North Star News

Late news from the North Star
district is to the effect that a
number of the prospects closed
down during the summer months
are being reopened and work re-
sumed upon them. Among the
returning property owners dur
ing the week were Don >. Rae,
who has interests in six compa-
MES owning holdings which sur
round the North Star; James
Purcell, L. c. Pippin, A. j. An
drews and George Hard. Hard
and Sullivan have leased the
Ironwood and are now building
an arastra to- handle the ore.
Humphreys and Fox, the middle
men who handled the North Star
deal, are expected to arrive on
the 18th. They have bought the
RattleSnake and are understood
to have turned it over to the
Star. Sullivan, and Hard are
also said to be. negotiating the
purchase of the King. This lat
ter mine continues to grind ont
IS tons per day, and this too
with the antiauated machinery
which is still in use in it's mill.

Death For MARQUEE

The trial of Francisco Marquee
for the murder of Peter B.
Hodges on the 18th of last June,
which commenced on Tuesday of
last week, occupied the almost
uninterrupted attention of the
court until $50 o'clock Saturday
night, when the jury, after an
absence from the court room of
only forty minutes, brought in
verdict of murder in the first
degree, fixing the penalty at
death by hanging.
District Attorney Timmons
conducted the prosecution, Mar
quez being defended by Attor-
neys Henry Wupperman and F.
L. Ingraham, who were appoint
ed by the court. The attorneys
for the defense made the most of
a thankless job, using conscien-
tious efforts to find palliation for
the crime of their imposed client,
but the preponderence of evil
dence was mountain-high against
them. Twenty-Five witnesses
we're examined, the testimony Of
Manuel Arviso, the third man Of
the party at the time of the MUIR
der of Hodges, and who was
himself wounded by Marquee,
being most important. Marquee
took the stand in his own behalf
on Saturday and was exhaustive
! ly examined and cross examined.
The story of the. crime has been
told so often that repetition is
unnecessary here. The evidence
deduced from the trial was sub
stantially what has been given
in newspaper reports many times,
The evidence was all in by $3.50
Eo'clock Saturday, and the argu'
ments begun. The judges
charge to the jury was exhaust
live and covered every possible
aspect of the case. The jury
consisted of Ernest G.. Feggett

sentence upon Marquee Mon
day at 1880 o'clock, fixing the
date of his execution on Friday
the 18th of December, at the ter
ritorial prison at Florence. The
condemned man was taken t,
Florence on Tuesday nights lat

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional rem
eCies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucuous lin
ing of the Estachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflmation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucuous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by ca
tarrh that cannot be cured by Halls

IF the saloon interests would
strengthen their position against
abe onslaught of those who wish
TO destroy the liquor traffic, they
must take take stand for de-
cency in and about saloons and
cut out the hoodlumism, foul
language and unnecessary broils
that disgrace the street and often
terrify passing women and chill
dren. 1t may be said that this
is the duty of peace officers; it is,
where they hear of it or their
attention is called to it, but in a
town without regulated night
and day police system, many dis
graceful and punishable offenses
never come to the knowledge of
the proper officer. Yuma is per-
haps 40 worse than other towns

ment against the perpetrator OF

GROWING CORN
(WaShingtOn POst.)

1t s a fact positively established
that the greatest yield Of corn that
Yer came from a single acre was
grown ii South Carolina-more than
90 barrels of 5 bushels each. The Or
ange judd Company offered a large
premium for the best yield per acre
and our South Carolina farmer was
awarded it but nobody would pretend
that South Carolina is in the same
class with Illinois as a corn State. It
is not half equal to Kentucky for
corn.
These statistics" only show what
the farmer Of Illinois, or Iowa, Mis-
souri, or Kansas, could do if he Oe
employed proper methods. Nearly all
the seed planted is not fit and very
little, OF the cultivation is thorough.
The corn crop ought to be double
What it is on less acreage than is
now devoted to the crop.
In this connection it is
lnS to note that a single ear Of corn
at the show in Missouri some DAYS
ago brought at public sale 81 a grain.
And the man who purchased it will
make money by the transaction. lust

$4,000 for a short horn calf in New

The old Cane Fear and Yadkin Valley

Fayetteville Observer.
what a struggle it was to build
the Western Railroad, and then the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley, whose
name NOR definitely represented the
route of the former! And what a
sad day for North Carolina when
that. wholly intra-State a was dis
numbered and the daily line of boat
on the Cape Fear disappeared! The
eight foot channel from wilmington
to Fayetteville, rendering FayetteVllle
a .Fbasing point for freight rates and
Wilmington a gateway" will neutral
lie the effect of the dismemberment,
and freight discrimination in favor OF
Virginia Will cease.
We are reminded of these things
by the following reference to the old
road IN the Greensboro Record:
.Wnere a community has only n
railroad there is dissatisfaction and
srulnbling all the time. Other places
where there are W. or more roads
are pointed TO with envy. This is
we have been keeping tab and 1T
seems to us that these other towns,
when it comes to cheaper freight
rates, are no better off than Green's
borO is with one road; at least the
amelrnt Of kicking is about the same.
This IS not reasonable on its face,
for where there is competition there
should be a better and cheaper ser
vice; It looks like a guarantee
against gouging, but as stated it does
not seeYa 10 work. The My .2xplana-
ton is that there is a trust or agree
inent between the competing lines
SO that the rate remains about he
same. One thing is sure, however,
where there are competing lines
freight is handled with more celebrity.

DOGS SOULLESS SAYS ABBOTT
a REORGANIZATION ENpounds Some
Remarkable Ideas Of Immortality.

d dogs AVE SoulS?'
This was the question put by q man
York. last night to DR.. Lyman Abbott,
after the latter had explained his
conception Of immortality.
DIR. Abbott thought q moment, and
then replied:
L don't believe that dogs have
souls. There is a sharp distinction
between animal life and human life.
Where there is a life without faith
and love, such as q human being
possess there can be no soul"
During the course of his address DR..
Abbott said that he believed in evolu-
ton, and told how through the ages
the germ of life had developed by a
long process of growth into the human
being.
Then how do you reconcile evolu-
ton with the first chapter OF Gen
esis?' ascked another inquirer.
Il consider this chapter replied
the doctor, "a divine poem, no more
TO be interpreted scientifically than
Millions Paradise Lost"
Then a youth arose in the audience
and declared that as most Of his
time was spent on earth in work, he
wOuld like to know what We're his
Of q job in the next world.
DR.. Abbott confessed he did not know.
DIR. Abbott started in by saying that
he thought Immortality could not be
scientifically demonstrated The bur
den of proof, he said. was on those
who would d%isproVe it any way, as
the preSumptiOnS were all the other
way.
when the soul gets too big for
it's integumentS,' he continued, the
comes death; the outWorn integument
drops and the spirit goes into some
realm we cannot comprehend.
There is no such thing as eternal
sleep. They we call dead are living.
Whether they are within the sound
OF our voices or not, they are living.
Why was this germ of life developed?
To make a graveyard? do not be-
lieve so. There must be a larger,
fuller life after this one"
Asked Whether he believed in the
resurrection of the body, DR.. Abbott
declared he believed resurrection was
merely the upspringing of the spirit
from the body, in what from he could
not say
II am sure I don't want my body"
he said, after l am dead. l want a
better one Then he continued:
The resurrection Of Christ was not
an extraordinary event, merely an
extraordinary instance Of an ordinary
event. In some way, Christ, after His
death, was made OFFICIALLY manifest
to His disciples, but I do not believe
He was resurrected in the body. He
was resurrected in the body. He was
resurrected in the same way as your
dead husband, brother or wife
DIR. Abbott then gave his opinion
of hell:
Il would rather be mortal and
have the right to immortality than
to be immortal and not deserve it.
| Hell to me would be to live with peo-
pie forever who had the right to I'M
mortality while I had immortality but
did not deserve it,
