Election is coming near. The
political leech is already at work,
and is sticking as fast as possible
to the candidate, whose time to be
bled has again arrived. There are
few veterans who seem to be able to
hoodwink the candidates year after
year, though it is well known that
they work for anybody that will pay
them, sometimes being on the pay
roll of two or three different candi-
dates for the same office. Good
nature is something that usually
goes with candidacy for a public
place, and should these veteran
leeches show up at mostly any other
time of the year they would be boot
ed out of existence. These fellows
are usually the kind that are incap-
able of controlling any votes, and are
fortunate indeed, if they are able to
look after their own votes when
election day arrives.

That Made Ireland Famous.
Philadelphia, July 31.-The entire
east is threatened by a potato famine.
Here are few startling facts:
Potatoes, which last year at this
time sold at $l.25 a barrel, now sell
at 81, and dealers do not hesitate to
declare that the IS per bar. el mark
VIII be soon reached. The early crop.
during the unfavorable weather con-
ditions, rctted In the ground. This
happened In all the potato growing
sections. The shipments from the
South are all in. They were only half
what they were last year. The only
thing that can check the upward price
of potatoes will be the late crop, and
this is not due until September. From
all parts come the same cry of crop
failure. 1t Is waited here from the in
terror OF this state and from New Jer-
sey and Delaware. There is some
hope held out that the yield from New
York and Michigan will be satisfac-
tory, but 1t is only hope. Maryland
appears to be the only state that will
give fair crop. ~.

MURDERED A COLORED MAN.

STRANGE things are happening in Vir-
ginia.
JOHN HITCHCOCK, a white man charg-
ed with the murder of ROBERT MoAL-
LISTER, a colored man, at the almshouse.
Petersburg, Va, last June, was found
guilty on Tuesday, July 30, 1901, in the
Hastings Court and his punishment fix
ed at eighteen years in the penitentlary
HITCHCOCK and McALLIsTER were in
mates of the almshouse. The former
became jealous of the latter on account
of the fact that MCALLIsTER was atten-
tive to one of the white female inmates.
He threatened the colored mans life.
On the afternoon of June 18th, 1901,
HITCHCOCK borrowed gun to hunt rab-
bits and kept it until night.
When the aged colored man went to-
ward the gate, HITCHCOCK fired ON him,
killing him almost instantly.
When charged with the offense he
said, prove it if you can, no one saw
me shoot him"
The commonwealth was represented

both white.
The jury which was composed of
white men returned verdict in about
an hour.
This will be indeed revelation to
many people and brings to mind the
saying, Justice may sleep, but never
dies"
There are white men in Virginia who
will do their sworn duty regardless of
the environments of race prejudice.
Getting HITCHCOCK convicted is one
thing, and getting him into the peniten-
tiary is another.

Hartman Seriously Wounded German
Army officer in Sword Combat.
Duluth, Mimi, July 31-Information
was received in Duluth yesterday that
Adolph Hartman, son OF Emil Hart
man, of this city. has just fought a
duel with swords with Lieutenant
Pachmann, of the German army. It
was bloody encounter, In which the
lieutenant received a number of Sc
we're wounds, one of which severed the
jugular vein. Hartman was also Sc
riously wounded.
Hartman graduated from the Duluth
high school In 1899 and went to Achen,
Germany to take a course in mining
engineering. AT "commers," which
was attended by students, army off,
GERS and others, Hartman and Lieu
tenant Pachmann became involved In
quarrel which resulted in the Du-
luth man shaping the face OF the
lieutenant. A challenge followed, aud
the matter being referred to a court of
honor. it was decided that a duel Of
the first class must follow AS young
Hartman was unfamiliar with the
sword, he was allowed six months in
which to train" for the encounter.
In the third round the young Ameri-
can was wounded in the head. a piece
of the scalp being cut away. From the
third to the seventeenth round the
fighting was fierce. In the latter
round young Hartman again wounded
the lieutenant, his blade gashing clear
across his forehead. Although both
were weakened from loss OF blood. the
fight continued until the nineteenth
round. when the lieutenant's jugular
vein was severed.
