Brutal Assault, browns Herself.
Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 2s.-The body of
Gertrude Perkins, 16-year-old Colored
girl, was found in the cistern at the
family residence en- Walnut street at an
early hour this morning. Evidence
brought out by the coroner's investiga-
ton developed the fact that the girl had
heeen the victim about ten days ago of
brutal outrage at the hands of man
named James Finch, and that remorse.
coupled with the suffering she endured
as result of the assault, had driven her
to suicide. Finch was arrested. Peoria
was crowded with strangers to-day who
were in attendance upon the Modern
Woodmen's conclave and the facts in the
case were kept as quiet as possible by the
police, who fear lynching. Finch is in
the county Jail, and every precaution
will be used to prevent an outbreak.

right to close debate, as they have done
so in their new rules. He said that be

be to stop disturbance on the floor OF

of the new rules and smilingly alluded
to the absence of a clause authorizing

that he fully expected a decision from

For long time Arizona has had the
worst of everyone's opinion, AMI that too
without deserving it. There are no
finer mining prospects in the world than
within Ter borders, and some of her
mines already developed have produced
millions. For some cause capitalists
have looked upon all Arizona mines as
schemes and frauds for the sim pie reason
that they did not know what they were.
Things are fast changing though, and
before long the golden wreath that she
deserves will enclrcle her brow, and her
boundless mining resources will begin
to be developed in a way that she has
never known.-Arizoaa Mimi Report.

Cleveland their candidate. This is but

LONDON Iron says "the increased de-
mand for platinum for use as poles, in
electro-chemical batteries for crucibles,
ETC., has raised the price of that metal
to a point never before reached, its pre-
sent value being nearly three-fourths
that of gold. Three years ago platinum
cost approximately ZIG per pound. To
day it is worth double this price, and is
eleven times dearer than silver. The
metal, which is Indispensable in the man
ufacture of numerous scientific instru-
ments, is only found in small quantities,
namely, in the form of platinum ore in
Peru, Colombia and Brazil, and I'm
small steel-gray grains in the Ural
mountains, in California, the Oregon
hills, and in Borneo. The principal
source of production is in the Urals.
The yearly output has never amounted
to more than four tons, land at present it
does not exceed three tons. Should not
new and more fructiferous deposits be
discovered, and this is scarcely probable,
platinum will soon be literally worth
its weight in gold"

imposes an export tax on Mexican ores
The measure is supposed to be in retail,
iation for the ruling of the secretary OF
the treasury of the United States i'm
posing a duty on lead ores imported
from Mexico. 1t is quite probable that
the ruling is part of the general Mex
lean policy of building up manufactures
in that country. Smelling and refining
works are, in an industrial sense, as
clearly manufactures..as wooden or Get
ton mills. They give employment to
home labor to do something that needs
to be done, and which without them
would be done abroad. Mexico has ar
