Work, What kind of work.
think FOR once you are on the wrong
scent. We shall be butchered like cat
tie in this Internal Hades"
Wait and see" murmured Deneau,
who was again creeping forward into
the chamber. Come" he continued.
La Prade rushed to the side Of his
companion, and the two were soon
pulling and tusging at a small device,
which seemed to be half-buried in the
rocky wall. It is impossible to des-
cribc the look upon the faces of the
men as they gazed at this strange
little machine-a look Of mingled
alarm and triumph.
They worked desperately, frantic
ally. but the iron moved not, nor did
any result accrue from their labors.
What IS it for?" asked La Prade,
as he was on the verge of despair.
Wait" cried Deneau, I'VE have rot
yet pressed it downward" and he
then began pushing and pulling. his
eyes ablaze with excitement, when
suddenly there was a grating sound,
and the two started back in amaze
ment, for one side of the wall seemed
to fall slowly apart, revealing to their
astonished gaze another room. Into
the opening they madly plunged, and
thrusting their lights forward, they
beheld rows OF little bags, piled one
upon the other in perfect order.
The scene that followed this dis
eovery was indescribable.
Deneau, unmindful of all danger,
and overwhelmed by the sudden ap-
pearance of SO much treasure, shouted
In triumph and waved his torch wildly
above his head, crying:
I'VE are now kings-Kings of the
Earth-Rulers of Nations-richer
than Croesus-hurrah, hurrah."
The fat eyes of La Prade bulged
and sparklcd and he. too, shouted in
an ecstasy of joy.
Deneau removed one OF the bags
and read the number on 1t.
Il shall soon see what they con-
tain" and he tried to break the end
but in vain.
Burn it," cried La Prade, "hold the
torch to it, and the fastenings will
give way"
Deneau seized the torch and applied
1t to the end Of the bag. Immediately
the material of which it was made
began to soften and melt away. and a
thousand brilliant lights flashed from
within. He had opened the one that
contained the great diamond.
Let us hurry" said he. his eyes
afire, and his hand trembling, and one
little bag after another was opened
and emptied of its contents. until
their rubber sacks were filled With
Jewels and bank notes.
They could carry no More-they
would return for the balance.
They now stood gazing upon the
treasure as if 10th to leave the en-
chanted chamber, but at last La
Prade found his tongue.
I'VE cannot remove all of It," he
said with sigh.
I'VE will return" replied Deneau.
But what OF the CZar?"
ITO Hades with the Gar"
"And Pellet?"
ITO Hell with Pellet"

at the office of the railroad commits
sion from District Attorney D. G. Nc
Laurin. of the Twelfth circuit court
district, that official has rod in
pickle against the Postal Telegraph
company, and will press the matter
until he gets satisfaction. The case
is stated in the following, written by
District Attorney McLaurin from Hat
teisburg, under date of September 8,
1907, and addressed to President Nc
Nair of the commission,
Some time in the early part Of the
present year we had the matter of
the Postal Telegraph company putting

sideration with you, and some COM

pany about the matter, but nothing
seems to have come of it. l now want
to take the matter up, with view of

during the eighty days over which
the trial had been spread. The jury
weighed its decision in the light Of the
evidence and the charge of Judge
Wood, which made the Orchard con
fession practically worthless unless
found to be distinctly corroborated.
The jury stood first s to 4, then 10 to
2 and finally unanimous for acquittal.
although one juror is reported as say
ing that, although he had deferred to
the majority, he still held his opinion
of Haywo0d's guilt

congratulations of his counsel and
thanking the jurymen individually

the news to his mother. who had
broken down under the strain, and his

port of the working class and Of the

citizens of Boise. He had mo i'll feel

Statements made by Governor Good
Ing and Senator Borah dispelled the inn
preston that the cases against Meyer,
Pettibone and Simpkins would not be
pressed. Meyer was, however, admit
ted to bail in 5000, furnished by the
Butte local of the Miners federation.
The trial of Pettibone will come OF at
the next term of the court. Haywood
is to go back to Denver at once to re-
sumo his work where he left 1t off.
but already he is in great demand to
address meetings of labor unions and
Socialists in all parts of the country,
and the latter are booming him for the
presidential nomination.

When It comes to trusts, there Is
nothing that is more ironclad in its
working than the monopoly that the
ordinary cooperative creamery has on
It's product in the rural community or
small town in which it happens to be
located. So good a product Is made
that the local consumer is compelled
to pay the price received for the but
ter on the Chicago, New York or New
Orleans market, and If he does not buy
direct from the creamery he has to
pay 2 or cents per pound above the
prices referred to. But even this con-
dition is preferable to the old days,
when the quality of the butter product
was lower than the price, which ran
from 8 to IL cents per pound.

sion of the legislature. 1t had been
reached only after the state author
tiles had resumed the prosecution of
ticket agents and had arrested Presi-
dent Finley Of the Southern. Follow
ing the reversal Of the federal order,
the Southern gave notice in the SUI
preme court at Raleigh that it APP
pealed from the $4,000 fine. Gov
ernor Glenn, seeing that the law was
duly recognized, ordered the judges
to stop all prosecutions of the rail-
roads, saying that when they obey
the law the railroads are entitled to
protection The Atlantic Coast line
had also joined in the agreement, and
other lines are expected to follow suit.
President Finley of the Southern said
later that the "a cent rate had been
resisted because it was confiscatory
and that the railroad had yielded its
clear right in the interests of peace
and amity. Mr.. Finley had been
promptly released upon a habeas cor
pus writ issued by Judge Pritchard.
In message to the people of the
state Governor Glenn said: ut is

state will treat them fairly it will not
tolerate their trying to control the

Conner of Alabama warmly congratu-
lated Governor Glenn upon the stand
he had taken.
Fourth Trial Of Caleb Powers.
At Georgetown, KY, Caleb Powers
for the fourth time has been placed on
trial for conspiracy TO effect the MUIR
der of the late Governor Goebel.
Judge ]. e. Robbins, who presided at
the preceding trial of Powers and who
was designated by Governor Beckham
for the present trial, was accused in
an affidavit by Powers of having
ruled unfairly in the former trial and
of holding prejudice against the de-
PENDANT on account of his political af-
filiations. Judge Robbins, while de-
cIaring that the allegations against
him were utterly untrue, gave notice
that he would vacate the bench This
caused an adjournment indefinitely
for certiication of the fact to the gov
ernor.
Powers appeared to be in perfect
physical condition despite his long
confinement, as he has taken vigorous
exercise regularly and given great at
tention to his personal appearance.
