have been taken out to aoa or buried

IIouhton, Tex., Sept. 12. The
ghouls have been holding an orgie
over the dead at On Ives ton. Tho
majority of theae men were negroes,
but whiles louk purt in the desecra
tion of tho dond. Some of them
were natives and some had boon ul
lowed to go over from the mainland
under the guise of "relief" workers.
Not only did they rob the dead but
they mutilatod bodies In order to
aooure their ghoulish booty.
A party of 10 negrooa were re
turning from a looting expedition.
They had atripped corpses of all
valuables and the pockets of some
of tho lootora were fairly bulging
out with fingors of the dead whloh
had been cu off because they were
so swollen the rlnga could not be
removed. Inoenaed at thla desecra
tion and mutilation of the dead,
the looters were shot down and it
has boen determined that all found
In the act of robbing the dead shall
be summarily shot.
During the robbing of the dead
not only were Angers cut off, but
ears were stripped flora the bead in
order to secure jewels of value. A
few Government troopa who sur
vived and private citiiens have
been patrolling the oity and have
endeavored to prevent the robbing
of the dead, and on several occa
sions have killed offenders. It is
said that at one lime eight were
killed, and at another time four.
Altogether, the total of those exe
cuted xceeds 60.

fledford's Poultry and Fruit Exhibit.
W. W. Browning, of Ogden, Utah,
has submitted a proposition to tbe
Southern Oregon Poultry Association,
lo which be desires to Judge the poul
try at tbe November show In Medford.
The members, however, have not as yet
selected a Judge. It Is to be hoped
ono may be secured who Is capable of
Judging Belgian hares as well as poul
try. Tbe committees are now at work
on their various duties, and it is gratify
ing to know that all who have been
interviewed are heartily in favor of the
show and will lend a helping hand to
make it a success.
Tnere Is evidence even at this early
date that there will be great competi
tion in Brown Leghorns and Barred
Plymouth Rocks. A member of the
association snows of from fifteen to
twenty entries of these breeds already
There have also been a number of let
ters received from persons In the Wil
lamette valley and California, who want
to enter their poultry.
The association hopes that tbe people
of this valley will not allow parties on
the outside to come in and carry away
toe prizes. Brush up your best speci
mens, feed them in a manner so that
they, will be through moulting, get
them in good trim and let us hold tbe
prize money bere at home. If every
body interested will join hands In mak
ing this poultry and fruit ahow a suc
cess, It will prove a brilliant affair for
Medford and Southern Oregon.
During the week of the show there
will be a meeting of the members of the
association, at which time new offloers
will be elected, and a placo selected
for holding the next show, which will
probably be at Ashland or Jackson vllle.
Let everyone remember that the
show will open on Monday, November
19tb, and continue until the following
Saturday night.

A great many people entirely Iso

overdoing one'a self to please others,
but rather in the simple act of being
agreeable to the beat of our ability.
True, It Is well to render one'a self in

an evident labor to do so, it is bet

CANNON BALLS FOR SALE.

la Mew York.
Workmen engaged In demolishing
the 48-year-old flve-atory building at
the southwest corner of Wall and Wil
liam streets have found a number of
eight-pound iron balls let into tho
joints of the grauite slab-forming tho
outer wall of the street vault in what
was the basement of the building:.
About 200 of the balls have been found,
reports the New .York Sun. One of
the'vbrkmen was sure be had discov
ered some "revolutionary relics," and
succeeded in disposing of a number
0 the
"cannon -balls" at. "50 centa
apiece. So many of tbe metal sphere
were discovered that the price soon
fell to a tin of beer. The discovery and
sale continued Tuesday and yesterday
and as there are a few slabs still in the
place there will probably be more "rel
ics" for sale to-day.
The demolished building was occu
pied by the Atlantic Mutual Insurance)
company and by the Phenix bank. The
vault measure perhaps 15 by 20 feet.
Tbe granite slabs which form its outer
wall are 18 inches thick. The top of
each one was hollowed out to receive
half the iron ball and the1 bottom of
the next higher waa hollowed ont to
receive the other half. Possibly the
metal balls were put in to bother any
burglar who might seek to dig through
the wall. .
