When Ln,vton Wa. Scared.

Many good stories about Gen. Lawton
have come to the surface since his
death. Maj. Putnam Bradless Strong.
was on the staff of Gen. Macarthur in
the Philippines, says Lawton confessed
to being afraid once in his life. That
was when he was riding with his ~
year-old son, Marley, past Pace GEM
etery, at Manila. 1t seems that Mon
tana detail had just buried a comrade
when California burying detail came
up: Somehow they failed to get car
tridges and asked the Montanas for
some. The latter had nothing but ball
cartridges. "Oh. they'll do" said the
California sergeant. Ready, fire!"
came the order moment later, The
bullets went whizzing over the grave
and over the stone wall, on the other
side of which was Gen. Lawton, his
head only few inches below the wall.
The bullets made a breeze as they went
past. THAT was the only time l can
remember being scared" said the gen.
cral. later. but my boy spoke up and
said: Papa. is this like being under
real fire? If il is. like it.'"-Army

THE KENTUCKY ROW,
Democrats Ratify Proceedings by
Which Goebel and Deckhnm Were
Declared in ONCE.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 21.-The demo-
cratic members of the two houses of
the legislature met in joint session at
three o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and
by vote of "a to ratified the former
proceedings by which William Goebel
was declared governor and j. C. w.
Beckham lieutenant governor, and
through which Beckham, since the
death of Gov. Goebel claims title to the
office of governor. The republican
members of the legislature remained
away from the joint session, having de-
cided in caucus not to attend. The
senate had adopted the resolutions
Monday and the house Tuesday, and
the adoption of them by the joint as
sembly from the democratic stand
point. puts the finishing touches as to
its action on the contests.
In the session of the Joint assembly
in the afternoon Senator Trplett and
Representative Order voted against
the ratification resolutions. Mr.. Order
in explanation of his vote said he had
hoped that there would be full and
fair investigation of the contests, and
that he hoped to be able to vote with
the democrats, but he could not sat-
isfy his own conscience and do so in
this matter. Mr.. Orr declined to vote.
lie said he had voted with the demo-
Gratis in their former action, and did
not think ratification of those former
proceedings necessary now. The lob
bies were crowded, and when Speaker
Trimble announced the vote in the
joint assembly there was mild out
burst of applause.
The democratic members of the leg
islature were in secret caucus Tuesday
night till after midnight. The subject
of legislative appropriation for the
capture and conviction of the assassin
or assassins of the late Gov. William
Goebel was the most important SUBJ
ject under consideration. Senator Fer
guson recently introduced bill Gre

the expenditure of a sum not exceeding

AUSTRALIAN SUGAR.
Cultivation of Cane Has Come to BE
an Important Industry in
New South Wales

The cultivation of sugar cane is
largely carried on in the northern
coastal districts of New South Wales.
where soil and climate are admirably
adapted for that purpose. The gath.
cring of the cane is picturesque
scene, hut one that has rarely engaged
the pencil of the artist. When the cane
is ready gangs of cane cutters are
found at wark in a great field or pad
dock, studded with innumerable
stumps. The cutting is performed with
curious knife, with an exceedingly
sharp edge and little hook at the
back. The cutter slashes down
stool OF cane in few vigorous strokes,
severing the stalks right flush with
the surface. Then with the hook on
the back of the knife he picks up
cane, holds it bottom upward, and
with single slash sewers the top. The
bare stalks are thrown in heap
ready to be carried to the trucks. It
is said gang of good men can each
cut, top and load about six tons of
cane day. Everything depends upon
the condition of the knife.
The sugar presses are not unlike
concertinas in construction, and at
each bulge or segment there is a tap
"a regular regiment of taps-opening
ever little gutter, from which any
juice extracted runs into the sub
slider. The residue is dark. slightly
moist mass of material called filter
press muck, which, on account of the
lime it contains in the first place and
of the organic matter, is a compare
lively useful fertilizer and source of
soil humus. The juice is taken from
the subsider to the evaporators on the
top floor. The juice, or solution. as
it is called. goes into the evaporator
at certain temperature to an appli.
ance for determining the density or
percentage of sugar, and passes
through series of four evaporators.
In each evaporation there is a sort of
window, in which the solution can be
observed boiling furiously. On emerg-
ing from the fourth and last evapora.
tor the solution has become fairly
thick sirup, and is passed up into the
vacuum pans. The sugar is removed
to funnel. through which it passes
in brownish yellow stream into bags
holding about two hundredwecht
each. Each bag is sewn up with
Irvine, each mill employing a distinc-
tive color, and shipped to the refincr-
les in Sydney, from which it finds
its way into every part of the south
ern hemisphere.-Broo Eagle.

Wrecked by nm Explosion.


Ipswich, S. D., Feb. 21.-An acetylene
gas explosion at 1880 Tuesday evening
wrecked the interior of the new opera
house at this place, which was opened
only Monday night. One man received
a badly fractured shoulder and sew
cral others were struck by the flying
debris. An acetylcne gas plant is used
for lighting the house and some unac-
count;ble leakage from this caused
the explosion. There were only about
so people in the house at the time of
the accident. and the members of the
company playing in the town were in
the dressing-rooms. The explosion
was of sufficient violence to lift the
second floor of the building four feet.

LIFEBOAT SERVICE.
some Particulars Which Show That
the Season of 1890 Was Not
Very Hard One.

The year 1899, like it's predecessors,
was an unusually fine one, months
passing without any bad weather from
lifetoat point of view. The few
gales and storms, however, which oc-
Cured at intervals provided the Fife
boats and their crews with a consider
able amount of work. What may be
considered as the heaviest gales of
the year occurred on the 18th of jan.
uary, the 3oth of September and the
1st to Cd of November. During the
first of these gales IL of the instit,l-
tons boats We're launched on serv-
ice, resulting in the saving of 80 lives
and three vessels, in addition to which
three persons We're landed from dis
tressed vessels, and several fishing
boats were assisted. While the Sep
TENDER gale was raging, 10 lifeboats
were launched and saved SO lives, be-
side which valuable assistance was
rendered to three vessels and to fish
ing boats. Some of the lifeboat men
reported that during these two gales
the wind and sea were the heaviest
they had ever experienced.
During the third gale there were 16
launches and two assemblies of crews,
is persons being saved and nine landed
from perilous positions. The long list
of gallant services by the lifeboats of
the institution resulted in the rescue
Of 494 lives, besides much valuable
property, 10 vessels having been saved
from total or partial loss. In addi-
ton, the lifeboats landed 63 persons,
some CT whom had taken refuge on
light vessels, and others coming ashore
as precautionary measure, their ves-
sells icing in danger in stormy
weather.
Great assistance was also given in
very many cases to fishing boats re-
turning from the fleets or fishing
grounds, but unable to make a har-
Dor without help from lifeboat, ow-
ing to the badness of the weather.
During the year the lifeboats were
launched 1913 times on service, besides
which the crews were assembled on
67 other occasions, when it was
thought that their services might
probably be required. Rewards were
also granted by the institution for the
saving of los lives by shore boats or
other means during the year, bringing
up the total number of lives for the
saving of which the society granted
rewards in 1899 to COZ, and to 41,s35
since 1924. The cost of maintaining
the institutions fleets of 900 lifeboats
in thorough efficiency is increasingly
heavy, and the amount received in an
nual subscriptions and accruing from
assured income is insufficient for the
purpose. Further financial help is
therefore much needed by the institu-
tion.-G]asgow Mail.

THE POPUL1sTs,
Sioux Falls, S. D., May 0-Bryan and
Caldwell May BE Their Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 21.-The next
national convention of the populist
party will be held in Sioux Falls, S.
D., on May 9. Representation is
based on the vote for Gen. j. B. Weav-
er for president in 1892, or if any can
didate for state Office has since polled
Q larger vote, that vote shall be the
basis. Two delegates at large are
given each state. This was the de-
cision reached in somewhat ex-
tended but harmonious meeting of the
fusion wing of the national commit
tee which concluded shortly after one
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The fea-
ture of the meeting was the unanim-
ity with which the members accepted
and Endorsed the declaration of Sem
ator Allen, of Nebraska, that Will
liam j. Bryan would be the candidate
OF both the populist and democratic
parties and the coupling with his
name that of Judge Henry Caldwell,
of Arkansas, as the logical and most
promising vice presidential POSSIBLE
ity. Senator Allen went so far as to
say that he had positive knowledge
that if Judge Caldwell were nominat-
ed by the populists as Mr.. Bryan's
running mate he would be acceptable
to the democrats and the fusion ma
tional ticket would be Bryan and
Caldwell. Chairman Butler, in
statement to the Associated Press at
the conclusion of the meeting said he
had no regrets for his decisions of
Monday which led to the bolt of the
dle-of-the-road men.
Washington, Feb. 21.-The name
most frequently mentioned in connec-
ton with the democratic vice presiden-
tial nomination is that of Judge H. C.
Caldwell, of Arkansas. The assertion
of Senator Allen at the meeting of the
populists' national committee in Lin
coin, Neb, that Judge Caldwell was the
choice of the populists as running
mate for Mr.. Bryan indicates a posi-
bility that the democrats and populists
may combine on both candidates at the
head Of the national ticket. Congress
man Sulzer, of New York, seems to be
the most seriously considered as pos
sibility by his colleagues of the house.
The others mentioned are Henry Treat
Paine and George Fred Williams, of
Massachusetts.
Judge Caldwell has come into promi-
nence through various antitrust de-
cisions rendered by him as presiding
judge of the Ninth United States cir
cult. His district extends from the
Canadian border TO the northern line
of Texas. and includes all the states on
the west bank of the Mississippi. He
was appointed as q republican, but an
attitude of opposition to railroads and
other corporate interests is said to
have converted him into a democrat,
His supporters believe he would be par
ticularly strong in such states as Illi-
nois and Indiana.

CAUSES GREAT FEAR.
Eruption of Colimn Volcano I'm Mex
leo Threatens Destruction of
Several Villages.

New York, Feb. 21.-Details of the
eruption of the Colima volcano on the
Pacific coast of Mexico, recently re-
ported by telegraph from Guadalajara,
Mexico, have been received in this city.
An immense river of lava ran over the
side of the volcano and threatened to
overwhelm three Indian villages near
it's base. The Indians fled to the Santa
Ana mine, in the center of Colima's
copper region, and sought safety by
hiding in the mine. leaving their wom-
en- and children to shift for themselves.
a company of Mexican troops drove
the Indians from the mine, and sent
them back to their homes to protect
their families. The government of
Mexico, from which w. j. Arkell, of
New York; Mr.. Nctherton Hall, of
Chicago, and Paul w. Horbach, of
Omaha, obtained concession of $780,
600 acres in the Colima valley, offered
to cancel the concession if the mines
were injured by the volcanoes eruption,
but the offer was declined. One of the
most serious results of the volcanic
disturbance is the entire cessation of
work on tramway now being built
to connect the copper mines with the
port of Manzanillo. The contractors
were unable to restrain the terrified
Indians employed in the construction
of the road. Many of them have gone
to Michoacan and Jalisco, and others
have fled to the more distant southern
states of the republic. One of the rea-
sons for the fright of the Mexican ma
tives is that for many years belief has
prevailed that the close of this century
would be marked by devastating floods
and earthquakes.

otlllWater, Mlnn, rep. I, 1900.
Dear Sir
At meeting of the Board OF Man
ayers, held this day, the prices OF Irvine
f. o. b. Saltwater, to farmers or actual
consumers only, were fixed as follows:
Manila and Sisal Mixed, 12H cents per
pound; (only 100000 pounds made).
Pure Sisal, 10 cents per pound.
No pure Manila has been made, and
none will be made this season.
During the season from August 1,
1897, to August 1, 1893, the price of
Manila hemp ranged from 4 1-8 to S
cents, and Sisal from 8 3-8 to S So cents
per pound. For the year 'o8 to go about
1,7oo,ooo pounds of Manila were carried
over, which cost an average of 4.35
cents per pound. The price of Manila
the same year ranged from 65-8 to
7 SIS, and the price OF Sisal from E 1-16
to 7 ga cents per pound.
For the current year, Aug. I, 1899,
to Aug /, 1900, the average cost Of
Sisal purchased by us has been o1-25
cents per pound delivered at Saltwater,
which is little more than double the
average price of 'o7-'o8; and the ad-
vance in Irvine oil has been about 200 per
cent. In view sof these facts the price
established by the Board of Managers
barely covers the cost of material, cost
Of manufacture and reasonable allow
