says: A thirteen year old girl has

world, and the man that married her
taken to the top of a mountain, tied to
a stake and left to perish. The mar-

A. BIT OF OLD GEOBGLL
The
Quaint Town of Loulsvilllo
and Its History.
Omce at Prominent Slave Market
VThtT Thousands of Negrroea
Have Been Sold Some His
toric Events.
There stands in the center of the
principal street of the quaint old town
of Louisville, Ga., a queer structure. It
was built so long ago that those who
have grown old and gray in this former
capital of the slate cannot tell of its
early history. Somewhere in the early
days before the "Yazoo speculation"
this old "slave market" was erected.
and, although built of wood, it has
stood the storms of time, and the hewn
post oak beams and pillars are as
sound now as 'on that day when the
wrought-iron nails were first driven
into them, and the bell, which now
hangs cracked and toneless as a curi
osity, pealed forth its brazen tones.

A very few people know that Louis
ville was ever the capital of Georgia,
The star of empire taking its way west
ward came first to Savannah, then Au
gusta, and on the 16th day of May, 1795,
the seat of government was changed
from Augusta to this little island vil
lage, and here remained until 180
after which Milledgeville was selected.
and, at a cost of $115,000, a capitol was
erected.
It was at Louisville that tlhe papers
and documents connected with that
giant swindle, the "Yazoo frauds," were
burned by Gen. James Jackson.
The 6tory of the Yazoo frauds is a
long and intricate history. It is stated
that more than 100 duels were fought
about it. The pith of the story is about
as follows:
During the first years subsequent to
the revolution a few wealthy and un
scrupulous men under oath of secrecy
formed what was known ae the Com
bined society,
Their scheme was to bribe the Georgia
legislature and to buy from the state
35,000,000 acres of land in western
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and
the price for all tlhis territory was only
to be $500,000.

swindler was one Thomas Washington,
alias Walsh, a man of wonderful parts,
History tells of (how the giant specu
lator failed principally through the
courageous efforts of Gen. James Jack
son. The conspirators actually car
ried their bill through both houses of
the legislature and the governor's sig
nature was attached,
On January 23, 1796, the general as
sembly met and rescinded the action of
the former body.' Gen. Jackson, for
merly United States senator, resigned
ms seat in tne senate, came home and
was elected a member of this legisla
ture from Cbatiham county. He en
gineered the rescinded bill through
On the day following, by the order of
both houses, a fire was kindled in the
square and all the records and docu
ments were publicly burned,
The clerk of the house was required
to cry in a loud voice: ' "God save the
state and long preserve her rights, and
may every attempt to injure her per
ish as these wicked and corrupt acts
now do.
" This occurred in tfhe year of our Lord
1799. Ninety-eight years ago. Yet
there can be seen in the courthouse
yard, under the spreading 'tades, the
shallow excavation in the ground into
which the papers were piled.
The old governor's mansion was only
torn away last year, the capitol disap
peared many j-ears ago, and the old
slave market which inspires this sketch
will soon, too, give way before ube
march of nineteenth century push. A
water tower will probably take the
place of this hoary sentinel of time.
An old gentleman whom I met on the
streets of Louisville, and whose gray
hair and tottering form I could not help
comparing to the ancient landmark,
said
"I know I've seen a thousand niggers

side you win notice bears the French

PIN HOLES IN THE CHECKS.
Oaly Ome of the Cashier's Preeantlona
Overlooked by the Porater.
In the course of a lecture devlivered
recently on chemical tests used in dis
covering by the ink the age of docu
ments, and whether there have been in
terpolations, Prof. C. A. Doremus told
of a curious discovery in the case of a
raised check, made by his father, who
is an expert in chemistry and in docu
ments. The interests involved in this
case, says the New York Sun, were
very large, and it was not practicable
that the original check should be tam
pered with or chemically treated. For
purposes of testimony an enlarged pho
tograph of the check was taken by Dr.
Doremus, who was called as an expert
In the case. : The first trial resulted in
no decision, and on the second trial,
what purported to be the original check
was produced. It was handed to the
cashier of the bank for identification.
He examined it and said:
"This is not the original check." .
"How do you know that?" demanded
the amazed lawyer. '
"Because in the heading of the orig
inal check I pricked a hole in the center
of each of the 'o's' with a pin," was the
reply. "This check has not those
holes."
In all other respects , the check '
seemed to be Identical. The court
called for Dr. Doremus' photograph to
be produced. It plainly showed the pin
holes. Upon this the lawyer for the de
fense threw np his case, and the guilty
substitutor of the false check fled tht
country.

LOCKED IN A BOX CAB.
Three Little Boys Have a Forced Ride
From Portland.
When the regular freight arrived
hf re from the wet at an early hour
Tuesdiy, the yard man dincovereu
there was some live freight in one of
the cars. He heard cries of "help"
coming from a box car, and going to it
he found three little boys, tbe oldest
not more than 10 years of age, were
locked in tbe car.
He released them and turned them
over to Marshal Lauer. They gave
their names as Guy Cooney, Fred
Mat90n and Martin Toomey, and say
their parents reside in Albina. The
story of how they happened to be in
the car, If true, is rather exciting, and
their ride from Portland here was a
novel and disagreeable one. Tbey
were sweeping wheat out of the cars
at tbe yards in Albina when some one
came along, locked the car door and
disappeared, rretty soon their car
was attached to a train and started on
a journey, they knew not where.
They made all the noise they could,
but did not attract the attention of
any one until the train stopped at the
yard here. ;
The little fellows suffered consider
ably from cold and - were, terribly
frightened as they did not know where
tbey were going or what would be
come of tbem. ''
Marshall Lauer took the lads in
charge, and gave them quarters at tbe
city jail, then telegraphed to tbe chief
of police in Portland to hunt up their
parents and learn what they wished
done with the boys. At the time of
goiog to press no answer bad been re
ceived. '

A atOOESA OFFICE BUILDING
It Is Capable of Furnishing- Booms for
4000 People. -
There has just been completed on
Park Row, New I York, a .marvelous
modern. building, one that would have
been a wonder a half century ago. but
in this age of high structures, pre-
yokes but little comment, although it
is the highest building in the world.
Its dome reaches" 390 feet from the
level of the street, and the top of the
flagpole thereon is 501 feet above the
bottom of the foundation. It has a
frontage of 103 feet 11 inches on Park
Row, 23 feet on Ann street and 47 feet
10i. inches on Theater alley. Tbe
building has 950 offices, which estimat
ing four persons to the office, make it
capable of accommodating 4,000. Tbe
building is constructed on the. most
modern plan, and the offices are flight
ed with 2,095 windows, In its con
struction 20,000 tons of brick, stone,
iron and glass were used, and its total
cost, exclusive of ground, was $2,400,-
000. It is so well provided with
elevators that the dweller on the 29th
noor reacnes tne street in naif a
minute, and is more accessable to the
world than one living on the third
floor of a building not supp Jied with
elevators.

within its walls can be had from some
of the estimates made in tbe Scientific
American. It says when the offices
are all occupied there will be 4,000
occuoants, and it is reasonable to
suppose that ou a average there will
be at least one caller on every person
eruploved in the building at any given
hour during the day. This would
make a total of 8,000 persons in
tbe building at any given period
during the day. . And if we assume
thai five pei-9003 call on eHch oerupaat
daily, we get a total of nearly 25,000
using the building each working day
of the year.-
S nth a building would accommodate
all tb resilents of The Dalles for
offices and store rooms, and would
leave eoongti t-pane in which half tbe
population could reside. All the men,
women and children of Wasco county
could eaisly get into tbe building ana

ened the sadd:e 'irth upon the brown
horse. On th? l-.r.rse's back he sprung,
the tvalls opeced ami he sped cut, while
behind him cpme streaming a tnmultu
ous rout of horse and foot soldiery in
blue uniforms, whom he had really
failed to notice before, but who evident
ly belonged to the walled inclosure.
The air was cool, bracing, delicious
the skies bright blue. To right and left
rolling hills of considerable height were
crowned with underbrush and strag
gling trees, w&ile deeper woods extend
ed to the background. He noticed that
the leaves were resplendent in red and
yellow, and he realized that October
was in all its glory.
Somehow the ride must have been
short. There was a whirl of dust and
coadh whizzed by not a stage coach
o the west, but one of those affairs witib
broad tires and cushioned seats so much
in vagne for tally-flio parties. He found
himself, horse and all, by the side of the
log wall again, and the coach passed in
side. The next instant be noticed a puff
of white smoke up on the hillside about
1,000 feet away. Then came ether white
puffs, and tibe leaves flew in spots on
either side of him. He called his men
called in a voice which seemed to give
no sound and there was no noise ac
companying the white puffings up there
among the underbrush. His men began
to skulk behind trees and walls and
opened fire upon the places whence
the white Clouds kept rolling.
A man in black rani out upon the hill
side, emerging from a clump of brush.
Tbere was a general firing and the man
staggered. , As he fell Burton noticed
that- he bad changed his costume in the
moment of the fall and was now ar
rayed in a blue-gray uniform. He
picked himself up and reeled among the
trees. There was more firing and Bur
ton awoke.'
Fully believing himself hours behind
his office time, he looked at his clock,
It registered 5:46. All the events of the
dream bad passed before his drowsy
mind in four minutes of actuality. Chi

The Uqoor Habit.
Dr. Frederick W. D'Eyelyn, of St
Luke's hospital, San Francisco, sug
gests a theory which if found to be
practical will solve the temperance
question, and will be a death blow to
the Keely cure and the liquor trade.
He claims it is possible not only to
cure inebriates, but. to fortify children
against the possibility of becoming
drunkards by inoculation, and there
by in a few generations make a sober
nee of people throughout the land.
Dr. D'Evelyn says he has already In-
ouculated persons with marked success
with a preparation taken from a horse
which had been fed on alcohol until he

THE WOLF AND THE EAGLE.
A Legend of Two Young- Saranae In
dian Wnrriora.
When we think of the Indians, we are
apt to remember only the harsh and
cruel traits that they have shown; but
in their stories and legends many
noble qualities are hidden under their
cruelty, like pearls in the uncouth Bhell
of the oyster.
In one of these legends we are told
that there used to be a great many wiz
ards among the tribes, or sachems, as
the Indians called them, who were coun
selors in the camp, but whose chief de
light was in doing evil. They worked
so much mischief in the hunting
grounds that ut last the Great Spirit
locked them in the hollow trees that
grew along the trail.
Some of them, in their struggles to es
cape, thrust their arms out of the trees,
but the closing wood imprisoned them,
and thej- may be seen tuthis day, twist
ed and distorted in agony, as gnarled
roots and withered trunks and
branches.
Others survived this terrible trans
formation, and among them wasOqua
rah, a bent, decrepit, aged sachem, cruel
and evil minded, and jealous lest his
power should wane, or. be eclipsed by
that of a rival. The fate of his brother
sachems did not arouse pity in his heart,
nor did it soften him to know that he
bad been spared.
Oquarah lived with a tribe of the
Saranacs, in which were two young)
warriors, whose bravery and truth com
manded the admiration and love of
their companions. One of these braves
was called the Wolf, the other the
Eagle, and they were friendly rivals in
all deeds of valor.
One day, in the moon of great leaves,
when the hunting groundsi were starred
with flowers, and the soft south wind
blew over the land, the Wolf and the
Eagle left the camp and set out upon a
hunt.
The hours passed, and the Wolf re
turned alone.
Loud and angry cries greeted him as
he appeared thus, but he stood silent,
till, by the sternness of his look, he
quelled the tumult. Then he told them
that he and the Eagle had hunted for
hours together, but at last had become
suparated; and that when the time
came to return, , he had searched in
vain for the Eagle.
His words were received in silence;
but presently Oquarah spoke, Oquarah,
the cruel eacbem.
"I hear a forked tongue," he said. "It
says that the Wolf was jealous of the
Eagle, and that his teeth have cut into
the heart of his friend:"
"The Wolf cannot lie!" answered the
young chief, and then he stood pas
sive, quiet.
Then the sachem clutched his hatchet,
and cried in rage; 1
"Where is the Eagle?"
"The Wolf has spoken," answered the
young chief.
At that, Oquarah raised his hatchet
and struck at the Wolf, but the Wolf s
wife threw herself before her husband,
and the hatchet sunk into her head.
Then, with a cry of rage, the Wolf drew
his knife, -end a moment laiter the sa
chem fell wi-th a mortal wound in his
heart.
Great excitement and discord fol
lowed these tragic events, and finally
the tribe divided, half of them following
the Wolf down the Great Sounding
river in search of new hunting grounds.
But the Wolf was very unhappy. He
had lost his friend and bis- wife, and
his tribe had been broken up; all
through the evil suspicions of the cruel
sachem.
Many years passed, and the Wolf be
came great in his tribe. But when
ever his tribe met the other, the ground
between their hunting ground was wet
with blood.
One day the tribe on the Upper Sar
anae saw a canoe appear on the. Lake of
the Silver Sky, arid in it was the Eagle.
He told them how he had been1 sepa
rated from the-Wolf, and had fallen
into a cleft of a great rock, from Which
he was rescued by some soldiers from
Canada. They had taken him with'
them, and. he had fought with the Brit
ish against the French. As the years
passed, and he grew old, however, his
heart yearned for the. people of his
tribe, and he had come back to die
among them. ' -
When he heard that the Wolf had
been accused of his death, he was very
sad, but he called a meeting of the war
riors of the two camps, and peace was
made between them. So the Eagle
died, at last, happy in the knowledge
that he had cleared his friend and re
united his people. Philadelphia Times.
