Pueblo election Frauds.

one OF these Is the tremendous up
roar they are making over the report
OF the grand jury In Pueblo.
Sitting upon this grand jury was a
gentleman By tne name uf Hume
Lewis. a Democratic newspaper man
and leader. who. IL is charged. turned
the report of the grand jury into a
Democratic political document. Re
puhlleaus say that a pcruAal 81 Il slu

ateiy planned To effect pubic srnti-
mont upon the governor coatest qges-
ilon.
4 combination exists in Pueblo
which includes Judge y. Walter Dixon
and Mr.. /. y. Stevens. who think they
have a personal grievance against
Governor Peabody. and who are
charged with the q, sire 10 iujure that
gentleman politically. The Repub-
lican leaders of Pueblo say that this
grand jury matter IS simply u part OF
a scheme to prejudice the public mind
against the regular Republican orgaul-
zatton and to assist 10 preventing the
ssaIiug Of Governor Peabody.
In referring to these alleged frauds
la Pueblo. Chairman Farley of the
state Republican committee said:
so far as We are Informed there
We're extensive frauds committed In
Pueblo county BY the Democratic cor
rupuonists. The Democrats secured
from Judges Dixon and Voorhees, a
large number OF warrants. mostly for
negroes. This fact was widely pub
lished and commented upon in the 10
cal papers and resulted in frighte ming
a large number Of negroes into staying
from the polls. These judges ap
pointed special officers. most OF whom,
II not all, were Democrats. who blus-
tered around the polls on election day
and frightened away such negroes as
ventured to come to the polls.
Although 500 warrants we're issued.
but sixteen of them were served. and
these sixteen men turned loose by the
judges who issued the warrants"

OF the Supreme Court watchers, who
report in many Instances arbitrary po

fact that the Supreme Court has sent
such large number Of them to jail
for their lawless conduct on election
day, is regarded as sufficient proof o..

Has Been Epidemic There.
Story Of Its Visits 70 the United
States, Invading Northern -
Well q Southern Cities, and
Destroying Many Lives.

A special from Chicago to the En-
quirer says: The history of yellow
fever in the United States, with the
awful memories of the summer and
fall of 1878 still rising like ghostly
specters, is we'll calculated to arouse
dread of what may ensue between
now and the frosts of autumn. With
the frightful death lists of the past
before them it is small wonder that
the people of the Southern cities are
in q condition bordering on panic.
In New orleans yellow fever pre-
vailed to some extent every year as
far back as the records 60 and up to
1880, with the exception of the years
the city was under the military con-
troll of Gen. Ben Butler. Then the
regulations of wartime completely
interdicted t~raveles from the tropics.
In 1880 the city changed its system
of quarantine from the absolute in
terdiction of commerce, which offered
incentive to run the blockade" to a
more reasonable detention of vessels
from infected parts that kept the
suspects from seeking entrance to the
city surreptitiously.
The mortality in New Orleans in
the years OF the greatest yellow fever

STILL the fact that theatrical people

NO HITCH IN IRON DEAL.
Mr.. Edmonds Says Southern Merger

who has been in New York in connec-
ton with the move to consolidate the va
rious large iron properties In the south,
was In the city today for a short time.
Mr. ]. II. Hoadley is at the head of this
undertaking, and the project calls for a
new company with capitalization rang
ing from s150000,000 to $200,0tJO00. Re
ports that there had been hitch in the
negotiations caused drop of from 80 to
Sc points in the stocks of the Sloss-Shet-
field Iron and Steel company and the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company in the
last few days on the New ork market.
In the Baltimore market the common
stock of the Alabama Consolidated Coal
and Iron company dropped 80 points. or
from SIS share to $50 a share. Today
there was a recovery of points in the
opening bid for this stock.
Mr.. Edmonds, when asked about the
reports of a hitch in the big merger.
said THE plans for the consolidation
are progressing as fast as can be ex
pected In the beginning obstacles and
delays were looheu ior, anu ~ 10 hol SUI
prising that they should appear. But
there has been no abandonment Of the
project and no change in the general
plan 1t may be necessary to wait until
after the meeting in May of the stock
holders of the Tennessee Coal ana Iron
company, but as Mr.. Hoadley and the
banking interests he represents have
control of majority of the stock they
are evidently in position to dominate
this meeting"

companies already on a paying basis, and

In the last hours of the late con-
gress an appropriation of $250,OO0 for
the Jamestown exposition was insert
ed in the general deficiency bill, and
1t stayed in the bill until 1t was signed
and became law. The government
thus recognizes the proposed exposi-
tion, and aids it, and will next winter
perhaps give it bigger boost.
The exposition is to be held to re-
call and tc Celebrate the landing of
jamestown of the first permanent
English settlers-settlers that ante
dated the Puritans of the Mayfower

tiers had in fact became Americans
well-seasoned and hardy and perma-
nent when the Mayfower put into
Plymouth bay. The jamestown arriv-
ais started Virginia, and Virginia be-
came the lead and front of the coun-
try, really dominating it about two
hundred and fifty years.
No event could well be more i'm
portant or historic than the settlement
of jamestown. 1t was the beginning
of America. The new arrivals in 1907
at jamestown could not look ahead
three hundred years to see the coun-
try they had started become world

prophetic vision, and the history of
Virginia shows it was well done.
The entire south will take an inter

On in the Osaue Country.

Ins1896 one Edwin b. Foster secured
from the Interior department a lease
of all oil rights in the Usage Indian
reservation in the Indian Territory
Grover Cleveland was then Presi-
dent and Hole Smith Secretary of the
Interior. Foster no longer holds the
lease, it having been transferred
twice. The present holders have sub
let the land in small lots to practical
oil well operators. The Indians re-
ceive a royalty of ten per cent of all
oil produced.
The President and the cabinet in
tend to renew the ten-year lease, on
the ground that the oil well operators
have not received an adequate re-
turn. And yet they knew when they
bored the wells that the lease had but
a short time to run. The facts were
fully understood.
The Foster lease has long been con-
sidered malodorous, and it would be
well to end it, and deal directly with
the well owners. The Usage Indians
have long been opposed to the Foster
lease Various efforts have been
made to beak a lease that covers the
oil rights in over million acres, and
these efforts had no reference to a
control of 1t by the Standard OIL COM
pany. It is not positively and definite
ly known that the Standard does con-
troll the lease. The ten-year term does
not expire until 1906, and in the mean
while all the facts connected with
the Foster lease are to be brought
out. 1t has long been under suspicion
