The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1899-04-01

THERE is an old fable which
tells OF two cats that quarreleo
SO hard over the division of
piece OF cheese and each was SC
set in her determination TO have
her way that an amicable solu,
ton OF the difficulty was i'm
possible and they called IN q mon
key as Arbitrator. The monkey
took n pair OF balances and find.
ing one piece heavier than the
other, bit off a big chunk from the
heavier one and ate il up.
This had the effect of making
the other piece the heavier and
to even up he bit big chunk off
that one. He continued this
practice until the cats, seeing
the cheese reduced TO a very
small amount. cried out TO him
To stop or they would have no
cheese left, whereat the monkey
TANNED the remaining portion of
the cheese into his mouth saying
that il belonged TO him as a fee
for settling their dispute.
To u man up n tree. il looks
very much as if the Republican
party in this town is emulating
TO n nicely the two cats in the
fable and that they are faring
about rs we'll as did their feline
countcrparts while the Demo
cratic monkey. which they have
called in, is gormandi2ing upon
the offices over which they are
disputing and will, If the quarrel
continues, very soon have as his
fee. the whole cheese. Where
soreheadedness is rampant 1t Is
folly To preach harmony.
Where the policy OF dog eat dog
and the spirit of personal revenge
is the uppormost thoughtin every
mind the end is in sight, and the
observing man prepares for tie
obsequies, SO To those who are
guilty. we have only 10 say as
did Pontius PLATE when his own
people clamorcd for the death OF
Christ. His blood be on thy
hands.

We can see no valid reason
why Republican should cut
any Republican nominee no
matter what ticket he is on, so
long rs he is worthy of the
place he seeks but whatever
may be the position of
local Republicans towards the
municipal ticket, they should
remember that there is state

ought TO receive the unanimous

WHERE ARE WE AT.

All the talk about Receiver For
dyce appointing a general manager
for the X. c., P. & G road, to fill
the place made vacant by the death
of General Manager Gilham, is
moonshine. We see from the ST.
Louis Republic and Globe-Democrat
that Receiver Fordyce is in Chicago
in conference with Il. H. Harri
man, who is president of the
Chicago g. Alton railroad and
other magnates and heads Of trust
companies, looking to the absorp-
ton of the K~-C,, p. & G road by
purchase and throwing it into a
trunk road under the name of the
c, h A. This meeting of money in
terests are also discussing the pur-
chase Of several other roads and if
the deals contemplated, are accom-
plished, the Alton will have things
its own way. Mr.. S. M. FELTON,
may to be made general manager of
the property. The above smacks
strongly of a gigantic railroad
trust and we hope the deal will fall
through.

over the house as best suited their
convenience in finding seats when

others left, prefering to forego the
pleasure of the entertainment rath-
er than stand.
1t was fully nine o'clock before a
move was made for a beginning,
aud this prolonged the entertain
meat until after eleven o'clock, but
those present showed no desire to

row:
IAN uprising of the colored race against
the administration at Washington is being
organized in Boston. This is the seat of the
movement that is proposed wherever the
colored people are populous. The instiga-
tors assert that it will mean the downfall
of Mckinley, Imperialism and the repub-
lican party. The object of this organization
is a revolt at the ballot box.
But there are those among its support
ers who would willingly take part in an
armed uprising, and who. were it possible,
would offer their strength to aid the Fill
pinos in their struggle for independence.
ION Monday evening the first meeting of
the Boston colored auxiliary of the Nation
al Anti-Imperialist league will be held in
st. Paul's Baptist church. fremont and
Camden streets. DR.. jeremiah Wilkfe, of
Washington, a writer of negro sufferings,
and president of the auxiliary movement,
came from the seat of government last
week and had several conferences with
Edward Atkinson and Irving Winslow pre-
paratory to the work of organization. 1t

LONG LOST HUSBAND
Perishes In Time to Leave a Wife
$35O,OOO Estate

Chicago, ILL.,, July 15.-Mrs Josephine SUIT
ton has entered claim for the $3.50 900 es-
tate left by a miner who perished in the
Klondike about two months ago, and ac-
cording to information received today from
Washington she stands a good chance of
securing the fortune. The dead man is sup
posed to have been her first husband, Will
liam Sutton, who left Chicago two years
ago for the gold country, and has never
been heard of since until Mrs. Sutton read
of his death in the papers.
Mrs. Sutton communicated with the state
department forwarding a minute descrp-
ton of her husband. A description of the
dead miner was also received from James
c. McCook, United States consul-general at
Dawson City. and the two descriptions tally
so closely that there is little doubt that
the dead man was Mrs. Suttons husband.
If the authorities at Dawson City are con-
vinced of the genuineness of Mrs. Sutton's s
claim, Consul McCook will be Instructed to
at once take steps to put her in possession
of the stake.

Henry +. DeBardeleben as he used to be.
Mr.. DeBardeeben is actively and effect
lively engaged In his old time work of de-
veloping the riches of the Birmingham min
eral region.
On yesterday he and his associates, chief
of whom is Morris Adler, finally closed
transactions that placed these developers
in possession of one hundred thousand
acres of the most valuable mineral lands
in the world.
Mr.. DeBardeleben is the master of tine
mineral lands of both sides of the Warrior
river from a point almost opposite Bir-
mingham to Tuscaloosa, a distance of forty
miles. Thus the Great Developer comes
into possession of a domain of imperial ex-
tent and richness, and thus is enabled to
face the world richer in the worlds goods
than he was the other year when his wealth
was counted in millions.
Mr.. DeBardeleben and his associates
have acquired the mineral lands on both
sides of that stretch of the Warrior river
which the government is now engaged in
making navigable all the year around.
Moreover, Mr.. DcBardeieben has acquired
the lends voted by congress during its
last session to the Girls Industrial school
at Montevallo and to Booker Washing
toms school at Tuskegee for colored per-
SONS, amounting In each case to 25 900
acres. The price paid for these school
lands Mr.. DeBardeleben declined to state.
The tatement of facts as here given is
published by authority of Mr.. DeBardeleben
himself.

Strike on Four We eks

The Ishkooda mines are located across
the mountain eight miles from Birming-
ham, and are operated by the Robinson
Mining company.
About four weeks ago a committee Of
miners called upon the company officials
and asked for ten per cent. increase in
wages. This was refused and many of the
miners went on a strike.
The mines have not been running up TO
their full capacity until the past three or
four days when they began to import la
Dor.
Several carloads of negroes were brought
from Georgia and placed to work. Several
of them were fired upon a few days ago,
but without fatal result
Yesterday the mines were running at
their full capacity, turning out about 80
cars.
Most of the strikers are negroes who
belong to the knights of Labor.

horrible cruelty by band of White Caps
has reached here from Montgomery county.
James Irwin, half-witted individual, had
incurred the displeasure of a gang of
toughs at Black Springs. He was stripped,
rubbed with lye soap and shaven from head
to foot, being badly lacerated in the fend-
ish operation. He was then beaten with pis-
tolls and finally placed in a rain barrel and
churned up and down until consciousness
left him. Several arrests have been made.

arms as result of the wholesale vaccina-
tion, which has been made compulsory.
There have been no deaths but for the past
