Rev. lrl r. Hicks Is Not Dead.

| Notwithstanding widely current
rumor that Rev. Irl X. Hicks was dead,
he never was in better health, and never
did harder and more successful years
work than that just closing. He has
just completed his large and splendid
Almanic tor 1902 and, with his staff of
able helpers. has brought his journal,
Word and Works, justly forward into in
ternational reputation. For a quarter
of century Mr.. Hicks has grown in
reputation and usefulness as the peoples
astronomer, and forecaster of storms
ani the charachter of coming season.
Never were his weather forecasts so
sought after as now, his timely
warning of a serious drouth
this year having saved the
people from loss and suffering Mill
ions of bushels of wheat were harvested
through his advice to plant crops that
would mature early. The American peo-
pie will certainly stand by Prof. Hicks,
when it costs them so little and the bene-
fits are so great. His fine Almanac of
200 pages is only 25c, and his splendid
family journal is only one dollar a year

That he heartily disapproved of the efforts of certain republicans In the south to exclude the negroes from participation in politics was known, so they reported the President as having stated to those in authority Tn the move rent. Moreover, l. also was stated that the President had tited his action In re- moving District Attorney Vaughan Of Alamaba. who was the head of the white republican movement in the state, as evi- dence of his attitude
 It is intimated that this attitude would be further emphasized in the appointment of his successor.
 When Bishop Walters and his asso- ciates departed they expressed them selves as completely satisfied with the Presidents attitude. and it is understood they will issue statement defining their position as well as the Presidents att titude. When they came to the White House they stated they were prepared in case of an unfavorable reply to issue an advisory statement to the colored people of the country in favor of political re- taliation upon the congressional nominees.

 coRPsES WERE NEVER BURIED.

Indianapolis. October 7-An effort was ticials of the gas belt cities in the oper- ations of the grave robbers. The ghouls have made statements in which they say the cemeteries about Anderson, Alexan- dria, Elwood, Fairmount and several oth- CT places had been robbed of hundreds of bodies. cemetery at Fairmolnt, they say, has been robbed so repeatedly that very few bo lies remain. The detectives have the names of several white men im- rlicatcd.
 Rufus Cantrell. employed as a hearse driver for a time by c. M. c. Willis, a negro undertaken, says the bodies of Dorie Snowden, Albert Tanner, Ed John sen and several other men that were sup posed to be buried in the cemetery, were taken to a medical college instead and the caskets buried with large pieces of ice in them.
 When the detectives and Cantrell vis- ited the cemetery this afternoon Harry Spears the proprietor, who this morning denied that any of the graves in the cemetery were empty, admitted that the graves of Dorie Snowen and others were empty. He said, however that the bodies had been buried in the coffins under 8 thin layer of earth and that before the grave diggers had filled up the graves the bodies had been stolen. Asked how he knew all this and why he had not re- ported 1t before, he made no reply He admitted further that many other graves in the cemetery were empty and he could tell the empty graves by little mark he had placed on them.
 The grave of Mrs. Katarna Derringer, who died six weeks ago, was opened at the German Catholic cemetery today and found to be empty.

owned by J. g. corbett. In an instant derrick adjoining the tank was enveioped in fire, and with remarkable rapidity the flames spread to other derricks in the Hogg-Swayne tract which comprises one of the largest sections of the field. The fire department and hundreds of citizens rushed to the scene, but their efforts to check the flames were unavailing. Excite ment ran high and in the confusion A rumor became current that twelve or fifteen persons hao perished in the flames. This report was telephoned to many out side towns, but careful investigation at a later hour showed that only one fatal- ity occurred. There are no gushers in the immediate vicinity of the fire, and unless a strong wind should develop, 1t is be- lieved that the damage will be confirfNd to the destruction of seventy-five derricks and twenty pumping plants.

WILL USE MERIT SYSTEM. John B. Jackson Slated for a Good
 Diplomatic Appointment.

Washington, October 7-John B. Jack son. who has been secretary of embassy at Berlin since 1894 also Is slated for an important diplomatic appointment, the purpose being to send him to one of the first desirable ministries that becomes vacant. His promotion is to be based upon the same reason as inspired that of MT. White, namely, a desire to extend in.o the diplomatic service the principle of promotion based on merit which has worked so well in other branches of the government service.
 The recent changes in American embas- sies and ministries was inspired by this same motive and it is felt that men of higher quality can be retained in the diplomatic service when 1t becomes known that the best places are to be filled by the promotion of those in the subordinate posts who show particular fitness for their work.
