welsh Indians In America.

Though public attention has lately
been directed to Welsh settlers in
America, the question lacks the great
interest caused in the eighteenth CEN
fury by the statement that tribe OF
Welsh Indians had been discovered.
In the seventeenth century John joss
Ign, in his Voyages to New Eng
land" mentioned that the customs Of
the inhabitants resembled those of
ancient Britons, and Sir Thomas Her.
bert, another traveller of the same
date, in his Travels gave Welsh
words in use among these Indians. A
century later reports from several ira
ders and others were received of an
Indian tribe that possessed manu-
script spoke Welsh, and retained
ceremonies of Christian worship.
Among other information then pub
lished was the report of Captain Abra-
ham Chaplain of Kentucky, that his
garrison near the Missouri had been
visited by Indians who conversed in
Welsh with some Welshmen in his
company. Those Indians were thought
to be descendants of a colony said to
have been formed by Madoc, son of
Owen Gwynedd, on his discovery OF
America in 117O

He Knew the LADY.

remarks to small man to whom he
had been introduced, 81 flatter myself

"So?" queried the small man.
Eyes. Now, there is lady" con-
tinued the professor, pointing to 200
pound specimen of the fair sex, 1.-THE
lines Of whose countenance are as
clear as print to me- The chin shows
firmness of disposition, amounting to
obstinacy; the pointed nose, vicious
temperament; the capacious mouth
volubility; the square chin, denotes
trouble for those who oppose her
wishes; the eyes show a hardness of
heart
Wonderful, truly wonderful, pro-
fessor," interrupted the small man.
"You evidently know something of
the lady them" said the professor.
Sure" replied the small man, "she
is my WIFE"

BABYLoNlAN EDlcTs DISCOVERED
Laws Laid Down by King Contemporary

laws Laio DoWn by King Contemporary
with Abraham Deciphered.
Prof Morgan, the archaeologist, has
succeeded in deciphering the laws of
King kammouradi of Babylonia, a
contemporary of Father Abraham.
The law books written on clay were
discovered by the French exploration
party digging up the ancient city of
Suza, and will be the principal at
traction at the Grand Palais to be
opened May /.
The parts of the code deciphered by
the professor deal with criminal, civil
and commercial law. Here are ex-
tracts from the fundamental laws of
the ancient Babylonian kingdom:
The man who robs a house afire
shall be thrown into the fire.
The burglar discovered in the act
has forfeited his life if he carries
weapons on his body. He shall be
buried on the spot where he entered
the house.
He who destroys fruit tree shall
be fined ten silver pieces"
He who drives another mans OK to
death shall give OK for OK"
He who Injuries an animal shall be
fined half the worth Of the animal"
"A woman inheriting house, field,
or orchard from her husband must not
be molested in her possessions, which
she shall be free to leave to her favor
lite son. Her husbands. children shall
not be entitled to fight the testament"
He who enters into contract with
out witnesses or without any instru-
ment in writing shall not be allowed
to carry his case before the courts"

Good Example Of Quibblss That Prevail
in LEGAL Practice.

Good Example Of bubbles That Prevail
in Legal Practios.
An English writer gives good ex-
ample of those bubbles in legal prac-
tice that have sort of fascination for
certain minds. Some years ago, while
travelling on the continent, he met the
principal lawyer for the government
of one of the principalities, who told
him of a curious legal question. 1t
had reference to railway station at
the boundary between two principali-
ties.
Someone standing outside the win
dow of the ticket Office had put his
hand through and robbed the till in
side. The boundary line lay between
where the thief stood and the till, so
that he was actually in one territory
While the crime was committed in an
other Here was a nice nut for the
gentlemen learned in the law to crack
Which of the principalities should un-
dertake the prosecution of the crimi.
nal?
Az 1t they went in good earnest, and
the arguments on either side were
long and vehement, till the whole case
was embalmed in many volumes. At
last one side yielded so far as to say
we will permit you, as an act of
courtesy, to prosecute, while at the
same time reserving all our sovereign
rights"
At this point of the recital l asked,
And how did the prosecution end?"
All! That is quite another mat
ter, said my friend. There was no
prosecution; we were only arranging
what we should do when we caught
the robber; but we never caught him"

A Franklin county criminal case de.

Judge Weaver on a point of law. G.
G. Jamison of the Farmers State bank
of BOWS, who conducted a stock buy.
ing business for several years. was in.
dicted with w. c. Crone, and employe,
for using false weights to defraud
customers. They were convicted and
appealed and the indictment was found
faulty. Another indictment was found
and again conviction followed, the evil
dence being that they had a small
weight which they used to make the
weight of animals bought appear less
than they were. They talked too much
and the scheme became known. The
indictment to be faulty in that it fail
ed to be specific in accusing them of
any actual fraud but rather of an in
tent to commit fraud, and also because
it charged a continuing crime. The
case has been long fought and attract
ed a great deal of attention at BOWS
where the defendants lived and We're
prominent in business.

controversy between Detective Eli
Hardin and ]. S. Connolly of this city,

state for the apprehension and con

paid the 5000 offered by the town of
Newton in the same case, and Cover

he is entitled to the $500 offered by the

TRY THE AMERICAN WAY.

Try THE AMERICAN WAY.
Jacob Schurman, formerly president
OF the Philippine commission, in an
article in the Independent, says: s
What, ask, do you want in the
Philippines? More particularly, why
In any part of Luzon and the Visayan
islands are you making a bowling
wilderness and killing children over
ten years of age? 1t will be said that
these are the unhappy incidents of
war, which is always stern affair,
very different from the holiday-mak-
Ing Into which civilians would turn
It. Be 1t SO. Why, then, are we MAX
Ing war? Here are 100000 fellow
Christians of ours-the only Christian
nation in Asia-as highly civilized as
most of the people of Central and
South America. What do we want
lof them? We have never told them.
Thank God, there is a more ex-
cellent way. Drop coercion and try
Cancellation. Give the Filipinos what
they want, not what you think is good
for them. Regard them not as Sioux
or Apache Indians, but as Christian
lied and civilized brown men, ranking
with the Japanese"
The Chicago Record Herald recently
demanded that the Moros in the Phil
ippines be conciliated; but if any re-
publican paper has insisted upon con-
Citation for the Christian Filipinos,
we have failed to observe it.
Mr.. Schurman's suggestion is direct
~ In line with~the Kansas City plat
form which promised an immediate
declaration of the nations purpose to
give Filipinos, first, stable form of
government; second, independence;
and, third, protection from outside in
terference such as has been given for
nearly century to the republics of
Central and South America
And why is not this the proper plan?
Why is it not the part of wisdom to
substitute Cancellation for brutality?
Why is it not the part which a civ
ilized people should play in their deal
-ings with their fellow beings?
American citizens who have become
restless under this policy of imperial
ism have been told to depend upon
the republican party for wise solution
Of the problem; and the Filipinos have
been asked to depend upon the gen
crosby of the republican party to give
them "all the liberty they are capable
of enjoying"
But the Filipinos want independence
and it is to the interests of this coun-
try, both in the discharge of it's duty
in the presence of the principles upon
which it was founded and in accord
ance with pratical considerations, that
this government make an explicit
pledge to the Filipinos that we will
treat them as we promised to treat the
Cubans.
Mr.. Schurman is correct when he
says there is more excellent way
of dealing with these people than I'M
der the policy which we have adopted
It is the American way; and this gov
eminent cannot hope to be relieved of
its embarrassments until it solves the
Philippine problem along American
lines, in accordance with the sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Schurman and in
harmony with the pledges made by
the democrats in the Kansas City plat

WHY NOT A FILIPINO?

In speech delivered at Havana,
President Palma said: Words cannot
express my deep feeling when l see
how united the people are for the good
Of our country. l hope they will be
forever firmly cemented, making ma
ton dignified and honorable like her
sister republic the United States, that
great, honorable nation?"
Is it not indeed regrettable that
nothing like this can come to us from
the Philippine islands?
Did we act toward the Cubans so
that they regard us as "a great, hon
orable nation" simply because we gave
them our pledge that we would be
honorable?
Or did we act as we did toward the
Cubans because such conduct was in
accordance with simple justice?
Then, why may we not act toward
the Filipinos as we acted toward the
Cubans? And why may we not make
it possible for some Filipino patriot to
arise and pay to the United States the
cordial tribute which was given by the
Cuban president-elect?
"Stop eating meat, is the cry of la
boringmen." This is the headline over
an article in a recent issue Of Chi
cago republican newspaper. During the
campaign of 1900, the columns Of the
same newspaper carried each day a
picture of a tin bucket with the plea
to vote the republican ticket and OBJ
tain flour years more of the full din
ner pail This republican paper
quotes laboring man as saying that
to stop eating meat is the only way
in which laboring men can obtain their
rights. One Of the most uninterest-
ing puzzles ever offered to the Ameri-
can working man is how to find the
meat in his "full dinner pail"
A Washington spatch to tbs Chi
cago Recold-Herald says: "Rathbone
declines pardon, being determined
to establish his innocence" How does
it happen that RathDone has declined"
a pardon? Is Senator Hanna author
ICED to- tender pardons under this ad-
ministration? Or mas Rathbone been
offered pardon in private way?
After spending few weeks. in deny
ing that Filipinos were tortured the
republican organs are now defending
the practice of torture on the ground
that the Filipinos engage in it. If a
&. o. p. organ keeps discussing a thing
long enough it invariably gets tangled
ups,with itself.
Perhaps Mr.. Root will claim vim
dication on the ground that later in
formation proves that instead of
marked severity the war in the Phil
ippines has been conducted with hor-
rible atrocities.
We helped the Cubans and then gave
them their freedom. The Filipino
helped us and we make return by sub
jugating them. Something seems to
be out of joint somewhere.
The greatest danger to the beef trust
Just now is that it will laugh itself to
death at the spectacle Of Mr.. Knox

ATTENTION. TAxPAYeRs {!

To the Taxpayers of Flagstaff
 At the special bond election to be held on December 8, 1902, in Flagstaff, Arizona, two questions are submitted to the electors. That you may clearly understand these questions, we submit the following:
 The town issued it's bonds in the sum of s95, 900 at the time the water works were constructed. The building and construction cost $109, ,403.4l. Of this amount s1O, 800 remains due and unpaid at this date. This $1O, 800 is outstanding in waterwarrants bearing 12 per cent per anHum. It is the in- tention to float wfter bonds for this amount bearing 6per cent per annum, thereby saving the town $63O.O0 year in interest.
 A sewer and drainage system is an indispensable condition in modern, progressive community. The health of our town and it's future demands that sewer and drainage system be maintained and extended as the town grows.
 The Drainage and Improvement company offers to sell the town it's plant for the sum of $9,516.45, the act ual cost of construction. The present annual income from the sewer system is approximately SlO47.5O. The inter- est at 6 per cent on the sewer bonds would be $57O.OO, leaving the town an annual surplus of $477.50. The town would have no taxes to pay, and the superintendent of the water works and town clerk could look after the system and collection of rentals without extra

TO ARRANGE FOR A TOUR.
Senate Committee to Visit Oklahoma. New Mexico and Arizona to Secure Data

A press report from Indianapolis, Indiana, says: Senator Beveridge left this city for Washington today to make arrangements for tour of the senate committee on territories through New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.
 Senator Beveridge is chairman of this committee.
 The trip is for the purpose of secur- ing data to be used in the considera- tion of the question of admitting the three territories to statehood, ques- tion which will be one of the first to be considered in the senate next session, when the omnibus statehood bill is to be reported.
 It is understood that the entire con- mittee will accompany Senator Beve- ridge on the trip, which will be ar ranged to allow of careful study of conditions in all parts of the three territories.
 Senator Beveridge could set no defi- nite date for the tour, but it will prob ably be mNde in the latter part of this month or early in December.

The town could better control the system to the decided im- provement of the sanitary condition of the town, and at the same time con- siderably increase the revenues by future extensions.
