POINTS THAT TOLD.

Mr.. Wilson's declaration that the
democratic party would never permit
this to become either a pauper or a
pirate nation was cheered roundlv.-
The statement that the reciprocity of
the Mckinley bill meant rather retail
iation, and retaliation against our
own people, was applauded heartily.
Simple Simon. fishing in his moth
er's rain barrel and catching an oc-
casional wiggle-waggle, presented too
true realistic picture of reciprocity
according to the present republican
plan. This characterization aroused
laughter and shouts of applause.
Quick, impetuous shouts greeted
the statement that the Democratic
candidate would not receive congrat-
nIatfons from the foreign castles of
protection barons of this country.
There was cry from the gallery,
whats the matter with Wilson for
President?''
There were numerous favorable re-
sponses, to all of which Mr.. Wilson
shook his head and waved his hand
deprecatingly. The demonstration
ended with three formal cheers for
the permanent chairman by the del
egstion from Missouri.

Remarkable Experience
of John Turk, a Pho

80 Doses Taken at Once Did

in Curing Him.

fohn Turk, Cascade, Montana, look 80
doses of a so-called "San francisco Quack's
Medicine" at once, and was not killed,
as promised by ,iva! doctors. In Septem-
Der, 1888, he called on DR.. A. G. Stoddart,
visiting physician for DIR. Liebig Il Co.,
and Butte City, who had Offices for two
weeks at the Merchants Hotel, Helena.
Mr.. Turk had suffered for years with
rheumatism, lmpurity of Blood and effects
of mercuFial Salvation. He. had four of
the best physicians in Montana attend him,
dart examined him, sent his prescriptions
to Liebig Dispensary, San Francisco. to be
prepared. After Dr.. stoddart left, Mr..
Turk met the local doctors and told them
what he had done. They laughed at him,
and said that San Francisco quaok would
kill him." He was SO frightened that when
the medicine from San Francisco came he
put the bottle upon q shelf at his house,

A YEARS ENTERTAINMENTS.
The Record q Large One-The Bearings on
Genera Business.

The Record q Large One-The Bearings on
General Business.
The embezzlement record of the year is a
large one. The total of recorded defalce-
tons is 49, 20, 294. It is nearly two and
three-tenths times the total of 1890, and the
list is only a partial one. Undoubtedly
some have been ''missed" in the count, and
the list does not include what i s probably q
considerable number that were privately
settled, one of the conditions to which was
that the steal should not be reported to the
public.
If these could be included the proportion
might not be materially altered, but the
total would perhaps rise as high RS $780,
100000, or an average Of 40 cents for every
%inhabitant of the United States, lost by
men who abused the trust reposed in them
| by others who contided to them the care of
personal property.
The aggregate is an appalling one. At
first sight it may be thought to give the lie
to the assertion that the country hns been
more prosperous because of the abundant
crops of last year. In reality it closely in
dlcatcs tho changes in the business current
from relatively low to high water. 1t may
be taken for granted, says the Chicago
L. ibune. that while a portion OF tho funds
was dissipated in extravaganza Of personal
living, in which wine and women" were
ADokhCS uAAo HtSAo cuAA Va IAN
money was lost in speculation.
The funds Of other people were taken to
tide over losses already experienced, and
then more was distracted in the hope
of recovering what had been sunk in tho
mnelstrom. At last the defalcation became
too large for further concealment, and ex-
posure followed.
The defalcations for last month were
more than so per cent in excess Of the aver
age of the year, Il fact probably not uncon-
nected with the severe downturn in produce
prices, contrary TO widespread expectation,
causing heavy losses to speculative invest
ors, both at nome and abroad, especially in
wheat.
The state Of Pennsylvania leads in the
list of reported embellishments, its total
exceeding $1,000, 900, or nearly 36 per cent.
of the WHOLE. New York comes second,
with u total of about $5,50O,O00, or nearly
% per cent, and Massachusetts third. with
$1,577, 492, or nearly eight per cent.
These three wore respectively swelled to
large proportions by the Bardsley, Field
md Maverick defRlcations, all Of which
were singular in their magnitude. but fol-
lowed tho lines above indicated as the
leading cause of the crime. Illinois stands
fourth on the list, with only $610.S7 or n
little over threo per cent, which is far less
than the ratio of population. The states
apparently exempt from the deuredations
of the reported embeZzler during last year
are Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon
and Vermont.

HUNTING A LOST MINE.
A Party Of Hardy Adventures Who
Will Endeavor to Find
the Pegleg.
T.e Search Will Take Them
Across the Burning Colo
RADIO Desert.
Brave Men who VIII Try to Ferret Gu,
The Secret of the Hidden
Wealth.

When the steamer Mexico sails co-mor-
row morning she will CARRY with her a
party of four persons who ara starting on a
trip with their lives in their hands, said the
San Francisco Chronicle of Feb q. They
60, like the hardy Adventures of 10, in the
search Of that yellow metal by which sc
many brave men lost their lives. But as
times are now different. so will DO the
trials of these men. The pioneers enccunt-
ered most of their hardships in crossing the
rlains, but at their destination found q
veritable Eldorado. These mon will begin
their trip by a pleasant voyage, and will
only to encounter hardshipa
when they reach the vicinity Of the object
of their hopes.
The leader of this party ID Thomas l.. Do
ran. of this city. whose adventures and mar
row escape from death. on the burning
wastes of the Colorado desert in search of
the lost Pegleg mine were related in the
Chronicle of Aug. I'd last. 1t is to make a
second search for that long-souRht deposit
that the party has now started. After the
article referred to appeared Doran received
letters from all over the United States from
persons who desired to 60 with Il party
headed by him in another search. He 1s-
fused all offers, fearing the result Of such u
partnership with strangers.
In addition to the stories of frequent
temporary locations of the Pegleg mine,
as related in the Chronicle of April 8 last,
and the othor knowledge Doran possessed
regarding it, he obtained much farther
valuable information. Ono old miner fur
nished him with the tracing of n map of
PegleG Smiths trip across the desert when
he first discovered tho mine which bears
the nickname of tho old trapper. TIT To-
cation of the mine was marked on this
rough,map. This location agrees with the
idea Dpran had formed after his first e1-
ploration.
The belief that he now knows about
where the ledge is situated was further
strengthened II few weeks ago when Doran
received a visit from Geo go Montgomery,
Vho . year ago discovered the long-loss
Breyfogle mine in southern Nevada. which
was almost AZ famous as the lost feglcc.
Dorsn considers Montgomery one of the
best and moat intelligent miners whom he
ever met, and WAS delighted beyond measure
to find that after II careful study of the
data at hand he had arrived at tho same
conclusion as himself with regard to tho
location Of the mine.
Doran no longer hesitated, especially AZ
Reports show that over \ dozen parties
started for the desert in search of tho mine
after tho publiaatton of his adventures in
tho Oh onicla last ANgust. He accordingly
disposed OF his business aud pegnu getting
a party together for the trip.
The brave mon who aro now going to

was spent in the usual social diversions.

AT THE THEATRES
Large New Year Audiences at Both
Places of Amusement


Places of Amusement.
There were large audiences at both
the performances at the Opera House
yesterday. At the matinee the house
was completely filed with people, and
in the evening the gathering was also
OF considerable proportion. The at
traction was Conreid's Opera Co., who
sang that popular opera, ''Poor Jona-
than"
The opera was fairly well presented
In certain parts, but 1t may be said that
the acting was one or two furlongs
ahead Of the singing. The vocal melo-
dy was hardly up TO the mark, certainly
not such singing as one has been accus-
toned to associate with this popular
opera. However, the piece produced
much merriment, the acting at times
being especially good, and the speciality
burlesque work being taking features.
The humorous roles were excellent, and
the girls, some of them, were petite and
pretty, even saucy. On the whole the
large audience in one way
and another were well entertained.
There was also large audience at
the Grand at both performances. "Me
and Jack" held the boards. 1t is mot
an uproarously funny play, in other
words witty and new, and smiles at
times were strained. Still everything
goes on New Years, and there was
enough variety to keep the ball rolling,
and to make the audience feel as
though they were getting their moneys
worth.

By q series Of steps OF almost unprece-
denied gayety In the holidays Wheeling
dancing society was led up to an event
last night which was one OF the most
brilliant Of the season. For weeks the
young society people Of the city have
been agog with excitement, but the
affair of last night met and fulfilled
every wish, desire and anticipation.
The ball was prominently a young
peoples ball. The number Of charming
and lovely dressed young ladies and Of
gallant and glowing young men has sell
dom been exceeded at any of the social
events. Other cities may possess as
brilliant and attractive an array Of
youthful feminine beauty as the Pan
Handle City, but it would puzzle scores Of
them OF far greater population to produce
In a dancing company collection that
would hold favorable comparison with
that which the spectators at the Nc
Lure House so admirlngly gaZed upon
last night. Without yenturing beyond
the realm Of fact, il can readily be said
that in this respect the ball was rare
one, and as these attractions were sup
plemented by high grace in the art Of
dancing, the most satisfying music, and
the best of appointments, il was difficult
to discover any lack in q complete and
well-rOunded success.
Shortly after nine o'clock the guests
began to arrive on the scene, and car
rage upon carriage rolled up in front
Of the Twelfth street entrance to the
hotel. In another half hour the apart
ments were alive with guests awaiting
the signal for the dance. The apart
ments were beautifully decorated with
figures Of evergreen, while here and
there at convenient intervals were sta
toned handsome parlor lamps. Two
large double apartments were reserved
for the ladies dressing room, while the
gentlemeD's apartments were adjoining
the south dining room.
The main dining hall where the dane
ing took place was beautifully trans
formed. Figures Of evergreenin scrolls,
b. hearts and V-shaped emblems adorned
the lace curtains, while flags, evergreen
and other bits OF nature bedeCSed the
chandeliers. When all the dancers
were on the floor the scene
WAS brilliant one. The
promenades, the graceful dances, the
bright Jewels and the marvellous variety
OF striking and beautiful costumes con-
tributed to form q memorable kaleldos-
coUic picture with as many lovely tints
as a priSmatic fountain. The decora-
lions and general arrangements about
the hotel were all under the immediate
supervision Of Mr.. Frank Stamm, and
they were most skillfully carried out.
Music was furnished by the Opera House
Orchestra and many OF the latest and
most popular pieces were rendered. AT
intermission the following lunch was
served
