The Apache Marksman.

Everyone who goes to the Arizona poni-
tertiary is interested in the Calling guns
which are placed on the guard stands ar
ranged at intervals along the top of the
walls. The largest and principal gun IS
in charge of a young Mexican VINO
boasts Of his Apache blood. He is rated
as the best marksman with a eating
gun in the United States.
Gen. McCook Of the United States
army says that his manipulation Oh
the complicated weapon and his aG-
curacy Of aim are simply marvel
Gus. The young Mexican has an
excellent field for target practice over
the Gila mud fats just above the prison;
A tin can six inches in diameter placed
at a distance of 700 yards he will hit
four times out of five with the eating
gun. When it is remembered that he can
fire 500 shots a minute the possibility OF
n conyict's escape is too small to calcu-
late.
A recent test Of the workmanship or
this young Apache gunner was MADE:
From behind a stone wall 100 tin cans OF
the size Of common fruit cans were
thrown one at time haphaZard in the
air, just as clay pigeons are automatig4I-
ly thrown at shooting matches. Inc
Apache had his gun ready and had to
aim as quick as flash Mt each can, y
distance of $50 yards. He pierced -
out of the 100 before they fell behind the
stone Enclosure.

WHERE MONEY is MADE.
Ample Facilities at Our MINIS for
Turning Gold Dust IRto Coin.

In round numbers the new mint will
cost the country about $3,O0O,0O0, Of
which a little more than two millions
have been put into the building The
rest has been expended for new ma
chinery, which will nearly treble the pro-
ducing capacity of the Philadelphia mint.
A vast amount Of new coming presses
will be separately run by electricity.
There will be no chance for a general
breakdown. rs handpresses gave way
to steam about the time that the govern
ment moved into the present mint so
soon to be deserted, so steam will be dis
placed by electricity in the new building.
One Of the most interesting features Of
the new mint is the frankness with
which the government intends to take
the people into its confidence. A chain
of galleries extending through the build
ing will permit visitors to see every pro
cess of coinage from the time the metal
is received until it is the finished coin
stored away in the huge vaults. In the
present building visitors have necessarily
been somewhat restricted, although moro
than million visitors go through 1t each
year. The vast amount of precious metal
always in course of transition makes the
most watchful care necessary, and at
present excludes the public from some OF
the departments altogether In the new
mint all this will be changed.
The daily sweepings Of the mint are
suggestive of Dickens Golden Dust
man" They average $4,000 a year.
The floors in the milling room are made
Of honeycombed iron divided into small
sections, so that they can be readily TAX
en- up to save the dust. Their roughue'S
acts as a scraper and prevents any me
talIic particles from clinging % the SoIcS
of the shoes of persons passing through

THE oLEAGINEous FAK1Rs

That there is a tremendous amount of
oil in Texas and California is shown by
the enormous product of some of the
"gushers'' struck in those fields. which
Is altogether unprecedented. But the
citizen who is anxious to get rich quick
In this territory car hardly hope to sue
coed in his efforts unless he actually
buys into the territory and strikes oil,
and this he cannot expect to do on an
outlay for oil stocks selling at a few
cents a share, no matter how sure a
thing the advertisement says it is. Sane
people are not selling either gold mines
or oil gushers for a few cents on the dol
lar, and these oil company promoters
are usually pretty sane in their business
of extracting the dollar from the pock-
cts of the unwary. In fact, as the Chi
cago Chronicle put its, 'in this dizzy
race for wealth the successful sget-rich-
quick people are those who sell oil
stock, not those who buy it."
AS our contemporary says, no corpor-
alton is selling stock dn Oil enterprises
on spots of territory known to contain
oil. If a man owns lands which are
demonstrated to be rich in oil he does
n o sell stock to people who want a por-
ton Of his solid wealth. He will keep
it for himself and perhaps for private
partners who will pay full value for the
interests which they obtain in his prop
srty.
II he does sell. 1t will not be at =
price below what he thinks is its full
value. These oil companies are not

ALABAMA COKE.

Bradstreet's recites the fact that the
coke industry in Alabama has grown
even faster than coal mining. 1t was not
known until in 1876 that the Alabama
Goals would make good coke suitable for
smelling, and now Alabama ranks
third of the States of the Union as a
coke-producing State, being surpassed
only by Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia.
The coke output Of Alabama for the
calendar year 1899 was given by the
State mine inspectors as 1885, tons
This coke was used principally within
the State for iron ore smelling although
a considerable portion of it was shipped
to other States and to Mexico for
smelling and foundry purposes. The
present output does not begin to supply
the present demand. Many new ovens
are being built. The output of 1899 was
made in something over 5000 ovens.
The Alabama coke output for 1900
has been estimated at 2,150,000 tons.
Verify, the far South. is pushing hard
for first place.

MORE TARIFF TESTIMONY.

Mr.. Gustav H. Schwab, the American
for the North German Ldoyd,
who has just returned from a visit to
Europe, where he made a study OF the
new spirit of trade hostility toward
the United States and the trend toward
a European combination against our
products, in an interview, states his
conviction that this movement has at
tanned such proportions as to contain a
menace of serious consequences to the
trade of this country. He believes that
the only way to avert a disastrous blow
to American trade Is "to lower the wall
of protection, with which we have sur
rounded ourselves, and by some form
of reciprocal concessions meet these
European nations in their desire for
fair treatment"
This is a situation which brings the
tariff issue %squarely to the front as
of paramount importance. The present
tariff protects only multimillionaire
trusts In their work of plundering the
American consumer. That they don't
need any protection against European
competition in the American market
is proven by the fact that they under
sell their European competitors in all
the markets of the world , including
those right at the European factory
doors.
The United States tariff is kept up
wholly and solely to enable the protect
ed trusts to plumber the American con-
sumner, who is charged two or three
prices for the trusts wares.
The American people are beginning
to thoroughly realize this fact, and also
that not only is the. American consumer
suffering, but that the tariff barrier to
foreign trade is threatening reprisals
and retaliation on the part Of Europe
in the shape of discriminating duties on
American goods and in a European CO.
alition against American trade which
will practically make exports impos-
sible to American merchants. manufac-
turers and farmers.
The fact is growing palmer every day
that the present tariff-for-trusts-only is
an unmitigated evil to all American in
terests except those of a few multimil-
lionaire trusts that have grow fat off
the people. The question is: Whose in
terests are the more important-the tar
if barons', or those of the nation and
our foreign trade?

MCKINLEY CONFIRMS sOUTH's CON.
TENTION.

I'll IfON.
In his recent address before the Union
League Club, of San Francisco, Mr.. Nc
Kinley capped the climax of his tactful
and ingratiating utterances regarding
the South.
I'VE are" said he, mo longer a con
federacy of States, where one or more
can go out of the Union at will. We
are one i~ndissoluble union, made so in
the clash of war when Abraham Lincoln
led u.s."
1t is hardly likely that so shrewd and
careful a man as President Mckinley
did not fully appreciate the meaning of
his words. AS the st. Louis Republic
says, Southerners could ask no more.
Their contention is distinctly confirmed
by the President of the United States,
the leader of the Republican party and
a representative ex-oficer of the Union
army.
Says our Missouri contemporary: "Be-
fore the clash of arms. announces the
President, we were a ~confederacy of
States, where n or more could go out
of.the Union at will. The clash of arms,
the submission of the losing side, and
not previous constitutional agreements,
created the present situation. Decora-
ton Day is approaching. Old soldiers

friendly intercourse, since the foremost
man on the victorious side declares in
terms that there was never a question
of rebellion, but only a difference of
opinion, honorable in view of the his
tory of the matter at issue, in which the
policy best for all Americans prevailed
by force of arms. In effect the Presi-
dent says that the South was right as 10
precedents and as to the understanding
of the founders of the republic, while
the North was right on the wisdom Of
the policy of perpetual and indissoluble
union"
The Presidents utterance will please
everybody but the South haters. As the
latter constitute a considerable if not a
dominant cement in the Republican
party, it required some courage for the
PRESIDENT to make it. Though possibly
the utterance could be explained sue
cessfully as SO many other things have
been in the course of Mr.. McKinley's
political career when it came time for
MN to reverse himself. Then again
possibly Mr.. Mckinley is expecting
nothing more from his party, despite
the third term boom which Chauncey
Depew has launched.

OUR FUTURE POPULATION.

In a recent interview President James
J. Hill of the Great Northern stated
that the object of his life's work was
to develop the trade of the Northwest
with Asia. He bases his calculations
as what that trade will amount to on
his prophetic vision of our future popu-
lation:
We have multiplied more during the past
thirty-five years than during the three
hundred preceding. From the landing of
the Mayflower down to the closing of the
civil war we grew to IS, 900, 0ao, but since
1865 we have increased Il, O00,0 600. At this
rate during the next thirty years we may
grow to $50, o00, 900.
In Lippincott's Magazine Prof. Lewis
NJ. Haupt, of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, recalls that Abraham Lincoln
forty years ago predicted, upon the ba-
sis of an average past growth of 1880
per cent. in each decade, a population
of 103, 20S, AIS in 1900. The census ac-
tually found rs, 295 ,220. Prof. Haupt
proves that our population grows at
a ratio constantly decreasing, from 1858
in 1S00-1S10 to 21.S3 in 1S%90-1900. From
the average rate he derives a declining
ratio for the future. with this result:

INTERNATIONAL LIVE STOCK
EXPOSITION.

The second exposition is now all ar
ranged for. The executive committee
has not made any changes in classifi-
cation to speak of, only increasing the
classes for one Oh two breeds of DART
horses. The only changes in rules of
any moment pertain to the judges of
beef animals on foot and in the car
cass. A great deal has been aid through
the press by the able opponents of the
industry on the question of rules that
should govern such contests, and the
committee believe that the changes eff
fected will fill the bill. They are as fol-
lows:
Rule rs was changed to read as fol-
lows: Judges are instructed to pre-
fer the highet degree of excellence OBJ
ainable, considering form, finish, quaint
ity and quality of flesh and fat, also age
and weight, to recognize the very high
est quality of prime edible meat. and to
object to the production of suYrfuous
tallow; qualities that are indicated to
the touch; to the end that animals that
win prizes on foot hall ultimately be
proven first quality of beef"
Rule SO was changed as follows.
Judges of carcasses in competition are
instructed to prefer the attractiveness of
carcass, percentage of high class meat
to total carcass, quality and quantity
of flesh and fat"
Rule 76 was amended to include the
Grand Champion to be slaughtered for
carcass contest.
From interest manifested and length
of time for preparation, this EXPOSE

grandest and most comprehensive ex-
position of live stock this generation
will have the privilege of viewing. The
range men are all alive to the place
of vantage given them in the EXPOSE
ton, and their Department promises to
be spirited. The management of the
Union Stock Yards of Chicago is more
than doubling the building capacity for
the Exposition, and will have the EAR
cass contest and display on Dexter Park
grounds SO that all of the Exposition
will be together.
The breeders, recognizing that the
world will view the stock of The Expo
sition, are exerting thier nerve and
muscle to make ar exhibition that will
please and startle the universe by it's
perfection. The Agricultural Colleges
are hard at work and their FINISHED
Product" exhibit promises to be a great
feature. The Exposition is to be run
on the same broad lines as the first,
President Spoor taking the firm stand
that the Exposition shall in no sense
drift into a money making scheme, that
it must be continued as originally plan
ned, for the good of the live stock of
the continent of North America.

The decision of the Supreme Court
In the insular cases to be handed down
to-day will be interesting. According
to the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times-Herald, the court, by a
divided bench, will hold that the Con-
stitution does not follow the flag. The
uniform taxation feature of the Con-
stitution, according to the dispatch, is
to be held to apply only to the States
which united in forming the nation, and
the trainers of the Constitution had no
thought of territorial expansion. This
would seem a far fetched opinion. But
perhaps we would better wait for the
courts language.

Bear Kills Children.
Parsons Advocate.

tdTSOlS AuNoCdte-
The three little children of Edward
P. Porterfield were killed by a black
bear in the mountains twelve miles
southeast of Job, Randolph county.
The bodies were found Tuesday evening
on the mountain side, where the chill
dren apparently lost themselves before
falling into the clutches of the bear.
The children left home Monday, and
as they did not return, searching par
ties were organized to scour the coun-
try. One searching party came upon
the torn and mangled bodies half way
up the mountain.
The children had been fearfully
mangled by the bear. Their ribs were
crushed and their flesh torn. There
was some evidence that Porterield,
aged seven years. the eldest OF the
three, had made a struggle to defend
the two smaller children-Mary, aged
three, and William, aged five.
After the bodies were found, John
Weldon, a Maryland hunter, started on
the trail of the bear, hunted him down
and killed him.
