Statue Broken Man Bought for his
Grave.

Macon, Oct. 1G.-There is very pc
culiar row on between neighbors in a
little community of Crawford county
known as Union church. Colonel
James Smith, one OF the biggest cot
ton planters in Georgia the man who
brought in eighty bales Of cotton on
twenty Of his two horse wagons q
couple Of years ago and paradcd the
streets Of Macon, led by brass band
has erected handsome two thousand
dollar monument Of immaculate
Georgia marble.
This monument marks the spot in
which Colonel Smith wishes tc rcposc
after the spirit takes his flight from
this mundane sphere. On the side
above where the grave is to be is the
date of Colonel Smith birth and the
word died appears in place, but
the date is left blank, to be covered
after the owners death. On top Of
the monument is heroic figure of the
great planter. This figure stands
twenty-five feet above tue ground and
looks the very image Of the mau whose
likeness it is to perpetuate.
The people in that section, or some
of them, did not quite like tho idea
of being constantly reminded that
they were to lose their fellow citizen,
80 some of tho wicked fellows under.
took to destroy the costly monument
by shooting at it with firearms. It is
in the sacred burying ground Of Union
church and is surrounded by less i'm
posing monuments by people who
have already died, but this did not
prevent the desecration of the spot
and the effort to destroy the monu-
ment. Bullets from huge pistols
have shipped off large pieces Of the
beautiful marble and somewhat dis
figured the statue.
Colonel Smith has just had another
slab made and placed at the foot Of
his big monument. On it are these
words: "Five hundred dollars reward
for the person or persons who deface
this monument.
This seemed to arouse even moro
than ever the wicked heart Of the men
who wanted to destroy his monument,
80 they buried Col. Smith in efigy,
aud placed big, rough rock over the
grave. They painted sign then Of
fering one thousand dollars reward for
the person or persons who defaced
their monument.
Colonel Smith takes this more good
naturedly than one would suppose,
but there is no rubbing out the fact
that if he catches the people who
have treated him in that way there
will be trouble. Journal.

To Would BE Settlers.

Ou June 15, 1903, one million acres
Of land in California were thrown open
to entry. This may be taken up
either under the Desert Laud act or as
homestcads in 10.acrc tracts. The
strip stretches from Mojaye to the
Colorado river.
We wish to warn all intending set
tiers to let this land alone There IS
a good deal Of talk about making the
desert blossom as the rose Some
deserts blossom, but not this one. No
body will ever do more for this des,
ert than mother nature has done. The
only blooming nature has brought
about there is that its freckled bosom
blossoms with large alkali pustules, or
pimples, punctuated with sage brush
and cactus. This sums up the flora of
the new promised land. The fauna
includes jack rabbits, horned toads,
lizards, ella monsters and venomous
snakes. The soil is coarse and gravel,
and on top of the coarse gravel there
is fne alkali powder Which, when
the wind blows-aud the wind blows
often-sweeps over the scorching aud
barren laud like the dreaded sand
storms of the Sahara, which, by TIE
way, they much resemble. Even far
to the southwest, across the lofty
mountaiL ranges, these desert sand
storms sometimes sweep, reaching the
favored dwcllers in Southern Califor-
MIA in the midst of their orange groves.
Even this distant touch Of the desert
winds causes trees to wither, grass to
scorch aud men and animals to suffer
keenly. Over this dreadful desert the
| sun moves like hall Of fire across a
sky of brass. Rarely does d cloud
break the intensity of it's pitiless rays
Those credulous persons who may
believe that this is the kind Of desert
which, by irrigation, may be turned
into garden are doomed to disap-
pointment. There is no water on this
desert strip. The waters Of the Colo
rado may be led GU the lands of tho
Yuma desert, but that is far lower
in level than are these. Much Of this
Mojave strip is at an elevation of two
or. three thousand feet. AS for arte.
sian water, the writer personally
knows of one we'll which was bored
for nearly TWO thousand feet, ending
in igncous rock and producing moth
ing but profanity.
The last hope for the settler on this
barren land would be tho discovery Of
the precious metals. These may exist
there. We do not say they cannot be
found. But we know that tho laud
has been prospected by experienced
miners for half century. If ten
derfoot can dnd gold mine where an
old California miner fails he is o
smart tenderfoot. But we doubt his
success.

be deluded by false, even If we'll mean

JONES' VIEW.

Washington, May, 29-Ex-
Senator James K. Jones of Ark
ansas, chairman of the democratic
national committee, gave an in
terview which questioned the
availability of Grover Cleveland
as the Democratic candidate for
president.
"It seems to me-" said he "that
if the democrats hope to win next
year they cannot do so unless
they nominate a man who shall
not be Objectionable to either
wing of the party. To insist upon
the nomination of an extremist
from any viewpoint would render
the complete union Of the party
at the next election impossible"
Mr.. Jones mentioned Senator
German, Judge Parker or Edward
M. Sheppard of New York as
possibilities. He believes with a
compromise candidate and a
compromise platform the Demo-
Gratis have a reasonable chance
for SUCCESS in 1904.

Annual Report OF the County Clerk
Shows That the Dat Crop is the
Leading Crop in the County.
CORN RELOCATED TO SECOND CROP
Cultivated Grasses Make a Good Showing
and County Still has an Abundance of
Growing Timber. Interesting Report

County Clerk William c. Crosby
today forwarded to the secretary of
state his annual reports of the crops of
Kenosha county, and the report will
be of great interest to the people Of
the city and county interested in the
development of the agricultural re.
sources of the county.
For years corn has been considered
the leading crop OF the county, but
during the last two years the oat crop
has been so enormous that the old
King Corn has been relegated to
second place. The report of the crops
for last year shows that there were
77O,316 bushels of oats raised in the
county, while the bushels of corn only
amounted to ST., $50. The acreage in
oats this year is 1852, while the
acreage of corn is but 1868. There
is one thing of interest in the report
and that is the great showing the
county makes as hay producing sec
ton of the state. During the past
year the crop Of hay amounted to the
grand total of 2l,216 tons, and for the
present year there are 21,618 acres
sown in the cultivated grasses.
It is also interesting to note that the
timber lands of the county are being
preserved and the report shows that
there are still 1921 acres of growing
timber in the county.
The dairy business in Kenosha
county seems to be falling off and
while this is still classed as one of the
great farm industries, it has not the
prestige that it enjoyed in other years.
The number of mich cows has been
reduced and the value of the dairy pro-
duct is much smaller than in former
years. zThe report shows that the
farmers of the county are returning to
the pursuits of the farm and the side
issues that have been introduced dur
ing the last few years are being
abandoned, and in their place the
farmer is returning to the raising of
grains.
The most interesting figures from
the report follow:

HAD TOO MANY WIVES
Mrs. Ella Warren Monroe Asks
Divorce From Her Husband,
William {. Monroe.
ONE WIFE LIVES IN KENOSHA.
Wife Number 2 Claims That She Has Just
Discovered That Her Husband Has
Another Living Wife,

William E. Monroe, who was form
erly resident of this city has more
than his quota of wives. He is not a
Mormon, but according to the tale tina t
his second wife Ella Warren Monroe,
has told in the divorce courts of Chi
cago, he is patterning closely after
one of the prime features of the Latter
Day Saints, and is at present the pos
SCISSOR of wife in Chicago and another
one in Kenosha. Monroe formerly
worked in one of the Kenosha factories
and his wife is said to be still residing
in this city. Her name is Tessa Mon
roe and while her name does not ap-
pear in the Kenosha city directory,
wife number two alleges that she
resides in this city. Monroe is accused
of being gay Lothario, and his work
ings have been mostly in Chicago.
Tessa the Kenosha wife has the honor,
it is said, and Monroe was married to
her many years ago and they have
never been separated through the
medium of the courts. Mrs. Monroe
number two is free to admit that she
did not know of the existence of the
first wife at the time she married
Monroe, and as soon she discovered
the fact that she was sharing her hus-
band with another she at once took
the matter into the divorce courts.
Monroe separated from his Kenosha
wife some time ago and had gone to
Chicago to live. Shortly after going
to Chicago ne smet Ella Warren and
the two decided to marry. Monroe
evidently figured that wife here and
there would be all right, and SO he had
the ceremony performed as soon as
possible. Mrs. Tessa Monroe soon
learned of the marriage and made no
move to separate the pair, and even
failed to notify the second wife that
she had any claim to the husband.
Things went on smoothly for time
until the Warren woman discovered
that the other wife was keeping close
tab on her and then Monroe was
hauled into court. It is possible that
after the divorce is over Mrs. Monroe
mum Der two will insist on her husband
being prosecuted for the crime of
bigamy. Few of the people in Keno
sha who had known the Monroes
during their residence here had heard
of the second marriage, and the report
that the divorce was pending, caused
quite little stir among the workmen
of the city. Monroe is a young m an
and it seems that he is strong among
the ladies. 1t is said that during his
residence in Kenosha he was keeping
company with the woman who he
afterward married in Chicago. Mrs.
Tessa Monroe has refused to take any
part in the suit for divorce and will
not appear against her faithless
husband.

COUNTRY BOY WINS.
Fred Melon. of Salem Has Little Trouble In
Throwing Tommy Reidt.

While the Governor was speaking at
Salem Thursday afternoon a number
of the real sporty members of the
crowd that gathered for the old set
tiers reunion went over to vacant
room in the village and got up a first
class wrestling match. It was the
town against the country and seven
hundred people, as many as listened to
the governor, gathered in the deserted
building and watched Fred Melon, a
Salem product, throw Tommy Reidt,
the lightweight champion of the state,
in three straight falls.
The victory of the Salem boy was a
decided surprise as Reidt had expected
to have little trouble in throwing
Melon. The supporters of Reidt had
all sorts of fun with the country boy.
In the first fall Melon began to show
his strength and amidst the cheers
of the crowd he laid Reidt on his back
in the first half minute of the bout.
When the second bout was called the
champion was little 1eery but it did
no good as the Salem boy simply out
classed him and threw him IN a single
minute. It is said that considerable
money changed hands on the outcome
of the contest.

OPEN EASTERN BRANCH.
Thomas b. Jeffery Company to Have an
Eastern Office in Boston

Owing to the increasing demand for
Rambler automobiles in the New Eng
land states, Thomas B. Jeffrey & Co.
have decided that it will be to their
best interests and for the convenience
of the New England agents to open a
branch IN that vicinity. A long lease
has been taken of extensive premises
at las Columbus avenue, Boston, and
the New England branch will be in
charge of Ernest A. Gilmore, who has
covered that territory for the company
during the past two years, and is one
of the Oldest employees and branch
managers of the Gormul1y & Jeffery
Manufacturing Company, who made
the name Rambler" famous. The
store will be deliberately fitted up and a
full stock of parts and accessories be
kept on hand. In addition to this, the
company has already large ware
house in Boston, which will still be
continued, enabling it to always carry
a sufficient quantity of carriages for
the adjacent agents. The branch
is quite capacious, having a frontage
of about sixty feet on Columbus ave-
nue., and the basement, which will be
thoroughly equipped for all ordinary
repairs.
The demand in New England for
Ram blers this year has far exceeded
all expectations, and if it is possible to
judge of the future by the past, Mr..
Gilmore viii be kept fully busy in the
coming sea son delivering Ramblers.
