A BLAMED SIGHT WORSE.

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Wa sitting alone in his room.
His toes with govt were aching.
And his face was o'erspread with gloom
No little ones shouts disturbed him.
From noises the house was free
In fact, from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking.
The servants answered his ring,
Respectfully heard his orders
And supplied him with everything.
But still there was something wanting.
Something he couldn't command
The kindly words OF compassion,
The touch of a gentle hand.
And he said as his brow grew darker,
And he ang for the hireling nurse,
well, marriage may be a failure,
But this is a blamed sight worse!"

SHOCKING BRUTALITY.
An Insane Woman Confined In a Fou
Room For Two Years.

An Insane Woman Confined In a Foul
Room For Two Years.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Authorities
Of Jamaica, L.. l., are investigating q
case of cruelty of which the annals of
Long Island appear to hold no equal.
All through the winter woman was
confined in the cabin of disused scow
which rests in the mud in an arm of
Jamaica bay. She had little to wear,
little to eat and no fire. There was
no bed on which the woman could
rest. The cabin was in almost per-
petual darkness and tae glare of sun
when the unfortunate was taken out
almost blinded her. She is bodily
and mentally affected and is now in
the Emergency hospital in Jamaica
and her husband is being sought for
by the authorities.
The case was brought to the atten~
tion of Deputy Sheriff Sebastian Hes"
tach and he started at once to investi.
gate the report. The story was that
the woman was confined in an old
scOw which lay in the mud of Goose
creek, near what is known as "the
slumps" in the bay. The place is oc
cupied by fishermen of the lowest
class. In one of these huts lives Paul
Kemn. He is fisherman of AZ years
of age. His home is dirty and dark,
but still as good as any of those in the
vicinity. There Kemn lives with his
elk children, all girls. The eldest IS
years old, is married. Deputy Hes
taoh walked to the house and saw the
scow to which his attention had been
directed. He accosted o man who
said Kemn's wife was in the scow
and could not be released as she was
violent. Kemn made living by fl h.
ing and was away from hons most of
the time. Hestach boarded the scow.
door with a couple of Wig
orous kicks and stepped inside.
He discovered the woman lying on
pile OF damp rags in the corner. She
was almost naked. The rags on which
she lay were damp where the water
had soaked through the bottom of the
boat and down through the roof and
sides of the cabin during the rain of
last week. Hestach procured help
and had the woman carried from the
cabin. She was hurried to the Emer.
gency hospital and was too weak on
arriving there to permit of thorough
examination.
The woman had evidently not been
washed for long time. The condi.
tion of her body was beyond descrip.
ton. The hospital nurses and doc
tors were sickened by the stencil. To
all appearances the woman was black
when she entered the hospital. The
application of warm water and soap
resulted in showing that her original
color was white, but the filth had SO

ENGLAND'S BEEF SUPPLY
PREJUDICE AGAINST AMERICAN
CATTLE is ABATING
The Board of Agriculture Will Endeavor
to Protect English Farmers Against
Disease, but Look to America for
a Supply of Cheap Meat.

LONDON. May 29.-On the report of
supply in commons today the subject
of the execution of diseased cattle
came up and Mr. W, H. Lorg said the
agriculturalists were entitled to know
the policy regarding the exclusion of
diseased cattle. The latest informa.
tion from Canada went to show that
the agricultural minister had better
opinion of the health of the Canadian
herds than the Canadians themselves.
If the government insisted upon
slaughter at the port of debarkation
it would do more to cheaper the sup
ply of meat than any other measure
that could be adopted.
Mr.. Gardner, president of the board
of agriculture, repudiated the idea
that the government would exclude
American and Canadian cattle mainly
to maintain the prices of English
stock. The government only desired
to exclude disease. He justified the
right OF the secretary of the colonies
to impart to the agricultural boards
the views OF the Canadian govern
ment on this question. There was
dictation in such procedure as Mr..
Long had seemed to imply. Mr.. Gard.
ner said he could not make any def
nite promises as to what the govern
ment would do 1t would consider the
whole circumstances of the case
from time to time and decide accord
ingly. The prohibition of store cat
tie would probably not have the eff
feet of raising the price of meat far
thing bat it might cause an increase in
the price of the store cattle. The
policy of the government was to pros
tect the agricultural interests against
and danger of introduction of disease
among their herds. If there was any
doubt of disease being imported while
he remained in the office he would
give the doubt in favor of his own
country.

orders. f. r. Gillilano promised 1t
would be done. Grand Editor Thurs
ton was exonorated from all charges
made against him. The offices Of as
sistant grand chief and senior tele-
grapher were created. 1t was de-
cided to organize ladies auxiliary,

that federation of all railway or
ganizations be formed was adopted.

worked into the skin 1t was impossible
to get it all out. The woman became
insane two years ago.
She was put into the cabin on the
scow about six months ago and re.
mained through the winter. She was
fed twice a day and was provided
with nothing to drink except what
was carried to her with her meals.
The woman is 3S years of age. Her
eldest daughter is just half that age.
The other girls are IA, 8, s, 6 and 8
years respectively. Overseer of the
Poor Wyckof took charge of the chill

they had on no clothing.

DIABOLICAL PLOT.

Gang of Florida Negroes Plan Kidnap-
ping Raid on White Women.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 29.-A
special to the Times Union from Pal.
atka, Fla, says: The people of this
section were very much excited over
the discovery of a diabolical con-
spiracy among the negroes to commit
a series of outrages upon white
women A negro preacher, T. A.
Burgess, proposed to number
OF negroes that they should
seizs several nice young white
women and carry them into the
swamp and compel them to submit to
their embraces. The negroes con-
sented, but the whites secured evil
6ence that such conspiracy existed
and took steps to guard their homes.
In the meanwhile the negroes began
to leave the country. One of these to
leave was Burgess, who went to Geor-
gia, where he was apprehended. An
officer returned with the negro, but
was subsequently confronted with be-
tween so and 100 men. Being over
powered, there was no alternative but
to give Burgess up, and the next
morning he was seen hanging from q
limb. The white people are wild with
fear, and it Is believed that more
lynchiDg will speedily follow.

Friday morning the two crews working
east from the Boca tunnel and west from
the Bimetallic Extension shaft on the
Bimetallic drain tunnel, came together
and shook hands. This completes the
first division of the immense tunnel Il
distance of about 1900 feet, and work east

the Extension and west from the Granite

The division completed is an elegant

on Messrs. Balentine & Co., and Wilson

sion the work is being pushed. The tun-
mel is probably the largest in the state.

THE ROAD TO ROYAL
VIEWERS REPORT THE ENTERPRISE
ENTIRELY FEASIBLE.

Interesting Report of Mining Operations
Near Helmville-Granite Butte District.
Successful Engineering ill the Bimetalic
TunneI-The Spotted Horse.
James B. McMaster, Tom Stark and
Charles Williams, viewers appointed by
the county commissioners to examine the
route and report on the feasibility of a
wagon road from Deer Lodge to the
Royal mine and district, returned Thurs
day after weeks work in the country
proposed to be penetrated. They have
satisfied themselves, and will SO report
to the commissioners, that the building
of the road is entirely feasible. Quite
expensive grades will be required at one
or two points, but none are encountered
that ordinary engineering cannot over
come and, in the main, the country is
quite easy of access. They will report
that in their judgment the best route to
be followed is as follows: From Deer
Lodge up the old La Marche creek road;
thence across to and around the head OF
Mullan canvon to the foot Of Rock Greek
lake: thence across the dam and up the
north side of the lake to the cascades
above its head; thence up Rock creek to
the head OF the basin; thence to the head
of Boulder creek and down to the mine.
Until the lake is reached this follows and
is in conformity with the route surveyed
bv Fl. B. Davis last year. Mr. Davis sur
vey runs up the south instead of the
north side Of the lake. The viewers
made the detection at this point after
thoroughly examining each side, because,
in their opinion, both distance and grade
can be saved thereby. The most eXpen-
sive portion of the road would be at the
head OF the lake, where fully 500 feet of
heavy grading would be found necessary.
The distance to be covered is approx
n,atelv eighteen miles. The Importance
Of the proposed road is unquestioned.
Its building would he Of inestimable
benefit to the travelling and business pub
lie and it is earnestly hoped that what
ever action on the part Of the commits
sioners is necessary to its construction
will be speedily taken.

Another rich pocket has been encoun-

ore therefrom is said to run from $4,000
to $4,000 in gold per ton. So far, the
extent of the body is not known, though
sufficient work has been done to demon
strate it is quite large. During the past
ten days more than s150,000 has been re-
moved. But two men are at work taking
out the ore, and the average is $4,000
per day to each man. This ore is not
worked at'the mills, but is shipped to the

structure was burned to the waters edge
Il is impossible to ascertain who the mis-
creants were who set fire to the bridge.
but, coming as it does at this time, when
the government is endeavoring to oper-
ate the road without the regular en-
ployes, the public, whether rightfully or
wrongfu]ly, is inclined to lay the blame
for its destruction TO the strikers, though
it is probable they had nothing whatever
to do with it. Arrangements were at
once made for transferring all passengers
and mail on the arrival of trains at Gold
