Immigrants arc coming into this Sec
ton very rapidly. Five hundred home
steads were filed last year In the vicin-
ity Of Lusk, which Is one OF the first
stations on the Northwestern railroad
west Of the Wyoming boundary. They
are nearly all from Iowa, Indiana and
Nebraska, with few from Missouri and
Illinois. Many of them are sons OF
farmers from those states who have
come out here to start for themselves
There is a sprinkling OF clerks and me-
chanics.
I'VE expect to see many failures" con-
tfnued Mr.. Card, land a percentage OF
the immigrants will be dissatisfied be-
cause they are not practical farmers. A
man who does not know how to farm is
no more likely to succeed than X he
went into any other business that he is
entirely Ignorant of. Others fail because
they are lazy or Indifferent. You cannot
make it too plain or too emphatic that
dry farming Is q business that requires
the highest degree OF patience, labor,
industry and intelligence. and it is pub
lie duty to warn everybody who ID not
supplied with that sort OF capital to 80
into some other business.

RECALLS MYSTERY OF 40 YEARS
MAN OF NINETY SAID TO HAVE
CONFESSED A MURDER.
Girl Who Disappeared on Mountain
Side in Pennsylvania May
Have Been Killed.

HAGERSTOwN. Nd, August 2.-The
authorities of Franklin county. Pa, are
investigating the alleged confession of a
man. almost ninety years old. who is ly-
ing at deaths door at the home OF his
son-in-law. near the Corner. the name
OF little mountain hamlet above Blair S
valley. near the Maryland line.
According to reports that have reached
the officers the old man is alleged to have
confessed that forty years ago he brutally
murdered a girl eleven years old, named
Straley. One report is that the old man
has confessed that he not only killed the
girl, but that he afterward chopped up
the body. boiled the flesh from the bones
to prevent identification and then buried
them.
The report that the old man had made
n confession recalls the mysterious disap-
pearance of the little Straley girl. who. il
was generally believed. was murdered in
1850.

MACEDONIAN BANDITS STAY
AssASsINATIoNs ALL OF po.
LITICAL NATURE.
Conditions, However, Improved Over
Lawlessness, That Prevailed Un-
der Former Regime.

Special cablegram to The Star
SOLONIKA. August 1.-The condition Of
Macedonia, though contrasting favorably
with that which existed under the for
mer regime. has latterly begun to afford
some cause for anxiety.
The population still enjoys comparative
immunity from attacks of bands. but dur
ing the last two months sporadic political
assassinatfons have shown a tendency to
increase, the culprits take refuge in the
and bands are beginning to
form in various districts.
About thirty assassinations, for the most
part political. have taken place within
this period in the three Macedonian villa
vets. At least one Greek band Is on a
war footing In the district OF Morichovo.
where the chiefs vardas and Tztzos are
active. and others infest the neighborhood
OF Florina and Castoria.
A portion OF the Florina region Is ter
rorized by one Themistocles. who is said
to have been an officer in the Greek army.
A mixed band in the Ochrida district 10
composed partly OF Greeks and partly Of
Moslem reactionaries
In tho Kumanovo district q Servian band
OF thirty-two men under Spasso Garda
has lately made its appearance. 1t dis
tributes arms to the adherents of the
Servian cause. and has assassinated three
Bulgarians. Servian emissaries are also
active in the neighborhood of Prilep.
Small Bulgarian bands, chiefly composed
of outlaws and persons excluded from
the amnesty, infest the regions OF Mon
astir, ienidje-Vardar and Nevrokop. The
Bulgarian peasants manifest no sympathy
with them, and aid the authorities in pur-
suing them.
The administration of Justice under the
new regime Is stated to differ little from
that Of past times most of the former
officials being retained in the absence OF
eligible candidates. The well known brig
and chief, Tchornopeef, a former ser
geant in the Bulgarian army. has been APP
pointed judge in the tribunal at Strum-
nitza. Sandansky. who is surrounded by
a group OF anarchists. remains here. and
his adherents publish a newspaper which
is stated to receive a subvention from the
authorities.

had quarrel on the way, said to be

peared. Her companions could throw no
light on her whereabouts. and for days
posses of men. boys and even women
hunted every nook and corner Of the
mountains in that vicinity.
Several months later Frederick Filler
and his sister, Mrs. John Lininger. while
picking huckleberries. found a pile OF
human bones. some fragments of clothes
and the strands of a woman's hair in a
pocket in the earth on the mountain top
on the road from the Corner to Sylvan
the same road the Straley girl and her
companions had taken. 1t was generally
believed at the time that the bones found
were those of the missing girl and that
the flesh had been boiled from the bones
or eaten off by lime or acid of some kind.
The bones were buried Investigations
that followed failed to throw much light
on the affair. For years the story OF the
girls disappearance was told from gen.
Grafton to generation. and nearly every
one believed she was murdered.
