COLE YOUNGER ONCE
FAMOUS AS A BANDIT
Brief Chat With the Man Whose Very Name Made
People Quake

tall, erect. square shouldered man,
apparently about ffty-hve years old,
somewhat too stout for his height. but
retaining every evidence of strength and
agility-such is Cole Younger, the last
survivor of three Youngers who were
sent to the Saltwater prison a score of
years ago for daring deeds of outlawry
which have made their names house
hold words. and the very mention OF
whose names was one time sufficient TO
cause hearts to Quake In three States.
Standing in front of the Metropolitan
Hotel watching the parade of the show
Of which he and Frank James, brother
of Jesse James. are the proprietors, go
BY Cole Younger was recognized by none
of the hundreds of people who passed
Nothing could be less suggestive of the
famous bandit than Cole Younger.
His bald head, neat attire, and quiet
manner. coupled with face betokening
the generosity for which he is famous,
bespoke the business man or the success

few DAYS.
His peaked SLOUGH hat of modest brim

but did not give hint that beneath it
was man who once rode the prairies
in full cowboy costume bent on mar
auding expeditions which were the talk
OF continent
Only the eyes indicate the boldness and
hardlhood Of the man. They are OF pc
culiar light blue which borders on the
grey. and move with a quiekness and in
tensitr which shows that the brain be-
hind them is capable of quick and de-
| cisive action in any emergency, and that
the nina controlled by the brain is cap
able OF accepting any fate with unflinch-
ing fortitude.
Cole Younger is a retiring. unostenta-
tious man, but his career is so well
known that it would be foolish modesty
for him to refuse to discuss it, and he
does not hesitate TO answer any ques-
lions that may be asked him about the
stormy days of his career or the long
years when he and his brothers, Jim and
Bob, were the model prisoners in the
steel cages at Saltwater. Speaking OF
his experiences since he left prison, he
said
II have been more gratifed than IL is

| hundreds and given me the hand Of con-
graduation upon my release. The peo-
| pie Of Minnesota have been especially
kind and I have never heard a harsh
word rom any OF them.

Station Construction.

In the matter of the construction of
stations. just at present, it seems that
the Pennsylvania is leading all other
railroads in the United States. Count
Ing tunnels leading TO stations and the
necessary yards, statements issued show
that the big Keystone system is going
to spend, and is now spending. $4,000, 600
OF this amount Washington is going to
get about $1,000. 900, and New York abou.
S12. 100000.
With the Baltimore and Ohio the Penn
sylvania is constructing the new union
station which is to cost, when completed,
about $4,000, 900, and the property own
ers Of the National Capital who have
ground near the site of the proposed
station have already received several
million dollars for the ground. Many
Of the remaining millions are to be
spent here in wages. and naturally this
money Is going into the Golfers of local
merchants.
In Washington. however, the work is
in the preliminary stages. In New York
the real work OF construction for the
there is going on rapidly.
This station when completed is to be
one Of the largest and finest in the
world, the trains entering 1t through
tunnels which are to reach It under the
Hudson River and the East River, thus
connecting the Long Island system with
the main system which now has its
terminals in Jersey City.
The site OF The vast building is to be
in the squares bounded by Seventh and
Ninth Avenues and Thirty-first an6
Thirty-1fth Streets. The Pennsylvania
is said to have paid out no less than
81 100000 for this site alone. On the
ground there are four hundred houses
including rows of conventional four
story brick and stone structures, num-
bers of fats, three churches, a hospital
and a home for boys
The long tunnel which is to cross
Manhattan Island after passing under
the Hudson and under the East River to
almost the center of Long Island, a
distance of several miles, is to reach
the Manhattan side at Thirty third
Street. At this point several hundred
men are now at work sinking the shafts
to meet the tunnel. They have already
gone down fifty feet, the excavation be-
ing nearly a hundred feet in diameter.
According to expectations, the big sta
ton and the tunnels are going to be in
operation In about eighteen months.
A tunnel is included IN the plans for
the Washington union station, but II Is
not going to be anything like the New
York one in size.

Hurting the Railroads.

Local railroad men say that the
Brown corner in cotton, which has
forced prices up higher than they have
been since the war, is indirectly injur-
ing the railroads. The price Of cotton
has become thigh that many mills are
closing, rather than pay so much for
raw material, and the closing move
ment seems to be general in the South.
The result of this is that the shipments
Of cotton are falling off, and the rail-
roads are losing in freight. Just where
the matter is going TO end is a problem
agents are now trying very hard TO
solve. The bears in the market an
nounce one day that they are in posi-
ton to smash the corner, and they try
to drive prices down by throwing out a
few thousand bales of cotton, which
Brown and his associates nonchalantly
absorb. and prices go soaring again. II
seems that Brown-once Poker Brown
of Greenville," Miss.-is master OF the
situation. and that shipments are going
to be few for several more weeks

CHINESE OFFICIALS AND

The Chinese minister. Sir ChentunE
LANG Cheng, and other officials OF The
legation here. take an optimistic view
of the outlook for fitting national ex-
hibit by China at the ST. Louis Worlds
Fair of 1904 and do not anticipate any
trouble over the final Official arrange
ment of the plans incidental thereto.
Dispatches from Pekin today reported
some depression among Chinese mer-
chants who had been asked to make
exhibits at the fair, and represented
them as declaring they would feel like
prisoners II they were compelled to
abide by the regulations intended 10 ap-
ply TO them under the prevailing 'mmi-
grafton law requirements
AS q matter OF fact the negotiations
are still In formative state, 1t was said
by a legation official today, but 10
doubt is felt OF an ultimate arrange
ment satisfactory to both governments.
Minister Chentung has returned from
his trip to New England. and has already
taken up negotiations. through the State
Department, with Secretary Cortelyou-
4 ne natter now mas Charge III the Oe-
partment OF Commerce and Labor. OF the
immigration Bureau. by which the sub
ject of Chinese immigration IS officially
I handled. BY arrangement with these
officials, II Is proposed 10 admit 70 this
country the Chinese artisans who are
to erect at St Louis a government
building for the exhibit of the Celestial
Empire.
The special regulations suggested to
govern the admittance of these work
men propose close Identification by In
diyidual statistics and photographs;
supervision OF travelling plans and abode
during the continuance of the exposi-
tion. and deportation upon the conclu-
sion OF the Worlds Fair. To these re-
Quirements the Chinese merchants have
made strong protests and have declared,
according TO the Pekin dispatch, that
they will withdraw their intended ex-
hibits unless the requirements for ad-
hitting their native wOrkmen are made
less rigorous. In the view taken by
! legation officials here, the present nego-
tiations will Offset such opposition and
make the Chinese exhibit as great a
success as that of any other nation.

The total exports to British North

full fiscal year seem likely to be about
s125. OOO. 900. against s112, 600, 900 in 1902.
s1O7 600. goo in 1901, and s97. 600. 900 in
1900.
The total exports TO British North
America from the United States are a
little more than double the imports into
the United States from that section,
and the growth in exports between 1888
and 1903 has been twice as great as the
growth in imports.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by cstarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.

A Rural Police System.

The Georgia Agricultural Society,
in session in Athens last week, raised
the question of the advisability of
establishing thorough and efficient
rural police system in Georgia. The
matter was suggested in the annual
address of the President, Mr.. White
head, who gave as reason for the
abandonment of the farms by many
intelligent and progressive men, the
inadequate protection to their
women, under the present condition
of rural affairs. Judge Emory
Speer, who was present as a visitor,
was called up to speak, and protest.
ing his incompetency to discuss
agricultural topics, proceeded to
develop the rural police idea.
Among other things, he said that
the greatest danger to the rural dis
tricts was the presence of scattering
negroes of a peculiarly brutal char
acter, descendants of the lowest and
most beastly of African tribes.
These negroes, he said, were
scarcely more responsible than wild
animals, and needed to be held un-
der the strictest surveillance. The idea
of holding them in check by means
of one sheriff for each county, and
an occasional deputy is absurd, and
what the county needs is an efficient
patrol, patented after the Texas
ranger system. He thought there
shoul,. .e two or more of these rang
ers, or rural police for each township
in county and the system should be
so developed that criminals could be
followed from the moment of the
commission of their crime until their
arrest. He suggested that such a
system would go far to doing away
with all apparent necessity for mob
law, and the rural districts could be
made as safe as the towns. The
judges remarks produced profound
impression upon the society and there
is probability that the rural police
idea will soon become an issue in
Georgia as it should in all other
Southern States.

enter the Democratic prinsary next
year (19O4) that they win vote for
bill that will refer the question Of
dispensary or no dispensary back to
the people, and give them the right
to say whether these conditions shall
continue. at present the people
have no voice. They can put dis
pensary or grant q beer privilege
wherever they please and you are
powerless to prevent it. This is not
Democracy, and further than the
Republican party would go when
they have any opposition.
Now who will lead2 Organize
and the leader will develop. The
only persons who seem to be giving
the matter any special attention at
present are Mr.. T. j. LaMotte, Col
umbia, and Mrs. Il. S. Herbert,
Orangeburg. They are sound on all
questions connected with it and have
already performed valuable service
for temperance and prohibition.
There are many others, and az rule
you can rely on all of the Christian
ministers of the State, the college
presidents and professors and teach
ers in the schools. Don't imagine
that the teachers are not with you
because their schools get a small
pittance from the profits of the dis
pensary. believe that nine-tenths
of them as we'll as the county superin-
tendents and schools trustees are
hamed to receive and use this blood
money for the education of the chill
dren. Don't delay now, but organize
at once. The politicians have an
idea that "good roads" is now the
horse to ride for the next campaign.
This is well enough, but not near
so important as to check the whiskey
evil. Go to the good roads meetings
and enlist your friends in your or
ganization and as soon as you begin
to make your influence felt the
politicians will be asking to get into
the anti-dispensary wagon. You
will remember how some good men
who were bitterly opposed to the
Reform movement in 1890, when the
Reform movement captured the
Democratic machinery of the State,
these men began to drop in one by
one and some of them became loud

would ask the individual prohibit
tion Democrats to cooperate with
the Governor, the State officials, the
city and town officials in the enforce
ment of all the laws of the State,
especially the dispensary law and the
anti-gambling law and the law against
carrying concealed weapons, because
it is the duty of every good citizen
to do this, and then 1 believe the
Governor, if he finds that majority
of the people of the State desire to
have the dispensary question referred
back to them after they have tried it
under four administrations, that he
will use his influence to have it done.
