PRAISED KANSAS CORN.
A Rock Island Official Tells Californians
of the Big Corn Crop.

A Rock Island OmoIaI Tells Californians
the Big Corn Crop.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 6-Warren G.
Purdy, second vice president secretary
and treasurer of the Chicago, Rock ISL
and & Pacific railroad, is in the city with
his family, and Charles Kennedy, gener-
al western passenger agent of the COM
pany at Omaha. They are here en- route
to Alaska on pleasure trip.
Speaking of the system of roads with
which he is connected, and the country
they cover between Chicago and Denver
and Fort Worth, he said: "kansas
is going to have the greatest corn
crop in her history as state. Four
years ago she made her biggest record
in that line with 27O,0JO,OOO bushels. On
my trip west heard some competent
critics enthusiastically say that 4O0,-
100000 bushels would be the record for
this season.
This is somewhat of an exaggeration,
1 think, and yet firmly believe the yield
will be somewhere between 100000, 600
and 300 000, 900 bushels"

Los ANGELES, CAL. Aug. 6-During
the last month all but one member of
the police commission of this city have
handed in their resignation. The coun-
Gil has tabled the whole bunch. The last
one came last night. when Commissioner
Pirtles resigned. This leaves Com
missioner Fields alone.
The ministerial association and the
newspapers have been fighting the COM
mission on account of its handling of the
social evil. Each one has presented a
plausible excuse. 1t is believed that the
ministers have been too much for the
commissioners, and virtually forced them

AMERICAN TURoUoIsEs.
Gems w hich We Mine Extensivelyand
which Were Mined in Mexico.

Although the United States cannot claim
to be considered one of the great gem
producing countries of the world, almost
every known variety OF precious stone has
been found within its limits, says the New
York World. Few gems, however, are COM
mon enough to be of decided commercial
Importance, and systematicminingi is rarely
carried on. The only exception to this is
afforded by the turquoise. The last edition
of the Mineral Resources of the United
States" gives the value of the rough gems
of all kinds produced here during 1898 as
amounting to S264, 041-of which S143,-
1876 goes to the credit of the turquoise mines.
Almost all OF the American turquoise
comes from Santa Fe County, N. Mex, or
Mohave County, Ariz,
As In Persia, the turquoise, both In New
Mexico and In Arizona, occurs in veins per-
meating volcanic rocks, a yellowish brown
trachyte being the commonest matrix. The
Pueblo Indians find them an easy way of
making money, as they can be obtained
with little trouble and after being subjected
to rough grinding, can be readily sold to
travellers. Formerly, when the Indian was
more unsophisticated, choice stones could
be obtained from theal at an outlay of a
few cents, but of late years the sellers have
begun to realize the value of their goods,
and now few real bargains can be secured.
The ancient inhabitants OF MEXICO mined
the turquoise extensively and the invading
SpanIards found it largely used to incrust
human skulls and also to inlay mosaics
and TO decorate obsidian ornaments. Traces
of the old mines can be found TO this day
and rubbish heaps are common In the
turquoise district. III the Arizona mines
they tell how, on a tunnel being run
through q turquoise deposit, the miners
came across the remains of more ancient
tunnel. its top and sides rent and caved in
as If by an earthquake, while IN a small
space three or four feet each way, was the
skeleton of an unfortunate Aztec, who had
been imprisoned there by the falling in
of the roof. In one hand the skeleton still
clutched the handle of his old mine hammer
and at his side was leather bag con-
tanning, as the discoveries found, several
choice stones. 1t only shows that in the
old days men would take as big risks in
search of treasure as they will now.
Another tale of turquoises drifts up from
Yucatan. 1t tells of an Idol in an ancient
temple around whose neck. arms, and
ankles are hung strings of magnificent
turuuoises. while each of its eyes is
single large stone. The narrator,
Mexican miner. claimed that these eye
stones were about three inches in their
largest diameter. There is something In
this story irresistibly suggestive of Rider
Uaggards idols.

The free" Mountains in Arkansas.
The Ozark country In Missouri and Ar
kansas has been attracting the attention
of the st. Louis Globe Democrat, and it has
printed an excellent series of letters from
this little known region. In clearing up err
rors in Its last letter its correspondent
writes: The general impression of the rest
of the country about Arkansas is strangely
erroneous" said Gen. Powell Clayton. IT
told cousin Of mine In Philadelphia one
time that we had mountains In Arkansas.
He denied 1t. Why he said, that's not
SO. Arkansas is low and flat. tits swampy.
1t has levees to keep the river from over
flowing the land And that is the idea peo-
pie In the East and North have of this State.
The fact is we have In this part of the State
a different climate, a different people,
ern part of the State. The difference is as
great as IL q thousand miles lay between
the mountains and the alluvlal sections of
Arkansas The political troubles with which
Arkansas has been afflicted have occurred
IN the lowlands Elections are as fair up
here as they are anywhere in the United
States. Look at that lawn out there. Blue
grass will grow all over these mountain
sides. About one half of Arkansas is mount
ainous. Northern people will hardly accept
that. The other day went out to Fayette-
vile to a Grand Army reunion and found
1000 or 5000 people assembled. This

wasps and Suicide,

man, being curious to see the effect of
benzine on a wasp, put some of 1t under
a glass in which wasp was imprisoned.
The wasp Immediately showed signs of
great annoyance and danger, dartjng at
a piece of peer which had introduced the
benzine Into us cell By and by he seemed
to have given up the unequal contest In
despair, for he lay down on his back, and,
bending up his abdomen, planted his sting
shrice into his body, and then died. NJ.
Henry allowed his scientific interest to
overcome his humanity SO far as to repeat
the experiment with three wasps, only to
find the otber wodid likewise. Heis, there
fore, of the opinion that wasps, under des-
perate circumstances, commit suicide.
