Denver is now passing through one
Of the most remarkable crises in the
history Of any American city. In two
months large community has been
plunged from q fancied condition Of
assured prosperity to state of ex-
treme depression. The change has
been so sudden the people hardly real
lie 1t, and no one is convinced that the
new conditions will last long. The
change is due TO the shut down Of the
silver mines.

THE SALMON MARKET.
Another Advance in Prices Looked For
in Alaska Fish.

The market continues fairly active,
says the San Francisco Herald of
Trade. The odds and ends have been
cleaned up on this coast and also n the
east. and as the remaining stock Is in
strong hands dealers need not be sur
prised If another advance in prices is
made by the Alaska Packers Assocla-
ton. Low prices have stimulated con-
sumption. We hear that the outlook is
favorable for a combination Of Column
bia river packers on similar lines Of
the Alaska Packers Association. If this
combination is formed a better ccndi-
ton faffairs can be looked for.
The London Grocers' Gazette Of Feb
ruary 10 reports as follows: The de-
mand continues fair, but the market is
without excitement The Ditton, which
is the second steamer with Alaska sal
mon. has arrived. but with only very
small quantity, and as we mentioned
before. there is very little OF this kind
Of salmon to arrive this season. The
Ditton has also a few cases Of new
Fraser river salmon on board.

BRAEKHus CURES
The Impostor Narrowly Escapes Re
sponsibility for the Death Of
q Sick LADY.

It has leaked out that 1rr. Eraekhus,
during his stay here. took upon himself
to cure the sick, and that as u result of
the imposition Mrs Bue, who resides
on Arch street, had narrow escape
from losing her life. It appears that the
lady had been seriously i'll for some
weeks, and about the time Of Braekhus'
advent here was recovering rapidly un-
der the care of. Dr. Janson. Mrs. Bue
was confined TO her bed for a time, but
had just begun to regain strength and
move around the house when Braelkhus
was brought to her house by some of
his adherents The inspired" one went
into one of his fits, and ordered the
lady, in the name Of the Father, Son
and Holy Ghost, to go to church. She
concluded to make the attempt, but the
exertion proved too much for her, and
she had to be taken home in carriage.
In future the services of a regular ply
sician will be secured IL there is any
sickness in Mrs Bue's household. Mr.
BraeKnus excuse Tor the relapse was
that the lady had not faith enough, and
Mrs. Bue's friends think 1t fortunate
that the imposition was not practiced
before the patient became convalescent,
as the result might have been fatal.
Another instance of the manner in
which Braekhus humbugged the people
is told in Uppertown The impostor was
taken to the residence of a lady who
was suffering from consumption, but
without being told the nature of the
malady which he was expected to cure
AS soon as he saw the patient and
learned the real cause of her sickness,
he coolly announced that the Holy
Ghost had deserted him for the time
being and he could do nothing.

PLEASED SETTLERS.
Popularity of the Recent Decision
Against the Northern Pacific

Against the Northern Pacific.
The news that the supreme court of
the United States had reversed the de-
cision Of Judge Sawyer in the North
ern Pacific land grant case
has been received with pretty
general satisfaction among the settlers
on the Washington side. The lands in
volved are what have been commonly
known as the "lap-lands," lying along
the Columbia, embracing several hun
dred thousand acres the title to which
has been in litigation since 1884. Those
who bought from the railroad company
will now, Of course, be compelled to in
stitute proceedings Cor the recovery of
the money paid by them for their land.
One of the largest holders of this land
is j. B. Montgomery. who had between
10000 and 10000 acres. The Northern
Pacific made a strong fight to retain
and it was doubtless owing
to efforts made by that company that
the removal of Commissioner Sparks
was brought about some years ago. II
was Mr. Sparks who first held that the
title of the Northern lapsed upon the
of the original land grant,
and his head quickly fell beneath the
'ficial ak, Mr.. Cleveland taking the
stand that he was too officious.

Gates of the populist movement have al
ready taken steps to form ring and
fix up slate, and that at the last meet
ing of the Blue Jay club the following
names were suggested for the various
Offices: For senator, Mr.. Fry, of the

representatives, c. w. Shively and ].
w. Walker; county judge, e. G. Lewis;

society is a secret one, it cannot be
stated definitely that reliance can be
placed on the report, which is only
given for what it is worth. Several of
the names mentioned are. however,
those of lifelong democrats, and in all
the mention of their names
in connection with the populist move
ment is without good reason.
