IndictIng Derelict Officers.

HAMMOND, Ind, Sept. 27.-Lake
county's grand jury, which has
been in session for nearly three
weeks, returned 100 indictments
against violators of the recently
enactly Nicholson law. The jury
is not yet through with its work
and it is expected that as many
more will be returned before the
session is over. The saloon keep
ers are not the only ones that will
be mentioned in the indictment
list. One provision Of the law is
to the effect that it is the duty
of all police officers, constables and
sheriffs OF the city, township, or
county, to see that the IL o'clock
and Sunday closing law is observed,
and violators OF this feature will be
prosecuted.

Brazilian Deputies Endangered.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The Her
AIDS correspondent in Rio Janeiro
telegraphs that the bill granting
amnesty to:those until lately en-
gagged in revolt against the govern
ment in the state of Rio Grande do
Sui was voted down by the House
of Deputies after debate marked
by a vast amount of excitement.
Large forces both of police and
military were necessary outside
the Legislative halls to keep back
the dense crowd that had gathered
and was apparently filed with a
spirit of dangerous rebellion. The
deputies, when they appeared in
the street, were Missed and insulted
and had it not been for the strong
guard that surrounded they would
undoubtedly have been killed.

a Gigantic Undertaking.

Previous to its embank ment, the
Rhine in its impetuous, constantly
changing course, cast off a profu-
sion of branches that afterward,
on being abandoned by the river,
sank into swamps or dead-water.

such an ancient arm OF the Rhine,
Mannheim is about to convert it
into an "Industrie Hafen," that is,
harbor for Industrial undertak-

led, and retaining the adjoining
lands that at present are almost
worthless, to encourage the es-

Town of Blondes.

Every mau, woman and child
who lives at Point San Pedro, in
Marin county, is bleached
blonde. Even the chickens, dogs,
horses, cats, pigs, and geese are q
bright yellow. The whole place
looks as II it were suffering from
an attack of jaundice.
This peculiar condition Of affairs
is due to the chemicals used in the
powder factory at that place. The
company is engaged in the manu-
facture of a yellow smokeless pow
der that is different from anythin g
in the explosive line ever put on
the market before.
A robust, ruddy-cheeked young
man will go to work in the factory,
and in week he will look as II he
had the jaundice for months. The
changed appearance is a shock to
the friends of the workmen who
are ignorant of the cause, and it is
weeks before the natural color
comes back to his face.
In three days white dog will
be the color Of an orange, and in
three months his color will fade to

TENDING TOWARD PEACE.
SpaIins Attention Called to the Need
of Home Rule.

Havana, Aug. 31.-At a reunion last
night of the leaders of the autonOmist
party an agreement was entered into
providing for an active prOpa ganda
in the interest of the party. Every
effort will be made to bring to the at
tention of the Spanish government the
necessity for the establishment of the
principle of home rule, thus, it is
hoped, satisfying the liberal elements
and putting an end to the
struggle with the insurgents.
By this means it is Thought
the insurgents, who acting in
good faith, have taken up arms
against the government, may be in
duced to surrender. Reports are re-
ceivd here to the effect that the in
surgents have burned the village of
CuatrO Caminos, near Encrucijada,
province Of Santa Clara. A report has
been received by the government Of
ficials to the effect that column Of
General Ruiz troops has completely
routed and dispersed the insurgents
near Guayamarmo. The insurgents
left forty dad and these, according to
reports, were buried by the troops.

Another day will be SCI for their
trial" There was Immediately a
tremendous rush for the bar.
Don't come in all at once" cried
the clerk, who was astonished at the
rush of the liquor dealers. 1t was
like a football game.
Have your $50 ready, please,
again cried the clerk, and there was a
rustic of bills. In very short time
bills were piled a foot high on the
desk in front of the clerk and he was
obliged to call for respite from his
task. 1t was said that at least half
of those on the calendar would plead
guilty and judging by the way the

not too much. Before adjournment
$1,000 had been received and the So

Central City, Col, Aug. S0.-The
flooding of the Americas and Sleepy
Hollow mines has caused the death,
it is believed, of thirteen miners.
Every effort is being made to rescue
the unfortunates, but little hope is en-
tertained. "A little after O'Clock the
water in the lower workings of the
Fisk mine broke through the work

Coursing eastward it struck the Amer
icus, where two Italian miners, whose
names are not known, were at work.
They were drowned. In its course the
water was diverted to the Sleepy HOl-
low mine, FROM the eaStely portion Of
the Fisk vein. Fourteen men were
working in Sleepy Hollow, three OF
whom escaped. A courier was sent to
the adjacent mines and ali of their

first signal of the disaster, and soon

as resembling two shoe cases with the
bottoms removed and fastened to-

at an interval of about two feet, by
slender post at each corner. Ihe

planes, against the bottom OF poth

of the upper sides. 1t is precisely as
if there were four square kites fixed
in parallel planes and sent up to-
gether. The ends of the cells, which,
Of course, are the sides of the kites,

The Big Pacing Race Draws an I'm

New York, Aug. 30.-The contest
between the champions of the pacing
brigade attracted a large crowd to
Fleetwood yesterday afternoon. The
number present is conServatively es-
minated at $4,000 and some enthusi-
asts placed it at $4,000. 1t was quite
a lively speculation, the prevailing
odds being ON Joe Patchen, to 5;
Robert j., to 5, and Gentry 3 to L.
Mascot drew the pole and they went
away On the first heat at a clip that
took them to the quarter in 81 seconds.
Robert j. was a length i'm the lead.
The half was reached i'm 1902: Going
UP hill the third quarter Joe Patchen
made a disastrous break just as Curry
was preparing to make his drive.
Robert J. now looked to have the heat
safe, but a second later he too went
up and Mascot came ON and assumed
the lead five lengths. Robert J., how
ever, quickly recovered, and rapidly
overhauled Mascot, passing him d
hundred yards from the wire and Win
ming amid great applause. In the sec
ond heat Joe Patchen dashed the
hopes of his hackers by a bad break
just after getting the word. When he
recovered he was hopelessly out and
Curry wisely gave him an easy mile.
Again Robert J. swung out
in the lead before Gentry, and Mascot
hanging to his TANKS with grip that

morning fire destroyed the steamer
K. NJ. Hutchinson, in Lake Poygan,
five miles above Winneconne. The fire
was first discovered over the boilers,

several of the crew being quite badly
burned. The boat was valued at
about $4,000 and was insured for only
$4,000. She carried a crew of eight
and woman cook, and belonged to
