j, G. Anderson this morning ap-
peared in Police Judge Moore's court
and swore out a complaint against two
youths by the name of Carl johnson
and Leon Williamson, for taking few
articles from his premises. Officer Cor.
nelius went down TO the homes of the
respective youths, and, having found
them, brought them to the police court
and Judge Moores investigated the
charges against them. He found that
the boys had not taken anything from
Mr.. Anderson, but brought to light the
fact they had been in a shed belong
ing to Clint Kurtz a short time ago,
and distracted therefrom a brace and
bit, some paint, together with a brush,
and a number of other articles. The
boys said they were making a merry

giving the boys a lecture on the subject
of taking things not their own, Judge
MOores let the boys go on their prom

MARTIN
M'VEY
MEETING

In spite Of May showers the audi
cnce at the evangelistic services in the
big tent just back Of the Christian
church increases every night. Persons
'are seen at the meeting every night
who have probably not been inside a
church for the purpose Of hearing a
sermon for years. Particularly notice
able is the number of men who attend.
The opening prayers last night were
given by Rev. +. w. Clife, of the First
Baptist church, and Rev. McGaw, of
the First Presbyterian church.
The popularity Of the evangelists,
DIR. Martin and Prof. McVey, rapidly
grows, and one hears them discussed on
the streets and at the hotel dinner
tables.
The sermon last night was master
full one, the speakers subject being
"Mirrors of Christ" DR.. Martin IS
power of retaining the attention of his
audience throughout the entire sermon
is wonderful. Every word is eagerly
listened TO.
Prof. McVey has not sung more
sweetly or effectively than he did last
night, when he sang "There's Room in
Heaven for Thee"
After the services in the church the
ordinance of baptism was administered
in the church baptistry.
The committee was unable TO get the
stoves up yesterday, but they are now
in place, and the tent will be well
heated for the evening services tonight.
DR.. Martins subject tonight will be

LAND
BOARD
RULES

A Salem special says: The state land
board has established number Of new
rules regarding the purchase of state
lands, which rules are designed to pre-.
vent q repetition of the irregularities
which have prevailed in the past.
One of the most important Of these
new regulations is that governing the
manner Of making applications. Hereto
fore the applicant has merely been re.
quired to make affidavit that he was a
citizen of the United States over the
age of Is, and that he wanted the land
for his own use and benefit and that he
had made no agreement, express or inn.
piled, TO sell or convey the land to
any other person. The affidavit could
be made before notary public. Re.
cent developments have indicated that
many fictitious names were signed to
applications, and the sales were made
to persons who had no existence, except
in the mind of a notary public, who
was willing to create imaginary people
and aflix his notarial seal to papers
bearing their supposed signatures.
Since applications could be made in
any state by residents Of any state, and
the formalities required were few, dis.
honest notary public could make an
endless number Of fraudulent applica.
tions, with but little danger Of detec.
tion. IL is to remove this opportunity
for fraud that the board has ordered
new rules and regulations and new
forms.
One of the future requirements will
be that the applicant shall give his
postoffice address. Another will be that
his signature to the application must
be written in the presence Of two wit
nesses, who must subscribe their names
as such.
II is also probable that the form Of
notary's certificate will be changed to
read somewhat like the form Of ac.
Of a deed, so that the
notary must certify that the applicant
is personally known to him. Under the
present regulations a notary who forg-
es a name can say that the person who
came before him was a stranger, and
thereby escape responsibility and avoid
detection. While il will be. possible TO
commit fraud under the new regula.
tions, II will be much more difficult.
IL viii be remembered that in the
famous III cases a county clerk and
United States commissioner certified
that persons appeared before them,
though those persons had no existence,
and agents of the department of the in.
terror certified to the existence of
houses and improvements that did not
exist. In the same way notary could
take the acknowledgement Of an i'm.
aginary person, and forge, not only the
signature Of the applicant, but the
names of witnesses also, but there would
be more danger of detection in fraud so
extensive.
The board has also made an order di-
recting that close scrutiny be given all
future proceedings relative to sales
that were reported by the grand jury
as irregular, and the board will probab.
ly refuse to issue deeds or accept pay
ments unless satisfied that the appliea.
tion TO purchase was in good faith, and
not in violation of law.

YIRGINIA REPuBLICANS.

This years campaign of the repubi-
can party of Virginia promises to COM
mand rather more attention and interest
than any previous canvass of the party
in that state for some years. 1t is
stated that the national administration
feels an uncommon interest in the party
in Virginia and this would seem to be
borne out by the fact that Secretary
Shaw delivered a speech in the state a
few days ago that was evidently in
tended to show the Virginia republicans
that the national administration is by
no means Indifferent to them, even If it
has no real hope that they will be able
to overcome the opposition in the fall
election.
At the convention of the Virginia re-
publicans a few days ago they adopted
platform that is thoroughly republican
In every line. 1t declares for a tariff
that win maintain American industries
and the standard of living Of American
labor and which will also preserve the
insular possessions of the United States.
L
Monroe doctrine and to this end the
steady increase Of our naval power. In
these respects the republican party of
Virginia is In full accord with the party
of the rest OF the country and is there
fore deserving of whatever support can
properly be given it from a republican
administration.
There Is another feature of the politl-
cal situation In Virginia, however, which
is uncommon. This relates to the fact
that the negro vote In the state has been
practically DISTINGUISHED. 1t is said that
the republicans are accepting this as a
| fixed condition and will as far as posi-
BILE cut loose from the colored element
and appeal directly for the support Of
those white democrats who are in OppOsi-
ton TO the state democratic machine.
How effective this win be cannot be pre-
dicted with any degree OF confidence, but
1t seems to be the opinion Of the republi-
can leaders that II Is under the circum-
stances the wise and proper course to
pursue. At any rate it gives peculiar
and unusual interest to the campaign.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat remarks
that republicans throughout the country
would be glad TO believe that Virginia
in 1905 would lead OF in that long-h her
aided smash-up of the solid south, but
they are cautious about making predic-
tons in that direction. The disfran-
chisement OF the negro cut down the re-
publican vote In Virginia from $4,000
in 1900 to 1900 in 1904, yet the demo
cratic plurality in the latter year, $1,000,
was hut 1000 greater than 1t was I'm the
former" Encouraging as these figures
are for the republicans yet IT is far from
probable that they Will be able to carry

Glowing Harvest Outlook.
pbiIadalnhIa Raonrd

There is little danger now of any dis
appointment In the harvests. OF course,
corn might be frost-bitten, and all the
northern wheat Is not safe and cotton
still has some dangers to face. But when
the crops are in prime condition at this late
date there is not much fear Of serious re-
verses. Hence, business is proceeding with
the utmost confidence that the farmers will
have plenty Of money. A dozen western
states now promise S7O,OOOO 900 bushels more
OF corn and ll4OOO,OOO more OF wheat than
last year. and 1904 was famous year for
the farmers. Railroad oficials and crop
statisticians OF the states are almost unani-
nous I'm predicting an uncommonly fine
year for agriculture. The wheat crop will
not reach the figures of 1901, but It may be
the second largest crop In our list, and corn
Is likely 10 beat all records. In spite Of our
abundance the state OF the worlds markets
is such that prices are good and are ex-
pected to remain So
