Ills own fate lx somewhat uncertain, some reports stilling that he will be tried by court nmrtiul, which Is most likely. The hullabaloo, however, has had some good results. It has led President Krueger to declare by public proclama tion that If the foreigner have any grievance they have only to formulate them and they will receive legislative i-onstdtTutlou. It has compelled both the Kngllsh liovernment and the Colo nial liovernnieiit t disavow the whole business. It has waked lierinauy up and aroused Krance. They seem to have discovered that there Is a Monroe doctrine which npplle to South Africa and forbid llrltlsh aggressions iimn the little Transvaal republic. It has also glrcu the world little rest ou the Vrueiiiclun affair, and will In the end make our Hrttlsh brethren much more favorably disposed toward arbitra tion.

In 1ST 7 Alex Campbell, one of tlio convicted Mollie Maguircs, was con- tlned in this cell. He stontlv protested hi innocence, but was convicted through the confession of several of hi comrades iu crime. On tho night before ho expiated his crimes upon the gallows ho stiHsl upon his narrow cot, and, plac ing his left hand upon tho wall, ix 1 leged to have said that if he was inno cent the impression of his baud would mum upon the wall forever. No one paid any attention to the re mark at the time, but it bin Wen brought before the public in a vivid manner many times since that memora ble night. Although It) years have pass ed, the imprint still remains upon tho wall just us clearly ox though it was placed there yesterday, although many attempts have been made to obliterate the marks. The walls have boon whitewashed many times, but the lime is hardly djy until the baud impression can be plainly seen, ulthough ull other defects upon the wull may bo covered by the application of lime. The strange phe nomenon has been viewed by throngs of curious people, hut no reasonable the ory has btnn ndvuticcd by any one. The cell is looked upon with awe by the balance of the prisoner in the jail", and if any of them Uvonie unruly the warden threatens to hvk them up in cell No. 7, which iiistautly cows them into submission. Although the dungeon ia a very dreary cell, it is far preferable to lawbreakers than the mysterious cell No, 7. l'hiludelphia Press. BIG LUMBER TRUST.

He put in every dollar he could get, and there came a time whoa ho had to sell. Ho went to Vanderbilt. whose road tho Nickel Pluto paralleled. Vnnderbilt would not buy the Nickel Plate. He said he could alTord to wait the first inortgaga foreclosure nnd buy It from the sheriff. "If ynu don't buy it, Jay Would will," said lirice, "Oh, no, he won't." said Vanderbilt. Brice then went to Oould. Ho knew that lie did not vimt the Nickel Plate, but lie had a beautiful scheme to propose. Ho knew Vanderbilt would buy the road be fore ho would allow Oould to get iu. Price thereupon told Oould thut if lie would sit silent uud not contradict, neither afllrm nor deny, any newspaper article to tho effect that he was going to buy tho Nickel Plate, nnd after till clnmliko silence hud continued for a week, if In would theti ride slow ly over the Nickel Pluto in un observation cur, Vanderbilt would buy the road, nud ho would give Oould fjOO.OOO. It struck Oould that the whole thing would bo a majestic jokeou Vanderbilt. The papers said that Oould was going: to buy the Nickel Pluto. Oould, when questioned, looked wise. At the end of a week be meandered, snaillike, over the Nickel Plate iu the rear eud of au observation car and had all the air of a Hum who was looking; ut a piece of prop erty. Stories were wired about Oould'a trip from every water tank and way sta tion along the line, and, before Oould had reached Chicago, Vauderhilt, in a tit of hysterics, w ired Price that he would take the Nickel Plate, He did so, and Price was saved.

Thereupon Alkuli Ike, who hud been doleguted to preserve tho peuce, very uppropriutoly remarked thut, iuusmuch U Peter wu a wolf, the time wu ut hum! for him to howl, ut the same time ahooting him in tho hind leg with u deftness born of long practice. A little luler the wolf hud been oust into outer darkness und the debate went on.

The debute wu resumed ut the close of the widow' remarks und was pro gressing smoothly towurd u harmonious consummation when Dr. Potter, tho w ell known undertaker, urose uud be gun: "I don't know and I don't cure whether Hamlet wu mud or not, but I rise to remark thut I uui mud, und the mure I think ubout the cause I liuve the madder I git I Hawvillo possesses u Commercial club, which i supposed to bo working for the upbuilding of the various business enterprises in tho set tlement und to bo keeping a vigilant uud well skinned ryo ou the iuterest of it members, ono of whom now stands before you.

Ho believed ill reciprocity, uud huving fostered other desired to be fostered in turn. "Live und let live" hud always becu hi business motto, uud ho hud faithfully endeavored to ubido by it, uud darned little good it hud done him, according to hi own statement. Ho desired to kuow why tho Coniiuerclul club had done nothing to udvanco hi business interests, why members of the community whoclaimed hi patronage were so loath uud sloth ful ubout patronizing him. I There wax entirely too much jug han dle business, with the handle continu- ' ally in the other fellow' grasp, iu the way things hud becu going on during tho past several months, uud it for him he wu sick nud tired of tho way in which the curd were running uud earnestly desired u new deal. "Only three fuueralx iu tho last 20 ' duy I" ho declured bitterly, "and out 1 of them a lizzie, iu which the customer ; proved to bo in u cutuleptio state, uud 1 revived uud ran uway after I hud gone I to right smart of expense ou hi special account, uud tho others two meusly paupers thut hadn't u dollar iu their I clothe nor u friend on earth I" The speaker continued by culling ut tentiou to the foct that there hud uot I been u lynching iu the last six weeks, ' nor n fight worth speaking of iu two months.

Ho concluded by requesting light on the subject for tho present, and u new deal uml a fair shako for the future, ufter which ho paused for a reply. i "Waul," remarked Alkuli Ike, rather sarcastically, ufter Dr. Potter had sub sided, "I urn yere to say, and I reckon I . vice tho seutymunts of every gentleman within tho sound of my voice wheu I say it, thut if this yere euterprisiu mau planter expect his feller citizen to stop, ufter pullin their guns, uu consid er whether or uot the gout they aim to git is rich enough to pay for the pomp un pin ry fernoolyer of u dude's obsequies, ho is doomed to disappointment u great plenty) I uiu williu to foster him uu his industry to a reasonable extent, but ! if ho oxiHH'tx mo to request my prey to plcitso wuit for mo around the corner while I go up un uoso through tho tax bisikx to see whur ho is at the doctor i uskiu u heap too much.

Thus they rode by night, hiding In the thickets or the grass by the day, until they renched Missouri. The price put upon the bends of the James "boys" by the Stnte nnd by ex press ooiupiuiles, nnd the tactics of the Plnkertonx to capture them, are still fresh history on the "border." The t Iovernor of Missouri, T. T. Crittenden, law partner of Senator Cockrell. nnd now consul general to Mexico, offered a reward for the James boys, dead or alive, nnd the railroads offered $1".ihk. There had traveled with the James boys two men known ns the Ford brothers. Their haiidx were n red n those of the Jameses, but there wnx n fend between them nbotit the division Of booty. The Fords weut to live with Jesse .liiine. who, under nn assumed mime, had rented n cottage Iu St. Joseph. Mo. Why Jesse Juine ever entrusted himself thus tn the Fords has been a mystery to lilx friends. For years Jesse James had never fnlled to wear his pistol where it was handy. One day, however, he laid lt aside Iu his cottage nnd stood upon n chair to brush the dust from n picture on the wnll. This trivial nud womanly net Iu the life of a mun who had helped to spread desolation, and who had shot, plundered and killed, cost him his life. The Fords had been watching for their I'hiince. The big reward quickened their courage. One of them shot nnd killed the bandit. The Fords went to the telegraph olllce nnd sent a messnge to (iovernor Crit tenden claiming the reward for killinie Jesse James. The news of the assassi nation of n President could not have cnused more excitement Iu Missouri, although the feeling was of a dlffereut character. The Fords were arresti-d and releas ed. They got their reward. One of them was killed Iu a dancehonse In Colorado later, nnd the other died of consumption. The chase was over.
