One Of the curiosities of Brazil is a
tree whose wood and bark contain so
much silica that they are used by pot
tiers. Both wood and bark are burned,
and the ashes are pulverized and mixed
in equal proportions with clay, produc-
ing a very superior ware. The tree
grows to height of 100 feet, but does
not exceed a foot in diameter. The fresh
bark cuts like sandstone. and when dried
is brittle and hard. -Demorest Mage

McKINLEY's INSULT TO LABOR.

Bill Monopoly Mckinley has good
reason to regard labor with more re-
spect to-day than heretofore. The
return of that SO bill he sent TO the
miners committee will prove to the
fatted calf of plutocracy that labor is
not the abject slave he had supposed
it to be.
McKinley's hired men and press
say the return of the SO to the mo.
nopoly tool was an insult. The offer
of SO by Mckinley was the insult.
1t was an insult to labor on two
grounds. First, it was All insult for
such Il traitor to American labor rs
Mckinley to carry his duplicitylto the
point of pretending to be it's friend
and benefactor. The idea of Mckin-
ley employing the military machinery
of the state to help bloated coal barons
to enslave labor, and ut the same time
expecting that labor would not see
through his thin mask of pretended
friendship, was a piece of fool folly on
the part of the Governor. Second,
had Mckinley been friend of
labor, the offer of SO to help out 3OO,-
600 miners and their families was an
insult. 1t was not with pitiful $40
that plutOcracy came to the aid of
Mckinley when he was caught in the
monopoly trap. When Mckinley
proved his utter lack of business
knowledge and fooled away his own
money and his wife's. too, the pluto
Gratis came down with $4,000 to help
him out. Now il it requires $4,000 of
Il donation and salary of $4,000 a
year to keep the wolf from McKin-
ley's door. what would $40 amount to
distributed around among the miners
and their families, aggregating over
100000 souls?
The miners cannot be blamed for
resenting the insult offered them by
this tool of plutocracy who expected
to secure their good will and induce
them to put him in the Presidential
chair for meager SO. We are
forced to regard this mistake of Nc
Kinley's as further evidence of his
utter lack of business ideas Toledo

quently based on imperfect knowledge.
"What on earth was that whistle blow
ing for all night?" asked a girl of
twelve years of her mother while on
sound steamer. "That is fog horn,
my dear" was the reply. The little
girl, of course, wanted to know what a
fog horn was, and her mother. eX-
planned that when there was heavy
fog the team whistle was blown while
it lasted But why?" persisted the
young inquirer. 81 should think that
anybody could sec there was a fog, and
what is the use of blowing a whistle
to tell them about it. when there it is
if they want to look at it?" The poor
mother sighed and gave it up.

why do Cattle BIoat?

The Southwest Stockman asks the
question: Why do cattle bloat on
alfalfa feed? Inquiry shows that in
all cases the practice has been to cut
the alfalfa and feed it wilted. The
explanation given by veterinary sur.
geons is that the wiltcd alfalfa gen.
crates a gas within the stalks that
causes bloat in the cattle. The bloot
can be relieved by sticking or bv
pulling the tongue out and throwing
handful of salt down the throat.
When cows browse in standing alfalfa
they cat only the tops of the plants
which seldom causes bloat. Every
alfalfa field should have a stack OF
straw within easy access of the COWS.

rs VERY SANGUINE.
No DOUBT BUT THE STATEHOOD
BILL WILL PASS.
Nothing Can Prevent the Offering
of Amendments to Hasten the
Date of the Admission of the Ter
ritory to Statehood-BiII for a
Bonded Warehouse.

Washington, May Especial. l-Sen-
ator Dubois said, today, that so far as
he could discover, there was not the
slightest opposition in the Senate on
either side, to the Utah statehood bill.
He believed the measure will be passed
this session; but doubts if any of the
other admission bills will get through.
Nothing can prevent the offering of
amendments changing the dates, so
that Utah can come in sooner than pro-
vided in the reported bill, and some
friends of Utah think the Democratic
leaders can be induced to agree to
such amendments.
However, action of any sort will be
preferable to postponing the matter
until the next Congress.
Senator Dubois, today, introduced a
bill appropriating $4,000 for the con-
struction of a bonded warehouse at
Bonner's Ferry, Ida. He has had passed
the bill making Bonner's Ferry port
of entry.

Spokane. Wash. May ia Review
special from Wallace says an industrial
was shot through the left arm this
evening one mile below Wallace, by a
deputy marshal, said to be Governor
McConneHs son, while attempting to
board the incoming Northern Pacific
train, on the narrow guage. He had
been thrown from the train and was
throwing rocks at the deputy at the
time of the shooting.
This, coupled with the fact that four
companies of United States troops from
Fort Sherman will arrive here tonight,
has caused some excitement, but the
Coxeyites are making no demonstra-
lions.
The regular train to Missoula was not
sent out this morning as usual, the en-
gines being taken over the hill last
night to prevent the 'wealers from
stealing the train.
Forty-five of them boarded a North
ern Pacific train at Kingston early this
morning, but the engine was cut loose
and taken to Wardner Junction. After
this, most Of them came up on a hand
car.
There are nearly hundred in town,
and more are coming, but no trouble
is expected.

Miners.

Spring Valley, Ills, May 19.-Num-
bers /, 2 and of the Spring Valley
company's mines, in this city, are on
fire at the bottom and the company
this morning asked the strikers to al
low the men to go to work extinguish-
ing the flames A meeting was called
and, by a close vote, it was decided
not to allow the men to go down.
The meeting was about to adjourn
when Vice-President Murray, of the
state miners organization, arrived.
He strongly urged a reconsideration of
the vote. He said such action as they
had taken was putting club in the
operators hands by which their cause
would be defeated.
In spite of Murray's circumstances,
the miners adjourned without recon-
sidering the vote. and the French an
archists set up a shout of Let them
burn Tear them down. etc.
The operators are determined to have
the fire extinguished. if they have to
import men. If they do, there will
likely be trouble. The foreign miners
are all very hot-headed, and are ter
ribly agitated. The English-speaking
miners are all in favor of putting out
the fire, but they are in the minority.

DECKER RELEASED.
How an Innocent sIan Had Il Narrow
ESCAPE.


Yreka, Cal, May 19.-The cloud which
has hung over George Decker, the
Yreka rancher. for two weeks. was
cleared up today by the arrival of his
wife and daughter. whom he was ac-
cused of numbering years ago. The
case is a most remarkable one.
Twenty-seven years ago, Decker's
wife and young daughter left Yreka
and shortly afterwards he obtained
divorce. About two weeks ago, some
boys found a heap of bones in a cave
near Decker's place, and the citizens
of the community jumped to the con-
clusion that they were the remains Of
Decker's wife and baby, who had dis
appeared twenty-seven years ago.
Decker could not prove that they were
not, as all the people who had seen his
wife depart from Yreka were dead.
He was arrested and accused of
numbering nearly every person in the
vicinity of Yreka who had died sud
denly or had disappeared for number
of years. The murders charged to his
account by credulouS citizens,
amounted to ten and he was looked
upon by his neighbors as monster OF
iniquity.
They were barely prevented from
lynching him, after his arrest. Decker
claimed innocence and his attorney set
to work to find the missing woman and
child. He found them living in Colusa,
not 200 miles away, totally ignorant of
Decker's peril. They arrived at Yreka
today and Decker was discharged from
custody.
Both he and his wife had married
again and raised families, and tonight
family reunion was held at which
Decker's escape from danger was cele-
brated
