W. S. Nelson's residence on North
F street was burglarized last week.
About 2:20 am. the family were
awakened by the smell OF burning
wool. Mr.. Nelson arose to 90 down
stairs and investigate, thinking there
was fire somewhere. As he started
down the stairs he met two burglars,
who made a hurried exit from the
house. The burglars had removed
the chimney from lamp, and, light
ing it, used a wooden Cap to shade the
light. The cap caught fire and the
smell of the burning cap awakened
the family. Nothing but a coat Of
Mr.. Nelson's was taken. Entrance to
the house was secured by removing a
loose screen. In going out OF the
house one of the burglars went
through the window and the other
went through the bath room door,
which was unlocked.

The "hOld your wheat" talk among
the wheat growers is being renewed
this year with more effect than in the
past. The time seems to be ripe for
successful cOrnering OF the wheat
market by Kansas and Oklahoma. A
prominent grain dealer in attendance
at the meeting in Wichita yes
terday, said: There is no reason on
earth why Kansas and Oklahoma can.
not control the wheat market and get
their prices. The crops are short in
all other wheat belts and if the farm
ers there will hold their wheat until
prices advance, instead of selling as
soon as it is threshed, they Can practi-
cally control. the market. Prices on
July wheat advanced 4 cents today
and It's now 81 cents. 1t has been
advancing for two weeks and it will
continue to 60 up. We grain men
estimate that Kansas will produce
99,OOOOOO bushels and Oklahoma 35..

went to Il mica mine and killed
three men in cold blood. They
were tried and convicted. .Auder
son was sentenced to hang, while
Ray was given 90 Years in the
penitentiary. While in Ashes

sentence, they were rescued and
made their way west, where Ray
died and Anderson has been living

him, but afterwards returned
home and sued for divorce.

Tillman Plies a PitChfOrk
South CarOlina's Senator Sees
ArmUr Plate in Politics.

A pecIal dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Press from Carrollton,
ILL.,, yesterday says: One of the
statements with which Senator
Benjnmin II Tillman of South
Carolina opened the campaign in
q democratic mass meeting hero
today WAS his bold assertion that
Senator Mark Hanna had raised
50, 600, or 5000, 900 from
the armor plate makers and was
using 1t in the campaign.
"Ihore are two concerns In the
country which make this srmor
plats-Carnegie and the BsthIe-
hem, " he said, "We had a con-
tract on which We had been holds
ing thom five years. We had
been keeping them down to $500
ton. This year, on the last day
of the session Of congress, Mark
Hanna took charge of it Ho
went in and ordered his henchman
to glvo orders to the Secretary of
Navy to make contract for
armor plate ut what he saw tit.
I'll swear that Mark Hanna, to
the best of my belief and know
ledge, had an agreement with those
two FIRMS to give hlm $1,000, 900
or So, 900, 200 for the presidential
campaign. "
The pitchfork senator concluded
that, in pursuance .of Lincoln 5
wartime policy, the South had
10, 900, 900 "niggers" turned
over to it t. shoot and kill, and
that now the country was get
ting 10, 900, 900 more for the
north to shoot and kill.

His remarks along this line were
as follows:
"But lastly, there is an appica-

other sphere. There are forms
of oppression and cruelty and
harsh treatment, not named muir

1t will surprise many of Senator
Tillman's acquaintance in these
parts and will certainly, as it
should, please the Senator to find
praise of him flowing from such
conservative quarters as Senator
HOar OF Massachusetts and the
Now York Evening Post. The
Massachusetts Senator and the
New York paper arc quite the
sntipodss of Senator TiIlman and
they represent a class that has u.s.
uaIly held TiIlman up as the sx-
treme type Of radicalism. 1t is
curious and interesting circum-
stance, therefore, to find these
two declaring their belief in Till,
mans honesty, ability snd-con-
servdtism.

makes reference to aud endorse
ment Of the Senator's judgment
as follows:
'One thing in Senator Hoar's
article which will surprise many
people is his tribute to Senator
TiIlman. 1t is not simply that he
considers the South Carolinlan a

blurtsd out the truth about tho
suppression of the negro vote,
and tainted the Republicans with
their inability even to protest
against it now that they are en-

Ownership of Game.

The following communication
of J r Hamilton, Esq, of { hester,
to The News and Courier, will
pr ropahlv receive pretty general
endorsement throughout this secs
ton:
1t would facilitate the protect
ION of our wild animals and birds
if, in addition to the present laws,
it were clearly defined to whom
these belong, whether to the state
or t. the landowner, in or over
whose lands the same are found.
At present the game is assumed
to he the property of the state
during the close season; but any
one 5 property during tho open
season.
Under such conditions the far.
mer who ventures to prevent the
destruction of the game and birds
of any kind on hIs land must relv
on the laws of trrspass, of post ng,
etc, dltficult to prove, to detect
and to enforce
In the game and bird life on
the land he has no part or title by
statute law and only Il qualified
right by common law.
1t will surprise some of your
readers to learn that this incGa-
sl~tcncv exists in the English
Law, while by The Scottish law the
game on the land is the absolute
property of the landowner. Asa
consequence violation of the game
laws in Scotland are comparative
ly rare, while in England they are
more frequent.
Gar statutes as to game and
other birds ar" very numerous
and scattered through the volumes
of our Revised Statutes. Some
OF these laws can he repealed
with advantage and the remainder
after being well sifted, should he
co"Soi'dated into one general law
for The whole state, keeping in
view the necessity of saving from
destruction the birds and game
now remaining on,the land.
If you make game the property
of the landowner, every farmer
will become his own game keeper,
and will soon find out the profit
there is in having good head of
game on his land, and under the
same law will be able to protect
the insectivorOus birds that pro-
tect his crops. Give the farmers y
game and birds the same protec-
tion as his property, and tho law
gives his stock and BARNARD
fowls and he will do the rest.
