the warehouse was stored with valua-
BILE freight. all Of which was consumed

known person. the ball striking him on
the back of the head. Mr.. Minter saw
the excursion train coming across the
lowered his gate. While standing
there the train passed. Several shots
were fired from the cars. and it is
thought that one OF the balls must
have struck him. After being hit he
went back in the watch box and fell
back in his seat. The Waterman at
Phillips 81 Mahoney's mill saw u train
coming. and Mr.. Minter not coming
out to close the gates called Officer
Shannon'S attention to the fact. They
went there and found Mr.. Minter in a

house and informed Lieut.. Oney of
what had happened. DR.. Jarrett was
summoned. Mr.. Minter was taken into
Phillips * Mahoney'S Office. where the
ball was probed for, but could not be
found. After stopping the flow of blood
lie was sent to his home in carriage
The Doctor thinks that the ball has
penetrated the brain. and that his
chances OF recovery are very poor on
account of his age and the heavy loss
of blood. Mr.. Ainter is about 10 years
old. and is considered an excellent cttt-

He woke him UP and told him to go to
his own room and got in bed. The boy
replied. "All right" and Mr.. Blandford
went to his room. But the boy again
fell off to sleep.
About midnight he woke up and
started for his room. Being bewildered
he stopped at his fathers door and at
tempted to turn the knob. Mr. ami
Mrs. Blandford both heard the noise
and thought 1t was some one trying to
get In Il rear window. Mr.. Blandfori
went TO see. While at the window the
boy again turned the knob. Mrs
come quickly. In the meantime she got
his pistol. The noise being repeated
Mr. Blandford fired through the door
The ball struck the boy on the top of
the head. went under the skin and then
passed out. striking the wall opposite
and rebounding back and fell at the
boys feet.
The boy as soon as he was struck
screared for help. His father and
mother at once recognized his voice
and opened the door and were very
much frightened at the sight of blood.
Mr.. Brandford Immediately went for
ton of the wound on his arrival and
not amount to much. MIR. and Mrs.

THE REPUBLICANS IN A TANGLE.

The republican party Is in a tangie.
Il grows worse daily. The Porto Rican
business gave it a very lack eye that
it can not o recover from. The per-
plexities and complications constantly
increase. and the chasm wfdens day by
day between the two wings-the folly
sid and wise side. 1t is a good thing
that the time OF assembling OF the dem
ocrats in national convention was de-
ferred. So much has lately occurred
and is still occurring that Is dangerous
to the party in power, that is Well and
wise to await further developments be-
fore calling together the democratic
clans for consultation and preparation
for the war to be waged against Han
ma n his Shiny gang of manipulators
and entrenched trusts and tariff ma
hobs. 1t is fortunate hat the post
ponent was made for the time Of as
Sembling for democrats. a Washing
ton correspondent recently sent this
to his paper in the south:
las it is now the republican party is
divided against itself. No man now
with the faintest adumbration of intel
lect will predict that the PhiladeIphia
convention will or can declare any
thing without exciting the ridicule of
the entire nation and bringing appro-
blum upon he party. What idiocy
then, for the democrats to intrude
themselves upon such a situation of de-
licious imbecility on the part of the re
publicanS and offer them a suggestion
of an issue upon which they could re-
cover some semblance of dignity and
conference"
Hanna, the leprous politician and
tool of the money kings, denies that
there is any bargain as to the repub-
lican party selling out to the trusts
in h Porto Rican matter. But no one
can attach any Importance to what a
corruptionist and monopolist of the
Hanna kline might say. The deal was
made, and it was given away by = re-
publican in the house. The trusts will
pile up millions to help to buy up vot-
ers and re-elect Mckinley, and their
tools in the congress must vote for
the tariff for Porto Rico. That is the
bargain, and it is sufficiently infa-
nous to be worthy of the corrupt re-
publican party, including the vicious.
back-sliding, false Mckinley cabinet.
Mr.. Edwards, the able WASHINGTON
correspondent of The Houston CTexas)
Post, writes:
The tariff against Porto Rico has
peen devised-no for any purpose of
S'ateS1nanSh1p-not even { establish a
precedent in the public interest, but
simply and solely to placate certain
corporations which promise to con-
tribute literally to the fund
of the republican party.

destinies to our honor and generosity.
are to be inundated on the altar of a.
mean and detestable emergency"

BRENTTIES.

General 10. Wheeler says as TO the
Philippines: Il am in favor OF terri
torial government, and 1 see nothing
incongruous in making these various
islands into territories"
e Henry Watterson has got completely
into the democratic enclosure. He
says:
The democratic party will be found
tolerably solid behind Mr.. Bryan in the
coming election. IL he can keep the
outside vote he got in 1896 he will be
elected"
The democrats need this year TO be
on the alert and to attend the prima-
ries everywhere. The National Watch
man says:
The money kings and trusts will
make sure that their friends attend the
primaries of all political parties this
year. A word to the wise is sufficient"
The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot is we'll
edited, we are pleased to see. 1t is a
sound, able democratic daily and great
success attend it says The Messenger.
Speaker Henderson wrote an abusive
letter on the republican senator's. 1t
was only a good rope to hang himself
with.
General Louis Botha is now the new
Boer commander. A sketch says of
him:
He commanded the forces that re-
pulsed Buffers aSsaults at Spion kop
and at Vaal Krantz; he gave him the
hard six-day fight about Pieters; he, by
his skill, brought the Boer army with
from Ladysmith and fortified the Big
garsberg range, where he now is in
command"
There is hard fighting ahead for Rob-
erts. The Beers will resist to the
death.

INTERESTING ENGLISH OPINION.

From London recently has come no
wal news OF special interest. There is
premature discussion, it is said, of
the government policy in South Afri-
ca when they have finished the fight
and the two Dutch republics are pros
trate at the feet of the British. The
views of Lord Salisbury. the prime
minister, are not known. He is cautious
and reticent. But the manufacturers
of tales are telling all about what he
means to do. They are divulging the
innermost secrets of the able leader.
The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune on the oath cabled:
1.-The rumor mOngers. meanwhile,
have been diSpOSing of the deStinies OF
South Africa and formulating Lord
Salisbury's scheme of pacification and
future government. They have not
stopped with this large undertaking.
but hav bravely explained in detail
his scheme for imperial federation. All
these tales are fictions. Lord Salisbury
neither ak with newspaper CORE
spondentS nor provides leader writer's
with ues he is. never in a hurry, but
broods over great questions in silence.
He is not likely to adopt a definite
scheme for the future government OF
South Africa when Lord Roberts is
making Bloemfontein the centre OF an
effective military government and is
aiming to repeat the experiment at
Pretoria When the war comes to an
there will be a long interval OF
military rule, during which political
problems can be worked out with de-
liberation"
Any one keeping tolerably up in the
British talk, as reflected in newspapers.
books, poems, correspondents n mag
azines, cannot fail to see that the idea
of a vaster and more consolidated en-
pire will come from the war. 1t has
served to unite the colonies<a as moth
ing else has, and we do not doubt,
that Great Britain is more powerful
now than ever before and because she
knows better her own strength and
feels sure of Canada, Australia and
her other outlying provinces, possibly
even including India. The correspond
emit says:
Imperial federation without doub
has received a tremendous impulse
from the war; it is no longer a vagary
of political dreamland; it has become
a question of practical imperial poll
tics. But it remains a problem or I'M
mense difficulty, to be taken un eau
tiously. Mr.. Chamberlain is the only
statesman who is completely identified
with it. He already represents the col
onies and dependencies of a world wide
empire. His constituency has been
created and is loyal to him, and its in
terests will be supreme in the future
of the British empire. Anybody who
suppose that his political influence is
impaired n that his work has ended
is laboring under a strange delusion-"
