Washington, Dec. 13-Ex-Judge Shep-

North Carolina in the taking Of the de
positions of Congressman Burke, of
South Dakota, and ex-senator Marion
Butler before y. D. Watts, Commits
sioner, in the South Dakota suit today.
Russell represented ChaS.
Salter, also one of the defendants, whose
interest seems adverse to that Of North
Carolina. 1t developed that Congress
man Burke received the bonds from
Schafer Bros, Of New York, who repre-
sent most of the holders of this class
of North Carolina bonds, for the State
OF South Dakota and that he delivered
them to the Governor. 1t seems that
ex-senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
arranged for Mr.. Burke to get them. It
also developed that Marion Butler first
suggested the gift of the bonds to South
and that our State is indebted
to him for the annoyance of this suit.
PItler say he was in South Dakota
in the fall Of 1900, and that he sug-
gested TO Senator PettigreW to have a
bill passed by his legislature authorizing
the State to receive donations. He also
told PcttigreW hat he thought he knew
of one donation which would be made
to the State. But he also testified that
he talked this matter over with Gov
ernor Russell just before the ~latter's
term expired. The ex-senator testified
that he was employed as an attorney by
Schafer Bros. i'll January, 1901. and he
refused to testify IS to any transactions
or knowledge concerning these bonds
since that date on account of privilege.
But he testified TO enough to show that
he suggested this donation to senator
PettiSreW and that he is at the bottom
of this suit.
His testimony also developed that ne

MOORISH PRISON SYSTEM.
TO Correct n P1tinbIe and Brutal
State of Affairs.

A dispatch to the London Times from
Tangier, dealing with the announce
ment that the sultan intends to re-
form the Moorish prison system, says
anything more pitiable han the pres
ent state of the prisons it is impos-
sible to imagine. Any Moroccan sub
ject is liable to be seized and incarcer-
ated at any moment, often without the
pretense of a trial. The rumor that he
has saved a few dollars is sufficient
Excuse for his imprisonment.
The state of affairs in the prisons in
the cities is bad, says the Times cor
respondent. That of the prisons in
the country battles description. Many
of them consist of small, high-walled
yards, with nc shade, no shelter, no
water supply, and no sanitation.
To add to the horror, the prisoners
are chained by their necks to a long,
heavy iron chain, sometimes as many
as so to one chain, without a yard be-
tween each. Heavy shackles are also
riveted to their legs. The conditions
in the subterranean dungeons are even
more awful.
The sultan intends to change all this.
He will overhaul the prisons, sending
inspectors to report upon their condt-
ton. The prisoners are to have suf-
ficient rations, supplied to them by
the local officials.

THE WORD GUERRILLA"
The Term Ia of Spanish Origin which
Got Into English About a
Century Ago.

The word guerrilla" is of Spanish
origin, the diminutive of guerra"
war, and petty war-that is
war carried on by detached parties,
says the London Pail Mall Gazette.
The word first got into the English
language, so far as 1 can discover, in
1909, when it was used by Sir Arthur
wellesley, afterward the duke of We'll
hngtom II have recommended the
%1unta," he says in one of his reports,
ito set the guerrillas to work toward
Madrid" Two years later Scott got
hold of the word. You may find it in
Don Roderick:"
'"The guerrilla band
Game like a tempest and avenged the
land"
And in 1914 Southey was somewhat
afraid Of my old guerrilla friends"
Guerrilla" had then acquired its Sec
ondary Specification. In it's primary
n it was used as the equivalent of
the Latin velites-the light troops of
the skirmdshing line of a regular
army. G. A. Sala wrote ''guerril-
lesque" in 1864, and the Daily Tele-
graph printed it on April 20. But
what is one to say of Thackeray,
Irish Sketchbook," 1913? The word
gets a twist there with a vengeance,
when a dirty, lazy, doubtful family
retainer is summed up as "a guerrilla
footman!"

SEEKS LONG MISSING MOTHER.
Rich Manufactures Of LeaSviIIe, Col,
Starts Search Mt the Old Home
mt KenOsha, wis.

Earl G. Brown, n prominent manu-
~facturer of Leadville, Col, is in
Kenosha, Wis, on a strange mission,
and one which has brought TO light
n peculiar story of other days in
Kenosha. Brown is at Kenosha for
the purpose of making an effort to
find some trace of his mother, Mrs.
James Brown, who disappeared from
Kenosha under mysterious circum-
stances more than 2S years ago.
All the facts in connection with the
story cannot be discovered. ~The
widow Brown" as the mother of the
Leadville man was known in Keno
sha, had resided on Ashland avenue
for many years. One day II was no
ticed that the blinds in the little cot
tage were closed, and as the days
went by people began TO wonder as
to the cause. Finally, on going to
empty. The widow Brown was not
to be found anywhere. Her best
dresses were folded neatly on the
bed, and everything was neat and
clean, but nothing had been left to
show where or in what m~anner~the
widow had left her home.
There seems to be reason TO believe
that Mrs. Brown met with foul play
somewhere, and it is possible hat
she was murdered in her home and
her body secreted; but the little
house remained closed for so many
weeks before strange hands took
control that a criminal would have
had plenty of time to cover his
crime. Many of the earlier inhab-
itants of the city recall the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Brown, but none of
them are able to throw any light on
the question.
