FARMERS WANTED.

Wanted-3,0 5000 0practical fal mers
who would like to own homes Of
their own. The Government has
nearly 100000 acres of land lying
under the various irrigation pro-
jects throughout the West for
which water will be available next
season.
The farm unit on these projects
varies in most cases from 40 to 60
acres of irrigable land, depending
upon location. In many sectors
a tract of grazing land has 'neen
included in the farm unit wherever
practicable, bringing the total up
to 100 acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular land office f.
for filing, is the actual cost of get
ting water to them, and payment
may be made III ten annual install
ments, without interest.
These irrigation projects are
scattered over the entire arid re-
gion, from Canada to the Mexican
line. In consequence, every vari-
ETY. of crop grown in the temperate
zone can be raised under them.
If you would like "a fruit or dairy

or poultry raising, just write 10

Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor IKE CHRONICLE:
Dear Sir-As it has been so long
since [ sent a communication to
The CHRONICLE, / will write few
lines to the dear old home paper
for its many readers.
Crops are good in this section.
The weather is nice for gathering
cotton, which is selling at 9 cents.
Corn is selling at so cents, and it
is 20 miles haul to get the price.
Cotton pickers get $1.00 per hun-
dred, which is good wages.
Cattle bring a good price. Six
months old calves sell for $12 90
to $500. 1t is frequent occur
renee here to see a drove of 1000
to Is, 900 head of cattle on the road
to market, all white face cattle.
What about Thanksgiving, and
how is it going to be with you on
Harmons Greek? How | would
enjoy a dinner with some of my
old friends there! When you eat
your turkey on the glad Thanks
giving. think of the absent Benton
County boy, who enjoyed happy
days there when as a are-footed
boy he played among the rocks
and along the streams, and though
far away from my native home, |
live over and over again my chill
hoods happy days.
/ pray that we may all live SO
thatwe may meet each other again.
Let our daily walks be upright be-
fore men; let gambling and drink
ing and all bad habits alone, for it
will carry your soul to an awful
woe. Let us be faithful to the end;

TAFT IS ELECTED.

William Howard Taft of Ohio
has been elected President, carry
ing most of the States regarded as
doubtful. He has received 81 more
electoral votes than Mckinley in
1896 and 33 less than Roosevelt in
1904. Bryan needed 26 electoral
votes to defeat his opponent.
The South remains loyal and
true to the great fundamental
principles of the party of Jeffer-
son and Jackson.
Democrats elected Governors in
Indiana, Nebraska, Minnesota and
Ohio, and they elected legislatures
in Indiana and Ohio.
The Democrats made surprising
gains in the Middle and Western
States, but not sufficient to give
the electoral vote to Bryan.
The Indications are that there
will be practically little changein
the complexion of the National
House of Representatives, but the
Democrats gained number of
Congressman in the Eastern and
Middle Western States.
The United States Senate will
continue to be Republican.
TENNESSEE.
George N. Tillman, Republican
candidate for Governor, conceded
his defeat early Tuesday evening.
The early returns showed that
Patterson was slightly leading the
nationals ticket. His majority will
be over $4,000. 1t is estimated
that Bryan's majority will total
10000 in the State.
The complexion Of the Congress
sional delegation wali remain Ihe
same. Austin has probably de-
feated Hale in the Second District.
Both are Republicans.
The next General Assembly will
have about the usual Democratic
majority in both branches.
State wide prohibition leaders
claim that they have a majority OF
from seven to nine in the next
Senate and from seventeen to
twenty-one in the House. The
local option element still claim
that they will have a majority in
the Senate.
RUSSELL, local option candidate
for State Senator in the Maury
district, was defeated by Greer, q
State wider.

HOUSTON OFFICER KILLED.
J. S. Simpson Shot and Killed BY j.
H. Lee Yesterday.

Houston, Texas, March Al. S.
Simpson, one of the city police Off
GERS, who has been acting as day turn
key at the city prison for several
weeks, was shot and fatally wounded
this morning at $50 o'clock by Day
Mounted Officer J. H. Lee at George
Voss' saloon, corner Travis street and
Pralrle avenue. Simpson died this af-
ternoon at 1:95 o'clock, and a charge
of murder has been made out against
Ofhcer Lee, who is detained at the
city prison. Lee fired three shots at
close range, and two of the leaden
missiles took effect, one in the chest
and the other in the stomach.
OFFICER Lee stated to a representa-
tive of the Galveston News this morn
ing that he shot in self-defense. The
bartender OF the saloon states that
Simpson gave him his gun short
time before the quarrel that led up to
the killing and was unarmed when
the shooung took place.
Both officers had been on duty at
We'll Known Gentleman" ball in the
Hollow during the night, and both
had been drinking some Leaving the
ball early this morning the two off
GERS, with several other men, drifted
toward the business part of town and
stopped at Voss' place, where they
had some more drinks. Bartender
Casey states that he opened the sa-
loon at the usual hour, o'clock, and
that the two officers came in perhaps
half an hour later. Both men had
been firm friends ever since Simpson
had been a member of the force.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Investigating the Cause of School
House Fire at coIlinwood, O..
1862 Bodies Recovered.
Special to the Herald.

special 10 the Herald.
Cleveland, O., March 5.-One hun
dred and siXty-two bodies have so far
been recovered from the burned
school building at Collinwood, and the
city authorities believe this number
will account for all of the dead. One
hundred and ten of the victims have
been identified, and thirty of the
worst burned bodies will possibly
never be identified The Collinwood
Board of Trade has appropriated five
thousand dollars, and the town coun-
Gil five thousand toward aiding in the
burial of the dead. Each body in the
morgue is being tagged with all of the
details possible to secure so identifi-
cation may be made as easy as pos
sible.
The board of education which is
investigating the cause for the fire
has no proof so far that it was of in
cendiary origin. The flames were
nrst seen near the basement door of
the building. The architects scout at
the idea that the flames crawled from
the furnace to the front of the build
ing.
Collinwood will bury her dead in
one great funeral, probably Friday. A
general fund will pay the burial costs,
and one field will hold all of the
bodies. One great monument will
mark the spot. Only in cases where
private funerals are desired all of the
graves will be dug in the spot bought
by the town, and no other bodies will
ever be buried in the plot than the
fire victims.

NEGROS BANDIT LEADER.
His Trick to Secure the Allegiance OF
the Superstitious Islanders.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
A war of determination against tho
bandits in the island of Negros, in the
Philippines, with the killing of several
hundred natives, is the prediction of the
Rev. Harry Maxfield, missionary of the
Tabernacle Baptist church to this ISL
and, who is now at home on a furlough.
THE bandits of the island gave the
Spaniards trouble for eight years, and
it was only a year ago that our troops
wiped out the leader and broke up the
band,' said the Rev. Mr.. Maxiefd.
The leader of the band was an OK
driver named Dionici, who was OPP
pressed by the Spaniards in 1890 and
fled to the hills, where he quickly gath
cred q band around him. The band he
later Increased to several hundred men.
In 1900 he could muster 1000 men.
He found that 1t was difficult to gov
ern such a large band of wild and I'M
ruly spirits and SO manufactured %
scheme of worship. He dressed one of
his l~ieutenants in "A black suit, put a
mosquito net over him, and between the
mosquito net and the suit placed thou
sands of huge nrehies.
Then he manufactured a mechanical
device to slide up n down, by which
this man slid Town during the night,
making 1t appear as though he came
from the heavens and as though he
were clothed in fire. The bandits
rug he was the Lord, and when he
spoke every one groVelled on thu
ground. The manufactured lord then
appointed Dionici his mountain pope
and called him Papa Ysio.
after that the bandits. who were
very superstitious, obeyed every COM
mand. Every time they began to for
get their obedience Yncenios, the manu-
featured god, would appear and fright
en- them again. Finally they wero
stirred up to such n fanatical frenzy
that they would do anything for the
pope. In a battle with Spanish troops
in 1896 200 soldiers were killed. When
the Americans too the Islands Papa
Ysio was at his height, but the troops
