SAN Francisco, Dec. 23.--Final prep

event ever witnessed ON the Pacific
coast. On Jan. l, 1894, the gates of the
California Midwinter International ex-
position will be thrown open. There
visitors will be entertained amidst pro-
fusion of palms and flowers: The expo
sition, which in its incipiency was looked
upon by many as nothing more than q
sideshow to the Columbian exposition,
has developed into one of far greater
magnitude than its most sanguine sup
porters dreamed. When the idea was
born in the minds of it's promoters it
was thought that FIVE buildings would
cover all the requirements, but today
over 20 buildings are to- be seen in the
100 acres set aside in Golden Gate park
for that purpose As special attraction
the services of the Iowa State band have
been secured to play during the contin-

SAN Francisco, Dec. 23.-The fight
between over SO insurance companies
doing business in this city and certain
leading merchants has taken new form.
The 30 insurance companies, who al
legged first incendiarism and then fraud,
refused to pay loss of over 100000
claimed by Boyer 81 Reich, wholesalers
of woollens and ladies furnishings,
whose establishment recently burned.
Many other merchants in sympathy
with Boyer d Reich began cancelling
their policies with the companies which
refused to pay, and in one day it is said
over $500, 900 of insurance was with
drawn. The Pacific Insurance Union
has now come to the relief of these COM
panies by passing stringent resolution,
prohibiting any company in the union
from rewriting insurance that has been
cancelled to effect boycott of compan-
les who are fighting Boyer & Reich.

RIO Is CAPTURED.
Such is the Report Telegraphed by the
Associated Press Correspondent at
Pernambuco.
He Admits There Is q Good Healthy
Doubt as TO the Reliability Of
the Report.
Peixoto Said to Be a Prisoner In the
Hands of Mello-Nothing Heard
at Washington.

PERNAMBUco, Dec. 23.-The most
startling and sensational rumors are in
circulation here, and as they come from
various sources and directions, it would
seem that the report which is causing SO
much commotion is widespread. Ac-
cording to this report, which reached
here from Rio de Janeiro during the
day, the insurgent feet, after two days
of desultory fighting with the govern
ment troops, have made determined
and successful attack upon Rio de ia
metro, which has resulted in the capture
of that city. It added taat President
Peixoto has resigned the presidency in
favor of de Mello, and that Peixoto is a
prisoner in the hands OF his enemies.
The News IL Doubted.
These are the facts as they have
reached here, but it Is right to add that
the authorities of Pernambuco who have
been questioned on the subject, doubt
the truth Of the startling nows which is
in general circulation here.
The Associated Press correspondent is
doing his utmost to find out the real
facts in the case, but he is unable TO OBJ
tain any reply to his message sent south.
and messages from the Associated Press
correspondent at Rio have, apparently,
been intercepted, which would give
color to the report that something
of an extraordinary nature has occurred.
A battle between the rebels and the
government forces is reported to have
taken place in the interior. Fifty of the
government troops are said to have been
been killed.

The State Department Has Not Heard Of
the Capture of Kio.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Neither the
state nor navy department had received
any news during the moring indicating
the capture of Rio de Janeiro and the
downfall of President Peixoto, and at
the navy department opinion was ak
pressed that Captain Picking would
promptly notify the department of such
an occurrence. The government here,
however, for some days has heard that
President Peixoto was losing ground,
and that he was likely to meet serious
reverses In short time.
At the Brazilian legation it was
learned that no news had been received,
and that the rumor of Rios capture was
doubted. Ordinarily the legation re-
ceives advices each day, and some delay
apparently has occurred in sending cable
messages to the legation has occurred.

MRS. MAVERICK AGAIN.
New and Important Evidence Said to
Have Been Secured.

Have Been Secured.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-In an interview
with the solicitor of Baroness Roques,
the lawyer said that fresh and sensa-
tional evidence had been discovered in
favor of Mrs. Maybrick and that urgent
means were being taken to induce Rt.
Hon. Henry Asquifh. secretary of state
for honas affairs. to open an independent
inquiry into the circumstances of the
case under its new developments.
The newly discovered evidence comes
from the captain of Halifax ship who
has been away at sea, and who is now
only able to give his testimony. The
captain was intimate with Mr.. May
brick, the deceased husband OF the
American lady now undergoing sentence
of imprisonment for life, after being
convicted OF his murder. According to
the captain, the latter often saw
the deceased put white powder
into the food which he was cook
ing ON an oil stove at his Office in Hall
fax. The captain thought that the white
powder was some peculiar kind Of
pepper, and questioned the deceased
about it, but the latter said that it was
arsenic. Thereupon the captain says that
he exclaimed: ,s. ssl
"Good God! That is deadly poison.',
To this Mr.. .Maybrick is said to have
answered:
"You must have something to keep
yourself up. take enough to kill you. !"
The solicitor of the baroness refuses,
at present, to reveal the name Of the sea
captain who has furnished this appar-
emily very important testimony.

This Winter the ,DnIlest For Long Time.
PrOphecy For spring.

This Winter the Dullest For n Long Time.
Prophecy For Spring.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 23.-The Missis-
sippi Valley Lumberman says in regard
DO the lumber trade:
Il The local white pine trade is at an
absolute standstill, and the winter is the
dullest that has been felt for long time.
No efforts are being made to sell any
thing, and the travelling men are all in
from the road enjoying the holidays.
The shipments are very light, and as
compared with last years show falling
of over two-thirds. December of last
year was very good month with the
lumbermen here, as many orders We're
shipped to Chicago. But there are no
features of this kind in the trade this
year. and nothing but quiet and un-
eventful period is in store for the next
month. The lumbermen are busy
completing their invoices, and
in short time they will
know exactly how they stand with the
world. One thing is certain, and that
is, the manufacturers and wholesalers
at this point have not for years been
brought face to face with as big short
age and scarcity of the better cheaper
grades than at the present time.
In relation to prices it is impossible to
hell at the present time what they will
be eight weeks hence. They depend en-
tirely upon the character of the trade
during the intervening time and whether
there Is any reasonable sort of demand.
The trade occupies very indefinite po-
sition just now and is impossible to tell
which way the tide will turn. The
prospects, while not over bright, are by
no means discouraging, and the major
ity OF the lumbermen for good trade
and better prices early in the spring.

A DREAM

Of Santa Claus is indeed
pleasing, but not more
so than an inspection of
our stock of goods. It
costs very little to please
somebody with the pres
ent Of a purchase from
our display OF Holiday
articles, varied as Santa
Claus favors and as at
tractive as a pictu1 e of
pleasure. Pleasant pic
lures they are, too, and
calculated to make many
smiling faces in Madison.
Permit us to say there
is not another stock in
Madison that compares
with ours in magnitude;
not another stock that
can show the variety;
not another stock that
offers the high values at
the low prices. It's to
your interest to know
these facts.
