An important act of the general
assembly is that requiring the
keeping of record and the mak-

crime, Of every person brought to
trial in his court for the year end-
ing December 1st; and in case of
his failure to make said report
within the time herein limited, he
shall forfeit to the county $40 as
a penalty for each avs delay in
making such report, to be recov-
cred by the solicitor of the circuit

MISTAKEN AGAIN.
Yorkville Enquirer.

In Tennessee turned out to he
another fellow who bears not the
slightest resemblance to the man
wanted.
Although the public is not
aware of the fact, Sheriff Logan
has received, since the escape of
Reese and Luckey, probably SO
or 100 letters from different peo
pie in different sections OF the
Union with reference to, the where
abouts of the two convicts. Often
the writer's of the letters are dead
certain that they have the right
man or men, aS the case may tie,
and sometimes they are only sus-
piciouS. The sheriff has been
making 1T a rule to investigate
every likely report, taking such
steps as might be necessary to
assure himself us to how much
foundation there might be for it.
Generally be has been able to de-
termlne on the instant that no
further attention was worth
while; but on several occasions he
has been put to considerable ex-
pense, ali of which he has to bear
out of his own pocket.
The most recent Reese capture
WAS made by man named Will.
Jams, at Cowan, Tenn. He COM
municated with Mr. w II New
bold, at Chester, and as the re-
suit of the correspondence, sent a
photograph in which Mr. Newbold
thought he could see the likeness
OF Reese. The letter seemed to
evidence more than average intel
ligence on the part of the Ten.
nessee writer. and the personal
description of the suspect made
up so completely for all the short
comlngs of the photograph, that
really there could have been ID
satisfactory settlement of the
question without a trip to Ten
nessee. This, after consulting
with Mr. Newbold and Solicitor
Henry, the sheriff decided to
make.
But 1T was not Reese. When
the sheriff got to Co~an, a it'll.
town about 60 miles from Chat
tnnooga, he found the entire
neighberbood gathered around 4
private house in which the sus-
poet was under guard. Tho out.
! standing reward for Reese is S7OO
and tho lucky capturer Of the sus
pect had been offered 5000 for
his chances. He said he would
not take $40O. But tho instant
the sheriff entered the room in
which the prisoner was confined
the price went down to two cents.
Not n second look was required to
show that the suspect did not bear
the slightest resemblance to the
man wanted.
1t seems that the man under
suspicion WAS some unfortunate
fellow who claimed to have been
raised somewhere close to the
Georgia and Tennessee line, and
who, for some reason had. years
before, left his wife and become
an outcast. When arrested he
was engaged in cutting slaves for
some contractors noar Cowan, and
being stranger, he was moro or
less nervous over his predicament.
When released he appeared glad,
and that was about all there was
of it, so far as be was concerned.
1t will be remembered that
some time back there was a re.
port of the death of Mrs Ander-
son, on whose account it was that
Reese killed Williams. Many

specting the Klondike gold strike Of
1898 was issued by the Northern Paci-

cidence that the first map folder or

comes from the same source. The
present folder not only contains a
good map of the Nome district but is
embellished with several cuts OF views
at Nome City and on the beach where
the method of mining is clearly shown.
All information obtainable regarding
sailing dates from Seattle and Taco
ma, through rates, ETC., is given IN
this book and the public cautioned to

are supplied with diagrams OF the
Alaska Steamers, and arrange in ad-
vance for their accommod ations rather
than to put off this very important
business until they reach Puget Sound:
There is no doubt but what there will
be very considerable passenger busi-
ness from the middle and eastern
states and very heavy business from
the Pacific Coast States to the Nome.

NOT ANIDLB BOAST. 1

President Kruger made no idle
boast When be said after the 6rst blow
had been struck III the South African
war, that il England should conquer
the Dutch Repu blicans 1t would be at
price that would "stsgger human
ity." Mr. Broderick, under secretary
for war, in laying the preliminary
estim ates before Parliament was
forced to talk IN an apolegetiC way.
He had to confess that toe South
African war. the cost of which ct the
Beginning, says the New Orleans
States, was reckoned as only $50,000,-
coo, had already gone beyond $780,
100000, and whereas the jolly holi-
day msrch on to Pretoria was to
have been accomplished by 10000
troops in addition to the South
African garrisons, no less than 27O,-
600 men had to take the field. Among
These the losses have b en- appalling.
Under the return "kIlled or died of
wounds" there is list OF II, 900 meu.
As "wouuded," $4,000 are reported,
while 10000 more are in hospitals in
south Africa, i'll of typhoid fever aud
other diseases.
Then there are $4,000 men who are
grouped under the head, "returned
to England, sick, wounded, or died
on passage" La short, some 10000
men killed, wounded, or disabled, in
order to give $4,000 Ou.landers a
flve-years' franchise, instead OF q
seven years'l "Have we not seen the
war fever before Z" writes Mr. Gold
win Smith. "Did we not see it at its
height at the time of the Crimusn war,
which Is now universally condemned
aud deplored2 Even swifter must
come the condemnation of the South
African war, with its sacrifices
doubly fearful because needless"
England has already paid the price
which Dom Paul mentioned al the be-
ginning OF bostilitisS, but this is not
all. She is still paying and doubt ess
wi continue to do go for months aud
perhaps years to come If there shou d
be general rebellion of the Dutch ia
Cape Colony. The war Office in Lon
don is arranging to transport large
bodies ofirregulAr mounted troops o
South Africa as reinforcsments for
General Kitchener, and OF course this
means that more money will De drain
