A Remarkable Citizen.

J. k. Long, of Salado township, was in town Wednesday. Uncle Jake, " as he is familia1ly known. is one of the oldest men in the county, being nearly Il years old, and IS an ex-Confederate soldier. He enlisted in the Confederate service on the 9th of August, 1861, in Jefferson county, Tennessee un- der Capt. Tom Morgan and served through the war. He was in some of the hardest fought battles and bears a number of sears ss evi- dence of the fact that he was a good soldier. He came to Arkan- sas 69 years ago and that he has been q good citizen is evidenced by the fact that he was never arrest ed or summoned before a court. He has never been married and has served from keel boat pilot to steamboat pilot. He is the only living child out of a family of r children and is a lifelong demo- crat. He, of course, admires a fighting democrat and had his name enrolled as a reader of The Journal.

NapoleondeP.

In translation of two folk lore tales
about Napoleon, one from the French
and the other the Russian, George Ken
nan says that Napoleonder is the Rus
sian pasants name for the Emperor. 1t
Is not quite clear why he has adopted
1t. Possibly the final syllable der has
been added because, to the ear of the
peasant, Napoleon seems incomplete, as
"Alexan" would sound to us without
the der"
The point Of view of the two nation
alitles differs amazingly. The French
peasant regards Napoleon as a great
leader and conquereor, aided, if not di
rectly sent by God, to show forth the
power and glory of France.
The Russian peasant, more thought
full by nature, as well as less eXcitablC
and combative, admits that the con
queror was sent to earth by God to ii
lustrate the divine nature of sympathy
and pity through the cruelty of war
Both are convinced of his supernatural
origin. The Frenchman believes tina
he was led by guiding star. The Rus
sian argues that he was created by tn,
devil, and that God, having given hin
a soul, to punish the Russian people 70
their sins, then made him man by in
spring him with compassion.

GERMAN CLAIM NOT LARGE
DETAILS OF CUSTOM HOUSE SET
ELEMENT UNAGREED.
NOTHING KNOWN OF LOANS
German Claimants are Growing Weary
OF the Delay--Venezuela's Precarious Po-
sltion.

Berlin, Dec. 3.-The published
statement that GeImanys claims
against Venezuela amount to 5 million
dollars is incorrect. While the Ger.
man government is not yet ready to
publish the details of its demands
persons who have seen the papers say
the total is about 2 million dollars.
President Castro represents to Ger
many that Venezuela has little cred
1t abroad, that the country is just
emerging from a civil war during
which planting and industry were
partially ruined and that therefore
no matter how much Venezuela may
uesire to satisfy Immediately the
claims against her it is obviously i'm
possible.
An agreement on the subject must
provide for deferred payments. The
seizure Of the custom houses thereby
depriying the government of an i'm
portant means to administer the
country would add to the internal
distress and disorder.
While President Castro's proposals
are not disclosed there is reason to
believe that they include the emission
of bonds at a moderately higher rate
OF interest, with some sort of guar.
antee that if the interest Of the In
stallments of the principal are de-
faulted certain Venezuelan customs
houses may be taken over by Ger
many.
Nothing is known here of the plans
of Isaac N. Seligman, of New York
for floating a Venezuelan loan. He
has not approached the government
10 this matter.
There is no disposition here to pro-
coed with harsh measures toward
Venezuela If milder ones will suffice
to exact satisfaction, but the Ger
man government IS fully committed
to the intention to obtain ample sat
isfaction. The claimants are con-
stantly surging the government to
press the collection of tie amounts
due them, not only because of the
sums involved, but, it is represented,
In view of the fact that the long de-
lay has rendered the position Of Ger
many in Venezuela more and more
vexatious. Therefore it is claimed
shat the government must strike and
strike hard.

Homeless Warts Now Wealthy.

Omaha, Dec. 3.-Three North
Platte children abandoned several
years ago by their parents on account
OF poverty, are heirs to a fortune Of
$500, 900, If the story told the author

Gus appearing mine owner Of Cripple
Greek be true. The waits are located
In separate homes found for them
through adoption by the Nebraska
ChildFen's Home society. The death
of their father, William P. Hager, is
the reason they are now wealthy
The Cripple Creek man, who is in
Omaha looking up the children, has
kept his name secret, but the facts
of the case come from reputable
county officers. According to the
stranger. William p. Hager came to
Cripple Creek a year ago from North
Platte and helped him to work an
abandoned claim. Several months
ago ore was discovered. The mine
proved a bonanza after maclireIy
had been purchased and shaft sunk
to sufficient depth. Hsger. how
ever, died from an attack of pneu-
monia brought on nv work out Of
doors. A memorandum he left re-
ferred to the adoption of the children
by the Nebraska society at North
Platte, March /, 1901 The father
owned a two-ifths interest in the
mine, for which $500, 900 has been
offered.
The children will have to be found
and guardians appointed before the
Colorado courts will permit the work
ing OF the mine, and that is the rea-
son that the Cripple Creek mine
owner is so anxious to find the little
ones, who are Lille, Hattie and Fan.

The Proof of the Pudding Lies in

The doctors are dumbfounded, the

cited and joyful over the wonderful cures
and tremendous sales of the great Rem

matism-some Of many years standing
has given way to this powerful remedy.
Thousands of certificates like the follow
ing can be furnished as to its value:
George Scleyer, Publisher of the
Chiffon, Wis, "Volksbote," used st.

trated him." A few applications cured
him entirely.
Mrs. Fred Eberle, Bellaire, O., was for

The geological survey at Washington
has done timely service in issuing q re.
port by Henry Gannett upon the work
of deforestation in the State of Wash.
ington. The report shows that in nine.
teen counties of that State west of the
Cascade range 1884 square miles were
formerly covered with merchantable
timber, of which IL per cent has
been cut II per cent has been
destroyed by fire. and the remainder is
still covered with standing timber In
Mr.. Gannett's own words: 'In less than
Il generation nearly third of the tim
Der in one of the richest timber regions
of this continent has been destroyed,
and of that destruction much more than
half has been caused by fire" In other
words, nearly two years supply of tim
Der, worth in money about 100000,
has been destroyed by fire. This report
was made before the recent terribly de-
structlve fires in Washington, Oregon,
| Wyoming and Colorado, which have
added materially to the average de
struction every year. The Department
of Agriculture estimates that every
year at least $25,000,000 worth of rea
property Is destroyed, fully ten million
acres burned over, and $75,000,00C
worth of young forest growth destroy
ed. The full extent of this forest de
struction In the States named will no
be known until the bureau of forestry
makes its report, which 1t will soon do
Enough is known, however, to estab
lish the fact that in one year more dam
age has been done than can be made
good in century, If it ever can be mad,
good. Such figures as these SHOULD
make deep impression upon the publ
mind, and yet 1t is doubtful whethe

wastefulness of the American peopl
and their indifference to the destructio
of property-an Indifference which ais
extends to the destruction and in NOR
than one case to the extinction of an

done everything 1t could in the way O

alties are light, the area is too large

all, the bureau Is not backed by publ
sentiment. OF course, there will com

will remain Indifferent. If the Depar
