One OF the Louisville papers Yesterday
revived the runaor that the Big Four people
had decided to parallel the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern from North Vernon to
Louisville, stating that a special meeting
OF stockholders had been called for Feb
8 to ratify the boards determination. An
official of the Big Four was seen last even
ing and asked about the matter He said
that arrangements have already been made
with the Baltimore n Ohio Southwestern
to use their tracks, after June /, from North
Vernon to Watson, and from Watson to the
new bridge the Big Four will have its own
tracks and an entirely Independent plant
in louisville, in which the Chesapeake q
Ohio Will be interested as well as the Big
-Four. 1t Is now expected to have the bridge
over the Ohio complete to commence train
service by June /, and before the bridge is
complete the track will be built from Wat
son q, the bridge at JefYersonviile and the
yards and station on the Louisville side in
shape to commence doing business. He
thinks that the rumor of special meeting
grew out OF the one called by the Chesa-
peake a. Ohio for that date TO vote on the
question of becoming partner in the bridge
and other terminals which the Big Four
contemplates. The\officiai said that If there
Is anything in the rumor of paralleling the

Miss Kate G. Wilkins, who en-
joys renown throughout the West
as the Idaho horse queen, is de-
scribed as an attractive young wo-
man, not more masculine in appear
ance than it is now quite correct for
girl to be. She journeyed from
her home to st. Louis recently to
sell 5000 horses, and the dealers
who met her found her tall, state
ly young person, with blue eyes,
blonde curls, a tailor made gown
that bore the stamp of London, and
bonnet that was plainly the pro-
duct of Paris. Her father was a
cattle dealer, and Miss Wilkins
used to accompany him when he
went to sell his horses. Soon she
learned to drive better bargain
than he. Since his death she has
managed the ranch, which en-
braces thousands of acres along
the Snake river; has superintended
the farming on several hundred
acres, and has attended to all de-
tails of buying, selling and raising
the horses. At the same time she
has the accomplishments of we'll
educated girl, and is not yet thirty
years old.

Cotton fro,a Fir Vveod

Artificial cotton, says Paris
journal, resembles the natural pro-
duct in this, that both are formed
of cellulose, nearly pure; and, as
nature has prepared cotton by
means of the elements of the air and
soil forming the cellulose in fine
fibers by means Of secret forces, and
offering it in the state of wood to be
transformed into what is required
oft, so the chemist in his laboratory
takes the natural cellulose of the
tree and separates it from the sub
stances with which it is combined,
transforming it into threads by
means Of suitable appliances. For
this purpose fir wood is employed,
this being submitted to series of
mechanical and chemical operations
and the threads are drawn out,
afterward being rolled on bobbins;
the material when manufactured
resembles ordinary cotton, though
having slight defect, which can
be easily corrected-that is, it is a
little less solid than natural cotton.
On the other hand, however, the
new substance is worked and woven
easily, it can be dyed as readily as
natural cotton, and when passed
through a weak solution of tannin
and certain other reagents, it will
take every shade of artificial colors,
and can be dressed and printed on
just as are the tissues of natural
cotton.

Got HIS Change.

In all banks there is usually an
accumulation of counterfeit coins,
and with them Cincinnati banker
turned a unique trick an a sharper
a few days since. A stranger rush

looked at the bill a moment, hesi-

turned, handed the sharper five

The Mining and Scientific Press
gives the following concerning min
ing assessment work.
The work is estimated by the
days work at the ruling local rate.
No decision permits trail or road
work to apply on the required
amount of annual work on inn
provement. Work must be on the
claim itself, or, If on other ground,
with direct relation to it. No al
lowance is made for time or expense
going to or returning from the
claim. In this matter of assess
ment work, the attention of holders
Of unpatented mining claims in
this State is directed to an act
passed by the California Legisla-
ture March 81, 1891, which pre-
scribes that when the required
amount of annual labor or improve
ments is put on an unpatented
mining claim, the owner shall with
in thirty days file with the county
recorder an affidavit describing the
labor performed, the improvement
made and its value. The act pro-
vides that failure to do so renders
the mine open to relocation.
The Supreme Court of Utah
holds that a locator of a quartz
claim, who has allowed his location
to lapse and become subject to re-
location, under the statutes provid-
ing for the relocation of claims on
which the required annual work
has not been done, has the right to
make new location, covering the
same ground.
The Supreme Court of the State
Of Nevada denies that one partner
cannot claim an interest in a claim
located by another under an oral
agreement that they should be part
ners in all such locations, when no
trust arises because partnership
capital was employed in locating
the claim.

"Come, be brave now! Don't dis

A story or Monte Carlo.

In the good old days of M. Blanc
it was the custom, SO the story goes,
directly a suicide was found to stuff
his pockets full of bank notes. This
was done to prove that his losses at
play we're not the cause Of his hur-
ried departure from the shores Of
time. The last person who received
this generous treatment was, | be-
'lieve, an American. He was found
lying in one Of the quiet alleys of
the beautiful grounds, with an
empty bottle labeled "Poison" by
his side. The secret agents of the
bold Blanc instantly stuffed his
pockets full Of gold and notes, pre-
paratory to giving information to
to the police. No sooner had they

Revenge Is sweet.

1t takes bright woman to rebuke
another woman's rudeness, a general
statement well borne out by a story
from the Atlanta Constitution.
A lady entered a railway train
and took a seat in front of newly
married couple She was hardly
seated before they commenced max
ing remarks about her.
Her last years bonnet and cloak
were fully criticised, with more or
less giggling on the brides part,
and there is no telling what might
have come next if the lady had not
put a sudden stop to the conversa-
ton by a bit of strategy.
She turned her head, noticed that
the bride was considerably older
than the groom, and in the smooth
est tones said:
"Madam, will you please have
your son close the window behind
your"
The "son" closed his mouth and
the bride no longer giggled.

AN INTERESTING RECITAL.
From the dtackcttstown, n. J.,, Republican.

From the lIackettstown, n. J.,J Republican.
Reports from time TO time reached the Re
publican of the remarkable cure of Mrs. Jacob
Shields, the wife of our leading coal merchant,
who has been suffering from q complication of
diseases that nearly resulted i'm her death. In
order to verify these statements, one of our re-
porters called upon Mrs. Shields and found that
the reports we've in no way exaggerated, and
that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
had saved her life.
The particulars of the case, are these: 81 was
taken sick, )" said Mrs, Shields, with typhoid
fever, and was delirious forthree weeks. When
| recovered / suffered untold agony with my
back and right limb. They felt as though they
would burst. At the same time / suffered
dreadiully with my kidneys. Blood would
pass from me most of the time. My mother
was with me and friend of hers called and
told her of the sickness they had passed
through at her home, and that DIR. kennedy's
Favorite Remedy had been used by them, and
she felt sure ! would find great benefit from its
use.
A bottle was purchased, and hadn't taken
but few doses before ii began to relieve me,
and in a few days some small, sharp, white
stones passed from me. That evening the
doctor called, and | told him that had stopped
his medicine, for he had told Mr.. Shields the
last time he called that hc did not know what
more to do for me. Some time before this, l
was taken to the hospital, and then brought
home, as was supposed, to die. DIR. David Ken
nedy's FavOrite Remedy was taken Just in
time do thank God from the bottom of my
heart that he ever sent that lady here to tell
me of Favorite Remedy, otherwise death would

Shields, "in regard TO my illness, feeling that
others who may be suffering will be benefited
by using DIR. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy"
No tribute could he greater than these words
of Mrs. Shields, who voluntarily tells the story
of her remarkable recovery.
Favorite Remedy ranks with the medical
profession, as the most perfect of all blood and
nerve medicines. 1t will cure all diseases of
the skin, liver and kidneys, and the weak

WEST VIRGINIA THIRD.
The State Next to Pennsylvania and ohlO
In Coal Production.

In Coal Production.
CHARLEsToN, W. Va, Jan. 21.-Tbe
report of the commissioner of labor
shows that West Virginia is now third
in the production of coal among the
states and second in the production of
coke Pennsylvania and Ohio lead in
coal and Pennsylvania in coke. Kama
wha and Fayette counties alone produce
one-twenty- seventh of ali the coal mined
in the United States, while in 1893, de-
spite the strikes and business depression,
the state produced within a few thou
sand of 100000 tons e. coal. The
acme was reached in 1892, when the
production was nearly II, 900, 900 tons.
The outlook for the present year is that
1t will outstrip 1892. The rapidity of
this growth Of coal production is shown
by the fact that in 1878 the production
was less than 1,000, 900 tons. The rate
of increase in coke production is still
more remarkable. In 1884 the total pro-
duction was 228, 900 tons, while last year
it was Q, ,42S, ,055 tons.
1t is found that the area of hardwood
timber in West Virginia is not only
greater than that of any other state in
the Union, but is greater than that of
any single political subdivision of the
globe There lies within her borders
one-third of all the poplar timber in the
United States. The production last year
was: Poplar, l25,000, 900 feet; hard
woods, other than poplar, 10000, 900
feet; spruce and pine, 150, ,000, 900 feet.
Notwithstanding this it is estimated
that the present output may be kept up
for 40 years without any material dimin-
ution of the supply.

Hatch, minister of foreign affairs Of the
Hawaiin republic, has sailed for Homo.
lulu. Mr.. Hatch is rushing home to
lend his assistance to his government.
He deplores the condition of affairs AT
Honolulu, and declares that Hawaii has
many important questions TO deal with
in its coming history. incidentally il
was learned from friends of the minis
ter that the japanese question is be.
coming serious one and that the pro.
visional government has not only had
the royalists to deal with, but it has
also had to use force to suppress an up
rising of japanese labOrers on the plan
tations of Eva. Eva is q 20,000-acrt
grant, situated 10 miles back Of Hon.
olulu.
Several days before the revolt, headed
by Wilcox, 200 japanese on the planta.
tion named made AN attack on the over.
seer, who was nearly killed. Several
white men were pretty badly beaten by
the rioters and the police had TO be
called on for protection.
"The japanese, fear, will overrun
the country, " said the minister. Every
vessel from Japan brings in large
number of laborers, and the japanese
are coming to think that they are al
powerful. They are quarrelsome and
vicious"
"Wilcox has been stirring up strife
for long time. 1t is true that great
many of the royalists are English sub
jects This may lead to complications
but am convinced that Englishmen are
sensible enough to know that there are
no other courses to pursue but to punisl
conspirators, whether the offenders bt
