The annexationist are not eo few as might
be supposed from the big flurry f the
antle In the delegation which went to
Lincoln. It will be remembered that
petition wa circulated In favor of annexa
tion laat eummer before there waa any
public discussion of the question at all and
It received 1,000 signatures. That fact alone
ought to convince the antle that they will
tiave something to do. To the great ma
Jorlty of the people the -calamity predic
tions' of the antl-annexatlonlsts are looked
upon as ridiculous. They can see through
the thin veil to the money which the office
eeklng claaa delight to handle. It Is
charged or claimed that all the South
Omaha real estate men are of the opinion
that the move to annea South Omaha
Srould cause a big slump In prices. Such
' statement has never appeared over the
signature of H. M. Christie, nor W. F.
Burdlck, nor I. C Gibson; in fact, none
unless It be the firm of T. 3. O'Nell. whose
'prices on some South Omaha real estate
have been the wonder of the city, notably
the quarter block at the southwest corner
of Twenty-fourth and O, part of which was
purchased by the city for $16,825 for a city
ball site. With the above quotations it la
easy to see why some of the South Omaha
real estate men should take alarm. A
piece of property Just opposite the city
hall on the east side of Twenty-fourth
street has been offered for nearly a year
for 2,C00 and has no takers. The slse
of the ground Is over half that of the prop
erty before mentioned. The antl-annexatlonlsts
were careful to secretly paint out
the sign offering this property for sale
at .the time of the laying of the corner
atone of the city hall, lest the large dele
sjaUon which was expected from Lincoln
(or the occasion should notloe the dis
crepancy. 3d. H- Christie, who put up the
sign on the property, would be thankful
to know who mutilated the sign with paint.
Under the proposed law the time of the
lection for voting on the proposition Is
lft to the county commissioners, and I
for one believe that within two years the
people of South Omaha will be' asking for
annexation from the commissioners."

GORY RECORD OF STREET CARS
Crswllag Railroad fer Slaagfcter
Laarele What It Coats la
Money.
In an article entitled "The Needless
Slaughter by Street Cam," by John P. Fox,
In the March Everybody's, the writer says:
If along every mile of street railway
track In the United States a headstone
were raised for every death by accident
the routes we dally travel would resemble
one long drawn-oot cemetery.
Within the limits of Greater New Tork
the total number killed last year rose to
tn. For every person killed a number are
Injured, some of them crippled for life.
That this slaughter and maiming Is crimin
ally needless Is sufficiently attested by a
single fact:
In all London In the last year of record
(11)08) the total number killed was ten.
According to the Royal Traffic commis
sion, the tram cars of London for 1901 car
ried 406,079,201 passenger. The total traffic
of Greater New Tork last year was a little
over 1.100.000,000 passengers carried. These
figures, however. Include subway and ele
vated traffic, while the records for London
do not. But even on the basis of a com
parison of traffic, the number killed In
London la equivalent to about 27, agalnat
about 227 for Greater New Tork. And thla
Is no exceptional Instance.
What Is true of New Tork la true of al
moot every other large city In America.
What Is true of London Is true of almost
every other large oltv In Europe.
These' appalling statistics are backed by
still more remarkable figures , as to th
amounts paid out for damages by Amert
can and by European companies. Thua,
the various companies of Greater New Tork
reported for 1908 a total of 12,098,009.69 paid
out in damages, two million dollars m a
single year) But this was not all. The
same companies reported "for legal expenses
In connection with accidents' the further
item of C,005,8&a.Sl, making the total amount
of damages M.1CM02.40,
This la equivalent to 60,000,000 fares
year I
The total amount paid out by all the
tram companies of the united Kingdom.
Including Great Britain and Ireland, for the
year 1903-4 was only 1891,0001
Or take it by dues. The amount oald out
by the municipal system of Liverpool for
l was K3.80O. The amount paid out by
the Boston elevated, operating the surface
systems of Boaton, for 1906 was SdC3,S7Bi
The trafflo of the chief Berlin company
is greater by a half than that of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. The
amount paid out In 1906 by this Berlin com-
Pny was $66,600. -The amount paid out by
we Brooklyn company In 1906 was $348,038 10

SURELY A SOLITARY LIFE
Kestaeky Moaatalneera ' Stick

Their Homes and Meet Few
Oatslders.
My woik, which kept me In eastern Ken
tucky for more than a year, with occasional
detail Into the mountains of eastern Ten
nessee and western Virginia, made it quite
clear to me why the denlaens of those
fastnesses take so easily to "moonshinlng,"
or Illicit distilling, ana wny me aeam-
deallng feud thrive so In such environ
ments.
According to the best Information I have
been able to obtain these people are the de
scendants of the convicts that were colon
ised In the Appalachian mountains by Great
Britain before the war of the revolution.
They have never' come In contact with the
world and are amaxingly Ignorant of any'
thing which happens outside their Immedi
ate neighborhood. I have seen old men
who had never been half a mile away from
their homes whose whole lives had been
passed In the creek bottom where they had
been borrv There are a few schools, to be
sure, but the territory Is so extensive and
the schools are' so few that aj relatively
smalt number of 'children ever see a book.
There Is comparatively little communlca
tlon between the different parts of the coun
try. Only the more prosperous own horses
or mules. In some sections travel by horse
back is Impossible. Although the mountains
are not high, the country Is probably the
roughest In the United States. A meadow
Is a rarity and the land Is too precious for
pasturage. Here and there a few scrawny
cows are to be seen, but they belong only
to the comparatively rich and are forced
to . shift for - themselves by gracing along
the creek beds and underbrush. With
pastoral life out of the question the In
habitants resort to agriculture In the most
primitive and limited way. Patches of
ConC seldom exceeding five acres In extent.
are cultivated on the sides of the hills,
where the slope Is frequently at an angle
of forty-five degrees. The land la tilled
by the hoe, for no horse could drag a plow
over such ground.
Probably the most respected dtlsen tn
tstern Kentucky mountain districts Is old
Sbackleford.. who lives at the head 'of
Poor Fork creek. In Perry county. Bhackl
ford la getting old now he must be about
70 but there Is no adventurous, fire-eating
youth who cares to try conclusions with
him. Too many have attempted that and
died. 'He has a record of thirty-eight
"killings" to his credit a record that no
western desperado from Las Vegas to the
Canadian line has ever equaled. He has
been shot from ambush, but he .has sur
vived his wounds, although this much can
not be said of the man that shot first. His
neighbors stand In awe of htm and he is
said to bear a charmed life. His cabin
Is decorated with coon skins and over the
front door IS nailed the skin of the biggest
rattlesnake ever killed In the Kentucky
mountains. Shackleford'a most dreaded
antagonist in a fight was his wife and he
killed her several years ago In a domeatlo
brawl. The militant old woman was given
Imposing resting place. She waa burled
on the top of Harlan peak and her grave
was dug eight feet deep. 8hackleford has
directed that he be burled Just above her
when he dies.
I want folks to know that I come out on
top," he said In giving his instructions.

WANT TO MAKE WAR WORSE
Noaaeroas laventors at Work oa De

The government expends a small sum
each year for testing new devices of a pos
sible military vajua. The board of ordl
nance and fortification la supposed to have
the duty of encouraging Inventors and as
sisting In the development of their In
ventions.
Last year only 16,000 was expended by the
board, which, with Its accumulated allot
ments of previous years, has now on hand
more than 1100.000. Comparatively few ex
perlments are made and the vast number of
suggestions are apparently shelved with'
out much more attention than polite ac
knowledgment to the authors.
Nearly all the devices submitted are In

adding to the eftlcacy of the means of fight

Borne of the other Inventions which have
beenfavorMy received may be regarded as
having a tendency to encourage peace since
they would Introduce into warfare factors
of devastation which would by their diabol

those bomb-dropping devices which. It suc
cessful, would destroy whole armies; the
Inflammable projectile capable of burning
up a camp; the nitroglycerin missile; a
scheme for pouring burning sulphur Into
trenches, and kindred methods of whole

a chance to pick off Its opposing marksmen
and Incidentally strew high explosives along
a death-dealing route. One of these hurtling
cars makes the famed Juggernaut look like
a nursery toy.
One of the conditions which seems to be
fully met by incipient invention Is the use
of smoke for various purposes. Including
that of a shield which will permit approach

a number of passengers tried to make their

the windows.

on the third rail, vaulted Into the roadway.
Astonished that he had not been electro

IT'S THE LONG LOST MINE
Texas Adds a Mineral Wonder to
th Met of Prospectors'
Dreams.
It Is reported that tn the Frio moun.
tains, about twenty-five miles south of
Kerrville, Tex., an ancient Spanish mine
ha been discovered by W. W. Chambers,
which Is supposed to be the long lost Ban
Baba gold and silver mine, described by
tradition as of fabulous richness.
Many expeditions have gone in search of
this mine. Tradition says that more than
100 men were employed In it and that they
were all massacred by Indians, who oov
ered the shaft and effaced all evidence of
Its existence.
The story of Chambers' discovery Is that
he explored the mine in company with
several other men. They discovered that
the shaft opened Into a large chamber at a
depth of only twenty feet from the sur
face. In this chamber was a pile of skele
tons, numbering eighty human beings.
These are supposed to be th remains of
the miners killed by th Indians. In th
same compartment were found many an
cient tools. More than fifty guns of an
cient make were also found.
According to traditions there were sev
eral hundred thousand dollars of gold and
silver stored at the mine at the time the
attack waa made by the Indiana. Cham
bers and bis companions did not find this
bullion.
In a canyon near the shaft the ruins of
the ancient smelting furnaces operated in
connection with the mine were found. The
ruins of th old or crusher were also
standing.
The rediscovery of this mine has pro
duced excitement throughout thla part of
the state. Mr. Chambers has staked sev
eral olaims adjacent to the property and
other mining prospectors have gone to they
locality and all of th land for several
miles surrounding the mine Is being pros
pected for minerals.
According to the old records the Span
iards took more than 1. 000,000 of ore out
of th mine during the year that they
worked It. Charles L. Dignowlty of Bos
ton, Mass., made several efforts to locate
the Ban Baba mln many years ago. It Is
said that be spent more than 110,000 In this
fortune hunting expedition, but In vain.
In the early '60s Jose Flores, a Mexican
of Monclova, obtained a copy of the musty
record concerning the mine and, coining to
Ban Antonio, . outfitted an expedition to
search for it. At that time the Comanche
Indians were raiding th country west of
Ban Antonio and Benor Floras was warned
that he would be risking the lives of him
self and his men If iie entered the region
where the mine was said to be located.
He laughed at these warnings and, ac
companied by six men and two teams and
wagons, left for the Frio river country.
The party had reached a point near the
present town of Utopia when they were
Bred upon by Indians and all were killed.
The Indiana took the horses and burned
the wagons.
Ban Baba Bam Hennlng has been search
ing for the lost San Saba mine for twenty
years. He works on a ranch a few months
each year and make enough money to
support him while he wander over the
hills and mountains the other nine months.
Bo far as known he has not heard of
