 Macon Telegraph: Commenting on the Maryland campaign, a Washington cor respondent of the New York Evening Post says that the Booker Washington dinner at the White House is likely to go down in history as the most widely known episode of the present adminis- tration."

WENTZ IN THE MOUNTAINS. Report That Agent Went to See Mem. bers of the Family Is True.

 Chattanooga, Tenn, November 3.-A special to the Times from Bristol Tenn. says:
 It is stated positively today that the young man described in last nights special came to the Wentz home for conference despite reports that there are no new developments. It Is thought the stranger will not return to bring letter from young Wentz, but that further ne- gotiations will be carried on in the wilds of Cumberland mountains in which di- rections it is said confidential agents of the family have hastened.
 Taking this view of the matter. 1t is believed negotiations will be concluded at some remote point in the mountains, and that likely nothing further will reach the public until young Wentz comes forth a free man.

Appeals in Criminal Cases.

Lawyers in practice favor appeals in criminal cases, but Justice Brewer at least-a lawyer on the bench-thinks compulsory appeals are hurtful, and are not demanded by the federal con. stitution No man has right to two trials, and an appeal is a claim to a second trial.
 Formerly there was no right of ap- peal in criminal cases in the federal courts, and Justice Brewer sees and presents many reasons for return to

Ada Rehan's Silver Statue.

"In view of Ada Rehan's appearance at the Jefferson Wednesday night with Otis Skinner in The Tanning of the Shrew,' it will be interesting to know that her silver statue which stood in the Montana state exhibit at the Chicago worlds fair will shortly be melted into bullion" said gentleman who knows the great actress personally. For the past seven years the statue has lain neglected in the base ment of a dry goods store in Topeka, Kansas, and 1t has a most interesting history. After the fair closed the Rehan statue was leased to a company which was organized to exhibit it over the Unit ed States. When the statue reached To- peka dispute arose between it's owner and the company to which it was leased. receiver was appointed who stored it In the basement of store. There it has remained until a few days ago when 1t was shipped to Omaha, where 1t will be melted, the proceeds to be divided among the creditors.
 The statue weighs about 200 pounds and is four feet wide at the base, with height of seven feet. When presented to the worlds fair 1t stood on a base of gold but a copper substitute was used when it was taken out for exhibition. The original base was estimated to be worth at least $6O,000. It is seldom indeed that an actress is thus honored while living and the famous silver statue has done much to advertise Miss Rehan's fame over the land"

After a meteric career on the turf Tod Sloan is now in want. For a brief space he sped his brilliant way and was sud- denly Involved in darkness Now the youth who was once the favorite of kings and waited in their train; who was the admiration of every jockey in the land and half the women; who was the darling of sportsmen and fortunes favorite, and who drew a yearly salary $3O,OOO larger than that of the President of the United States, today would be glad to get a decent meal His story is one too often repeated when quick success overtakes weak character. Although his skill in riding horse did not diminish the. glitter of gold proved too strong for his eyes and he was ruled off the turf by stewards who believed they had evidence enough to convict. The position of a jockey is one subject to many tempta- tions, and Sloan fell.

T is rumored that Colonel William
 Cody, known far and wide as Buffalo Bill, has decided to quit the show bus mess He has spent twenty years in amusing multItudes of people with his exhibition of wild western scenes and now he seems to have reached the end of a remarkable career Although the popu- lace would probably go on attending his show for many years to come the colonel himself is growing old and 1t is now time for him to cease a strenuous life. There never was another enterprise like that of Buffalo Bill and even the time honored circus has not been more successful in att tracting patronage. Aside from its gen. era1 excellence was its originality. Al- though there have been many imitators not one has ever reached the dignity of rival. Now when the time for retiring has come Buffalo Bill has the satisfaction of knowing that he Is the most successful snowman of his class who ever went on the road In addition to distinction achieved beneath canvas 1t must be re- membered that Colonel Cody is an his- torical character and one of the most famous scouts who ever rode across west ern plains. Ills past adventures first gave Colonel Cody start in life and after that he was careful to extend his show until it became one of the largest tented enter prises that ever toured the country.
 Now when scientists are discussing spots on the sun and the probable exist ence of radium in it's composition it is interesting to consider just how little we do know about the great solar furnace Although astronomers have studied its glowing orb for centuries and heroic phil osophers were courageous enough in o1den times to ruin their eyes by staring at it without protecting lenses, yet exact infor- nation regarding Its appearance, form. and composition is almost as meagre now as two hundred years ago. Even today the widest and most divergent theories are advanced. For example, one man contends that the sun is a great furnace of glowing gases, unstable in character, and intensely hot. Another states with positive conviction that the sun is merely surrounded by an envelope of heated gases beneath which covering lies a very pleasant world, with moisture, heat, and atmosphere, and adapted to human habl- tation. No salamanders could live there, because the climate is too balmy. And in the matter of these very sun spots, there are nearly as many ideas concerning their nature and origin as there are spots. These mysterious phenomena have pug zied scientists for ages and within the past few days several new theories con- corning them have been advanced in the papers. After all there are few things that we do not know

THE AGUA FRIA SHOOTING
Both Parties Arraigned and Put
 Under Bonds.

Peter Clark the s. r., P. & P. brake man, and Juan Zapeda, who were inn plicated in shooting affray on the north-bound train at the Agua Fria tank on Tuesday morning were taken before Justice Burnett yesterday fo~ arraignment. Each was put under a bond of $500.
 The stories O: the shooting arc con fiicting. News Agent Thomas. whom one of the bullets narrowly missed, said that Zapeda got on the train at Phoenix with his wife and child. He paid their fare to Congress but did not pay his own. When the train reached
 the tank at ASua Fria and he had not paid the trainmen proceeded to put
 him off In the struggle he was seen to reach for a gun but he was shove4 off before he could get it. He fell and when he arose he drew his gun and commenced shooting. Clark also be-
 gan to shoot but his aim was not good
 In the course of the interchange of shots Clark was shot through the arm. A deputy sheriff from Congress was
 on the train. He put both parties un | der arrest and in doing SC held gun on Clark.
 | zapeda tells different story. He said he had paid the brakeman $2 for | his ride and shortly before the train | reached the tank the brakeman came around and wanted more. He refused | to pay and in the quarrel that followed the brakeman, he says, was the first to pull a gun and begin shooting.

SHEEP AND WOOL
Markets Are a Third Higher This
 Year Than Last.

The sheep men in the valley are feel ing very jubilant. Some of them have disposed of the larger part of the seas ons clip and at an advance of about 8 1-3 per cent over last years prices. Wool that now brings from He to 15&4 c per pound last year sold for from 10c to 111ac.
 But that is not all the reason the sheep men have to be happy. The quality of the wool averages better than it did last year and the flocks for the most part are in good condition. The price of mutton is also better than a year ago and those having fat sheep can dispose of them for market purposes at good figures.
 Phoenix is getting quite re2uta- ton as wool center and the industry is growing very rapidly. It is esti- mated that there are twenty-five per cent mere sheep here this season than year ago and the custom of driving to the valley to shear seems to be a growing one. Of all the wool centers that attract the buyers Phoenix is the earliest one. Buyers start their seas 9n's work here and the best buyers in the country, men representing millions are here during the season. Ten or a dozen of these gentlemen are now making Phoenix their headquarters and they are a nice little disbursing committee for the business interests of the town They pay the sheep men and the sheep men pay q lot of people who work for them and who have to buy groceries and clothing.
 The sheep men. too. are as well pleased as anybody with the fine climatic conditions that have prevailed during the present winter. There have been numerous storms and some of them severe ones but any losses they may have occasioned will be more than offset by the fine range condi- tons that are bound to prevail during the following year. And they feel also that after the valleys have had an other wet season the farmers will not be so much inclined to think the sheer responsible for previous lack of watc. supply in the mountain forests

LAND CASE
Board of Home Missions vs.
 T. A. Mtrquam.

The case nf the Board of Home Mis- sions of the Presbyterian church, cor poration, vs. Thomas A. Marquam, is a case of general interest, as the princi- ples involved will have a bearing upon lands and townsites throughout the dis trict of Alaska The story of the case is about as follows:
 The board of missions over 20 years ago instituted mission at Haines. They laid claim to 64O acres of land un- der an act of congress granting land to missions in Alaska to the extent of 64O acres. T. A. Marquam built upon a portion of this land and maintained act ual possession. The board of missions Is now suing to eject him.
 The board of missions claims that they moved upon this 6iO-acre tract and had the exterior lines marked by sur yeyor. The lines were later demarked by United States deputy surveyor, and the tract was fenced. They have maintained possession and have forbid den people squatting upon any portion of it, and have complied in good faith all the requirements Of the law neces- sary to enable them to legally move for and obtain patent.
 Marquam, the defendant, claims that the act by which the mission board claims tenure. does not confer 6iO acres, but only so much Of 64O acres aS may be actually and continuously occupied by the mission. That hardly 20 acres of this tract is or ever has been occupied and used by the mission. That the ied- eral government has refused 10 recog- ize the mission board, claim to the en- tire trcct, and that other sQuatters have likewise settled upon portions of the land. That the board is moving Co eject these squatters, but makes no effort Co recover from the government, regardless of the fact the government agents have refused to recognize the claims Of the mission board. Marquam also claims that the district court bus no jurisdiction in the ease. He asserts the entire control of this tract lies in the hands of the commissioner of the general land office and finally the sec retary of the interior.
