We are in receipt of an invitation to
deliver an address before the Orego-
Man Society of Archaeology early in
June, taking as our subject the an
Equities of Arizona as we have found
them. We must decline with thanks
While this territory has lots of an
Equities, including our esteemed con-
temporary, of which we are justly
proud, we have no railroad pass to
Portland, and the society says nothing
about paying our hotel bill. When a
man starts out to lecture for nothing
and pays his own way to boot he is
either snide CT an ass, and we don't
want to be classed with either.
We don't want to find fault with the
way the coroner conducts his office,
as he is green hand at it, but we do
feel like throwing out a gentle sugges-
ton that we believe is worthy of his
consideration. In three different in
stances where he has gone over to
Clinch Valley to inquest on bodies
found hanging to trees the verdict has
been, cause unknown" There should
be no hesitancy in stating that the de-
ceased was hanged by the neck until
dead and that he deserved it. If he
hadn't deserved hanging he wouldn't
have got there and no one will blame
the crowd who pulled on the rope
Some of the executed may have rela-
tives who will some day want to know
all about it, and they should not be
deceived into believing that this eli
mate is bad for heart affections or that
mountain fever breaks out every week
or two and carries off half a dozen
people.
The great and glorious west has a
reputation to maintain, and all official
facts should be given straight from
the shoulder, no matter whose feel
ings are hurt NJ. QUAD.

Wanted Judge to Be OverruIed.

Up in Maine there is an old custom
of opening the courts with prayer,
which custom in one instance. describ-
ed with considerable gusto by ex-Judge
Henry E. Rowland, led to a petition
with which the judge couldn't exactly
sympathiZe. The minister who was to
officiate at this court was one of the
good old fashioned, simple living, long
praying kind who flourish in country
churches. He prayed for the welfare
of the nation and its executive and his
cabinet; he prayed for the state officials
and for mankind in general. Then, 20
Lord give to this presiding judge the
wisdom he so much needs" besought
the dominic with fervOr "Overrule his
decisions to thine eternal honor and
glory" The presiding judge, appre
ciating the spirit of the petition, while
hardly relishing his diction, had to live
down the reputation which his asso-
ciates tried to confer on him in accord
ance with the Characterization of the
prayer.-New York Tribune

to the sidewalk and began shooting.
Twelve shots We're fired, and the only
thing hit was Major Callahan's bull

THE TRAMPS RIGHT ARM CLOSED LIKE A
STEEL BAND AROUND THE OTHER
denly his hand closed like Il wise upon
the rear railing, his body swung out
and Writhed for Il few moments il
midair, then his feet caught, and he
drew himself in by sheer force of mus
Gle and nerve to the same crouching
position he had occupied on the Pull
man forward
Inside the car the other man was
now tearing the letter into the most
minute fragments, as if striving to
annihilate its contents. When the
pieces were too small for further re
duction they swept through the open
window and were scattered thinly
over a half Il mile of the roadbed. The
man rose and glanced about the car.
1t was almost empty, and the other
passengers were buried in papers or
books. He turned back quickly, open
ed the door. and with light spring
threw himself from the train, but not
to the ground. Just as he sprang, the
tramp flung himself out suddenly, with
nothing but his left hand grasping the
rail. AS the two bodies came together
the tramp's right arm closed like a
steel band around the other lie the
weight of it bore them down, down.
until their legs almost swept the mock
ing rails of the roadbed.
Not many men-nOt one in a thou
sand-could have sustained such a
JUnicrl1t in SI1nb n npSi+inn rim,
from side to side under the motion Of
a train going at fifty miles an hour,
but gradually, little by little, the left
arm contracted and drew them up, up
and in until finally, with a last desper-
ate effort, they were both crouching
upon the rear platform, white, gasping,
too exhausted to stand or speak.
The well dressed man recovered first.
The horror was still in his eyes, but
with it was something more Perhaps
that instant in midair. with death in
front, had made him see more clearly;
perhaps his miraculous rescue had
made possible the greater rescue from
himself. AS he rose staggeringly the
tramp's arm went out in feeble protest,
but hand fell upon the arm gently.
"No need of that now, my friend"
the still white lips whispered. Il am
awake and in my right mind. 1 shall
never attempt anything like that
again"
The train began to slacken, and at
that moment the door opened and the
conductor came out. They were pass
ing over a short piece of road where
repairs were being made. and slew
speed was necessary. The conductor
nodded to his passenger, but seemed
surprised at his disheveled appearance.
Then his gaze fell upon the tramp, and
his face darkened

ing put off once too? And, from the
looks of this young man, you have
been up to more than stealing ride

There was a sudden jerk, which in
timated that the train was about to in
crease its speed. The conductor caught
the tramp by the shoulder and with a
quick twist sent him from the train
The passenger uttered an angry cry
Of remonstrance and tried to stay the
act. but too late. AS the train gath

Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock an
individual known as Jim Furlong, who
supposed the editor of the Kicker
was at home, rode up and down in
front of tlN office on an old mule and
yelled for gore and did a heap of brag-
ging. We were over to Lone Jack at
the time and could not attend to Mr.
Furlongs case, but we hope he will
repeat his performance at an early
date.

Colonel Tom Taylor is no more He
died at his residence on Shawnee ave

peacefully that his wife didn't know
that the grim destroyer had entered
the house until after the colonel had
been dead for some time. He was

had TO shoot him about once in three

From an Occasional Correspondent.

rrom an OcciSiouh correspondence.
During the past summer 1 made q
rapid journey a la Americana through
Denmark. Norway. Sweden. Finland,
Russia and Poland. You may have
heard of the Americans diary which
read: Arrived at Paris this morn.

is why am going to write about
them. If visitors to foreign countries
would withhold their impressionist
views and copy encyclopedias and
guide books as experienced Journal
lists do, we would have more accurate
information and better literature.
But on that hurled trip saw a
statue or rather group in bronze
that has been haunting my memory
since. On the journey by sea from
Stockholm to st. Petersburg, the
boat stopped about five hours at
Helsingfors, Finland, and we went
ashore. got into carriage and by
dint OF panomine (for i didn't Know

Wednesday morning, September Ii,
the handsome home of Mrs. M. F.
Wallace at Gambler, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire.
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
Mrs. Wallace has been in Jackson
Vile for some time and was away at
the time of the fire. The house was
valued at S 900 and the furniture, the
greater part of which was destroyed,
was valued at several thousand dol
lars.
Mr.. William Sinclair stayed at the
place but at the time of the fire was
away at his work.
Mrs. Wallace has the sympathy of
the entire community in her great
loss.

That fernando county is the land
Of plenty, the Egypt of Florida. has
again been proven. this time by an
energetic farmer of Alabama in bis
first year of Florida experience in
farming.
Mr.. w. o. Ward, who moved here
last fall or winter. is the gentleman
referred to. Last week he gathered
from six and half acres two hum
dred and forty bushels of corn. The
rows were seven feet apart. The
land received only ordinary cultiva-
ton anu attention. We have not
heard that there was any fertilizer
used.
He has twenty more acres in corn
just as good, which he cannot harvest
because velvet beans were planted
with the corn, the former completely
wrapping up the latter. The beans
would yield as much in cash as the
corn. He will put hogs in the field
to harvest the corn and cows to
gather the beans, and thereby in
crease his profits fiftv per cent. The
farmers who can't make a living on
the hammock lands of fernando
county, cannot do farming anywhere
on the foce of the earth.--Brooksville
