The Pumpkln's Hours for Growing.

A. P. Anderson, graduate student in the department of botany at the state university, has just completed some novel and very interesting in- vestigations as to the growth of plants. In this series of experiments Mir. An derson has been studying the growth of the pumpkin and its vine, making use of his new electrical device for measuring plant growth. This work has been in progress for fully week, and the interesting fact is revealed that the pumpkin itself does most of its growing after seven o'clock in the evening and diminishes its activity as the sun rises and begins to act upon the leaves. From nine o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon the weight of the fruit di- minishes, owing to the evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant. The general results show that when the fruit grows most the vine grows least, and vice versa. The course of these experiments has been watched with great interest by the botanical department, as they cover part of the science as yet very little known.-Min- neapolis Times.

Rich Gold Fields.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-The steam CT Alameda, which arrived yesterday, brought only three passengers from Australia. This was owing largely to the fact that nearly everybody was on the rush to the gold fields of west ern Australia-Co -Coolgardie. While the steamer was in Sydney harbor over a thousand miners arrived from the New Zealand gold fields en route for the new Eldorado. Some of the finds are phenomenal, and in one instance four cuts of rock yielded 555 ounces of gold The Londonderry mine, one of the first discovered, was sold to an EngEsE syndicate for $l, ,250,00o.

Mir. Olney Says His Decision on Election
 Cases in Federal Courts Is Correct.
 WAsHINGToN,O Oct. 27.-Attorney-Gen- eral Olney, speaking to-day of the statement of the assistant district att torney at Kansas City, Mo, that there was no law by which election frauds could be punished in United States courts, said that, without speaking as authoritatively as he would on care full examination of the statutes, he was of the opinion that the Kansas City attorney was correct By the act passed by congress last February repeating the federal election law, congress had done away with all election paraphernalia so far as the United States courts were concerned and had taken away their jurisdiction. At the same time there was no doubt in his mind that state laws were in existence by virtue of which election frauds, whether of registration or voting, could be pun ished in state courts.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-Two more victories on Chinese soil have been placed to the credit of the Japanese forces. The first was merely skirmish, the Chi nese fleeing from their earthworks to batteries lower down the river Yalu, throwing away their arms in their flight The second encounter was sharp and rather bloody, the Chinese finally retiring in disorder.

cattle trail from the Texas ranch lands
to the northern feeding and shipping
stations
Mr.. Matthewson had many desperate
encounters with the Indians IN those
days, but he seemed to bear a charmed
life, and when he united himself to any
of the numerous emigrant trains that
were vending their way over the tortu-
GUS Santa Fe trail it was always with
the result that they were guided across
the plains III safety.
Once he and five Of his men were at
tackled by 500 Indians at his ranch near
this place Through effective barricad-
ing the redskins were held at bay for
three days and were finally repulsed,
upon which the Indians attacked large
wagon train Here 800 men, women
and children were in peril and the par
ty with difficulty held back the Zero
cious enemy. When they were about to
be overcome, Matthewson, the scout,
like another Sheridan, came galloping
through the Indians lines and into the
settlers midst. He was hailed with
cheers, and a new courage seemed to
animate the besieged because of his APP
pearance-
The Indians were finally compelled
to withdraw. and victory came with
the approach Of night to the wearied
immigrants. The Indians left them,
and the train camped in safety for some
days to recuperate its strength. As a
testimonial of his services on this occa-
sion Mr.. Matthewson was presented
with magnificent pair of pistols, with
silver mounted ivory handles. made

was allowed ever after to come and go
