owned by c. N. Clark, south of Conrad.
"A year or SO after MIR. Wiley came here
the neighbors had been raising a good
many hogs and there was not much
gale for them alive. We decided to
slaughter them and salt the meat and
sell 1t the next summer. Now, it would
require quite a few barrels of salt, and
some one would have to go to Dubuque
for 1t, a distance in those days of 145
miles, and 1t was worth 81 per barrel at
Dubuque MIR Wiley said he would go.
One morning early he started on his
trip. 1t was in January. He made he
trip all we'll and good until he got back
TO the creek south of Conrad. 1t had
been thawing and the creek was quite
swollen. He crossed the bridge and was
going up the hill south. The road was
quite icy. and as he had seven barrels
of salt, 1t made quite a load. The horses
fell down and broke the doubletree. and
the wagon with the salt Went into the
creek. The salt was total loss. but it

ma Governor and Gives His Reasons
for So Doing.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Thomas Fer
suson, of Watunga, Ok, was appoint
ID governor of Oklahoma. He is ed
tor of the republican paper there
md chairman of the republican ter
ritorial committee. 1t is understood
hat one of the conditions OF his ap-
,cintment was that he resign his po-
rition as head of the territorial COM
nittee. In connection with the APP
pointment of Mr.. Ferguson, President
Roosevelt made the following state
nent: "Gov. jenkins, of Oklahoma, is
hereby removed because of his inn
proper connection with a contract
between the territory and the Okla
aoma Sanitarium company. The de-
:ision is based purely upon his own
written statements and his oral ex-
plantations of them at the final hear
ing. One of the duties of the terri
toria1 governor is to enter into a
ration for the keeping of the insane
Of the territory. Gov. Jenkins made
such a contract with the Oklahoma
Sanitarium company, corporation
the promoters of which reserved $10,-
300 of it's stock for the governor and
subject to his orders. In the gov
ernor's explanation of this he told
the promoters at the time they de-
sired him to sanction the contract
that it was an important contract
and had some friends whom would
like to have interested and to whom
owed some political obligations
which I would not be able to pay
by appointment or anything of that
kind"

4 st. Joseph Thanksgiving Sermon Was
Devoted TO Gambling Houses and
Their Patrons.

st. Joseph, No., Nov. 30.-Rev. John
E. Cook, pastor of the First Baptist
church, preached a Thanksgiving ser
mon that is the talk of the town. He
bounced upon every city and county
official who in any way might be con-
nected with the vice of gambling. His
language was sensational and the pas
tor directly accused each and every
official, calling them by name. with
being personally cognizant and re-
sponsible for reopening of gambling
houses in this city. Judge B. J. Cas-
teel, of the criminal court, was pres
emit and objected to the language of
the pastor, when the latter accused
the judge of gambling. The pastor
rapidly enumerated instances where
Judge Casteel sat at a table where
cards were played for cigars, in or
binary cigar stores which he brand
ed as sinful as the games of chance
played anywhere else. Judge Casteel
is a prominent church member and at
the close of the controversy he was

ordson, of Tennessee for Speaker-Op-
position to Defining ANY Policy.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The demo-
cratic members of the house of rep
resentatives met in caucus in the hall
of the house Saturday forenoon and
at once nominated James D. Richard
son. of Tennessee. for speaker. All
the former democratic nominees for
Office also were renominated. Several
resolutions were introduced defining
the democratic policy during the
coming session and were discussed at
length. There is strong sentiment,
however, against taking any action
at this time. The resolutions were re-
ferred to a special committee to be
appointed by the chairman of the eau
Gus, Mr.. Hay, of Virginia. The caucus
then adjourned.
There are ISL democrats and eight
fusionists, silverites and populists in
the house. Of these members of the
minority 1875 were present, including
Mr.. Shafroth, of Colorado, and Mr..
Newlands, silverites. Mr.. Neville and
Mr.. Stark, populists of Nebraska, de-
clined to enter the caucus.

Gov. Wood Says Cubzns Want Their E1as

a Week,

New York, Nov. 3o.-Among the
passengers who arrived Friday from
Havana were Gen. Leonard Wood,
governor of Cuba. and Mrs. Wood.
Gen. Wood said that he would proceed
directly to Washington to report to
President Roosevelt and expected to
return in about a weeks He said
he had expressed no opinion on
the question of the annexation of
Cuba and that to do SO would be inn
polite. Matters were quiet in Cuba
and preparations were being made for
the coming election in February. "Of
course" said Gen. Wood, there are
a number of people in Cuba who de-
sire annexation, but doubt the pos
sibility of securing a canvass of opin-
ion on the question. The people of
Cuba wish to see their flag floating
over Moro castle even if it were only
for a week"

the United States has produced about

fact is the gold expectation is at

Washington, Dec. 2.-Backing for
legislation looking to the punishment
of assaults upon the presidents of the
United States or any of the members
Of his cabinet is not to come from
the majority side of the senate and
house. Senator Vest, of Missouri, one
of the most influential and conserve
tive members of the minority, has
come to Washington with renewed
health and vigor after a summer in
the west, and early in the session he
will offer a resolution calling upon
the senate judiciary committee for
information as to the legal obstacles
in the way of legislation designed to
reach anarchy. The senator proposes
that not only shall the emigration
laws of the country be amended sc
as to exclude recognized anarchists
but he wishes to devise plan by
which those who are now in the coun
try may be deported.

NEW KIND OF SLAVERY.
In Moro, Says Secretary of War Root, the
Native Sells Himself In Order to
Better His Condition.

Washington, Nov. 30.-In his report
to congress on the Philippines, Secre-
tary of War Root discussed the re-
Egious orders and slavery as follows:
cit is gratifying to report that the
efforts of the American officers to
bring about a cessation of the prac-
tice of slavery among the Moros are
not fruitless. The character of the
slavery practiced is quite unlike that
formerly practiced in the United
States in this, that the Moro slave,
SO called, becomes a member of the
owners family, enjoying many priv
ileges, often having voluntarily sold
himself into slavery to better his con-
dition. The so-called slaves themselves
exhibit no special anxiety to change
their condition. All who seek free
dom receive it upon coming into the
American lines.
