SAL0oNkEEPERS IN JAIL,
All Serving Out Heavy Fines on Indict-
ments 10 which they Plead Guilty,

Logan Court House, w. Va, May
3. - Logan Countv's seven saloon
keepers, all il has, are in Jail serving
out fines ranging from $3.50 to $1,000.
The custom in Vogue for years Of
grand juries returning saloon-keepers
and the prosecuting attorney compro-
missing on the payment of fines for
one or two indictments and entering
nolle presses in the rest, has been
suddenly STONED.
Judge Doolittle ordered the grand
jury to make an indictment of every
offense, and told Prosecutor Wilkinson
that nothing but the payment of a $50
fine for every Indictment that promis-
ed to stand trial would be accepted.
The saloon-keepers pleaded guilty to
all indictments thus saving the costs
but they agreed that payment was
impossible, and they would clay il
ont in jail.
Sol Johnston has sixty-eight indict-
ments. but he can get out by paying
49, 600. From that they range down
TO $50 for fifteen indictments

ENGLAND FINDS THE SITUATION
IN SOUTH AFRICA SERIOUS

London. Dec. 26-The position Of
Cape Colony Is hanging In the bal
ance. According to the Morning Posts
Cape Town correspondent, everything
depends upon the quantity Of ammu-
milton In possession of the disloyal
Dutch residents, 100 OF whom have
Joined the Beers In the Philipstown
district. Energetic measures have been
taken to stem the invation, but there
Is unQuestionably danger that parties
of Beers will get through into parts Of
the colony and gradually raise the
whole cnpe in rebellion. Reinforce
ments can arrive none too soon.
Most of the dispatches from Cape
Town describe the raiders rs doing
little harm and us being rapidly en-
closed by Lord Kitchener's comblna-
ton. Lord Kitchener is In the heart
Of the disaffected districts. He has
the advantage Of being personally ac-
quainted with local conditions. Last
March he supervised the suppression
Of the rising which occurred then. He
Is bringing down thousands of troops
from the north.

spondent says the loyalists demand
that martial law shall be proclaimed
throughout Cape Colony, but adds:
"Such step is now impossible, owing
to the lack of sufficient troops to en-
force It,"
