Under the rules of the court" he
said. every person who wishes TO pre-

against the estate.

one authorized the extra payments,
Stfmson SAYS. and that some one is the
man the Government intends 70 punish.
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany, through Henry 3. Clausen. law
partner Of John E. Parsons. says it
wants TO punish everyone who might
have been concerned in sugar frauds.
Clausen points out that Tearly all the
directors of the sugar Company have
changed since the frauds 1oSk place
Here is what Clausen says
The officers of the American Sugar
Refining Company have no comment TO
make in regard 10 the indictments found
against Oliver Splitter and certain of
beyond this-that they are as anxious
as the United States attorney can be
that these men, and any others shall
be punished II they are guilty, and
that they are and have been CO

States district attorney.
None Of the men indicted are now
connected with the company. Splitter
was dismissed Immediately after the
recent trial before Judge Holt; the
others mentioned on Thursday OF this
week"
Mr. Parsons is chief counsel for the
sugar company. He was personal coun-
sci for the late Henry o. Havemeyer.
He is now interested in the company,
and was for years member or the
directorate. He was not at his Office
today and at his home word was sent
out that Parsons was not there. At the
office. the clerk in charge declared that

would be said, that il covered the case
fully.
Henry o. Havemeyer is dead, having
expired suddenly at his magnificent man
sion on Long Island soon after the

1t was Obadiah Green's Transconu-

that made red-letter day in McGregor,
Iowa, as it did In the various other
towns along the Mississippi, In the
spring of 1874 The small boys Of the
village were in transports of acrobatic
ecstacy. notably FIVE brothers, the
youngest of whom was only 1--WE years
old, the eldest eighteen. Their father
was not wealthy but he managed with
his little harness shop to make fair
living for his flock.

The boys had arisen before daybreak
TO see the show come in. The sound

four or five miles up the river had been
their cue, and when the clumsy and
water-soaked tub, with its belching
stack and stern wheel. drew into the
landing and threw out its gangplank

wondering eyes fastened on Obadiah

SCENIC BEAUTIES OF TEXAS.
Picturesque CanyOns-AIOuntain
WOnedfurl in Their Ruggedness.

Texas has as much beautiful seen
cry as any other region in the world,
and, like its products, its scenery
is diversified. From the beautiful
magnolia-fringed rivers of South
eastern Texas to the rugged Alpine
like scenery of the extreme western
section of eXas is long jump, but
over every inch of the distance there
is never ending change of view,
much Ohf which is as beautiful as
any in the world.
From the beautiful gulf ports, as
picturesque as any Italian harbor, TO
the wonderful natural beauties of
the Panhandle park" which patri-
otto Texans are attempting to save
as state monument, it is the same
something different every inch of
the way and all worth seeing.
But 1t is of the rugged scenery of
West Texas that | purpose to tell.
From Del Rio west on the Calves
ton. Harrisburg and San Antonio
roaG the scenery is rugged and
grand. There is also much of this
rugged beauty along the line of the
Texas and Pacific, but the greater
part of it is to be seen nearer the
banks of the Rio Grande, the turbu-
lent, muddy stream that divides the
state of Texas from its one-time
ruling guardian, the republic of
Mexico. Included in this territory
is the canyon of the Rio Pecos, the
Canyon of Devils river and the
Grand Canyon of the Rio Grande
These three streams flow through a
country that for roughness and rug
gedness has but few equals any
where on the face of the globe. The
Grand Canyon of the Rio Grande is
as deep in many places as the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado and Just as
picturesque. All the beautiful color
lngs are in evidence in the sheer
rock walls hundreds of feet tall. and
1t is all as magnificent and inspiring
as the great cavity in the earth out
in Arizona
Along the banks of Devils river
while the canyons are not so deem.
they are just as picturesque. Some
OF the castellated walls towering
above the clear, ripping stream are
so picturesque in the moonlight that
they could readily be taken for the
ruins of feudal stronghoIds in Eu-
rope No prettier view was ever
had on the banks of the Rhine Ma
ture has done it all. The walls are
OF limestone in various colOrs. from
chalk white to the bright red that
reflects the moons rays or the sun
beams like glistening gold. These
limestone walls have become washed
through the ages Of formation, by
the cioudbursts so common in that
region, until they have taken on va
rlous fantastical shapes and forms.
