terry has been Jumped" as a gold
mine. So has the entire south half of
land intervening between the Cath
Ollie and Protestant cemeteries has
also been staked out to comprise a
ten-acre placer claim known as the
Palm Leaf placer.
Herman Mueller, a wealthy saloon
keeper, declares that there is gold in
the cemeteries. He has located his
placer claim in ground around the
two graveyards and his corner posts
touch the Catholic cemetery, fence,
the boulevard and the common, and
one SacrilegiouS stake has been
driven in the Mount Moriah soil not
far from the w. A. Clark plot.
The Jewish cemetery has been
completely enveloped by the location,
and, technically, the Jews have now
no cemetery.
Jews about town are boiling with
indignation, and public protests have
been made. Indignant citizens have
pulled up the northwest corner post
of the Palm Leaf placer, driven near
a headstone, and have thrown it over
the fence.
The ground is supposed to be the
property of the Northern Pacific
Railway company, and was given by
the courtesy of the company to the
various denominations desiring bury
ing grounds.
Mr. Mueller declares that the land
commissioner ruled that the ground
was government common He says
that he and Gus Nickle located the
ground IL years ago, but that since
that time the mine has ben aban-
doned- Recently he made tn. reloca-
ton which is causing so much COM
ment and protest. Mueller says he
does not propose to let sentiment in
terfere with his fight for fortune.

his hotel had not been burned TO the
ground shortly after he had made
the admissions which resulted in the
arrest of Jett, and White said that 1t
had been burned and that he had
been forced to leave Jackson for fear
of assassination.
Other witnesses who told of parts
of the plots to take the life of Mar
cum were John T. Noble, who was
a clerk in the Hargis store; Hezekiah
Combs, E. l.. Noble, N. B. Combs and
others. The widow of the murdered
man, with the boy whom the father
had carried to and from his office
with his arms around his neck to
ward off the bullets of the assassins,
who feared killing the child, was in
the courtroom.
Hargis took a deep interest in the
trial, while Callahan, as usual, was
listless and gave little attention to
what was going on Judge Dorsey
made several rulings that greatly dis
appointed the commonwealth.
Curtis Jet, the self-confessed as
sassin of Marcum and Cockrill, came
here to testify from the Frankfort
penitentiary in the charge of prison
guards. He was brought here to tell
the story of the assassination of Mar
cum and of the alleged plots formed
bv Hargis and Callahan to have him
murdered.

A CHANGE IN CHINA.

An edict was published not long ago
in China which, although 1t attracted
little attention In this country, implies
a great revolution in some Of the meth
DDS Of that nation. The dowager en-
press has decreed that all tortures for.
merly administered in judicial pro-
ceedings shall be abolished. When one
knows how large a part the rack. the
whip, and other instruments Of cruelty
play in the so-called courts Of China he
can understand what q tremendous
step this is.
China eng ago either forgot or ig-
nored her cid provero which says: BE
severe in enacting laws but lenient In
executing them" No court of the In
QUESTION ever practiced more horrible
or persistent fortunes. This judicial
cruelty has formed the subject Of a
chapter Of almost every book written
on that country. Up to the present
time trials In the Chinese courts Of
law have been conducted by the means
Of torture. Even the witnesses have
suffered. especially II they have not
testified according to the judges the

A traveller tells Of a recent expert

"The judges were sitting In a court
yard where there were twenty c-imi-

In gorgeous silks and were drowsily

all sorts Of uncomfortable attitudes.
Some Of them were suspended by their
thumbs. Their hair was unshorn and
matted, their faces caked with dirt,
and they had lost even the look Of hu-

Happiness OF Sweet Content.


There is no more truthful proverb
than that which says, Content is bet
ter than riches" Those who believe in
this saying, and have learned the les
son which 1t teaches, are by far the
happiest people in the world. The man
or woman who envies everything
which appears to be out of their
reach, and everybody more fortunate
than themselves, rarely experiences
true happiness. How often one comes
across the girl who Is continually be-
moaning her fate and misfortunes, and
like the princess in the fairy tale,
wishing she was someone else She
envies the pleasures of friends, unless
she can participate in them herself;
she envies other people their posses
sions, II better than her own, and she
only seems truly happy when she can
outshine others.
Such a girl not only makes her own
life miserable, but brings unhappiness
TO those on whom she may be depend
mt. His position and efforts to please
and provide for his wife will, In nine
cases out Of ten, be compared with
the doings and pleasures of various
friends, and be valued and appreciat-
ed according to that comparison.
If the envious. discontented wife
considers her mode of living, dresses
md pleasures equal to those of her
married friends. she will then become
quite amiable and satisfied. But If
she suffers in the comparison. then her
discontinued nature will at once assert
itself. and her unfortunate husband be
