WANTS STATE TO OWN PARK.

Colonel d. r. Anthony.the veteran
newspaper man of Kansas, who
spoke at the Baxter Springs reun-
ion last Friday and at that time
stated the Camp Logan grounds
should be owned by the state, is
still talking for state Ownership of
the park as may be seen by the fol-
lowing special from Topeka:
Colonel d. r. Anthony, of Leaven-
worth wants the state to buy the re-
union grounds at Baxter Springs
and maintain them as public
park and a place where the old SOL
diers can hold a reunion every year.
He claims that it is the best natural
park in Kansas; that the reunion
there is the largest thing of it's kind
in the West and that the state
should buy the ground and help to
perpetuate the enterprise.
The reunion association in charge
of the Baxter grounds has griev-
ance against the G. A. r. depart
ment of Kansas for it's refusal to
supply it with tents. Under state
law the department is authorized
to loan tents to reunions, but when
ever the Baxter reunion applies tt
is turned down. The tents are sup
piled to the smaller reunions over
the state. The Baxter association
will ask the Legislature next year to
place the tents in charge of some
other state board or officer so it can
get fair deal.

YELLOW HAMMER IS DEAD.

Yellow Hammer, the noted Mo-
doc Indian, was struck by light.
ming at Oswego last Tuesday and
instantly killed.
Yellow Hammer was a good In
dian before he died and was one OF
the features of the big Baxter reun-
ion, where he annually gathered
the remnant of his tribe and held
the familiar war dances of his peo-
pie in big Coglizer tent to the ad-
miration and enjoyment of thous.
ands of visitors.
Yellow Hammer was of royal
blood, being younger brother of
Shack Nasty Jim and fret cousin to
Princes Mary. When he was
brought here from the lava beds of
Oregon, after his tribe had been al.
most obliterated in their war with
the United States, Yellow Hammer
soon became reconciled to civiliza-
ton, threw off his blanket and
feathers, and took up the white
man's burden with store clothes,
a plug hat and a white woman for a
wife. He joined the Quakers at first,
but said they were not quick enough
for him, and 80 he went into farm.
ing and horse trading, with an &C.
casional venture in the Wild West
show business.
The deceased married a white
woman of good family and was an
affectionate father, a kind and in
dulgent husband, fair christian, a
good medicine man and a moderate
drinker. In appearance he resem-
bled Paderewski and like him was
quite efficient on the Indian drum
or tom tom. He was always pleas
ant. affable, cheerful and great
favorite with the children; he was
remarkable for his industry and in
defatigable energy, always willing
to work and never borrowing or
asking a dollar in cearity. He set
an example many others might fol-
low and will be missed by his Ma
ton more than any other man in it.

AMERICANS BADLY
 TREATED IN MEXICO
EMPLoYES OF VARIOUS RAIL ROADS ARRESTED AND lMPRIS- OWED FOR LONG PERIODS ON ACCOUNT OF WREcks.

Washington, December 22.-Complaints having reached the state department from many sources during the past few years that American citizens employed in vari- ous capacities on the railroads of Mexico fequently had been arrested and inn prisoned in that republic on the charge of criminal negligence in railway wrecks. homicides, etc., and held for long peri ods without trial, the United States am-' Secretary Hay to examine into these cases and bring the subject to the atten- ton of the Mevican government, with view to ameiorating the conditions as they appear to exist. The Mexican de- throughout the republic advising against the arrest and imprisonment of such rail way employees, except on a strong pre- sumption of guilt, and directing them in all cases to expedite the judicial proceed ings as rapidly as possible. The provi- sion for the release of the accused on bail also is made wherever the nature of the offense will permit it.
 Ambassador Clayton has reported to the state department that of forty-three cases of American railway men arrested since June g. three have been disposed of and of three released on bail they fled to America. The other cases are still pend ing It is observed that of the forty three persons arrested. fourteen were ar rested for offenses not connected with the movement of trains and the percentage of arrests of Americans employed by railroads in Mexico is only .o33. while that of Mexicans is .o46, and all other nationalities .o63

ARMY OFFICER MISSING.
Lieut.. Floyd c. Miller Disappeared on
 the 4th and Cannot Be Found.

New York, December 22.-Officers of the army are endeavoring to find Sec ond Lieut.. Floyd c. Miller of the First infantry, who, while engaged with troops on guard at the tomb of Presi- dent Mckinley in the West Lawn cemetery, near Canton, O., disappeared on the 4th and has not been seen or heard from since.
 There is no known reason for his conduct, as he was not involved in any apparent trouble, and was supposed to be satisfied with his duties. Lieuten- ant Miller was Q native of Ohio, and was an ordinary seaman in the navy from May 31 to August 31, 1898.
 In September, 1899, he enlisted as a private in the Sixteenth infantry and showed such proficiency that in July, 1901, ne was commissioned as second lieutenant in the First infantry. If he does not report within three months he will be recorded as a deserter.

TO BUILD NEW MILL.
H. H. Potle of New York Will Under
 take to Finance the Matter.

Asheville, N. C., December 22.-H. H. Polte, member of the firm of Polte & Co.,, bankers and brokers of New York, has undertaken the task of financing the new cotton mill to be built at Marshall, charter for which was recently granted.
 The mill, which will be located on the French Broad river, will have an equipment of 10,u00 spindles and a full complement of looms for the manu fracture of sheetings. An innovation in south orn cotton manufacturing will be the importing of working people from the crowded tenement districts of New York city to operate the mill.
 MT. Potle anticipates no difficulty in inducing a sufficient number of these people to leave the unpleasant en- vironments in the metropolis for a life of comparative freedom in the noun tains of North Carolina

MERCER FORMED ID STOP COMPETITION Brief of State of Minnesota is Filed in Supreme Court ASSIGNMENT OF ERRORS Northern Securities Company, It Is Said, Was Not Organized for Pur-
 pose of Consolidating Lines
 of the Two Companies.
ASSIGNMENT OF ERRORS

Washington, December 22.-The brief of the state of Minnesota in the suit of that state against the Northern Securities company was filed in the supreme court of the United States today by Attorney General Knox and Messrs. Mum and G. B. Wilson. The brief is document of 176 pages pages, and it's authors con tend that the merger of the Northern Pa ciic and Great Northern railroad com panies into the Northern Securities com pany was for the purpose of stifing com petition
 After stating that the action was brought to enjoin the consolidation of the two railroad companies, because they are parallel and competing lines within the state of Minnesota, and that the cir cult court of the United States for the eighth circuit decided the case contrary to the contention of the state, the attor- neys present their assignment of errors on the part of the circuit court.
 Twenty-nine Assignments.
 There are twenty-nine of these assign ments, but the principal ones are that the decree is erroneous in holding that the Northern Securities company was not organized for the purpose of consolidating the two parallel railroad companies; in holding that the ownerships of the stock of the two railway companies by the Northern Securities company does not amount to a consolidation within the meaning of the acts set forth in appel ants plll In holding that the Northern G.. 4 d. F.. trol the two railway companies and in not holding that the Northern Securities company was intended by it's incorpora- tors to be, and is device for evading the laws of the state. In the course of the relation of the facts of the consoida- ton of the two roads. reference is made to the joint circular letter of the freight agents of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern roads on January g, 1902
 Wthdraws Competition.
 It is also declared that the effect of this circular letter was to withdraw all com petition for business between the roads within the state of Minnesota and to compel the shipper to ship freight via the road having the shortest route, or else pay to the road having the longer route a greater freight rate, and not only" they say. was all competition, so far as rates were concerned, withdrawn or de- stroyed. but all effort to secure business and all the benefits resulting therefrom to shippers on the line of said railroads within the state of Minnesota were abso- lutely destroyed"
 They conclude by calling attention of the magnitude of the case and say
 "The judgment of this court thereon must determine whether sovereign state of this United States is powerful to in- dicate the majesty of its own laws"

TO WEAR THE ERMlNE.

Among the candidates for judicial
honors at the hands of the Democratic
voters of Baltimore City, we note the
name of H. Arthur Stump, son of John
Stump, of Cecil county, the younger
brother of the late Associate Judge Fred

practiced in Baltimore and has attained
an enviable position in his profession.
The Baltimore Sun of July + saws:
"Mr. II. Arthur Stump Yesterday arv
nounced his intention of entering the
Democratic primaries as a candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Bench. The candi-
dates for the judgeships, under the reso-
lutions passed by the State Central Com
mittce on Thursday, are to be selected by
the Crawford county system, and this
decision determined Mr.. Stump to be-
come a candidate, feeling that the selection
selves. He has had MANY offers of sup
port, as it has been generally known for
some time that he held under considera-
ton .he ACCESSIBILITY of entering the
field
"Judge Dennis and Judge Wright, whose

ments of both of these gentlemen have

His many friends in this county will be
