Montana agent of the Northwestern Mu
tual Life Insurance Company, a prominent
politician, formerly president of the Mon
tana State Baseball League, and well
known throughout the Northwest.
JOLTET, 111.. March 12. Ex-Governor
John P. Altgeld died at the Hotel Munroe
this morning at 7:09 o'clock.
The physicians remained with him
throughout the night. When the end was
nearlng they worked his arms vigorously
to revive respiration, but all to no pur
pose, fhe cause of death is given as ce
rebral hemorrhages, there having been no
apoplectic seizure of the brain. The vom
iting at first was taken to indicate pto
maine poisoning, but it was determined
this was due to different manifestations
of the brain trouble.
Qlr. Altgeld came to Jollet yesterday
afternoon, having been advertised as the
special orator for the big Will County
pro-Boer meeting. He confessed that he
was not In the best of health, having
been troubled with some apparently sim
ple stomach ailment. He was not willing
to allow that to Interfere with his speech,
however, his great Interest in the South
African struggle having been heightened
-by the announcement of the Boer success
In the capture of General Methuen. It
was noticed during the address that the
ex-Governor threw an unusual amount of
energy and feeling into his words, and
the collapse, the physicians think, re
sulted from overstraining his already
weakened physical powers.
Ever since the failure of the Globe Sav
ings Bank In 1896, in which he was In
volved, Mr. Altgeld had not been a well
man, and for some months after the
Spalding crash It was feared that "his
death was only a question of a short time.
Even when serving his last year as Gov
ernor his health was none too good.
Clarence Darrow, a lifelong friend and
later a law partner of the ex-Governor,
reached here this morning. He said the
Governor died as he had lived, pleading
the cause of the lowly. Mr. Altgeld, in
the speech which was fated to be his last,
declared that all friends of humanity
owed a debt of gratitude to Governor
Yates for issuing a proclamation solicit
ing assistance for the Boer women and
children in the concentration camps which
the British are maintaining in South Af
rica. It was a speech typical of the old
Governor who had risen from the towpath
to the chief of state. Death was at hand,
but his voice had all the old Are and all
the old sympathy which had won him the
hearts of many people.
Mr. Darrow upon his arrival, took
charge of the body, and opened scores of
telegrams from all parts of the country.
Some sent before death had come asking
for early information of the patient's con
dition, while those that came late ex
pressed the deepest regret at the ex-Governor's
demise.
No postmortem will be held on the body.
The famllf does not wish It, being con
tent with the statement of the physicians
that he died from cerebral hemorrhage.
The remains were taken from Joliet this
afternoon, on a special train over the Al
ton. iPAvincr at 4:56 o'clock for Chicago. A
delegation of Jollet citizens accompanied i
the remains. The funeral cortege tnrougn
the streets was headed by the police de
partment. Several scores of Jollet citi
zens, representing all parties and profes
sions, walked behind the hearse.

WASHINGTON, March 12. Contrary to

Judge Altareld'; Career.
John P. Altgeld was born In Prussia in
1B4S, and came to this country with his
parents when a boy. tho father settling on
a farm near Mansfleld, O. At this early
date he began to show those studious
traits and mental powers that raised him
to eminence. He worked hard and studied
his books when he could steal a few min
utes. He attended the schools when work
on the farm was not pressing, and at the
age of 1G enlisted in Company C, One
Hundred and Sixty-fourth Ohio Infantry,
and Tsent to the front, participating in the
campaign of Grant that closed the war.
Returning home, he spent the next few
years alternately teaching school, study
ing and working as a farmhand. Then he
went west to St. Louis, where he read
law In a desultory way, and afterward in
the ofllce of Haven & Rea, Savannah, Mo.
His industry and faculty for diving to the
heart of his subject brought clients, fame
,and prosperity. In 1874 he was elected
Prosecuting Attorney of Andrew County,
"but in October, 1873, he resigned his office,
sold bis furniture, and moved to Chicago.
He took little interest in politics for sev
eral years, but In 18S4 ran for Congress in
an overwhelming Republican district. He
was defeated, but cut down the Republi
can majority. In 1SSS, without solicitation
on his part, he was nominated for Superior
Judge of Cook County, at that time about
12,000 Republican. He hesitated some time
before accepting, but Anally did so, and so
thorough a canvass did he make, and so
perfect was his organization, that, not
withstanding defections from the Demo
cratic party and quarrels within the ranks,
he was elected by a large majority, the
laboring men being especially active in his
interest. A multiplicity of private Inter
ests compelled him to resign his place on
the bench in August, 19L He had be
come quite wealthy, principally by shrewd
buying and selling of real estate in Chi
cago. He was also Interested in street
railways in various cities.
He served as Governor of Illlnos from
1893 to 1897, and his pardon of the anarch
ists, Fielden, Schwab and Neebe. excited
wide comment. He was a prominent ad
vocate of free silver, and .though a Demo-
Seven Persons Meet Death In a Storm
in Mississippi.
VICKSBURG. Miss., March 12. A tor
nado swept through the southern section
of Copiah and tho northern section of
Lincoln Counties this morning, killed at
least seven persons and leveled buildings,
trees and fences.
Montgomery, a village in Copiah County,
on the Illinois Central Railroad, was the
worst sufferer, and four bodies are known
to be under the debris of collapsed build
ings there.
Three miles further south a railroad
camp was wrecked and three negroes were
killed. A passenger train on the Illinois
Central was struck by the storm, and
every window in every coach was blown
in.

There was no loss of life, and the prop

Did Not RetHrn a Salute.
NEW YORK, March 12. Much comment
is taking place here over an incident in
the recent maneuvers off Mar del Plata,
says a Buenos Ayres dispatch to the Her
ald. The United States cruiser Atlanta
saluted President Roca, of Argentina but
the Argentine vessel did not return the
salute because, according to International
etiquette, the chief executive of the
states does not reply directly by salvos
but sends an officer to express his thanks
to the commander of the foreign vessel.
No officer could approach the United
States cruiser, which was continually
moving around. The Argentine officials
waited a short time to fulfill the duty of
returning the courtesy, but tho Atlanta
without stopping sailed northward. It is
believed that the commander of the At
lanta was vexed because the Argentine
vessels did not return the salute.
Western Baseball League.
DENVER, March 12. Owing to delay in
the arrival of some of the members, the
meeting of the Western Baseball League
was not begun until 4 o'clock this after
noon. After a two hours' session a recess
was! taken until 8 o'clock. The schedule
was referred to a committee, and will
probably be completed about April 1. The
matter of appointing umpires was left for
the President, who announced that all
umpires would be selected from cities out
side the Western .League, so as to obviate
any charge of favoritism. It was stated
that the season will begin about April 23.

ly the following account of their wander
ings:
'On January 1, being then on half ra
tions, with very little food left, Miajor
Waller decided to split the party he tak
ing 15 of the strongest men and pushing
on for Basey, and Captain Porter follow
ing his trail as rapidly as possible with
the main body. On the 2d a native came
back from Waller with a note, stating that
he (Waller) had given up the idea of get
ting through, and would return, and di
recting Porter to make directly for the
river and build rafts for the entire party.
This Porter tied to do, but failed to find
wood that would float. It was raining
hard at this time, and the river was about
10 feet above Its normal level, and run
ning with violence. -As Major Waller did
not appear. Porter sent Captain Bears to
him to ascertain his plans, then return
and report. Bears failed to return, but
ho reached Waller and went on with him.
" 'On the 3d, I think. Porter pushed
ahead to get assistance, with eight of the
strongest men, leaving Williams to follow
with the crippled and lame as far as the
boat, secreted on the way up, to be used
in an emergency like the present. Porter
reached the boat, but found she had been
damaged and was unfit for use. So he
started on a 25-mile "hike" for Lanangan,
reaching there with three men on the
afternoon of the Hth. Five men had
given out, but living on two dogB that
strayed their way, they finally reached
this place.
" 'The expedition under Lieutenant Will
iams, of the First Infantry, on account of
the river, was unable to get away until
the morning of the 14th. Williams de
serves the highest praise for his 23-mile
fight against the current and up the rap
ids, hauling his boats along by hand a
good part of the way.
" 'It was not until the morning of tho
17th that he reached the starving marines
in their last stopping place near the river.
Their condition at the time was terrible.
For days no man among them had
strength to carry a rifle. Nine of them had
cither gone crazy or had fallen by tho
J trail, half dead from starvation and ex
posure. It had rained steaauy ior i aays.
Lieutenant A. S. Williams had made every
effort to get them along, but had to aban
don them. He could only save the men
who were able to reach tho boat by the
river, the probable point of arrival of the
relief expedition. He got there on the
night of the ICth Inst., his party having
been without food, except roots, the pulp"
ol plants and a very few sweet potatoes,
for 15 aays.
" 'To further complicate matters the
native bearers, about 30 In number, be.
came sulky, practically refusing assist
ance to the white men. They would build
shacks as a protection from the continual
downpour for themselves only, and, know
ing the edible roots and plants, were more
skillful in obtaining food. A time came
when no white man could carry a rifle,
and those left were In the hands of the
natives. Under the altered condition it
required considerable diplomacy on the
part of Lieutenant Williams to handle
them at all.
" 'Just before reaching the river two
bearers tried to kill Williams, stabbing
him about the chest with a bolo. He
tried to shoot, but had not sufficient
strength to pull the trigger. Then they
tried to kill him with his own pistol, but
did not know how to work the weapon.
Williams was rescued by a few of his
men who tottered up armed with sticks
and the natives took to the bush. fo

being no food. The relief party saw some

The following paper on "Intensive Cul
ture" was read by Wallace Yates at the
Farmers' Institute held at Ballston last
Saturday:
"Artemus Ward once delivered a lecture
on 'Souls,' which, except the title, did
not contain a word about souls. It Is
possible I may not adhre much closer to
my text than Artemus did to his. A man
might be intensive, and he might be cul
tured, but who could hone to Jolt the Ore
gon farmer out of the rut In which he hasN
elected to travel? So, In a paper read be
fore a farmers' Institute, one set of re
marks Is probably as good as another.
When you travel along an Oregon high
way and look over the fence, you will be
Impressed with the fertility of the soil,
when you see the ease with which three
or four widely different crops can be
raised together In the same field. But, on
second thought, when you see French
pink In the lead, wild oats a good second,
and wheat a bad third. It will strike you
that Mother Nature has decidedly the ad
vantage over her child. Man, and you may
conclude with Owen Meredlthj that 'his
own mother, fierce Nature herself. Is his
foe.' Nature Is a good servant, but a bad
master.
"A man who owns a quarter section is
the possessor of a pyramid of earth of
which the base Is half a mile square ana
the perpendicular 4000 miles, reaching to
the center of the earth. Now, we are told
that in these days everybody grabs all he
can wants the earth. But to my mind it
is a standing proof how moderate the Or
egon "farmer is In his demands, when hp
only uses six Inches of his patrimony and
leaves the rest of the 4000 miles to God!
Well, you ttIII say that, after all, Oregon
farming Is on a solid foundation, and so It
Is. The foundation Is six Inches below the
surface, and It Is the solid floor over
which that barbarian Implement, the old
mold-board plow, has scraped for 40 or CO
years. This floor Is never broken through,
except that sometimes in midwinter an
old cow finds a soft place and plugs her
hoof through, say a foot deep. Apart
from this, that good old foundation keeps
getting smoother and firmer year by year,
and the farmer faithfully and ploddingly
turns the six Inches over one year and
turns it back the next, and year by year
each cubic inch multiplies its stock of
pink seeds by geometrical progression.
While, as for wheat roots pushing through
that smooth, hard floor, to find out what
kind of nutriment Is below, -you might as
well expect them to push through a pane
of glass. Now, while the Oregon farmer
may not want the earth, he wants all
there Is In that six-inch farm of his, with
out giving anything in return. He re
minds me of the theologians' idea of eter
nity. They seem to believe that eternity
is a something that has a beginning at
death but has no ending a one-sided af
fair. Just so the Polk County farmer be
gan to take crops out of the soil 40 years
ago, without putting anything back, and
ho expects to keep this business up, world
without end. amen. Ho is so afraid of
giving where he takes that he has even
quit using headers to cut his grain, which
did Jeave the largest part of the straw to
be turned under; and for fear poor old
Mother Earth shall get any help from
him, he drags the straw Into a pile and
burns it His motto is: Trust In God and
a Summer fallow.' And so he lives the
strenuous life, and Is very Intensive In
this system of culture.
"We are told that even the fostering
care of the DIngley bill cannot keep the
yield of wheat up to the old standard.
This is sad, after all the money we spend
on a lot of worthless Congressmen, and
especially so since the farmer Is said to
pay tho largest share of the taxes. But
he Is a contented mortal. t Out of his
wheat crop he cheerfully pays the freight
on the sand that ships bring as ballast
from England to furnish cheap filling for
Portland's gulches; and he goes on voting
the old ticket, to 'protect American labor'
In the cities, at his own expense. And
when the Assessor comes around the
farmer has nothing he can hide. All his
stock. Imolements and Improvements are
In plain sight, except what little tile drain
ing he has done. So, for fear he might
beat those county and state officials out
of a few dollars, he does very little drain
ing. The more he Improves on top ot
ground the more they tax him for It; and
he takes It all as meekly as an Easter
lamb. In New Zealand they don't tax
Improvements at all. but what of that?
Are we not the smartest Nation on earth?
"I used to give people advice on these
matters, but I don't any more. Because
nobody takes advice in Oregon. Advice
is all give and no take, just the reverse
of Oregon farming. And the Polk County
farmer believes In extensive culture. Ho
has a supreme contempt for the fell?v
who makes a living off a few acres and
pays hardly any taxes. Ho believes In
spreading out as wide as he can, horizon
tally, scratching over hundreds of acres.
And. as I have said, the height and
depth of his ambition is limited, vertically,
to six Inches of soli. I may have discov
ered that the same amount of labor ap
plied to half the land will double the re
turns and cut the tax bill In two. but I
will not mention the fact. Experience
may have shown me that a green crop
plowed under is the cheapest of manure,
and that a green crop plowed under will
pulverize our Willamette Valley clods In
one season, but I think I will copyright
this. I may have found out that tile
draining will enable one to work the land
two or throe weeks earlier In the Spring,
and may mean the difference between a
crop and no crop, but whose business Is
it but mine? We Valley clodhoppers are
set In our ways, and, as the Widow Be
dott says, 'we are all poor critters." This
is where we show our lntenslveness and
our culture speaks for Itself."

The New Ireland pigeons, though not
so large as the Samoan or Eastern Poly
nesian birds, formed a very agreeable
change of diet for us white traders; and
by walking about 50 yards from one's door
half a dozen or more could be shot In a3
many minutes. My nearest neighbor was J
a German; and one day, when we were
walking along the beach toward his sta
tion, I noticed some hundreds of pigeons
fly down from the forest, settle on the
margin of the water, and drink with ap
parent enjoyment. The harbor at this
spot being almost land-locked, and the
water as smooth as glass and without the
faintest ripple, the birds were enabled to
drink without wetting their plumage. My
nelghbor, who had lived many years In
New Britain, told me that this drinking of
sea water was common to both cockatoos
and pigeons alike, and that on some oc
casions the beaches would be lined with
them; the cockatoos not only drinking
but bathing, and apparently enjoying
themselves greatly. During the next six
months, especially when the weather was
calm and rainy. I frequently noticed pig
eons and cockatoos come to the salt water
to drink. At first I thought that, as fresh
water in many places bubbled up through
the sand at low tide, the birds were not
really drinking the sea water; but by
watching closely I distinctly saw them
walk across these tiny runnels without
making any attempt to drink. Then, too,
the whole of the Gazelle Peninsula is cut
up by countless streams of water, and
rain falls throughout the year, as a rule.
What causes this unusual habit of drink
ing sea water? Another peculiarity of the
New Britain and .New ireiana pigeon is
its fondness for the chilli-pepper berry.
During three months of the year, when
these berries are ripe, the birds' crops
are full of them; and. very often their
flesh Is so pungent and smells so strongly
of the chilli as to be quite uneatable.
Victimised Butte Banks.
BUTTE, Mont.. March 12. What Is be
lieved by the authorities to be a well-laid
scheme to victimize the banks of Butte
was nipped in the bud today by the ar
rest of Ben B. BUzard. BUzard was ar
rested while attempting to cash a draft
for $125 on the State Savings Bink. A few
days ago BUzard cashed a draft for a like
amount with the Indorsement of H. D.
Smith, of Boston. Mass. Later tho draft
was protested and the bank was notified
that It had been victimized. Since that
time the officers have been on the look
out for the man. At the police station
two more drafts for similar sums, all
drawn upon H. D. Smith, of Boston, were
found. BUzard claims to be a broker
with offices in Boston, selling ore stock
and stock in a liquid air company.

A Preacher's Praise of Barkeepers.
New York Herald.
"The first thing the man behind the bar
teaches the church is democracy," said
tho Rev. Mr. McNutt, addressing the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union in
Boston.
He told of seeing subway laborers In
that city being driven off the steps of
a fashionable Church on which they sat
to eat their midday meal, while, on the
other hand, he had seen barkeepers treat
them politely, and a -sign In front of a
saloon Invited all to enter and get "a
free hot lunch."
The "vieux marcheur" will smile at this
somewhat artless laudation of the "bar
keep," but there's no denying the face
that many fastidious church folk forget
St. Paul's admonition that highest edu
cation, unstinted almsgiving and faltn
sufficient to move mountains, profit noth
ing without that benevolent kindliness of
disposition which is ambiguously trans
lated Into our language as "charity."
