MISSED GREAT FORTUNE.
aOnth African CoIonist Was Five RHin. utes Too Late to Become Owner
 of De Beers Mines.

z. w. Salzman, the oldest South African colonist, missed by about five minutes the acquisition of a for tune of s35,ooo, ,ooo-the great De Beers diamond fields, now one of the richest mines in the world, says Stray Stories.
 He was surveying Griqualand when the original owner of the fa- nous farm, w. De Beers, held it. It was then about as barren and hope less-looking tract as any in Africa, and De Beers, with endless hard work from morning till night, and very little help, had all he. could do to scrape living out of the place.
 There was hardly any water, and grass was scarce and poor: the total profits only amounted to a pound or two per month. When MT. Salzman had completed his survey De Beers, tired of profitless toll on his patch of sunburnt desert, offered to let him have the farm in exchange for a waistcoat.
 MT. Salzman refused at first, and then said he would think about it.. He went to Cape Town later on, where he heard strange rumors of lucky finds in the district he had left.
 The next time he trekked that way he went 60 miles out of his road to see De Beers and clinch the bargain offered. He found a strangers wag- on and oxen "outspanned" at the farm when he arrived. It's owner had come only few minutes before and had already made an offer for the farm which was sErsE1nSe

 The excitement in the Roher family and the whole neighborhood was great, but Miss Roher remained as cool as to- day's breeze.

The trusts are beginning to find out that the people are on to them and their methods and they are up against the real thing. The decision of the Missouri supreme court last week has attracted much attention in all circles and has been the subject of discussion as to its probable effect on trusts. It seems to be the consensus of demo- cratic opinion in Washington" says a correspondent, ''that while the Mis- souri decision shows the earnestness of the democratic states in the matter of curbing the, trusts, yet it shows con- clusively that state legislation can never furnish the remedy for trust con- trol and for trust extermination. The members of the beef trust will simply pay their $5,0OO fine to the state of Missouri and proceed to the robbery of the people as before The democrats here feel that the only way to control a beef combine is to take the tariff off cattle and then put the clamps down 6O lAdL Au1lAod1L olSNA All freight rates will be an impossibility. The railroad trust must be killed be- fore the beef combine or the oil trust and lot of other trusts can be han died. It is also felt that the demo- cratic contention in the tariff debate in the next congress, which is sure to come. will be to remove the tariff from those articles controlled by the trusts and not enter into general revision of the tariff, which might disturb the business conditions of the country. Of course, those tariff schedules will never be touched so long as there is repub- lican congress and republican admin istratiou, but if the people see that the democrats do not intend to tear things all to smash, bu. to proceed conserva- lively about this business and swat only those trusts that are gouging the people the hardest, there will be no re- publican congress and no republican administration after the 4th Of March, 1905. It is felt here that that is to be the democratic battle cry in the next campaign and is going to win"
