File on Your Claim Now.

S, D. Chapman, of 1920 E. 10th St.,
Kansas City, Mo, was in town this week
He expects to bring in a company Of set
tiers in the near future. In looking over
the township pIats he remarked at the
fact of so few claims being filed on in the
immediate vicinity Of Estancia. A large
number of the settlers near Estancia who
are living on their claims, have not as yet
filed. Ofcourse they have ninety days
from the date of opening of the township
in which to file, but should others file in
the mean time, there will be the trouble
and expense of a contest. Better be on
the safe side and file now.

Victim of Asunanin.

A dispatch from Tihis says the
murder of General Grlarzuch, chief of
the staff Of the Vlceroy of the Cauca-
sus, was most dramatic aud audacious
The assassin evidently had studied
the habits OF his victim and lay In
walt behind o wall of the Alexander
Garden opposite the entrance to the
palace, where o carriage was drawn
up to take the general for his daily
drive. The assassin unprecedented q
painter, carrying the bomb with which
he committed the crime concealed In
a paint can He was thur able to reach
his place Of ambus without suspicion,
General GrIaIznoff, clad In a crims1n
uniform, made q shining target. Az
the general stepped into the carriage,
the MAJ sprang on the wall, swung
the can by q cord and the bomb, as IL
thrown from a sling with marvellous
precision, sped straight to the mark
and struck the general on the neck.
A flash Of fire and q terrific explosion
followed, and Griaznoff wal literally
blown out OF the carriage, with his
goodman and Cassaok orderly, and
the latter's horse was instantly kill
cd. A lady who was passing at the
time OF tho explosion was mortally
wounded. The assassin was caught,
beaten into insensibility by the In.
furiated soldiers and carried of to the
ancient fortress above the city, where,
as Tiils is under martial law, he will
probably be executed at dawn. His

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.
"A Bill Introduced in Congress- to
Raise Their Salaries.

Raise Their SaIarics.
The rural mail carriers in South
Carolina and throughout the country
will receive 5000 per annum hereafter
instead Of the amount they are now
receiving, should the bill which has
been introduced In the house for this
purpose by Mr.. Aiken pass. A dis.
patch from Washington to the Col
umbia Record says Mr.. Aiken Is
thoroughly convinced that the mail
carriers OF the state are too poorly
paid and that they should be better
taken care Of than they are al present.
We agree with Mr.. Aiken. When the
character Of the work performed blythe
carriers is taken into considerations,
and the expense they have in keeping
horses and vehicles, nine hundred IL
not to much to pay them.
1t Is said there is danger that the
State may lose many Of Its free deliv
cry routes at an early date, according
to what Representative Ellerbe and
Johnson say concerning the matter.
Mr.. Johnson recently called attention
20 the fact that the postmaster gen
eral would uon cut eff many Of the
routes now in operation unless the
people patrorizing them tent out and
received more mail. "They must pat
ronize the routes better, " he said, II
the present facilities are to rsmain as
they are. 1t will be q question for
the people In the different sections to
determine for themselves; If they
want them they must write more let.

Il wrote the postmaster general q
letter about three weeks ago askir e
him to let the carriers on the routes
weigh the mail they handled to deter.
mine whether there had been a fall.

Freshets.
Speaking Of the weather, SAYS the
Nswberry Observer, this is not going
to be a good year for low ground CORN,
for there are going to be heavy rains
and freshets aud OVERT )ws Of the bot
tom lands. This Is not Tie o ,serv
er's original representation, but Mr..
ID. e Sease (f NewberrY county says
so. He bases his opinion on the
weather Of the 25th of January.
He says he has observed for the last
forty years that IL January 25th is q
bright clear day tho bottoms do not
oveIfl)w and OF course there are good
crops Ct bottom corn; but IL the 25th
is cloudy or raining look out for over
flows. The 25th this year was decid.
eddy cloudy and rainy. Another citi-
zen's observation for the past three
years confirms Mr.. Sease's forty years
observation. So u anybody goes ahead
now, In the face of prophecy, and
plants his bottoms in corn and loses
his crop he will have himself to
blame.
Speaking further Of the weather it
Is we'll enough to remember that
ground hog day Is near at hand, and
we shall therefore know soon whether
we are to have IN early or late spring.
Ground hog day Is February 2a1, and
1T is a we'll established fact, though
some skeptical people quest n it,
that Ii the ground hog C ,mes out OF
his hole that day and sees his shadow
he will hasten back to continue lis
Information for many weeks to cone;
but IL he does not see his shadow he
will remain out, and spring may be
expected early. or course this all
depends upon whether the second day
of February is a clear day or cloudy.
Everybody except the highly skeptioal
will watch with interest for ground
hog day to see whether 1T is to be
clear or cloudy and whether, there.

Snakes on Dock.
A nerve tingling story Of q four

Of New York recently by the steam.
ship I~odrasamha, together with a
tale, In lighter vein, Of how an es.
capped orangoutang nearly drove him
self crazy by pulling the cord of the
steamers whistle and failing to con
neot his actions with the maddening
shrieks Of the signal. The vessel
took two months for the trip from the
Orient. Five pythons, eight orang
outaDgs, n hundred monkeys, one
leopard, two Indian deer and the
regular cargo Of Oriental goods were
carried. Seven orangoutangs died on
the voyage.
The fight with the .pythons took
place In the Indian, Ocean. They
we're taken to the deck in cages to be
washed. After the bath they lay In
the warm sun and went to sleep. The
warmth probably made them feel at
home and they uncoiled. 1t. was
about the time they usually wore
fed.
Two of the huge snakes writhed
from between the bars Of tbs cages
and crept along the deck. Chief
Oflcer Thirkell was mapping when
the startling sight of tt two reptiles
winding slowly toward him almost
unbalanced his mind. He broke re-
cords getting to the stern, and yelled
to the Grew. Captain Craven ordered
every man to arm himself heavily.
For an hour the men manoeuvered
to pinion the heads and tails Of the
snakes. Every time o man got near
one Of the escaped prisoners It's tail
SWING around like q carriage whip,
and a blow from 1T would have laid
any man low. The Chinese and ia
panese members of the crew were
driven frantic. They took to the
rigging
The captain, however, instilled
courage in,o them by darting sudden
ly at the head OF one snake and grip
ping Its neck. A starlwart lasoar
imbued witil the same spirit, shot In
ike a panther and gripped the tail.
With nets and blankets the monster
was enmeshed and returned to the
cage. This was after three hours Of
footwork that would have kept q
trained boxer guessing.
The other snake orawled to the top
Of the engine house and held its post
for az hour, It's head swinging from
side to side, pendulum. like, always
ready to Str Ike. The ventilator, how
ever, proved the snakes undoing.
The python fell through the venti
lator into an alley way from whicl 1t
could not escape Half q dozen nets,
a dt zen blankets, and ropes we're let
down and the snake unable to ex ri.
cate itself was captured.
A few days later an orangoutang
escaped and swung himself to the top
OF the engine house by the whistle
rope. A blast frightened it, and
chatterirg in terror, it pulled the rope
more ylgorou ,ly. Tue terrific shrieks
Of tho whistle attracted the crow.
The big monkey hed to the rigging
and remained there all night, but
exhaustion made its capture easy the

The action OF Director North, OF
