MONTAGUE White, the representative
of the South African republic in New

dulged in, amounts to nothing. He is
not surprised that Beers who volunta-

so they can get back to their farms;
but he has no idea that their desires
are getting the slightest consideration
at the hands of the patriots. He thinks
that DeWet, Botha and Stein will fight
it out to the last ditch.

Increases to 1000, 900.

William v. King, superintendent Of
the New York Cotton Exchange, has
given out some interesting figures
showing the remarkable growth Of the
United States as a cotton producing
country during the last century. From
a crop of 5000 bales in 1890, this nation
has expanded it's production Of the
fleecy staple until now it amounts to an
average Of 100000 bales yearly. The
following figures illustrate its growth
in this regard:

1.-THE FATE OF CHARLEY ROSS.
A New York State Senator Claims to Have
the Facts.

On Wednesday night of this week,
Senator Plunkett, Of Manhattan, intro
duced in the New York senate bill to
punish kidnapping Of children under 16
years Of age by fixing the limit of I'M
prisonment for such an offense at 25
years.
Senator Plunkitt said he had facts in
his possession concerning the abd:;c-
ton of Charlie Ross in 1874 which had
never been published. He said:
"The abductors Of Charlie Ross were
New York river thieves, Mosher and
his companions. The wagon In which
Ross was carried away was hired in
New York by Mosher and driven to
Philadelphia, so as to prevent any pos
sible discovery of the offenders.
1.-THE wagon was driven about 30
miles out Of Philadelphia, and was
there abandoned, Mosher and his COM
panions, accompanied by their victim,
taking passage on the train to New
York.
Fear kept Charlie Ross quiet. Up
on arriving in New York Ross was ta-
ken on one Of Mosher's river crafts and
finally, to prevent detection, Charlie
was thrown overheard in the bay after
being tied to iron so as to sink and
make his coming to the surface impos-
sible.
"The New Yorker who let the horse
and wagon to Mosher never claimed his
property for fear of being charged with
completely. When MJsher was shot
while attempting to rob the Van Brunt
mansion at Bay Ridge, he attempted
to explain the Charlie Ross affair, but
death came as soon as the name passed
his lips"

AN Omaha dispatch to the Washing

the senator's relations with the late
Democratic candidate for the presiden-

THE following from the Gaffney Led

fIH IOIf0"ff15 1foh11 S1'o e@e@..~1
ger, of Tuesday, is quite sensible:
It is tiresome to see in almost every
newspaper you pick up the announce
ment that it has made special ar
rangements with Mr.. w. j. Bryan to
club with The Commoner. The truth
is that the offer to club was sent to
almost every paper in the United Stat
es and the same terms were accorded
each paper. The Ledger never clubs.
It's purpose is stand or fall strictly on
it's own merits, and it lays hold Of no
mans coat tail-not ever Mr.. Bryan's.
There is nothing in this clubbing bus
mess for the local paper. 1t is simply
working for the other fellow and we
prefer to eXpend our surplus energy as
we'll as any surplus cash that may
come our way, on our own paper.

Henry 4. G0Old WithdrawS.

The withdrawal from the Republican
state ticket of Henry l.. Goold, nominee
for regent, is a credit to the gentleman's
judgment and party patriotism, reliev-
ing the party of any and all embarrass-
ment and placing himself before the
people in the proper light. Under the
circumstances placing him on the state
ticket was an error.
In connection with his withdrawal,
Mr.. Goold makes a statement which
contradicts in important points state
ments made by Elk State Treasurer
BARLEY, and which place the former in a
much more favorable light before the
people. He admits the receipt of the
money by a bank of which he was presi-
dent-claiming that it was not a per
sonal loan. Notwithstanding BARLEY
says he never received a cent of the
$1,000 back, Goold. says he holds
Bartley's receipt for $500. Further,
Goold states that of the nearly S50,0 600
liabilities of the failed bank in which he
and wife were the largest depositors at
the time of the failure and two-fifths
owners of all the stock, he has alone
paid off all but about $500, exclusive
of his and his wife's claims) and that all
depositors will eventually be paid in full.
In conclusion, Goold says, cat no
stage of my dealings with BARLEY have I
ever been conscious of a di~shonorable or
dishonest act"
MI. Goold makes no explanation of
the voting of his home county delegation
in the late state convention to forthwith
return BARLEY to the p~enitentiary.

HAS THE BURLINGTON.
Morgan-Hill-Harriman Syndicate Files
It's Papers of Possession.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Oct. 16.-(Special
| Telegram. ARTICLES of incorporation of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail
way company were filed in the county
auditors Office in this city this after
noon. The capital stock of the new
company is 500, ZOO, 900 and its object,
as set forth in the articles of incorpora-
ton, is to acquire the Burlington system
and other roads and to maintain a rail-
road in the state of Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wy
oming, South Dakota, Montana, Wis
consin and Minnesota.
The corporation began Oct. 10, 1901,
and will continue for fifty years, with
the principal place of business at Burl-
ington, Iowa.
The understanding is that the new
corporation is merely the first step to
put matters in shape for the transfer of
the property to the Morgan-HillHarri
man syndicate. According to the rumors
that are floating about here, this corpor-
alton will take charge of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad company
and the many lines leased and controlled
by the company and then transfer them
altogether to the Observation-Disclosures
syndicate.
This new corporation is legally entirely
separated from the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad company. The old
company is corporated under the laws of
the state of Illinois, while the new one is
controlled by the laws of the state of
Iowa. There is but one change in the
name of the company. The old is a rail
road company, the new is a railway
company.
The corporators, j. G. Peasley, J. M.
Dering, j. d. Council, w. w. Baldwin
and E. M. Shelton, met in Chicago,
Tuesdao, and formed the articles of in
corporation, but nothing vas given out
about the matter until this afternoon at
3 O'Clock, when the papers were filed in
the office of the county recorder. The
same papers will be filed, tomorrow, in
Office of the secretary of state at Des
Moines.
The first meeting of the in~corporators
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railway company will be held in Burl-
ington. The new incorporators will
probably meet on Saturday and elect
officers, and steps contemplated for tax
ing control of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad by the new company
may be discussed.

The Beaver City Tribune lost a sub
scriber, last week, and the only reason
the editor can give for the catastrophe is
the fact the editor on a recent occasion
nearly broke his back carrying water to
save from burning a building owned by
said subscriber in a late fire in Beaver
City. How the subscriber must have
hated that misguided editor! However,
as the editor still retains 1149 subscrib-
ers on his list he has decided to continue
the publication of his paper.

The most competent estimates of the
worlds wheat crop place the total slight
ly in excess of the previous two years.
There is little, if any prospect, however,
that this will have any substantial effect
upon prices, as the shortage in other
fo~odstuffs, particularly corn, will more
than take up this slight excess. The
American farmer is assured of a market
at good prices for all his wheat, and
Nebraska will come in for more than its
usual Share.-Bee.
