man, who was found dead in a hotel
in that city last Thursday, death hav-
ing resulted, it is supposed from lauda-
mum poisoning, is in the Clark county
Ind, jail on a charge of murder. In
der instructions from the war depart
ment az Washington, Rathbun, who is
a deserter from the United States army
was last evening turned over to the
Indiana authorities and taken across
the river.
In the jail at Jeffersonville last night
Rathbun was asked whether his wife
at Little Rock was implicated in the
plot to collect the insurance. After
several moments silence he replied.
mo, there was nobody in it at Little
Rock"
After making this statement Rath-
bun said that his wife knew nothing
Of any plot to commit murder or to
set fire to a hotel. Indeed" he said
mo murder was committed, for l did
not kill Goodman. 1 might have killed
him if necessary. but he died from nat
ural causes"
One of the most perpleXing features
of the case as it now presents itself to
the police is in regard to the real
identity Of the prisoner here That
he has been passing himself over the
country as Lieutenant Newell c. Rath-
bun, that he was married in Little Rock
under that name, and that he was in
sured for $4,000 appear to be certain
but the detectives are convinced that
it is an alias. and that he has never
told his real name or his real home.
Coroner Takes Testimony.
Little Rock Ark, Nov 14.-Yester-
day Coroner Young took testimony
touching the identity of the dead body
sent here as that of Rathbun Charles
McKeown, whose wife is a sister OF
Rathbun's wife. testified that he was
we'll acquainted with Rathbun He
had looked at the body, and thought
that it was undoubtedly that of Rath-
bun. Witness received the remains al
the depot Sunday morning and had
them conveyed to his house at Third
and Cross streets. When the c0ffir
was opened Rathbuns wife viewed the
remains and said That's my darling.
The first intimation he had that any
thing was wrong was when Mrs. J. c.
Watkins came to his house on Sunday
and after looking at the body said il
was not that of Rathbun.
Chris. Elkins testified that he knew
the man who was here as recruiting
sergeant, and who gave the name OF
Rathbun. lie noted some resemblance
but could not state positively whether
the body was Rathbuns or not.
William O'Conneil testified that there
might be a slight resemblance between
Rathbun and the corpse, but he wa.
positive the corpse was not that o
Rathbun.
Durand Whippe testified positively
that the dead body here was not tha
of Rathbun.
Rathbun's wife did not appear before
the coroner's jury in response to tht
summons served upon her. She hal
been in a condition of nervous prostra

Not that there is anything the
matter with your excellent State,
but somehow they like the sage
brush better.
Yesterday l drove up from
Reno. I went through 1856 miles
of country and all but five miles of
the way was lined with orchards
and hay and grain fields. Icross-
ed a hundred purling streams on
the road, encountered droves of
sheep and cattle until they retard-
ed my progress, and saw nothing
but thrift and industry and plenty
on every side. Every farmer in
this section has enough money to
keep his family in luxury and a
surplus left to play poker, buck at
faro, horse racing and California
lotteries. Can your Oregon agri-
culturists says as much for them
selves?
Sincerely yours,
SAN DAVIS.

The Most MercifuI Form.

The following from the pen OF
the late Robert G. Ingersoll con-
tains a vast amount of truth:
"ln the days of cannibalism the
strong devoured the weak-ac-
tually ate their flesh. In spite of
all laws that man has made, in
spite of the advances in science,
the heartless still live on the weak,
the unfortunate and the foolish.
True, they do not eat their flesh
or drink their blood, but they live
on their labor, their self denial,
their weakness and want. The
man who deforms himself by toll,
who labors for his wife and chill
dren through all his anxious, bar
rem, blasted life to the grave
without one luxury-has been the
food of others. He has been de-
voured by his fellowmen. The
poor woman who lives in the bare
and lonely room, cherries and
fireless, sewing night and day to
keep starvation from a child is
slowly being eaten by her fellow
men. When I take into consider
alton the agony of civilized life,
the failures, the a~nxieties, the
withered hopes, the bitter realities,
the hunger, the shame, l am al
most forced to believe that canni-
balism after all, is the most merci-
full form in which man lives upon
his fellowmen."

Foremost men in the Demo-
cratic management say that no at
tempt to formulate national issues
for the campaign of 1904 will be
encouraged for the present. They
will await the result of the cam
paigns now on in Ohio, Maryland,
Virginia and Massachusetts,. The
results in those States may de-
velop valuable data for determin-
ing the trend of Democratic senti-
ment among the masses. Another
essential preliminary is to whip
the Republicans in 1902 before
the people for the control of the
lower House of Congress. After
that will be the better time to
make up a platform that will re-
feet Democratic opinion and win
the united support of those who
are antagonistic to the Republican
program.--Ex.

On the Eve Of a
Mining Boom.

Nevada is on the eve of a min
ing revival. N Notwithstanding the
fact that she has produced up
wards of 500. 900, 900 the State is
to-day the greatest undeveloped
mining region in the world. 1t is
natural that the mining world
should imagine Nevada an ex-
hausted mineral State. The Com
stock, Phoebe. Austin, Eureka and
other camps produced immensely
a quarter Of a century ago. This
production was followed by a long
period of stagnation. The pros
pector chung to his undeveloped
mines and performed from year to
year his assessment work. The
mining world turned to Colorado,
Idaho, Utah, Alaska and Arizona.
Nevada because she could not in
terest capital lay idle and neglect
ed. Slowly a change has come
and to-day the mining world is
again turning to Nevada, the State
of mammoth bonanzas and Tono-
pah, Ely, Wedekind, Jackson
Creek, Bull Run, Searchlight, Yer
ington and Como, promise to make
Nevada a great mineral producer
nee again. Legitimate mining
enterprises could be assisted by
plenty of advertising. A mining
exchange, and mineral exhibits in
the State would materially assist
in attracting the attention OF the
mining world. Let us advertise
Neyada's resources.-Journal

The Chinese Exclusion Act will
again come before Congress next
year. The question again serious
ly confronts the west. A strong
movement is on foot in the East
to prevent its re-enactment. The
trusts and money ceDters will be
more bold in their demand for
cheap labor. The west however
will present a united opposition
and along with Chinese cheap la
Dor is an equally serious menace
japanese labor now entering into
competition with white labor. The
japanese are an initiative race and
assimilate quickly American ideas,
and will enter into higher grades
of labor competing in every line.
The question of immigration-in-
volving the introduction Of cheap
labor and the landing of the anar-
chistic element = will demand
prompt and vigorous treatment by
Congress.

MiSinfOrmatiOn
Regarding
Nevada.

notice an editorial in a recent
issue of The Telegram in which
Nevada is mentioned as almost
wholly a bowling desert
There is abundant misinforma-
ton regarding Nevada in the East,
but I am surprised to find a paper
published west of the Rockies CIV
ing space to such a statement.
Possibly you passed through
the State on the Southern Pacific
Railroad. This road in selecting
a route across Nevada, selected the
most direct and the easiest grade.
1t resulted in a road built across
the most arid portions Of the State
and the least inviting to the eye of
the traveller.
Nevada, having produced about
$700,000,000 in gold and silver,
has come to be regarded as q min
ing State. This vast output of
the precious metals has given CON-
mercial activity to every Pacific
Coast State, Oregon as we'll as CAL
ifornia. and but for these discov-
cries your own State would not be
where it is to-day.
That this output is falling of is
true, but during the past year
there has been over 81, 900 in
vested in Nevada mines. We are
somewhat like ancient Egypt-we
have our lean periods and our fat
ones, and we have passed through
the lean cnss. The output of
the Tonopah mines, in Nye
coun ty, and the new discoveries
near Reno, bid fair to give us two
more Comstocks, and you need not
be surprised to see a revival of
mining here that will again send
the blood of commercial activity
into localities as far from us az
Oregon.
But mining is by no means our
only source Of wealth. We have
several million acres of prime ag-
ricultural land, and it is produc-
ing the best grain, the best beef,
the best fruit, and the best wool
and mutton that can be found any
where. I judge this from the fact
that our beef, wool and mutton
are at a premium wherever offered
to the consumer. Our butter is in
demand in Illinois at a premium,
and taken by the carload as fast as
it comes from the creamery. Our
honey and wheat and -four and
apples and potatoes took the first
premium at Chicago at the Expo
sition. The first peaches exhibit
ted there came from Esmeralda
county, Nevada.
Government experts pronounce
our mountain water sufficiently
pure for the use of the chemical
laboratory.
How can you ship 100000
worth of fat beef cattle annually
from a State where there is moth
ing but a "howling wilderness?"
We are 80 far above the sea
level that it gives us a climate
which is the envy of every State
in the Union. 1t is dry and brac-
ing, and the records of the meteor
illogical observatory show over 800
cloudless days in the year.
You say that no people in Ore
gon want to go to Nevada to live.
Again you are mistaken, l know a
good many Webfooters living here
and after they have become accll-
mated they make excellent citi-
zens. Many of u people have
gone to your State, but the mo-
ment there is a mining excitement
here they come trooping back.
