BARN BURNERS.
in Fort Dodge Seems to Be
in Progress.

A well-formed plan to burn all the
barns in Fort Dodge seems to be in
progress of execution here. The work
of incendiaries is being well done and
the town is greatly excited. Eight
barns were fired within "a hours. All
OF them have been the property of
prominent people, that of Congress-
man j. P. Dolliver being the first to
be fired. The other blazes that have
been occurring in rapid succession are
those of S. I. Meservey, George Fes-
sell, w. L. Sperry, E. Z. Prussia, j. NJ.
Schaupp, All Flint and George Hop
per. All of these barns are located
in the center and most populous part
of the city. The theory is that the
work is being done by tramps, who
are taking this method of getting
even for municipal discipline. The
citizens are greatly excited and a
large force of extra police in citizens
clothes have been sworn in and will
patrol the town. Considerable prop
erty has been destroyed by the fires.

A remarkable case of parental OBJ

local police court in Burlington, where
Lawrence seibert has brought charges
against Edward Miller for breaking
and entering his house to steal his
daughters affections. The young
man had been forbidden to come to
see the girl, but did SO and was found
secreted in closet by the mother.
The young man is under $500 bond to
stand trial on the charge. The young
man and woman are devoted to each
other,

 Graham Bulletin: A. H. Bonnet of San Jose, ex-member of the board of supervisors, was before the board on Monday with a petition for a new road to Clifton. MT. Bonnet says if the county does not see fit to make the road that party of people from San Jose will build the road and maintain it as a toll road. It was claimed by MT. Bennett that this new road will shorten the distance between the valley and Clifton at least twelve miles. The length of the new road will be about twenty miles and the cost of construction is estimated at s3O0O.

 ports the discovery of big cave filled with prehistoric skeletons and pottery near San Jose de Tuces, on the Colo radO river. There is surface of twenty square feet covered with hier- Oglyphics-among them representa- tions of men, animals and reptiles.
 Star: Ranchers living near the Salt river southwest of Phoenix state that number of deer came down to that stream for water, having been driven out of the mountains by the drouth. They say that the deer are in good condition from diet of mes- quite beans, but are unusually elu- sive.
 Yuma Sentinel The two warmest days of the season were Sunday and Monday last. The thermometer reg. istered l04 and 105 degrees against l0S for the season. Dews have fallen lately and the increased humidity is accountable for the Oppresiveness of the heat. But the nights are ex- Quisite.
 Yuma Sun: O. H. Willis today un- earthed portion of the skeleton of some gigantic prehistoric animal on on his lot just above the old Catholic cemetery. The fossil, which is about ten inches in diameter and is partly petritied, was encountered about six feet from the surface, ,em beGded in the sand as though placed there by the action of water.
 Gazette: The organization of Salt River valley orange growers will bring a variety of benefits. It will not only procure wider and more profitable market for the fruit, but will adver- tise as an Arizona product superior to any other sold in the United States and will facilitate the development of orange growing industry
 Graham Bulletin: Capt. w. J. Nicholson, Indian agent at San Car los, is in Washington City, where he was called by the secretary of the in- terior for consultation concerning the wants and needs of the San Carlos Indians, with view to Detterment of their condition. Captain Nichol- son has made good agent at San Carlos and looks closely to the well fare of the Indians belonging to the agency.
 Graham Guardian: For nearly two months the Union canal has been dry from which cause thousands of dollars worth of property have been destroy ed. Yet we are informed that with small amount of labor a good irrigat- ing stream could have been turned in but which was allowed to be taken by a canal across the river. Somebody is responsible sOr this condition and the people are demanding an investi- gation..
 Cochise Review: The local rooming houses are turning away almost daily quite number of men for whom they are unable to find accommoda- tion. Thls proof of the reputation of Bisbee as a fiourishing camp where the good miner can generally find work. However extensive the mines are, and although large numbers of men may be required, still there is a limit to the capacity of the mines to employ labor, and it is very possible for so great number of men to con- gregate as to glut the labor market.

ISIS HOPKINS HomELY PHILOSOPHY

ISIS Hopkin" is only a mythical
misunderstanding to Tighten up roar
ing stage farce, but she gives forth a
bit OF homely philosophy that may be
widely applied and which epitomizes
modern human nature when she says:
"They amt no sense in doin' nuthin'
for nobody whut won't do nuthin' for
you.'
Doctrinares may talk all they want
to about the beauties of civil service re-
form; but the average American will
continue to insist upon having some
bread and meat along with his princi-
pies, and contend that they who win the
victories shall enjoy the bulk of its ben
efits. In short, "To the victors belong
the spoils," and the people have come
back to realization that this healthy
doctrine is the only plan by which a
government like ours can be success
fully oper sted. Nothing has so con-
frmed this idea as the ridiculous hum.
buggery and shameful partiality prac.
tlced in all the departments in the name
of civil service reform. isis Hopkins"
is right, and the black man in business
and politics Is making up his mind not
to do "nuthin' for nobody whut won't
do nuthin' for him."

CULTIVATE THE PIONEER SPIRIT.

The Colored American has no SYM
pathy with the notion that the race
problem can be solved by wholesale
colonization anywhere, but we unhesi-
tatins 2 advise the individual Negro
to make at once for such places as offer
a betterment of his present condition.
AS a matter of fact, the bulk of our
people are finding, and will continue to
find their best opportunities in the
South and they will remain there
growing gradually by character and
thrift into the favor of the ruling class
es. We are inclined to think however
that more of us should watch for prof
table investments in the newer coun-
tries and go out and try to march in
step with our white brethren. We are
not to go because we cannot live here
or for the mere sake of getting out of
the country; but we should encourage
the pioneer spirit, the disr osition to
blaze newer and broader pathways iuts
as other peoples do, for the purpose of
making money and securing powerful
passport to universal recognition.
The United States has Hawaii and
Porto Rico beyond doubt There is
every reason to believe that we shall
retain the Philippines and some day
acquire Cuba, Santo Domingo and
other West Indian Islands. We
should not lie asleep when the Anglo
Saxon is packing his 'fgrip" and pre-
pairing to sail for the gold coasts, the
diamond fields, the coffee and drug
groves, the cotton soils and tobacco
growing areas. There should be no
exodus, no panic, nor pulling up
stakes" but healthy shifting of our
population-some going into the rich
of the North and West and
others to our new possessions-would |
