Say Steve Adams is Crazy.

The Salt Lake Tribune correspond
ent at Park City, Utah, says:
Steve Adams, alias Adam Stevens
who has gained much notoriety of
late because of his connection with the
Steunenberg case, resided in Park City
last June and worked as a miner at
the DAILY West. On June 10, while
the family of Arthur Hooper was in
Salt Lake City, Adams entered the
Hooper home and removed the furni-
ture. He was arrested and lodged in
the city jail on the charge of house
breaking. 1t was thought at that time
that his mind was unbalanced, as the
furniture was removed in broad day
light and in the presence of the neigh.
bors. For this reason the charge
against him was reduced to petit lar
oeny and he was fined s25, which he
paid and left town.
While in jail Adams talked freely
of his life, and stated he had been in
Cripple Creek during the trouble there
He told persons here, it is alleged
that he was familiar with the inside
workings OF the union, ana was Ont

CASE OF JOHN poGAN.

John Dogan, the negro who tried the
ex- slave pension swindle on two old
negroes of Yorkville last summer, goes
to the Federal penitentlary in Atlanta
for three years.
The trial Of the case took place be-
fore Judge Brawley in the United
States district court at Greenville last
Friday, and was railroaded through in
short order.
Malinda and Polidore Witherspoon
were the principal witnesses for the
prosecution. and they told their story
in a way to leave no doubt in the mind
IF the jury. Dogan denied everything,
claiming that he had never seen the
negroes before.
The facts in the case have already
been printed. Dogan showed up at Ma
linda's house in Yorkville, told her that
he was just from the White House, In
Washington and had come to take her
application for pension Of $1,000, a
months rations and lumber with which
to build a house with fence around
It. She was not much interested at
first; but when Dogan assured her Of his
ability to conduct prayer meeting and
promised to come around again to pray
and sing she gave up 81. Uncle Poll
dore corroborated Malinda's testimony
and told how he had paid the agent 81.
Mallnda's testimony was delivered in
characteristic manner familiar to the
many Yorkville people to whom she is
80 well known, and she created no little
amusement in the telling Of her story.
Judge Brawley was very much in
terested In the case, first because Poll
dore was a slave of the late Judge
Witherspoon and therefore must be q
worthy old negro and second because
Of the rascally conduct Of the de-
fendant. In passing sentence, hia
honor remarked that he would have
been glad to be able to give Dogan
thirty years, and was sorry to hold
himself down to the limit Of the law,
which prescribed three years. He
promised, however, that Dogan would
put In the full time, and that because
of his previous record he would not be
allowed anything off for good behavior.

FOR the first time in Its history the
Democratic party Of New York city Is
taking no very active part in the gu
bernatorial campaign in New York.
There appears to be very little enthu-
siasm among Democrats for Mr.. Hearst.
The Hearst campaign in the city is be-
ing carried on by the Independence Lea
que, which seems to have the where
withal that is necessary to make po-
litical enthusiasm abound. The inacttv-
ity Of the Democratic organization is
taken to mean that the Democrats have
no funds with which to raise the fuss
incident to the usual New York elec-
ton campaigns. There is Of course
wide difference of opinion as to wheth-
er Hughes or Hearst will carry the
state. Persistent claims are made by
the Hearst lieutenants that he will get
almost the entire Jewish vote Of New
York city, which Is quite an item on
election day. 1t is a fact however that
every Jewish and Yiddish paper of the
city, with the exception Of one owned
by Hearst, is against him and in favor
of Hughes. UP to this time the cam
paign has not been very warm, and II
either side develops any great enthusi-
asm, 1t will have to be done in the next
ten days.

WALL street was badly demoraltzed
last Friday because Of the fact that the
Bank of England had late Thursday
afternoon advanced it's discount rate
from to per cent, the highest in six
teen years. AS result Of this unex-
pected move leading stocks on the New
York Stock Exchange declined from
one to seven points on Fridays open
ing, some Of them recovering slightly
during the day. Many reasons are CIV
en- for the Bank Of Englands action,
among others that It Is an effort to stop
the shipment Of gold to the United
States, which has been coming to this
country in vast amounts during the
past few weeks. 1t is also rumored In
Wall street that one Of the European
countries has defaulted in the payment
of interest on national debts. The rise
is also explained as due to the fact that
the Bank Of England has recently ship
ped $5,OO0,O00 in gold to Egypt and al
so due to the failure Of big bank at
Ontario, Canada recently. Since jan
uary 1st, 1906. gold imports to the

Mr.. w. E. Herring, the we'll known
drainage engineer who has for some
time past been engaged on big drain
age undertaking for the Burton Lum-
ber company, in Berkeley county, is in
Yorkville to spend some time with
Mrs. Herring. Mr.. Herring is a drain
age expert in the employ Of the gov
ernment, but has gotten temporary
leave to prosecute the work Of the lum-
ber company, which owns fifty thou
sand acres of swamp land In Berkeley
county. Most Of the land is under wa
ter the greater part Of the year; but
as the result of the work now being
prosecuted by Mr.. Herring, it is ex-
pected that 1t will be pretty thoroughly
dried out. The purpose Of the COM
pany is to drain its holdings so as to
permit the Reproduction Of another
crop Of long leaf pine and have the
same ready for use by the time the
timber now standing has been used up.
To do this necessitates the digging OF
a series of canals from two or three to
eight or nine miles in length. The work
has been retarded somewhat on ac-
count Of so much wet weather, but Mr..
Herring is very well satisfied with the
progress that has been made under the
circumstances and feels confident that
the undertaking will prove complete
success.
