THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The recent barring out of the republican party of Alabama and North Carolina on a basis of democratic disfranchisement, of Afro-American republicans is the result of plans and work of McKinley, Hanna and Roosevelt. The present administration and national republican committee are underneath and back of it, or it would never have been done. What are you going to do about it? These are times when the Negro politician and paper wearing a white politician's political collar had better begin to get ready to go way back, sit down and keep still, because there will be no place left for them. The loyal, manly and intelligent Afro-American will now forge to the front and direct the political cutting and slashing of such leadership as we have called attention to—a stench in the nostrils of every decent self-respecting and honorable republican, black or white, in the country. Let our newspapers, the true race advocates we mean, tell the truth, explain the situation to their thousands of readers, especially those here in the north, and thus help to "make Rome howl" between now and 1905. It is absolutely necessary. Do your clear duty! Without the favor of Senator Hanna (who, by the way, hasn't had a word to say in denunciation or condemnation of the action of the "ily-white" republicans(?) of Alabama and North Carolina) and his national republican(?) committee, those alleged republicans of the states mentioned would not have dared to take the action they have—barring from the party Afro-American republicans disfranchised by democrats. How many of our people have been shot down like dogs in their tracks in the south since reconstruction days, simply because they tried to vote a republican ticket and elect some of these same white scalawags to office who have now turned upon them, adding insult to the democratic disfranchisement injury they doubtless aided and abetted? There are Afro-Americans in Cleveland and Ohio who will in November prove to their outraged brethren in the south that they do not overlook, forget and forgive all the time, and they won't throw off true republicanism either in doing it. Hanna and Roosevelt do not stand for the Lincoln, Grant and Sumner kind of republicanism by a "jug full." PROF. STEDD AWAKENING THE SOUTHERN MIND. We doubt that Prof. Andrew Stedd, of Emory college, Georgia, was expecting his able and truthful article as published in the Atlantic Monthly to receive the hearty and almost universal condemnation of the southern press. He very doubtless was in the belief that his words of counsel and truth would be appreciated and reciprocated to some extent. But the thing he was not looking for has happened. A Virginian by birth and the son of an eminent divine of the south, he must very naturally feel that he would be commended for candor and for the interest he felt in the southern people. But the southern people are not made in that way. One must embrace and conform to the idea of the southern mind right or wrong, if not, he must be denounced. Prof. Stedd assumed the attitude of an independent thinker, advocating the integrity of principle and the greatest good for the greatest number, and now comes in for his share of abuse and denunciation. He pleads the cause of the Negro from a standpoint of righteousness and fair dealing and vindicates his claims as a man and a citizen. In moderate and generous terms he asks the better Christian element of the south to come to the rescue and save not alone the black race, but the whites as well, from demoralization and hopeless depravity. With no attempt to disguise or parley with the truth, Prof. Stedd spoke like one sworn to duty, and in consequence of which has sacrificed his position as professor in the college and has become a hero and a martyr for the sake of humanity and justice. The utterances of Prof. Stedd, though strong and startling, are known to be absolutely true, and so true that one needs wonder why this consternation and indignation among the southern people. They cannot dare deny that they have quite to the letter conformed to the very practices charged to them. These practices have been and are not only outrageous and criminal, but by far too intolerable to be borne in a civilized and Christian land. One may well pause in amazement to think that the very acts as recited by Prof. Stedd do occur and are tolerated in Christian America. It truly seems that the American mind is not only corrupt and sadly perverted, but that it is THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 13. 1902. demented. Instead of regaining its equilibrium after so many years of persecution and torture, it betrays deplorable inhumanity and a very defiance of the Creator Himself. The unthinking animal, when maddened, seeks in merciless rage to devour its victim because it is void of sense and reason. What better do they who in their fury, scorn and inhumanity, prey upon their black brother and in defiance of every Christian appeal and the nobler impulses of our nature, pursue the course which belongs alone to the most beastly and depraved of human beings. Prof. Stedd, after all, has but tamely represented the awful and cruel condition of affairs as they are carried out in the southland. Words cannot express the appalling evil and calamity which to-day manifest the gradual tendency of the southern mind. Nor do Americans sensibly realize the terrible depravity into which the whole country is drifting. We are led away by the grandeur of wealth and power, by the glitter of our growing prestage abroad and by our unsurpassed show in learning and knowledge in the arts and sciences, and the striking evidences of our religious growth and development. But appearances are often deceitful. The inhuman practices in southern life will remain as a withering blight, permeating the body politic and sapping and destroying the very life-blood of the nation. The pride and scorn which flauntts themselves in haughty contempt of human rights, the endeared rights of a brother man, and which defiantly spurn birthright liberty under a black skin will some day reap the fruits of their own folly. Prof Stedd, like the thousands of well-informed Americans, beholds the enormity of the crimes which disgrace the American name, but unlike these many thousands, he dares to cry aloud and spare not. He dares to speak out against a crying evil and to denounce it ere the bolts of an avenging God fall upon us. Showing mercy unto a people once struggling for liberty and independence, that same God must now expect us to practice mercy and goodness among men. If we fail in doing our part, we cannot hope to have His forbearance. Let the truth be promulgated, let there be a growing sentiment in the face of developments and let the strong, the brave and the true emulate the example of the noble Prof. Stedd and move on to the duty before them. "KILL AND CRIPPLE." Let the loyal (to the race first) black republican of Ohio and the north kill and cripple politically in November. Help wipe off the face of the earth the present rotten leadership of our party—the kind that forsakes and vitally injures the battle-scarred Afro-American republican of the south in his deepest distress (disfranchisement); that appoints democrats to office in the south; that appoints a democrat (Capers, of South Carolina,) a member of the national republican committee, to head off the election of an Afro-American (Deas) by the state committee of South Carolina; that appoints a murderer and lyncher, internal revenue collector of South Carolina, and when Afro-Americans defeat his confirmation in the United States senate, tells the mobocrat it is sorry it was not successful in securing his confirmation; the kind that prevented a republican congress from favorably considering anything of value of vital interest to the race; that has the same body place a premium upon democratic disfranchisement by passing the reapportionment bill and thus INCREASING the congress representation of several southern states that had adopted disfranchisement amendments to their constitutions—this, too, in defiance of a mandatory provision of the United States constitution, which calls for a DECREASE of the same; that had a republican congress re-enact the Chinese exclusion act barring Afro-Americans from testifying as witnesses in certain cases in United States courts; that—O, 'pshaw! why enumerate further. Let our newspapers tell the people; explain all to them, and advise them to stay in the ranks of the republican party, but kill and cripple politically on election day, as Hanna and his republican followers have done in recent years here in Cleveland when they assisted in the election of Mayor John Farley and Mayor Tom L. Johnson, both democrats—and others. Sound the alarm and carry the news. Black scullions with a white politician's collar, seat!!!! Go away back and make room for MEN of the race and loyal WOMEN. Book Expert Drowned New York City.—Wlliam H. Ash, employed in the book store of G. P. Putnam's Sons, was drowned Saturday while bathing alone in Lake Sunapee, N. H., where he was spending his vacation. His body was found within four feet of the dock. His employers were notified and they arranged for a burial at Newport, N. H. Ash was something of a celebrity among book buyers. He was unusually bright and spent so many years in the employ of the Putnams that he came to be known for his acquaintance with rare volumes and editions. His mother, with whom he lived at Winfield, L. I., died a few months ago. Ash was 29 years old. Joe Walcott Signs to Flight.

Fisher Million, a negro, who was indicted in 1901, for vagrancy and who has been at large since, has been captured in Lawrenceburg, Ky., and tried before Judge Davis in the county court. The judge returned a verdict of guilty and fixed his punishment at being sold into servitude for a period of 12 months, the highest penalty. He will be put on the block and sold into servitude by Sheriff Briggs, if a purchaser can be found. The officials hardly know what to do in the event of no sale.

Eight hundred cement finishers and helpers who have been on a strike at Chicago because of a disagreement over the wage scale, have called the strike off and gone back to work.

The coal miners' strike in the Kanawha and New river fields of West Virginia, involving 15,000 miners, which has been in existence since June 7, is practically at an end. Each local union is instructed to go back to work on the best terms possible without regard to the action of any other local. Dr. Edward Eggleston, the famous author and novelist, is dead at his cottage at Lake George, N. Y. Apoplexy was the cause of death. His most famous work was the "Hoosier Schoolmaster."

No Such Thing Ever Shown by the Average Afro-American Soldier. Reckless Bravery of the Ninth Cavalry—The Famous Coeur D'Alene Riots—Thrilling Reminiscence! New York City.—That great daily newspaper, The Tribune, of this city, recently contained the following editorial: X The southerners used to say that the Negroes would never make good soldiers, but the Ninth cavalry, a Negro regiment, has completely upset this theory. The Ninth is a gallant and extremely effective regiment, and to it as a body, and to its members as individuals, there is no such thing as fear. In the Coeur d'Alene riots in Idaho the Ninth cavalry made an enduring record for bravery. From the moment when first the regiment went into action against the rioters its reputation for reckless bravery, coupled with coolness and determination when in action, was made. The tale of the Coeur d'Alene riots is one of unbridled lawlessness, of rapine, of destruction of property and of bloodshed. One of the first acts of the strikers was to coast a dynamite loaded car down an incline. It exploded at the bottom and 60 lives were sacrificed. This wholesale killing was followed by others until the whole countryside was in a state of terror, and the only law was mob law, and anarchy seemed completely enthroned. It was when things had come to this pass that the Ninth cavalry came, and what a coming it was! Upon those hardy mine owners who had braved the dangers that beset them and remained to guard their properties the strikers had served notice that they must leave the country. Eleven o'clock on the following morning was set as the hour of departure, and the penalty of disobedience to this arbitrary flat was death. The mine owners knew, but the strikers did not, that the Ninth cavalry had been ordered to the Coeur d'Alene region and was due at 10:30 o'clock, one short half hour earlier than the time scheduled for their own enforced departure. After an anxious night came an equally anxious day. Would the Ninth arrive in time? That was the burning question. The railroad tracks lay along the side of a creek which was crossed by a bridge, under which the strikers had placed dynamite in large quantity. Across the creek a hill rose, and this hill was bare of grass or trees. Fire had scorched and killed all vegetation on it and its sides in consequence rose bleak and forbidding. Upon its shoulders and crest the strikers began to assemble as the dawn grew into day. Their purpose was to make good their threat that the mine owners should "hit the pike" at 11 o'clock. Half-past 10, therefore, found them in ominous force upon the hillside. Then came the Ninth, and as the train that carried them began to slow up the colored troops poured from the cars. With whoops and wild yells the bridge was taken before the astounded rioters even thought of exploding the dynamite that lay beneath it. The bridge crossed, the Ninth rushed on the hill, the bare sides of which were crowded with the strikers. Then the strikers opened fire, and the troops replied without stopping their onward rush. It was a game of each man for himself and each man in the Ninth was trying to get to the top of that hill first. So on they charged and, without check to pace, fired as they went. Nothing human could have withstood that rush and the rioters, albeit they had in some cases behaved like fiends, were only human, after all. So after a determined resistance they broke and ran, while the black wave surged to the top of the hill—and stayed there. More than a hundred and fifty strikers lay dead or wounded on that hillside, and with, among and beyond them also lay many of the black soldiers. It was a fearful lesson, but marked the beginning of the end, and the Ninth stayed in the Coeur d'Aline region till order was restored. While this took months to accomplish and many encounters with the rioters occurred, there was no pitched battle again. The southerner "befo' de wah" did not believe the Negro possessed fighting ability—a belief in which many in the north shared, and this belief to a certain extent is maintained to this day. It is not so, however, in the northwest—there they neither believe nor disbelieve—they know, and know, too, by bitter experience. No better fighter than the African lives when he is well officered and well drilled. Whether or not he can command as well as serve, the future may prove. As a soldier in the ranks, however, the Negro has proved himself to be of a metal that rings true and to be possessed of courage, coolness and daring when in action. Good for Mr. Harris!

Philadelphia, Pa.—On September 3 in the great bicycle race, Taylor jumped to the front with Kramer and Lawson trying hard to overtake him. Taylor won out by a good length. Lawson entered a protest gainst Taylor and Bowler, claiming they did team work. Referee Eaton disqualified Taylor and Bowler and gave Lawson first place and Kramer second. This is outrageous, when one remembers how often Taylor has been "pocketed" by the team work of Kramer, Lawson, Kimble and other white riders and complained of it only to have his complaints ignored.

At the ‘Western Union Baptist as- sociation’s annual meeting at Shiloh church last week many able minis- ters were present. The delegates and visitors numbered over 150, rep- resenting over 16,000 Baptists in Ohio. The first session was called to order by the moderator, Rev. H. D. Proud, of the Mound Street church, Cincin- nati, The address of weleome was made by Mrs. Clara Evans. The fol- lowing officers were elected for the ensuing year: Rev. H. D. Proud, Cin- cinnati, moderator; E. W. Curry, Ur- bana, secretary; Rev. Peter Everett, of. Xenia, treasurer; Rev. W. H. Grimes, vice-moderator. The annual sermon was delivered by Rev. H. L. Page, of Oalvary church, Cincinnati. Addresses were delivered by Rev. Riddle, of Nashville; Rev. I. V. Bry- ant, of Gallipolis; Hon. H. C. Smith ‘and others. Those prominent from out of the state were Rev. T. B. Green, of Michigan, and Rev. A. M. ‘Lewis, of Pennsylvania. Probably ‘the best address of the opening ses- sion was delivered by Rev. J. J. Jack- son, of Friendship Baptist church of Cincinneti. The latter was educated -at Denison university, Granville. He ‘spoke on “The Educational Work of Our Denominations.” _ It is said “Little Willie” Clifford is here.

It won't take much guessing to know who and what is behind it. Read carefully Rev. Bundy’s interview in these coi- umns. The Negro who can swallow those facts and then join in any Hanna league or club movements like Fulton’s has little or no self or race respect. Let them severely alone. Rev. Chas. Bundy, president of our local ministers! union, said a few days ago in an interview published in a daily paper that “the republican leaders have not treated us fairly, and we are disgusted. The colored people hold the balance of power, and they can have their rights if they demand them. We might as well be- gin the fight in this city as anywhere else, so we are preparing this open letter to colored voters. Our griev- ances are striking and of a nature to appeal to every colored voter. We have been disfranchised in several states of the south and the republic- an majority in congress refused to do anything. It also refused to legis- late against the “Jim Crow” car laws of many southern states and against the monstrous cancerous crime, lynching. It passed the reapportion- ment Dill increasing the congress representation of several of those ‘disfranching’ southern states, when the federal law explicitly says it should be decreased in proportion to the number of citizens disfranchised. It also refused to do ANYTHING for my people and capped the climax when it re-enacted and amended the Chinese exclusion act, which robs every Afro-American of the citizen- right of testifying in the United States courts as a witness in certain eases. Then, too, Senator Hanna chairman of the national republican committee, appointed a democrat by the name of John G. Capers (white) a member of the national republican committee when he knew the great majority of the members of the state ‘republican committee of South Caro- lina had indorsed for the place its chairman (Deas), an Afro-American, whom he also tried to prevent being elected to the chairmanshjp.

Douglass Sends Notice of a 84.25 Assessment on Each Share of “Full Paid and Non-Assessable” Stock of the Douglass Automatic Straw and Grain Binder Co, . Chicago, Tl, Aug. 21, 1902. The stockholders of the Douglass ‘automatic straw and grain binder met on August 18 at St. Mark’s chureh, Chicago, Ill, 47th and State streets, and they voted each stock- holder to be taxed $4.25 on each share to secure the patents in foreign coun- tries. The machine is in the patent office now in the United States. All stockholders are requested to meet at Mt. Zion Congregational chureh, Maple street, Tuesday evening, Sep- tember 30, and pay assessments of $4.25 on each share they hold. All certificates forfeited if not paid on or before the ist of October. WM. DOUGLASS, Pres,, 532 Tremont street, Chicago, Ill. E. SCOTT, Secretary, 1871 Magnolia avenue, Chiengo, Tl. It will be seen from the above that Mr. Douglass is threatening the share-holders of his automatic straw and grain binder company with a for- feiture of their stock unless a $4.25 assessment on each share of stock is paid by October 1, He 1s doing this in ‘the face of the fact that each share of stock bears the inscription “FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE,” and also in spite of the. additional fact ‘that stock to the amount of many ‘times the sum necessary to procure the American and foreign patents on his alleged invention has been sold during the past half dozen or more years in Chicago, Cleveland and else- where. We again notify stockhold- ers in this Douglass company that it is high time to call a halt and that some one of them who has paid cash for the share or shares they hold, as a matter of protection to themselves and other stockholders, should take the matter into the courts. We ad- vise every stockholder in tmis com- munity to hold their money and NOT put anpther cent into the thing until Mr. Douglass patents his alleged in- vention. We do not believe that the law will permit him to cause a for- feiture of stock in event of a refusal to pay the $4.25 assessment. It would be a good idea for the local stock- holders to hold @ meeting as soon as “possible (within a week or two) and ‘decide upon the proper course to pursue. In any event, do not pay the $4.25 per share demanded. You don’t have to do so and ought not to be asked to pay it aceording to the in- scription we have called attention to relative to each share being “FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE.” Ex- plain this to all of your friends who are stockholders in the company and urge them to hold a meeting as soon ne RS ARE GLACIERS INCREASING? Millions of Square Miles of Land Surfaces Are Covered by Enormous Masses of Ice. For the past five years physical geographers have been giving a great deal of attention to the study of gla- ciers. One question that has inter- ested them very much is whether since the beginning of the historic period the glaciers of the world have aug- mented or diminished in area. No perfectly definite information with re- gard to this question has been ob- tained, though some ge?eral conclu- sions have been reached, says a scien- tific journal. It is traditional in the Alps, however, and some other regions that valleys now occupied by glaciers were formerly pasture lands. On the whole it is certain that for several cen- | turies till quite recently there was a gradual increase in the area of gla- ciation, Glaciers everywhere are in a state of continual movement—they are con- stantly increasing in length or short- ening. Climatic variations are, of course, the cause of these oscillations, ‘though the influence of climate upon glacial movement is not yet fully un- derstood. When the laws governing the movements of glaciers are well known the science of meteorology will be considerably further advanced than it is to-day. There is good evidence to show that in the arctic regions in the eighteenth century and in part of the nineteenth an important extension of glaciers oc- curred. In Spitzbergen, for example, harbors which whalers had often vis- ited in the seventeenth and early in the eighteenth centuries were filled later with glaciers, sv that they could no longer be used by shipping. The advance of glaciers in Iceland is said to have covered places that had for- merly been the sites of farms and churches. Glaciers seem, within the historic period, to have attained their greatest extent about 1860. Since that time few of them have grown to an important degree. Many of them have diminished in size, and others have en- tirely disappeared. This phenom- enon has been observed in all parts of the world, Probably few persons imagine that glaciers cover so large an area as they do. The land surfaces which are to- day buried under glacial snow and ice are supposed to be about 4,485,000 square miles in extent, or more than one and one-half times as large as the United States. This enormous mass of ice is distributed very unevenly over the world, and nearly all of it is in the polar regions. Outside of the perpet- ually frozen north and south, only about 19,500 square miles of surface are covered with glaciers, It will be interesting to remember that there are two distinct types of glacia phenomena—the Alpine and the polar. One of the best examples of the Alpine type of glacier is seen in the Mer de Glace at Chamounix, A cirele of peaks surrounds a depres- sion, which is filled by compacted snow and ice known as neve. This is the re- servoir, the source of the glacier. In this depression the snow, either fall- ing from the heavens or brought by winds and avalanches, accumulates to ® great depth, is transformed inte neve, and begins to overflow down the mountain side, a true glacier. It is thus seen that the characteristic fea- ture of Alpine glaciers is that they occupy depressions in relation to the surrounding topography. On the other hand, the polar glacier, instead of being formed in a depres- sion, occupies a culminating position above everything else. It is an enor- mous cap, or cupola, rising above the surrounding lands; it is the dominant feature far and wide. Such, for exam- ple, is the great ice cap of Greenland, and it is thought probable that an enormously thick sheet of ice may cover a continental mass of land in ‘the antarctic regions, and form the Jargest sbeet of ice in tha world, 3 What Newspaper Do You Read?

French Doctor Attempts to Prove That Education Is Hurtful — Ad- vances Facts in Support of His ‘Theory. Dr. Solners has just read before the academy of medicine at Paris a remarkable paper, in which he seeks to establish a corelation between the increase of insanity and crime and the general diffusion of knowl- edge. According to his daring theory, which is plausibly built on numer- ously observed facts, education acts upon certain brains in such a way as to produce cerebral disorders, which may be likened to those produced by poisons upon the stomach and intes- tines. Even superficial knowledge, ‘such as is imparted in primary schools or absorbed from a newspa- per, he declares, is sufficient to cause minor crevices in the gray mat- ter which are responsible for many yet uncatalogued forms of lunacy. Dr. Solners concludes that this world is getting too comjalicated, and that its complication is made too constantly present to every mind by conversations, books, newspapers and spectacles of the busy modern life. He took a list of the abnormal happenings of last week to demon- strate his theories, discussing each case, Among the instances cited were the following: An American woman, aged 40, sud- denly became insane while looking at the engines of an ocean liner. At Touraine a farmer in the course of an innocent controversy mowed off ,both the legs of his opponent with a scythe. A school-teacher, fascinated by re- volving knives, jumped into a huge clay mixer in a porcelain factory and was chopped up like sausage meat. A miller, suddenly seized with an insane frenzy while watching the swiftmoving flour roller, threw into the machine his own five-year-ald child, whose legs were ground before the belt slipped owing to the chok- ing resistance. Two Russians, man and wife, were riding in an automobile down a steep mountain along a precipice, when the woman exclaimed: “What if we should swerve.” Her companion, be- fore he could resist the impulse, obeyed some insane suggestion pre- | voked by the remark ard whirled the | machine into an abyss, where he was | killed and his wife severely injured. | Dr. Solners mentioned many other instances, from which he argued that the human race now is compose¢ mostly of latent dunaties, whose in: dividual lunacy may remain inoffens ive until death or may break loos suddenly under a combination of conditions not yet scientifically de- aie aciaeel NEW FUR SEAL ROOKERY. Aleut. Ellsworth Berthoff Adds to His Laurels by Making a Valuable Str iain Lieut. Ellsworth Berthoff, of the revenue cutter service, who received a gold medal from ‘congress last spring for his part in the overland expedition in Alaska in the winter of 1897-98, and who made a trip to arctic Siberia last year in search of reindeer for the government, has added to these exploits by discover- ing a new fur seal rookery in the Aleutian islands. While cruising among the islands near the extreme western end of the chain early in July as the executive officer of the ‘steamer Manning, Lieut. Bertkoff ‘went ashore with a boat's crew on the island of Bouldyer, There he ‘found two rookeries /of fur seals similar to those found/on the famous |Pribyloff islands, which are situated ‘fully 700 miles in a northeasterly di- ‘rection from Bouldyer. The scene of the newly discovered seal herd is a mere bit of land be- tween Bering sea and the Pacific ocean, fully 3,500 miles west of San Francisco, but still within American jurisdiction. Lieut. Berthoff ap- proached the herd closely enough to learn that none of the seals had been branded, and there was no sign that white men in sea search of fur seal had ever been near the island. _ Nothing jars an invalid more than to “wake up In the morning feeling splendidly and then euddenly remember that Reis sick Chicago Daily News. ———— | The mule always has a kick coming.

ST. LOUIS SCANDAL. Eighteen Members of the City Council Are Implicated. Gullt—Batl Fixed at 645- 000—The Compact, St. Louis, Sept. 9.—A sensation was caused Monday by the issuance of bench warrants for the arrest of 18 members and former members of the house of delegates, on the confession of Delegate J. K. Murrell, who fled to Mexico last spring after being indict- ed for bribery by the December grand jury in connection with the alleged boodling operations of the municipal assembly in relation to the granting of street railroad franchises, and who unexpectedly returned to the city through the efforts of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and surrendered. Following are the names of alleged combine members for whom bench warrants were issued, charging brib- ery and perjury in connection with | Suiburban street railway and other legislation: Ed E. Murrell, John H. Schnettler, Charles F. Kelly, T. E. Albright, George F. Robertson, Louis Decker, John Helms, Charles A. Gutke, Adolph Madera, H, A. Faulkner, Julius Leh- mann, Edmund Bursch, Otto Schu- macher, John A, Sheridan, Charles J. Denny, William Tamblyn, J. J. Hanni- gan and Emile Hartman. J. K. Murrell made a statement for publication, which is in part as fol- lows: “I have surrendered unconditional- ly to the circuit district attorney and have made a full confession. I could no longer stand the agony I endured as a fugitive from justice, and the wrong done me by the parties just as guilty as I, who made me their cats- paw. “The evidence that I have put the cireuit attorney in possession of will all come out on the trials, and I am willing to go on the stand and tell all I know. [ held the key to the box in the Lincoln Trust Co. containing the $75,000 bribe money to go to tite house of delegates upon the passage of the Suburban bill. “I am not permitted to make the operations of the combine on this particular matter public at this time. The purpose of the combine was to contro] legislation and sell legislation for the benefit of the members of the combine. “Shortly before the Suburban Dill | passed, the combine sold their votes on the lighting bills for $47,500. “This money was handled by Kelly, and was paid to the members of the combine atea meeting at Julius Leh- mann’s house. Each member of the combine received $2,500.” St. Louis, Sept. 10.—When Judge Douglas adjourned court yesterday seven of the 19 members of the al- | leged boodle combine of the house of delegates were still at large, and the | police and deputy sheriffs are using their best efforts to find them. De- velopments in the famous case began early and throughout the day came with startling rapidity. The most important feature of the day's developments was the finding of new indictments against 18 members of the combine. In addition to the charges of bribery and perjury in con- nection with the Suburban street rail- road deal, the members of the alleged combine now rest under additional in- dictments charging bribery. These were found by the grand jury before which J. K. Murrell testified yester- day as to the city lighting scandal of 1900, in which each member of the combine is said to have received $2,500 in payment for his services in secur- ing the passage of the bill. Bonds were fixed at $15,000 for each indictment, making a total of $45,000 necessary to be secured for the re- lease of each of the accused. It is alleged that an oath was ad- ministered to each of the 19 mem- bers of the combine whose identity was disclosed by the confession of J. K. Murrell. A copy of 1t has been given to Circuit Attorney Folk and the grand jury. It is as follows: “I do solemnly swear before Al- mighty God that in becoming a mem- ber of this combine I will vote and act with the combine whenever and wherever I may be so ordered to do. “And I further solemnly swear that I will not, at any place or time, re- veal the fact that there is a combine, and that I will not communicate to any person anything that may take place at any meeting of the combine. “And I do solemnly agree that, in case I should reveal the fact that any person in this combine has received money, I hereby authorize other mem- bers of this combine to take my life in such manner as they may deem proper, and that my throat may be | cut, my tongue torn out and my body cast into the Mississippi river.” St. Louis, Sept. 11—The Fou: Courts, where the municipal boodle ‘investigation is being held, was com- paratively quiet yesterday, the de- velopments being of levs importance than on Monday and Tuesday. Cireuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk’s life has been threatened. This in- formation came yesterday to Chief of Police Kiely and Chief of Detectives Desmond, Since that time Detective McGrath has been guarding the cir- cuit attorney against possible attack. The information that threats had been made to kill hira came to the police department from a source so reliable that Chief Kiely declared it positively imperative to take every precaution to prevent an attack from an assassin. Raised a Novel Objection. New York, Sept. 9.—Justice Foster, in the court of general sessions yes- terday sustained a demurrer inter- pesed to an indictment charging Ridge Levion and Leon Stedecker with running a pool room. Counsel for th: accused men, in demurring to the in- dictment, argued that the law prohib- iting the making of bets in a pool ‘room was unconstitutional because it prohibited men from doing a thing in one place that they were allowed to do in another—that is that betting on horse races was prohibited in pool rooms but allowed on the race tracks. Balloon Got Too Hot. Rome, Sept. 9—During the ma- neuvers near Tivoli yesterday a mili- tary balloon burst and 16 soldiers were badly injured in consequence. Two of the men were fatally hurt.

AGRICULTURE. A Large Crop of Oats is Reportea—No Change in Corn and Wheat—Apples and Peaches Pientiful. Washington, Sept. 11.—The monthly report of the department of agricul- ture shows the average condition of corn on September 1 to have been 84.3, ag compared wth 86.5 on August 1, 1902, and a ten-year average of 78.8. Except in Kansas and South Dakota, which report a decline of 12 points and 10 points respectively during Aug- ust, no material change of condition is reported from any of the principal corn states, and except those of the south and the state of Michigan, they again report condition averages in excess of their respective averages for the last ten years. _ ‘The average condition at harvest of winter and spring wheat combined Was 80, against 82.8 last year, and a ten-year average of 73.9. North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne- braska and Missouri report 20, 24, 25 and 24 points, respectively, above their ten-year averages, while Penn- sylvania and California report 5 points below the ten-year average. The average condition of oats when harvested was 87.2, against 82.1 last year, and a ten-year average of 79.7. While correspondents report the har- vesting of an exceptionally large crop of oats, there are indications that the crop will be very deficient in point of quality. There was a decline in the condi- tion of sweet. potatoes during Aug- "ust, and in all the principal states ex- /cept New Jersey, Virginia and South Carolina, present conditions are be- low the ten-year averages. eat | ‘The acreage of cloverseed’lias been | considerably reduced since last year, ‘only two of the prine’pal states— Maryland and Ohio—reporting even a small increase. | Of the states having 4,000,000 trees /and upwards in apples, 11 report an improvement in condition during Aug- ust. All but six of the important ap- ple growing states report conditions ranging from 7 to 32 points above ‘their ten-year averages; in Ohio the condition agrees with such average; while Indiana, West Virginia, Ten- “nessee and Kentucky report condi- tions below such average. Reports as to the production of peaches as compared with a full crop in the important peach growing states range from 10 per cent. in Illi- -nois to 99 in Oklahoma. In all but ‘eight of the states having 2,000,000 trees and upwards in 1899, a produc- tion exceeding the ten-year average is, probable. In all the states in which the pro- duction of grapes is of more than lo- cal importance, the condition is equal ‘to or above the ten-year average. ‘There is a decrease in the number of hogs now being fattened compared with a year ago in every important hog raising state except Pennsyl- ' vania. REBELS SUCCESSFUL. Government Troops Forced to He- treat at Santa Marta Leaving 100 Dead Behind Them—Horrible Atro- “i Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 11.—The German steamer Valencia, which ar- rived here Wednesday from Sania Marta, capital of the department of Magdalena, Colombia, brings news of a victory at Santa Marta by the Colombian revolutionists over the | government forces. Capt. Gronmeyer, of the Valencia, says that last Friday the revolution- ists made a desperate attack on the outskirts of Santa Marta. The gov- ernment troops were overwhelmed and foreed to retreat, leaving behind them 100 dead. Immediately after the withdrawal of the government forces the rebels started to destroy the railroad tracks. They derailed several trains at various points, de- molishing engines and cars, the latter being chiefly fruit vans. Several lives were also lost in these wrecks. Saturday the revolutionists .occu- pied the banana district of Senega, _where they continued to wreck the ‘railroad, at the same time keeping up | their advance towards Santa Marta. When the Valencia sailed from Santa | Marta Monday the revolutionists were ‘so near town that Capt. Gronmeyer “could see the flashes of their guns. | Several buildings in Santa Marta were then blazing, having been ignited by the few troops left there to oppose the attack of the revolutionists. ‘The | town at that time was expected mo- -“mentarily to surrender. | Owing to the total destruction of the railroad, the Valencia did not get cher cargo of fruit at Santa Marta, Officers of the Valencia say that horrible atrocities were committed | during the fighting by the rebels, who chiefly used machetes. Almost all of ‘the government troops killed were found along the railroad track, their bodies being terribly mutilated. They were partially covered by branches of banana trees. The revolutionists gained posses- sion of Culebra without opposition and their possession of that point has not been disturbed. The government is maintaining an attitude of defense and a desperate engagement is ex- pected shortly. Business on the isth- Rnus fs suspended.
