A New Mining Fever Coming.

There are indications that all era Of
speculation in gold mining stocks is rap
idly approaching. The great cheapening
of silver has directed renewed attention
to the most precious of metals, and there
has been remarkable increase in its
production during the past year. Cheap
er and better machinery has been in
vented, and new and more effective
processes Of treating ores are being con-
stantly discovered. In consequence
mines that were long ago abandoned as
worthless have been reoponed, and new
ones are being located everywhere in the
gold bearing regions Under the new
order of things a great deal more CAPT
tai is required, and since comparatively
few individuals can be found able or
willing to take the risk of mining in
vestments stock companies must be
formed The result may soon be that
the market will be flooded with mining
securities Louisville Courier Journal

Pioneer Press: There are really no

the most solid of these has been that of
the Astor family, which has been kept
extraordinarily we'll from disintegra

engaged in war to see which can build

most accredited ways OF spending the

possible time are to own a newspaper.
run theater and purchase a yacht. But
to go into competition in the hotel build

Astor fortune will not stand it indetini-
tely. And if this should get into the
hands OF masons, carpenters and other
artisans while the huge hostelries erect
ed were to stand there as monuments tC

cannot say that the country would be

DingbatS.

The Boston Journal gives various
theories as to the meaning Of the word
"dingbats. :" One writer who spent his
boyhood in Maine thinks it means to
spank, because his mother when getting
ready to use the slipper threatened to
put the "dingbats" on him. From Will
barham academy comes the explanation
that it means the breakfast biscuit,
which the students dispose of by stick
ing it to the under side of the table,
throwing it at the heads of other stu
dents or eating it. A Connecticut pupil
states that to receive punishment at the
hands Of the teacher is known as 'get-

phians agreed that it means money, as

with Maine that it means spanking,

Kesists an Improper Assessment

Senator Pettigrew, OF Sioux Falls, has
resisted the payment of taxes on the
technical grounds that the assessment
was improperly made. The Argus-Lead-
er says: The action is brought by Sena-
tor r. T. Pettigrew to set aside the
assessment on certain property on the
ground that the law was not fully COM
piled with when the assessment was
made and is therefore invalid. The
property in question was sold for taxes
and few weeks ago those who bought
the tax certificates gave notice that
they would begin the necessary pro-
ceedings to secure title. Senator Pet
tigrew then announced that he would
resist the payment OF the tax on the
ground that the property was irregu-
larry assessed The property in ques-
ton was assessed, for instance. in this
way, IS. W. 4 OF 5. W. l." Mr.. Fetti-
grew claims that the description should
have read: Southwest one-quarter OF
southwest one-quarter.
If he succeeds in knocking out the
assessment on this technical ground
the result will be very serious one fol
the county as practically all OF the
lands assessed were described by The
figures instead Of by fully spelling ou
various descriptions. Nearly all of the
farmers of the state will thus be able tt
resist the payment of their taxes i
they initiate Senator Pettigrew's exam
pie. and those who have paid will have
good cause for action for refund o
taxes paid under erroneous assessment
The labor of making the description
as Senator Pettigrew claims the.
should be made would be very large
and would ten times double the work o
assessment and the entering of the as
sessment on the books Of the treasure
and auditor.

The construction of city flats is such

are the lowest grades Of sneak thieves.
Anything like originality in their
methods is rare, SO the experience of the
head of modest west side fiat is re-
markable. He arrived home from bust
ness about clock and at once observed
indications that something unusual had
been going ON.
1t was evident that thief had been
around, and that he had gone away
without taking much, if anything, with
him unless it was the residents wife,
for she was nowhere to be found. The
husband presumed that she had gone to
notify the police, so he sat down and
waited, but after an hour or two he be-
came anxious and inquired of the neigh
bcrs.
They had heard or seen nothing either
of thief or wife. Then there was trou

The husband was in a bad state of

presently realize that he needed food.
Rather than go to restaurant he went
to his refrigerator to see what there
might be to eat. He opened the door,
and there, ourled up in the ice chamber,
was his wife. She wasn't hurt She
hadn't even tainted.
She was simply asleep, somewhat
stupefed With the close air and cramp-
ed in every joint, but otherwise in good
condition and glad to get out She ex-
planned that she caught thief at work,
and that he clapped her into the refrig
orator before she could scream. Once
in she could do nothing. There was no
inner handle to the door. She cried
aloud, and finding no response just
waited to be discovered, dreading all

wall did not fit closely around the col

to fix there samples Of fusible metals
which should serve as a gauge of the
temperature attained.
Various samples Of stone concrete and
other materials were also placed in the
chamber within the column. This cham

that the walls of brick, laid in portland

most of the material stone left in the
chamber had been destroyed. The cell.
ing had been lined partly with plaster

A NEW CURE FOR LUNACY.
Some Interesting and Successful Expe!

Some Interesting and Successful Expert
ments by Eminent Specialists of Vienna.
An interesting new method of curing
mental diseases was eXpounded by Pro-
fessor Wagner, head Of the psyohiatric
department. of Vienna university, at a
meeting last week. Tho cure is based
upon TIE fact, frequently experienced,
that mental maladies disappear if the
patient gets another illness Of an entire
ly different kind, particularly fever.
Professor Wagner, following nature s
inexplicable cure, has produced fever in
the insane by applying DR.. Koch's tu-
berculin in grave cases. The effect of
this treatment was that, after every tu-
berculin injection, the insane patient
felt easier, the insanity recurring sew
eral times, but finally disappearing for
good.
Professor Albert, the we'll known sur,
! geon Of Vienna university, corroborated
this testimony by a recent case in his
department. A patient who was suffer.
ing from melancholia had to go through
the operation of TRANSMISSION of blood.
