About Pearline.
Every one knows about Pearline, almost
every one uses Pearline, but we wonder if
the housekeepeps who use it know half that
can be done with it. Wewonder If they all
know what some Of the bright ones have
discovered, that those mountains Of dish
washing-the greasy pan and kettle-may
be reduced to mole hills of the smallest size
by the iudicious use of Pearline. Fill the
roasting pan. as soon as the gravy is poured
from il, with cold water. shake in a little
Pearline and set on the stove BY the time
the rest Of the dishes are washed, all the
grease is dissolved and the pan can be
washed as easily as plate. Treat the ket-
tie in which anything greasy has been
boiled in the same way, and besides clean
utensils you will have clean sink, the use
of Pearline rendering it safe TO pour such
dishwater into il. Sinks regularly treated

New Kind of Seal Hunting.

KANSAS CRY, Mo. July Frank
Terry, Wells, Fargo & Co. express mes
senger, his helper and a baggAgeman, had
thrilling experience on Santa Fc train
near Argentine yesterday with a man.
moth seal which with three others had
been shipped from san Francisco to New
YORK
There were two rair OF the seal and thew
had been brought down from the seal is
lands in the Pacific for the owner Of
geological garden in New York Tho an
finals were taken from the ship where they
had been in water and shipped in three
large wooden cages, well constructed and
strongly bound by hemp ropes to doubly
insure against the possibility of them
breaking out
The intense heat and absence Of water
proved disastrous for three Of them The
first one Of the seals 10 die was a female at
Denver. On the train between that point
and Kansas City one of the males went
mad and attacked his mate, killing her
almost instantly by biting her head nearly
of. He raved for several hours. and the
express messenger and other occupants Of
the car were considerably frightened lest
he break the strong cage and escape.
The animal finally quieted down and
gave the messenger no further trouble IN
til Argentine was reached. Then the seal
became furious, and raising himself on
his forward fins, used his tail with such
force that he broke the cage into pieces in
less time than it takes to tell it, and then
bowling and shrieking, made an attack on
Express Messenger Terry. He jumped on
a large pile of express matter but was
quickly driven from that position. The
men at last made their escape through the
side door Of the car and closed 1t behind
them.
The seal ragged for about five minutes
and then dropped down dead. The carcass,
weighing sis pounds, was taken to Ar,
mour's packing house and skinned.
The remaining seal was carefully water
ed here this morning and shipped on to
New York.

Wind in Dakota.

A dispatch from Fargo says that on
the 7th, that city was visited by the sever
est wind storm which it has ever
known. 1t began at $50 o'clock and con-
tinued about half an hour. Earlier in the
night there were indications OF rain. and
about midnight it began to thunder ana
tighten, and but few anticipated ser
ious storm. The wind began to blow from
the south, but suddenly shifted TO the
northwest, and in very short time was
blowing hurricane.
y large number of houses were demol =
ished and business blocks were uuroofed-
The three electric light towers were soon
blown down, leaving the city in darkness
that was relieved only by vivid flashes oil
lightning The frightened inhabitants
were aroused from their sleep, and lights
were shining from the windows all over
the city. Outside there was nothing but
darkness and tempest and nothing could
be heard but the wind and the crashing OF
flying debris. BY 4 o'clock the people
were flying in every direction to ascertain
the amount Of damage done.
Some appalling discoveries were soon
made, the saddest being the death of seven
children OF the late Captain James McCar-
thy, who died only few weeks ago. The
children were at home with their mother
and sought safety in the coal bin, where
they were all crushed 10 death. The
mother was also seriously injured, but it
is thought that she will recover Then
the through west-bound passenger train,
being stopped by the fierce wind in the
western part Of the city, was blown from
the track and every one of the twelve cars
was turned over. Many Of the passen-
gers We're severely, but not dangerously
wounded. Their injuries consisted merely
Of cuts and bruises. The Northern Pacific
repair and machine shops were damaged
S3O, 600 worth. The freight depot OF the
Great Northern and Milwaukee roads
were demolished. Several churches were
badly wrecked and numerous other build
ings were more or less damaged. The
total damage in the city is estimated at
aoou $500

THE CROSS MURDER TRIAL.
a Number of the Defendants Have
Been Convicted.

PARIS, Texas, July S.-The agony
in the famous Cross case is over at last, so
far as some who participated in that awful
affair are concerned This morning the
jurors came into the court room and an
nounced that they had arrived at a YER
dict. There was a moment of suspense
The defendants were at the bar. The fore
man handed the Judge the verdict, which
he passed to the clerk, who read;
1--WE, the jury, would respectfully repre-
sent to your honorable court that we find
c. f. Cook, o. ]. Cook, j. b. Chamber
lain, Cyrus Freese, J Lawrence and John
G. jackson guilty of murder as charged in
the Indictment We find VIM. O'Connor
A NJ. Donald, Smith Grabbs, j, W. Cal
vert and John A. Rutler not guilty. As TO
Ed. Bowden, we agree it was a mistrial.
1t was what was expected, though the
features of some Of the doomed men be-
trayed their detected feelings The judge
directed that they be returned to Jail, and
that those who were acquitted be set at
liberty.
Then William O'Connor arose to address
the court. His face was livid with rage. As
he proceeded it was evident that he wanted
10 excoriate the prosecution, but Judge
Bryant stopped him and told him that he
was satisfied tibet every man connected
with the case had done his full duty.
Friends of the defendants then went on
the streets and INDUCED in a great deal Of
wild talk and vigorously denounced Texas
iuries. They were particularly angry AZ
the Hon, J. E. McComb, who conducted
~ -, 81
such ability, and it was intimated that
violence would be offered him, but deputy
marshals We're on the qui vive to guard
against anything of that kind. 1t is said
that they have threatened to break open
the jail tonight and a strong force is on
duty to prevent it should it be done The
wives of all the men except Jack Law
renee, who is a bachelor, are here and are
inconsolable with grief and have the sym
patny OF all although the verdict is in per
feet accord with public sentiment.
All of the men who were convicted were
at the hay camp at Wild Horse on the
night Of the killing, and there are nine
others yet to try, who were there on the
fateful night OF these Edward Bowdcn,
b. a. Jones, Charles Moore, Frank Balsby
and George b. Thomas are under bond.
Sam Robinson is in the Colorado pc niten-
tiary and the whereabouts of George
Smith, Sylvester Maher and Fred Brewer
is unknown. The trial Just closed was
for the killing of John W. Cross. There are
still indictments against all OF them for
the murder Of Hubbard, Eaton and VIII
cox, and for assault to kill Tonney.
1t is believed that at the next trial the
government will make still stronger case
A motion will be made for new trial, and
If overrulcd the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States.

corn. and French farmers could nst main

EUROPEAN NOTES.
Increased Complications of the Balkan
Troubles.

There are growing signs OF an i'm
pending storm in the Balkans. The SIT
nation is so grave that the holiday vaca
tons Of the leading officials OF the foreign
office here have been stopped Herr Won
Rndowitz. the German ambassador At
Constan tiuople, who was about to start Tor

his post. Sir w. A. White, the British
ambassador to the porte, who was Just be-
ginning at Gastein a furlougn to last sew
eral months, hurried back to Constantine
ple after having long interview with the
Emperor OF Austria The car has also
countermanded the congo OF Mneildoh, the
Russian ambassador.
A momentous change appears TO have
occurred in Germany's policy in the
Balkans. Instead OF pursuing the semi-
neutral diplomacy of Prince Bismarck,
the emperor has directed Herr RadowitI
to take the Initiative in advising the porte
how TO meet the contending claims OF
bulgaria and Russia Instructed through
Chancellor Won Caprivi, Herr Radowiu
has promis ed the porte an easy solution OF
the bulgarian trouble in harmony with
tho Berlin treaty, and also that an en-
deayor will be made to meet the Russian
war indemnity.
\ general explosion in the Balkans may
occur before the powers have time to
consider Emperor Williams proposals.
Greece and Seryia have added TO tho gen
eral imbroglio by each presenting notes
to the porte to the effect that any con
cessiou to Bulgaria would require similar
concessions to the Greek and Servian ma
tionalllies. The ScrviAn note also declares

A New Discovery for Soldiers.

PARIS, July IN. Paul Clifford, Il
French scientist, has discovered new
propulsive force which may revolutionize
the art of war. 1t is condensed liquid
gas which he calls LA NouUeIe Balls
tiG'te," or liquified gas. Three hundred
drops of this compound are contained ia n
small steel receptacle under the rife bar
rel, and each time the trigger is pulled one
drop falls into the breech behind the
bullet. Contact with the air causes this
drop to volatile instantaneously, with
expansive force far exceeding that of gun
powder, and which expels the bullet with
terrible velocity, accompanied by neither
noise nor smoke. This invention is also
applicable to artillery.

ARTISAN WELL IRRIGATION.
Secretary Rusk Believes His Plan to
Fertiize the Arid Regions Cheaper
than Major PowelPs,

WASHINGTON, July 9.-lt is expect
ed that the Senate will this week again go
into the discussion of the project of Mai.
Powell of the geological survey for an i'm
mense system of irrigation. There have
been two or three similar discussions al
ready this session, and thus far the direc-
tor of the survey has been able tc carry
of the honors and the confidence of the
Senate in spite of of the strenuous opposi-
ton OF Senator Stewart and few others.
Recently, however, the Senate has dis
covered that Mai. Powell has recommend
ed for withdrawal about nine-tenths of all
the agricultural lands still unsettled
This action has not only brought down up
90 his head the wrath of every Senator in
terested in the welfare of the uuinhabited
west, but has induced Senator Plumb to
report bill intended to clip the wings OF
the courtly but ambitious chief of the i'm
portant bureau. 1t is this bill which Will
cause full discussion of the methods OF
the survey, provided, of course, that it
can be reached between votes and speeches
on the tariff bill, which has the right Of
way. Not only has Mai. Powell to con
western Senators, but new antagonist
has arisen in the person of Secretary
Rusk. The secretary believes that there
is a much cheaper method of bringing the
arid regions into state of fertility than
that proposed by the scientists Of the
geological survey. In fact, the practical
secretary of agriculture has taken steps
TO demonstrate the correctness OF his
theory, and while Maj. Powell asks for
authority to inaugurate a scheme which
will cost millions of dollars, and which
will require several decades before its
practicability caR be tested, and which
will also absolutely prevent the settlement
of an acre of publ, domain during the ex-
perimeutal stage, Secretary Rusk has
proceeded to show that by his method
ample supplies of water can he obtained
for irrigating purposes, from below the
surface of the earth, by the artesianwell
system. The secretary, with compare
lively small fund at his disposal, has en-
deavored to demonstrate that artesian
wells will afford an ample water supply
for a vast urea of the arid region at an cx-
pense scarcely per cent. of the estimated
amount to be required by the Powell
scheme. There is no doubt that the res
ervoir system planned by the geological
survey would in the end prove OF inestim
able benefit but as there is no guaranty
that future congresses will continue ap-
preparations which may be iuaugurated by
the present congress, and as it is admitted
that it will be great many years before
any practical benefits can be derived from
the appropriations asked, it is quite prob
able that the Senate will decide to try the
Rusl proposition before giving the survey
the power and money asked.
