The Raiahs of Bustar.

The rajahs Of Bustar are hybrid
rajputs, claiming to be Of the family
of the moon, and have reigned in Bus
tar for between five and six hundred
years. The family bears the name of
Rathputty, and every year the rajah
has to sit on the rath at the festival Of
the Dusseerah wearing the jewels OF
the goddess Dunteshwarre, the tutelary
goddess of the state, which are brought
from Dantawara temple for the pur.
pose.
"Save for the jewels he is clad only
in wreaths Of flowers" says writer
in the Wide World, @and when we
saw him he looked very solemn-al-
most ashamed of himself-as he passed
us.
''In connection with this ceremony
there used to be a brutal custom OF

WHERE is the citizen of this great
state of ours who, at this instant of
time, is not perfectly willing to grant
every member of the present legisla-
ture and indefinite leave of absence
under conditions Warranting them to
remain permanently away from the
turn by the electors? This legislature
began operations under the most favor
able auspices for inaugurating a sys-
tenn of economy that legislative body
might reasonably want. It's pred
ecessors for number of years had
been unduly and unreasonably eXtrava-
giant, and it was hoped that the present
one would profit from experience. But
it seems the mania for spending the
peoples money refuses to brook inter
ference, and that it has become SO
firmly entrenched in the politics of the
state that it is next to impossible to
get rid of or check it. The new en-
ployer's liability law carries with it a
multitude of sinecures together with
provisions warranting an increase when
ever hungry politician wants a job.
1t is bad practice to create commits
SiOnS and clOthe the commissioners with
unlimited authority to create jobs and
places as experience has proven that
the tendency to multiply sinecures is in
proportion to the opportunity to create
them. But the only person who suffers
is the tax payer, and who cares cent
for him? The tax payers are being
bunkoed by the sham reforms and re-
form measures, all of which are pri-
marily intended to make a place for
some shiftless, impecunious, human
drone who cannot earn his salt out OF
an office. This legislature is reform
ing and pruning and changing. 1t is
making over old laws, manufacturing
new ones and tearing up things in gen
eral. 1t is not abolishing single of
flee nor adopting a single measure de-
signed to make it easier for the day
laborer to get his bread or his own
home. All the new commissions, sine
cures and Offices are expensive luxurles
which somebody must put up for. They
are not free like the air we breathe,
but like January berries, come high
Somebody must dig down and up fol
the princely salaries provided for the
cheap men who will fill these sinecures,
and as the politician rarely has any
property, the property owner must dc
the digging down and up. How pleas.

of the legislation passed at this session
is of practical kind and cites the
bill authorizing the state to purchase

ern part of the state Good. My farm

hardheads on his place too large to
move and he would like to have the
state send down machine and help
clear up his land. Besides we notice a
lot of dandelions on our lot that bother
us and won't the state please send US a

Kindly fruits of the earth has for
most persons no definite meaning on
account of the difference in signif-
canoe now attached to the word kind
~ from that used when the expression
was first written. The word kindly in
that connection meant as nearly as
possible ''of it's kind" and the express
sion kindly fruits of the earth
meant "the fruits of the earth each
after it's kind"

REJECTED LOVER
TAKES THREE LIVES
Kills the Girl and Her Father
and fhcn illmsoiE

Olivia. Mimi, Aug. 7.-William
Wolff, his daughter Cora and Edward
Corey were shot dead at the Wolf
residence here.
Young Corey, 1t appeared, was in
love with the Wolff girl but had been
rejected by her the day before the
shooting. He called at the girls home
but was ordered by her father, WILL
lam Wolf, to leave the place and not
to return.
1t is thought that Corey obtained a
key to the Wolf house, for In the
morning he went to the Wolf place
while the family was asleep. removed
his shoes at the door and went into
the house and upstairs to Cora's room.
The intruder's entrance to the room
caused the girl to scream and her
father, who was sleeping down stairs,
responded quickly to her cry.
As Wolff entered the bedroom Corey
drew a revolver and shot him dead.
Mrs. Wolff, who was the only other
member of the family at home, then
ran from the house to Sheriff Vicks'
residence, two blocks distant, and no
titled the sheriff.
Wick and Marshal Sherin arrived
at the Wolff residence In few min
utes, but when they attempted to en-
ter the bedroom Corey threatened to
shoot A moment later two more
shots were fired and when officers
forced their way into the room they
found Corey, Wolf and the daughter
dead.
Corey had disrobed himself, evident.
ly before the girl had awakened.
Both the Corey and Violin families
are among the oldest of Olivia.

DECLARES DEAL
CHECKED PANIC
Roosevelt Defends Absorp-
tion Of Tennessee Steel. .
ACTED FOR PEOPLES GOOD

Ex-President Appears Before House
investigating Committee and Reads
Long Statement in Defense of His
Action in Permitting the Steel Cor
poration to GobbIe Its Big Rival.
New York, Aug. Former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt vigorously
justified his action in not opposing the
sale of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company to the United States Steel
corporation when he appeared before
the congressional committee which is
investigating the so called steel trust.
The ex-president had been requested
to appear to tell of the part he had
taken in the historic deal by means of
which the steel corporation acquired
possession of the immense rich ore
deposits owned by the Southern COM
pany, and his testimony took the form
of written statement, in which he
set forth in detail every step taken by
him in sanctioning that transaction,
together with his reasons for acting
as he did.
He did not advise the transaction,
he said, but he did not forbid it, be-
cause he believed it imperatively
necessary that something should be
done to check the panic which was
beginning to spread throughout the
country. That the action he took ac-
complished just what it was intended
cation for every move he made, he
contended.
When Colonel Roosevelt concluded
his testimony he received the thanks
