CITY IS INCLUDED
IN S0-CALLED "FARM"
Was Decided an Aged Ohio Minister,
Who Lost His All in Fraud.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 3.-Of all
the gfaring frauds perpetr&ted in the
wild land schemes in East Tennessee,
the worst one came to light in Hunts
vile, Scott county, today on the arrival
of the Rev b. F. Zell, an aged and
feeble minister of Eugene, Ind, and
formerly of Lebanon, Ohio.
The Rev Mr.. Zell will be seventy
years old at his next birthday. He ex-
changed the Alabama hotel, of Chicago.
for 5000 acres of land in this county.
The hotel property was valued at $685.,
000 He was paid $1,000 in exchange
and decided the 5000 acres of land here.
He has an abstract of title showing
that it was free from incumbrance
but upon investigation it was shown
to have covered the town of Huntsville,
the co lnty seat, and to have not less
than 800 people within it's bounds. The
old gentleman had received no title,
and the abstract is utterly fraudulent.
The abstract was made by an attor-
ney in Huntsville. and an ex-county
official had conveyed the land to a Lee
roy, Kan, man in March last. The
Kansas man had conveyed it direct to
Mr.. Zell. 1t was an incident to be long
remembered to hear the feeble old min
lister Tecite that it took from him eY-
erything he had in the world.

PAIN is NEXT TO A
STRANGER TO HIM
Cincinnati Man Whistles While His
Toes Are Being Cut Off,

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 3.-Filled
to the brim with true Irish wit and
with a heart wholly impervious to
care, Thomas Tracy, of 322 East Sew
enth street, left the city hospital today
to go forth and hustle for a livelihood
until fate ordains his return to the in
stitution.
Many times has Tracy been in the
hospital and many times have the doc
tors marveied at his fortitude Pain
to him seems stranger and suffering
but a nightmare. The last time Tracy
came to the hospital a wagon wheel
had run over his right foot, MASKING
his toes to a pulp. Amputation was
necessary, and Tracy scoffed at the
idea of taking an anesthetic Instead
of groans he gave voice to laughter as
the doctors piled their knives to his
flesh, whistling a tune as one after an
other his toes dropped into the basket
until the last one was gone.
There's many a kick left in that old
foot yet" he said to the doctors. May
be some day l will come in and have
the other foot trimmed up little so
they will look more like mates"
Then Tracy was rolled away to a
ward to wait until today, when it was
decided that he was well enough to go
home.

THE ROYAL ROAD TO SUCCESS.

He who said there royal road to success had
had opportunity observe the going up OF Gen.
Leonard Wood
Five years ago he was a surgeon in, the army with
the rank captain With the of the senate he
will presently be major general of the regular
One reason least for this advancement is that he has
sedulousy cultivated the friendship of the president of
the United States AS colonel Of volunteers Wood was
thrown much into the company of Col Theodore Roose-
welt; and, when his brother in went into the White
House. fate did all that fate could do for him.
Wood made brigader, then major general of
volunteers and given the best post within the reach
OF general officer when he became brigadier general
of the regular organization and governor general OF
Cuba. There was nothing in his administration of the
affairs of Cuba distinguish him particularly 1t is
that things happened under his administration
that would surely have earned for who did not
stand well in high places, investigation. He was
vigorously defended by his friend President Roosevelt,
and the talk about investigation dropped.
Since his return from Cuba Gen. Wood has been en-
joying himself He is drawing the pay of brgadier
general unattached He has had absolutely nothing
do, and might continue in the happy state but that
it is necessary give him of employment in
order justify the elevation in rank for which he
slated He is go the Philippines and will shortly be
put in supreme command in the islands
The promotion of Wood is slap at fine array of
men who have deserved we'll of their country by their
services in the army and who will be compelled retire
with minor rank make way for this favorite of the
powers that be- There colonies in the regular organ
zation who know the science of Warwick Wood
assuredy does notand who have fought we'll when
occasion demanded, who will be denied the promotion
they have won because Col Roosevelt found compan-
ionable chum in army doctor. To pass Gen. Wood
their heads is only doing them an injustice but
will tend to handicap the service.
What man i'll the army will strive for merited pro-
motion when he feels that i'll the evening of his life he
may be off from his goal because of the sudden rise
to favor of courtier? The promotion of Wood to a
major generaship will compel number of colonies who
earned their shoulder straps during the Civil war to
retire colonies when they would by natural processes
attain the rank of brigader general before retiring
1t would make for the beerment of the and the
increase of enthusiastic striving the army the senate
committee on military affairs should reject the honiia
lion of Gen. Wood.

owns a small part, but the value Of

they say:

PATAGONIA to Paris by Rail.

1t is highly probable that for the
present there will be more discussion
than construction associated with the
scheme to connect Alaska and Siberia
with railway tunnel under Boring
strait. 1t is project inherently fasci-
mating. Taken in conjunction with the
projected pan-American railroad. it
presents to the imagination the inter-
esting possibility of a passenger enter
ing a train in Patagonia, traversing
this continent from its southernmost
tip to it's extreme northwest corner,
passing through "a. tube beneath Arctic
waters to the soil of Russia and going

ALIEN TO AMERICAN IDEAS.

The word "deserter" carries with it to most ears an
ndeible reproach We associate it with the abandon
men Of the nations in the hour of terrible peril
with such moral delinquency that the death penalty is
assigned to by the usages of warfare. Yet deseron
is of the ofenses in time of peace and
the military authorities find themselves power1ess to
prevent materially check it. Although it inevitably
means the violation of honorable obligation and the
breaking of solemn OATH it does imply to the pub
lie mind the degree of inamy that attaches the
act in time of And it is being held so lightly
that those interested in the morale of the army are
their wits ends to know what should be done.
The fault does not lie with the generosity of Uncle
Sam He does his duty wonderfully well by those who
serve him. The American soldier is better clothed and
fed and treated than the private any other army in the
world His material needs well looked after; while
constant Improvement being made in arrangements for
his comfort, for his recreation for his development in
manly character. Still the list of assertions lengthens;
and the explanation vouched for from official sources and
perfectly consistent with the facts of the case found in
the terrible nonoony of life at the average army post
in the piping times of peace The soldier cannot stand it
indefinitely; and he chooses hard work in the harvest
ied elsewhere, with all the chances of loss and su

There is no reason in the world why

Dynamite and Dwellings Don't Mix.

Somebody was to blame for the hor-
rible disaster in Lowell. That. how
lost loved ones, to those who are
MANNED for life, or to any who have
suffered in person or property as re-
suit of the explosion.
Out of this disaster. costly as it is,
comes lesson that should be appre-
ciated not only in Lowell. but all over
the country. Dynamite and dwellings,
do not go well together. Human life
is too valuable and land is too cheap to
permit that juxtaposition which is now
permitted. not only in Lowell, but in
other localities.-Boston Journal
