Now that the fall election is
approaching it is in order for the

the wires of the Associated Press
warm with the reports of Nc
Kinley prosperity and the in

the near future, with the empha-
sis on the latter. It's pill that

Miss Sylvia Smith camo over
from Crested Butte to examine
the Lance outfit. with a view of
purchasing the same, in order to
start a paper which will more
truly represent the sentiments of
the people of Crested Butte and
vicinity.-Crystal Correspon-
dence in Marble City Times.
Indeed! Is the above product of
the correspondents imagination, or
did Sylvia express herself thus? 1t
is too bad that, because the PILOT
will grind no personal axes. it does
not represent the Sentiment" of
the "people of Crested Butte and
vicinity" The liberal patronage
received by the PILOT in the past
and assured us in the future shows
whether it does not represent the
sentiment of the people Of this
town. If half a dozen pseudo Re
publicans and chronic kickers are
the people" then We don't want
to represent them.

FLOATING FIELDS.
Besides Their Beauty They Are Of
Practical Use In China.


1t was DR.. MacGowan who some
years ago described the manner in
which floating fields and gardens are
formed in China. In the month Of
April bamboo raft 10 to ~ feet long
and about half as broad is prepared.
The poles are lashed together. with
interstices of an inch between each.
Over this layer Of straw an inch
thick Is spread. and then coating two
inches thick of adhesive mud Is taken
from the bottom of canal or pond
which receives the seed. The raft Is
moored to the bank in still water and
requires no further attention. The
straw soon gives way and the soil
also, the roots drawing support from
the water alone. In about 20 days the
raft becomes covered with the creeper.
and its stems and roots are gathered
for cooking In autumn its small
white petals and yellow stamrns,
nesting among the round leaves. pre-
sent very pretty appearance In
some places marshy land is protitably
cultivated in this manner.
Besides these floating vegetable gar
dens there are also floating riceflelds.
Upon RATS constructed as above reeds
and adherent mud are, placed as n
flooring SOIL which. being adhesive and
held In place by weed roots. the plants
are maintained In position throughout
the season. The rice thus planted
ripens in from 90 to 10 in place ct
100 days. The RATS are cabled TO tho
shore. tloating on lakes. pools or slug
gish streams. These floating fields
serve to avert fnmines whether hy
drought or Aood When other fields
We're submerged and their crops sod
den or rotten, these floated and -four
ished. and when n drought prevailed
they subsidized with the falling water
and, while the soil around was arid,
advanced to maturity. Agricultural
treatises contain plates representing
rows of extensive riceields moored to
sturdy trees on the banks of rivers or
lakes which existed formerly in the
lacustrine legons of the lower Yang.tse
and Yellow rivers Brooklyn Eagle.

tho libprnl offer of Mr. Barber to-
gether with contributions from other

MRS. VAN LEW
Shows the Effect Of
Prison Life.
Her Attorneys Are Playing Great
Legal Game.

Van Vert, o., Nov. 21-(Spl)-Mrs.
Van Liew rested well last night after
her hysteria of yesterday. The hear
ing of arguments on the plea in abate-
ment was begun this morning at 9:30
before Judge Mooney, who held court
until after supper time Tuesday night
in order to give place on the docket for
the Van Lew hearing The defense
has still another dilatory demurrer,
which it may file.
The court was delayed waiting for
Mrs. Van Liew to be brought over from
the jail The prisoner looks haggard.
When it became noised about town
that the arguments We're on, people
began focking in and standing room
was at a premium. Colonel Marble,
for the state, read the demurrer
and opened the arguments, holding
that the plea is not well taken as it
recites no fact that affects the rights
of Mrs. Van Liew.

Claimed That Important Evidenc g
Has Been Obtained.
Especial Correspondence

Cuyahoga Falls, Nov. 22.--This vii
| lage is much excited today over the
capture of the men, believed to be the
leading spirits in the gang of crooks,
who have been stealing goods from
railroad cars, freight houses, and in
other ways robbing the good people Of
Cuyahoga Falls. Goods have been
stolen from cars in the Falls yards for
months.
In some cases the thcfts took place
while stores and dwellings We're on
fire. The detectives expect to connect
the two facts.
Those arrested last night were G. p.
Harmon and son, Lou Harmon, and an
unknown man, who afterwards es-
capped.
1t has been demonstrated that Mr..
Harmon has at different times, har-
bored suspicious characters. The rail
road detectives, f. j. Jones of the G.
& p. road, ID. X. Fowler of the p. &
W., have been working on the cases
for Il long time. Finally suspicion
rested upon the Harmon homestead.
The detectives, with two assistants,
concealed themselves near the Harmon
homestead mt Foleys crossing south
of the Falls last night and awaited de-
velopmcnts.
freight train No. 02 pulled by from
Akron Junction. The detectives no
tlced that one of the cars was open and
after the train had passed, followed,
in the direction of the Falls on foot.
They soon came to where a number
of boxes, containing shoes, matches
and sundrIes were lying beside the
track, having evidently been thrown
from the train.
They concealed themselves nearby
and soon two men came walking hur-
riedly down the track from the direc-
tion of the Falls.swent directly to the
boxcs and carried them into Har-
mons house.
Tho detectives gained admission and
found Lou Harmon and the man who
afterwards escaped, buslly unpacking
the goods and burning the boxes to
destroy evidence. Harmon and his
companion were placed under arrest.
The stranger was placed in charge of
|
party, while the house was searched.
The elder Harmon was next arrested.
He claims to know nothing about the
matter and was not In the room when
the detectives entered the house. In
the meantime the stranger struck
Morrow a violent blow, which disabled
) him temporarily. He made his escape,
A pursuit was attempted, but owing
TO the darkness, II was unsuccessful.
The two Harmons, and the booty,
were brought to the Falls and locked
up. This morning they were given
hearing before Mayor Russell; plead,
ed not guilty and were bound over to
the grand Jury under $500 bond, in de.
fault Of which they were brought to
Akron and placed in the county jail
The booty discovered is worth from
SIS to 800, The elder Harmon denies
T all knowledge of the thefts and says
he was asleep until the detectives
Knocked at the door.
As a reason for not waking up dur
r ing the noise made in unpacking the
= stolen goods, he stated that he is a
user of morphine which he takes for
