An Austin (Texas) paper a few days asro mihlisbed the .'ollowinsr item of news: The representatives of the oil syndicates Of which former Governor S. Hogg: and former United States Senator Charles A. Towne are at the head arrived here today to oppose the measure now before the legislature which provides for a tax of 2 per cent on the pross receipts of the oil producers of Texas. The Standard Oil Company has also sent a lobby here to defeat the bilL Are these the men who but a few short monthr ago were raising their voices to high heaven about taxes and trusts and the Standard OilComyany? AVhat is to become of the dear people since Hogg and Towne have gone over to the trusts body and breeches and joined hands with the old original ctctopus itself? DODDERING DICKY'S ARROGANCE. At the old settlers' reunion near Lapaz Saturday Editor J. B. Stoll, in the crisp and lucid style of which he is a master, expressed some valuable truths concerning the importance of religion in everyday life, quite in line with the lay sermon delivered by Vice President Roosevelt in Chicago Sunday. Commenting on Mr. Stoll 's remarks the Independent says: . "These ideas, condemning the dissemination of intidel doctrine, which dissemination the Independent has from time to time vigorously opposed, were met with the hearty approval of the large audience that heard Mr. Stoll, thus demonstrating that the people of Marshall county stand firm with the institutions that have en trenched the home." The hifalutin sentence is involved and ungrammatical, but squinting at it by and large it is obviously meant to convey the impression that the perky little half-sheet is in some way responsible for the existence of a Christian sentiment in this locality. In view of the fact that its only "vigorous opposition" to "the dissemination of infidel doctrines" consists of low flings at its democratic competitor, with a motive and in a spirit far from Christian or even decent, it will be hard to make old residents believe that the Independent is entitled to any credit for the mora! atmosphere of Marshall county. THE FATE OF SHAFFER, The severe denunciation of Mr. Theodore J. Shaffer, president of the Amalgamated association, by the trade union organ, the Labor "World of Pittsburg, and the long array of reasons for his impeachment which it presents, taken in connection with unmistakable signs of dissatisfaction with his declaration and conduct of the strike by prominent union men, clearly foreshadow his impending fate. ; " It is manifest to any one, remarks the Chicago Tribune, and most of all to the strikers themselves, that the strike, though not yet called off, is already a failure, and many of them are acting for themselves and quietly going back to work in their old positions or seeking new ones. They find that organized labor will not support the strike, and that Shaffer has gone into it without money or the prospect of any to contend against a corporation with a surplus of millions, and that the public has no sympathy with the violation of contracts: Shaffer must eventually surrender, but it is of little consequence now when he surl enders. When the break comes it will be the end of Shaffer. He may trf ttfirt into the mills to work or he may take up his old profession of preaching It matters little what he may do. He will drop out of puDl.c sight. This has been the fate of every labor leader who has aspired to be a great strike leader when he had not the right on his side, and the fate of every labor leader who has been a radicalan agitator, a demagogue, or a politician. Mr. James Sovereign, years ago master workman of the Knights of Labor, head of an army of halfa million constituents, now trying to make a living as an insurance solicitor in some southern state, could tell Mr. Shaffer how foolisn. he had been and what he is coming to. Were Martin Irons, whose life ended in misery and poverty,; alive he could tell him also. Eugene V. Debs, ex-president Of the American Railway union, hailed as the Moses of the labor movement, defier of courts, candidate for the presidency of the United States the champion of labor, the idol of the working-men, now wallowing in socialism which would do away with all labor, might furnish Mr. Shaffer many chapters of entertaining experiences. have srone Mr. Shaffer will soon follow. The conservative, sensible, thinking men, like Mitchell and Arthur, remain and the labor interests they administer are prosperous.
ANTIQUITY ÖF MAN
Latot Discoveries of Investigators Sum med Up in Notable Lecture. Professor Matthew Flinders Fetrie in a lecture at iondon last week sums up in few sentences of intensest in terest the latest evidence of the anti quity of the human race. Antiquar ians now have to deal with Egypt alone. There is an unbroken chain of historic record from 5000 B. C, be sides actual objects which carry history back 2.000 years further, thus giving 0,000 years to human history, but this is yet far from the beginning. There were traces which showed that civilization must have come from another country, out where no one has the slightest idea. The earliest graves have figures of a. race of bush men of a tvoe discovered similar to " a. those found in Prance and Malta, proving that the race extended from Africa to Europe, lhen there are a. figures of women of earlier races, which probably were of the paleolithic a.se. Bevond this there was a time when the climate of Egypt was totally different from today; when a rainfall fertilized what is now a desert, and when animals of which all trace has been lost inhabited the country. Other lands might show the age of man to bo more remote by physical evidences, but nowhere could we feel more plainly the certainty of man than where 9,000 years' continuous remains did not yet bring us into the vast periods of those climatic and geo logical changes through which man had kept up the chain of life to the present day. QUICK MAIL DELIVERY Letters Delivered Eicht Miles in the Country Nine Hours From Chicago. The advantage and value of the free rural mail delivery to those who are fortunate enough to live on a country postal route will hardly find a better illustration than is afforded by an experience of . F. M. McCrory, substitute carrier on a route from this city. He noticed one day in his pack a letter postmarked at 1:30 a. m., at the Chi(?tjo postofiice and addressed to a person living eight miles from Plymouth. This letter was delivered at trie home of the party to whom it was directed before 10 o'clock on the same day it was mailed. On the six following weekdays the same thing happened. Seven days in succession, Sunday excepted, letters mailed in Chicago after 1 o'clock in the morning were delivered at their d2Stination eight miles in the country before 10 o'clock of the same morning. These letters were important and without the system of free delivery the recipient would have been compelled to drive 16 miles each day for the seven days, at the expense of neglecting work on the farm, to get them. Furthermore, he was enabled to send his replies in by the carrier, without which advantage he would have lost one day on each one unless he made another trip of 16 miles. Some few farmers still dislike or distrust the rural delivery system but instances such as that here related will rapidly remove such prejudice. Bremen's Third Well. Having drilled unavailing to the depth of 1,250 feet, the last hundred feet being in Trenton rock, the Bre men oil company is pulling up the pipe and will bore again at a point near the fair grounds, about a mile from the present dry hole. Borings of the present well were, sent to the state geologist, who identified the Tren ton rock and advised the abandonment of the well. An "oil smeller" from Ohio, Mr. Bain, located the place for the drill at the hole about to be opened and manifested his confidence by paying $100 cash for an interest in the enterprise. He predicted failure for the well just abandoned. Dry Weather in Kansas. A Kansas exchange says: It is so hot and dry here that the wagons are going around with their tongues out, and ice has to be soaked all night before it is wet enough to make lemonade. The catfish kick up such a dust in the bed of the Gasconade river that the river has to be sprinkled before you can go fishing. A spark from an engine set the railroad pond on fire and burned up a wagon load of bull frogs before the fire could be extinquishod, and the ground is so hard and dy that the crawfish holes in the low places are being pulled up and shipped off for gas pipes. Mrs. Kruyef Entertains. Mrs. P. J. Kruyer pleasantly entertained a small party of young . ladies and gentlemen Saturday evening at the county infirmary. Refreshments were served and -music and games were the amusements.

The young woman came home from South Bend yesterday, but went to the home of a neighbor, saying she wanted to surprise her father. She frequently spoke of her lover, and said she had no desire to live. Woman's Horrible Death. Lafayette, Ind., Sept. 3 Mrs. David Furguson, residing six miles south of here, met a horrible death while on her way to the city yesterday afternoon. Her horse frightened at a bicycle and ran away.

Race War at Indianapolis. - Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 4 The first serious trouble resulting from the race war here occurred last nignt, when Henry Bush, a negro, shot and fatally injured Henry Mills, white, and Wallace Pickett, negro, was shot in the head. For several nights there has been trouble brewing between the whites and blacks near a "merry-go-round, " located at Nineteenth street and Martindale avenue. The negroes did not appear to be aggressive and the whites undertook to drive , the blacks away. Indianapolis Saloon War.' Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 4 The temperance societies of the city have begun a crusade against the liquor law vioiaters and it is expected that within a few days affidavits will be filed against 200 or 300 saloonkeepers who have been keeping their places of business open on Snnday, after hours and on holidays. Instead of employ ing detectives and spies to secure the evidence, the members of the Young People's Christian Temperance union have taken the matter into their own hands and all evidence has been obtained. Saved Six Hundred Dollars. Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 4 Six robbers who beat and shot Benjamin Dotter er, a farmer, six miles northeast of lere, have not been found. Dotterer, who was shot through the chest, cannot recover. Jlis money was saved almost miraculously. After the thugs had clubbed him to the floor Dotterer managed to take a roll of $600 from lis clothing and throw it up a stair way without the men seeing the act. They got but $10 and a watch, after wards returning the latter. The robbers were masked, and there is no clew. Politics . in a Strike. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 2 John F. Geckler, city clerk of Indianapolis, who organized the pressmen and in stigated the strike at the Hammond plant of the Conkey Printing com pany, is charged with mismanagement of his office and today it was stated at the attorney general's office . that Geckler's conduct is to be investigated. The state officials are interested because they say the state school fund suffers by failure to collect fines. An investigation of Geckler's books is said to show that thousands of dollars are due to the state in uncollected fines during Geckler's two years term of office. Most of the delinquents are demo cratic politicians, Geckler being a part of the democratic administration. The attorney general proposes to sue on ueckier's official bona if it is shown he has not made the attempt required by law to collect delinquent fines. - Indiana Coal Trust Teure Haute, Ind., Sept. 4 The Indiana coal trust will not be organized before Jan. 1.

Three of the fellows were masked, their faces being concealed, but the fourth made no effort to conceal his identity. Chapter of Mishaps.

CARRIE NATION'S HATCHET
DANCES FAIL TO DRAW AT CONEY ISLAND. New York, Sept. 3 Mrs. Car rie Nation, in whose antics while she was on the rampage on her native Kansas heath there was for a time some little public interest, has now become an adjunct to a Coney Island dance and all-around amusement hall. Apparently it is a part of her contract to do preliminary hatchet war dances and to make herself generally noisy and offensive enough in public places to attract attention, get written about in the newspapers, and so turn in a liberal amount of free advertising to show with which she has an engagement. If this is the case, the Coney Island dance hall managers as suredly can find no fault with the amount of public disturbance she kicked up yesterday. With a press agent at her heels, she started early in the forenoon of Labor day and did a good freak advertising business up to the time of her arrival in the afternoon at the Coney Island show where she was billed to appear. By previous arrangament one of the Manhattan drinking places permitted her to smash a bottle or two of water on the premises, but, with this exception, all her other liquor-store demonstrations were entirely harmless, save that she made herself more or less a nuisance to people who had got weary of reading her rant, much less hearing it. She went down to Coney Island on the iron steamboat Pegasus, and while she was on board kept up a general rumpus of one sort and another. She made abortive dashes at waiters who were carrying beer to people, pretended to make a rush for the bar on the lower deck, and finally wound up by climbing on a chair and making a pest of herself to everybody within sound of her voice by turning loose one of her tedious tirades. It was all good business in an advertising way for the show with which she is connected, and the holiday crowd was for the most part good natured under it. Furthermore, Carrie was wary about doing things that might entail arrest, always stopping short of any act that could be in terpreted as distinctively a breach of the peace. A glowing banner in front of the show announced that she was to be there, and she was, in fact, billed to deliver three 'lectures" at 4 o'clock, 7 o'clock, and 9:30 o'clock in the evening. It cost 50 cents to hear Carrie talk, and as comparatively few had escaped hearing her already, there seemed to be a general dis position to regard the short time that her .language was confined to a hired hall as a sort of public boon which few were inclined to lose. She was ready to begin the 4 o'clock lecture promptly on time, and, although leather-lunged barkers made records in the barking line, there were just two people in the hall at 4:30, and they were deadheads. She didn't do much at the later lectures. One of Brnjham Young's Widows. Salt Lake City, Utah Aug.29 Mrs. Zina D. H. Young died yesterday, age eighty years. She was born in Watertown, N. Y.j in 1821 and was one of the pioneers in the Mormon movement. She was married to Joseph Smith at Nanvoo, 111., and after his death she became the wife of President Brigham Young. There are now but four surviving windows of the famous Mormon leader. There la more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, anduntil the last few years doctors pronounced it a local disease, arid prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
