ADJoURNlRG CATTL6a CASES.
Cattle Rustlers in Lyman County

Judge Smith, Court Stenogr rapher
Boyles and Fl. @. Preston came home
from Oacoma last night and this
morning, where they have been hold
ing court during the week. It; was
expected that the term would last
several weeks in the hearing of the
cattle rustling cases. but there was
only one taken up at this time. To-
was that Of a man named Filter, who
was charged with misbrand ling CATTLE.
The case was tried last term and the
jury disagreed. The same result was
attained atthis time.
S We understand that the attorneys
for the cattle irustlers had a fine
scheme fixed up that would result in
the liberation Of their clients. When
Attorney Preston, who is assisting
the attorney Of Lyman county in the
prosecution Of these cases, asked
that the names on the jury list be
read ad there was a strong objection set
forth by these attorneys and it was
then that they sprung their plan. !;
They filed affidayits of prejudice
against Judge Smith hearing the cat
tie rustling cases, and they figured
that his honor would in retaliation
at once callin an outside Judge, one
who was a stranger to the men on
the reservation: to hear the cases
Mr.. Preston moved that the cases
against the cattle rustlers be con-
tinued until the, next regular term
of court, which would put them off
until next June, at which time
new set Of officers will doubtless be-
in control out there. The rustlers,
attorneys fought the postponement
hard. but the court ruled that they
should be continued and he formed
the attorneys he would notify them
when the next term would be held I,
either a special or regular Their
plan did not succeed. Il

HEAVY GOLD WASTE.
Present Process Of Extracting Metal
from Ore Loses o7 Per Cent.
So Says = Colorado Chemist Who Has
Investigated the Merits OF New
Undiscovered Process which
E1eots . Big 0ovioG.

A newly-discorered process for ex-
tracing gold from ore publicly an
nounced at Denver the other day af-
firms that the present system causes
the loss of about 81 per cent. OF the
gold which might be extracted. The
scheme would not attract the atter-
tion it has done in the city were it
not for the fact that Willard Teller,
brother of United States Senator
Teller and Colorado's greatest expert.
has announced himself satisfied that
the process is scientific and feasible
for the treatment Of large bodies of
ore.
The invention is called the Wynn
process after Prof. Wynn, the alleged
discoverer. Briefly, it consists Of pull
verizing the ore, treating it in tank
with chemicals and then extracting
the gold by fire. In all chemical
processes heretofore invented the
gold is precipitated or held in so!u-
ton until extracted by other acids.
In the Wynn process the gold rises
with other matter as a scum.
On the safe in the Office of Mr..
Teller is a piece of ore which, accord
ing to skilled assayers of Denver,
carries one to three dollars in gold
to the ton. Of this ore 1000 pounds
were treated the other day. The re-
suit was the recovery of $50 worth Of
gold. At this rate the ore carries
s120 to the ton. The Ere test loses
Sl17 upon every ton.
II will say that have gone into
this experimentation closely and con-
scientiously and have reached the
bottom" said Mr.. Teller Every
phase of doubt has gradually disap-
peared and know the process is q
success. I do not say that it will ap-
ply to all ores, or that its effects are
uniformly the same I do not claim
that we know accurately the specific
treatment that will extract the values
upon any set of samples that may be
submitted, but we have proceeded far
enough to convince US that we are
now ready to pass from the stage of
mere experiment to the stage of
actual results upon a large scale in
the field"

Electricity On the Southern.

The Southern Railway is fitting all
it's dining cars with electric lights and
fans. Some Of the cars have already
been equipped with the electrical ap-
paratus and the work is being pushed
as fast as the cars can be sent to the
shops.
Dining car No. 12l, now in service
between Greensboro, n. c., and Mont
gomery, on the Washington and South
western limited, is equipped with the
fans and lights, and in consequence
the patrons of this train always re-
joice when they learn that this car is
on the run.
The electricity is furnished from a
dynamo which gets its power from the
car aXles. The lights are great i'm
provement over the gas lights gener-
ally in use, while the fans not only in
crease the pleasure OF travel in hot
weather, but enable the road to keep
its cars in a comfortable condition
dnring the winter months, when the
excessive dryness caused by the steam
heat often makes the cars feel "stutfy."
Assistant General Passenger Agent
W. II. Tayloe of the Southern is very
enthusiastic over the installation OF
the electric equipment. as he thinks
that it will bring about a great in
crease in the patronage given the din
ing cars.

Hurrah for the Farmer!

Piping times Of plenty these should
be for the farmers in our great West if
the recent government crop report is
to be trusted, says the Spartanburg
Journal. According to the figures, we
shall have invested, when the fields
are all cut and the shocks all gathered
in, the greatest crop ever known in
the history of our agriculture. 1t will
consist, SO the official estimate runs,
OF a corn crop Of 2,422 ,O00, 900 bushels,
634 100000 bushels of wheat and $685.
100000 bushels Of oats, an aggregate Of
1862. .000. 900 bushels for the three
grains. The general effect of the crop
prospects is reflected in the way mer-
chants in all sections save those in
Texas. where the crops were damaged
by the recent droughts, are in the
markets as free buyers Of goods. Their
stocks have been allowed to
run down, and they are buying
freely for the trade and taking bet
ter class Of goods than heretofore.
The feature OF the trade is that goods
are wanted earlier than in previous
seasons. All the factories are said to
be busy. Railroads are having larger
movement of merchandise to the agri-
cultural sections than last year, and
traffic generally is fully as heavyas last
year. Money is plenty and cheap, and
the West never had so much prosperi-
ty in sight. So, hurrah for corn. hurrah
for wheat. hurrah for oats. Hurrah
for all of US, but especially hurrah for
the farsighted, hardworking farmer
who planted the crop that has broken
the record. In this connection we
would ask why should not the South
ern farmer show in this great prosperi-
ty that has overwhelmed the farmers
Of the West? There is but one an
Swer, and that is that our farmers
stick to cotton, while the farmers of
the West diversity their crops.

An Expensive TELEGRAM.

Punctuation, which used to be re-
garded as a very essential part of
composition. does not receive the
same attention to-day which was for
merly given to it. There is, how
ever, one man who, if he were asked,
would be likely to concede it's i'm
portance.
He is wealthy business man Of
New York, q man of large liberality,
and very generous to his family.
During his absence from the city his
wife desired to make purchase of
laces amounting in value 10 $4,000.
The sum was large. and, although she
knew his generosity, she decided to
telegraph to him for his sanction
before buying.
In reply to her telegram of inquiry
came the answer: NO price too
high Touched by such libcrality.
and stimulated by the cheering mes
sage, she proceeded to buy not only
the laces which she had in mind, but
other goods to the value OF $4,000.
When the husband returned and
his wife showed him her purchases
he asked 10 see the telegram which
she had received 1t was something
of a surprise to him, but he said
nothing. What he had written was:
