There has been i-o nun since it began to

takes a lot of it to make a bale and a biy;

is good, though, and none of it is sampled
below middling, and most of it as good
middling. This compensates the grower.

showed the newspaper man a clipping from

He also, in conversation, gave out several
other “pointers," and when he left Outz he
shoved a couple of tickets in his hand. He
says there was not a word spoken about

was served. The case is set for Oct. 19, iu

Tampa Tribune: Tho rumor on the streets
to the effect that Col. G. A. Hanson was
rotten-egged Thursday night, from wliat we

off some scoundrel threw an egg, which

with others, and there is no more evidence
that it was intended for him than for others
who wore on the train. Sheriff James Mar
tin got a bigger share of the splatterings
than any one else we can learn of. Chi last
Monday evening, when the freight train
was ooming in, and opposite the electric

through one of the windows of the passen

Madison county gave a majority of 190
against prohibition. There were irregulari
ties on which both sides can base a contest
if they desire. The Antis are contemplating
a contest for the Madison precinct, betting
such action upon the irregularity in the
election of that precinct. Upon the other
hand those who opposed the sale claim to
have sufficient evidence of irregularities to
throw out the returns from other precincts
giving majorities for the sale tooverbalanee
the loss of tho Madison precinct and to so
change the result as to make it against the
sale in the county. Probably no thought of
a contest would be entertained had tho
irregularity which occurred here taken
place in some precinct of minor importance.
None charge that fraud was committed by
these irregularities.

Last Thursday night, as one of Tucker &

when near the residence of E 1. Dickinson,
something caused one of the horses to kick,
and the team ran a wav, eventually rushing
into a fence, one of the timbers of which
pierced the body of one of the horses. It
was taken to the stable, and all the relief
possible afforded it. Two men staid with it
through the night. It is said that tho horse
would show almost human intelligence
when the men left it, by giving vent to such
agonizing tones tw would call them hack
again. It survived the wound for about
twenty hours, and at that time, s eing that
it was growing worse, Mr. Tucker ordered
it le ito the woods to die. It had left the
stable but a few steps when it became too
weak to proceed farther, fell, ami expired
almost immediately.

made a purchase of some meat, and started
ofi her return home. She kept going until
dark and failed to find her home or come in
sight of any house, and soon realized the
faet that she was hist, but kept struggling
along hoping to find her way home iir to
soma place she could get shelter. She had
oil a pair of slippers; they soon liecoma so
wet they had to lie taken off, and She
wandered around liaro foupgl nutii be
came foot-sore and exhausted, and fell
down in a fainting fit. She was aroused
some time during the night by an opossum
rooting about her hand trying to get the
meat m her basket. When she became
conscious the moon was shining. The’pos
sum run off, but she states that some kind
of animal, as large as a small dog, with
bright shiny eyes, kept walking around her
the balance of the night, and that she was
afraid to move, ami Imd to remain iu a
slab' of fear for hours watching tho strange
brute that seemed intent upon attacking
her. At daylight she started out again on
her hunt for home, anil alsiut 10 o'clock she
met a party out searching for her. Her
lmslinnd, supposing that she was spending
the night at a neighbor’s, was not alarmed
until next morning, when he learned she
had not been there, when a party was soon
raised to go in search of her.

j THE METHOD OF IGNATIUS
LEADS NYM CRINKLE TO DISCOVER
WHO WROTE BACON.
Mr. Donnelly Caught Concealing a
Cryptogram in “Ragnarok”-How
His Guilty Conscience Unburdened
Itself of the Authorship of “Beauti
ful Snow,” Which is Evidently the
Work of the Same Hand that Wrote
the “Novum Organum.”
New York, Sept. 17. —With regard
to my forthcoming treatise on the
authorship of Bacon’s works I only
desire to say in advance of the publication
of the book that I not only firmly believe
that Ignatius Donnelly wrote tho “Novum
Organum,” and the “Augmentis Scicutia
run,” but that I have discovered a crypto
gram which, to my mind, proves conclu
sively to the world that he desired to conceal
the fact for political reasons, and buried
tho secret of his authorship in “Itagua
rok.”
It may be well to recapitulate some of the
reasons that have influenced men previous
to my discovery to doubt the reputed author
ship of Bacon’s works.
In tho first place, the discrepancy be
tween the transcendent morality of the
thoughts put forward by the writer, and the
ineffable meanness of the man who is re
puted to have uttered them has never been
accounted for. We are asked tolielievothat
the profoundeat intellect was the shallowest
of ingrates; that tho largest amount of
spiritual insight could be applied to the
most ignoble trifles; that a mind which
could reach beyond the age and gr.asp tho
hidden truths of the future was capable of
truckling to a corrupt court and taking
bribes like a valet.
Any attempt to adjust Bacon’s literature
to Bacon’s conduct —with all deference to
Macaulay—ends in a profound conviction
that the man who pursuod his benefactor to
the block was not the same man who wrote
the “Novum Organum.” We do not ex
pect to find a Torquemada and a Pascal
m tlie same frame. We cannot, try as we
will, reconcile the almost preternatural and
certainly unprecedented acumen, wisdom
and subtlety of Bacon, tho writer, with tho
folly, stupidity and. obtuseness of Bacon, the
man.
IGNATIUS DONNELLY.
The two records present us with the amaz
ing problem of the greatest intellect and
the highest virtue performing the most
puerile acts and committing the most un
amiable crimes. There is not a record left
us of this master spirit having touched his
contemporaries anywhere with a master
virtue.
Such being the case, is it any wonder that
grave doubts have Lieeu thrown upon the
reputed authorship of the Baconian philoso
phy?
In taking up this matter in the interest of
mankind I propose to
1. Find a man whose character for sub
tlety and wisdom would agree with the
character that is induced by Bacons writ
ings.
3. I determined to find all the analo
gies or points of resemblance in tlie two
ideals.
.8. I then determined to discover, if possi
ble, a cryptogram which would explain the
true autnorsnip.
In pursuing this course of inquiry I fixed
upon Mr. Ignatius Donnelly as the man
whose conduct and whose utterances best fit
ted him to wear the mantle of inductive
philosophy.
I found that the author of the "Novum
Organum” was fond of making puzzles for
the sake of solving them.
He invented a system of secret writ
ing.
He wrote anew Atlantis.
He died from trying to stuff a capon with
snow.
These analogies convinced me that there
ought to lie a cryptogram concealed in Mr.
Donnelly’s writings.
I immediately proceeded to conceal it
there.
Now hero let me say a word with regard
to what may lie called the era of gold bug
literature in America I call it by that
name because Poe’s “Gold Bug” is its dawn
and Mr. Donnelly’s "Ragnorok’ its high
noon. These immortal works of induction
are constructed upon the philosophical plan
that you can find any hidden thing you want
if you are only the nider. and that to un
ravel any mystery it is only necessary that
you should he the author of it first.
Proceeding upon this just basis I soon ar
rived at startling conclusions.
I cannot here m justice to the publishers
of my book give you all the astnundiug re
sults of my discovery. It will lie sufficient
to mention in brief some of tlie methods
employed and some of the inductions in
duced.
I took up Mr. Donnelly’s “Ragnarok” and
liegan to study it carefully. 1 noticed at
once the unusual nuntber of footnotes. I
could not help feeling t hat they had an eso
teric purpose, for they arc forced in when
tlie context does not cull for them, and in
many cases do not satisfy the reader with
their explanations, i found tliat, the first
one had seven words in tlie first line and
eight in the next. The second footuoto had
eight and the third nine, the fourtli Imd ten
word* in the first line. Every second lino of
print hail eight words.
It may be seen thus:
12
2:::::::::::::;::::::::.::: 8
•l 9
O 8
Tliat this arithmetical progression of de
nominators was accidcfiUft was hardly credi
ble. After thinking m"r the mutter for
six months night and day, 1 one night
thought they might indicate pages in the
original folio of “Ragnarok.” Httt having
determined upon the consecutive png> s 7,8,
'J, 10, I was os at loss to know what to do
with them until after another month's hard
thinking; when it oecurrod to me to Multi
ply the nuinlier of wort is in the first line
with the muulier of words in the second
line, am! I determined to see if these totals

There was evidently no sense in this; at
least no revelation, and it was not until I
had spent another month in meditation that
it occurred to mo to try the fifth footnote.
I applied the same method to it. There were
eleven words in it. I multiplied it by eight.
The eighty-eighth word on the eleventh page

SOLVING A CRYPTOGRAM.
A flood of light burst upon me. I now
had a distinct sub-moaning conveyed to
me by the author which the millions who
had pondered over his book had never de
° “HOW IS THIS FOR HIGH.”
I saw or thought I saw that the key was
in my hand.
I gave the rest of the year to a clo*e study
of the remaining footnotes in the book. It
resulted in the discovery that the multi
plier was changed with each succeeding
group of five footnotes. Thus the next se
ries gave six as the multiplier, and with the
multiplicands the group stood thus:
Page, Total, Word,
0 36 Eye
7 43 am
8 48 the
9 54 author
10 60 of
It was thus necessary to go over to the
next group to complete the sentence. I
found the first word to bo Beau, the second
Tie. This gave me the discouraging result
of Beau tie. That is to say: “I am the
author of Beau Tie."
Utterly disheartened at the belief that
my theory had broken down, I wept, and
it was some time before I could persuade
myself to pursue the investigation any
further.
However, when I did so I was rewarded
for my pains. The third word was Fulls
and the fourth was Know. The sentence
then stood:
r 36 Eye
I 48 am
Second Series.. .f 48 the
I 54 Author
I 60 of
f 70 beau
Third series \ 80 tie
j9O fulls •
(.110 know
120
Could there any longer be a doubt in a ra
tional mind of the glorious discovery
“/am the authoi• of Beautiful Snow."
My excitement when this precious truth
burst upon me was not altayed until I re
membered that the sentence was completed
without any apparent use for the number
“130.” This set me to work again. I found
that the one hundred and twentieth
word was Beeswax. At first sight I confess
that it was difficult to see the relevancy or
significance of this. But by applying the
inductive “gold bug” system it began to
grow plain by degrees. Beeswax, I reflected,
was a sweet that was hidden away secretly
but much hunted for and is claimed by a
great many drones. It is deposited in out-of
the way places to be discovered long after,
and the authors are unknown. Beeswax
therefore, meant that this was a secret long
deposited but now found.
Nor must be forgotten that snow was the
cause of Bacon’s death. We have here snow
and beeswax in curious conjunction; that is
to say, the cause of one man’s death and
the cause of another man’s immortality
are placed; side by side. it is simply
preposterous to suppose that this is accci
dental.
I am not going to anticipate ray book by
showing here how I have proved by the in
ductive eryptograniic process. The author
of “Beautiful 8now” is the author of “The
Novtuu Organum.” The word “ flitch ” oc
curs six times in “Ragnarok.” “Flitch” of
what. The word capeon and snow are on
the same page.
I have only to say in reply to those un
imaginative critics who have not followed
the inductive procccs and who want to know
how a book can be celebrated before its au
thor was born, as would be the case with
Bacon’s work if Donnelly wrote it—that the
Tubingin school settled that long ago by
proving that several of the authoi-s of
the gospels died before their work was writ
ten.
And when you ask me why Donnelly
concealed the authorship in this way, I re
ply that, that is a part, of the inductive sys
tem. Nobody would have believed him if
he had claimed the authorship of “Beauti
ful Snow” in the usual way. This is an es
oteric age, and truth lies in a well.
