Two DOLLAR Diggins.

Wenatchee Graphic. The Columbia
is gold bearing at any point. but none
but the Chinese seem to make It pay.
A AGhinaman who has. washed the bars of
the river for twelve years tells us that
any of them bear gold; that under fa-
vorable conditions his seountrymen can
make from $1.76 to 81 per day; that the
reason the white man can not succeed is
because they do not use care enough in
saving the gold, which is exceedingly
fine. The Cinnamon use great deal Of
quicksilver and run water through the
sluices yers slowly; the American is in
too big a hurry. and floats away the gold.
1t is quite hard work, as the dirt must
be lifted very high.

'tHow are potatoes?" was the question
put to leading rancher of Wasco at the
Umatilla house this morning. The sea-
son has been almost an ideal one for
potatoes. A little more late rain would
have increased the yield, but at the ex-
pense of the quality. Probably less
ground was seeded to these tubers than
last year, but the yield will fall but little
below that of last fall. Considerable in
quiry has been made for potatoes to ship
east, but as yet no prices have been
quoted, as but few of them, are ripe
enough to ship so far. Should any great
amount be shipped to eastern markets
the consumers at home will probably paw
good round price for them before an
other crop is grown.
For fruit the season has been a good
one, very few orchards being injured in
the least. Berries are practically gone.
but apples and plums are ripening quite
freely now, and the abundant season.
coupled with the new orchards commen-
cling to bear. will greatly increase the
total crop.

Dakota aiming Trust.

Telegram. How will the farmers
alliance view the great milling trust that
has been formed in North Dakota with
a. capital ISL 100000? Somehow trusts
and big syndicates don't sound well in
the Dakotas. There is lack of harmony
in the idea with the spirit of the people.
Mr. Kyle must now express himself SO
that there may be official declaration of
of approval or disapproval.

SALT LAKE, Utah, April 26.-W. c. Aus
tin made most audacious though un-
successful attempt to rob the Utah Ma
tional Bank. Austin entered the bank
with the utmost nonchalace, walked up
TO the desk and wrote this extraordinary
demand on the back of a blank check:
"Give me SIS 600 instantly or will blow
your brains out"
The paying tel)cr, whom he covered
with a revolver concealed by his overcoat
which hung over his arm, believing he
had to deal with lunatic, reached for
some currency to meet the demand. Then
he remembered that the counter was OF
stone and he dropped behind it, yelling:
"Arrest the robber!"
Austin, seeing he was foiled, fed, but
was shortly after arrested. He is believed
to be crazy. For years he has been
tramp journalist, and has worked on a
score OF leading papers between Chicago
and the Pacific coast.

BERLIN, April 28.-Once more an Amer
ican girl is in trouble. Fannie Wheeler,
Of Boston, has been living here more than
year with her aunt, Frau Saalbach.
Miss Wheeler has an annual income Of

stalwart ex-soldier. Miss Wheeler's Wis

the couple were engaged.
The marriage was followed by happy

found enjoyment in heavy drinking and
finally in beating his wife.

PARIS, April 26.-The restaurant of M.
Very who. on March 30 delivered Rava-
chol, the anarchist, into the hands of the
police, was utterly wrecked at 9.40
o'clock last night by a bomb explosion.
Since Ravachol's arrest, Very has fire.
quently been threatened with such dis
aster.
The force of the explosion was terrific
and widely felt, and an enormous crowd
quickly gathered about the shattered
building. The police found Very lying
on the floor of the restaurant, in the
midst of heaps of debris, groaning with
fright and pain. One OF his legs had been
broken and he was sent to q hospital
where the leg was amputated. Soon af-
terwards Very died.
A grand daughter OF Very was also in
jured, and tw' ladies living in rooms
over the restaurant were badly shaken
and bruised. Very's wife was not
injured, but she has become q raving
maniac owing to the severity of the
shock she suffered.
Firemen are clearing away the ruins.
The damage done Is almost entirely con-
hned to the building in which Very's res
taurant was located. A detachment of
troops is keeping clear the roadway be-
fore the ruined cafe. 1t is the general
opinion that the explosion was perpetra-
ted mainly to terrorize the jurymen who
will be on duty at Ravachops trial.
The police think the bomb was thrown
into the basement of the building through
grating. A policeman on duty just out
side the restaurant was thrown to the
pavement by the shock. He aaw nothing
suspicious. A quantity of goods exposed
N front OF an adjoining shop was de-
stroyed.
Three persons have been arrested on
suspicion of being implicated in the MUIR
derous affair. One of them shouted
viva anarchy" upon being taken into
custody. The news Of the explosion
quickly spread throughout the city,
creating CONSERVATION, especially on the
Boulevards where exaggerated reports of
the affair were current.
Detachments of police hurriedly
formed q CO rdon in the boulevard Ma
genta, on which, Mt the corner OF Rue
Lancry, Very's restaurant is located.

Ne served Connecticut well.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 26.-Ex-
State Comptroller John b. Wright OF
Clinton, died at his home yesterday after
an illness extending over period OF near
ly three years. Mr.. Wright was one of
the oldest citizens of tho state. For 16
years he was deputy collector OF internal
revenue for the New Haven district and
was a very popular official. In 1888 he
was elected state comptroller and served
until succeeded by Comptroller Staub. He
had been Republican since the organi-
zation OF that party.
