ONE QUIET DAY IN JACKSON
Nothing Occurs I'm village to
Break the Humdrum of
Life.

JACKSON. Ky, May ~3t.-Sunday was a
quiet day in Jackson. Save for the in
spectlon in the morning, an unusually large
number of curious visitors from the county
and a search of the jail, the hours passed
mo~notonously for the troops. Saturday
night was without special incident. Fear
ing that a weapo had been passed to Jett
or White by some visitor, Colonel VIII.
liams took the precaution to have every
cell in the jail examined. While nothing
was found the police felt easier when the
search was completed.
Nothing had occurred to arouse Colonel
Williams suspicious. but IT was remem-
bered that when Jett was in jail here last
winter under a peace BOND for $1,000, a
crowbar and a Ratchet were taken to him
and he found no difficulty I'm liberating him
self. He was not rearrested or reincarcer-
ated, While the probabilities are against
his securing anything as large as n crow
bar or even as large as a saw, 1t Is be-
lieved that he would not hesitate to attempt
to saw out and rush the guards IL the
opportunity offered. He is noted for daring
acts and among his element is regarded
as a hero, He displayed remarkable cour-
age a few weeks ago when he plunged into
the river during a freshet and saved the
life OF Jailer Spencer's son, who was drown
ing. Due to a misunderstanding, Jett and
White have been occupying the same cell.
Colonel Williams ordered the men to be
kept separated.

NEW YORK, May 3~1.-(Special Telegram
The New York World will print tomorrow
the following editorial: THE tale of the
western foods grows with the telling.
Hundreds are dead. thousands are home
less and destitute; cities are filled with
refugees. Industry for the moment is
paralyzed. There is a call for help. The
acting secretary of war has ordered tents
in Fort L~eavenworth and Fort Riley to be
placed at the service OF the homeless and
army rations to be turned over for their
use; but the needs of the sufferers far
transcend the power OF the government to
relieve. There remain in the hands Of
Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Mar.
Unique and West Indian Island Relief FUN
committee. a balance OF $50, 264,12, originally
subscribed for the sufferers from the erup-
ton Of Mont Pelee and La Soufriere. Con-
tributors to that fund have been asked
whether they would care to have a portion
Of their gifts returned 10 them. Why could
not this fund be used for the flood suffer.
ersY Probably there is not one OF those
who added to II who would not heartily
approve its use in this emergency. Prompt
aid is double aid; this money would go

The importance of mining in the
United States can be realized when
statistics show results. During
the calendar year 1902, this conn
try produced $SO,OOO,OOO in gold
and ST., ,757,575 in silver, making
grand total of s151, 1,757,575.
Among the states producing this
output, Oregon comes ninth in the
list with S1,937.03 to her credit
While these figures are large, the
production of wealth from the
mines will continue to grow larger,
being increased by the many new
properties that are being opened
up. In Oregon, the mining indus
try has great room for growth, for
great treasures lie hidden in the
earth awaiting development by
capital.

A special session of the legisla.
ture has been called by Governor
Chamberlain to convene on Dec

of the correction of the tax law,
and it is very likely that the law
makers will be engaged for several
days. The repeal Of the $500 ex-

and also the portage railway appro-

The month that passes without
heralding a new cure for consump.
ton is an exceptional one in this
era of strenuous effort in the realm
of medical science. The latest OF
these cures is heralded, not by a
physician or bacteriologist, but
by Russian mining engineer, Ia
gOranski, to whom the secret was
bequeathed by an old foreman in
the mines of Siberia, who is said
to have tested it upon Siberian ex-
lies for years with the most salts
factory results. How much the
bracing air of that section and the
outdoor life of the subjects had to
do in rendering the cures effica.
clous can only be known when the
is tried in other localities.
Zagoranski will try to secure the
prize which he had heard was
offered by John d. Rockefeller for
the cure of consumption, before
the nature of his remedy. |
The Rockefeller prize was not |
offered for the cure of consumption
alone, but for pathological research
along various lines; it is not
doubted, however, that satisfactory
demonstration of the cure of con-
will be munificently re-
Moreover, a humane man
u possession of such a secret
would find it impossible to with
lold it long from the pale host that
would come to him for relief. If
he Siberian cure is genuine it will
ot long remain a secret. The
7orld has advanced too far in the
umanities to permit that.-Ore-

FATAL WORDS.
The slip That Doomed Major Andre
and Saved West Point.

and Saved west Point.
At Tarrytown there is a monument
surmcunted by a bronze figure ever on
duty thar marks the spot where on
Sept. %. 1880, a man sprang. as IL
were, out OF the ground, seized the bri-
die of the travellers horse and at the
same instant demanded a halt. Two
other men Joined the first. and TO these
three the traveller offered the authority
for John Anderson to pass on public
business and signed by the major gen
eral commanding West Point.
For one moment the pass sufllced.
Then there was doubt. In that moment
of hesitation the travellers eyes rested
upon a coat that one of the men wore
which he had obtained while n prisoner
not long before. and. recognizing the
garb of the Hessian soldiers attached
to the British army. the traveller on
cluded hastily that he had fallen
among friends instead OF foes. II see
you belong to the army down below. as
I do" he remarked. with a slight GEES
ture of the head toward the river.
Fatal words! They sealed the doom
of Adjutant Major General John Al
DIRE of the British army. He was
quickly dismounted and searched with
out result. and still there was DELAY.
Some latent sense of required vigilance
melted these humble militiamen to re-
newed search of the travellers person.
West Point was saved.
