BRITISH FORCE RETIRED.
Came Unexpectedly Upon Much
Stronger Body OF the Enemy.

The following news Of the Chiltral cam
paign has been sent Sir Robert Lows head
quarters at Calcutta, Ind. "a corps of
guides under Col. Battye was instructed TO
destroy the villages in the hills from which a
persistent fire was dropped into camp. The
guides advanced further than Sir Robert had
intended. They discovered two large bodies
OF the enemy approaching and signaled to
that effect.
"Sir Robert signaled back that the guides
should retire at once. This the guides did,
delivering steady fire at the enemy. The
natives were held in check and apparently
suffered heavy losses. Just as the movement
Of the guide corps was completed Col. Battye
fell mortally wounded. He died few min
utes later. The British lost three others
killed and two officers and II privates

Anti-TOxine Free.

Arrangements have been made by
the State Board of Health by which
the physicians of Massachusetts, will
be provided with anti-toxine free of
charge. To physicians attending a
diphtheria case within tive nty-five
miles of Boston it will be supplied on
personal application and for the con-
venience of more distant parts local
agencies at public hospitals and muni-
cipal health offices will probably be
established. Each bottle will be num-
bered and marked with date of pre-
paration of contents and issued by the
State Board under pledge that q
statement of its effects will be re-
turned to the board at the termination
of the case.

Ancient Hat Box Returned,

The razing of the old building
numbered SO, 3S and 40 Faneuil Hall
square at one time used by the British
AS a theatre, has brought to light many
old relics. A few days ago, while the
workmen were engaged in tearing
down the top story of the old building
there fell to the floor an old hat box,
such as is used in carrying around a
tall silk hat. The box was picked up
and it was found to be made of heavy
sole leather, thickly padded on the in
side. In the centre was sort of
opening where could be slowed away
the wig and other things worn by the
British dandy in old times. From ap.
pearances the box must have been
slowed up in the rafters of the build
ing fully 100 years, as there are
number OF government seals on the
top of the cover such as were used in
those days. The frame of the box is
of heavy iron and it could be thrown

The Agricultural Department has
recently published tabular state
ment which it calls IAN attampt to
show the worlds wheat production for
the years 1891 to 1894" The totals
indicate a steadily increasing supply,
from 2,a69, TAG, 900 bushels in 1891 to
$3.50, 12l, 900 in 1894. Unfortunately,
however. states the New York Times,
the estimates Of the crops in this
country are those which were long
ago rejected. Everybody knows that
for the last four years our wheat crops
have been very much underestimated
by the department. The actual ex-
cess over the departments figures for
the two crops for 1891 and 1892 was
about 100. 900. 900 bushels. The crop
of 1893 was larger by at least so, 900,
900 bushels than the quantity which
the department reported. By almost
universal consent the official report
for the last years crop is at least 40,
900, 900 short OF the actual yield. II
the departments figures for this
country be corrected, however, in ac-
cordance with the estimates now gen.
orally received, the increase of the
worlds crop will still demand atten'
ton, the total growing from 2, 453,'
00O,O bushels in 1891 to 2, ,645, 000,
900 in 1894, and this increase has had
some effect upon prices. The growth
of the supply in South America and
Russia especially calls for considera
tion:

The intensity of interest in oil speculation
in Ohio increases hourly. Land Is being
leased in all directions and the drill will be
pushed with a vengeance. Drillers and tool
dressers are in good demand and the oil
fields are alive with workmen-in fact, they
are putting in extra time. The advance in
price not only affects Toledo, but the great or
portion of northwestern Ohio and the towns
along the oil belt In Indiana. The raise has
inaugurated new era OF prosperity over the

There is an exciting battle in pros
pect between the great companies en-
gagged in the electrical Transmission of
messages. The Standard Telephone
company is the last in the field. State
ments have been made that the Bell
people have sort of mortgage or
priority of possession on the subways.
As matter of fact they belong to the
city and there is room In them for the
wires of 80 telephone companies if
they are willing to pay the price-SS00
a year mile for cable containing
700 wires One of the most import
ant events of the future is the impend-
ing split between the Western Union
and the Bell companies. The Bell
company is based on fraud. Bell did
not lnveit the telephone. The COM
pany mad contract with the West
ern Union sy which it kept to tele-
phony and the Western Union to tele-
graphy, each corpSr".iuu cuuU5linS 49,
rights i'll appliances ana PATENTS to the
other. As II consideration tho Bell
people agreed TO Fay the telegraph
corporation 30 per cent of their net
earnings. Look Mt the way in which
they have behaved. The parent COM
pany has capital Of $50, 600, 600 but
the total capitalization OF all the com
panies in which it shares is S4O0, 600,
900. 1t, however, pays the Western
Union profits based only on the $50,
| 900, 900, although the Bell clears
81, 600, 600 net year.
Five bills were introduced in the
House, during the year 1894, the pur-
pose of which was to perpetuate this
great outrage upon the public. For
| tunately, the decision rendered in the
month of March, 1895, by the United
States Supreme Court, in the Bate
Sulzberger case, removed all possi-
bility that the Bell Company might
proloug its monopoly seventeen years
longer by any means.
In this case, at least, the Supreme
| Court has vindicated itself rs the de-
fender of the constitutional rights OF
the American people. AS near as can
| be judged from the methods OF the
agents of the Bell Company at Wash
ington, for the last ten years, their AS
sumption has been that the wishes o.
the Bell monopoly would constitute
law in the opinion of the United States
Supreme Court, as we'll as in the
| United States Patent Office, and OF
the floors of the United States Cong
ress. Whatever may be unearthed n
to the pressure which may have beer
exercised to effect this result, the
amazing and scandalous fact still stare
MS in the face that the Berliner tele
phone patent was delayed in its jour
ney through the Patent Office unit
the original patent to Mr.. Bell wa
about to expire. Before the end o
the century venture to say there vii
be 100, 900 telephones in use in Ne'
York city.

The sight of women in bloomers

men in the same business, would not
be surprise to the Knights of Labor
in this city. Determined efforts are
being made to organize the working
women here, as they are plac ID in COM
petition with the sterner sex more and
more every day. The only busi-
ness they have not invaded SO far is
climbing of telegraph poles to string
wires, but with the advent of the BIZ
cycle bloomers there's no telling what
may occur. Possibly the over-worked
linemen may yet have TO compete
with their sister toilers. When the
Lady Wire-Stringers" are organized
if ever they should be, they will pro.
badly apply for separate charter, ON
the ground that they are purely a
trade organization.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
The New Era

Nevada is about to see New Era
The fact is assured by the sign Of the
times. Eastern Nevada is now in a
prosperous condition from the fact
that the De Lamar mines have pro-
duced all that the parties interested
have expected, in the September run
at that camp the profits to the mine
owners amount to $4,000. Many peo-
pie are gong to the camp and new
property is being developed. Thous-
snds of dollars have been invested,
and thousands are now coming back
to repay the confidence placed in that
portion of Nevada's mineral wealth.
On the heels of the De Lamar SUCCESS,
Southern Nevada jumped into prom
inence with the Silver Star District.
Ed Brown, the original discoverer, was
poor man. He went into the noun
tains with little else than a pick and
shovel, and can now sign checks for a
goodly sum. The camp has produced
many thousand dollars worth of gold
and is hardly prospected as yet.
Nye country is rushing to the front
with good gold claims and it's quartz
and placer mines are being watched
with keen interest by capital from the
East. Pine Grove not many miles
from here is also in furnishing con-
ditlOn. The Wilson Bros, who own
the perperty hardly miss a month
without Il shipment of $4,000. This
has been strictly poor mans mine
and has put the owners %on velvet"
Bob Logan and Col. Boyle have more
than prospect at Como. The crop
pings at that place are the largest and
best defined ever known, and the day
Is not far distance when the whistles
OF big mining works will be echoed
through the canyons leading to the
old Comstock. Como is little further
than the Comstock and Nevada's Cap
ital and its benefit can be readily
seen. The sale of the Buckeye dis
trict is by far the most important that
has taken place in Nevada in many
years.
1t puts men in control of the prop
erty that have money to go ahead
with and who are practical Mr.. Lane
is thorough practical man. He was
the man who brought water from the
Blue Lake to Angel Camp Cal, dis.
lance of 70 miles, and the property
has paid from the start.
The sale has placed several of Car
sons best citizens in comfortable cir
cumstances, and most of the parties
who have received money from the
transaction have other mining prop
erty which can now be developed.
The sale in itself is a help to every
man that has claim i'll this part of
the world and the fact that Messrs.
Hobart, Lane and Hayward have out
bid Chicago capital in the purchase
OF Nevada's property, will open the
eyes Of the people East of the Rock
les, to the unpleasant fact that gold
mines are wanted as much by West.
ern men as Eastern parties.
There is now left for the Eastern
capital another good district which
is held by poor men and that is Pine
Nut. These mines all show the true
color and with water it can be made
just as good ground as Buckeye. Be-
fore Spring parties with money will
be over the ground looking for a
chance to get in. The New Era is
here and Nevada will take it's proper
place before the world once more
