SAND RICH WITH GOLD.
There Will Soon BE Great Stamped
for Cape Nome.

There Will Soon BE a Great Stampede
for Cape Nome.
The coming stampede to the new gold
fields of Cape Nome, Alaska, promises to
eclipse anything of the kind in recent
years. Communication cannot be opened
before May, but the summer will see an
influx of fully G0,000 miners into this
newly discovered field. There were 2,OOO
men there last year and the stories OF
their success have spread far and wide.
Gov. Brady is much worried over the
question Of how order is to be preserved.
The richest deposits are on the beach be-
tween the low and high tide marks and
no title can be given to claims. Last
summer the miners agreed to respect one
another's rights, but when the rush comes
there will be many clashes and doubtless
much bloodshed. The field is extremely
rich and is easy to work. Last summer
about $3,5O0,000 in gold was taken out,
one claim paying $4,000 in five weeks.
One of the steamers took $50 tons of
sand shoveled at random from the beach
to San Francisco last year. 1t was put
into big smelter there, and yielded 3d.
600 in gold. The beach has been pros
pected for fifteen miles. Nobody knows
where the gold came from. Some think
it was from the hills, brought down by
glaciers, and some think it was thrown up
by q volcano.

Kentucky Tragedy.

story Of Woman Who witnessed the
Kentucky Tragedy. <
Mrs. Amelia b. Saffel, widow Of the
late William 3. Saffei, Jr., who keeps a
boarding house on Broadway, west Of the
capital square. in Frankfort, KY, states
that she saw Senator William Goebel
shot in the state house yard on Jan. 30
last. Mrs. Saffel says she was going
toward the adjutant generals office; that
Goebel had just passed her, and had
spoken to her, when she saw man, who
was slightly behind him and only few
steps from him, draw pistol and with
his left hand fire at the Senator. She
says he then ran into the state house, and
shortly afterward ran out and to the
wounded mans side.
Mrs. Saifel says she is positive this
man, whom she did not know, fired the
fatal shot. She saw the thin, white
smoke come from his revolver as he fired.
She is equally as positive that no shot or
shots were fired from the executive build
ing. She says there were two other wit
nesses, man and woman, and that the
statements of all three, which corrobo-
rate each other, have been for several
days in the hands of Gov. Taylor.

Aggie,s Race About Run.

A Washington dispatch says the War
Department believes that Aguinaldo
has escaped from the island of Luzon.
In view of the failure of our troops to
capture him, after n long and hot
chase, this is not unlikely, and it is rem
dered more probable by the collapse Of
the instruction and the hopelessness Of
the situation from an Aguinaldo point
of view. If he has escaped from Luzon
he will probably turn up soon at Hong
Kong or perhaps in some European cap
ital. His safety there would depend
upon his conduct, for the United States
would not tolerate his organizing or
fomenting a new rebellion from any
neutral territory

FOR AN ACCURATE CENSUS.
Plans for Enumeration of Absentees
from Large Cities.

Plans for Enumeration of Absentees
from Large Cities.
Gov. Merriam, director of the census,
is preparing special plans for the enumer-
alton of large cities and expects to be
able to secure returns not only of the
people in the city, but those who are abb
sent for their summer vacations in the
months when the enumeration is made.
He will appoint special agents to have
charge of districts in such cities as New
York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.
Elaborate maps have been prepared
showing every house in every street in
these cities and the enumerators by fol-
lowing these maps can ascertain the num-
Der of occupants of each house and re-
port to the special agent the houses which
Are vacant and those whose occupants are
out of the city. After these reports have
been turned in the special agents are in
structed to conduct a personal investiga
ton with regard to vacant houses so as
to ascertain whether they are permanent
ly vacant or whether the people who oc-
cupy them are absent for a time. In this
way Director Merriam hopes to secure
correct enumeration of these cities and
escape the criticism of the last census.

The utterances of Pettigrew are par
ticularly offensive and reasonable be-
cause of the patriotic action of his
State in sending regiment of volun-
teers to help put down the rebellion in
the Philippines. While these soldiers
were fighting for the flag Pettigrew en-
couraged the Filipino rebels to kill
them. South Dakota should hold Pet
tigrew responsible for every South Da-
kota soldier slain by Filipino bullet.

The south's Opportunities.

All that is needed to insure still more
rapid progress and bewildering devel-
opment in the Southern States is the
construction of the Nicaragua Canal
and the stimulation Of trade, not only
with Asia, via Nicaragua, but also with
the South and Central American repub-
lies. The building of the canal seems
assured. The stimulation of sea-going
trade will come in time if the policy of
the present administration in reference
to the merchant marine is put into
effect The South is beginning to real
ize her opportunities. 1t is too much,
however, to expect her yet to act upon
her own changed political convictions.
But even this action will come when
the value of Republican policies shall
have been demonstrated upon every
farm and in every hamlet and city of
the South in spite of Southern poll
ticians and prejudices. kansas City

Tho Kentucky Cheating.

Whatever shape events In Kentucky
may take the people of the United
States will not lose sight of the main
point. This is the Democratic attempt
ito subvert the will of voters as fully
declared at the polls. The successive
stages of tile conspiracy are clearly de-
veloped. First. majority Of Demo-
Gratis was placed on each election
board, county and State. They man
aged the polls and returns in their own
way. But the Republican plurality was
too large to be destroyed. Taylor was
inaugurated and then the plot went for
ward in the Legislature. Members
were turned out to make room for fresh
conspirators. The boarde of contest,
alleged to be drawn by lot, were some
how made Democratic by ten to one.
During the excitement attending mys-
terious murder the boards Of contest
suddenly shut out the defense, and a
fragment of the Legislature decreed
who should be Governor, going through
the operation twice, because, in their
haste, they had overlooked not only the
constitution of the State, but the in
famous Goebel law itself.
The conspirators against the dearest
rights OF an American freeman should
halt instantly. Let there be no tricks
by piece of a Legislature to 60 on with
the scheme to put in the Governors of
flee a man who received at the polls
minority of votes. Whatever a legisla-
tive junta may do, the fact remains
that an American citizen has a right
to cast one vote and have it honestly
counted. When this right is struck
down and the citizen submits to the
black crime the supremacy of the peo-
pie is at an end Assassins of Ameri-
can liberty will find that the Constitu-
ton of the United States guarantees to
each State republican form of gov
eminent. Against the final barrier the
deliberately contrived Goebel law to
cheat the will of the people will be
dashed aside, and when the ballot is re-
spected in Kentucky the dark threat of
civil war will disappears Louis

MICHIGAN MATTERS.
Farming In Upper Peninsula strange
Sounds and Manifestations in Sick
Room Missing Boy Becomes Sol
dier-Train Rolls Down a Bank.

The upper peninsula is getting to be an
agricultural center According to relia-
BILE statistics, there was an increase in the
year 1900 of nearly 500 farms. which was
two-thirds the increase for the entire
State. These farms cover over half a
million acres, of which one-third or there
abouts is improved land. A good part OF
the unimproved land is covered with
hardwood timber, which is getting more
valuable year by year, and from which
the farmers already derive good income
by cutting and selling it for stove wood.
Cutting and hauling wood TO market Is
almost the sole occupation of farmers In
the winter. The principal agricultural
counties are Menominee, Chippewa and
Delta, all of which possess farms as fine
as any to be found in lower Michigan or
Wisconsin, but there is also considera-
BILE farming territory in the mining coun-
ties. Houghton County, the copper coun'
try, has between $50 and 300 farms and
nearly 10000 acres under cultivation.
Marquette has over 300 farms, but its inn
proved acreage is smaller.

TO AMEND LIVE STOCK LAW.
Bill Regarding Shipments of Cattle In
troduced in Congress.

Representative Rodenberg Of Illinois
introduced a bill to amend the revised
statute relating to cattle shipping. The
present law provides that cattle in tran
sit cannot be confined in the cars for o
longer consecutive period than twenty.
eight hours, at the end Of which time
they must be unloaded, fed, watered,
and given rest Of at least five hours.
This law was regarded as a humane
measure when passed, but shippers now
say it is not. As most such shipments
do not require more than 40 hours con-
finement from the point of loading to the
destination, the unloading and reloading
is alleged to be worse for the cattle than
the continuous trip. Mr.. Rodenberg's
bill provides that cattle shall not be con-
fined for more than thirty-three hours in
the months of June, July, August and
September, and not more than forty hours
in the other months Of the year.

consideration of anticipatory payment
