HE STRUCK 1T RICH
BILL DOVES GETS TO BE A MILL
I0NAIRB N COLORADO.

His Income from a Gold Mine at Cripple
Creek this Year Will be Half a Million
and Yet He was a Common Policeman
OF Wichita at One Time-In Early Days
He Guarded the Douglas Avenue Bridge
to Prevent Cowboys from Bringing
Arms into Town-How He was Named
RattIesnake Bill.
William Doves. the rising gold king
Of Colorado, was a Wichita man.
Nearly everybody who reads the pa
pers viii remember that few days
ago William Doves made a years lease
on his mine at Cripple Greek for the
handsome sum of half million dollars.
1t is said that ne has already taken
over 81, ,000, 600 worth of gold out of the
mine
When William lived in Wichita he
was a common policeman and be II said
10 his credit that the smiles of fortune
did not turn his head away from his
friends. This is proven by the fact
that Charlie Phillips in the Office of the
Dold Packing company, received a let
ter from the new millionaire yesterday
in which he recites mis- good fortune for
the benefit Of his old friends.
Years ago when Mike Meagher was
marshal of Wichita and the wild char
acters Of the plain reSorted here the
council deemed II wise to station a
policeman at the Arkansas river bridge
whose sole duty was to make cowboys
surrender their revolvers before coming
into the city. Mike Meagher looked
about him one day to find a man suit
able for this important and dangerous
duty and hit upon Bill Doves as he
was then known. DR.. Allen was may
or at the time and on the suggestion Of
the marshal appointed Doves as a po-
iceman to watch the bridge. Bill did
his work we'll and on freqeunt occa-
sions he had as high as 100 revolvers
and rifles in his possession as he allow
ed no. stranger to enter the city arm
ed and the cowboys knew ii.
When the railway went on to yelling
ton and Caldwell and the cattle trade
left Wichita there was no more need
for a policeman at the bridge and Bill
Doves lost mis- job.
Somewhere along about 1886 when the
town company Of Bluff City was form
ed Bill Doves was its president and
Charlie Phillips its secretary. They
made a little money out of il but not

were camped out on the prairie and
rttlesnake jumped at Bill. With cleo
trical quickness Bill grabbed the snake
around the waist and smashed his head
against the wagon wheel. The snake
never knew what happened him. This
feat was the talk of seven days at
Bluff City and from that time on he has
been known as "Rattlesnake Bill"
After the Bluff City boom was over
Bill Doves accompanied a Wichita firm
TO the pineries Of Arkansas where he
acted as a kind of a body guard TO ci-
vilizatiOn for a few years.

About three years ago Bill went to
Cripple Greek where he INDUCED in
prospecting and struck a rich vein OF

When Bill was here ne was noted for

wanted to be extremely convivial he
knew what kind OF inspiration to drink
and when he was in his cups ii was al
most as much as mans Efe was worth

pipe was all right, but Bill classified
every man who smoked cigar as a

The Cholera in japan.

San Francisco, July 27.-Cholera is
raging in Japan, and nearly every
province in the little empire reports a
heavy death rate from the disease.
The officers and passengers of the City
of Peking tell of the deaths from cholera
in the streets of cities where the
steamer called. From the outbreak of
the disease until the steamer sailed
from Yokohama 1,183 deaths had been
reported. The disease was brought
from Japan by the forces returning
from the war in China and Corea, and
whenever regiment was sent home
and disbanded, cases of cholera began
to develop. The disease spread with
such rapidity that the physicians Of
the district were unable to keep it in
check. Military quarantines were es-
tablished, and all regiments returning
were held until all traces of the disease
were stamped out. In spite of such
precautions and the united efforts of
the quarantine officers and civil physi-
cinas, the plague has become so prev.
alent that all the way from fifty to 100
deaths day are reported from it, and
as many more are said said to occur
that never reach the ears of the author
tiles.

Bradstreet's Report.

New York, July 29.-Bradstreet' S
Review says: "The most striking fea-
lures of the business week are the in
fuences of improved crop prospects and
the continued large demand for iron
and steel with one of the largest max
ers in the market as buyer of Besse-
mer pig. Most of the commercial and
industrial features of the preceding
week are retained. Commercial travel
ers are being sent out in all leading
lines, and reports from these quarters
appear to meet expectations. The
strength of the wheat market, based on
reports of damage to the spring wheat,
and the great falling off of receipts at
primary markets is followed by drop
in wheat exported this week. which total
(four included as wheat) amounts to
1896, 010 bushels from both coasts of
the United States and Montreal, COM
pared with 1,652,0O0 bushels last
week, 1888, 900 bushels in the fourth
week of July, 1894; 1853, 900 bushels in
the corresponding week of 1898; 2, 524,
600 bushels in 1892, and 3,164, 900
bushels in 1891. The present weeks
shipments therefore are the smallest
sent out since the first week of June,

A Protest From Kansas.

Topeka, July 29.-Governor Morrill,
had addressed letter to President
Cleveland again calling attention of
the federal government to the imprison-
ment of John l.. Waller by the French
government. He says:
''The people of our state feel that a
great outrage has been perpetrated on
one of its citizens. It is not question
of race or color-it is a question Of
American citizenship-andth through me
the people of our state appeal to you to
take immediate and active measures to
secure justice to our fellow citizen.
1t is reported through the press that
France has denied a respectful request
on the Fart of the United States gov
ernment to allow Ambassador Eustis to
visit Waller and obtain copy of the
charges on which he is alleged to have
been convicted."-

Mr.. DepeW Talks.

London, July 29.-The Westminster
Gazette today publishes long inter-
view with Chauncey M. Depew, who,
according to the Gazette, is talked of
as the next Republican candidate for
president. In this interview, Mr.. De-
pew discusses at length the British
elections, the American opinion of
home rule, the Monroe doctrine, taking
the same grounds on all questions as
he did in the interview when he
landed at Southampton on the Oari on
July 18. Regarding bimetalism, Mr..
Depew is quoted as saying he believes
the majority of the Marquis of Sails
bury's cabinet is in sympathy on this
subject with the views of the Right
Hon. A. j. Balfour, the first lord of
the treasury.

San Francicso, July 26.-The execu-

abolished all it's rules and regulations,
the officers ceased to exist, and COM
mittee of seven was appointed to take
charge of affairs, invite new members,
and, if possible, evolve another COM
pact of insurance men on lines less
stringent than those of the old COM
pact. Thirty-one companies were
represented at the meeting, but there
are still twelve or thirteen outside, and
until they can be induced to come into
the organization the war Of rates can
not be stopped.

No Yale-HarVard Football.

New Haven, Conn.,, July 29.-Ar-
thur F. Foote, manager of the Yale
football eleven, passed through this
city on his way to Southampton, where
he will participate in the annual ten
mis- tournament. He was asked about
the recently published story regarding
a Yale-Harvard football match and a
general athletic reconciliation. He
said:
''There is no truth in it so far as I
know. I have seen George A. Dee and
other Yale athletic advisers, and they
all say they know nothing about it. 1
do not believe that Yale and Harvard
will play football together this fall. p"

The "Wizard's'' Broken Arm.

Chicago, July 3O.-Jacob Schaefer
may not be factor in the internation-
al billiard tournament between the ex-
perts of the world. The injury to the
famous players arm is more serious
than at first supposed, and it is now
feared that not only may Schaefer be-
out of the tournament, but that his
billiard career may be ended. Three
physicians examined the broken arm
today in consultation, which resulted
in an operation. The fracture is within
an inch of the old break of several
years ago, and three pieces Of bone
were taken out.

STILL ANOTHER GOMEZ
A Large Expedition Leaves
This Country for Cuba.
VESSEL A FORMIDABLE WARSHIP
She Has Arms and Ammunition Aboard
Which the Insurgents Need More
Than Anything Else.

Than Anything Else.
Philadelphia, July 30.-The Press
will publish the following tomorrow:
By Tuesday or Wednesday of this
week there will be in Cuban waters
the largest expedition from this country
that has yet left. 1t will be under
command of Colonel Enrique Collazo,
who arrived in this country about July
6,and since that time has been preparing
for this expedition. The ship is fitted
out as war vessel, and is capable of a
speed of seventeen knots an hour, and
has made nineteen. About ten days
ago trial trip was made off Sandy
Hook. She was at once accepted, and
the money was paid over. Clearance
papers were obtained, and the vessel
put out to sea. A contingent of about
twenty-five local Cubans, skilled ship
rights and experienced men-of-war,
were shipped on another vessel and
transferred to her on the high seas.
Rapid-fring four and six-inch guns
were purchased, and these, with two
gatling guns, were sent out in the same
vessel, and by the time the boat reaches
Cuban waters she will have formid-
able battery in position.
What is needed more than anything
else by the insurgents is said to be
aboard this vessel. There are said to
have been loaded from this port 5000
Remington rifles and $4,000 rounds of
ammunition. The rifles and ammuni-
tion are said to have been shipped to
this city by the manufacturers, or
rather to point near this city, and
loaded on vessels at points down the
river and bay. They were then carried
out to the high seas, and transferred to
the vessel purchased by the insurgents.
Everything was completed for sailing
Saturday night, and the vessel is now
believed to be on its way to Cuba.
There is but one Cuban in the party.
Among those who are enrolled is for
mer officer of the United States navy,
an officer of the national guard, and
four or five men who served through
the late war. The names of these peo-
pie will not be made known until the
vessel lands its men on Cuban soil.
For obvious reasons the name of the
vessel has been kept secret.
As soon as the Cubans are recognized
as belligerents by some foreign govern
ment, the vessel will be purchased by
the insurgents. When this is done,
the Cuban flag will be raised on her,
and she will be named in all probabil-
ity the President Marti, in honor of
the late leader of the insurgents. This
recognition is expected from South
American or Central American repub-
lie soon. The first step toward this
will be taken in few days, if it has
not already been taken.
1t is the purpose of those on the ISL
and to set up provisional government
at Manzanillo, or some other point, in
a day or so. If the advices received
by the local Cubans that General de
Campos is now practically prisoner
in Bayamo are correct, the new govern
ment will in all probability be set up
at that point.

The Raft Taken to Sea.

Astoria, Or, July 29.-The big raft
from Stella arrived this afternoon and
will go to sea at 8 in the morning. The
tug Relief will take it to the mouth Of
the river, where the steamer Mineola
now awaits it, and will tow it to San
Francisco. Captain Robertson, who
is in charge of the raft, says he will
probably go to the Sound next year for
raft. This raft draws twenty feet of
water, and is $50 feet long.

PROMINENT IN LIFE.
Elder Hines, the Famous Co-WOrker of
the Founder of Adventism.


Elk Point, S. D., July 3O.-Elder
Joshua S. Vaughan Hines, the famous
co-worker of William Miller, the
founder of Adventism, is dead at the
age of 81.
Mr.. Hines was born at Wexford,
R. I. The family were Episcopalians,
but the boy became member of the
New England sect called Christian
Baptists, and for number of years
served as a general missionary. In
the midst of this work he first heard Of
William Miller and his teachings as to
the near approach of the second advent.
Mr.. Miller has been preaching for seven
years, but no particular impression had
been made. Mr.. Hines arranged to
meet Father" Miller, and, after pa
tient investigation, made up his mind
that the "old prophet was right. Mr..
Hines at once arranged for weekly
paper, and began the publication of
books and extracts innumerable. The
first number of the paper was sent to
every postoffce in the United States
and Canada. In 1879, however, Elder
Hines returned to the church of his
youth, and has since remained with it.

retaining that position until the roth
year of his age. He went to Brooklyn
in 1879, and was associated with his
brother in the publication of the Chris
tian Union.

The Grip Broke.

New York, July 30.-A collision
occurred on the Washington heights
cable line tonight, at One Hundred
and-twenty-nint street and Amster-
dam avenue, by which at least four
persons were seriously injured. They
were: Frederick Gittler, Moses ST.
mon, Fanny Pauline and Jennie Lind
ley. The first named will probably die.
The cable car was going down the steep
hill at One-hundred-a and twenty first
street, when the grip broke and the car,
with trailer, started down at a lively
pace. The gripman set the brakes, but
they would not work. With each
movement the two cars, crowded with
passengers, increased their speed.
Some who were near the steps jumped
off to safety. The others made a rush
to reach the doors. At One-hundred-
and-twenty-ninth street the crash came.
Men and women were thrown OF
jumped over the low railings of the
trailer and to those witnessing the ac-
cident it appeared as though many
must be killed. It was found that
many were more Or less injured.
