PARLOR CAR FOR COAST LINE

With the Grcrnvillc News at one
end of the line and the Charleston
Post at the other. the LaurcnSvillc
Herald and The Herald 4 News in be-
tween arrall iN>iiny upon the Atlantic
Coast Lime handling parl"r ear be-
tween Grrcnvillr and Columbia. 1t
would seem to us that the passenger
service on this road, which is proba-
bly, the heaviest Of any road in South
Carolina. would warrant the company
to give this additional service. We
bad hoped that the commercial bod
les. which are presumed To be organ
lZed for the advancement of the best
'nteresl Of the communities in which
they exist, would have taken holl Of
these suggestions and assisted the
newspapers in their efforts 10 secure
better accommodations for the travel
ing public. We are satisfied that the
Southern will find that the public APP
prcclatcs its efforts to serve those who
travel, and we know that this parlnr
ear wonld be appreciated by the pat
ronS Of the Coast Line between Char
lcSton and GrrrnviIlc.
So far rs we have observed none
OF these commercial bodies, to which
we have referred. have taken any ac-
tion to assist the newspapers in their
efforts. II the chamber of commerce
OF Newberry has done anything, it
has kept very quiet. 1t seems to us
that this is a legitimate subject upon
which the chamber Of commerce
might take action, either through it,
officers or lis standing committee. We
believe if the matter is brought oni-
cially to the attention Of the officials
of the Coast Line with unanimous
request from these organizations in
the several towns between Grccnville
and Charleston. that the parlor ear
service would be put on at once.

Bold Robbery at Florence.

Florence, Colo-Robbers dynamiteo
The safe in the Williamsburg postofflce,
which is located in the same building
as the A P. Easton grocery and gen
eral merchandise store. Two hundred
dollars in cash and number of valu-
able papers were taken, together with
quantity of postage stamps.
7. w. Morgan, the postmaster, who
sleeps in an adjoining house, heard a
rumbling noise and was thrown from
bed by the explosion. Before he could
get to the scene the burglars had es-
capped by the rear door. The door OF
the safe was blown from its hinges and
thrown six feet, striking the door of
a booth used in the store in the cloth
ing department, entirely demolishing
the booth and also a stove which stood
ten feet from the safe. No clew of the
perpetrators of the act have been
found. but Sheriff Esser has been
called upon to furnish bloodhounds to
take trail of the criminals.

Clark is Indicted Again.

E. n. Clark, the Denver & Rio
Grande attorney. who was indicted by
the federal grand jury at Salt Lake on
the charge of filing the names OF
dummy entrymen in order to acquire
possession of the coal lands for the
benefit of the railroad company, ap-
peared before United States Commits
sioner Hinsdale and gave bonds in the
sum of $4,000 for his appearance at
the November term of the Utah fed
eral court, when the Utah coal land
frauds are to come up for hearing.
Clark was indicted on April 22d for
the second time, the first Indictment
against him being defective, the new
papers were drawn up. The charge
in the warrant sworn out for his ar
rest after the indictment was for con
spiracy to defraud the government out
of coal lands" The government Off
cials permitted him to give bonds here
as matter of convenience and to save
him the trouble Of going to Salt Lake
for appearance.

Ranch Sold for $4,000.

The great Charles B. Rhodes ranch
at Deer Trail was sold by Colorado
Land Headquarters, through the Co
lonial Securities Company. to Knee
land Dockstaeder of Lenox, Iowa. The
ranch comprises 1900 acres CT lana
and is one of the largest and finest
in Eastern Colorado. The price paid
for it was $4,000.
The ranch was bought many years
ago by Mr.. Rhodes and it has been one
of the largest cattle ranches in the
state. 1t was sold to Mr.. Rhodes.
through Colorado Land Headquarters,
about two months ago to Omaha and
Kansas City capitalists. They IN turn
gave it over to the Seventeenth street
land people for resales. The advance
over the price of the Kansas City and
Omaha capitalists paid for it and the
price they sold for was marked, being
another striking example of the ad-
vance in the price of lands in eastern
Colorado.
1t is Mr.. Dockstaeder's intention to
raise hogs on large scale. The low
lands on the property will be utilized
to raise alfalfa. while the high lands
will be devoted to peas and barley. 1t
has been the theory of most Ameri-
can farmers that the corn-fed pork was
the best, but in Holland, whence comes
the best bacon in the world. the hogs
have been fed on peas and barley ex-
clusively for years.

REAL HE'LL SHIP
TWENTY-FIVE CHINESE SHOT AND
THROWN INTO THE SEA.
PASSENGERS HAVE BATTLE
Grave Charges Against the comman-
der of the Ship Tha. May Cause
international Complications.

San Diego, Cal.-Two officers of the
Chinese crew of the British steamship
Maori King, in quarantine, told a horri-
BILE story of race riot and mutiny as a
result of which six Chinese and two
Russians are dead and 200 are more
or less dangerously wounded.
The sailors who escaped from the
ship at quarantine declare that the
mutiny was started and prolonged by
the action of the commander and his
officers in shooting down twenty-five
Chinese and throwing their bodies
overheard.
This the officers deny.
The British vice consul, Allen T.
Hutchinson, has started an exhaustive
investigation.
Capt. J. w. Duncan has filed a state
ment declaring the officers only used
their revolvers in defense of their own
lives.
According to Captain Duncan, the
Maori King left Vladivostok April 18th,
with 921 Chinese, All Russians and
crew of fifty-six Chinese.
1t appears that Chinese contractor,
Lee Sun Sal, lured the Chinese on
board the ship from the vicinity of
Harbin on a promise to land them in
San Francisco. When two days out he
told them a mistake had been made
and the boat would land them at Quay
mas, Mexico. On learning of this de-
ception the Chinese broke out in
mutiny, chased the officers of the ship
into their cabins, attacked those of the
Chinese who remained faithful and
then started war on the Russians.
Disease broke out among the Chi
nese, making the situation worse. As
they refused to allow the surgeon near
them, over 100 died like rats and were
thrown overheard.
"It was real hell ship" said First
Officer T. s. Vernon, 'and | have seen
some pretty tough lots in my time.
Just a week ago the propeller shaft
smashed through the steel case and 1t
took us two days to repair it. All of
! this time we were being beaten to and
fro in a raging storm, the waves wash
| ing clear over the decks. But the Chi
nese and Russians were bent on muir
| dering each other and the battle still
went on.
1.-The Chinese rushed at the Russians
again and again, cutting and slashing
and stabbing. The officers were sim
ply helpless"
British Vice Consul Allen Hutchln-
son has appealed to the military au-
thorities and orders have been re-
ceived from Washington that as many
soldiers as are necessary to Quell the
mutineers be detailed from Fort Rose
Grams.
Captain Duncan asks that the
United States allow guard to accom-
pany the Maori King to Guaymas. as
the Chinese cannot be landed on this
side.

Say What Crop viii Be Short.

Omaha.-A special train, with COM
mittee of fifty members of the Omaha
Grain Exchange, which has been max
ing a tour of investigation of the Ne
braska and Kansas wheat fields, has
returned.
Wheat, especially in the southeast
ern portion of Nebraska, has suffered
about ten per cent. from green bugs
and continued drought. Sumner
county, Kansas, will not make over
forty per cent. The bugs have done
great damage to the fields which were
examined. Some members declare the
entire crop ruined between Caldwell.
Kansas, and the Oklahoma line, and
Wichita, distance of fifty miles. The
party agrees that the yield of wheat
this wear will be very light as COM
pared with former years. I'VE find
wheat in mighty bad condition"
The party covered the districts OF
Kansas and Nebraska which have in
the past always raised bumper crops,
going as far south as the Oklahoma
state line.

One Hundred Are Drowned.

Buenos Ayres.-A dispatch from
Montevideo, published here. announces
that the French Transport Maritimes
cruiser Poitou, from Marseilles April
9th, for this port, has been wrecked of
the coast of Uruguay. One hundred Of
her passengers and crew are said to
have perished.
1t is understood there are 200 pas
sengers on board the vessel, and that
her cargo will prove a total loss.
The Poitou struck thirty yards from
the shore at spot called Rincon de
Herrero. Panic broke out on board the
vessel when she grounded and great
number of terrorized people jumped
overheard. Some of them swan
ashore, but many were drowned. Gus
toms officers at Rincon de Herrera
saved fifty out of the 800 passengers
who are said to have been on board.
How many others have been saved is
not known.

Baby Rides coweatcher.

Eng neer Slanson was driving his
big locomotive on the Chicago, Milwau
kee & st. Paul railroad when he saw
a flutter of calico out by the pilot of
his engine. He looked again and was
Mortified to see baby clinging to the
cowcatcher bars. Stopping the train
he found little girl, just learning to
talk. She had got on at Calamar,
Iowa, to take a buddy 'ide," she said.
So tight had she held on that though
the big engine was going forty miles
an hour she seemed perfectly safe.

LINDSEY TAKES NO CHANCES.
The Little Juvenile Judge OF Denver
VIII Not Give Up His Job Until
Another is Certain.

Denver.-The appointment of
dummy" Judge OF the Juvenile Court,
the same to hold his position until the
Juvenile Court law enacted by the Six
teenth General Assembly has been
tested by the courts, and then to re-
sign his position in favor of Judge Ben
B. Lindsey in case the law is declared
valid, is the unusual expedient which
has been determined upon by those in
terested In the new law. A part of the
plan is to secure the resignation of
the dummy" judge before he Is ap-
pointed, or at least secure from him
definite agreement that he will resign
In favor of Judge Lindsey. Like the
famous Peabody resignation, this will
be placed in the hands of reliable
third party, who can be depended
upon to see that its terms are carried
out.
This plan has been decided upon to
meet the emergency caused by the dis
covery that the Juvenile Court bill has
been doctored in its passage from the
Senate to the House, and the irregular
tiles are such as to create a doubt as
to the validity of the law. While the
bill was being considered in the Sen
ate an attempt was made on the part
Of Judge Lindsey's friends to secure
the adoption of an amendment making
the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court
coordinate with that of the District
Court, thus providing for appeals di-
rect to the Supreme Court.
1t was understood that when the
Juvenile Court was established as
separate institution under the law,
that Judge Lindsey was to preside
over it, and that another Judge would
be appointed for the County Court.
Under the present conditions Judge
Lindsey does not wish to relinquish
bis office for an uncertainty.

German Soldiers Are Coming.

Denver.-Fiye thousand dollars were
collected by the committee In charge
of the arrangements for the annual re-
union of the Federation of Former
German Soldiers, which will be held in
this city during the latter part of Au-
gust. The committee has decided to
raise fund of $4,000 for the enter
tainment of the thousands of visitors
who will come to Denver during re-
union week, and, judging from the sue
cess last week, it will have no trouble
to raise the entire amount before the
middle of June. Everywhere the mem
bers of the committee met with the
greatest enthusiasm, and responses to
requests for contributions were both
liberal and prompt.
Godfrey Schirmer, president of the
.German-American Trust Company, has
been elected honorary president of the
committee in charge of the reunion
fund. Few Germans in Denver are
better known than Mr.. Schirmor. He
has been a resident of Denver for a
number of years and is one of Denver's
leading business men.
In active charge of the preparations
for the reunion is John Hecker. presi-
dent of the reunion committee and
chairman of the finance committee.
Mr.. Hecker. the Denver representative
of the Golden Brewery, is not only a
former German soldier, but he fought
with great distinction during the Civil
War. He, like Mr.. Schirmer, is well
known among Denver's business men,
and he is considered one of the leaders
of the city's German-American popula-
ton.

Colorado Wins Water Suit.

Washington.-The somewhat famous
case Of the state of Kansas against
the state of Colorado, by which the for
mer sought to have the latter enioined
from diverting the waters Of the Ar
kansas river for irrigation purposes, or
permitting its citizens to do so. was
dismissed by the Supreme Court of
the United States to-day.
The announcement of the courts de-
cision was made by Justice Brewer,
who said that the dismissal was with
out prejudice to the right of Kansas to
serve its petition whenever it can be
shown that the state is being substan.
tally injured.
The intervening petition of the
United States also was dismissed.
