FORTUNE FROM A WHIPPING
Sixty 5000 Lashes Started One M.
to Great Wealth.

There died recently in San Francisco
John Magee, one of the wealthiest resi-,
dents of that city Of millionaires, says
the New York Press. John Magees
immense fortune came originally as n
result OF logging which be received
In San Jose, Guatemala, in 1874. In
that year Nagee was British consu.
with the military commander there
one Colonel Gonzales. Gonzales threat.
ened and stormed, but Magee de6ed
him. Thereupon the colonel took Ma.
gee from his consulate, ignoring the
protection OF the British flag, and or.
dered him to he logged for his con.
tumacy. He got GO lashes on his bare
back and then was thrown iI@o prison.
A British man-of-war came steamipy
into the harbor Of San Jose, and a
wrathful man was her commander
He demanded that Magee be delivered
over to him Immediately under penalty
Of blowing the town sky high. Masee
was given up, but that did not close
the incident. Unless an apology for
the insult to the British flag was made
Immediately by the government Of
Guatemala, the flag saluted and an In,
uemnity paid to Magee the British gov
eminent threatened direful things.
Guatemala appealed to the United
States, but this country replied that
the Monroe doctrine did not protect 1T
tie Central American republics in COM
hitting such outrages as that pepe-
arated by Colonel Gonzales, and Guste-
mala was advised to comply with the
Just British demands. Thereupon the
government Of Guatemala offered TO
pay Magee 100000, $1,000 for every
lash he had received. The apology and
the salute of the British flag were also
forthcoming.
Now, this amount cannot be fNund
every day in the treasury Of Central
American republic, and while the gov
eminent of Guatemala might agree to
pay the sum the collecting Of 1t would
probably be delayed and attended with
trouble and complications. So Magee
said to the Guatemalan government
that he really could not distress it
financially by accepting such large
amount of money, but would be con
tent to call it square for certain con-
cessions which would cost 1t nothing.
Magee got the concessions at once, and
they included the right to establish a
bank in San Jose and the building OF
wharfs in that port. The government
was so grateful to him because he had
not insisted on cash that he was pro
tected in his monopoly every way, and
thus he laid the foundation of his enor.

THE democratic Lacrosse Press
thinks the Milwaukee Sentinefs
desperate fight against reforms
promised by the republican platform
and advocated by Governor LaFol-
lette, is unwittingly doing more to
accomplish those reforms than any
other newspaper in the state. In
support Of this proposition tire Press
says: "The Milwaukee Sentinel
does not appear to understand that
its opposition to primary election
legislation in this state is normally
helpful to the primary election
cause. Every word that The Senti-
mel has uttered against the proposed
change in initiative political action In
Wisconsin, has strengthened the be-
lief Of the masses OF the people
that the change is essential II they
are to hereafter have any effective
part in the conduct Of public affairs.
The genesis of the SentinePs present
policy affecting matters OF govern
ment is well understood in this state.
Nobody in Wisconsin with IA grain
of political gumption needs to be
told why the Milwaukee Sentinel,
under its present ownership, is OPP
posed to legislation designed to re-
store political power to the people.
But the wonder is that The Sentinel
should resort to misrepresentation
of the operation of primary election
laws in other states when its merely
normal opposition to legislation of
this character is sufficient to popu-
larize it.n

Sir Henry IrYIng'a Hint.

During Sir Henry Irving's recent

Venice at the Theater Royal, Belfast,
much annoyance was caused to ire
quenters of the stalls and circles by

with the result that the management

No Truth in the Report.

The Cripple Greek papers have dur

with items regarding the Canon City
& Cripple Greek toll road, and 90 SC
far as to state that if suitable ar
rangements can be made Teller coun-
ty will absorb that portion of the
road lying within that county's limits.
1t seemed that there was some ground
for the report. In a recent
conference with Mr.. W. 7. Brid-
well, one of the officers and principal
stockholders in the toll road company.
the RECORD representative was in
formed that there was not the least
shadow of truth nor foundation for
such a rumor. 1t is true the road is
not paying much of dividend, but
the company hope in the near future
to realize something for their invest
ment and hard work.
