WANTED TO EAT THE CLERK.
Cowboy Lisk Objected to Lunch, But
Had to Put Up with It.

John Lisk, brawny cowboy from Mon
tanar was prisoner at East Chicago Ave
nue. station yesterday. He had been ar
rested by Officer O'Rourk at the LeGrand
Hotel while threatening to clear out the
house.
John Walters, night clerk OF the hotel,
said that Lfsk ordered luncheon put up
for two, naming the articles he wanted.
The order was filled and the bill was 81. 20.
Lisk refused to pay 1t and became abusive.
He proclaimed in clarion tones that he was
a bad man from Montana and that no ten
derfoot tavern keeper could ring in cold
deck on him. When threatened with arrest
Ltsk was represented as having said that
brass buttons and tenderfoot coppers had no
terrors for the untamed warhorse of the
boundless prairies.
Then big Officer o'Rourk was called in.
The scalptaker defied the officer at first, but
struck the trail when the patrol wagon was
called and was locked up at the station
Yesterday Lisk allowed that he had been
around some and didn't propose to pay
three prices for grub stake" He said
he only ordered little bit of lunch for two.
Justice KerstGn had the clerk name the
number and nature of the sandwiches pre-
pared for Lisk and found that no over
charge had been made. Then he fined the
cowboy IS on charge of drum kenness.

JAPAN WILL NSWER.
Special Meeting of the Japanese Ministry
Called to Consider the Offer of the
United States to Mediate.

Washington. Nov. l6.-The state de-
partment has received Information
that special meeting of the japanese
ministry has been called for tomorrow
to consider a final answer 10 the offer
OF the United States to mediate be
tween Japan and China. The delay
thus far is explained by the fact that
the cabinet meets at Toxic, while the
emperor has to be consulted at Hiro-
shima- What the nature of the reply
will be is not definitely known. yet
strong intimations have reached here
that the cabinet will ask that China
either make her offer direct to Japan
or else free it from all doubt specify
ing the exact amount of indemnity
she will pay
The fact was developed to-day that
the TsanC Li-Iamen of China, which
is the council cabinet of the empire.
made n direct request to the United
States that this government offer its
services as mediator. Heretofore it
has been the understanding that the
request from China was that this gov
crnment join other powers in interven-
ing, to which this government re-
Sponded in the negative and offered to
act alone. 1t now appears, however,
hat the Independent action of this gov
'rnment was formally requested by
he TsanC Li-Yamen: it was also de
-elOped to-day that the substantial fea-
ures of the proposition made by the
United States TO Japan is rs follows:
the United States We're in a position
o exercise its good offices in bringing
Ibout an understanding between Chi
IA and Japan. would Japan feel that 1t
would be preiudicial TO her interests
o have such influences eNcrted?
1t is pointed out that this diplomatic
anCuage makes no offer to Japan. but
merely inquiries how she would enter
ain mediation in case the United
states was in a position to offer it.

90 %

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment; as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like pGAidffses.
Although by many believed to be iucura..
Bile, there is the evidence of hundreds OF
living witnesses to the fact that in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but q large per.
6SHlGge OF eases, and we believe, fHI!y 81
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedirgs from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious eSpectoration (includ-
ing tubercular rnatter), great loss of flesh
and extreme euaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease, You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance. been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
q trial of Golden Medical Discovery
but who have been forced to confess that
It surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsious and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
St, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt. whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number OF
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred naladies, have been
sLillfully reproduced in book of I6o
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

SAVED BY SNOW.
Boulder Forest Fires Are Put Out.-Gold
Hill Camp Is Saved.

Boulder Forest Fires Are Put Out-Gold
Hill Camp Is Saved.
Boulder, Nov. 16.-A heavy snow
storm last evening put out the forest
fires before they could reach the larger
mining settlements. Gold Hill, toward
which the flames We're advancing with
such rapidity yesterday afternoon, is
now pronounced absolutely safe. The
fire in eating its way toward that
camp was stopped by plowed field
a short distance west of town.
COuriers coming to Boulder at 8
o'clock last evening reported the fire
out and snow falling fast.
Confidence has been restored among
the residents of the threatened district.
and the Gold Hill people who fed be-
fore the fire have nearly all returned.
The losses cannot just now be esti-
mated. They fall principally on the
ranchers who We're burned out, and on
the smaller mining properties.
The terrible fire that ragged yesterday
and the night previous did untold dam
age to the forests and buildings in its
line Of travel. Gold Hill is saved, al
though the woods surrounding it were
ablaze a large portion of the day. Last
night, between and 10 o'clock, Geo.
Kirkbridge of this city, who had been
at Gold Hill all the day fighting the
fire, returned. He brought the glad
tidings that Gold Hill was saved from
destruction and the panic stricken in
habitants had returned from Big Horn
mountain and Horsefel shaft house,
where they had taken shelter through
out the day, and We're again moving
their household furniture into their
| dwellings
The intense excitement that pre-
vailed during the entire day had sub
sided. and confidence in their ability
| to overcome the fire had returned. The
snowstorm which commenced at d
o'clock was a God-send. and was the
means of saving thousands of dollars
worth of timber that otherwise would
been swept away.
When DR.. /. l.. Bond returned from
the Alamakee mine at Gold Hill he
said the town was doomed unless the
wind changed.
| The fire was sweeping up the Alama-
kee gulch and within 800 feet of the
| large boarding house. but the miners
