A Word to Croakcrs,

EDITOR HERALD: The other day,
while man lately from Iowa was
passing down the streets of this city,
he was stopped by a man carrying q
dinner pail, who proceeded to tell
him how poor farm was near this
city, lately bought by another Iowa
man. Now, this has happened so
often in the past few years, I wish
to ask these croakers their object.

if you only wish to injure the agent
who sells land. you do more than
that. You injure every business man
and tax payer in the county. This

supposed now to have been killed In the

Saturday. The officers are: Captain

Thomas w. Cornell, the captain OF

the Spanish war, until August 1898, then
in New York, and again in 1899 in Cuba
as aide to Gen. Douglas. He went to
China May, 1901, and thence to the phil

Caracas, Venezuela, Monday, Sept. %.
via Willemstad, Island of Curacao,
Thursday, September 26, and Via Colon,
Colombia, Sept. 30.-The condition of
Venezuela is best exemplified by the fact
that the republic has not paid interest on
its foreign or national Indebtedness for
the past thirty eight months. Only two
or three importing houses at Caracas are
paying expenses and business is practi-
cally limited to needed foodstuffs.
The war rumors have resulted in a no.
ticeable decrease Of imports and a cor
responding decrease in the collection of
duties. Consequently the Government is
getting into more severe straits to find
money to meet the extraordinary ex-
pense incident to maintaining the army
on the frontier Many people at Caracas
are suffering from lack of food and the
salaries of all the Government civil en-
ployes have been cut in half, but even
this now is not paid.
The country's discomfort at General
Castro's dictatorship is evidenced by
many comparatively insignificant events,
but they plainly foretell a growing revo-
luton.

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, Sept. 30.-A most unusual
case has been reported to the War De-
partment 1t is that of Private Peter j..
Divine troop M. Eleventh cavalry, who
was tried by general court martial at
Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, on the
charge of "using disrespectful words
against the President of the United
States in violation of the nineteenth ar
ticle of war" 1t appears from the evil
dence that when the news Of the shooting
OF the President was received at Fort
Ethan Allen, Devine expressed satisfac-
ton over the crime and applied an un-
complimentary epithet to the President.
His comrades became very much inr
censed at his language, and he was
roughly handled before he could be Sc
cured in the guard house. He was found
guilty of the charge by the court and
sentenced to be dishonorably discharged
from the service of the United States,
FORGETTING all pay and allowances due
him, and to be confined at hard labor for
one year. General Brooke approved the
sentence.

Durbin this afternoon informed the Ken
lucky officials who are here with
reuuisition from Governor Beckham, OF
Kentucky, for the return to that State
for trial of w. S. Taylor and Charles
Finley, charged with completely in the
Goebel murder. that he would not render
a formal decision for week or more.
This final answer of the Governor was in
compliance with the request of the Ken
lucky representatives that the Governor
read carefully the transcript or the
record and the briefs in the Powers
case, the briefs and decisions OF the
court OF Appeals in all the Goebel cases,
togther with the dissenting opinions or
the Judges of the Court of Appeals from
the decision of the court.
Arthur Goebel, in relating the inter-
view with Governor Durbin, said:
II asked the Governor, who was about
to deny the acquisitions, if he had read
all the evidence in the cases. He said
he had not then asked him il, after
reading the evidence he should feel the
verdicts were fair in the other cases he
would surrender Taylor and Finley, and
he did not reply. then asked him ii he
did not think it fair that he should read
this evidence before deciding and he
said he would"

reQuisitions will be refused.
