Emilio Aguinaldo was born March %.

he was elected Mayor OF Cavite.
On August a. 1895. Aguinaldo became

the Spanards' 80.
On December a. 1897, a peace was es-
tabished between Aguinaldo and the
Spanish. Aguinaldo received 10000, but
the rest of the conditions of peace were
never carried out.
In June last Aguinaldo issued a pro-
clamation. expressing a desire for the
establishment OF a native administration
in the Philippines under an American
protectorate. In an interview at that
time he expressed himself as grateful 10

In July he issued a proclamation fixing

The businessmen of Atlanta have de-
cided to have an agricultural fair in that
city. and steps will be forthwith taken
to push the scheme to a successful termi-
nation. The city of Atlanta will herself
supply all the necessary money and capa-
bic citizens have consented to give the
project their time and attention. Ex-Gov-
ernor Northen, a practical farmer, will
be at the head of the management, and
the State Agricultural Society will lend
its assistance. IT is the purpose of those
interested TO give Georgia the biggest fair
she ever had.
The people of Richmond and the State
at large should now initiate the example
set by our enterprising Georgia friends.
While It would be impracticsble to have
a fair here within the next few months
especially as some of our sister cities
have such schemes on hand for the near
future-we could begin casting our nets
for a great agricultural event to take
place within a year or so.
Richmond is better prepared to-day than
ever before to entertain visitors, and
combination of our merchants. farmers,
and enterprising citizens could produce
a fair that would reflect the highest credit
on the state. 1t has been many years
since our people have had an agricultural
exhibit representing the whole State. and
If properly managed such an enterprise
would be cordially supported.

As to Comfy Primaries.

There appeared I'm these columns two
weeks ago some remarks in regard to
county primaries to determine who OF the
Democratic asprants should be the coun-
tvs choice. Since that time many of the
aspirants Tor Offices have been questioned
regarding that plan. Noneeof them eX-
press any opposition. although some say
that method has some Objectionable fea-
lures.
There is no objection can be raised
TO this plan that is not also found in any
other method while it is free from many
that are contained in the others. 1t is
an undeniable fact that the primary plan
will come nearer getting an expression
Of the peoples choice than any other, and
since they are the ones who should die
tate i'm these matters, it is for them to
decide.
Another well-known fact is that where
no nominations are made combinations
are often formed between candidates OF
opposing parties. combinations which are
bound to sacrifice a certain amount Of the
partys principle. IT Is for the avoidance
of these combinations. the avoidance OF
these sacrifices, that we wish nomina-
tions. And as a further preventive of
evil. let the nominations be by party

After an able protest against the deci-
sion of the lower court, the lawyers add:
IF there is any liability in the case 1t
is on the second ground, and our defence
must be the impossibility OF what is ex-
acted OF us. Cars will cast a shadow. and
the hog, who was a Sybarite long before
Sybaris was founded. dearly loves the
SHADE. We have all heard of Peter Schle-
mil. who sold his shadow TO the devil Tor
an inexhaustible purse Of gold; but we
have no communion with the devil, and
our cars will. therefore. have TO cast
shadows as long as the sun shines, and
as long as the hog survives in a world so
fitted TO his nature that he is likely to be
its inhabitant he or she will seek the
shade"
After such arguments as these, 1t Is
needless to say that the railroad lawyers
won their case. The rhetorical pearls
they cast to this particular pig were not
unavaling.

REWARD FoR MuRDERERs.
Slayer OF William Graham, Killed
In South Dakota, Sought.

SIOUX FALLS, SD, June 11.-Gov Lee
has just renewed the state reward of
$500 for the apprehension of the murder
er or murderers of William Graham, a
Gregory county settler. This action by
the governor recalls this crime, which
Is one of the most mysterious ever COM
mitted In the state, persistent efforts to
unravel 1t having been baffied. The re-
neWal of the reward at this particular
time indicates that the authorities yet
entertain hopes of solving the mystery
surrounding the death of Graham
Graham, bachelor, went to the town
of Bonesteel, preparatory to leaving for
the Northern harvest fields. He was last
seen at Bonesteel on July 10, 1893. About
lO O'Clock in the evening of that day
he departed from town for his camp. Half
an hour later d. H. Gaughen drove along
the road nearest Graham's temporary
home He heard the report of a gun, but,
not suspecting trouble of any kind, did
not stop to investigate the cause of the
shooting. Still later Peter Waugh, an
other settler, also on his way home from
town, met team attached to a wagon,
with dog following, which he recog-
nized as Graham's. Some days later Gra-
hams horses were found wandering on
the prairie. Searching parties discovered
the body of the unfortunate man in a
dry and shallow well on the Rosebud
Indian reservation, which extends into
Gregory county. Death was caused by a
rifle shot, the ball having passed entire
ly through the body. Near the well were
found the buckles, tires. and other metal
parts of harnesses and wagon, the
combustible portions having been con-
sumed by fire.
