Cheyenne, Wyo., March 26.-(Spe-

lieved to be a regularly planned and
executed scheme of robbery vas un-
earthed her today and special police
have been detailed by the mayor to
run down the perpetrators and bring
them to justice-at least check their

1t is believed that for several months
children from 5 to 13 years of age, and
working under the direction of older
persons, have gone from house to
house, begging for all sorts of charit-
able and humane purposes, from build
ing new churches to assisting needy
persons to get food or shelter, and
that they have reaped rich harvests.
the amounts collected being estimat-

DEED
AND CERTIFIED CHECK FOR M. e.
CHURCH SITE DEPOSITED IN
FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
Transfer Of Property Will Be Made In
Few Days-Boston Hotel Company
Preparing to Begin Work on Pro-
posed New Hotei-Church Meet
ing in a Day or Two.

Secretary J. B. Mckee of the Boston
Hotel company today deposited in the
First National bank of this city a deed
to the Ingersoll corner, at Fifth and
T~hornburgh streets, and a certified
check for the balance of the purchase
price of the site of the hotel at the
corner of Second and University ave.
nue., and formal transfer of the two
pieces of property will be made when
the district court shall have decided
the pending suit against the Union Pa
cific Railroad company to quiet the
title to the lots at Second and Uni.
versity avenue. upon which the First
Methodist church now stands.
When the deal was first made the
Boston Hotel company was given an
option upon the church site, with the
understanding that the hotel company
should buy what is known as the In
gersoll lots, at the corner of Fifth and
T~hOrnburgh streets, and transfer them
to the church for a site for a new
church building, in exchange for the
church lots, ON which the hotel com.
pany proposes to erect . $eQ,00 hotel.
That option would expire April 1, and
the deposit of the deed and certified
check in escrow was to protect the
hotel company from loss or annoyance
after that date.
A suit was filed some time ago in
the district court by Corlett Downey,
attorney for the trustees of the
church, to quiet the title to the site.
When the church was built the Union
Pacific company transferred the lots
to the trustees by quit claim deed, and
the suit is to satisfy the record ant
give the trustees of the church the
power to transfer the property. 1t is
believed the railroad company will
make no opposition. and that the suit
Monday. and it is not believed many
days will elapse until the title is
cleared and the formal transfer made.
Mr.. Mckee said this morning that
the thirty days limit for the removal
Of the old church from the hotel site
would expire April Is, but that he
would not push the church authori-
ties. He expected to have everything
ready for the beginning Of the excava.
tions for the hotel by the time the
frost was out Of the ground, and that
the removal of the building would be
accomplished by the time he was
ready to take formal possession of the
lot for hotel purposes. The trustees
of the church will probably meet Sat.
urday night OF Monday night and com
plete arrangements for moving the
building.
The fact that the deeds have been
deposited and the purchase price paid
will relieve whatever doubt there was
of the honesty Of purpose Of the hotel
company about the planned building
here. The hotel seems an absolute
certainty, and also a new church for
the Methodists.

REMARKABLE INCREASE
IN SALE OF LANDS.

A statement issued at the general
land office at Washington relative to
the cash sales Of public lands during
the first half of the present fiscal year
shows that there were 23,015 entries,
covering 1868, 613 acres, for which the
government received $4,747, 1858. AS.
compared with the corresponding per-
iod of last year a very remarkable in
crease is shown. This increase is due
largely to the operation of the social
ed timber and stone act. During the
last half of the fiscal year of 1902 there
were 7,476 entries, covering 1870
acres, for which the government re-
ceived $2,719,384.

Woodmen-Person Mention.

Bad Negro at the Dam-WOrk OF the
Woodmen-Person Mention.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, March 23.-John Childs,
a Negro, who has been working for
the Catawba Power company at the
dam, was brought to the city yesterday
afternoon. He was tied securely and
hauled in a wagon. He had been big
bad Negro, and had given great deal
of trouble. It seems that Childs had
been playing "skin" with some Of the
other darkies. He accused Gillian
watkins Of doing something wrong,
and the Negro fight followed. Childs
shot Watkins through the arm,. ana
while others were trying to subdue
him, his pistol, which was in his right
trousers pocket, was discharged. The
ball entered his left leg about three
inches above the knee and was taken
out about five inches below the knee on
the outside of the leg. Childs had a $5
bill in his pocket, and the discharge
set it on fire and it was almost COM
pletely destroyed.
walnut Camp Woodmen Of the
World did a very beautiful thing TO-
night. Mrs. Townsend Lee, the widow
Of a member of Walnut Camp, has en-
tered the hospital where an operation
will be performed in a few days. The
camp passed unanimously resolution
asking that this camp be permitted to
meet the hospital expenses. Mrs. Lee
has family of children, and the
Woodmen desired to put into practice
the teachings Of the order. Mr.. j. j.
Hull was appointed to represent the
camp, and to see that the members are
kept posted as to Mrs. Lees condition
and needs.
Rock Hill has several wide-a-wake
womens clubs, and the members are
always interested in club questions
and meetings. The several clubs here
have elected delegates to the South
Carolina Federation of Women's clubs
which will meet in Columbia on the 4th
of April. The following are the repre-
sentatives: Amelia Pride Book club

welt is seeking to force social and polit-
ical equality Of Negroes only upon the
white people Of the south. This Is
manifestly unfair and unjust. The ap-
pointment of Crum to the position for
which Col. Coward has been named,
would give ,us an opportunity to see
how It would work with the entire
country, and also as to whether the
president would be able to stand the
pressure that would follow such an act,
Or If he wants to carry out his alleged
principles and convictions in still
more emphatic way, we would suggest
that there would be. no objection from
this quarter if he would put a Negro
on the supreme court bench or take one
into his cabinet. Then he would prob
ably find before great while wheth-
er such a thing as social and political
equality Of the races Is really practi-
cable. and we almost feel ready to
guarantee him that If the people Of the
north will submit to the innovation to
the extent they seem to want the peo-
ple of the south to submit, there will
be but few further complaints from this
quarter. We will just shoulder. our
burden of humiliation and have moth
ing further to say.

FACTS AND FANCIEs.

1T Although there has been more or
less plowing. done in different parts Of
York county during the past few
weeks, the blackjack" section is still
comparatively untouched. The low ly-
ing fiat lands here are still too wet for
the plow and the people down that
way are worried. They have more to
fret about than Is the case with other
sections. The grass has been growing
luxuriously, and the whole country Is
Elsewhere this would not be especially
Objectionable; but grass turned under
in the blackjacks sours the land and
increases the difficulty Of getting a
crop started. OF course everybody is
wanting a spell Of dry weather now:
but this weather will be just a little
more acceptable to the blackjack peo-
pie than to most others.
3B' Horses are horses these days. Only
a few years ago fine looking, service
able horses were sold on this market
at from $40 to- $50 per head. OF course,
there were higher priced horses, but
$125 would buy an extra good animal.
There are horses to be bought at from
$40 to $50 now; but they are not much
horses. They are fit only for the soap
maker. A horse that would bring $125
three years ago is now worth all the
way from SITS to $3.50, an extra good
horse is worth $500. Horses are not
only high here; but they are high in
Atlanta, st. Louis and other markets.
It was stated to the reporter day or
two ago as a fact, that Identical horses
that were bought on the markets men
toned three years ago for $3.50, and
used since at livery and other work,
may be sold today on those same mar
kets, provided they are in good con-
dition-sound and fat-at as much as
5000 or more.
s3r "There is not nearly so much mon
ey in selling fertilizers nowadays as
there used to be-" said an old dealer to
the reporter a few days ago. II re-
member along in the seventies when
the dealer used to get $65 and $40 ton
for fertilizers. But, Of course, that was

day. It was genuine Peruvian guano,
remember the analysis; but believe
it ran as high as Is per cent. in am
monia, and it would make cotton grow
so fast that you could almost see the
stalks expanding. But manufactured
goods were also high in those days. I
have known some. Of these to sell at
$50 and $65. In those days, however,
the dealers made long profits. They
frequently had margins of SO and SIS
a ton. Now it Is all different. It Is
a rare thing that dealer Of these times
ever gets more than a 81 ton for
handling guano. He does not necessar-
lily have to buy the stuff but so far
as he Is concerned the transaction is
equilavent to a purchase. Unless he Is
financially responsible, he can not do
business at all, and before he can
handle fertilizers he must give his
note to cover every ton he buys. The
note is without interest until maturity,
it is true; but when the time comes to
settle, he must settle whether he has
collected from the people to whom he
has sold or not. On paper 1t looks like
pretty fat thing to sell 700 or 1000
tons of fertilizer during season at 81
per ton profit without having to put up
any actual cash; but when some two or
three customers fail to come to time
with their purchases, you will see
where you are at. AS to whether the
man who uses commercial fertilizers
make any big things, is for him to tell;
but there is certainly not great deal
in the transaction for the middle-man
dealer"

A cow belonging to Mrs. Jas. G.

it is to the effect that a few weeks

ago the COW began to show symptoms
Of uneasiness, and a disposition to at
tack any and everything that came IN
