A band of Chinese brlgande attacked tolav an Imoerlal convov which waa on tha way to Kirin with a larva amount of bullion. Tha robtiers carried away about $850,000. T Tha number of brigands In tha pro vlnca of Klrln haa Increaaed raoldly ainca tha beginning of tha nolltical dls turbaneaa and tha unsettled condition in all Part of the country. Many aoldiera have deserted from tha armv and have Joined the ranka of the brlranda and now live ODenly bv plundering-. Brigand even attack settlemenla In which thev loot tha atorea and do not heaitate to murder tha inhabltanta if they offer any resistance. richIlahath lands are open Agitation to have tha Klamath In dian reservation formally opened haa led Superintendent Watson to aay that the reservation la virtually ooen now and that no formal action needa to be taken. The condiliona are eomcwhat different from thoae on other reserve tlona which have Iwen opened In that nearly all agricultural lamia have been allotted to the Indiana, and the only acreage remanlnlg unallotted la la tim ber. Thla dea not mean that there la no opportunity for white men to acauire homca and property on the reservation aava Watson, who asscrta that it offera the greatest oouortunttira to the home aeekcr of any reservation ever opened inthe United State. There la no eueh thlnir aa free land now. he aava. and for that matter never waa. aa In land ooenlnsg onlv about 20 per cent of the applicants ever received anything and it usunllv coala them aa much aa it waa worth before their aettlement waa completed. According to an eatimate made last year, there were 5.500.000.000 feet of atanding timber on the reaervation and fullv one-half of thla la eubteet to ap plication for purchase. Naturally moat of thla will bo bought bv lumbering concerna and manufactured. It fa assert. d that thla development will mean a big thinir for the reservation and the northern oart of Klamath county. At thia lime there are thouaanda of acrea of the beat agricultural lamia on the reservation for sale, aava Wat aon. The heat landa can be bought at verv low figures. He aava thai a third of the farm landa around Modoc l'oint and from a third to one-half of the sagebrush and meadow landa along Sprague river. Itclonir to the estates of dead Indiana. These land were allott ed and naturally were the choice pieces. Application can be made at anv time for their aale. and after appraisal bida are advertiaed for. and the landa usual ly aold to the highest bidder. i xact h is i to live Barrels of Hidden Gold Oklahoma Citv.-J. J. Avrea. 70 years old. la here to eet financial bacainir for a search for a treasure of whirh he heard 40 vcara ago in Fort Worth, and which ha declarea ia buried in a cave somewhere in the old Indian Territory part of Oklahoma. He will undertake it himself provided aome one will grubstake him for the journey. He aava he knowa the location of the treaauru. and aa an old man with but a few veara ha ia willing to divide it with whoever will put up the nccuaaarv funds. Ay res read in a newanaper recently of a search which Big Keyea. an Okla homa Indian, haa been making; for money which he concealed in a cave more than HO veara ago and wnich he haa never been able to locate. He be lieves that the cold for which he in tenda to search ia the same treasure. and the atorv colled to hia mind an in cident of more than 40 veara ago, which led to hia atart on the rearch for the money. Forty veara ago he waa in Fort Worth he aava. and at that timo a trapper. whose name he haa forgotten, fre quentiy went there for supplies. The trapper waa somewhat inclined to take too much whisky aboard on hia visits to the oitv, and waa in the habit of leaving aeveral sold coina with the dealer from whom he purchased sup pilea before setting drunk, aa he waa afraid aomeone would ateal them from him. The money waa in sold, consist ing; of both Spanish and American piecea. Counsel for the plumbing trust, in Ita fll'ng Ita answer In tha auit de manding dissolution, pleasantly Inform ed tha court that It waa a "friendly suit." to which the defendanta "cheer fully agreed." and that hia clienta "had no objection to" to a decree which would enjoin them "from violating the law." Such politeness Indicates the truth of the rumor that an agreement haa been made to tha effect that the truat and Ita membere will make no opposi tion to a decree of dissolution If tha government will not proceed under the penal charges of tha Hherman act. That la eoulvalent to a conteaaion of guilt, fur if the members of thla truat were conscious of innocence thev would rise in their might and demandvlndlca tlon bv a iurv. The plumbing truat in all ita ramifi cations la the greediest, most far reaching, most relentless and most shameless trust In America. It includes In Ita membership every aoul engaged in the plumbing buainesa from the great corporation which man ufacture on the moat extended acale down to the smallest retailer, and even to the exalted person wh.. with hia ever present heloe. comes to aurvev your premises and get the coffee grounda out of vour sink spout. If. up to a short time ago. vou ahould go into a fobbing house and auk for a joint of cast Iron pipe to aend out to vour farm to connect vour aink with the drain, the salesman would refuse to sell it to vou. Now he probably will not rafoae to aell it to vou but the price he wilf fix will be a corker. If you should go to a retailer he would not sell vou the Pipe either, but would cheer fully argee to aend out aid put it in for vou- a job which vou could do per fectly well yourself. These and similar reitrirtions were imposed from the toD to the bottom of the business, and the man who should even once violate one of them could be. and would be. put out of buainesa. No one could even start in anv branch of the buainesa without becoming a party to the conspiracy to be enfored with the moat drastic of hoycotta. for he could not get the gooda at anv price. The government haa no business to plsv favorites. If it proposes not merely to dissolve, but to punish all the big trusta. it surely ahould not aelect for the immunity bath the most wide spread and hateful of all.

TEDDY PREACHES ON "HUMILITY" Oyster Hay. N. V.. Dec. 25. "I don't care how big a man may be he ia tinv in comparison with the mass of men who must work with him to bring anv real auccesa." aaid Colonel Roose velt, speaking before hia fellowtowna ment at a Christmas aervice at the Protestant Episcopal Church.
