Blaine Taken Suddenly I'LL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Great excitement
was caused in the department of state this
forenoon over the sudden illness of Score
tary Blaine. The nature of his illness is
not at present known, but it is said to be
due altogether to temporary stomachic de-
rangement. The alarm subsidized about
noon, when the secretary, who was at
tended by physician from the war and
ravy departments. was reported resting
quietly aud being entirely out of danger
The secretary was removed to his home in
carriage. He is now reported to be much
improved and it is expected he will be able
to be out tomorrow.
Later information concerning Secretary
Blaine's sudden illness established the fact
that it was caused wholly by sn attack OF
indigestion and as soon as his stomach was
relieved by light emetic he suffered NO
further pain, but simply the after effects
of nausea.
There are ali sorts of sensational rumors
afioat tonight regarding Blaine's condition
An Associated Press reporter IN erviewed
separately the physicians who ATTENDED
him and all agreed he was only sufferin o
from indigestion, resulting from over eat
ing.

MOREABOUT THE GAS
Work Is Being Pushed With
Expedition.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING
GEORGE I. Brlce and George a. Knox Buy the
Interest of W. H. Sherman in the
Godbe Pitts Drug Company.

AS predicted in The HERALD some DAYS
since, the gas belt is being found this size
of the well of the American Natural Gas
company, and the further prediction.
namely, that no perceptible diminution
would take place in the flow of the present
well by reason of sinking others in the
vicinity will, we think, also hold good.
Inc trend is this way, and the Salt Lake
Natural Gas company is playing no second
fiddle in its efforts to secure flow nearer
the city. This corporation has secured
leases on about seven hundred acres of
land IN solid body lying to the west of
the new stock yards
AT point just over the Jordan and seven
miles northwest of the city, it has begun
drilling and is now down to the depth of
200 feet.
Yesterday the body of water which lies
Just above the shae Cat the lake shore ex-
plorations), was struck, and it came bub-
bling up with sufficient gas to be ignited.
inns shale is supposed to be from ten to
thirty feet thick, and when penetrated the
chances are good for finding dry gas.
THE BREAKING OF DRILL
delayed work for twenty-four hours, but
everything Is in good shape to-day and the
pine is going down.
The immense derrick, the steam engine
and the stir round about the works all give
decidedly business air to the ''plains of
the Jordan" and spouting returns are an
ticipated any hour.
The Union Pacific will send an excursion
up to the Lake Shore well on Sunday after
noon, when all who desire can see the gas
! ignited
The atmosphere about the city has a real
estate-gas-smell to it. Well, we can stand
| it.
A little arithmatic-There were I, $40 car
loads of coal shipped int Salt Lake during
the year 1891. or 1925 54 tons, which is
equal to 1853, 600 cubic feet of natural gas.
There were S232 carloads or 1874. $50 tons
of ore brought here. With a sufficient
supply of natural gas there will no longer
be any necessity for shipping the ore out OF
this district.
The American Natural Gas company's
well will flow about 4, 1000, 600 cubic feet per
day. which is equivalent to L. 65 600, OOC
cubic feet per year. Don't worry over
these figures, but drill on.

garded as only question of few hours
While the officers are guarding the secret

capture is now after him. II was sent this
morning. l expect to hear tomorrow he
has been captured or slain, and probably
the latter, as he boosted he would never be
taken alive. l believe with his death or

MOTHER BUTTERFLY
A Notorious Partisan Character
Lying at the Morgue.
SIZE was the Daughter of Project Under the
Second Empire-Rer Career-From
SplendOr to Degradation.

special 10 THE HERALD-Examfner Dispatch
PARIS, Jan. 5.-The whole city was very
much exercised to learn that Mother But
terfy" is lying at the morgue, for she was
character who in one way and another
had managed to make herself very well
known in the French capital. She was the
daughter of project under the second en-
pire and educated herself and her brother,
his only children, in the best possible man
ner. and VINO, after spending his money
with lavish hand, died absolutely penni-
less in consequence of his extravaganza.
The daughter went on the stage and be-
came notorious at the Alicar oliver
when Therese ran it. She was taken off
the stage by very rich American, who
after making her his companion on his
journeys all over the world and spending
fortune on her, quarreled with and left her
In Philadelphia without cent in her
pocket. She managed, however, to return
TO France and then went to Liverpool with
her brother, shortly after which she fell in
love with an actor and eloped with him,
taking 10000 francs which belonged to her
brother. With this sum she started q
circus, the lover doing equestrian acts, in
which he had very great deal of success.
Eventually, however, the circus was burnt
out at Naples and "Mere Papfllon"
had narrow escape from O
terrible death. Then she was
taken III and finally became insane, when
she was put into an asylum, where she
spent long time. After recovering her
reason she returned to Paris and obtained
position at the Grand Magasin du Louvre
as saleswoman, and she also began a career
as fortune-teller. She made so much money
at this that she became reckless and took to
drink. Thus she dropped out of sight and
was last heard of as a frequent visitor of
the Chateau Rogue in Rue Galande which
was once the palace of Louis XIV and is now
the nightly resort of criminals and drunk
ards of very low type. There she used to
tell anybody's fortune for two sous and a
glass Of absinthe. She died three days ago
from the effects of drink in the Quarter
Villette, where she lived. The morgue to-
day was crowded with all sorts of people
who were elbowing each other in their
eager desire to see the bloated remains of
mere papilion.'
