The rush to the gold fields of the WI
chita mountains has commenced in earn
est. In these mountains on the Kiowa
and Comanche Indian reservations gold,
copper and oil are found In many places,
but whether they exist in paying quanti-
ties has not been definitely established.
Until the results of certain assays are
known the rush will continue. Several
hundred persons are entering the noun
tains daily, searching for gold. while but
few are coming away again. About 0,OOO
mineral claims have been taken, with but
half that number left vacant. The re-
naming ones will not last long, hence the
rush Is growing. For three years old
miners from California and Colorado
have prospected for gold in the mountains
Of Oklahoma. What they found will new.

APPLE FAMINE At HAND.
New York Dealers Say the Situation u
Worse than They. Expected.

The apple famine which dealers have
been predicting for several months has
come. Ever since the unfavTable apple
weather in the spring buyers and growers
have expected a short crop. and now New
York dealers announce that the situation
is even worse than they feared 1t would
be. One dealer is quoted AS estimating
the crop at 23,WO.OOO barrels. against
4S,OOO.OOO last year and IO.OO.OOO the
previous year. Apples in Chicago are
selling 20 per cent higher than last year.
but the supply promises to he equal to the
demand at prevailing prices. The Cana
dian and eastern crops this year were
either failure or very light. but in the
Southwest the orchards produced well.
From Kansas and Missouri comes the
fruit that is keeping the Chicago market
supplied in spite Of the shortage n the
Michigan crop.

The abduction Of Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary, by
Turkish brigands, directed the atten.
ton Of the world upon this unfortunate
woman and her cruel and daring cap.
tors. Miss Stone Is a Boston woman,
who for years has been In the employ
Of the American Women's Board Of
Missionaries and whose devotion to her
work Is rs intense MS was that Of the
early Christians. Frequently she has
been halted by brigands and tested as
to her capacity to furnish plumber. In
one instance she explained the nature
Of her work and the fact that she had
but little available money, and was al.
lowed to continue her journey and
work. In another case, while she was
asleep In small structure, she was
aroused In the night and became con.
sciOus that hands were passed over her
features, but she was not otherwise dis.
turbed, and In the morning she found
abundant evidence that brigands had
been In the vicinity during the night.
Her most serious adventure occurred
Sept. 3, when she was halted between
Banake and Djoumania by forty bri.
gands. She was accompanied by elgh.
teen other missionaries, all Of whom
were relieved Of their valuables and
afterwhrd were released. Miss stone
was carried into the mountains and q
ransom Of $4,000 demanded by the
leader Of the brigands.

esteem. Up to within u very few years
the most deplorable outrages were com.
mitted openly and are now even done
secretly.
While the corps Of Janissaries existed
every fifth male child was forced into
the Turkish military service and young
girls were carried Off by thousands to
I'LL the harems Of their cOnquerOrs. The
naughty bearing and tyranny Of the
troops which marched to and fro In the
country so cowed the Christian popula.
ton that they became timid serfs.
Many escaped death by embracing Is.
lam ana 1t was not uncommon for par.
ents voluntarily to send their daughters
into the harems Of the Begs, or noble
men, so that they themselves might
gain protection.
Cruel as the bandits are to foreigners
they have hold on the affections of
the natives and are aided by the peas.
ant population, who shelter and protect
them. A curious state Of affairs has
resulted from this anarchy. When the
peasantry are maltreated by the Turk.
ish Begs and other officials they appeal
to the brlgands, Halduts. Kirdjalis. or
by whatever name they are known. for
protection or revenge.
In. one place young Turkish noble.
man had been guilty of the greatest
cruelty and excuses, committing out.
RACES on the wives and daughters Of
the peasantry, even capturing and sell.
ing children. He entered village on
one occasion on horseback, surrounded
by his retlnue all decked In silk and
gold. He had not gone far when a
band of Haiduts, led by Il well-knOwn
chief, sprang from hiding places, pulled
the Beg from his horse, broke his arms
and legs and struck Off his head. This
bloody trophy they put on the end Of a
spear and carried 1t In triumph Mt the
head Of the band as they marched
through the village.
| some Notorious Brigands.
| Many similar instances are still told
of brigand chiefs and their followers
leading kind of Robin Hood life In the
mountains. There are even historic
cases of brigand chiefs becoming so
formidable that the Sultan had been
obliged to take them into his service
ana recognize their authority. The
most notable instance Is that of Osman
Pasvanogla, the independent pasta, Of
Vidin. As a young man he saw his
father murdered by u Turkish official.
He then left his home and adopted a
brigand life In the mountains Of Al
bania near Bulgaria. firing Of that
he took service with the Porte at the
head of a troop of volunteers. But his
power grew so rapidly that he exer-
cised an almost independent rule, and
the formidable forces which he had at
his command rOamed about the cOun-
try fighting and plundering, so that II
was unsafe for travellers, even mission.
aries, to move about. Many vain Mt.
tempts We're made by the Porte to re.
duce him to submission. Large armies
were sent after him, but they were
driven back and defeated, and II was
not till he felt his power began to
wane that the pasta again offered hia
services to the Sultan and was accept
ed In the war with Servia.
This simply illustrates the place that
brigandage holds In the Turkish do
main.
