STOCKTON, Cal Oct, 27.-Palo Alto. the
old hero of the Stanford stables, lowered
his record today, trotting a mile in 2:1O

80 and 33344. It was a game race against
Father Time from the start to the finish
and the old campaigner did not make a
skip in the entire mile. When he went
to the quarter in 80 seconds, horsemen
said the pace was too fest, and when he
reached the half in 1898 they said he
could not keep his feet. But Palo Alto
was ont today to beat all his efforts and
went at this surprising gait throughout
the mile without even a touch of Mar.

Cultivation Of SMEAR Beet,,

HURON, s. D., Oct. 25.-Experiments
in the cultivation of sugar beets in this
locality have proven more satisfactory
than anticipated. Last May a crop was
sown g this city and harvested Oct
81, the yield, on unirrigated land, being
% tons, 977 pounds per acre. The beets
were of good size, weighing about four
ffths of a pound each, smooth and solid;
they received but little moisture early in
the season. and at no time during the
growing season did they have more than
the usual amount of cultivation. The
experiments have been so uniformly
satisfactory that next season farmers are
likely to extensively engage in the chi
tivation of sugar beets, both for market
purposes and for feeding stock.

The conditions OF warfare have been
so radically changed by smokeless
powder and magazine rifles effective
at a mile and a hall, that European
governments are seeking for devices
that will afford protection to soldiers.
Austria and France I experiment.
ing with shields for this purpose. A
committee of the French war Office
have reported in favor of a buckler of
aluminium and copper. They think
that a shield could be made out ofthis
combination to be carried without
serious difficulty, and strong enough
to stop even the moderate rifle bullet,
except at very close quarters.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-It was learned

noon that no appointment of a post
master at Fargo would be made until
Dec. II. the date of the expiration of
the term of Postmaster Judd, the pres.

seems, was determined upon before Gov

for a delay of the appointment until he
could have q hearing.
ION being shown the above dispatch, a Fargo
citizen, who is conversant with the situation,
said: mi: Judd recently stated that his com
mission did not expire until Dec. q, and no ap-
pointment would be made until then. Another
report is that President Harrison is willing to
take the matter upthis week. as he believes MIR.

BOILER EXPLOSION.
One Man Killed Outright, Several
Injured by the Explosion Of a
Boiler at Louisville, KY.
The Perpetrator of one Of the Most
Cold Blooded Murders Known
Lynched by a wild Mob.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 2G.-By a boiler ex.
plosion here this afternoon one man was
killed and several persons injured, and
nearly half a million dollars worth OF
property destroyed. At 5 O'Clock Will.
lam r. Adams, fireman at the electric
light plant Of the Louisville Gas Co., was
throwing coal in the furnace when one OF
the nest of seven boilers let 60. The
shock in the vicinity was like an earth
quake. Adams was thrown to the
ground with terrific force and received
such internal injuries that he will die.
The shed in which the boilers were 10.
Gated was completely demolished and
pieces Of iron and Of timber and
showers of rcd hot Goals were
thrown in every direction. A
great mass of iron and deluge
OF burning Goals was thrown across the
nl!ey into the rear of Kaufman &
Strouss' big retail dry goods store and
the wall OF the store was carried away.
Half a dozen clerks were gathered about
the b~ookkeeper at the back of the store.
With the bookkeeper. Solomon Dreyfus,
they were caught ia the wrecKage, but
it is believed all escaped alive. Dreyfus
was seriously injured, but. not danger
ously.
Carrie Dinkleepil, Hattie Ennis and
Lena Syckles wereslightly injured. To
u moment the whole building was a mass
of flames. The fire department was
o O at work, and their attention was
given to saving The Courier Journal
building, two doors north, and the Poly
technic library building, two numbers
south. At one time it seemed that The
Courier Journal would certainly be
burned.
But the wind was from the north and
carried the heat in the opposite direo.
ton. BY strenuous efforts the Poly.
technio building on the south was
saved, with heavy damage from water
to books, pictures and other art collec
tiops. The fire caught in and burned
out the two upper floors of j. E. v.
Scott & Sons, dealers in pictures, fine
mirrors, wall paper, photographers sup.
Plies and the two lower floors we're
flooded with water till hardly anything
was saved. A few others were slightly
damaged. Loss about $165, 900.

A vERDANr Pennsylvania has been
duped out of $500 by sharpers, who
sold HIM two bars OF nearly worthless
metal for gold. He deserved his fate,
however, for he thought he was driving
a sharp bargain with an ignorant
Indian, and was told by an alleged
officer of the mint that the bars were
worth $4,000. So he gave "Poor Lo"
$500 and took his purchase to the
mint, where his eyes were opened to
the fact that he had been duped and
not the poor Indian.

From that neighborhood the fires
spread east into Iowa County, where
many OF the settlers were compelled to

HUNDREDS OF TONS OF Hay

A mail carrier between Mulhall and

did some damage last night and tonight
reflections of several flies can be seen.

AN English syndicate recently sent
an expert mining engineer to look up
the old gold mines in Portugal. He
struck one of the old Roman mines
worked in the days ofC@sar Augustus.
In those days they cut down to the
vein, and this vein was 500 feet deep
before pay rock was reached. The
mine was open for an area of ten
acres or more up to the surface, every
foot Of ground having been taken of.
The debris around these old mines
could be worked over at a profit were
they in America, but in Portugal it
would cost too much for the trans.
,portation Of machinery.
