treasurer of Ramsey county.
1t is always a source of pleasure to me
to be able to bear testimony to the hon
esty and intelligent efficiency of any pub

Picks Metzdorf Before Foot
Oct. %, 1902, the Pioneer Press said
Of Mr.. Metzdorf and the character of
administration of the Office that ''the
present treasurer possesses all these
qualifications to high degree" refer
ring to the necessity of having man
in the Office who can be relied upon to
care for the taxpayers money. On
Sept. 81, 1904, the Pioneer Press, COM
menting on the Republican nominal
tions just made, says of Mr.. Foot, the
Republican opponent of Mr.. Metzdorf:
The Republican nomination for treas
urer is less satisfactory, but the voters
have in Peter Metzdorf a candidate whose
conduct of the business of the treasurer's
Office has been such as to deserve general
confidence and Endorsement.

pClkuClAt AChSpopC1I 1cau Ills IL o1S VI
Mr.. Metzdorf Sept. 80, 1904
County Treasurer Peter j. Metzdorf is
the Democratic candidate for reelection.
He has served two terms with credit to
the county, and on the basis of efficient
and honest service deserves the confidence
of the voters. He has been in every way
a competent and faithful official.
This forecasts the overwhelming ma
jority that will be received by Mr..
Metzdorf in the present campaign, it
being difficult to find business man
or other person with a knowledge of
affairs who will vote for Foot after
hearing the particulars of the charges
made by E. L. Murphy, the member of
the board of public works.

CHARGES Intimidation

ST. JOSEPH, NO., Oct. 2s.-Prose- :
cutting Attorney L. C. Gabbert, a DEM
ocrat, today announced that he would
issue warrants for the arrest of many
negroes who he claims had been ille-
gally registered. Several warrants
were served and bail was furnished by
Republican leaders of this city. The
Republicans make the charge that the
Democratic offieeholders are using this
means to intinidate hundreds of ELI
gible voters who would ordinarily cast
their ballots for the Republican ticket.
The campaign here is the most vigor-
Gus in years.

an Endorsement from Mr.. Warner is
declared to be equivalent to the place.
While it is not understood that John

man as to the office of state superin-

proposed, if elected, to take the office
of state superintendent of public in

hold That the guano consists, in
a measure, of these decomposed car
casses would appear from the aver
age composition of good guano as
compared with the composition of
more recent accumulation OF pure
excreta
At first thought one might imagine
that heavy rains would wash the ac-
cumulation into the sea but when it
is remembered that rain never falls
on certain sections of the coast OF
Peru it is readily seen that the ex-
creta remains undisturbed by nature.
In speaking of this phase of the sub
ject, a famous professor has observ-
ed 1T is the dryness of the climate
which has permitted the guano to
accumulate on these coasts. When
we reach a region which from local
causes. the dews are heavier, and the
rains more frequent, the accumula-
ton ceases: cold water dissolves at
least two-flfths of the guano in the
state in which it reaches us. A sim
gle day OF English rain would dis
solve and carry into the sea a con-
siderable portion Of one of the larg-
est accumulations: a single year Of
English weather may cause many Of
them to entirely disappear"
The rapidity with which the ex-
creta Of the sea fowls accumulates
is almost inconceivable to the minds
of dwellers in this section of the
country, and one single example may
serve to give one some adequate con-
ception Of the rapid accumulation.
A small barren rocky isle, Smiths Is

bare by ships twenty-five years ago,
and it was thought that it would be
useless to visit the isle again until
fifty or a hundred years elapsed. Re-

who has passed a considerable time
at the deposits, may not be uninter-

The deposits of Lobos de Afuera
having remained unworked for some
years and the birds having become
reassured, they returned to their old
haunts. I paid my first visit to these
islands during March of 1879. The
pelicans were then assembled togeth-

The nectst, consisting of a circle of

peared to have been constructed more
with the view of indicating the limit
of each pelican's property, or of pre-
venting the eggs from rolling down
into the sea, than Of forming COM
Portable receptacles for newly-hatch-
ed chicks. They were situated side

so, in fact that when any one Of the
parent birds moved from it's sitting

weak TO get out of what appeared

however, they began to move about,
but limited their peregrinations to
the deposit on which they had been
hatched, unconseiously facilitating,
in this manner, the work of the load

which could not fly, vomited up in

The party consisted OF Messrs. G..
l.. Salley clerk of court; T. w. Zeig-
ler, N. N. Hayden T. R. McCants,
J. G. Smith, c. A. Stroman, A. D.
Fair, F. I. Gates and L. G. Way. A
party from Chesterfield county and a
party from Marion county have sig
nifed their intention OF coming to
the city at an early date to look at
the guano. The gentlemen from
Orangeburg yesterday said that they
were satisfied that it was the genuine
article.
Several days will b. ~ecessary to
unload the cargo of the Condor as
the men below are unable to labor
for any great length of time on ac-
count of the penetrating odor of am:
monia. In spite of the fact that
wind sails are provided. the men were
unable to stay in the hold yesterday
and only one hatchway was utilized
The hot humid weather renders thu
odor of ammonia peculiarly sufocas
ting.
The Condor came direct from
Lobos de TERRA, an island about l:fty
miles off The coast OF Peru. These
guano deposits are found on the
rocky islands and in gullies and ra~
vines along the coast. They must
have been for very long time the
solitudes of vast number Of sea
birds such as penguins, pellcans,
gannets. albotross, shags, petrels
gulls, as we'll as of seals and
sea lions. These islands, from which
the guano is taken, are their
living and breeding places, as
well as their cemeteries. where the
birds lived and died, and the accumu-
lation consists, not only of the slow
ly putrefying excrements of innum-
erable sea foul, but OF their carasses
as well. Many of these mummlfed
carcasses have been found in the
cargo OF the Condor and dozens OF
petrihed eggs have been unearthed

in June Of the same year I still found
the young birds parading about and
concluded from this that the breed
ing season extends over some two
months"
"When one takes into account the
foregoing facts-the size of the
birds, their habits of gorging thsna-
selves all day long with highly nj
trogenous food, and their conhntng
themselves to limited areas, it is rot
difficult to conceive that where
thousands and tens of thousands of
them are concerned, considerable de-
posts must accumulate after the lapse
of years"

News and Courier, Sept. 20.
With forty-two hundred tons OF
Peruvian guano abroad, the British
steamship Condor, Capt. Anderson
arrived in port recently and is now dis
charging her cargo at the South Car
olina Terminal wharf at the foot OF
Columbus street. AS fast as the fer
tilizer is taken from the hold 1t IS
packed in labelled sacks and made
ready for shipment to the interior
and to the agriculturists along the
coast. The cargo is consigned to
order, though it belongs to Morti-
mer & CO.
This shipment is the first OF a
series which will be received during
the winter. a vessel bearing seventy
FIVE hundred tons being due here
next month. Other shipments will
be made to Mortimer & CO. as is
deemed necessary to supply the de-
mand, which has been steadily grow
ing as the farmers become better ac-
ouainted with its virtues as ferti-

The Grief of Graft.

It has been frequently noted-in all countries and all climes-that a good hammered, smooth and oily stranger, without sponsors, can talk money in large sums from the most careful business men, when those they have long known to be honest and reliable can get no money for the most legitimate enterprises, or if they do they have to put up the most gilt edged security and pay high rates of in- terest.
 Along the border and in Sonora many of the most astute business men are mourning their acquaint ance with some one of four smoot h operators who have all recently terminated meteoric careers, leav- ing behind their trails streaks oi bad smells, just the same as the same number of runaway automo- piles.
 First there was Hammond, the mining operator, who two or three months ago slickly worked him. self into the good graees and pockets of mining men and busi- ness men all the way from Minas Prietas to Nogales, his last bril-. liant stroke being to get several hundred dollars from s banker upon bogus draft.

Just what was his graft and how he worked 1t does not appear; but it is alleged that several who let the now absent grafter have good money are violently longing for even so much as a gasoline smell.
