,
which forms the boundary between
British and Germany territory.
A native chief was taken as a guide
but he led the expedition into ambush.
He was promptly shot when the Ger
mans received a volley. They fought
coura geously but were outnumbered
and slain. The natives then looted the
neighbOring factories and murdered the
native employees. after which they
crossed into British territory. Two
British traders, who were warned, had
a narrow escape. managing to get down
the river in a canoe and to reach Rio
Dey Rey, where they found only a soli-
tary German official and a half dozen
black soldiers.
Great excitement prevailed at Rio
Del Rey when the Niger left on Sep
tenber II, as it was thought the ma
tives might come there.
News had been sent to the CameronS,
from which point a German, relief ex-
peditiOu could be dispatched.

A FUNSTON STORY.
The General Was Captured by School
Children After the Parade.

San Francisco, Oct. 13.-General Fun
ston remained at the reviewing point
after the parade until his old regiment
had passed. Then he saluted General
Shafter and, accompanied by an order
ly and a lieutenant of artillery, rode
slowly down the avenue to Sutton
street There he dismOunted, the or
derby took his horse in charge and then,
with the lieutenant, headed at a gallop
for the Presidio.
General Frederick Funston, the hero
of Calumpit, was left all alone on the
curbstOne, waiting for a car while the
glittering staff from the Preside ham
mered the asphalt on the way back to
quarters. But the man who swan the
Bagbag was not left long in solitude
with his glory. Unknown to him
lot of leather lunged, nimbIe footed
youngsters were stealing down on his
unprotected position. They threw out
sklrmishers, who stopped every few
steps to wave beckOning arms to those
behind. Then came the real insurgents
against the Funston solitude.
They moved up in echelon, went on
right and left into line, formed close
column on the first division, rallied on
the colOrs and did many and various
things unknown to tactics or reguIa-
uons but managed to surround the
general and to capture him and his
arms without striking a blow.
Say, general, hOw's the swimming
ed, freckle-faced boy. Wet" said
Funston.
Then you should have heard that boy
cheer and all the other boys and all
the little girls and many big aud pretty
girls, too, and the people at the win
dows and on the doorsteps and the
crowds going home from parade-thev
all gathered around that red-headed
lad and the man from Kansas and
cheered and cheered
when I'm big. I'll be a soldier" g"

the general, but held his mothers hand
tightly.
If you do you'll be good one"
salo Funston, as he rushed from the
crowd and boarded a car bo11nd down
town. In the next five minutes the
conductor of that car was the busiest
man IN town Some hundreds tried to
BOARD mis- car all at once, Just to look
at Funston at their leisure He could
not get away from his admirers until
the doors of the Occidental hotel had
closed behind him.

Chartered in the First Six Months
of the Year. An Increase

The State.

Since the first of the year char

million dollars. OF this amount

ttom the semi-annual statement
of Mr. y L Can't, chief clerk IN

There was great progress in the
State last year, but Mr. Gantt's S
comparative statement shows that

Issued to concerns capitalized at
81, S89, 700 against 50, 226,7OO
this year--a gain of 1887, 900.
But while the aggregate capitaIi-
zatlon of new concerns is very en-
couraging, there is even greater
reason for cOngratuIation on ac-
count of the wonderful amount of
capital stock increased. The first
six months of this year South
Carolina enterprises increased
their capital stock from Sl,347, =

Two Little Girls Drink Water

to The Chronicle from Dallas,
Tex, says: Two girls, one eight
years old and the other ten,
daughters of the widow of John
Moore, lost their lives by drink
ing poison, which, it is claimed
by the police authorities, was pre-
pared for their mother, who is an
important State witness in the
case against the men accused Of
lynching the Humphreys. The
poison was placed in a water pitch
er in the house of Mrs Moore.
Her little girls became thirsty
and their mother gave each q
drink from the pitcher. Deatt

PASSING OF ALGER.
His Resignation as Secretary of
War Sent in Sooner than ex-
pected.

Washington, July 19.-Secre>
tary Alger today rendered to the
President his resignation of the
war portfolio. The resignation
will become effective on August
first, though it was rendered ''at
the pleasure of the President. "
Gossip has begun already as to
his successor, but it is entirely
speculative, for Notwithstanding
the reports that Mr. Alger would
not long continue at the head of
the War Department, his actual
resignation came suddenly and
unexpectedly. SO little was it
expected at this time, that some
of the cabinet officers, when the
news first became public were in
cIlned to regard the announcement
as premature. Formal acceptance
of the resignation had not been
made by the president up to a late
hour tonight, but will be in a let
ter to be written within the next
day or two. No official statement
as to the cause Of the resignation
was procurable either from the
President or from Secretary AL
ger, neither of whom would talk
on the subject, nor was the letter
of resignation obtainabIe at this
time. For the present nothing
will be made known officially con-
corning the severance of the Off
cial relations between the Presi-
dent and his War Minister, but
later on, the correspondence clos
ing the latter's career as chief of
the War Department doubtless
will be given to the press.
