Senator Faulkner to Canvass the State.

The fact that Senator Faulkner, OF
West Virginia, intends to make a
canvass of his state as soon as con-
gress adjourns led him yesterday to
talk Interestingly about his trip. Il
will have to travel" he said, "eight
or nine hundred miles across the
country by wagon. The state is
well supplied with railways, but they
have not yet gone over the noun
tains. I had no idea of the topo-
graphy of the state unsil l made my
first canvass.
While West Virginia, as you know
is mountainous, yet on the top of
these mountains are the finest farm
ing lands in the South. There are
vasts plateaus from two to three hun
dred miles in length, as level as a
floor and as fertile as the alluyial
lands of the Mississippi Valley.
There are no finer lands in the south,
and the only drawback is early frost.
The farmers have to look out for the
cold snaps"

THE MAYERs FORTUNE IN DISPUTE
A Brother Of G.. w. L. Mayors Arrested
Charged With Embezzlement

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, August Is.
To-day G. f. Mayors, of Stevens
City, Va, started from his home to
go to South America. When he
reached this place he was arrested
by a West Virginia official upon a
warrant sworn out against him by
his brother, George w. L. Mayors,
of Fairmont, charging him with en-
bezzlement. The history of the case
is as follows:
In suit pending in this court,
about eleven years ago, between
Horace Mayors and Sarah E. Mayors
the object of which was to settle up
and distribute the Mayors estate to
those entitled, G. F. Mayors was one
Of the original special commissioners
appointed by the court to sell the
real estate involved George Mayors,
the prosecuting witness in the case
tried to day, was one of the distrib-
utees and charged that his brother,
G. f. Mayors, the defendant in the
trial, had failed to pay over to him.
The case was heard here before
Justice Frankenberry, who decided
that he had no jurisdiction and dis
missed it. Mayors was then arrest.
ed upon a second warrant, sworn
out = to have him taken TO Virginia
and tried, and was held here by the
authorities. The result of the case
promises to be of sensational char
acter, as there are charges and coun-
tercharges that each of the parties
to the suit has Incorporated
funds of the estate Of Stephen May
ers who died in Chile few months
ago worth nearly million dollars.
Mayors was on his way to Chile to
look. after the estate whensArrested.

Stumped His Toe on 81, 200 Pebble.

at would be lucky thing these
panicky times if man, while walk
ing along in reverie, could stump
his toe against a pebble worth 81,
600 and he knew the value of the
stone" said James G. Wicks of New
Mexico, "but that is just the luck
that happened to man down in the
Territory. He was prospecting for
gold, and while walking along a
ledge in the mountains his toe struck
a little blue pebble, and he picked
up the stone to look at il, when he
discovered, on close examination,
that it was turquoise of rare beau
ty and value. 1t was sent to Tiffa-
ny of New York, where it was cut
and polished, and it turned ont to
be one of the finest ever seen ia
America. 1t is worth $4,000. 1t is
of an exquisite blue, the color of the
sky on Il cloudless summer day.
But these discoveries are rare. Men
who find pebbles worth 81, 900 apiece
lying around anywhere are not bruit-
ing the fact over the country; there
fore, many rich finds are kept secret.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that there were old turquoise mines
worked by the Aztecs in New Mexi
co, and the Indians worked the
mines later Indian graves have
been opened there in which were
found a few polished turquoise
beads. Eastern capitalists leased a
turquoise mine few miles from Los
Cerrillos, N. NJ, four years ago, and
several thousand stones have been
produced. This $4,000 turquoise /
spoke of was about the size of blue
birds egg, but thousands of stones
of the same size are found that are
only of small value. Those found
near Les Cerrillos are q beautiful
sky blue, but those in some other
portions of the Territory are of
green color, or more of the tinge of a
robins egg. In earlier times, be-
fore white men entered the continent
the aborigines certainly worked the
turquoise deposits extensively, but
it is only in recent years that any
commercial value has been given
them"

peculiar circumstances. Some weeks
ago Davis noticed that some one was
The money drawer of his

drawer was opened. Early the next
morning they went to the store and
found the dead body of VIM. Watson

gun had shot him through the heart.
For rigging the gun they are held

There is more Catarrh in this sec

few years it was supposed to be incura-

pronounced it local disease, and pre-

stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.

requires constitutional treatment.

The public lands in the West now

The public lands in the West now
unoccupied comprise an area of $780,
100000 acres, and the statement is
made in Congress by Representative
Pickler, of South Dakota, that two
fifths of the entire area of the Uni
ted States consists of arid lands, and
that upon over 600,0O0.000 acres Of
this land crops could be raised if
water were supplied. Mr.. Picker
has introduced bill to provide for
the appointment of non partisan
commission of five persons to inquire
into these desert lands and report
upon the best practical system Of
irrigation. If such a scheme could
be made successful, and there IS
much reason to believe from practi-
cal illustrations Of it in Utah and
California that irrigation will re-
claim the waste places, it would pro-
vide benefaction to humanity be-
yond estimate, In these 100000, 900
acres Of arid land il is stated that
population of more than 30,000,000
persons could be sustained. Not
one half Of one per cent Of this land
ssss been irrigated, ard The results
Of irrigation, as told about in the

afford to lose litter Of fine pigs, whose
mother died last week and left them
helpless orphans, so the two young
