Prison pits We're vaults in which
criminals i'll England were kept at
night, chained together. There was
one at Bristol Which was in use as
late at 1915 Down eighteen steps, it
was only seventeen feet in diameter
by nine feet high. and seventeen men
were consigned to it every night. Even
more typical was Warwick Jail pit,
which was occupied at least until 1871.
1t was an octagonal dungeon twenty.
one feet in diameter ana almost nine

was ceSspool, and beside it ran Il

1882. He began practice at Bucyrus
and had to borrow the money which he
spent for his law books. In time he be-
came an attorney for railway corpora
lions and their representative in legis-
lative matters.
But Mr.. MOnnett soon saw that the
laws of the state were being set at
naught by the corporations, and it be-
came his ambition to make them OBJ
serve the statutes. In 1895 he was
elected attorney general of Ohio and at
once began the prosecution of corpora
tons which were alleged to be violat-
ing the laws. He secured the enact
ment of the antitrust law of Ohio. His
conduct of his office brought him into
conflict with the Standard Oil compa-
ny, and his battle with that corporation
made him famous. 1t is said that he
rejected an offer of 100000, made or
condition that he would modify the
policy of the attorney generals office
in respect to corporations. He was re-
elected attorney general in 1897 anu
accomplished much during his two
terms, but his campaign against law
breaking corporations did not produce
the results expected on account of the
unsympathetic attitude of the state
legislature on the subject MIR. Mon.
nett anticipates success in the fight
upon which he has now entered.

STOCK RAISING IN SOUTH
PURCHASES FOR GRAZING.
Florida and Alabama Called Upon
for PGsturage for Beef Cattle
Significance of This.

The recent purchase of large tract
of land in Florida and Alabama for the
raising and feeding of beef cattle means
new era for the South in beef raising.
The purchasing of this land by the
large packing houses of the United
States, which control the meat markets
Of the world, indicates that the progress
siye, far-seeing business men behind
these concerns recognize the natural
advantages Of the South for producing
cheap beef. Its mild climate, abundant
and nutritious grasses, cotton-seed meal
(the best and cheapest concentrated fat
producing cattle feed known, appeal to
these up-to-date business men, who rca-
lie they must take advantage Of these
conditiogs.
This means a new era for the South
for this industry 1t means the scrub
must 20 and his place be filed by cattle
Of the best improved blood that will
give in return to the feeder the most and
best beef at the least cost. 1t means
there will be demand at your door at a
good price for every bull, COW on steer Of
this improved blood You can raise 1t
means that the large cattle ranges of the
West have been divided up into small
farms and the packers have to look to
the South to supply this fast increasing
demand for not only more cefbut better
beef, and the farmer and breeder who
starts herd of registered cattle to
supply this inevitable demand for pure
bred bulls is bound to succeed. 1t means
that Tennessee from its location and
other numerous advantage, is the natural
market L supply tbi. demand not only

An ola Time voyage.

When our first foreign minister ar
ranged to go to London he was re
quested by the captain of the sailing
vessel in New York harbor to go
aboard Immediately. Hastily buying a
sack of flour, three hams and a bag Of
potatoes, he hurried on board ship to
arrange with some sailor to cook his

might sail at any hour. Five weeks
passed before the boat left the harbor.
After six weeks at sea the traveller at

Former Attorney General of Ohio
Ready For His Old Enemy.

Ready For His Old Enemy.
Frank S. Monnett of Ohio has been
putting on his armOr and furnishing
his weapons preparatory to another
contest with his old opponent, the
Standard Oil company. When the bat
tie against the big oil trust was started
in Kansas and taken up by opponents
of the institution in other states those
who were active in the conflict recalled
Mr.. Monnett when he was attorney
general of the state of Ohio. On &C.
count of this record he was engaged
by the Kansas Oil Producers associa-
ton as counsel in the campaign against
the Standard. He is in the full vigor Of
manhood, though it is about eight years
since he reached the period of com
parative uSelesSnesS," according to the
Osler theory of the three ages of man.
He was born in Kenton, O., in 1857 and
was an ambitious boy. Though he did
not have rich father to provide him
with plenty of money, he determined to
obtain a liberal education. He entered
the Bucyrus High school, from which
he graduated in 1875, and after an in
terval, during which he taught school,
he was admitted to the Ohio Wesleyan
university at Delaware. During vaca-
tons he worked on farms and in other
ways earned the money to enable him
to prosecute his studies. After gradua-
ton from the Wesleyan university he
went to Washington and studied at the
National Law school, graduating in

Fatal Accident to a Brakeman.

A railroad brakeman, named NJ. Rig
 gles, running as extra on the Crown
 King train, met with fatal accident
 yesterday afternoon, as the train was en route to Prescott. A car load of
 lumber had been standing on the Chaparral siding near Huron for about ten days and parties commenced un- loading it yesterday afternoon. In doing so they had pulled the stakes from the sides of the car and had re- moved lot of the lumber from near the side. When the Crown King train arrived there the crew had some switching to do, and in backing in on the siding the impact of the cars jar red the lumber down and it toppled over the side of the car. It happened just at time when Brakeman Riggles was passing alongside of the car and the lumber fell on him, crushing him to the earth. The lumber was remov- ed as speedily as possible and Riggles was placed aboard the train and it started to Prescott.
 Dr. J. 5. Barret happened to be aboard of the train and ministered to the suffering man and did every thing that was possible to alleviate his suffering but to no avail, and he died just before arriving at P. < E. junction. Deceased had a wife and four children depending upon him for support, the family having but recent Iy arrived here. It was stated that he had couple of thousand dollars in- surance in the order of Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
 The accident was one of those which l occasionally occur which seems like fate, and for which DO particular blame attaches.
 On the arrival of the train in Pres i colt the remains were taken to the un- | iertaking parlors of H. M. Maus & Co. where an inquest was held later by Justice Talbot, the jury rendering I verdict in accordance with the facts IS stated above.
 Mr. Riggles came here on account of the delicate health of his wife and hey had been here only few months.
