Another Flame.

, A man who had lost his much-be-
loved wife consulted a stone mason in
regard to the erection of tombstone
with suitable epitaph. After having
a number of lines suggested, he finally
selected the following: ''The light of
my life has gone out"
A short time afterward the widower
fell in love with very charming girl,
to whom he became engaged. He i'm
mediately felt concerned about the
epitaph upon the tombstone of his for
mer wife, and again consulted the
stone mason, to whom he explained
the circumstances, and stated that the
epitaph would have to be changed. He
Intended to leave town, returning on
the day Of the wedding, and implored
the mason to take the matter in hand
and alter the epitaph so that the feel
ings Of his prospective wife would not
be hurt This the mason promised to
do, and when the widower returned he
visited the grave at once, finding that
the mason had been true to his word
the epitaph now appearing: "The light
of my life has gone out, but have an
other match."-Philadelphia Times,

Brace Up, Norfolk.

Norfolk is doing great injustice to
itself and the neighboring towns by
allowing gamblers and prostitutes the
privilege of remaining undisturbed in
that city. There is seldom robbery
committed unless the thieves can be
trac d to that town. Stanton and
Pilger have had several robberies of
late and two men who were living in
Norfolk are now in the penitentiary
sent there by the courts and keen eyed
officials of this county. 1t was a great
expense, but our people must stand it
because our sister city entertains liberal
(?) views regarding vice.

RUMORS OF A MYSTERY.

Officers Have Been investigating, but

Hoax or the Injured Man is Care

1t has been persistently rumored that
some man had received serious injuries
between here and the Junction some
time during Sunday night, but the case,
IL there is one, is shrouded in mystery.
Officers were informed that q man had
been severly injured in the yards at the
Creighton depot and an investigation
was made at 2 o'clock yesterday morn.
ing but the injured man was not found
nor were there any clew to his where
abouts.
Later 1t was reported that man,
badly cut and unconscious, was lying in
the Dawson barn in the outer edge of
South Norfolk. Officers and a physi.
clan at once went to the place indicated
but the man had disappeared. One
story is that he recovered his senses and
proceeded down toward the river and
another is that he was removed by COM
panions or those responsible for his con-
dition. A doctor could not be found
who had attended such case, and the
conclusion is either that the officers and
others interested are victims of q
hoax or that the injured man has been
skilfully concealed.
1t is also stated that deliveryman for
one of the grocery houses has knowledge
of the case; that he assisted in carrying
the wounded person into house and
stated that he was horribly mangled bu t
the identity of the deliveryman is sub
ject for conjecture.
The case is on par with one at Sill.

to maintain silence. The Norfolk offic-
ers haven't even this much of a clew,

THE NEWS this morning commenced

cause of rumors of changes. The eight
days allowed for any such changes con-
templsted closed with today and there is
no longer an opportunity to change the
personnel of the ticket should such
change be desired. There has been
some question about the form of the bal
lot at the head where the circles are pro.
vided:for straight party vote. The sam
pie sent out by the secretary of state
provided for but one circle for the two
fusion parties. 1t was shown that in
some counties where there was no fus

the parties to use the circle to Indicate
straight party vote as it could not be
told whether the voter desired to reg

is, do not beat him. Don't throw sand
In his ears, don't use a rope on his
fore legs or even burn straw under
him. Quietly go and pat him on the
head moment. Take a hammer or
even pick up a stone in the street,
tell the driver to sit still, take his lines,
hold them quietly while you lift up
either front foot, give each nail light
tap and good smart tap on the frog,
drop the foot quickly and then chirp
to him to go. In ninety-nine cases out
Of hundred the horse will go right on
about his business, but the driver
must keep his lines taut and not pull
or Jerk him back.

to look the facts squarely in the face.
That cough, racking and persistent, ac-
companied by tightness in the chest and
splitting Of sticky mucus, is sign of
consumption. Colmon sense indicates
the use of Aliens Lung Balsam, an
honest remedy since IL contains no
opium; an efficient remedy, since it
heals the irritated, infiamed throat and

cold from running into incurable forms

DESERTED?

There is evidently one Jackie on the
United States training ship Mohican

many more, but this certain young tar,
probably from the grain fields of KAN

sea voyage, has shed the habiliments of

In a partially secluded spot behind
two piles of lumber the reporter came
across a stack of clothing, which, upon
investigation proved to be those of n
sailor OF the cut worn by the young
jacflies on the Mohican. There were
two names on the clothes, which con-
sisted of the jaunty white duck service
cap, white regulation blouse and a pair
of trousers. Near by were several
pieces of paper such as storekeepers use
in wrapping up purchased goods. a
piece of comb was also picked up.
There was no appearance of the owner
of the uniform having any intention Of
returning to change back TO his naval
habilfments, as they were lying in such
a position that they could be seen by
any one passing through the lane which
goes by the lumber piles. If the tar in

THE FIJIANS ALSO HAVE A
LEPER COLONY QUESTION

, crown lay low for a time and then
tried to effect sales of the lands. AS
possession could not be given to the
purchasers the sales were cancelled,
and further prosecutions of the villag-
ers proved abortive." Mr.. Labouchere
quotes another case which took place IN
March last, when a piece of land culti-
waited and fenced and claimed as an
cestral property by a villager was put
up for sale as waste lands under the
notorious waste lands ordinance. The
owner, trying to notify his protest at
the sale, was at once seized and shut
up till the sale was over, although no
charge could be preferred against him,
and his detention without a warrant
or any other authority was entirely
Illegal. 'The supreme court concludes
Mr. Labouchere, has several times
commented upon the arbitrary and op-
pressive, and even illegal methods by
which the government enforces its
claim to lands, but the rebukes of the
judges are treated with contempt; and
the above case is only one of many
examples, of the persecution to which
native land owners We're subjected. In
fortunately, after the line Mr.. Cham
berlain took over the waste lands ordi-
nance of 1S99 it seems hopeless for the
victims to appeal to the colonial Office
for redress" From this 1t seems clear
that the colonial administration is not
solely to blame for the iniQuItieS and
ilegalities to which the native Fijians
have been tco often subjected of late.

administrator has been driving the

LEVUKA, Fiji. Dec. 21.-The Polyne-
sian Gazette says: The forcible taking
of the land of certain native Fijians at
Beqa for the purpose OF establishing
a leper settlement thereon, and the ac-
ton of the acting chief justice In re-
fusing to allow the aggrieved owners
to test the right of the government to
disposSess them without first estab-
fishing its title to the lands opens up
two separate questions of great i'm
portance. The first is that of the To-
cation Of lepers in the midst of set
tied population; the second. the right
of the administration to dispossess ma
tive land owners at will, allowing no
recourse to the higher court which
alone could decide on the validity OF
such encroachment and, if illegal, set
up a barrier against it. 1t is barely
two years since the administration
sought to establish a lazar, or leper
asylum in Suva. but the general con-
sensus of opinion among the civilized
community was against the project, a
vigorous opposition was set up. and
the design was abandoned; Europeans
would not submit to the infliction. Now
natives only are in danger of having
their homes broken up and their lives
endangered by this fell disease being
located in their midst. and there is no
agitation against the iniquity which is
about to be perpetrated. And yet the
principle involved is of universal appli-
cation. In every part of the civilized
world except Fiji it is conceded that
the sole safeguard against contamina-
tion by this loathsome disease is the
complete segregation of the lepers. We
have all heard of Molokai and the he
roic devotion of Father Damien. Why
should rule of such universal appli-
cation be ignored in this crown colo
ny? With regard to the second point,
an object lesson is supplied by another
crown colony. In Ceylon recently the
government sought to acquire forcibly
lands owned by Cingalese in the viii
lage of Mugunuwatawana, and Mr..
Labouchere has taken up the cudgels /!
in Truth on behalf of the natives. The I
native owners, Mr.. Labouchere states, !
passively resisted the occupation. /.
Criminal prosecutions were Instituted t
against the villagers, but the supreme (
court quashed the convictions, and adj 1
vised that the crown should first estab- /
lish its title to the lands by civil action. /
