PLEASING SURPRISE.

Occasionally a man is surprised by
finding himself rich through his own
ership Of something which he had not
thought valuable. Oftener he is sur
prised to find himself poor through his
ownership of something which he had
thought valuable. 1t begins to appear
that France. which owns much of the
Great Sahara Desert, may be much
better off in such ownership than has
been thought. The explorations of NJ.
Foureau have been encouraging. There
is no linnitless sea of sand in the Sahara.

One Of the strongest jails in the coun-
try is In Graham county, Arizona, in
the town of Clifton. This community
is situated in a valley on one side of
which rises a hill composed principally
of quartz rock. When the county au-
ttlorities desired to have a place for
combining prisoners it was decided to
make an excavation in the hillside,
which was done by blowing out the
rock with explosives. The opening was
made merely large enough for one man
to pass through without difficulty,
while the interior was excavated like a
coal mine and divided by natural par
Millions into four cells. No effort was
made to finish the interior of the cells,

Jagged condition caused by the bas1-

holes were made in the hillside, also by
means of explosions, and the openings
secured by bars of steel about an inch
in diameter, driven into holes in the
rock and cemented. The entrance was

1t is said that the man who got the
contract for the shorthand work at the
Coal commissions sessions got a good
thing. His name is Hanna, and he is
a son of e. P Hanna, solicitor for the
Navy department, and assistant to
Captain Lernley in the Schley court of
inquiry. Young Hanna holds gov
eminent position, but has an arrange
n1ent by which he gets leave when ne
gets big contract for reporting work.
He made a very low rate for the COM
missions work, knowing that reports
of the hearings would be in great de-
mand among the attorneys for the rail-
road companies and the miners. Alto
gether he furnished thirty sets of the
daily hearings to as many outside par
ties. charging at the rate of u cents a
sheet. There were something like TO-
900 pages Of testimony, so a little fgur-
ing will show that Hanna could pay
good deal of money for assistance and
still earn more money on the job than
any Of the commissioners.

ISLANDER on TIE TOWN.

While we are frank to admit that
Butler is not wholly free from the
evils of gaming, drinking and other
offences against the law, none OF
which has theapproval Of The TINES,
we can truthfully say that they are
carried on in a less degree than ever
before, and assert that we have one
of the most orderly, temperate, law
abiding towns OF any it's size In the
whole state OF Missouri. 1t takes a
great many kinds Of people to make
up a cosmopolitan city the size Of
Butler, and we cannot expect them
all to have the same tastes, inclina-
tions, disposition and morals. Vice
always has and always will exist, and
it is the duty OF all good citizens to
labor to reduce it to its minimum.
But it is the height Of folly to make a
sweeping denunciation Of the town
and its officers because few tin-horn
gamblers hide in a back room away
from the public streets and play
cards, or some old bloke successfully
works his wits to secure a drink OF
whiskey on Sunday, as was recently
done by an anonymous writer in the
Democrat, and which was copied as
a sweet morsel by papers in other
towns.
The editor of The TINES has been
a resident Of Butler for over 26years
the greater part of which time hehas
been conducting this paper, this has
given us full opportunity to know
and we do know and assert that the
evils complained OF are less now than
they have ever been during those
long years, and it is an Infamous
SANDER to send out the report to the
world that RIGHTEOUSNESS lewdness
gambling and intemperance are un.
restrained. There are so lew infringe
ments OF the city ordinances that
not a dozen citizens could be selected
atrandom that could name the police
Judge offhand, and that official
would starve to death had he to de
pend upon his fees from that Office
for support. To see drunken man
on our streets is a very rare occur
renee, and the only need of a marshal
or policeman is as precautionary
measure.
We again assert that we are not
apologists for law breakers, neither
are we 80 hidebound as to strain at
gnats, and we will 60 further to cor
rect any violations Of the law than

iect oil so grave an Importance as thu
