least copper and silver have been found
there. There is plenty of coal neal here.
Most of the coal used in Douglas comes
from the Charley Dorr mine two and one
half miles west of town and V. s. Nor
tons mine three miles northwest. At
for a 400 foot entry. The coal Is a soft
coal similar to that at Glenrock.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
Douglas has a fine system of water
works. The water. which Is pumped
from underneath and five feet below the
bottom of the river, is carried to a reser-
voir on the hill east of town so that when
the efficient firemen of Douglas turn on
the hose the pressure is great enough to
knock the shingles from the roof of the
tallest building. Douglas is the county
seat of Converse county but there is no
court house here and the jail contains
only one prisoner. In the spring the
town will adorn its streets with 500 trees

1t has been so thoroughly demonstrated
that this is a No. l hard wheat country
that a SIS, 900 grist mill is now under pro-

operation. A company has been formed
with a capital of $40. 900 and most Of the
stock has been subscribed. The trustees

The Raum Investigation.

y WASHINGTON, March 19.-In the
Raum investigation today Congressman
Enloe put in as evidence the afidavits
made BY Howard and Eogle (clerks in the
pension office whose dismissal the commas
sioner recommended) making the charges
that Horace @. Slower paid Theo. Smith
$50 to be transferred; that they had seen
Slower give Smith the money. 1t was
charged that Green B. Raum, Jr.. got
money and solicited money of Eugle.
Payson said this related to a matter
long after young Raum was out of Office,
but he would not object to to the afida-
Wits If it were expected 70 conuect The
commissioner recommendation for the
dismissal OF Howard and EnGle with it.
The comm sioner. in explanation OF his
Recommendation for their dismissal, read a
letter dated Sept 20. 1891, recommend
ing the dismissal OF Special Examiner
Taylor because he was an unsuitable per
son to discharge the duties 10 connection
with pension claims and also because he
wss associated with George B Fleming.
who endeavored to break down the pen
sion Office. Raum also read letters rec
pmtutuuluk me ulSuliF5di u CUglt du'i
Howard because theyconspirei to destroy
Slower.
The commissioner said he had thor
oughly investigated the matter and came
to the conclusion Howard anil Engle
made false charges. In connection VII b
the recomme end alton that Engle and
Howard be dismissed, the commissionn
submitted a second letter to Secretary
Noble. This letter began with the state
ment and affidavit Of Ford, chief of the
record division. charging Eagle, while
temporarily chief of the division. ruined
a girl In the division and publicly boosted
of her seduction.
The letter than charged Eugle was a
false swearer. a "re-rater,' a ''conspiratoI
against the chief of the bureau, seduceI
and one who carried a weapon with the
suggested intention of ASSASSINATION. >
The Howard letter was charged with his
being q conspirator. The letter also
alleged that George B. Fleming. the
discharged examiner. started the attack
and was publishing false and malicious at
tacks in the public press against the com
missioner. The letter closed with the state
ment there was a small number of active
and malignant i~ntriquers in the pension
office and demanded that he (Raum) be
sustained as necessary to the good gov
ernment or discipline of the office. Re-
curing to the charge that EngIe seduced
syoung girl Enloe asked if she was still
in the bureau.
The commissioner said he had told
Ford he did not wish to learn her name,
he heard she was conducting herself with
propriety and was still in the office. When
asked if he thought the woman should be
retained in the service, the COMMISSIONS
said he kept the service clean. 1t is g
matter of public motor .ety that there were
here and there a woman n public service
who had gone astray and had not been
turned out.

prosperous. In a few years the cattle
question will have been solved and Doug
las will be the center of a prosperous
community of farmers. But how about
the land which cannot be brought under
ditch? A Douglas man who has given
the subject much thought thinks a good
plan will be for the state when it shall
have gained control of the land, to rent
the lam back of and above the farming
land to the settlers at a nominal figure
and limit the amount which one man can
control.
wHEN THE VOTES ARR COUNTED.
The ard land question and the cattle
question are the two absorbing questions
in this county and next November and
perhaps for several Novembers the
people will want to know how the nomI-

"Mean? Well, perhaps it does look

we had some ulterior designs, does mt it?
Nothing of the sort, however. We sim

on the great highway between the east

consensus of conservative public opinion

He is q man of catholic sympathies,

honesty of purpose. Once nominated he
would become the Idol of the young De-

LEVEL-READED HARRY,
Mayor Hazard on the Extra
Sunday Proposition.
He Very Ably Squelches the Prop
0sition.
His Reasons Outlined in a Message to
the Conclusions Very Excel
lent Reasons for His
Position.

The extraordinary proposition from
the city council asking the mayor to set
apart today as special occasion for
prayer and attendance at the Mills
meeting has been squelched by Mayor
Hazard. His reasons, and they are
good ones, are given in the following
message to the council:
To the Honorable Council Of the City of Los
Angeles:
In answer to the request of your hon.
orable body that Wednesday, the 18th,
be set apart as day for religious
meditation" and that all business be
suspended on that day, am sorry to
inform you that am unable to comply
Herewith. In the first place, as mayor
of the city, over year ago extended
an invitation to the National Editorial
association to visit our city and be the
guests of our people, and they have ac-
cepted that invitation, fixing the 18th
day of May as the day when they wonld
be here. As result of their visit to
our city our people are making every
effort to entertain them tomorrow, and
the entertainment outlined does not in
clude religious observances. and to issue
the proclamation requested would be an
act inconsistent with our duties
as officials OF the city having in
charge the entertainment of our
guests. Under the charter OF our
city nearly every city official is
required to devote his entire time to the
duties of his Office, and is paid therefor,
and certainly we, as the legislative and
executive branches, would not be per-
forming ours in requesting these officials
to abandon their Offices on that day and
devote themselves to other things not
provided for by law, and in my judg-
ment inhibited by the fundamental law
of our land, no matter how praiseworthy
the act might be.
1t is manifestly unfair to request that
we officially recognize the work of any
church, or combination of churches, no
matter how numerous, as it involves the
violation and neglect of duty and the es-
tablishment of an unwise precedent. /
your honorable body the opportunity to
you so desire, by neglecting to act on
this matter today, and will therefore
transmit this message to the city clerk
early this morning with instructions to
notify you thereof Immediately, afford
ing your honorable body an opportunity
to pass such resolutions in the absence
OF proclamation from me on the SUBJ
ject as to your honorable body may seem
meet and proper.
1 am respectfully yours,
HENRY 7. HAZARD, Mayor.

There's a pleasant and a sure way

Liver Pill ever made, and a prompt
and effective remedy for Sick
Headache, Bilious Headache, Con-

cleanse and renovate the system,
quietly but thoroughly. They reg

These are purely vegetable and per-

and the mildest in operation-the
smallest in size, but the most eff

They're the cheapest pill you can
