SERVED ON GOULD.
Zclia Nicholas, a Western Woman
Causes Sensation at the Fast
A $4,000 Check.

New York, Dec. Papers were served
on George Gould to-day by the attorney
of woman named Zella Nicholas, charg-
ing him with giving her a check for $4O,-
900 and then forcing her to give it up.
Gould denies knowing the woman, meet
ing her but once, when, he says, she was
an applicant for charity and he gave her
money to get home to Chicago.
AN OLD TRICK.
Wabash, Ind.--Zella Nicholas was born
at Lyttle, Ind, and lived here ten years
ago. Her father is poor and still lives
here. Zella was pretty dry goods clerk
and found the town too slow. She went
to Lagansport, where she made claim
against man named christensen and
settled it for $1,000. She then went to
Kansas City.
OH, SHE HAS A HUSBAND.
Joliet, Ill. - Zella Nicholas formerly
lived here. Her husband was the head of
the leading dry goods store. Fo met
Zella in Chicago, married her, brought
her here and they lived in an elegant
mansion. The woman did not like Joliet

She had not since been heard from until
she was named in connection with the
suit against Gould.

Looking War-Like.

Rome, Dec. 1.-THE Riforma publishes
letter which afiirms positively that
there are 10000 French troops located
between Nice and Barcelonette, with large
advanced posts within a few yards of
the italian frontier. Along the same line
the French forces are being gradually ad-
vanced toward the frontier. There are
immense quantities of war material at
their disposal, and they appear to be pre-
pared for sudden attack. The writer Of
the article calls the attention of the Ital-
ian government to the seriousness of the
situation.

SOME sTATIaTICS.
The census statistics OF home and farm
mortgage debts show New Me1ico's credit
in its fairest light. There are 35,5O4
families within her borders; of these
1887 rent their homes or farms and
24,687 own their homesteads. OF this
latter figure only 72l are under incum-
brance or mortgage, the total value of
which debts is $sGo,793; s373,245 being
on ISL farms and $487,54s on 40 homes.
The average farm mortgage is $l,479, and
the average home debt $l,937. The real
average value of the farms is $i,346, and
the homes $2,891. 1t is perfectly plain,
therefore, why New Mexico is pros
porous.

"The fact stated above that the failures
throughout the territory during this panic
year are less than during an equal period
of 1892, is the best showing to the world
that New Mexico's credit is sound, her
business normal and her prospects good.
One great reason of this is the fact that
New Mexico leads the world in agricul-
ture. She has taken the Worlds prize
for wheat, Russia alone beats her on oats,
and so on down the list, while fruit rails
ing here is more profitable than in any

THE Seattle Post Intelligcncer claims

THE Seattle Post Intelligcncsr claims
that the republican party is entitled to
the credit fer the defeat Of FREQ coinage
in congress. 1t says:
at should not be forgotten that on
the motion TO revive the Bland bill Of
1878, a far more dangerous measure to
all business interests Than the Sherman
law, 100 democrats voted yea and only
1o3 voted nay, &c that N this vital mo-
ton the majority Of democrats voted
against the presidents proposal, and 1t
was saved from defeat only by a vote OF
10 republicans against tho motion,
while fifteen voted for 1t. Over seven
to one Of the republicans voted right,
and a majority OF the democrats voted
wrong. On the first test vote the re-
publicans gave 113 votes for uncondi-
tional repeal and thirteen against it,
Kansas casting three OF the adverse
votes, South Dakota two, Washington
two and Michigan, California, Montana,
South Carolina, lllinois and Idaho cast
ing ono vote each. On the other hand
the democratic vote was ninety-eight
against repeal, with twelve populists,
besides the thirteen republicans"
The Post Intelligenoer speaks by the
record and its statement cannot be dis
pnted.

THE silver fight will be renewed

THE silver fight will be renewed
.RalgNly with the beginning Of the
tQslar session Of congress in December.
The Sherman act may be repealed be-
fore Gov. Richards gets over his hest
fancy about calling an extra session but
M%ontana's vacant place in the United
States senate can be filed in time for
the long session Of congress. The next
twelve months is likely to see the most
important financial legislation that will
be enacted for a quarter Of q century.
Montana, the greatest silver producing
state in the union, must have a voice in
this matter which is Of such vital inter-
est to her people. All talk about the
inability Of the legislature to agree, and
the other thin excuses for non-perform-
ance Of his duty, will o relieve Gov.
Richards from his responsibility to the
people. The opposition to an extra ses-
sion is the work of a little cabal in Hell
ena, Butte and Anaconda. The attempt
is being made to throttle public senti-
ment on this question. A friend Of Gov.
Richards, who is also a tool of a repub-
lican senatorial aspirant, has been trav-
cling about the state fixing" the repub-
lican weekly newspapers 30 far as he is
able but the sentiment thus manufac-
tured is spurious. 1t does not deceive
the masses of the people.

ACCORDING to F. o. Blackwell, whose
paper On electricity in mining, read be-
fore the American Institute Of Mining
Engineers, appears in the last number
Of the Engineering News, there are
more than three hundred companies in
the United States that employ electric
ity in mining operations. Mining men
themselves as yet hardly appreciate the
revolution that electricity is working in
their industry. As Mr.. Blackwell says,
with electricity there is neither friction,
heat nor condensation. There is no
leakage nor loss of power when not in
use. II is not affected by heat or cold,
and it does not vitiate the air or cause
deterioration of timbering. Power is
conveyed for lighting mines and running
cars over distances varying from four to
thirteen miles. The saving in the cost
OF fuel by obtaining power from neigh
boring streams, instead Of getting it
from coal hauled to the mines, is almost
beyond calculation.
There are electric hoists. electric
pumps, electric fans and blowers for
ventilating purposes, electric drills and
electric air oompressors. Fully one
third Of the copper refined in this coun-
try is electrically treated and gold, sill
yer and lead are beginning to be treated
electrolytically. Aluminium, silicon,
caustio soda, sodium, chloride of lime
and vermilion are also obtained by cleo
trio smelling or reducing processes. The
next few years will see still further up
plicatlons Of electricity in this direc-
ton with in%calculable effect on tie
wealth and prosperity Of our mining
states.

The Seattle Telegraph gives a hint
upon which shrewd men will not be
eiow to act: "This is the best time in

are holding on to their cash now will to
sorry in a year that they did not have
faith in the country to use some of it to
pick up the really excellent chances for
investment which tho strlngency has
made available. If every business
house in the United States should 90
into bankruptcy tomorrow the $4,000
people would still live and grow richer.
A little money and plenty of faith if
used now with discretion will mean a
fortune by and by"

following it he grow rich.
