National Sanitar1un.

Col. E. L. Clough left for he Springs
yesterday to confer with Fred Evans
and DIR. Jennings relative to the estab-
lisllment Of q national sanitarlum for
the use Of the regular army. Congress
has passed bill appropriating 100000
for such an institution. Colorado
Springs, Arkansas Springs, and several
other resorts, among the Hot Springs of
this state, are candidates for the institu-
ton. Gen. Averill, superintendent of
the soldiers homes of the United States,
has highly recommended the springs of
this state, but the department is little
skeptical as to the efficacy Of the waters.
Upon the recommendation of Gen.
Averill, Mr.. Clough, Fred Evans and
DIR. Jennings will procure batch of dis
abled soldiers from the various govern
ment hospitals and give them treatment
for their diseases at the Springs to
demonstrate practically to the depart
ment that our springs are equal to any
in the world. The entire expense of
transportation and treatment will be
borne by the people of the Springs.
Gen. Averill is of the opinion that if the
people prove by this practical test that
the waters are valuable for their medi-
cal qualities that the Springs will cap
ture the sanitarium. The establishment
Of such an institution would be of in
calculable benefit to the Springs. In
the first place it would mean the distri-
button of at least $4,000 per year for
provisions, which would be purchased
of the Hot Springs merchants. 1t would
mean also that half that sum would be
distributed TO the medical Staff and
employees. The sanitarium would, a,
the least calculation, have 400 patient
all the time, each of which would cor
tribute their mite toward the business
of the city. Again the establishment Of
such an institution would be guaranty
of the efficacy Of the waters. a fact
which would bring many to the Springs
which are now looked upon by some as
having no medicinal qualities. Success
to your efforts, gentlemen. .-Deadwoo

THE EXPOSITION OPENED.

At fifteen minutes past eleven O'Clock
last Monday morning President Grover
Cleveland pressed the electric button
which give life to the ponderous ma
chinery of the Columbian Exposition,
and formally inaugurated the greatest
enterprise Of that character which the
world has ever known. Two hundred
thousand people were assembled within
the limits of the White City at the time,
and while the crush was terrible, the
ceremonies were none the less impress
sive, and the flow of eloquence and the
inspiring music of the orchestras fell
upon attentive ears. In his opening adj
dress, before his finger was placed upon
the electric button, President Cleveland
said:
II am here to join my fellow citizens
in congratulations which befit the oc-
casion. Surrounded by the stupendous
results Of American enterprise and ac-
tivity, and in view of the magnificent
evidences Of American skill and intelli-
gence, we need not fear that these con-
gratuiatioRs will be exaggerated. We
stand today in the presence of the
Oldest nations Of the world, and point TO
the great achievements we here exhibit,
asking no allowance on the score Of
youth. The enthusiasm with which we
contemplate our work intensifies the
warmth of the greeting We extend to
those who have come from foreign lands
TO illustrate with us the growth and
progress Of human endeavor in the di-
rection Of higher civilization. We who
believe that popular education and the
stimulation of the best impulses Of our
citizens lead the way TO the realization
of the proud national destiny which our
faith promises gladly welcome the OPP
portunity here afforded us to see the
results accomplished by efforts which
have been exerted longer than ours in
the field of mans improvement, while
in appreciatiye return we exhibit the
unparalleled advancement and wonder.

and the present triumphs of vigorous,
self-reliant and independent people"
At three o'clock p. M, the woman's
building was dedicated. Mrs. Potter
Palmer driving with a silver hammer
the golden nail that completed the beau
ful edifice. The grounds were thronged
with sight ssers throughout the entire
day and several persons were slightly
injured in the crush. The fair is not
complete by any means. The majority
Of the exhibits have not been placed in
position, and only a faint idea of the
immensity and magnifcence of the ex-
position can be obtained at this time.
Another month will be occupied in
making it complete in every detail. The
attendance since the opening has aver
aged about 10000 each day.

THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM.

TIE fNEUMAIlt SYSTEM.
During the last few years several
new processes have been tried on the
dry ores Of this district with the object
of lessening the cost Of production, but
none have yet proven successful. The
present system, chlorination and smelt-
ing. are certainly expensive. costing
somewhere in the neighborhood of s.
per ton by the former and from S. to
$40 by the latter process, which is well
adapted for gold ores carrying a consid-
cradle amount of silver, for the silver
saved justifies the extra expense OF
treatment. We have lots of mining

paying good dividends, even with the
expensive systems, and lots more that
will pay when sufficient reduction plants
are erected. Some of our mines are
shipping their ore to eastern smelters
and paying nice dividends on the money
invested. bat with cheaper system the
dividends would be proportionately
greater and the mines enhanced in
value. In getting ore for the chlorina-
tion and smelling plants, lots of rock of
too low grade to pay milling expenses
has to be removed. This is thrown on
the dumps, awaiting the advent Of some
cheaper system Of milling. There are
also immense deposits of ore here that
will not pay expenses by the present
system of reduction, but handsome pro-
Ats could be realized from those low

Was 1t Foul PlayP

The Hermosa Pilot, in its account OF
the poisoning of three children at
Spokane last week, makes statements,
which if true. would certainly indicate
that the children we're the victims of a
murderous plot, and that some one is
responsible for their death. Men have
been convicted of crimes on less evil
dence than is contained in the article
below, and if there is anything of truth
in the story an investigation should GER
tainly he instituted. The Pilot says:
On Monday last two children of Peter
Sjoblom died from the effects of poison
which it is supposed they took by eat
ing some raw carrots that had been
loaded" with strychnine. Peter Sob
lom, Swede, with his wife and three
children have been living on the old
"Spearing" ranch, this side of Spokane.
The ranch is well known around here
as it has been in litigation for some
time. On Monday the children went
down into the cellar to play, and it is
supposed that while there they ate some
raw carrots that were stored there for
family use. Half an hour afterward the
girl, aged eight, and the boy aged six
died in awful agonies, while the little
four year old girl was very sick, and
only the timely arrival of DR.. Churchill
saved her.
The funeral took place here on We'd
nesday. Rev. Tutty officiating. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sjoblom while in town stopped at
the hotel Spokane. They expressed
their determination to leave the ranch
Immediately. The cellar in which the
poisoned vegetables are, is locked up
and left just as the children were taken
from it, Sjoblom has no idea who the
perpetrators Of the dassardly outrage
can be. Spearing, the original locator
of the homestead, came along last FRI
day and offered to buy the improve
ments and spring plowing already done,
but Sjoblom would not as he contended
that he had no right to do so. Spearing
went in the house to see as he express
ed it "his old home," and on coming out
advised Sjoblom to leave as the curse of
God rested upon it ever since they had
tried to beat him out of his home. He
called Sjoblom's attention to the course
of former occupants, first was Sheldon,
who is now in prison, then came Jim Fer
guson, who salso in jail Stanton came
next and his family is dead, and he
and his wife are parted, and advised him
to go if he did not want any harm befall

to leave or sell, and the man mounted

thought no more of it till his two chill

day. The report that the children were
killed by some poison which Mrs. Siop-
lom had left around carelessly is untrue.
There was but one package of poison in
the house and that is stiH the-e un-

Truthfu'ness.

A sincre attachment to truth, moral
and scientific, is habit which cures q
thousand little infirmities of mind and
is as honorable to a man who possesses
it, in point of character, as it is profit
able in point of improvement. There ia
nothing more beautiful in science than
to hear any man candidly owning to
his ignorance. It is SO little the habit
of men who cultivate knowledge TO dc
so-they so often have recourse to sub.
terfuge, nonsense or hypothesis, rather
than to a plain, manly declaration.

Learning Chinese.

OPeople reared in an environment OF
Anglo-Saxon custom and tradition have
always found Chinese the most difficult
of all languages to acquire. 1t is not
very surprising, therefore, to learn that
the British army authorities have found
it almost impossible, even by the most
persuasive inducements, to get their
offices to undertake the study of the
mandarin tongue. Ten years ago the
government offered handsome prizes to
any officer who could show satisfactory
progress in learning Chinese, and now
a reward of two Thousand rupees is
promised to all officers passing even
an elementary examination in this diff.
ficult language of monosyllables In
the United States Chinese is but little
studied. About ten years ago Harvard
college offered a course of instruction
in 1t, and imported a most imposing
mandarin, to teach it, but hardly half
a dozen students out of the 1,500 there
made use of the opportunity. Yet a
number of Harvard students during
the last twenty years have gone to
China after graduation and "picked
up the language very handily--Chi-

that gran'pop had told her when he
