Stanley not an old mamie born in Wales

known of his real parentage that his real name is not
given in many of his biographies and, indeed compara-

DESTRUCTIVE
Russian Will Not Surren-
der the Goods.

London, May u. -Special-Russia
is pursuing the policy such as she
has followed throughout her history,
preferring to destroy property rather
than surrender as the Japanese prefer
to lose their lives, rather than yield
to the enemy. Reports today show
that Russia has burned up millions
of dollars worth of DOCKS ana piers at
Dalny and Lilo Tang Peninsula sup
posedly to render the Japanese landing
more difficult. This dispatch presum-
ably explains the explosions alleged to
have been heard near Port Arthur
and led to the report that the Russians
were destroying warships in that har-
Dor. The Gar is on the point of go
ing to the front to get his baptism of
fire and to enthuse his subjects. The
Japanese deny the reported restoration
of railroad connection with Port
Arthur toward whose investment they
are pressing on eventually. A dis
patch from Shan Hal Kwan says that
firing has been heard today south of
New Chwang.

Dead in Paris.

New York, May lit is asserted
by the mother and sister of Harold A.
Clarke. says World dispatch from
Paris. that the wealthy young Cali
fornian who was found dead in his
room in Paris hotel, Monday. did
not commit suicide. despite the fact
that all circumstances point that way
His sister. Mrs. Lyman. said;
''Harold's body was found lying
across the foot of the bed in evening
dress. with one foot crossed peacefully J
over the other. The hotel manager
was indignant when 1 pointed out
how easily a person could have enter
ed the room through one of the win
dows. Harold was 81 years old, but
did not Look to be over %. He spent
Friday evening with US after his re-
turn from Monte Carlo. aud he was
particularly gay. making light of
his losses, which he admitted sustain
ing. He was not pressed for money.
for he had few thousand francs in
the hotel office. Neither did he have
any love affair SO far as we knew
He threw off trouble lightly, aud no
man was less likely to do such a
ghastly thing"
Clark dined at restaurant Sunday
evening. He entered tile hotel at
about 10 p. IN. The employees say they
heard the shot half All hour earlier
Clarke had taken revolver from
the bottom of his trunk, They ridi-
cule the idea that it was anything but
suicide, but admit that CLARKE had

PERFECT IT GOOD RULING
Court of Appeals Protects
Game WardenS.

Judge Maxwell of the court of ap.
peals on Monday handed down a de.
cision regarding the @. M. White case
which was appealed from the district
court of Mesa county December TO-,
1900. White was arrested by Game
War6en E. W. Hornbeke at Meeker
with 800 deer hides in his possession
and the case is familiar to the
readers of The Sentinel. The decision
given was that the hunter must show
a legal right to game in lis possession.
This is the first case that ever reached
the court that was decided upon aud
the game wardens of the state feel
thankful that 1t has been decided in
their favor. Hereafter cases of this
kind can be readily taken up and dis
posed Of by law.

Political View OF the Crop.

Washington, June 3.-The effect Of
cotton production on the cor,,ag cam.
paign is q subject that has proved in.
teresting to politicians since the state
ment of the department of agriculture
was issued last Saturday. The con-
sensus of opinion on the part Of both
republicans and democrats is that, SO
far as the increased cotton yield Of
the coming year concerns the political
world, i. will tend to the advantage Of
the republican candidates in that it
indicates conditions that will make
for added prosperity for both the
South and the North.
The cotton report Of the depart.
ment of agriculture shows en- increase
OF the area planted in cotton Of
2,soO,O00 acres compared with last
year. This brings the area planted
in cotton up to over 81 900, 900 acres,
which breaks the record in the history
of the industry.
The crop of last year was worth
s6GO, 100000 or sl6O, 900, 900 more
than the crop of the previous year.
During the year cotton has reached
the highwater mark of II cents q
pound, and it is now worth III 1.2
cents.
Under ordinary conditions the in
crease of the acreage of 90 per cent
would result in breaking the market
to disastrous degree, but the cotton
supply being depleted all over the
world with shortage of cotton goods
produces ac5ndition, in the opinion
Of cotton experts, that will prevent
thc lowering of the price beyond pro-
fitable margin for the producers and
making the value of the total yield
about as grea: ss was the value Of the
crop in the present year.
