Deen arrested on the charge OF POISONING
her husband. Her husband, who had been
ailing for some days, died rather suddenly,
and the body was recently buried over in
Chippewa county. It was afterwards ex-
| humed and large quantities OF quicksilver
| were found. It was further learned that
she had purchased a quantity OF the drug
| OF c. H. Mare, druggist, the day after she
got the arsenic at j ohnsons. Mrs. Purvis
was remanded to jail until Aug. 3 to await
the result OF an analysis Of the contents OF
the stomach, which will be made at the
state university.
Testimony is being taken in the United
| States district court room, at the govern
ment building, St. Paul, by E. NJ. Watson,
representing the department OF justice OF the
| United States, and G. F. Iarrabee, repre-
senting the interior department, relative to
the claims OF the traders who furnished sup
plies and provisions to the Sioux in Mime,
sofa prior to the outbreak OF 1862, for the
payment OF which congress appropriated
| 100000 at its last session. The claims
| foot up $142, 900, the claimants being
Nathan Mylick, St. Paul, $4,000; Ulalie
Perkins, assignee OF Louis Robert $21, 900
Alexander L. Faribault 100000; Amanda
B. Forbes, widow OF the late Henry Forbes
$4,000; I. and G. M. DAILY, assignees for B
f. Pratt, $4,000
!. During the storm Wednesday, at Moor
head, the lightning struck the chimney O.
the Grand Pacific hotel, cutting hole ir
the roof letting down the brick and mortar
into q sleeping-room. Two persons were
very badly but not seriously injured. Tht
Moorhead foundry was also struck anc
damaged to the extent Of SO, 900. At Far
60 the electric light tower was thrown
4 down. At Detroit, Mimi, every windmill
in the town-and there were quite mum
i ber-was blown down and broken. Tn
total damages in Detroit, as estimatet
i above, aggregate $1O,25O, aud probabl,
a $4,000 would not cover the damages ia
fioted by wind, hail and rain in petro,
q aloae.

The large audience in the Opera
House last night evidenced that inter.
est had not abated in the least in refer
enced to the La Chocolataire May festi
val and tableaux by the Young Peoples
League OF Grace M. f. Church. The
Philharmonic Orchestra enlivened the
occasion with delightful strains of mu.

The entertainment was opened with
an exhibition of several fine tableaux
amongst which were The Gypsies
Camp" followed in turn by !" The
Garden Party" Under the Elms. u
"Spring," William TELL" the scene
from the story of Miles Standish and
one from Longfel.ow's Evangeline "
Then followed the grand drill OF
forty eight young ladies' dressed in
/ pink and blue in equal numbers,
marshaled by that strict military
|disciplinarian Col. Curtis.
Every movement ON the part of the
young ladies was greeted with raptu
rous applause. Their evolutions sho " ed
that 30 far as marching and going
through the brea l-pan manual at least
they were perfect soldiers. After the
march, the space was speedily filled
with chairs and tables, surrounded with
ladies and gentlemen, who enjoyed the
refreshments provided for the occas on.
La Chocolataife has been a grand sue
cess i'll every respect and reflects the
greatest credit upon the young ladies

CAPITAL

Never 10 years has there been as much
idle capital as at present, and we predict
that before the season closes it will turn
to mining. This is all we need to bring
us out. Owners Of mines do not, as .
rule, exert themselves to develop q
country, and individual effort, in most
cases, unless literally supported by cap
ital, is powerless to open up mines ex.
tensively. Unless discoveries are nm
usually large and valuable the product
falls short of the cost. Unless shafts
are sunk sufficiently deep little or no
drifting can be done, and consequently
no profits can be realized. When deep
shafts have been sunk primitive sppli-
ances are unavailable, and steam and
other powerful machinery must be pro-
vided. Penniless men canno supply
these requisites, and unless capital steps
in work must of necessity be abandoned,
no matter how promising the prospects.
Every mining district exhibits num-
bers of valuable lodes lying idle and I'M
productive, awaiting those who have
money to make them profitable. This is
the reason why so many mines and pros.
poets are offered for sale. The system OF
leasing shafts and tunnels temporarily
abandoned is bringing new producers
into the market annually. For example:
A company of two or three practical
miners, tired of working for wages, hav.
ing examined certain prospects and
believing that a small amount of work
will put them in pay. get a few drills,
some powder and fuse and begin. In
many cases their hopes are realized, and
in each case a new mine offers its ore for
sale. Very much of the development &C.
~complished the past few years is attribut-
able to this cause. Again little syndicates
of local capitalists are employing miners
to open new mines. There is no great
hazard in these undertakings. The cost
is light, and if pay is found the rewards
are great. 1t is upon these and similar
means the State is dependent for q con.
stantly increasing supply of mines for
production or sale. 1t is a c~ommendable
enterprise, for nothing is more profitable.
As the demand for good mines will con-
tinue henceforth, miners will always
have all they car do to keep up the sup
