A DOG AS a WITNESS.
Animals Testimony Convicted Its
Master of Robbery.

KIRKsvILLE, Mo-, Nov. 13.-George
Isaier was sentenced to two years in
the penitentiary for robbing James B.
Reed, a paralyzed old man living
southwest of town, on Brush Creek.
The crime occurred the It'll Of last
January. The defendant was con-
victed on the evidence OF his little
dog, which followed him to Mr.. Reed s
house. In tracking the guilty parties
Sheriff Roberts and his deputies
noticed the footprints of a small dog.
The tracks led up the creek to Isaier's
home. When the sheriff started with
his prisoner the little dog followed
them. The officer undertook to drive
it back, when Isaier said: "It's no
use. He follows me wherever / go. y
Though the defendant stoutly denied
the crime, the jury gave the dogs
testimony the greater weight and
found him guilty.
The amount stolen from old man
Reed was s19S.5O, which he and his
wife had been saving for many years
to defray their funeral expenses. Most
Of the money was recovered.

THE MYSTERIES OF DEATH

I've seen the young man in his prim,
Whose heart was strong and brave
Who trusted God with faith sublime
Go sadly to the grave.
I've seen the grim old reaper lay
The strong and lusty low,
And leave the feeble, old and gray,
To strive on earth with woe.
I've seen the rosy cheeks grow pale,
The sparkling eye to fade;
I've seen the feet that danced to fail
AS death claimed boy Or maid,
While wrinkled brows and narrowed
cheeks
Unblanched withstood the blast,
As stand the gray and snow-capped
peaks
TIL wintry storms are past.
Oft have l heard the wayward boy
Sing In his blithesome glee,
With soul that lived alone for Joy
And loves sweet witchery,
I've seen him quiver like the leaf,
When stricken by the frost.
His tender heart grow chilled by grief,
Until his Joy was lost.
80, why is death thus stranger I've
cried,
"Why must the youthful die?"
Why gapes the grave for youth so
wide,
While age goes tottering by?
Ye Gods who rule the ways OF men,
/ ask ye in all faith,
Why must the young be taken when
Old age may laugh at death?

THE LEDGER thinks 1t would be a
grand move in the right direction for
United States Senators to be elected
by the people direct A primary
election in each county in the State
on the same day, we presume, comes
as close to this as we will be able to
get, at least next year. Galloway
county has announced that it will
have Senatorial primary, referring
to which the Jefferson City Tribune
editorially says: ''The Kingdom of
Galloway has started the politicians
to thinking The Democratic Central
COMMITTEE Of that county has de-
cided to take time by the forelock in
the settlement Of the Senatorial con-
test. At meeting in Fulton the
committee decided to ask the Demo
cratic voters OF that county to expires 5
at the county primary election to be
held on August 80, 1902, their prefe r
ence for United States Senator. The
time is certainly far enough advanc ed
to give opportunity for all candidates
for Senator to be heard in Galloway
county and for the Democrats of that
county to make up their minds whom
they will support. Galloway is in
Champ Clark's Congressional district,
having been added by the last General
Assembly, and he has many friends
there. On the other hand, Governor
Stone has numerous supporters In the
Kingdom, and 1t was Galloway that
started the boom that nominated him
for Governor. Moreover, Wallace
attended Westminster College and
has relatives and friends all over the
county. The Galloway plan promises 10

altogether new, except In its applica-
tion to the United Stades Senator

sibly because there has never before

any other county committee will fol-

Frank James to 20 on the Stage


ST. LOUIS, Nov. I0.-Frank James,
the once notorious bandit and brother
of Jesse James, has announced his in
tentlon of going on the stage, and
will make his bow to the public on
November 25 in GAINESVILLE, o., in q
play entitled Across the Desert"
Since Frank James reformed he has
turned his hand TO many honest meth
ods Of making living, but up to a
few days ago declined all offers to ex-
hibit himself in public. He has been
a clerk, ticket seller, a jack-of-all-
trades, and once attempted to procure
the position Of door-keeper of the Mis-
souri, House of Representatives.
The across the Desert company
will tour Ohio and several eastern
states and Canada. James will appear
in the character of a prosperous West
erner, and, if be has his own wish, win
be given a few lines.
He will appear in a Prince Albert
coat, creased trousers and a Fedora
hat, and when the curtain goes down
in the last act he will occupy the cen
ter of the stage.
The part ! am going to play will
be inconspicuous, said James tonight.

The Tariffs Iniquity.

Champ Clark struck center shot
at the tariff system in recent speech:
"God made 1t my duty and my plea
sure to toll and delve and dig to get
money to spend on my wife and chill
dren," said Clark, land the reason /
hate the tariff system is that the
Dingley tariff bill takes iifty-seven out
Of every one hundred dollars | earn
and gives 1t to some fellow in the
East that l never saw, never expect
to see, and never want to see, for him
to spend on himself, his wife and
children"
The iniquity of the tariff system
lies just here. 1t takes from one man
to build up the business of another. 1t
requires A to work longer and harder
in order that-B may not have to work
so hard or so long. No one can proper
ly object to paying taxes to support
the government. The objection is to
paying taxes to support some other
citizen. jefferson City Tribune

MASSACRE.
Our Soldiers on samar Island Were
Separated From Their Arms and
Slaughtered by Bolomen.

VICTORIA, b. c., Nov H. Details
Of the massacre Of Co. Q, Ninth In
f1ntry at Samar, Philippine Islands,
have been received here through Lieut..
r. +. Allison, who was one of the
passengers on the steamer Empress of
China. The military commanders,
lulIed by the apparent friendliness Of
the natives, had nc thought Of an up
rising. Certain pioneer work was be-
ing done and the night before the
massacre the Village President de-
clared to Capt Connell that he need
ed 100 more native laborers. Not hay-
ing the men at hand, Capt. Connell
told the President to do the best he
could and to get any native who
would work in clearing away the I'M
derbrush. This was what the Filipinos
wanted-a chance to get together a
body Of men.
Just before dayhreak the natives
with bolos TO cut underbrush began
coming into camp. Then the massacre
began. The last underbrush man kill
ed the sentry, the church bell rang,
the soldiers went to breakfast below
the floor that held their arms; the in
surgents separated, half went upstairs
and shot down the men there and the
other half went in the mess room and
murdered the unarmed soldiers by
force Of numbers.
Not one Of the survivors turned his
back upon the scene Of carnage until
their officers had fallen, tiieii Coin
rades had been slaughtered, and a
terrible vengeance executed upon the
enemy. They then saved themselves
and their wounded men.
Connell apparently was awakened In
his quarters by the attackers pouring
In. He was alone, so he jumped from
the window, down among his guards,
but the CARDS had all been slaughter
ed. He was struck down by many
bolos almost as soon as he struck the
ground. Not satisfied with killing
him, the assassins hacked his body
into bits, severing the head upon
which they piled paper and sticks Of
wood, setting them afire to render the
face unrecognizable. The body, how
ever, was identified by Lieut.. Drouill-
ards detachment, which came down
from Basey.
Separated from their weapons most
of the rank and file fought desperately
with tables, knives, stones, clubs and
suck rude weapons as chance threw in
their way.
