ing a fellow prisoners first night in
this terrible hole:
II have already described night In this
Black Hole of Calcutta but II might not
be out of place to give a slight description
of the first night Ibrahim Pasha Fauzi--
one Of Gordon's favorite officers-spent in
that inferno. When taken to the anvil to
have his chains welded on Fauzi broke
down completely, and was carried off in
swoon to the Umm Hagar, placed sitting
with his back in an angle of the wall fur
thest from the door and there left. When
the first batch of prisoners were driven In
al sunset there was room for all to lie down
on the foul and saturated ground. When
the second batch was driven In about an
hour and a half later all had to sit up with
the newcomers, and Faults outstretched
legs gave a dry and comfortable seat to
four big Soudaneese. l was driven In with
the third batch after the night prayers and
then all had to stand up or be trampled on.
Fauzi, still suffering from the effects of the
shell wound received in one of the sorties
from Khartoum, with four people sitting
or standing on him. and being heavily
chained as well. was unable to rise to his
feet could hear him from my place near
the door feebly expostulating with the
people who were standing upon him. I
thought that maybe he was being trampled
to death, and in my then fregzied state
commenced to fight my way towards him,
striking friend and foe Unfortunately.
A general fight was soon In progress. The
warders hearing the uproar opened the
doors, and, as usual, commenced to be-
Ia Dor the heads of all they could reach with
their sticks and whips. / recognized the
voices of one or two near Fauzi, and enlist
ing their sympathies we finally succeeded
In getting him on his feet. AT mid
night the doors OF the cell were thrown
open again and about 20 men were thrust
into the place. Practically there was no
room for them, but they had to be driven In
by some means. To make space for them
the gaolers resorted to their favorite
device Of throwing into the cells handfuls
Of blazing straw and grass. and at the same

desert much of it was appropriated by
his iailers or the khaleefa.
Escape was well-nigh impossible, for
to reach a place of safety it was neces-
sary to cross the desert, and this was
impossible without relays of camels.
And so the poor unfortunate captives,

were tortured day after days with but
small chance Of relief ever reaching
them. One can well imagine with what
ordinations of JOY Gen. Kitchener and
his army were received when they
struck the death blow 10 the khaleefa
at Omdurman and released the prison
ers who had suffered so much al the
hands Of the fanatics.

no other book of the
w year has excited so much COM

liz year has exclteo so muc2 coln-
IL ment by the press of the entire
civilized world, and especially in Amer
lea, England and Germany, as has that
of Charles Neufeld, entitled "A Pris-
oner of the Khaleefa." The great ma
iority of this comment, however, has
not been directed so much to the inter-
est, or lack of it, in the book itself as to
Neufeld's refutation of charges made
against him by escaped prisoners from
the Soudan who charged Neufeld with
attempting TO tighten his imprison-
ment by manufacturing for the kha-
leefa gunpowder and cartridges with
which the black army of the mahdl
were to kill English soldiers. All Of
these charges, charges which lost
nothing in their repetition, Neufelc
refutes and presents voluminous proof
in support of his statements.
But aside from this feature of the
book there is still another side that is
of great interest. Ii is that which deals
with the methods of the mahdi in their
treatment of the prisoners they held
for so long time. White men were
held in captivity by this horde of Sou
dan black fanatics from the time of the
death of Gordon until Gen. Kitchener
released them when he captured the
mahdi stronghold at Omdurman last
year. OF his first reception in Omdur-
man, and his treatment by the blacks
acting under orders from the khaleefa,
Neufeld says:
q" My feet were next fettered,
and a ring, with long heavy chain at
tached, was fastened about my neck. Dur

A FARM OR A FACTORY.

| When you buy farm, or build a fac
tory, it is natural to consider all condi-
| tons, and TO locate to the very best ad-
vantage. In the northern portion of
Wisconsin their lies vast stretch of I'M
developed, or partially developed coun-
try, which is awaiting the settler and
manufacturer to turn it into productive
ness and wealth.
Thousands of acres of rich lands Gov
cred with fine hardwood timber are open
to the settler, who can obtain as much as
he desires at very reasonable figures and
upon easy terms. improvements, such
as school houses and roads are being
pushed and ten years of progress will
make an astonishing change.
The earth's rich deposits of iron ore,
clay, kaolin and mari, together with
hardwood timber, easily supply the wants
of the manufacturer and offer fine in
ducement for the location of plant or
factory.
The Wisconsin Railway Co running
through this rich timber and mineral
belt, has opened it to the world by offer
ing quick and cheap transit to the prin-
cipal markets of the country.

tions, maps and phamphlets will be sent

That was but one of hundreds of just
such nights. A man who went down
during one of them was usually
trampled to death before the morning
came to relieve him. 1t was but seldom
that any effort was made to rescue such
an unfortunate.
For much of the - years that Neufeld
remained in captivity the prisoners
were kept employed during the day,
and so their opportunity for sleep wars
bat small. For food they had only
what friends purchased for them, and.

portRtion and middle-man intervention
by saving for himself the difference be-
tween the charter rates which would b.
charged to the frst-class seacoast port
Of Astoria as against the inferior ports
Of Tacoma, Seattle and Portland. This
is a brief, simple and straightforward
statement .Os the Astoria proposition.
II it .is false or unsOund in any
particular, let the Ledger point out
its error, not only for the satisfaction
of the Astorian. but OF thousands Of
inland readers who are studying ia
problem Of why such a low wheat
market uniformly exists in Washington
and Oregon as contrasted with the in
valfbIy higher market Of other seaboard
states on the Pacific and Atlantic coast.

subject with the candor and fairness its
Importance unQuestionably deserves, let

exactly as stated and then show why II
cannot be maintained.
