RENEWED THEIR FAITH.

A Christian. Scientist In Chicago
Cures Horse In Eau Claire.
EAU CLAIRE Wis, Special.-A
curious instance of the effects Of the Chris
tian science craze occurred hero recently.
There is quite q large circle
of students of the science in
this city, and they hold regular meetings
for the discussion Of methods and cases.
One of the number, gentleman who re-
sides just out Of the city, had sick horse
on his hands. The veterinary surgeon
could do nothing for the animal, and the
local Christian science experts failed also.
Thereupon the owner Of the horse, having
plenty Of time and not caring for the ex.
pense, went to the telegraph office and
wired an account of the case to a Christian
science professor in Chicago. The symp-
toms were given in the telegram, and the
Chicago expert was asked to treat the case
by the usual method. The horse was at
that time apparently on its last legs. The
Chicago scientist wired back that he was
treating the horse to the best Of his ability
and was thinking hard. Within five hours
the horse was well and eating oats. The
case was duly reported at the next meeting
of the circle, and the members are pursuing
their experiments with renewed faith in the
science.

THIRTY FOUR LIVES LOST.

Three Dams on the Hassayampa
River Believed to Have Given Out.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Special.--A courier just
arrived from the lower dam on the Hasa
yampa river reports q tremendous noun
tain of water came down the Hassayampa
about 2 o'clock Saturday morn
ing and thirty-fou men lost their
lives at the lower dam, where they are at
work. They were all whites except three
Chinese. The courier reports that the town
of Wickenburg is all right. The loss of life
in the. valley between Wickenberg
and the dam may not be
doubt considerable and the number may
reach thirty or forty. The courier states
that the upper dam undoubtedly broke and
carried the other two dams below down
with it. The loss to property in the dams
alone will amount to about $500, COO. 7

In 1860 the state of Iowa had q
population of only 674,913. Iowa
then had been a state in the union tor
fifteen years and settlement had been
in progress for nearly thirty years.
South Dakota has just barely been
admitted as state and it has to-day
nearly as large a population as Iowa
in 1890. The probability is that
within ten years South Dakota will
pass Iowa in population.

the extent to which the wheat was cleaned.
For example. on the Ames g. French farm

rusted wheat was harvested in 1855 and, as

was carefully cleaned, SO that out Of 100
