Considera bic interest is being
taken in the forthcoming sale.
Although there has been consider
able stringency in the money mar
ket in northwestern cities, it is be-
lieved that the sale to be held on
December 18th will be successful
one, and that good prices will be
realized from the sale, despite the
fact that the recent timber sale at
St. Paul was not very successful.
The official description of the
timber and the location thereof,
together with the term of the sale,
are given as follows:

THE ALABAMA PLAN

The Georgia senate has passed bill
for the Acknowledgement of the negro
along the lines recommended by Cover
nor Smith during his canvass for the
gubernatorial nomination and sug-
gested in his recent message to the
legislature. The bill provides that in
order to vote a man must own or pay
taxes on $500 worth of property, or be
able to read and write a paragraph OF
the state or federal constitution. or he
must be descended from a man who has
fought in any war in which the United
States or the Confederate states have
been engaged, or he must have proper
conception of his duty to the state and
the nation.
This is practically the Alabama plan
which has been upheld by the supreme
court of the United States. The senate
passed the bill by an almost unanimous
vote and 1t will be adopted by the
house tomorrow. 1t will eliminate the
negro as a political factor in Georgia
as it has done in the state of Alabama

CALL UP HARTMAN!

an understanding was reached between
the Alton people and the prosecution
whereby the former were to escape
punishment in return for giving infor-

to the honor of the good judgment of
the prosecution, and that it is not true
is evidenced by the words of Judge
Lands in his ruling.
The way is open, then, for bringing
these people to trial and public opinion
demands that it be done forthwith. 1t
is national sentiment, wide as is the
knowledge of the deserved fate Of

quarters that such prosecution would

/ rapidly. This, IL true, is distinct adol-
ton to our knowledge of the universe
and 1t should be said that the universe
as we know 1t with probably one bill
lion suns, nebulae and cold bodies) is
relatively only a speck In the real uni
verse. which may consist OF billions OF
limited universes such as we know.
All of the recent treatises on astrono-
my, those issued as late as last year,
indicate that the proper motions OF the
stars are uncorrelated-have apparently
no common line of travel, though 1T Is
assumed that such may exist. 1t Is wei
known that the fixed stars are not
fixed at all, that each of them is rushing
rapidly through space. and the latest
estimate for the movement OF our sun
with its whole system is about twelve
miles per second In the direction of the
star Vega, in the constellation Lyra,
though as that star has a motion Of Its
own we are not likely to catch up with
1t in all eternity. 1t is estimated that II
Abraham had made an exact chart or
the Pleiades or held their relative posi-
lions in his mind, he could, were he now
on earth, see slight deviation from the
original arrangement. The stars are
called fixed simply because their distances
are so vast that travelling fifty miles a
second does not in the course OF CEN
fury show any perceptible difference in
apparent location.
If the former notion that all of the
stars were wandering in space regard
less of one another is false and there
are two sets moving in opposite directions
with some relation to each other, we
have another exhibition of the reign
of law in the universe. 1t was long
after the time of Newton that the work.
ings of the law of gravitation in the
universe were demonstrated. Now we
seem to have discovered much more
important fact, one that opens up
new vista of discovery and one which
adds to our wonder and admiration.

ness and the universe is not self-made
nor self-sustaining. Philadelphia In

MOROCCO

WyHE expected, as set forth in these
columns recently touching the
IL Moroccan troubles, has happened,
and will happen in the shape Of con-
quest of that whole land under the
name of benefcent assimilation by the
French, Spanish and German nations,
just as the Japanese have gobbled
Korea; and after the necessary fight
ing to subjugate the semi-barbarous
inhabitants the world will settle down
to normal condition.
There is ground for belief that the
German emperor may not be satisfied
with his share of the swag as appor-
toned by France, but the fact remains
that Morocco, per Sc, is off the map,
and another great step in civilization
is recorded.
The territory of Morocco will be use
full to the nations that occupy it as
a dumping ground for the excess of
population common to all of them, and
a check on American immigration,
which is now so great and continuous
as to alarm the rulers of the con-
tinent. If these migrating thousands
can be induced to colonize directly I'M
der their national flags a double pur-
pose will be served; congestion at
home will be relieved and power abroad
insured. and on this basis the game
of benevolent assimilation Is a good
one to play.
Monarchial governments, to live,
must have foreign nerve centers, and
unlike the United States, till Dewey
guns forced foreign occupation on us,
the more and scattered they are the
more helpful to the possessor they be-
come. Their national policy of annex
ing foreign provinces is the antithesis
of the Republican policy of this coun-
try, till the party in power changed it,
and in line with that policy Morocco
becomes the property of those who
occupy it.
There is no tenable doubt but that
the insistence on the principle con-
tanned In the Monroe doctrine saved
Venezuela from a similar fate. and
will hold all American republics secure
against the like. Morocco, as she has
been, was a trouble breeder and him
drance to civilization; as she may be-
come. she can be a refuge to the ma.
lions of the continent, and be produc-
tive Of a worldwide commerce. sr

HINpus ON THE PACIFIC COAST

It is reported that more than 1000
Hindus have crossed the Canadian bor-

the labor market of the state. Men of

curious type to most Americans. may
be seen at work now on the railroads
of California. They are made con-
spicuous even at distance by their
turbans. and without this queer head
gear they would appear on closer in
spection to be very different from other
oriental or European immigrants.
Up to the present time their entrance
into the labor field has caused no ex-
element, and 1t is probable that there
are few of them in California A gang

WHITE HOSE AND MOSQUITOES
The recent discovery that army posts
are thriving places for mosquitoes be-
cause these insects breed in old cannon
and in the piles of old cannon balls may
be supplemented by another discovery
which women attached to these posts
made in the Philippines with regard to
mosquitoes. An officers wife at Fort Slo-
cum told about 1t the other evening when
some men visitors wearing low shoes and
black hose were slapping their shins.
''If you were here long you would no
tice," she said, "that every woman around
here wears white hose. 1t isn't because
it is the fashion, but because mosquitoes
rarely bite through white stockings We
learned that in the Philippines. Black hose
seem to attracte these pests. There is
something about white that repels them.

REPRESENTATIVE
Conductors HERE
THIRD VICE-PRESIDENT CLARK
IS INVESTIGATING THE
LATE STRIKE.

w. NJ. Clark, third president
of the Railway Conductors, has been
in the city for the past two days, in
vestigating the matter of the late
strike, and the part taken in it by
his men. He called upon Superin-
tendent Hedden yesterday and the
two had long conference over the
matter. What passed between the
two men neither of them would say
for publication, further than the con-
ference was very satisfactory.
Mr.. Clark made a social call, -
said Mr.. Hedden, and we had a very
pleasant chat. l found Mr.. Clark a
very interesting man and man of
wide experience and broad ideas"
The strike was a deplorable oc-
currence," said Mr. Clark, but, per-
haps, it was not without its benefits.
The men were hasty, and there is
now better understanding between
them and the railroad officials. And
there is and will continue to be a
better feeling on the part of the men
toward Mr.. Hedden in the future.
They did not know their superin-
tendent as I have learned to know
him in the talk that have had with
him. Mr.. Hedden is a very Just and
reasonable man. He intends to be
fair, and If | were on the road to-
morrow / would not wish to be un.
der better man. But he also knows
what is his due, and he will insist
upon having it. You can say one
thing to the people of Tonopah, and
that is that they need have no fea,

road for many day to Gomez

CHICAGO WOMAN
VICTIM OF Thug

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Miss Jennie
L. Stevens, formerly organist of the
Wesley Methodist Episcopal church,
was found dead today at the bottom
of an eight-foot cofferdam at North
Halsted street and the Chicago river
1t is believed the woman was attack
ed and strangled to death by man
to whom she appealed for directions
that she might find her way home
late last night. Her mouth was cut,
swollen and blackened, her clothing
disarranged and marks on her throat
seem to indicate that she had been
.strangled to death.
The last seen of Miss Stevens alive
was last night, when she approached
o. j. Hogbaum in nervous and ex-
cited manner and asked the way to
Thirty-ninth and Halsted streets.
Hogbaum said that while they were
talking man stepped up and offered
to show Miss Stevens the way, and
they walked off together. The police
theorize that this man took the wo-
man down by the water and there at
tackled her.
Miss Stevens was close friend of
Mrs. Bessie Hollister, the choir singer
of the same church attended by Miss
Stevens, who was murdered by Rict-
ard Ivens. Following the murder of
Mrs. Hollister, Miss Stevens became
mentally deranged She worried con-
stantly about the death of her friend.
The circumstances surrounding her
death are similar in many ways to
the murder of Mrs. Hollister.

AYLESWORTH BRINGS JOSHUA
SDIPKINS" COMPANY TO
TONOPAH.

The opening of the theatrical sea-
son for the fall and winter under the
management of Aylesworth, will
take place at the Eagles Pavilion on
next Wednesday night. The initial
production will be Joshua Simp-
kins," which is a pastoral comedy
drama, with a number of clever
specially skits and some very strong
scenes. This is the play in which the
wonderfully realistic sawmill scene
is introduced. The son of Uncle
Josh is dashed to log, with a genu-
inc circular saw rapidly revolving,
while the log and the victim slowly
but surely approach the sharp teeth.
1t is very thrilling and is only one of
the striking bits of realism in the
play. 4

fidelity by being made provisional

he was member of the Alabama
Legislature, and, to the indignation
of his southern friends who had elect
ed him to Office, he voted against Sc

Soon afterward he wrote his wife
that, as his supply of shirts was ex.

more as soon as possible. Mrs. Par

Showing signs OF
Renewed life
OLD LONE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT
TAKES ON MUCH
ACTIVITY.

The old Lone Mountain district IL
showing signs of renewed life and
activity, and not only that, ore is
showing up in larger quantities and
better values. The Unknown district,
spoken of by Mr.. Lucey, where as
says ran as high as S455, is in Lone
Mountain, and SO is the property of
the Nevada Silver Lead Mining Com
pany.
Charles Keilhofer, superintendent
of the latter company, was in from
there yesterday, and he says that the
men are just starting to sink on the
ore, which increases in width and
value as it goes Gown.
I'VE are on the same side of the
mountain as is the Nevada Alpine
which has been paying dividends for
years. We are seven miles from the
railroad. The Nevada Alpine lies to
the north, the Interstate to the west
and the Paymaster to the east, and
the property is seven miles from Sill
yer Peak.
The contact is dolomite and
quartzite, the same as the famous
Mollie Gibson mine in Aspen, Color
ado, which has taken out, up to date

feet, and is five feet wide, while the
ledge is twelve feet in width. AS
says taken from the bottom of the
shaft average 81 per cent in lead, 21a
per cent in copper, and $14 in silver
A picked sample went II per cent in
lead and $40.76 in silver, with q
trace of copper. Several other sam.
pies averaged from $50 to $40.
''The ledge is exposed on the sur.
face for two miles, the outcroppings
in some places extending twelve feet
above the surface. We have another
ledge which parallels this. forty fee
