ment that has been aroused among the
Independents against the pipeline pro-

the work of the Standard Oil CON-

Last week Senator Long and all of
the Kansas members in the house,
as we'll as members representing oil
producing districts in other parts OF
the country, received scores OF letters
and kilograms from Independent pro-
ducers urging them to oppose that pro.
vision. 1t directs that no common
carrier shall transport any commodity
in the production of which it is di-
rectly interested. In support of the
statement that the Standard is doing
its utmost to defeat the provision,
member of the Pennsylvania delega
ton produced a copy of a letter
signed by Joseph Seep, purchasing
agent of the trust.
This letter was spread broadcast
among the Standards representatives

Senator Tillman has served notice

The attitude of the South Carolina

regulations would be damaged.

II one were to go to the president OF

the country's greatest need, he would

"Clean men," He knows, says the De-

thousands; rich men abound more than
i'll any other age OF the world; able
rien are found in every state and
township, but even from a population
OF S0,000,000 the chief executive has
difficulty in finding the man of excep-

quires square and tlawless morality.

sizeable Legal Fees.
.cHANuTE,

One million dollars for fee! That
sounds like big amount, and yet an
assertion was made shortly after the
supreme court made its decision which
compelled the general government to
pay S4,000,000 for the removal Of the
Cherokee Indians to Indian Territory
that one-fourth of that amount was to
be paid as fee. 1t would not be
strange, remarks the Washington Star,
If the report was correct. When we
remember the large fees that have
been paid in Indian cases there is a
natural inference that nothing is i'm
possible in the way of fees when claims
against the government are involved.
Contracts have been made in Indian
cases which meant that when the laws
were enacted and the money paid that
enormous fees were to be given the
attorneys. The case of the Methodist
church south is too vivid in the minds
OF men in Washington not to be re-
called when other big fees are dis
cussed Here was a case where more
than one-third of the whole amount col
lecteG was paid to the attorney, the fee
beng more than 100000. There have
been cases known where fees of $780,
00e and perhaps larger in Indian
claims cases were paid. Nowhere has
the shrewd attorney Jared so well as
in the Indian claims. Sometimes there
has been legislation seeking to protect
the Indians and providing that no
more than ten per cent. of the claim
shall be paid to the attorney. But
long before the legislation passed con-
tracts were made which gave the at
torLeys these enormous fees.

around them, plenty of gay plumaged
birds, some deer, and even bear is
sighted across a barranca.
So they go along, making good prog
ress all the while, and plunging deep
err and deeper into the wilderness.
With nature so lovely and prospects
so bright, with those they adore in
their company sixteen hours out Of
each day, is it any wonder the two
comrades are happy?
True, they never forget that danger
hovers over them-that one of the
most remarkable schemers is pitted
against them, and that even while
they sleep he is endaavoring to weave
his spiders web about them.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
safety, and they do not mean to be
caught mapping.
Thus three days pass-they have met
one mule train comirg from the mine
laden with pure ingots of the precious
metal, for the Ell Dorado is now equip
ped with crushing machinery, the
most modern stamp mill, and all that
the best mines of Colorado could
boast of. This train of pack mules
has a convoy of soldiers, who have
been actually hired by the owners of
the mine to protect their treasures
en- route. Think of hiring out soldiers
for such a purpose!

when they make camn the third night,
"by noon tomorrow we will be at the
mine"

camp is pitched in the valley. A

He begins to experience a feeling
that up to this time has been foreign
to his nature-fear becomes a factor
In the game. What if this American
downs him before all these people
will Barcelona, the pride of all Mex
| leo, the hero of hundred victories
| in the arena, ever dare to lift his
head in public again?
He would give years of his life for
a chance to beat this accursed gringo
to jelly in the presence Of the peo-
| pie. How fiercely he would send
those powerful fists of his into that
face which mocks him now with a
smile-he would mar the good looks
of the other forever.
Back and forward they push, eau
tiously sparring, and each watching
for his chance, though every unedu-
Gated eye can see that Barcelona's
only hope lies in sudden coup de
grace, by means of which he will fin
ish his antagonist.
Dick does not desire to prolong the
affair beyond a reasonable time-he
has already done what he wishes with
the bullfghter-held him up to the
ridicule of the people. The oppor-
tunity presents itself, which he instant
ly seizes-those who watch him see
him make feint which daZzles Bar

from quite another quarter comes
laundering blow that strikes him on
the side of the head:
1t is a knockout, quietus.

fed manner, finally falling in heap

He has struck the popular fancy,

arises, and our friends find them
selves conveyed to the caravansary in
triumph by at least two-score of Mex

CHAPTER XIX.
On the Road to the Mine.

Dick is awakened on the following
morning by the strange cry of vege-
table vender shouting his wares along
the street 1t is early, but there is
much to be done, so he hurries out
and begins the labor Of the day.
Miss Pauline has left everything in
his charge, and when the caravan
finally reaches a point of readiness,
about half-past ten, it is as complete
an affair as could we'll be imagined.
Every man is well mounted and
armed, bronckos carry tents and
stores, and there are riding horses for
Miss Pauline and Dora, strong, gentle
beasts capable of doing much work.
Had Miss Westerly the selection Of
her mount she might have purchased
an animal with more spirit in him, for
she is a natural horsewoman, and new
err more pleased than when breaking
in a steed inclined to be vicious. She
even gives Dick a reproachtul look
when shown her steed. That worthy
hastens to prove how wisely he has

and then through valleys or over
plains-as a general thing it is up the
rugged sides of mountains and over
the toughest of country.
Miss Pauline sees the point, and
laughingly declares her confidence in
his wise forethought-his practical
experience in this line ought to be of
great benefit to them all.
So they leave the city about an hour
before noon-a small crowd to see
them off, and quite number cheer
the American senior who afforded
them such rare sport on the previous
night
About the same time another expe-
dition is getting ready in hurry
of course it is Lopez and his adher
ents. also bound for FL Dorado. What
was begun on the Alameda may yet
be concluded at the mine, for the
plotting Mexican has men there who
are under his thumb, and who will
obey his beck and cod.

Philadelphia, Pa. - Twenty years
of hard labor in solitary confinement
in the Eastern penitentiary was the
sentence pronounced Tuesday on John

grand jury quickly found a true bill

Judge Sulzberger Shortly after IL
o'clock the judge passed sentence up
on him, and at 1870 the great iron
doors of the penitentiary closed behind
him. In his quick trip from liberty to
the solitude of Cherry hill, the insti-
tuition which Dickens made famous in
his American notes by condemining its
system of solitary confinement, no
friendly hand or voice was raised in
the prisoners behalf. If he behaves
himself, his sentence, under the law,
will be reduced to twelve years and
three months. The court had the pow
er to give him life sentence.

in Pekin, but on account of lack of men
the strength has only been 100 up to
this time.
