STOLEN
Horse Taken From Lot of J H. Elder Monday Night by a
 Thief.
RECOVERED LAST NIGHT AT DARK
The Animal Had Been Staked in Col Burke's 60 Acre Pasture but had Broken the Rope with Which it
 was Fastened.

Yesterday morning when J. H. Elder, living a few miles west of town went to feed his stock he found that his best horse was gone. Investigation revealed the fact that it had been stolen. The party who took the animal had come in from the direction of Emmet riding a horse, shOd only in front, and after roping the Elder horse, started in the direc tion of Prescott, leading the stolen animal, which travelled on the left side of the ridden horse.
 Reaching the junction of the Emmet and Washington roads, just outside of the Prescott cor poration, the thief took back up the Washington road, until he reached the Peachey lane, when he turned due north. He was tracked to the Stewart place on the Wallaceburg road, and there the track was lost. However the searching party continued west, and this morning, when an nouncement was made that the animal had been found, they were in the bottoms near Gray's lake
 The horse was found last night about Sundown in Col. Burke's s pasture, by Mr. Burke and Dun can Brown, whowere riding along the road, and saw the animal grazing in the pasture. It had been staked in the pasture, pre-. sumbly by the thief, but it had broken the rope, and to this fact Is due it's recovery, as it was evidently the intention of the thief to come last night and get the animal.
 Sheriff Hood headed a posse who spent the night in the pas ture, waiting for the thief to come, but there were no revela tions along this time.
 The thief after reaching the Stewart place, turned in toward the Gray's Lake road, and strik- ing it a few miles from town, turned east toward Prescott, until he reached the Burk pas ture, just north of town, and staked the horse in a thicket therein, expecting to return last night for the animal, but the best laid plans of horse thieves as well as mice and men aft gang aglee.

BARGAINS BEFORE BABIES.
A Strenuous Half Hour on Fourteenth
 Street In the Rush Shopping Hours.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 It was a very small baby, indeed, when
 you consider the disturbance it created;
 it's size seemed entirely inadequate. It's
 chief claim to distinction was that it was alone; abandoned temporarily to it's own reflections while it's mother pursued the Fourteenth street bargain. For time the baby comported himself with the manners of the best society and dozed. Then suddenly there seemed to come to him the realization of what he could do an he would, to create excite ment, and he gave a tentative wail-what
 horsemen call q warming up canter. At once he became the center of attraction. IT he'd taken a hand in selecting his own position he couldn't have done it more Judiciously. for he was stationed just out side the main entrance to the store, lhroned not so much In grace in a go- | cart, And through this entrance came women, some mothers and some not, but all, after the nature of their sex, with an l intnitive ear for baby's cry, so 1t was | not long before the baby-who had, like a | wise youth, promptly followed the open | ing wall with an aria filled with as many l curious harmonies as a "Parsifal" solo | and lasting quite as long-was gather ing an audience no less attentive than i enthusiastic.
 | cause of the walls remained the most part | to administer cancellations to the baby and hurl denunciations on a mother who'd. leave child to starve and | freeze" as one declared
 Take him up," commanded an elderly | woman who had pushed her way through | the crowd with martial strength born of 10 in fpnx scene with impartial scorn. Take him up, | or l will" and she advanced to the go- cart.
 Don't you do it' cried the rest of | the audience, in chorus, one adding "Shure,' no sooner would you have him in your arms and out would come the mother accusin' you of tryin' to kid nap her baby, and where would you be then?' The others nodded assent "Rock-a de carriage" advised an Ital- ian woman, who had been caught in the crowd.
 Give him candy" advised a small girl, trying her best to suit the act to | the word
 Sure, it's hungry he is," chorused the sympathetic crowd. "Oh, isn't his moth- CT the cruel woman, to go and leave him like this!'
 Here each mother told any one who would listen what she did with her children when she went shopping. Hi! move on there. Don't stand blocking the door," 1t was voice l from a great height coming from the stores siN-foot factotum, who escorts the bargainers to their carriages when they have them and generally makes i himself useful What's the trouble here?"
 Everybody tried to explain at once. Its nothing at all" he declared with | cold grandeur "Shure they do be doing l 1t constantly. But you can't block the | street." he added firmly. Be off, now" l We will" suggested one daring 1 spirit, who in defiance of all hygienic !! methods was shaking the go-cart with vigor-and 1t produced a lull.-'if you | will come and take care of it.' !

light upon certain phases of the subject described. In the volume "The Story of a Cannoneer Under Stonewal1 Jackson" the particular phase treated is the part taken by the Rockbridge artillery in the army of Northern Virginia. The author. k. A. Moore, was a member of the Rockbridge artillery and began. so he says in the preface, to record his experience more than 90 years ago. Recently he has com pleted the task and publishes 1t as the only record of the company celebrated as 1t was even in that matchless body of men, the army of Northern Virginia"
 There are two introductions, one written by Capt. Robert E. Lee, Jr., and the other by Henry St. George Tucker. And the latter says of the author in conclusion: "lt is safe to say that Virginia furnished to the Confederate service no finer ex- amples of true valor than our author and his three brothers.'
 1.-TWO Royal Foes.e by Eva Madden
 Published by The Mcclure Company.
 Two Royal Foes" though simply written and primarily, no doubt, as a story for youthful readers, yet it is very interesting. and to the reader who desires to assimilate history in a very mild form it will be appreciated. The two Royal Foes" are Queen Louise and Napoleon. A world of romance and poetry as well as dramatic interest cluster about their historic meeting and scarcely two more picturesque figures in all history could have thus been more appropriately associated. z The events of the story take place in Germany and from their point of view and the historic incidents are adroitly woven into the fabric of the romance. In conclusion the author writes: ''ro- day the two Royal Foes sleep in the two famous mausolems of the continent. Queen Louisa at Charlottenburg, Ma poleon in Paris. Beneath the dome of Les Invalides' is the sarcophagus of Bonaparte. All or earthly glory and victory.
 Queen Louisa sleeps in a spot where she once loved to walk with her hus- band and children. A quiet avenue of pine trees leads to a grove of black frs, expresses and Babylonian willows. bordered with white roses. lilies. Horteusia, the favorite flowers of the Queen. queen Louisa's King dom was not. as she said of this world but still she lives the Queen of Every Heart In the German Elm pire. Her name writes a German au- thor, a watchword with the patriot. '

One southern man whose name is most likely to be presented as a can didate for the presidency before the next democratic national convention is Charles A. Culberson, a United States senator from Texas. He is the son of the late David B. Culberson, who was a representative in congress from Texas for twenty-two years and was for a long time chairman of the house judiciary committee The fam fly was prominent in Georgia during the first half of the 18th century. But David B. Culberson removed to Texas in the fifties. Charles A. Gull person was born at Dadeyille, Ala, June 10, 1865. While child he went with his father to Texas, where he has since resided, his present home being Dallas. He graduated from the Virginia Military institute in 1874 and then studied law for. two years at the University of Virginia. In 1890 he was elected attorney-gen- eral of Texas. and was reelected in 1892, was elected governor of Texas in 1894 and 1896. and succeeded Rog- CT c. Mills as senator from Texas in 1899. In every position of public trust which he has held Mir Culber- son has exhibited tact, ability and an earnest devotion to duty.

If the president of the Rock Island railroad means what he says. that all its lobbyists at state capitols and at the national capitol are to be with drawn. 1t shows he has seen a great light. But how about the other rail- roads? Will they follow the good example, says a Washington writer. Will the Pennsylvania railroad, which has co-operated and also maintained its lobbyists at all the capitols of southern states through which 1t passes, also abolish the same nefarious practice? Will Hartman reform his tactics and cease to brihe and influence the legislatures of the Pacific coast states, and those as far east as Omaha, and even to New York? Will he cease to finance the republican machine in California and buy the election of United States sen ators and congressman? It will be a dark day in many states for the re- publican machine and the republican bosses If one of their chief sources for campaign funds is dried up. There would undoubtedly be a democratic majority in the house of representa- tives if the magnates of the corpora tions and the tariff protected trusts had kept their hands out of the treas aFie8 of those institutions. and the United Statss senate would be friend ly to the people instead of being con- trolled by the corporations without the money and the aid of the lobby fists corporations Even President RoosevsIt's title to the presidency Is elouded by the life insurance and Hsrriman's contributions to his campaign fund, and there is good reason to believe that, at least, one of the principle candidates of the re- publican party for the presidential nomination is receiving aid from sim- liar sources. How can the people ex- peet relief from trusts and corpora tIons as long as the leaders of the dominant party are 90 much under obigztions to them as the exposures already made indicate.

After the spectacular effect of fln- ing the Standard oil trust nearly
 thirty millions of dollars has subsid- ed it may be we'll to investigate what advantage the public will gain even if the trust eventually has to pay the full amount. John D. Rockefeller Is reported to have said that Judge Landts will be dead long while be- fore this fine is paid. In fact many things will happen before that. y But suppose the chief trust magnate
 is not a good prophet and in the course of a year the circuit and su- preme court decide that the enormous
 fine is legal and must be paid. Where will the money come from but from the profits on oil. and is 1t not quite probable that a cent or two more a gallon will be charged the public, so that the trusts stockholders can still be paid their 40 per cent dividend

WILL BAR IMMIGRANTS.
Prohibition Movement in South VIII Keep Out Immigrants.

Washington, D. G.. Aug i0.--A high official of the immigration bu- reau is authority to-day for the state- ment that the prohibition movement in the south will seriously interfere with efforts to get immigrants to that section of the country.
 "It is none of my business" he said, although I have been co-operat- ing. as far as possible, with the im- migration bureaus of the states of South Carolina, Virginia and others. So soon as the class of people being sought in the south find out that pro- hibition laws cucumber their person al liberty they will refuse to go south and those now there will leave. The German, Austrian. Swede. Finn and nearly all other classes of Europeans will not go where they cannot get beer. Besides that they resent any interference with what they shall eat or drink, believing these are matters oi personal liberty. They do not hold the view that so light a drink as beer, when taken in moderate amounts and under circumstances to which they are accustomed, is either a sin or crime. They look down upon whiskey drinking in this country as moral weakness to which Ameri- cans should not be addicted, and probably would not care what hap pened to the ardent spirits, but they object to being deprived of beer. In Finland. for instance. the govern msnt and the intelligent classes en- courage the use of beer as keeping down the heavy drinks, which threatened to increase in consump- ton, and Finland is considered the model temperance nation of the earth.
 Personally. 1 think a great mis- take is being made in the south. If these prohibition laws are being en- acted to make the negro a sober citizen, the error will be discovered in 6 few years. The negro will now become an imbiber of the cheapest and most fiery grades of mean whis- key, and I will venture the predic- ton that in prohibition states of the south crime will increase. It is his tory that prohibition runs out the mild drinks like beer anc brings in the worst of the ardent class. The negro naturally likes the stealth that goes with blind tigers and 1t will not be long before he will taka the lead tn defiance of law and hypocrisy. He will copy after the white man, 1t is true. When he sees prohibition laws defied he will pay less attention to other laws. IL Is we'll known that in many portions of the south where prohibition Is in force through local option the negro has turned to CO., caine and drugs and has become % worthless that he ie a menace.
 What the south should do 10 help the negro be a better citiEen and to encourage the immigration of use full and intelligent European work men is to enact laws that will favor the sale of beer and the Iightest Of wines. This course is now advocated in many states of the country by dis tinguishsd churchmen and thinking citizens who want to find a medium between the radiealism of prohfbi- ton and the extreme vide open con- ditions. Commissi0ners from Fin- land who recently came to study h- csnse lazs in this country were hor- rihed st vhzt thsy ssy Ia the pro

Standard Obtains Leave to Appeal
 From Chicago Judge.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Attorneys Mer. ritt, Starr and Moritz Rosenthal, rep resenting the Standard oil Company of Indiana, filed the defendant company's assignment of errors in the United States district court here. The Stand ard oil attorneys went before Judge Peter s. Grosscup of the United States circuit court of appeals to make their application for an appeal, a writ of error and supersedeas.
 Special Assistant District Attorney James H. wilkerson and Assistant Dis. trlct Attorneys Harry A. Parkin and Francis Hanchett appeared for the gov. ernment to contest the defendants at- torneys in their efforts to obtain a supersedeas without any more than a bond for costs. It was the contention of the government that the bond should be fixed at S29.24o.00o. the amount of the fine imposed by Judge Landis. in order to secure the government pending a stay of execution to satisfy the judg- ment.
 The assignment of errors filed in the district court contains 116 citations In which Judge Landls is declared to have erred during the course of tho trial of the oil company.
 The writ of error sought by the at- torneys for the Standard oil Company of Indiana was granted by Judge Grosscup,
