WOOD BURNERS ON sEABoARD
Scarcity of Coal Makes the Change
Necessary.

The Seaboard Airline Railway is up
against a coal proposition now menac-
ing the railroads of the country, and
the handsome coal burning engines OF
this road will soon be shooting smoke
and cinders from the old fashioned
stacks of the long ago. While there
is, seemingly, plenty of coal in the
company's chutes in Americus and at
all coaling places on this division, the
news comes from Portsmouth that, on
account of the miners strike and the
great scarcity of coal, orders have
been issued to the shops there to
change coal-burning engines to wood
burners as fast as possible. 1t is pre-
sumed that the wood burners will be
used exclusively on freight trains as
long as possible, but ere long, if the
strike continues. on, all engines will
have to burn wood, most expensive
and unsatisfactory fuel in these days
of rapid transit. The situation regard
ing the coal supply is alarming in the
extreme, and very soon cotton facto-
ries, mills and all industries employ
ing fuel may have to close down.

Hide Sick in Caves and Deprive
Them of Food and Drink.

A new sect having the most remark
able tenets is making striking progress
among the ignorant Russian peasant
ry in the valley of the middle Volga,
writes the St. Petersburg correspond
emit of the New York World. They
call themselves Podpolnikl, or "Dwell-
ers Under the Earth"
They bind themselves to care for all
tugitives from justice, vagabonds, de-
serters from the army and other miser-
able beings, whom they hide away in
clefts or holes in rocks.
Those among their own people who
fall sick are treated in the same way,
but are left without food or drink of
any kind. Every two or three days
they visit the sick. Should any be
dead they are buried secretly, but not
before the corpses are baptized and
received new name in order that the
soul may appear spotless before the
throne of heaven.

and the representatives Of the twenty
odd sovereign states of Germany with
out whose consent no war can be de
clared, by the German parliament, pub
lie opinion-yea, by the press.
ANY one familiar with the literature
of German politics. and especially the
interesting Bismarck literature, cannot
fail to be impressed by the extraor'
binary Importance Bismarck himself
attached to the power of the press as
an indispensable agency in the shaping
of public opinion. He may have de-
spised the press as sometimes exceed
ingly inconvenient and disagreeable to
hfS plans, but all the lives of Bis
marck, whether that Of Busch or Bu-
cher or Low or Poschinger or Kendell
or his own memoirs. show an incessant
activity on his part to dictate, inspire,
prompt and revise political editorials
of the country. Now, the press of Ger
many is intelligent, moderate. conserv-
ative and careful of its responsible
ties. 1t certainly is more conscientious
and far less lingo than some OF our
own sensational senator's and lingo
journalists. We venture to assert that
If any person. politician or newspaper
in Germany were to talk of war with
the United States he would be regarded
as contemplate, unpatriotic, suspected
of unsoundness of mind and accused of
being an enemy of his own country.
"-'nernr himself is a man of
ideas. He wants friends not foes.
His request to the president to allow
Miss Roosevelt to christen his yacht
was more than an ordinary interna-
tional courtesy. 1t was a most signif-
icant political peace Offering. In max
ing that request and in sending his
only brother, Prince Henry, to this
country the emperor extends the right
hand of fellowship to the United
States. Twenty-Five years ago such an
act would have been laughed at in all
the courts of Europe. Now there is
not a sovereign who is not envious of
the kaiser's bold and brilliant thought
and jealous of our hearty acceptance.
In reality the act is a recognition
straight out in the eyes of all the
world of the new greatness of the
United States, of our new rank, our
new power and our new influence. 1t
is new signpost pointing to our splen-
did future. And it carries with it the
declaration that all talk of war be-
tween Germany and the United States
is but 1.-The babble Of fools or knaves-
preposterous or criminal"

there. We could hear the president
talking with some one in the cabinet
room, and, while it would have been
impossible to follow the conversation,
the tones were strong enough to indi-
cate vigorous discussion. Pretty soon
the door from the cabinet room opened,
and in came the president. L am not
going to see any of these people except
Senator Bard, not any Of them. l am
too busy l cannot do it. said the pres
ident to Secretary COrtelyOu with con-

to the word, he took Senator Bard over

BREEDING WOLVES.
How Nebraska Farmers are Get
ting Rich.

A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., says:
The large number of claims upon coun-
ties for scalps of wolves and coyotes
has led to the discovery that the far
mers in the western part of the state
have gone into the business of breed
ing these animals for the bounty
market. The farmers find that there
is more money in wolves and coyotes
than there is in hogs.
In one instance farmer was found to
have raised more than 100 wolves last
summer from several wolves he had
trapped and penned for breeding pur-
poses. Other cases have been found
in which from fifteen to sixty of these
animals have been raised. In OctO-
Der or November they were killed and
their scalps presented for payment of
bounty. The state law authorizes the
county clerk to pay So from the county
funds for each coyote or wolf scalp
presented. He certifies the fact to
the auditor, who pays 81 additional
from the state funds.
The law was passed a few years ago,
when the coyote and the wolf were
the great foes of the sheep-raiser
Since that time $4,000 has been paid
in bounties by the state alone. There
are now on file with the auditor claims
aggregating $25, 1000, and it is expected
that this will be more than doubled by
the end of the year. Thus it appears
that. instead of being killed off, the
animals are increasing.
