A NOBLE LIFE.
Prinsburg, Feb. II, 1900

Prinsburg, Feb. II, 1900.
Editor TRIBUNE:
NJ ntion was made in your last issue
OF Il death of the Rev. J. H. Knott
Thi'' ling it might interest the many
friends deceased had among the readers
OF the TRIBUNE, I will give a few par
ticulars about his life.
Mr.. Knott was born in province
Groninger, Holland, in 1852. He emf
grated with his parents to the United
States in April, 1871. They settled in
Chicago, where Mr.. Knott became one
OF the early converts of the late lam
ented Mr.. Moody. After his CONVEX
sion he became a valuable assistant
to Mr.. Moody, doing missionary work
in the slums of the city. After get
ting married in Sept, 1882, he moved
to Minnesota where he settled on
farm near Clara City. But the mis-
slonary zeal was too strong in him to
be contented on farm, so he preached
the gospel at Lone Tree and Ray
mond. Afterwards in 1898 as Meth
odist preacher he spread the glad It'd
lngs OF free salvation and Saviour
willing to receive all, in Perham,
Trassee, Bluffton, and other places.
In 1896 he moved back to Prinsburg
to superintend the farm of his sister,
Mrs. Huisinga, whose husband had
died. But here also he found work,
his cherished work of saving souls.
Under his leadership the Christian
Independent Union was organized.
and we, his neighbors, can testify to
his fiery zeal and unremitting work
among us. We have lost leader and
teacher whose place we fear cannot be
filled again. AS preacher he was
fearless. He believed in and prac-
ticed practical Christianity, not
consisting merely in words and pious
cant, but an everyday Christianity,
carried into all the relations of life;
Christianity that would regenerate
society and infuse a new life into de-
generate and corrupt politics.
We earnestly believe that his life
and example have been blessing to
many, and as ''the remembrance of the
righteous is blessing,' let us fol-
low in their footsteps.
INDEPENDENT CHRISTIAN UNION.

Saltwater, Mimi. Feb. 7. 100

Saltwater, Mimi, Feb. I. 1900.
Dear SIR
At a meeting of the Board of Man
ayers held this day, the prices of
twine f. o. b. Saltwater, to farmers
or actual consumers only, were fixed
as follows:
Manila & Sisal Mixed, 124 cents per
pound; (only 100000 pounds made):
Pure Sisal. 80. 10 cents per pound.
During the season from August /,
1897 to August l, 1898, the price of
Manila hemp ranged from Al to 5
cents, and Sisal from 80 to So cents
per pound. For the year '98 to '99
about l, 100000 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
IS to Is, and the price Of Sisal, from
6 and 1-16 to u cents per pound.
For the current year, August l, 1900,
the average cost Of Sisal purchased
by US has been and 4-1O0 cents per
pound delivered at Saltwater, which
is little more than double the aver
age price of '97-'98; and the advance
IN Irvine oil has been about two hun
dred per cent. In view of these facts
the price established by the Board of
Managers barely covers the cost of
material, cost of manufacture and a
reasonable allowance for repairs and
depreciation at the plant.

Warden.

given path in the heavens without car
ing for the dogs that bay it, so does
the righteous man go on doing his
duty without caring for the opinions
of others.' We think this can be ap-
piled to our governor, because our
state has never had a better, more
honest and able governor, and never
has governor been subject to so
much abuse and SO many attacks as
the present one. And what may be
the cause? 1t is not hard to find it.
His opponents know very we'll that
his standing before the people is very
strong, and they therefore try to un-
dermine it by attacking him early and
late, with all kinds of weapons. They
know that many small worms will at
length destroy the staunchest ship.
But we hope and pray that they will
not be successful.
Rumors have been floating around
here that one of our ladies has entered
the life of double blessedness. We
wish you good luck and prosperity.

THE HALDEMAN CASE
A Mysterious Publication Regarding
 It Yesterday.

A statement was published in a Phoe- nix paper yesterday morning that Sec retary Akers had received letter from the department of justice commenting. or rather sustaining him in his action in refusing to commute the sentence of the Haldeman brothers. under sentence Of death in CochiSe county, or to grant them a reprieVe. in view of the fact that no such letter has been received by MT. Allers and that he had had no knowledge of the publication until his attention was called to the printed statement yesterday afternoon, this is one of the most curious specimens of journalism eXtant and wonder has been expressed as to who inspired it and why it was inspired by anybody. It is difficult to ina zine that anybody should try to further imperil the Hell deman brothers. who are already in great peril, by the publication of a silly lie. As a matter of fact, the case of the Haldeman brothers is not now before the department of justice; it never has been and there Is no reason to believe that 1t ever will be. It is true that when the intervention of the president was sought. application was made through MT. Easbysmith, the pardon attorney of the department. He heard only one side of the case-that of the applicant for the reprieve. That is all the department of justice knows about the Haldemans and likely ali that it will ever hear. So the depart ment could have moi means of knowing whether Secretary Akers' decision was q correct one CT not, and, beside, if by any means the question could be brought before the department and the secretary's view should be sustained
 it is highly improbable that he would be notified of the action by the depart ment. The end of the Haldeman case, whatever it may be, will be reached by less circuitous route than by a com- plimentary letter from the department of justice to a territorial official. No department of the United States or no United States official is given to pass ing compliments upon persons engaged in the administration of civil offices. Sometimes in war, compliments are bestowed upon soldiers for marked bravery. This is very transparent lie, but the motive is rather clouded.
 Attorney s. H. Hopkins of Gonzalez, Texas, who appeared for the Halde- mans in the hearing before Acting Governor Akers, is now I the city for the purpose of presenting the case to Governor Murphy.

Republican County Convention

Christy of Phoenix to con- trol the delegation to the Phoenix con- vention for Christy, who is a candidate for delegate to congress, and give Johnson the delegation to the county convention to support him for sheriff.
 Lyman Wakefield. the present sheriff. was generally supposed to represent N. O. Murphy for dele gate in his own fight to control the delegation for him . self for renomination. The two tickets were hotly contested in the election to- day and Wakefield won out by vote of almost two to one. thus assuring Governor Murphy of the Pima county delegation in case he comes out for delegate.

Galveston. Texas. Sept. 15.-The eX- as the facilities for getting away from the stricken city are increasing. Boats left here yesterday more frequently than on any day since the storm, some proceeding direct to Houston via Buff falo bayou and others making cOnnec- ton at Texas City with the Great Northern train. Among those who de- parted today were General McKibben and Lieutenants Ferguson and Perry, who were sent here by the United States government when the news of the horror was given to the world. General McKibben will communicate with the war department on his ar rival at Houston and go to San An tonic to transact official business which requires his attention. Before leaving he was solicited by the authori- ties to return, and expects to do so within the next four or five days.
 The news which was printed here this morning in the shape of a per sonal telegram from President Huntington of the Southern Pacific, that the road Is rot to abandon Gal weston. has created intense satisfac tion and has materially accelerated the movement for the reconstruction of the city.
 Dr. Blount, :ne state health officer today printed a statement showing that opprehensiOns that sickness will result from the overflow just experienced are unjustified.
 Several thousand men are at work clearing away the debris on the beach. One hundred and fifty bodies were re coverSd from ths wreckage and burned yesterday. No attempt is now being ede to identify the recovered bodies. Today most of them are found naked and mutilated beyond recognition.
 A New York train arrived last night with a number of physicians and nurses, and a large supply of provis- ions were distributed today. Every effort is being made by the postal au- tho.'ities to receive and distribute mail.

THE FOLLOWING DAY
The Democratic Situation Not Ma
 terially Simplifed.

The democratic political sky was no studied it is looking for an early inn provement of the weather. It was given out yesterday by Smith leaders that the subject of the dual nominations would be brought into count this week for the determination nf the regular candidate. Lawyers are divided as 70 the method of procedure and it is said by some that the court will be unable to afford any relief to either party There is a Nebraska court decision in a case of this kind, determining the regular candidate, but on the other hand there are Colorado, Kansas, and Michigan decisions in which it was held that both the nominees of dual conventions were entitled to places on the ticket.
 Many democrats who want peace more than revenge are already sug- gesting that both Smith and Wilson withdraw, leaving the nomination to a third man. This arrangement might easily be made if nothing were at stake beyond the ambitions of the two can Gidates. As a matter of fact Smith and Wilson came to be only incidents in the fight as it proceeded and so far as many of the leaders were concerned they were never more than incidents. Even their withdrawal would not set tie the more important issue, the con trol of the territorial organization.
 That is a matter which it will be as difficult to settle by a compromise now aA it was during the convention, and then it was impossible to settle it. It will have to be fought out and the only battle-ground in sight is the court. The case cannot very well get into court except as an adjunct of the delegate contest. and if that contest cannot be instituted the democratic party will have to run along divided for the next two years.

RETURN OF MINISTER SAMPSON
Speaks of the Delights and Drawbacks
 of Ecuador.

General A. J. Sampson of this city, United States minister to Ecuador, re- turned home yesterday morning, ac- companied hJ Mrs. Sampson. They ar rived in San Francisco on August 25 and spent three weeks there and at Los Angeles. They will leave today for Flagstaff to visit a daughter and will then go east. Minister Sampson will return to his post about November 1 and on his way will again stop in Phoenix
 General Sampson was seen last night by a Republican reporter. Dascrip- tons of Ecuador written by the gen. eral and Mrs. Sampson have already been perused by readers of The Re publican with great interest. Speaking of the country, General Sampson said the climate of Quito, the seat of gov ernment, directly on the equator, is the most delightful in the world. There is neither winter nor summer there. but a continual blending of the last days of spring and autumn. The thermometer never falls below 45 degrees above zero and never rises above so. Wheat is harvested ten months of the year and one may have roasting ears for dinner S65 days of the year. Every fruit which tempts the palate is grown in abundance. The temperate climate in that city of no latitude is an effect of it's altitude ,OOO feet. On March 21 the sun Is directly overhead, After that shadows are thrown southward until September 21, when the sun is again overhead. Then the shadows fall u the north.
 The population of Ecuador is about 2,OOOOOO, composed largely of Indians, quite different in their characteristics from the North American Indians. They are mild hammered and not cas- fly provoked to uprisings. Quito is city of S0.000, of whom not more than fifty persons speak English. It is a delightful well built city. inhabited by people of culture and refinement. Its great drawback is that it iS 300 miles from the seacOast, whose principal port is Guayaquil. There is no road to the capital over which a wheeled vehicle may travel. Everything is carried in on the backs of men, women and chil- dren, oxen, heifers. and llamas. On journey from the coast to Quito one meets thousands of these burden bear CTS laden with pianos, dynamos and the heaviest pieces Of machinery. Eight Indians are usually required for the transportation of a piano, which is set on four long poles, an Indian at each end of each pole. Many Of the passes are so narrow that the poles have to be discarded and the piano is carried along on the backs of the Indians crowded closely together. \ journey of this kind usually occupies thirty days and two shifts of bearers are required. Living is inexpensive and decidedly pleasant, but General Sampson says one would get tired of it in time, after the novelty of the life had worn away. The government is d republic, with a president, cabinet and congress. The national congress enacts legislation for the diffcrcrj states to a greater degree

than in this country. The presiden

than in this country. The president is elected for four years and is thereafter ineligible. Ecuador Is more progressive than most other South American re- publics, as is shown in the fact of the adoption of a gold standard. There is less internal dissension there than In any others there having been no successful revolution for five years. The right of suffrage is general, but as in most of the Spanish speaking countries, comparatively few avail themselves of it. The next national election will occur this month.
 The president is General ElOy A1ferO, who, with the liberal party in power Is giving the country a wise and suc- cessful government. He is a very pro- gressive official and has secured the admission of his son to the military academy at West Point. His family at the capital consists of a wife and three accomplished daughters. The Amer ican minister at Quito is held in high esteem and marked courtesy is shown him in deference to his country, which is called "The- Great Republic of the North" Minister Sampson and Mrs. Sampson were frequently entertained
  frequently entertained them in turn. On his way to the coast on his retu ri General Sampson was overtaken by a message from the president wishing him a pleasant journey. This was an act of courtesy which would not have suggested itself to the average Amer. ican.
 The surface of the resources oi
  scratched. Yet it produces two thirds of the cocoa of the world, more than half of the caOutchouc, beside many other important articles of commerce It is also niarvelously rich in gold an: silver.
 General Sampson says that less i: known of it than of Farther India, anC as matter of fact the journey to i from the United States Is longer. took him six weeks to come from Quito to San Francisco. In that time ol, could almost make a trip around tn, ! world.
