The firm of Willet & Gray, of New
York, have recently flooded the
country press throughout the Unit
ed States with circular "sugar sta
tistics," in the subject matter of
which they believe the people of
'the'country "will be interested" In
brief, they recite the fact that the
total consumption of sugar in this
country will amount to 2,2605S5
tons. OF this quantity approximate
Fly 100000 tons will come from
American sources, leaving 1,360585
tons to be imported and on which
duty will be paid. The circlar then
goes onto show how the sum of
$84 1881 ;O6O is collected in duties on
this imported sugar, and that the
price of the entire amount consum-
ed is enhanced by this tariff, which
is paid by the people unto the sug-
ar trust, which makes a net profit
of $84 ,9S1 $50 more than would &C
erue to the credit side were the tar
if eliminated.
The idea endeavored to be con-
veyed is that this tariff should be
removed in order that the people
of the United States might benefit
Immediately and directly by the re-
duction of the,cost of. that staple.
But there is another side of this
matter, evidently overlooked with
intent aforethought by Messrs.
Willet & Gray, and that is that the
tariff is referred to is furnishing
the nucleus for successful indus
try in the cane and beet sugar in
this country, and the cane and beet
sugar industry is the only known
successful opposition to the sugar
trust. The sugar trust recently in
augurated a war on the beet sugar
interests by cutting prices in the
territory of the latter to an unpre-
cedented figure, quoting terms, in
fact, at which the staple could not
be produced, and the solicitude of
Willet & Gray would indicate to one
that the firm is in the confidence of
the sugar trust, for consideration
and THAT they are not inspired pure
ly by philanthrophy in sending out
this information for the benefit of
readers of the country press. Should
the tariff on sugar be removed the

The Ely Miner states that 1--WE un-

wardens will be appointed for Ely
and vicinity to hold office during
the hunting season and violators

If this is going to be the case at
Ely, and we cannot doubt it, it
would be up to the much praised
Sam Fullerton, state game warden,
to deputize the same number for
the Mesaba. Judging from all re-
ports about the slaughter OF game
out of season 10 deputies would
find plenty to do all year round
aside from drawing salary.

Where Our Schools Fail,

The remarkable development Of the
| common schools during the past
! twenty five years is an advancement
Of which the American citizen is Just
~ proud. 1t is without a parallel
in the history Of the world; yet the
most enthusiastic friends of our com
mon school system are not blind to it's
defects.
One great defect, a defect character
istic Of the times in which we live, is
expansion at the expense of thorough
ness. An expanding curriculum is
the fad. Each new superintendent,
principal and school board must re-
wise the course; new studies are added
until the distracted pupils are lost in
a whirlpool of uncertainty. Each
year the requirements become more
exacting, and the pupils time more
and more crowding school obi
CATIONS to the wall. The boy of
fifteen swells into the proportions of
man and the Miss of the same age
entertains her beaux and graces balls
and receptions. Even a little school
entertainment is thought incomplete
unless it winds up with dance. All
these distractions dissipate time and
attention and sap vitality. If parents
would insist on the children during
the school age indulging in nothing
Incompatible with school duties and
the best health, one defect would be
remedied; but parents do not always
control their children, or at least do
not seem to.-BeUoWs Falls Times.

Stay of Proceedings for Charles Dohetry-
A stay of proceedings has been
granted in the case of Charles Doherty
who was to have been hanged at the
state prison in Windsor, March 8th,
for the murder of Fred Murphy of
Westm ore at Bolton Falls two years
ago the present winter. The evidence
was clear that Doherty shot Murphy
in cold blood with no sufficient provo
cation and while Murphy was unarm-
ed and not near enough to Doherty to
do him harm. There was no question
about the essential facts in the case,
and the jury found Doherty guilty.
Application was made to the supreme
court for a new trial on the ground of
alleged new evidence showing insan-

! to bring him down; many claim that
! he carried as many as forty bullets
! from Winchester and Marlin rifles
| in his body. Many times he was said
| to have been mortally wounded but
! he always managed to appear a few
weeks later on some other ranch,
ready for more business. Whenever
he grew tired of living upon the berries
in the mountains he would come out
and make raids upon the cattle on
the ranches near the foothills, carry
ing away the calves and often killing
some of the best COWS aud steers. He
was so we'll known that Whenever the
cowboys heard believing among
their cattle at night they said at once:
'Old Clubfoot is on the war path,
again." Some eight years ago three
expert hunters determined to capture
this grizzly and prepared themselves
with guns and knives and followed
his trail to the mountains; he could be
traced easily by the print of his NAL
formed foot. They followed him into
deep canyon in Bear Mountain,
where they came up with him; they
Immediately fired and wounded him,
when he turned upon them and all
three men were killed. 1t is said to
be the nature of the grizzly bear to
let you alone if you let him alone. He
is a good fellow in some ways and
generally minds his own business, but
has great courage, wonderful strength,
and the quickness of a cat with his
paws, and seemingly almost human
Intelligence. If you stir them up or
approach their young, then look out.
ClubfOot's disposition no doubt be-
came sOured from his fire equent con
tact with ranchmen and hunters who
sought his life. This monster bear, it
is thought, in good flesh would weigh
over two thousand pounds. His skel-
eton from tip to tip measured over
nine feet and he was thought to be
over 80 years old. Many hairbreadth
escapes from old Clubfoot are told by
the natives but for lack of time and
space [ leave them out. I have not
had the pleasure yet of seeing a bear
of any kind since [ came, still they
are her9.

VIM. NJ. Evarts died at his home in
New York last Thursday. Mr.. Evarts
was 83. Death was caused by pneu-
monia. For several years past he
had been without the use Of his eyes

unable to leave home. Up to the time

Beaman, although for many years he
had not been in active practice.
William Maxwell Evarts was born Feb.

Many Lives LO st.

The fire in the mine at tDiamondville,
Wyoming last Monday proves to have
been the worst disaster III the histo ry
of coal mining in Wyoming since the
Almy horror eight years ago. Thirty
five men are believed to have perish
ed in the fire which started in mine
No. of the Diamondvilie Coal and
Coke company. The blaze was first
discovered shortly after the night
shift commenced work. 1t is thought
to have originated from careless
miners lamp in the oil room. The
flames made such progress that only
one man escaped from the two entries
in which it was confined. His name
is John Anderson and he was fright
fully burned in running the gauntlet
of the flames.

Chih Stu, former grand secretary, and
Hsu Cheng Yu, son of the notorious
Hsu Tung, were publicly beheaded
last week. The prison where the ex-

French, German and American troops.
The condemned officials were taken
to the ground in carts escorted by a
company of Japanese infantry. Chih
Stu met his fate in dignified manner,
walking from the cart calmly and
fearlessIy. Hsu Ch6ng Yu was stupe-

passed in the senate Wednesday eve

change was made in them as they
were reported from the committees,
except by the addition Of Senator
Hoar's proviso limiting the life Of the
Philippine franchise to one year after
the establishment of permanent
civil government. Senator Teller's
amendment, proposed today, extend
ing the constitution over the Philip
pine islands, was rejected, being
opposed on both sides of the chamber.

Red Men Memorial

On last Sunday the Red Men
Tribe of Logan accompanied by
the Pocahontas observed memorial
day. In the morning at 3 O'Clock
a committee of four consisting of
w. j. Ryan, y. V Raney, j. F.
Smith and j. N. Slater exempli-
fed the devotion of the order by
driving to Sand Run to place on
the grave of their brother Jesse
Ryan, a floral tribute in memory of
his constancy to the order and his
kindness among men.
At 10 o'clock the Red Men and
Daughters ofPocahontas assembled
at the Wigwam, and escorted by

a masterful sermon on the subject
"Freedom." He told of the honor
of the Indian in his nativity, and

In the afternoon the program
was, to have Assem- bled at the
cemetery and listened to an ad-
dress by Judge o. w. H. Wright,
a member of the order, but because
of the intense heat many were
afraid to venture the march to the
cemetery, SO the address was had
in the wigwam. Judge Wright
made an able talk on the lines OF

Ruthven ElectrOcuted.

COLUMBUS, O., June 28.-Edwin
Ruthven, negro, was electrocuted
in the annex at the Ohio peni-
tentiary at 1908 a. m. The cleo
trocution was successful in every
detail.
The crime for which Ruthven,
or Rutheben, as the commitment
papers read, was electrocuted, was
the murder of Police Officer Shipp
in Cleveland on the night of May
6, 1900. Shipp and another po-
liceman, who worked with him,
discovered that the residence of a
man named Leuking was being
burglarized and they closed in on
the house. Shipp found the burg
lar in the pantry and demanded
his surrender. He responded by
firing two shots through the win
dow at the officer and both took
effect. One entered his neck and
the other his leg, the first proving
fatal.
Ruthven was originally SEN
fenced to be electrocuted on March
IL last, but was three times re-
prieved. He was 81 years of age.
Ruthven protested his innocence to
the last, declaring that neither he
nor his wife, who is now serving a
sentence for receiving stolen goods,
were guilty. But one shock was
necessary, and he was pronounced
dead in two minutes after the cur
rent was applied.
