pidI as oue UIdcki alIer announcer was
marked with the cross X indicating
"sold," Sometimes a lady would gel
into the srowd and do some buying
and retire again to the bowery to pass
away the time with the others, For
four hours the bidding never. Jagged
part of the time the lots were desig-
mated by the auctioneer, and the, rest
of the time bids were made with the
understanding that the highest bid
der should have his or. her lhoice, Of
all that was left. When selection
was announced it was crossed of and
bidding would begin again, the great
est good nature prevailing.
Some OF the local people who
thought Of buying lots on which to
build for winter use, waited for the
fellows who were keen for lots to
get what they wanted, evidently sdr-
prised at the prices they were paying,
and pleased at the brisk sales, but to-
wards evening they began to wake up;
they realized that unelss they got
into the game there would soon be
nothing left for them, and it, was
amusing to see them rally round and.
begin bidding as they saw their choice
of lots going to other people. The
train was announced to start back
at six o'clock, and such was the
eagerness to buy that the auctioneer
remained at his post knocking them
OF to purchasers until about ten min
utes to six, when he jumped into al
surrey and was hurried away to the
train that reluctant conductor was
holding against orders.
The total number of lots sold was
4lS, and the amount of sales was
about twenty thousand dollars.
On the way to Blackfcots the great |
transactions of the day. and every
est enthusiasm prevailed over the

Investments made. Little else was

panse of tillable lands of the several

Two Congresses.

The indications are that Clifford Pinchot will find the Los Angeles congress less sympathetic than the St Paul gathering. The latter con- gress was controlled by men whose notions of conservation were theor- etical, who had no immediate inter est in the resources of the west or in their development. Some with no definite ideas regarding conservation followed the lead of MT. PinchOt for political reasons.
 That is not likely to be the case in the Los Angeles congress com posed of men to whom development of the mining, oil and coal industries is a matter of immediate moment. The west, and California especially. is generally friendly to MT. Pinchot as an insurgent, but when their own interests are threatened with such restrictions as MT. Pinchot's well known ideas would impose, they are not likely to follow his lead because they love him more than they do his political opponents.

- WITNESS TO BE FEARED.

Once upon a time the general coun- cil had been accused of delaying with an important measure because of a slush fund that was being used to block legislation. In order to set it. self right with the public the general council had called an open meeting and had brought the men before it who had made the charges.
 All that could be got out of one of the witnesses, who was considered important, was a broad and sweeping accusation. The chairman of the meeting called the witness to task by demanding:
 "Generalities are not what we de- sire in this hearing. What we de- mand is specific charges. You under stand-speclfic charges"
 In the attendance at the hearing was a subordinate in the city hall who was noted for his lack of edu- cation on inquisitorial proceedings He heard the remark of the chairman of the meeting and turned to a friend who was standing near by with this comment:
 There's going to be hell when they bring that fellow here"
 What fellow?"
 Why, that man named Specific Charges. ."-Douisville Times.

NO SIRENS NEED APPLY.

They smiled at the peoples attacks. They laughed at a Federal fine.
 They seldom got fussy
 When called octopussy- They knew it was foolish to whine But charge they are morally lax, And anger replacses their phlegm They flOut the aspersion
 With fevered assertion No red headed siren for them. She may be as lovely as sin, Her hair a BeelZebub's net;
 Her lips something coral
 But if she's not moral She's not in the Standardized set. Her eyes may be sapphires a-twin, But Puritan spirit is grim.
 No Titan blOndie
 Can labor for John D. No red headed siren for him! Peace, Avenue Euclid the pure! Don't fire the benevolent John;
 In fear he's been hirin'
 Some sunsetty siren His foes to be spying upon! He may make one lady a lure; But peace to your conscience prim! She's Money, the Olden;
 Her tresses are golden No red-headed siren for him!

Galveston Was Stunted.

The reports from the census bu- reau show that the population of at least two cities in the United States has decreased within the last decade. One is Chelsea, Mass, and the other Galveston, Texas. The decrease of the former may be accounted for by an industrial shifting about.
 Galveston contains 500 fewer peo- pie than it did in 1900, notwithstand- ing it is now and has been for some years one of the most thriving cities of the south. Its port is busier than any other in the United States with the single exception of the port of New York.
 But all that Galveston Is, it has become within less than ten years. It had less of a start than if it had started from nothing. It was builded on ruins from which it's terrified in habitants had fled and for a time. at least until the grea sea wall was constructed, those who had fled held the site in terror, which was shared by others who might have been att tracted

Identity of crippen,s Victim.

A cOroner's jury which has been Investigating the murder of Belle FL more, the actress fife of Dr Crippen, or more specifically has been investi- gating the question of the identity of the remains found in pr. Crippen's cellar yesterday decided that they were the remains of his wife and formally. charged Crippen with mur- der
 The English procedure is different from our own in which the coroner's findings would precede all other ac- ton in the case.
 Crippen and Miss Leneve have all ready had a trial corresponding to our preliminary examination and a week ago were held one as a princi- pal and the other as an accessory after the fact. But that trial by no means clinched the case for the pros ecution. In fact it did not indicate that the prosecution had a good case. There was not only no convincing proof that the body found was that of Belle Elmore, but br. Pepper. a gov ernment expert witness, reluctantly admitted that he had been unable to distinguish the sex. Under English law, the establishment of identity is absolutely necessary to conviction. This establishment must be definite -cicumstantial evidence on this point is not admissible.
 By what proof the coroner's jury has reached its findings we do not know but it must be presumed that the evidence was entirely satisfac- tory for in English procedure a point is nevers strained to reach an end.
 English murder trials are conduct ed without regard to sentiment or the clamor of the public through the press or otherwise. The end sought to be gained is exact justice. Unless the evidence is conclusive as show ing guilt, the defendant is acquitted If found guilty according to the evil dence the prisoners fate is sealed; but neither conviction nor acquittal depends upon the sympathy of the people or the wealth or social posi- tion of the accused.

THE FALL OF THE YEAR.

Farewell to Summer-the year is fast
 aging, The spirit of Autumn is come to
 the dells. And the soft piping cricket Is sadly
 engaging The gathering dusk with its plain
 tive farewells. O, blest is the season when Summer
 time closes, And fair is the earth in the mellow
 and sere, O. sweet is the breath of the fast
 dying roses, In the Fall of the year. In the Fall of the year, when the
 sun is soft-beaming Through faint phosphorescence en-
 yelling the sky, And upon the brown hillsides the
 sumach is gleaming As blooms in their beauty soon
 coming to die. O, swift are the geese in their clam
 orous warning Of the rigors of Winter too soon to
 be here, O. soft is the sun on the bright wings
 of morning, In the Fall of the year. St Louis, Mo, st-Dispatch.

and it has probably been small in comparison with its growth in the next two years.
 What 1t might have been today but for the Galveston Disaster" we can only conjecture.
 Before that befell it was the fore most of gulf cities and was increas- ing in importance more rapidly. It was the foremost of Texas cities which have increased phenomenally, Fort Worth more than fifty per cent and San Antonio, now the metropolis of the Lone Star state, by almost fifty per cent But for that inunda- tion Galveston would undoubtedly have led them all.
 There can be no other inundatlon. The genius of man spurred by neces- sity and guided by fearful knowl- edge has seen to that. Confidence has been long since restored so that there is now nothing in the way Of Galveston's future growth.
