boar that swine experts pronounce as
fine an animal of his kind as was ever
seen in Arizona The boar is moth
ing More than a youngster, yet he is
quite a chunky bunch of pork and
when he is a year or two older will
be a great, big fellow. Mr.. Sanders
also has several other Hampshires in
the swine department, every one a
fine hog, and the sweepstakes was
not the only prize he won.
The Hampshire is an American
breed Like Dutch Belted cattle, each

pens on the north side Of the tent.

and one second. His animals range in
size from little sucking pigs to enor-
nous boars, showing every mark of
advanced breeding. Pork is the main
object in swine breeding and grow
ing and Mr.. Johnson has some hogs
that will probably dress as much pork

the fact that some of the best hogs in
the world are grown I'm the Salt River

The ex- plosion was of such force as to partially wreck the smelting plant and many small houses in the immediate vicinity, while window glasses three miles distant were broken.
 The men were tunneling under the mound of slag when the explosion oc- cured. Eight of the workmen in the tunnels furtherest removed from the ex- posion were taken out alive, bruised and lacerated from contact with the caving debris, but none of them considered se- riously hurt.
 At nghtfall two bodies had been re- moved from the tunnel nearest to the scene of the explosion and three other workmen who are known to have been in the same tunnel caunot be communi- cated with and 1t is not thought pos sible that they are alive. In other tun- nels imprisoned workmen are signaling to the rescuers and the work of digging into these tunnels is proceeding tonight All of those included among the dead are Mexicans.
 Of the injured who were struck by fly ing debris Jose Melandozo. 1t is believed, will die. The others, while badly cut, it is believed will recover. William l.. Davis, carpenter at the smelter, and Thomas Sykes, foreman, are among those injured. The others are Mexicans.

 ON. TURNKEY FEE

Mobile, December 28.-(Speclal )-Snerin- elect Thomas T. Palmer of Mobile coun- tv returned today from the, meeting at Montgomery of the association of sheriifs of this state. Tonight MT. Palmer gave ont his views as to the reason why the sher,ffs and sheriffs-elect seek to have rectified the omission by the last legfsla- ture of turnkeys' fees when the laws were recodified. MT. Palmer said tnaf II the shertffs are denied the collection or these fees, laxity in the rounding up of va grants is sure to result, as no sherin will be very enthusiastic about digging down in his own pocket to pay deputies for gathering in tramps and other home- less wanderers He said there Is no ob- ieo ton to paying of the wages of deputies, 1,rovided the sheriffs are compensated for going to the expense
 MT. Palmer would not go into details further, saying that in the meeting Of sherifYs. which he admitted was a star chamber affair 1t had been agreed to ap- point Sheriff Hood of Montgomery coun- iy and owner of the Montgomery Journal as spokesman for the association. MT. Hood. being a newspaper man. it was thought he would know what to say to the press.

CONFERENCE ABOUT
 TONBIGBEE LOCKS

Mobile, December 2s.-(Special.) Ut be- came known that all the contractors en- gagged in the construction of locks Nos. 2 and in the Tombigbee river, the first 1S2 and the second 2O5 miles from Mobile. met fin this city on Tuesday for the pur- pose of conferring with the United States engineer in charge of the work, Maj. Clement A. Flagler, who recently suc- ceeded Maj. Henry Jervey in charge of the government work in this district. De- tails of the conference could not be ascer- tained, but it's general object was to ar range for the faster delivery of supplies for the work with view of completing the contracts at the earliest possible date.
 According to estimates of the engineers it will take at least two years to com plete the work on these two locks, or 250 actual working days about 125 days per year being the limit of work in view of the varying stage of the river. The con tract called for the completion of the contract in 300 working days, but accord ing to the contractors the work has been necessarily delayed from number of causes. one of which was the difficulty in getting material with which to prosecute the work.

ELECTION FRAUD
 CASES PECULIAR

West Union, O., December 2S.-Two new features developed at the afternoons ses- sion of the grand jury session investigat- ing wholesale buying of votes in Adams county. One was that of a woman sell ing her sons vote and the other concerned voter who was bought in three dif- ferent ways.
 The woman Is a widow who lives at Peebles. She is accused of having &C., cepted s5 for her sons franchise. Both mother and son were indicted but neither has been arrested.
 A farmer In Jacksonville precinct, who came in from Meigs township today, sur prised the jury by his confession that he was bought three times last cleo ton day. For his promise to vote the straight republican ticket he said he re- ceived $12.50 on a contract to vote the straight democratic ticket he was paid $1O and the price for agreeing to vote for @ certain democratic candidate was $S He pleaded guilty when arraigned and was lisfranchised foa five years, fined s and costs, and given six months in the workhouse, with the prison sentence sus- pended. One hundred and six indictments were returned today, which brings the to- tal up to 99S. e-
 There are indications that the number will reach 150O as predicted by Special Prosecutor w. B. Stephenson.
 Judge Blair's methods in listening to the pleas of guilty are extremely in formal. He calls large proportion or the voters of the county by, their hrst names and when they come into court the scene is rather a social one. The judge sits on one side of a plain table, the indicted man on the other.
 How about it, John. are you guiity?' asked the judge.
 T reckon am. judge" is-the usual re- ply.
 aAll right, John, I'll have to fine you s10 and you can't vote any more. Tor nve years and I'll just put SIX months workhouse sentence on top of that, but l won't enforce 1t as long as you behave.
 "AlI right, judge, you've got the goods on me. Goodby,." and the penitent goes ove,. to the clerk and pays his fine.

Emerson and Intellect.

There are some who rank faith as
the highest of human faculties;
there are others who worship moral
or esthetic beauty; but for Emerson
the ultimate word was mind. God.
or pure mind" Is one of his phrases,
incidental but revealing. HE may
talk of other gods" Mr.. w. G..
Brownell, the eminent critic, re-
marks; his Zeus is intellect. The
hand may be 1saiahs, the voice is
that Of the intelligence. The capi-
tai secret of the preachers profess
sion,' he says, is to convert life into
truth. These five words define his
own work in the world with preci-
sion. And his instrument, his alem-
bic. for this conversion was the in
tellect'
Both the strength and the weak
ness of Emerson, as Mr.. Brownell
interprets him in a recent penetrat-
ing essay in Scribner's, may be
traced to his dedication of mind
His eagle keeDness of mental vision
enabled him to pierce the universe
to its very marrow, but he paid for
his power in "a corresponding def
