pointed agents who in order to get tie
goods at wholesale prices and on
credit were required to sign an order,
which they readily did. Instead Of
orders, the agents were surprised to
learn that their names were signed to
negotiable notes for 5000. 90 each and
that these notes had been transfer red
to the banks. They have all learned
something, but the price OF their
tuition Is considered costly.

AN INDEPENDENT SCOUT
BY IONNIE REB.

In tbs winter of 1868, Gen.
VIM. E. Jones' brigade, with the
exception of Major Whites Bat
talon, was enca mped at Mar
row Passage about 2 ID miles
South of Woodstock. The Fed
eral forces were at Winchester.
A company of the Maryland
Cavalry Battalion had been on
picket. one mile North of Wood
stock. On being relieved from
picket duty, instead OF returning
to camp, they determined to take
an independent scout and find out
what they could about the enemy.
Their journey was uneventful
until they encountered the pickets
a short distance South of Win
chester and the reserve only one
mile this side of the city.
One of the men in the party
has said that when they charged
the reserve, one of them inquired,
''Deitch Spreche?" and Johnny
Il have no time to |

pistol and passed on.
Not deeming it safe to attack |
with one company, the force in |
Winchester, they started to leiz-
urly return to their camp at
Narrow Passage. They had not
travelled far, when they dis
covered that they were pursued
BY regiment of cavalry and the
ace for twenty-five miles was
lutte lively.
When they reached Maurer-
own, the condition of theirI
1orses was such that they feared
hey could not safely reach camp,
t they continued on the pike.
They turned into the Saumsville!
Dad which they knew led to the
middle road. The ground was
oft and muddy, and the besmat-
cred enemy did not follow them
much further than one mile.
One of the Marylanders who
lad a long wirded, fleet horse,
ucceeded in reaching Gen.
ones Headquarters and inform
d him of conditions down the
DAD.
The General at once ordered

minutes the brigade was on the

Iaurertown. The eleventh and
he other regiments of the
were upon them in about
he twinkling of an eye. There
vas no time to form, and those
who were not captured on the
spot began the race of their lives.
Up and down the hills, the Con-
federates with their fresh horses
continued to press them, picking
up prisoners, sometimes singly, |
sometimes IN squads, until they |
reached Stephens City. What
was left of the regiment was per-
mitted to return to Winchester.
One of the enemy described Col.
Funston as man weighing
a DO ut 400 pounds, with a horse
in proportion and a saber as long
as a fence rail, with which he
swept their men from their
horses, from one side of the road
to the other. The brigade re-
turned to their camp bringing
with them about 200 prisoners
with their arms and a large num-
Der of horses.

BULLS HAT IN THE RING

Santa Fe, N. M, April 2.-When word was received here from Wash ington this afternoon that Albert B . Fall had drawn the senatorial term that expires next March, William H. Andrews immediately announced his candidacy as Falls successor. It was the withdrawal of Andrews from the race last week that made possible the election of Fall and Catron.
 The Spanish-Americans, following Andrews announcement, began to line up their supporters, insisting that they, too, gave way in the selection of the first two senators from the state and consequently they should now be allowed to name one of their race as successor to Fall
 The present legislature will make the choice of man to succeed Fall, but whether at the present session or at the session that convenes next Jan uary will be determined only after a bitter fight.

INDEPENDENTS WIN MILWAUKEE
 ELECTION
Majority of Combination Democrats and Republicans Over the Socialist Ticket Was 17,o00. Non-Parti- san City Election Law to be
 Passed

Milwaukee, April 2-With a flood of non-partisan ballots, Milwaukee voters today swept from o..ce, the city's widely known Socialist admin istration, installed a non-partisan mayor, board of alderman and county board of supervisors and probably eliminated every national political party frum partic;patiny in future municipal elections in the state of Wisconsin.
 For as result of the non-partisau victory in the city of Milwaukee, the state legislature at a special session soon to be convened, is expected to pass a distinctly non-partisan city election statute. The Socialists de- feated such a measure at the last ses- sion of the legislature, but today's rout was said practically to have laid So- cialist strength in the state general as- sembly. Nearly complete returns from the 146 precincts in the city show that Dr. Gerhard A: Bading, the non-partisan candidate for mayor, de feated Mayor Emil SeideI, Socialist, by a majority of about 17,000. From the head of the ticket down through the common council and county board of supervisors, the voters piled up equally large totals for candidatee on the non-partisan ticket.

THE EAGLE MINES
Development Work Proceeds Rapidly
 In Competent Hands

W. M. Mccoy, for years with the Shannon Copper Co.,, and now manag- CT of the Eagle Gold & Copper Mining Co.,, was in the city on Wednesday to attend a meeting of the directors The company owns twenty claims four miles northwest of Morenci and some of them already produced considerable ore, mined in the fashion of years ago. There is a five stamp mill on the pro- perty which is now operating on free milling gold ore which runs about S24 per ton, nearly all of which is saved on the plates. On March 18th, car of ore was hipped to the Shannon smelter that averaged 745 per cent copper and also values in silver.
 The property embraces a variety of minerals, gold, silver, lead and copper veins being carried in different sec tions. Galena ores carrying gold, sil yer and lead has been tested to val ues of $51 per ton. A shaft now 40 feet deep is being sunk on the vein which is one and one half feet wide in the shaft bottom Test assays of a richs treak in this vein have shown as high as S1S7 per ton.
 All the development work at present is carried by the ores shipped to the smelters. A car of the galena is now being prepared for shipment to Fl Paso. The copper deposit is said to be very large and virtually a surface proposition easy to mine and handle. Shipments will be kept up from ores output in the development process
 MT. J. J. Hall mill man and min CT of long exerience in California has charge of the mill and meeting with good success. He is greatly impress ed with the property and calls it winner.
 Among the Clifton people interested in the Eagle are: w. J. Riley, cash fer of the First National Bank, E. V. Horton, John R. Hampton, John R. McRea, M. H. Kane, E. c. Bunker, and w. M. Mccoy.

DAMAGE BY MISSISSIPPI
 FEARFUL
Levees Have Broken in Many Places Thousands of Acres are Inundated And the Property Loss Will Be
 Great Eight Lives Claimed

ST. LOUIS,. Mar. 4.-The area af- fected by the flood caused by almost unprecedented volume of water in the Mississippi, was not extended a great deal yesterday but the situation at the deluged centers is becoming mora menacing. Two more levee breaks were reported near Chester, III, where 30, 900 acres of farming land was inun- dated.
 Twelve hours of sunshine and slight check in the rise of the river has combined to give the general situation a more optimistic outlook in the opinion of the government en- gineers, who said last night that if the stage at Memphis does not go over 45 feet the levees will hold.
 The weather forecaster at Mem phis, however, urged managers of railroads entering there from the west to warn inhabitants of those dis tricts to move to higher ground.
 The number of lives lost was brought to eight yesterday when the death of three railroad men near Fulton, Ky, was reported, and two more were drowned near Clarksville, Tenn. The latter drove off the road into overflow water of the Red river.
 Hickman, Ky, is the worst suf- ferer. The 2,0OO inhabitants of the town were augmented yesterday by the arrival of 1000 refugees from Dorena, Mo. The food supply at Hick- man will last three more days. No trains have been in or out of the town for several days, and foods and tents enroute there are held up by waShoutS.
 At Columbus, Ky, which was the first town undated, the situation is grave. Residents are leaving the city rapidly and there is much suffering in outlying districts. The damage in that vicinity is estimated at $10O,OOO.
 Damage at Memphis is estimated at $250,000. About 1900 persons have been driven from their homes. The gas plant was put out of commission. It is estim that fully 300,000 acres of farm lands in Kentucky, Tennessee Missouri, Arkansas and Missouri are flooded and probably 9OO,0OO more are untitled because of fear that the levees may break.
