can hardly consider yourself free from
arrest, if once outside this city. Would
you he willing 10 undergo, say a year's
Imprisonment to become a free man—•
providing you would be left alone to
enjoy the wealth you have accumu-
lated?"
"I would."
"You do not hesitate to tell me
tliis?" asked Louis.
"No," I know the drift of your ques-
tioning. I have never looked upon
you as a criminal, so I am not sur-
prised to find that you are not—for
you are not!"
"You arc right," replied Louis.
"Well, then, if you are willing to do
the square thing, how am I to know
it?"
"Put me to the test," said Golden.
"You know me well enough now to
feel, 1 hope, that I am a friend of
yours. You have saved my life—you
need not fear that I will do anything
that will betray you."
"You must know, then. Golden, that
I represent a large body of citizens
who are going to try to overthrow
this government. The thing can be
accomplished easier with your aid
than without it. I want you to try
and win over Rogers to my side—to
npike the enemy's guns, fo to speak.
This is not to be a fight of right
against wrong, but. criminal against
criminal. In the scuffle a few intend
By means of Golden, Rogers was
woa over; Rogers spoke to Peinoi;
Pearson spoke to Pintzer— in this way
a large company was formed, compris-
ing the most daring and intelligent
men in the community. At the
right time the conspirators met at the
residence of I-ang. Among those as-
sembled in the cellar of the house,
where the meeting took place, was
Wilson and Black Jack, the Instigator,
the leader of the tunnel gang who had
been liberated by the aid of Rogers.
The meeting was called to order by
Lang as soon as all those invited had
assembled.
"Gentlemen," he said, "by appearing
here together, each one of us has re-
solved to become a conspirator—or In
other words, a rebel—one who rebels
against present government. The only
difference I may add, between a rebel
and a patriot, is the gaining of the
victory. If we lose, of necessity we
are traitors, and if we win, which is
a foregono conclusion, we will become
patriots or simply revolutionists. As
each of you gentlemen has been In-
formed, there is a conspiracy on foot
to overthrow the government of Para-
dise. Where you find power there will
you find a misuse of power—and such
wo think is the caso here. There are
two sides, of course, to this story. The
men in the mines, about three hun-
dred. I think, have resolved to have
freedom at any cost—they are desper-
ate enough, as I am informed, not to

me your aid; win over Rogers and a
few of the most influential, trust-
worthy of his ilk, and I can promise
you a free pardon from the United
States government. There are a few
that I cannot promise pardons, wheth-
er on my side or not—but to you I
can. What do you think of It?"
"You can depend on me! As I told
you before, I am ready to do what Is
right."
The arrangements being complete,
Golden was considered by Lang to be
The conspiracy has reached that stage
where nothing, I think, can check
them from making a trial. The way
to liberty Is open; arms they have in
plenty; all that is lacking now is the
signal to go ahead with the slaughter.
"On the other hand, there are at
least a thousand citizens who are rea-
sonably satisfied with the present con-
dition of affairs, or at least are satis-
fied that they may be worse off than
they are now. When the convicts
dash for freedom the others will de-

worthy of trust. Being told of Lang's
plans and the necessity of quick
action, Golden approached Rogers as
soon as he had a chance.
"There is a well organized plan on
foot,'' said Golden to Rogers in a
guard- <i but determined manner, best
calculated to impress the Chief of Po-
lice, "to cause a rebellion in Para-
dise. The ostensible plan is for a few
to obtain control of the gold in the
vaults while the main body of citizens
are fighting among themselves. What
do you think Is the better plan, to
light to maintain the present state of
things or jump in with the ring lead-
ers and get. a free pardon from the
United States government, at the
same time filling our pockets?"
•'Get a fngcr in the pie!" answered
Rogers. "Is that your idea?"
"That's my idea," replied Golden,
bluntly.
••You must be pretty well backed
up. Golden, to dare to make such a
proposition to me!"
"! am," firmly replied Golden. "Free-
dom and pardon la quite an induce-
ment to me. The same is open to you
if you wnnt It!"
•'Then the state's government is at
the back of this?"
•'Of course. What do you care for
these misguided men? You nre not
such a desperate criminal that you
need to hide yourself away here.
Every nonv nt. you remain here you
pre placing your neck further in the
holter. Don't you think it would be
better to live in civilization like a
white man?"
"I presume so. There is no doubt
of the success of the rebellion?"
"None whatever. The fall of Para-
dise is assured. You will join us,
then?"
"Us. . Certainly, if you are in it!"
"Well, then, show your loyalty by
acquainting Sam Pearson with the
state of affairs. Any one whom you
can trust—good and loyal men whom
you would like to see get a dip in the
gold bags. Be leery, however, of
men who have really committed capi-
tal crime, whom you know would have
trouble to get a pardon. Understand?"
"Sure. WThcre do we meet to draw
up a compact."
"At the haunted house," replied
Golden.
"So T^ang is in it?"
"Head and front!"
"I thought so. That man is a devil.
There is no doubt will win!"
fend themselves, and the laws as they
now stand. The question before us
to-night, then, is to consider the propo-
sition of whether it is best to uphold
the present government with Schiller
at the head, ioin the convicts, or as I
would suggest, while these factions
are quarreling among themselves, step
iu and help ourselves to the gold lock-
ed in the treasury? That is, become
guerillas. They say there Is honor
among.thieves! Have you, gentlemen,
found that you have not been robbed
by your more influential following?
Have you been treated fairly? i have
no excuse to offer for making the sug-
gestion- you know the treatment that
has been accorded me here. I advo-
cate the plan that we, while convict
Is fighting citizen, each trying to sub-
due the other, we dip our hands, not
in human blood, but in the money
bags, and make our escape before the
loss can become known! We need not
risk our necks in vain attempt to pro-
tect a worthless institution nor yet
belittle our bravery by pouncing upon
helpless women and children. 'A
country divided against itself will
fall. One of these factions will win.
Either or both can live without money,
because money is not needed here.
Then I maintain that we harm no one.
"Now, speaking of the financial side
j of the qtv stion. Suppose there are a
: million dollars in pold in the vault—
wliich there is—besides bank notes of
, high denomination. If this sum only
j was divided between each man, worn-
I an and child in town it would give
| $500 per man. To ten this sum rep-
resents a collossal fortune; a hun-
! died thousand dollrrs each! Is there
any one here who thinfts he could not
livo well upon this sum? Not one, I
ween—because even to us, sensible
men, this sum is almost incomprehen-
sible. WUiat joy to control that sum
of money! But this is not all. The
United States government has a
standing offer for the counterfeiting
plate from which our ten dollar bills
are made, and free pardons for those
who bring It in; there are at least
fifty men here who are wanted 'dead
or alive,' with a price upon their
heads aggregating $200,000. Shall we
let this generous offer go by?"
Then up spoke Golden.
"I thought, I^ng, you were sur-
rounded by a band ulready! I had no
idea you were trying to organize one
now."
"I am not," replied I^ang. "I am at
the head of a band. !t is a band bent, I
however, on robbing the vaults. This
town is dcomed. There can be no ;
doubt of that! But what I want is
something more than ruins!"
"Suppose we should refuse." de-
manded Rogers, evidently chagrined ;
at being "taken in."
"I)o you suppose for a moment, gen- j
tlemen, that I would allow any or■» to
warn the citizens, or that a single life i
w ould be allowed to stand between me ;
and the accomplishment of my pur- j
pose? Not so, all hero are not new
to this phase of the sch'Tne TtlOSe 1
who are new 1 ask to stand aside out
of the scuffle—be saved! Those who
wish to refuse will refuse! 1 want to
trust those who are here, because my
purpose cm be bettor accomplished
with your help. Be warned! Money
I must, and money I will have! And
rather than face def* at ! would s'.av
with my own hands the man who now
stands between me and fortune! it
now becomes a case with me, gentle- j
men. of kill or get killed, and you
know me!"
Then up spoke Black Jack: "The
gentlemen present, If they were not
blinded, could readily see what Lang
says is the truth. He certainly is
backed up by a powerful insurgent
force. Take me, for instance. 1 am a
life convict, doomed to work all my
life In the mines. Then how am 1 here
to-night? Some of you have seen me
out upon the streets bei. e this. Sim-
ply because Lang has a i icans of en-
trance into our pri in, and at his call
all the convicts aivl people in general
who are dissatisfied w ith the present
government will arm themselves,
break their bonds, ad throw them-
selves upon those who bar their way
to liberty!"
This powerful argument was sec-
onded by Wilson, who spoke.
"It. has long been an understood fact
to me that the majority of the people
desire to divide the money that is in
the vault. This mode of treatment
would enrich no one, for no one needs
money here; what matters the loss of
a paltry hundred or so to those who
really have no use for money? Such
men as Golden and Rogers need not
hesitate to throw off the yoke of alle-
giance to this false state of things. It
is only a question of time, any way,
when wo must be driven from the
ptronghold we have made for our-
selves. It is too late to turn back
now. 'Those who are not with us are
against us!'"
"I think it would be best to join this
league," said one of the spokesmen in
the corner. "In it for us there is to
be no bloodshed. To remain with the
government is to be compelled to put
down the insurrection; to side with
them is treason; there is no middle
course but this."
"I don't see as we can do bettor,"
said Pearson. "It seems kind of dirty,
but still we are bound to protect our-
selves. I for one, am tired of living in
a constant state of fear of assassina-
tion all the time."
"Then, gentlemen, if you are agreed,
sign this paper," said Lang. "It binds
you to obey me in everything con-
cerning this insurrection. In return I
give you my word of honor that wo
shall share and share alike in all
things. Should I die, divide my share
among you—should any one die we
will divide his share. If there are any
family men amongst us, let us pledge
ourselves as brothers to see that not
one of our brothers' families snail
want for food nor drink while any of
us have something to divide.
While the paper was being signed
Lang gave some details of his plan.
"We have the town at our mercy!"
he said, enthusiastically. "We are at
the head of a band of over three hun-
dred. All that is needed now is a few
bombs placed around under the walls.
At a given signal from me, light the
fuse and blow the walls to pieces;
open up the prison and pour out the
convicts; in the confusion I can lead
you by a safe li^ute to the treasury—
and the gold is ours! Be ready when
the signal strikes!"

is Enforced—Indians Can Borrow
Cheaper Money as Result
Gl'THKIK rapt Frank Frantz, the
Osage Indian agent has received in
structions from the interior depart-
ment, to notify all bankers and trad
trs operating in the Osage Indian na-
tion that the department will no longer
sanction the loaning of monev to In-
dians a-; any higher rate than that fixed
by the statutes. This decision refers !
to all persons or llrms who may loan
the Indians money, and all are ad-
vised to govern their transactions
with the Indians *<eordlngly.
It has been known for some time. (
that upon information furnished by
('apt. Frantz, the Indian office at j
Washington bis been considering the
rates of interest that hive been paid
by the Osage Indians for borrowed |
money, and has reach<nl the conclusion j
that Indians should not bo required I
by the Oklahoma statutes. The stat- i
b ythe Oklahoma statutes. '1 he stat- ;
ute places the maximum rate at 12 |
per cent per annum, as well as for
short time loans. When o greater rate
is charged, the person paying it or
his personal representative may re-
cover the excess from the person tak-
ing it In an action in the proper court.
Both Capt. Frantz. representing the
Osages and United States Attorney
Horace Speed, in behalf of ali the In
dlatis, have advised with the depart-
ment along this lino.
About 1901 a trade system was
adopted among the Osages with a
view to bettering the Indians' flnan
cial condition. Arrangements were
made to pay their old debts dnd their
future transactions were to be restrict-
ed to keep them out of debt, if pos
slble. This refers to the annuity money
paid to the Indians by the agent at
Pawhuska. The policy carried with it
the appointment of a trade supervislor
and has so far been a decided success.
Financially the Osages are in a bet-
ter condition than they have been for
many years.
The Indian office at Washin gton is
of the opinion that there has been a
great improvement in the affairs of
the Osage reservation since 1901;
that there is much more money in the
locality of the reservation at this time
than there was at that date; and.
therefore, there is no necessity of the
Indians paying such high- rates of in
terest. In view of the great* frauds
practiced upon the Indians in loaning
them money at usurious fates, the
department, will use every effort to
have the legal rato ef interest en-
forced in aJl parts of Oklahoma, whore-
ever Indians nre located.
As a result, of the department tak-
ing this step in other parts of tho
territory the legal rate of interest is |
being enforced to protect the Kiowa
and Comanches.
Why the Tenor Was Fined.
The late Judge ("Biff") llall of
Chicago took great delight in telling
the following story of "Punch"
Wheeler.
W'heeler, at that time the advance
agent of a minstrel company, had re-
turned to New York before the close
of the theatrical season, and a friend,
meeting him on Broadway, asked him
how he had found business.
"Very bad," said "Punch;" "so bad
that the only way we could pay the
members of the troupe was to line
them. It worked splendidly, too;
and by the time we reached
Texas the manager had squared up
with the whole company excepting the
first tenor, who was such a proper
chap that there was no chance to find
fault with his actions. At Galveston
Mr. Tenor sang for his solo 'The
Lighthoe.se by the Sea.' and for an
encore responded with 'Over the Mills
to the Poorhouse.' That gave the
boss the opportunity he was looking
for and he levied on the songster's
salary for the entire amount—first,
for telling the business we were play-
ing to, and second, for giving away the
route of the show."—Judge.

FORAKER'S RAILROAD BILL
Present a Rate Bill to Head Olt the
President's Plan
WASHINGTON: Senator Foraker
has presents! to the senate committee
on interstate commerce the draft of
his bill to amend tho interstate com-
merce law.
The senator stated that he had tried
to meet the complaints against pres-
ent. railroad conditions and at the
same tinio avoid conferring upon the1
interstate commerce commission or
any similar body the power over rail-
road rates.
Tho Foraker bill, however, provides
for enjoining the publishing and
charging of excessive rates and for
enjoining any discriminations forbid-
den by law, whether as between ship-
pers, places, commodities or otherwise
and whether affected by means of
rates, rebates, classifications, private
ears, proferentials, "or in any other
manner whatever.* While this doesnot
confer upon the court tho power to
fix ratos. it does authorize the court
to say what is an unlawful rate and
how much is unlawful and to enjoin
the carrier from charging more than
!s found to be unlawful. The bill also
is designed to prohibit the giving of
pass< i, allow free access to railroad
documents and meet complaints as to
rail rates on export and import freight.

KINGFISHER: Judge Burford will
be hero next week to try the Smith
bankruptcy case, which has some in-
teresting features. James A. Smith

considerable politics in the affair, but
Smith was finally declared bankrupt.
Ho still insisted, however, tfyat he was
not, and took tho matter into court.

Dairy Associations.
Dairy association have been of tin-
men- help to the'eountrj They have
more than anything else stimulated
the production of milk and butter, and
have secun d for the producer of these
articles lower rates on the railroads
than could have been obtained in any
other way. Considering the small size
of these associations the work accom-
plished has been remarkable. Very
few of the state dairy association#
have more than two or three hundred
actual members; iu some cases the
actual members do not exceed one
hundred. There are a great many
members that pay their yearly fee for
the mere sake of having their names
on the membership roll. In numerous
cases these are agents of dairy supply
houses, butter colors and other com-
mercial interests connected more or
less remotely with dairying. Tho
small number of members have, how-
ever, the support of the farming popu-
lation. They are looked upon as some-
thing of a parliament, where great
policies are discussed and adopted.
When the representatives of these as-
sociations conio before the state legis-
lature, tho members of tho legislature
realise that these men stand for many
thousands of dairymen in their states.
Were this not so, the National Hairy
Union, an association composed of but
a handful of men, could never liavo
forced the oleomargarine laws through
Congress. Tho Wisconsin Dairymen's
Association, about thirty years ago,
took up the matter of railroad rates.
They sent one of their leading officers
to Chicago, and ho spent days in con-
ferring with the men of the railroads
passing through Wisconsin. Ho ob-
tained a rate which, for lowness, was
unheard-of In those days, lie also ob-
tained the use of refrigerator cars for
shipping Wisconsin butter and cheese
to Chicago, New York and other east-
ern points. The results were imme-
diately felt in Wisconsin and through-
out tho entire West. It was the Illi-
nois Dairymen's association that really
created the existing state pure food
commission. It fought for years to
get the bill that created the commis-
sion through the legislature. The good
work accomplished will go on from
year to year and from generation to
generation. Yet In spite of tho great
work that was done, no convention of
Illinois dairymen exceeds a hundred
or so of actual members. I think the
farmers everywhere should encourage
the formation of dairy associations. I
also believe they should lose no oppor-
tunity in attending the meetings of
dairy associations. It has been a mat-
ter of remark that the farmers living
near the meeting places in many cases
seem to ignore entirely the existence
of tho associations and the holding of
conventions, even when these conven-
tions have been held in localities noted
for their dairying industry. Sometimes:
the audience has been composed of
people from beyond the boundaries of
the county, with but a sprinkling of
tho local farmers. The farmer that
has the opportunity to attend a dairy
convention almost without expense to
himself can afford to sacrifice two or
three days of the time on his farm for
tho : ake of being present at tho meet-
ings. The amount of information
that he will obtain will be worth vast-
ly more to him than the amount of
work that he can do in tlie same time.

Animal Husbandry in Ohio.
The Ohio Experiment Station has os*
tablislied a department of animal hus-
bandry. and placed it iti charge of
It. E. Carmichael, B. S., a graduate of
the University of Illinois. Mr. Car-
michael will continue the experiments
in feeding for beef and for milk which
have been in progress at the main sta-
tion at Wooster for several years past,
and will also conduct experiments in
cattle and sheep feeding at the test-
farms. It is further planned to carry
on a limited number of co-operative
experiments with farmers who arc
feeding extensively. A lamb fetding
test of this character is cow being
started.
Cooking a Ham.
Lay the ham in sufficient cold water
to cover it well, for some hours; then
scrape and wash it very carefully and
put it in fresh water to cover; let it
remain all night. The following morn*
lug put sufficient fresh water to boil in
a large pot—plenty to cover the ham—
and when it is nearly boiling, gently
immerse the ham, let it come to tho
boiling point nnd keep it simmering
for an hour. Then, if tho ham is a
very salt one, change the water, not
otherwise; add a bay leaf, two large
onions or four small ones, the greens
from six stalks of celery or a table-
