A STRANGE CASE.
Mysterious Death of Charles j. Cook
Son of ]. B. Cook, of Warrenton.

lAySterlOuS DedIn OF NndrleS j. Cook,
Son of ]. B. Cook, of Warrenton.
Mr.. j. B. Cook, OF Warrenton, re-
ceived telegram last week stat1ng
that his son, Charles J. Cook, had
been found dead near Mandan, N. D.
He left on New Years Day for Man
dan to investigate the manner of his
death and convey the remains to
Warren. He returned with the BODY
on Tuesday, this week, and gave the
SHEAF some Of the particulars in con-
nection with the sad affair.
The young man was found dead
Dec. 31st by an Indian from Cannon
Ball reservation. Two gunshot
wounds had entered the body, either
OF which would have proved fatal.
One ball had entered IL inches below
the left nipple, and passed through
his heart, lung and liver, and lodged
IN the spinal column. The second
ball had entered back Of top of left
ear, and taken a course diagonally
across the top of the head. The body
was found lying on the face close by
sleigh tracks at his feet. An open
knife was found at his feet and a 80
scaliber revolver near his head. The
Indian who discovered the body re-
ported the fact to the authorities at
Mandan. A coroner's jury was sum
moned to make investigation, but at
the time OF Mr. Cooks departure it
had reached no conclusion. Some Of
the circumstances Indicate suicide
and Others murder. No motive ex-
listed apparently for suicide, as the
young man was healthy and not
without money, $12.5 So having been
found on his person, besidesa a return
ticket to Bismarck, where i e had
been staying about week at a ho-
tel. An examination of his clothing,
and effects at the hotel showed that
he had intended to return there after
a short stay at Mandan.
The Indian who reported the death
was suspicioned, but in the opinion
OF the Indian sub-agent, Mr.. Wells.
ne was Innocent, but there were other
Indians out on passes who might
have committed the deed. This
matter will be looked up.
The young man had been out there
about 1S months, and had been
working on a ranch for Small Bros,
. miles south of Bismarck, during
the summer and fall, and he wrote
home Christmas that he was getting
along we'll. He was past 1S years OF
age, and was born in Warrenton.
The death of their son away from
home under these circumstances is a
severe shock to the parents and the
other members of the family. The
funeral was conducted Wednesday
afternoon by Rev. Mckee, and the
remains inferred in Greenwood
cemetery.

Fuel Oil in the Navy.

Rear Admiral Melville, engineer in chief of the navy, asks Congress to ap- propriate $2O00O for experimentation .n crude oil as fuel on battleships and torpedo boats, and the subject will be freely discussed when the naval ap- propriation bill is taken up. England and Russia are both considering a like subject. Russia has a great sup ply of oil, and so has England in Burmah. but neither has oil so near the coast as this country has both in Texas and in California.
 The fuel supply on torpedo boats and destroyers has long been trouble some. and if oil, which is smokeless, can be used, the problem is well-nigh solved, for a sufficient supply of oil can be carried.
 What is needed now are thorough and impartial tests by naval officials. Admiral Melville is an excellent man to conduct such tests, for on him will fall the chief responsibility connected with changes in boilers and the like. An appropriation of $20,000 for such a purpose should not be considered excessive.
 Recently the steamship Breakwater of the United Fruit Company steamed from New Orleans to the coast or Honduras and back, burning crude oil only both going and returning, and her officers report that it was easier to maintain steam and speed-that fuel expenses were thus cut In two, and that there was a saving in the reduction of the number of stokers. The ship consumed in the voyage $50 barrels of oil in lieu of 21S tons of coal All the vessels of the United Fruit Company are to be reitted with oil-burning appliances and facilities.
 Nothing. however, is so convincing as. official tests, and these are looked for at the hands of the navy. We would prefer to see Alabama coal used in the navy, but if fuel oil Is bet ter adapted to sea purposes, let 1t be given a chance, for 1t cannot be used in melting iron, or in grates, or in many other places that coal has pre- empted and will continue to hold.

 AND ELSEWHERE
The Dead Archbishop.

Archbishop Corrigan, who died at ms home in New York City monday night was not only an able business man but he was one of the ripest scholars in the United States" said a layman who heard his grace preach few years ago.
 "All bishops must be men of executive talent Most of them are brilliant sehol- ars and forceful preachers, but Arch bishop Corrigan was man Of exception- al attainments. heard the distinguished preiate at high mass in his great eathe- dral His theme was the miracles and was impressed with the originality of ms discourse. His manner was singularly quiet. There was no attempt at oratory' but every sentence of his sermon was clean cut and strong.
 Archbishop Corrigan was often re1er- red to as an ecclesiastical reactionary' but that term was not f1ttingly applied. He was a. very positive man but he was a wise leader and was dstinetively Amer ican. The Catholic church in New fork increased rapidly under his adminisra- ton and the latest church census or the boroughs of Manhattan and the Broux showed that the Catholic population was nearly 1000, ,0O0."

The Methodist Church.

'"The quadrennial general conference or the Methodist Episcopal church, south' which convenes at Dallas Wednesday, will be in session about three weeks" remarked an old citizen. Tt is strong body, strong numerically and strong In it's representative character. The separa- tlon of the old Methodist general confer ence into north and south dates from 1S44 or 1S45. The first general conference of the southern body was held in Peters burg, Va, in May, 1S46.
 ''The split occurred over the question of slavery The northern Methodists thought slave holding was sinful. The southern bishops and pastors took the opposite view. The wife of Bishop J. O. Andrews owned slaves and this case pre- cipitated the action of the northern sec tion in voting for a separation.
 From the time of the organization of the southern general conference until some time after the civil war, the rela- tions of the two bodies were anything but cordial, but hostility passed away with the coming of the era of general good feeling between the sections. The north and south general conferences are now in very close fraternal correspondence.
 Organic reunion will probably be brought about some day, although this would be no easy matter for the reason that the long separation has resulted in differentiation of polity. The north Meth odists have made many changes in the constitution of the church. while the southern Methodists have made but few. In doctrine the two bodies are united.'

be matters of interest by vast num- Der of people in all the States. There is widespread feeling that the force is so honeycombed with crookedness in various forms that sweeping re- moYals of captains, sergeants and sub ordinates will become necessary be- fore a reasonable degree of honesty in the force can be secured. Mayor Low and Commissioner Partridge may lack the power to make a clean sweep, but the matter is so important that the Governor of the State should not hesitate to summon the Legislature if need be.
 The entire case is national scan- dal, reflection upon the government of American cities, and really upon our entire system of government. For if the chief city and chief port of the country cannot secure honest police protection-if Its police officers are in collision with thieves and thugs-if rascality and debauchery are "pro- tected" and virtue condemned by the paid servants of the city-the entire country suffers in reputation and it's various parts become demoralized.
 Something drastic is needed in New York, and Governor Odell will cer- tainly not hesitate to summon the Legislature if Mayor Low gives the word. For the general good of the country it is to be hoped that Mayor Low and Commissioner Partridge will act bravely and firmly, that they may put an end to misrule and corruption in. New York, no matter who may be hurt politically, or what the cost of a sweeping change may be.

Cost of the Boer War.

The Boer war will doubtless be ended on May 15, when the repre- sentatives of the Boers in the field will meet and act upon the British proposals, which are said to be gener- ous and to be acceptable to the fight ing men, whatever they may be to the Boers in Holland. In view of the probable close of the war many figures are presented of the cost of it to the British government, and none of these agree the one with the other.
 In fact, it is almost impossible to say what the cost of the war has been because the army and navy expendi- lures cover operations in the vast . British empire. But the army and navy expenses which stood at about 20.00O,000 a year before the begin ming of the Boer struggle for inde- pendenee now stand at about $300,- 100000 a year. This change would indicate that the war has cost only about $250, 100000, and that sum is doubtless approximately correct.
 The issues of consols in the last three years point to a larger total but these issues are not free from other complications, so that we are forced to accept the annual army and navy expenditures as guide. The fig ures in full of recent expenditures of this sort show rising scale independ- ent of the Boer war, and $250,000,000 may be accepted as the approximate cost of the war. If this be the true sum, the war has been conducted far more honestly and economically than our brief war with Spain was, and the interest charge on account of it will not exceed s7,0OO,O00 year, and this will perhaps be borne by the mines of the Rand, which brought on the war itself.

In the Hard Coal Districts.

A huge strike in the hard coal dis tricts of Pennsylvania seems inevit- able. One hundred and forty-seven i thousand miners will go out if any go out, and the strike will be the largest if not the most determined in the his l tory of labor conflicts in this or any other country. The miners want above all else recognition as a body, and they also want more pay by 10 per cent, and fewer working hours under ground by a like percentage.
 The hard coal districts are practi- cally controlled by three railroads the Reading; the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western and the Erie, and the three presidents of the three rail roads say that none of the three de- mands of the miners shall be granted. The miners say they will not work unless all three are granted, although they have offered to accept an increase of per cent in wages. This offer comes as a compromise proposition. Between the two forces appears now and then the National Civic Fedora tion, of which Senator Mark Hanna is the chief and spokesman. But in this conflict the conciliator cuts a small figure. The three railroads are firm and stubborn, and John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, is equally firm and stub- born. The crisis will be reached to- day, and at this writing it looks as if the influence of MT Hanna and his associates upon the operators will be nil, and that clash is inevitable.
 If strike is ordered today 147,OOO men will go out, and fully a million people will be directly involved, and a vast number indirectly. A memorable conflict seems to be coming, which could perhaps be avoided if the opera tors would recognize the right in the miners to combine and act as body. This right of combination Is freely ex- ercised by the operators, and it Is not easy to see how they can consistently refuse to recognize the right in the miners. If this point were once con ceded the strike could be compromised and settled, but this point Is not con- ceded and probably will not be, and the unions will therefore fight their battle for recognition as an organized body to the end.

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.

By William Shakespeare. For time is like a fashionable host That slightly shakes his parting guest

 virtue seek Remuneration for the thing 1t was; For beauty, wit, High birth, vigor of bone, desert in ser
 vice, Love, friendship, charity, are subjects
 all To envious and calumniating time. One touch of nature makes the whole

New York's Vile Police.

All the country is interested in the local affairs of New York City, be- cause that city is the commercial cen ter of the country, and every one in the country is taxed by that city di' rectly or indirectly. Very many men in active life visit that city from time to time. and so it occurs that its strictly local affairs are of general interest.
 The condition of the police force is a case in point. The weakness and corruption that exist in it are felt to

THE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING OUT

From the Huntsville Tribune.
 The opposition to the State primary continues to make itself heard. But the people who are in favor of the primary need not have any uneasiness The oppo- sition does not express the wishes of any class or body of the voters of the State. It all comes from those expert and pro- fessional politicians who have thriven and grown fat for years on rewards they have received Tor manipulating conven- tions Naturally they have no desire to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. But the people at this particular time don't happen to be considering the well fare of these parasites; they are looking to the protection of their own rights.

 Reform is lots of fun till you have to practice it on yourself.
 One member can begin an argument but the whole family can't end it.
 No man can keep on being sinner without the money to support his sin- nirg.
 It makes a mans blood run cold to hear one woman drive a bargain with an- other.
 Give man plenty to eat and a woman plenty to wear and they will live happy forever after.

An old-Time Swlndler.

Speaking of bunco schemes I recall a noted case of swindling at Maysville, Ky.," said commercial traveller at the Morris, who comes from the Blue Grass State
 Soon after the war, in 1865 or 1S66 a man landed in Maysyille and introduced himself as L. Q. c. Lamar, the famous jurist, who had distinguished him self in the Confederate army There were many strong Southern sympathizers in the lit- tie Kentucky city. None of them had ever seen General Lamar but many of them had seen his photograph and the stranger looked like the picture.
 Prominent bankers, professional men and merchants were delighted to welcome so eminent a leader in the lost cause. Dinner parties were given In his honor and every one who met him was charmed with his gracious manners. The head of a large banking house said to the gen. eral, If there is anything I can do for you do not hesitate to say so.' The gen. eral thanked the banker but remarked that he was not in need of funds. The next day however he called and said that he found he needed $10O0 I have a draft on my home bank which will thank you to cash he said. Certainly replied the banker only too glad to serve you Putting 5000 in currency In his inside pocket. the general left town. Those who had been entertaining him thought 1t was strange that General Lamar did not come to say goodbye. But 1t was a week before the 5000 draft was returned, marker forgery
 Tt turned out that the swindler was known to the police throughout the country. He had many aliases and was wanted in many cities, and he was finally caught and tried in New York under the name of Humphreys for working a big bunco game. He went to Sing Sing and died there
