E. church. Mrs. Cora Britton, of Pocatello, was in the city a few days this week. The programme rendered at the sacred concert last Sunday night was very good. Mr. Arthur Steward left Monday night on the 5th inst., for New York City, N. Y. The watch meeting at the Trinity church was a spiritual meeting and well attended. Mr. Thomas Taylor, of Denver, Colorado, brother to Mr. W. W. Taylor, is in the city. Mrs. W. M. Robinson entertained at dinner Mrs. E. Smith and her mother and Mrs. Hollins and Miss Rollins. Miss Johnson, who has been stopping at Rev. McIntyre's on Second, South, left Thursday night for Philadelphia, Pa. Mrs. Mattie Stead has resigned her position with Professor Landom, and is preparing to take up her trade as masseuse and hair dresser. A quiet wedding took place at the Calvary Baptist church the 4th inst., Mr. Al Douglas and Miss Florence Seals were married, the bride being neatly attired in white organdy, which added much to her graceful appearance. Miss Meada Lindsey was bridesmaid and Mr. Arthur Steward the best man. Only a few of the immediate friends were present. Mrs. William Robinson entertained last week at luncheon. The guests of the afternoon were Miss Mattie Stead, Rev. B. F. McIntyre, Mrs. E. D. Washington, Mrs. P. H. Robinson, Mrs. J. W. Washington, Mrs. W. Stone and in the evening the guests were Mrs. W. H. Barker, Mrs. Lord Blanchard, Mrs. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Steele, Mr. Charley Seals, Mr. and Mrs. Stone. CROSSLAND GAINS TIME. Given Leave of Absence and Told to Resign—Leniency Extended at Request of Friends in Missouri Reports. After considering thoroughly all elements in the case, the state department has decided that instead of peremptorily recalling Dr. Crossland, minister to Liberia, it will grant him a leave of absence and order him to the United States. The leave will be granted with the distinct understanding that upon his arrival in this country he will immediately tender his resignation. It was stated in these dispatches several days ago that the department intended to recall or peremptorily remove him. This was the intention at that time. Since then Missourians who were interested in the affair called at the department of state and told the secretary that Crossland was without funds and his recall or dismissal while still in Africa would leave him stranded there without the means to reach the United States. While the department does not hesitate to say that there is no sympathy for Crossland, it was decided to be the part of wisdom to have him return to this country. The department officials did not relish the idea of a former representative of this country being stranded in the country to which he was formerly accredited. The orders for his return have been sent, and the leave which he has been given is two month's. Remaining in the pay of this government for two months longer will enable him to meet any obligations he has contracted while at Monrovia and secure passage to this country. The department has received an extended written explanation of the shooting incident in which Dr. Crossland severely wounded T. J. R. Faulkner. In this explanation Crossland claims he only fired in self-defense and did not fire until Faulkner assaulte him with a razor. The minister also says that the differences grew out of trouble over the lease of the building in which the legation is housed. The minister says that he first boarded at the house and then the lease for the building was transferred to him at the suggestion of Faulkner. The independent investigation conducted by the department does not entirely bear out the statement the minister has made. The officials learn, or are informed, from what is believed to be a reliable source, that the shooting was the direct outgrowth of attentions which were paid to Faulkner's wife by Crossland. The department has information that the secretary of the legation, Joseph R. Surgeon, is afraid of Crossland, and he states that Crossland terrorizes him by keeping a revolver on his desk at all times. The messenger of the legation tells a similar story. The officers of the department also say that complaints have been received from residents of the capital of Liberia, but the nature of these complaints are personal rather than of an official character., so the department does not wish to make them public. No action has been taken relative to George W. Elis, the Kansas City colored man who went to Liberia with Crossland and who was named for secretary of the legation. It is probable, however, that the nomination will be withdrawn immediately after the holidays. Isaac Hayes Given Tremendous Cheer. By standing Jack Monroe off for four rounds, the crowd goes into a fit of cheer for the colored champion in another round. Ike would have sent his man into the land of Nod. He showed to be much the stronger man at the finish of the fourth round. From all sides and corners could be heard encouraging words for Ike, and Ike did go after him like a hungry ox wolud a stack of hay. Monroe tried hard and faithful to put Ike out at the finish, but the colored champion was fighting like a demon and sent Munroe to his knees several times. In fact, Ike scored the most points, considering that Munroe is much the younger man and has at least thirty pounds the best in weight. Munroe showed plenty of nerve and seemed to have a cake walk in the second round, but Ike gained courage from the many yells of go to him, Ike, and got down to business and came out within a whisker of putting the coming world's champion. Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 7. Mrs. N. A. Yancy comes into immortality. She lived in Milwaukee and was beloved by many friends, who mourn her untimely departure. This sad news was received by Mrs. Nelson last Wednesday. The surviving members of the family are six daughters, who are Mrs. A. Nelson, of this city, Mrs. B. J. Fuller, of Fairfield, Iowa, Mrs. Lula Brown, of Wattumwa, Iowa, Mrs. Ida M. Clair of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Mrs. Clara B. Polindexer, of Milwaukee. Altho' Mrs. Yancy had been in a feeble condition for a long time, yet her sudden demise came as a great shock to the family. Our sympathy goes out to the remaining members of the family, and especially to those who live among us and cannot be present to pay the last sad rites to their departed mother. She had reached the declining years and in a few months would have witnessed her 71st birthday. While sadness and bereavement has clouded the homes of those who mourn departure, we trust that they will find consolation in those words. "Why should we mourn departed friends, or shake at death alarm, 'tis but the voice that Jesus sends to call us to his arms." Mrs. C. P. Smith Entertained. Mrs. C. P. Smith entertained at a dinner last Sunday, consisting of five courses, with wine. Mrs. Smith entertained a few friends, who were Mr. and Mrs. R. Lawrence and Mr. Charles F. Smith. The table was elaborately decorated with fancy chinaware, and the menu consisted of the very best the market affords. NOTICE.

THE AGME CLUB L. A. BELL - - Pres. and Treas C. M. WATTS - - Sec'y and Mgr WORLD'S NEWS SUMMARY CULLED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. A Review of Happenings in Both Eastern and Western Hemispheres During the Past Week—National Historical, Political and Personal Events Tersely Expounded. A large audience welcomed the reappearance of Sousa and his band in London recently. President Roosevelt's New Year's reception was one of the most brilliant events in Washington's society history. A special from Ottawa says: Frederick T. Congdon, crown prosecutor for the Yukon Territory, will succeed J. H. Ross as governor. The year 1902 will probably pass into history as the culminating period of an era of unexamplied prosperity in all branches of American industry. It seems to be beyond question, cables a Johannesburg correspondent, that large and enormously rich diamond fields exist north of Pretoria. J. C. Lowe, a teacher in the Kansas Industrial School for Boys, has been found guilty of killing his wife. Murder in the second degree was the verdict returned by the jury. The statement of the coinage executed at the mints of the United States during the calendar year 1902 shows a total of 79,455,815, as follows: Gold, $47,109,852; silver, $29,929,167; minor coins, $2,447,796. "The wages paid now in the United States are higher than ever before in the history of the country." That is the statement made today by Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright, the world's recognized authority on this and kindred subjects. Abandoned workings of the Eddy creek colliery of the Delaware & Hudson company, beneath the very heart of the town of Oliphant, Pa., caved in recently, and engulfed four frame buildings covering aggregate ground space of 6000 square feet. The signatories of the Chinese peace protocol, except the American, have consulted their respective governments and practically have decided to identically notify China that her failure to fulfill the obligations provided for by the protocol will entail grave consequences. A tank containing 1000 barrels of naphtha exploded from some unknown cause recently at Point Richmond, Cal., causing $20,000 damage. The explosion was heard for miles, and windows for some distance were shattered. The roof of the tank was hurled 300 feet and the oil caught fire. The tank and contents belonged to the Standard Oil company. About 500 revolutionists are reported to be marching on Caracas. The anthracite coal strike commission has resumed its hearings. Brigadier General Henry G. Hasbrouck, recently promoted, has been retired. Prince Pao Lun, the emperor's nephew, has been appointed Chinese delegate to the St. Louis fair. The New York Mail and Express, which has heretofore sold for 2 cents, has appeared as a 1 cent paper. Benny Yanger of Chicago won a decision over Tim Callahan of Philadelphia in a six round contest recently. It is believed that Monsignor O'Connell, bishop of Portland, Me., will be appointed rector of the Catholic university at Washington. A miner named Fred Turton met almost instaxt death recently in the Anbok Hill mine in the Phoenix, B. C., camp. The total exports from Germany through the American consulates to the United States during the year 1902 amounted to $114,495,502, an increase of $14,878,770 over the preceding year. Thomas Masbee, aged 30 years, met a violent death recently at the Mammoth mine near Wallace, Idaho. He fell down a timber side, striking on his head 80 feet below. In a letter to the navy department Rear Admiral Evans, commander in chief, of the Asiatic station, calls attention to the crying need of officers for the ships on his station and urges the navy department to come to his assistance as soon as possible. The total production of gold last year in the United States was $80,853,070, an increase for the year of $2,186,370. The production of silver amounted to $31,040,025, a net increase of $3,352,084. A grand jury, the first in King county, Washington, for seven years, has been impaneled by Judge Bell of the superior court, to investigate the alleged corruption of the police department and other city officials. Loaves of Bread Smaller: Mexico City.-The recent advance in the price of wheat caused bakers here to diminish the size of their loaves while still charging the same price, and this has worked a hardship on the poorer class. Lieutenant Perkins Missing Leavenworth, Kan.-Lieutenant Perkins, Fourth cavalry, stationed at Ft Leavenworth, prominent in army and social circles, left the post recently with four days' leave of absence and has not been heard of since Killed Elephant Topsy. New York.—At Coney Island recently several hundred spectators witnessed the execution by electricity of "Topsy," an elephant who had killed three men and had recently become unmanagcable. ALL ABLAZE WITH JEWELS. Magnificent Costumes at Delhi Evening Function. Delhi, India, Jan. 5.—The chapter of Indian orders held last night was one of the most brilliant functions following the durbar. It was attended by Lord Curzon of Keddleston, viceroy of India, and Lady Curzon; the dukes of Connaught, representative of King Edward, and the duchess of Connaught, and scores of native princes. Among the brilliant assemblage were nearly 300 members of the Order of the Star of India and many mahara jahs. About 40 Americans were present. These included Mrs. Adair, Mrs. L. Z. Leiter (mother of Lady Curzon), and Miss Daisy Leiter, Henry Phipps and family of Pittsburg; P. Getty of Chicago, and Miss Getty and Consul General Patterson of Calcutta, and his family. The hall was aglow with hundreds of electric lights. The silken garments and uniforms of the orientals blazing with jewels made the scene a most brilliant one. Lady Curzon and duchess of Cannaught walked up the hall together, both attired in dresses of white and silver and wearing diamond coronets. They took their seats behind the golden thrones occupied by the viceroy and the duke. During the ceremony of investure the bands rendered music from the balcony. When the herald and trumpeters announced the beginning of the function, a red silken curtain at the foot of the hall was drawn aside and the grand procession through the building began. The sight was an impressive one. SAGASTA IS DEAD Was Former Liberal Premier of Spain. Madrid.—Former Premier Praxedes Mateo Sagasta is dead, in his 76th year. At half past 6 he had an attack of heart failure and it was then thought he was dead. He rallied, however, and lived for four and a half hours. Senor Sagasta's death was due to bronchitis and gastric trouble. His family was at the deathbed and former liberal members of the cabinet were near their old leader. Senor Sagasta's intellect was unimpaired until his last hours. The news of the former premier's death created a painful impression throughout Madrid. The Pub...c Debt. Washington.—The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business on December 31, 1902, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $947,164,679, a decrease for the month of $10,932,604, which is largely accounted for by an increase of nearly $10,000,000 in the amount of cash on hand. The debt is recapitulated as follows: interest bearing debt, $914,541,240; debt bearing no interest, $395,777,109; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $1,225,710; total, $1,311,574,059. This amount, however, does not include $676,574,069 in certificates and treasury notes outstanding, which are offset by an equal amount of cash on hand for their redemption. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold reserve; $150,000,000; trust funds, $876,574,069; general fund, $154,290,532; in national bank deposits, $150,216,598; total, $1,331,081,200; against which there are demand liabilities outstanding amounting to $966,671,820, which leaves a cash balance on hand of $364,409,360. The monthly circulation statement issued by the comptroller of the currency shows at the close of the calendar year the total circulation of national bank notes was $384,929,784, an increase for the year of $24,640,058 and increase for the month of $75,270. The circulation, based on United States bonds, amounted to $342,127,844, an increase for the year of $17,118,538, and an increase for the month of $1,027,435. The circulation secured by lawful money amounts to $42,801,904, an increase for the year of $7,521,520, and a decrease for the month of $52,163. The amount of United States registered bonds on deposit to secure circulation notes was $34,253,120 and to secure public deposits $158,384,070. Stole Convicta' Money. New York.—Two and a half years at hard labor in Sing Sing has been the sentence imposed upon Graham C. Voorhis, formerly in charge of a postoffice substation here. Voorhis pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with embezzlement of United States mail. Most of the complaints of missing letters came from Tombs prison, in which cases letters sent to prisoners by friends which contained money were lost. Crown Prince May Come. Berlin.—Emperor William is sending Crown Prince Frederick William to Russia as an educational experience. He probably will be present at the magnificent New Year's court functions January 14. As the crown prince has visited England and Austria, it is not altogether improbable that he may visit the United States in 1904. Chinese Minister to Marry. Pekin.—Sir Liang Cheng, minister, designated to the United States, will marry the daughter of the Chinese minister at Paris, Yu Keng, before leaving for Washington. A $750,000 sugar factory is to be erected near Manzanillo, Cuba. THE BARK PRINCE ARTHUR WENT DOWN. All But Two of the Crew Went Down —The Disaster Occurred on the Rocky Coast South of Cape Flat tery—The Arthur Was Built of Iron and Was Bound for B. C. to Load. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 8.—A special from Port Townsend, Wash., says: News of the wreck of the Norwegian bark Prince Arthur has been received. The Prince Arthur was bound from vaiparaiso for British Columbia to load lumber. On the night of January 2 the vessel ran into breakers and was soon hard and fast on the rocky shore. The scene of the disaster is about two miles south of Ozette, on the Washington coast, 15 miles from cape Flattery. This is practically the position in which the German bark Flotebok was rescued by tugs in the winter of 1900. As the Umatilla, the lightship lies about 35 miles off shore from Ozette, it is believed the master mistook the lightship for Tatoosh island and sailed eastward, believing that he was entering the straights instead of running blindly to his fate. Of the 20 members of the Prince Arthur's crew only two were saved, and they were nearly exhausted when they washed ashore. The bodies of 18 drowned seamen are being buried by ranchers and Indians living near the scene of the disaster as they come ashore. Although Ozette is but 13 miles from Neah Bay, news of the wreck was received by way of East Clallam, having been brought out by mail carrier over a 25 mile trail. Owing to the inaccessible location of Ozette, only meager details are obtainable. The Prince Arthur was an iron bark of 1598 tons net, built at Birkenhead in 1869. She was formerly called the Houghtonhead. LATE NEWS ITEMS South Dakota was recently visited by a nerce blizzard. A furious blizzard raged in Des Moines, Iowa, recently. It is stated by a railroad official high in railroad circles that the request of the committee of trainmen of western systems for an increase in wages of 20 per cent has been decisively refused by all the roads in St. Louis. Andrew Carnegie has offered Philadelphia a million and a half dollars toward the extension of its free library system. This sum is to be applied only to the erection of 30 buildings, which are to be used as branches of the main library. The will of Colonel McCalmont of London, who died on December 8, leaves his estate, valued at $10,000,000, to his children. Nothing is left to charity or public uses. "Lazy Coon," a well known Nez Perce Indian, was drowned in Clearwater river recently, the body being recovered and taken to Culdesac for burial. The report of the Philippine commission for the last fiscal year says that from the time of the first appearance of cholera in Malolos to September 1, 1902, the total number of recorded cases was 52,526, of which 37,473 resulted fatally, the mortality being 71 per cent. The directors of the United States Steel corporation have declared the regular quarterly dividend of one per cent on the common and 1 3-4 per cent on the preferred stock. A financial statement was issued showing net earnings for the calendar year, with December estimated, of $132,662,000. William H. Bradley, a well known multimillionaire of Milwaukee, was married recently to Miss Marie Hannemyer. Mr. Bradley is 65 years of age and has been in failing health for several weeks. The ceremony was performed while the groom was sitting up in a chair. His wife had died in November. Elsie McMann, living near Northport, Wash., was run over by a sleigh recently and fatally injured. The little girl attempted to alight as they were passing the school, when she slipped and fell between the runners, one of which passed diagonally across her body, inflicting severe internal injuries and breaking one of her legs. The child died this evening at 6 o'clock from internal hemorrhage. The state ball in the palace of the grand mogul at Delhi, India, proved to be one of the most attractive features of the durbar festivities. The Europeans dancing among the columns and pillars of the palace was a strange and wonderful sight. Lady Curzon, American wife of the viceroy, was gowned in gold brocade, and wore a tiara of diamonds and rubies once the property of a king. Robber Suspect Arrested. Anaconda, Mont., Jan. 6.—At an early hour Monday morning the police arrested Joseph Smith, who is suspected of being the man who held up the Northern Pacific train at Bearmouth on October 23 and killed Engineer Dan O'Nell, and for whom the railroad officials have been looking ever since. Smith answers the description of the highwayman, but denies that he had anything to do with the affair. He says he is not sure as to where he was at the time of the holdup, but is sure he was many miles from Bearmouth. Take the conceit out of some people and there isn't much left. MONTANA ITEMS. A bar association has been organized in Missoula. Edward W. Knight, who had lived in Helena since boyhood, died recently. Medium Montana wool is selling for 20 cents in the grease on the Boston market. The state auditor has issued warrants for bounty claims to the amount of $110,000. The report of the death of Phil Shennon will be heard with regret by many Montana friends. The State Association of County Assessors will open its annual session at Helena on January 15. Operators employed by the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company in Butte, have formed a union. The Great Falls & Canada railroad has gone out of existence, being formally transferred to the Great Northern. The store card agreement between the business men of Helena and the Retail Clerks' local No.684, has gone into effect. The supreme court has granted a new trial in the case of Thomas Tighe, who was convicted in Broadwater county for the murder of Paul Kock.

The value of the beef output in Montana during the past year was in excess of $10,000,000 and during that same time more than 160,000 head of cattle were shipped out of the state The number of horses shipped out of the state during 1902 is given by the report as nearly 60,000. One Day's Death Record. Chicago.—James M. Pytt, aged 66 one of Chicago's pioneer builders and iron manufacturers, died of pneumonia. New York.—Brigadier General Ell Long of Plainfield, N. J., died here. He served in the civil war and was twice brevetted for gallantry. Lexington, Mass.—Rev. Phineas C. Hedley, well known as a clergyman and historical writer, died at his home, aged 82 years. He was the father of Chaplain Hedley, U. S. A. New York.—Walter Haynes Brainrd, a member of the produce exchange and the firm of Brainard Brothers, is dead at Minturn hospital from pneumonia and diphtheria. Rome.—Tersita, the daughter of Garibaldi and wife of General Canzlo, the Italian patriot, died suddenly at Caprera. She accompanied Garibaldi in all his campaigns. Mrs. Tingley's Defense San Diego, Cal.-Mrs. Catherine A. Tingley was placed upon the stand as her own witness in rebutting the testimony of the defendant in the trial of her action for libel against the Los Angeles Times. All of the principal charges made against her and the Point Loma institution of which she is the official head were read to her and she denied them ad seriatim. She made a cool, deliberate witness and occupied the stand most of the afternoon. She had a ready explanation for such of the charges and inferences that she did not repudiate. She stated with much emphasis that she had not withheld food from children, but, on the other hand, said it was one of her theories of infant rearing that the infant should be fed every half hour. She flatly denied the testimony alleging she had stated that life upon Point Loma would evolve a state which would make the marriage relation unnecessary. Mance Lewis Shot Seattle, Wash.—Mance F. Lewis, one of the best known sports on the coast, was shot and killed about 3:30 o'clock in his bed at 523 Yesler way. A bullet from a revolver passed through his right hand, then through his mouth and into his brain. A second shot was fired, but did not take effect. So far as known Lewis made no statement. Mrs. Lewis and her brother, George Piggott, who were in the apartments at the time of the shooting, are held by the police. Coroner Hoye says that Lewis was murdered. Booker Washington Spoke Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 5.—Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee Industrial institute of Alabama, spoke twice Sunday to enormous crowds. In the First Congregational church in this city the throng of people anxious to hear him was so great that it was necessary to barricade the side entrance to the church and place policemen at all doors. Political Fight in Colorado Denver, Col.-The senatorial situation in Colorado is becoming decidedly complicated and should present declared plans be carried out, the contest over the selection of a successor to Senator Henry M. Teller, which will begin in earnest with the convening of the legislature on Wednesday next, will be, to say the least, exciting and more than likely spectacular. Gave Birth to Four Toledo, Ohio—Rivals of the famous Ormsby quartet were born in Toledo and Mrs. Stanislus Spychalsky is the mother of the infants. The mother and her quartet are doing well and are strong. In political life the ex follows the ax MANY OF THE MINES IN THE NORTHWEST PROGRESSING. Items of Interest of a Miscellaneous Nature Gathered During the Past Week—New Districts Brought to the Front—Many Mining Accidents and Personals. Four miners were probably fatally injured and a number of others badly burned and cut by falling coal in an explosion of mine dust in the Chicago mine at Auburn, Ill., recently. Three hundred and fifty men were in the mine at the time, but all except 14 or 15, who were caught in the entry, 2000 feet from the surface, succeeded in reaching the surface. The seriously injured are: Samuel Rucker, Roy Rucker, Edward Rucker and an unidentified man. The explosion is said to have been caused by a shot. BRITISH COLUMBIA. During last week the Granby smelter treated 10,115 tons of ore. The total treated to date is 597,121 tons. Grand Forks advices state that an eastern syndicate. comprised of Toronto capitalists has acquired a large interest in the British Columbia Coal company, limited, owners of North Fork coal fields. Montana The large dredging plants operating in Alder Gulch, Madison county, are still at work producing gold from this famous old gold channel. The mining industry in Fergus county is in a far more prosperous condition than it has ever heretofore been and the prospects for the future are of encouraging character. A new strike of rich copper ore has been made in the old Lexington mine, an old silver property at Butte. A big body has been found that runs 40 per cent copper. Franklin Farrel has taken up his option on the McQueen placer, a porti n of the large tract of ground he recently acquired in the new copper district of Butte. It is understood that he paid about $500,000, and his new corporation, the Pittsburg Mining company, will build a smelter on the ground. The Miner creek and Ajax mines, although separated by mountain peaks, are only about three miles apart and the lay of the rich croppings show that they are in the same highly mineralized district—a district that will one day prove to rival in wealth the richest districts in the northwest. The Conrads, of Great Falls, have secured control of about 600 acres of valuable coal lands at Belt, Mont., adjoining the properties of the Anaconda company. The consideration is said to be about $25,000. Mr. Conrad will operate the mines, which will furnish employment to several hundred men. The gold production of Cripple Creek district, six miles square, in 1902, is estimated at $24,508.311. The production of the Leadville field (Colo.) show a total valuation of the product for 1902 is $0,468,544. The rush for claims in the Unita (Wyo.) oil fields continues. So far as known there has been no bloodshed, but numerous shots have been exchanged. It is reasonable to expect that the Coeur d'Alene district will be able to maintain its present, and perhaps an increased, output for many years to come. A well defined movement is under way among brokers for the reopening of the Spokane mining exchange. Of the 30 members of the exchange 14 have signed a petition. The Standard Mining company, operating at Wallace, Idaho, has ordered the latest improved electric pumps. The machinery will be working May 1. The estimated cost is $20,000. James Huntchinson, formerly manager of the Trade Dollar mines at Silver City, Idaho, died recently, having been stricken with apoplexy. Mr. Hutchinson was sixty-five years of age. Since the rich body of ore has been uncovered in the Cracker-Oregon mine at Bourne, Oregon there has been active development work in other nearby properties. A large body of ore is being blocked out in the Golconda mine since the recent strikes. The Bryan & Sewall company's property, situated on Copper hill, over a mile west of Republic, was jumped New Year's morning by a party of men under circumstances that may create no little sensation. John Dawson, an aged miner, was blown to atoms at the King & Queen mine in the Coeur d'Alene district while thawing dynamite recently. Dawson had gone from the shaft to thaw several sticks and in a few minutes his companions heard the explosion. Coming to the surface they found the cabin a wreck and Dawson, dismembered, many feet away. At Buffalo Hump, Idaho, the Jumbo Mining company has struck the ledge in the lower tunnel and has driven 180 feet on the ledge. It has a full face of very rich ore about 10 feet wide that averages $10. It is still 400 feet to run to reach a point under the rich payshoot in the upper tunnel. From all accounts Kettle River Wn. is to have a smelter next year and James Breen is to be the man to erect it. This statement is made by E. C. Wood of Boston, a consulting engineer for a number of Companies, operating in western states. Hope deferred gives the letter carrier importance.

CONSUMPTION SENATOR LODGE WOULD SUSPEND DUTY FOR 90 DAYS. Bill Was Introduced at Opening of the Senate After the Holidays—Coal Is Scarce and Factories May Have to Close Down—Other Resolutions—Hearst Petition Is Up. Washington.—When the senate reconvened Monday, after the holiday recess, a few senators were absent. Almost immediately a discussion began regarding the coal situation. Senator Lodge announced his introduction of a bill suspending for 90 days the duty on coal with a statement that in New England there was much distress owing to the scarcity of coal. In introducing a bill to suspend the duty on coal, Senator Lodge said he was aware that such a measure must originate in the house, but he desired to call the attention of the finance committee to existing conditions. In his section there was great suffering for lack of fuel, and many factories might be forced to shut down. The duty of 67 cents on anthracite coal, he said, could be removed for 90 days without injury to the coal producers of the country. Senator Culbertson followed with a resolution providing for the removal of duty on anthracite coal, and asking its immediate consideration. Senator Platt of Connecticut objected, saying it was his understanding that there was no duty on anthracite coal. Senator Vest took exception to this statement, and said that the board of general appraisers and President Roosevelt had decided that such a duty is imposed. Senator Vest also introduced a resolution on the subject. The resolution referring to the petition of W. R. Hurst, charging the existence of illegal combination or conspiracy among certain railroads in the shipment of anthracite coal and calling for the evidence accumulated by the attorney general, which was introduced by Senator Jones of Arkansas before the holiday adjournment, was called up and discussed by Messrs. Lodge, McComas, Spooner, Hoar, Foraker and Cullom, republicans, and Messrs. Jones of Arkansas, Tillman and Bacon, democrats. The republican senators contended that if the attorney general was prosecuting the case the senate ought not to interfere in the matter by calling for the evidence. Senator Jones maintained that the senate had a right to all the evidence in the possession of the attorney general. The resolution had not been disposed of when, at 2 o'clock, the omnibus statehood bill was taken up. In the absence of Senator Quay, Senator Foraker had charge of the bill. Senator Nelson of Minnesota addressed the senate against the bill, and in favor of a single state composed of Oklahoma and Indian territory. RECONCILIATION POSSIBLE. Between Crown Princess of Saxony and Her Husband. Vienna, Jan. 5.—Reports have been received here from sources closely connected with the court of Saxony of a possible reconciliation between the crown princess of Saxony and her husband. The family of the crown prince are especially concerned with the future of the princess' unborn child, desiring its birth to occur under conditions permitting of proper identification and to prevent possible substitution, which, it is supposed the princess might attempt if the crown princess' family attempted to claim the child. The crown prince is reported as even now unwilling to abandon the belief that the unborn child may be his own. While King George angrily insists that his son's faithless wife be cast adrift, it is understood that the crown prince places no obstacles in the way of a reconciliation should his wife be willing to come back. It is naturally to be understood, according to report, that it is impossible to permit the princess to return to Saxony and become queen, but the suggestion is made that she reside in retirement near the frontier, where she could see her children occasionally. No effort will be made to negotiate with M. Giron, who is regarded as a raw student, but it is thought that the princess might be induced to accept the foregoing proposals on account of her love for her children. Financial Panic at Caracas. Willemstad, island of Curacao. There was a financial panic at Caracas recently. A large number of small traders and private depositors went together to the office of the Bank of Venezuela for the purpose of exchanging their bank notes for silver. The bank refused to change more than $2 worth of notes for any one person, and at 4 o'clock closed the doors. The panic continues. Bills issued by the bank are now selling for $8 per cent of their face value. The leading firms at Caracas, notwithstanding the present situation, have not presented notes for redemption, as they are interested in supporting the bank. Stage Held Up.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable drummers at fifty cents per bottle. Please L. H. MOTT FIRED FOUR BULLETS INTO HIS WIFE. She Died Six Hours later—He Had Been Drinking Heavily—They Quarreled and While She Was Retreating He Took Deliberate Aim and Fired—They Had Run a Laundry. Missoula, Mont.—Jan. 5.—Crazed by liquor, drugs and business difficulties, the last of which he imagined his victim was a factor in producing, L. H. Mott, until a fortnight ago proprietor of the Troy laundry in this city, shot his wife. Death came six hours later. Four bullets from a revolver were imbedded in her body. Three of the bullets are in the small of the back. A five chambered weapon was emptied at the victim as she fled down stairs to escape impending trouble. The shooter surrendered to the police. Trouble in the family had been anticipated by persons familiar with the circumstances for several days. Directly prior to the shooting Mott had been exceedingly quarrelsome and threatening in conversation with his wife. Wife Had Sold Laundry. December 20, while her husband was in North Dakota, Mrs. Mott disposed of their laundry plant to Jones Bros., who came from Spokane. Her assigned reason was that her husband had so neglected his business because of dissipation that it had grown unprofitable and was too heavily encumbered with debts to be made a successful venture. The property was in her name. On returning home Mott was much enraged over the sale. To a correspondent he said he would have his property back or some one would dearly pay for his humiliation. His talk was considered almess and boastful—a natural condition with the man. Mrs. Mott left the room and her husband after an hour's quarrel. Took Deliberate Aim. He stepped through another room and, reaching the top of the stairs she was descending, raised the revolver to a level with his face, emptying five chambers before ceasing firing.

He walked along with the officers without objection. He was plainly under the influence of liquor and greeted acquaintances with a smile. Two years ago Mott went to Spokane, where he remained a year as operator of a laundry. He returned to Missoula and reopened business, which has declined in prosperity for several months.

(epee EIGHTEEN MEN DROWN WRECK OF NORWEGIAN BARK PRINCE ARTHUR ON THE PACIFIC COAST. TWO OF THE CREW ESCAPE Vessel Ran Into Breakers and Was Soon Hard and Fast on the Rocky Shore Near Ozette, Wash—Believed the Ship Mistook the Umatilla Light for Tatoosh Island and Sailed Blind- ly to Her Fate.

Of the twenty members of the Prince Arthur's crew only two were saved and they were nearly exhausted when they were washed ashore. The bodies of eighteen drowned seamen are being buried by ranchers and Indians living near the scene of the disaster as they come ashore.
