Park PoachinR.

Yellowstone Valley Recorder: The
campaign of the government authori-
ties to suppress poaching operations
against the few remaining buffalo in
the Yellowstone National park is re-
ported upon by Acting superintendent
Anderson in a communication to Sec
rotary Smith. Captain Anderson says
he employed a detective during the
winter among the poachers working
from Idaho. Then two expeditions were
dispatched to that region. They came
upon a party of poachers and pursued
them out of the park, firing upon them
and killing one of their horses. James
Courtenay of Henrys lake was captur-
ed while delivering plumber to w. =.
Witch, Butte taxidermist At the
subsequent trial he was acquitted on
the claim that the spoils were obtained
in Idaho. outside the park. Captain
Anderson. however. believes the cap
ture has resulted in thoroughly STAN
peding the poachers. The interior de-
partment officials say that. unlike
Montana, poaching II not made a fell
ony throughout the year in Wyoming
and Idaho.

The richest presidential candidate
comes from West Virginia This may
surprise those who have looked upon
Levi p. Morton as the Dives of the
campaign. But in reality no aspirant
for the chief magistracy can vie with
Stephen b. Elkins in respect of money.
They think great deal of him in West
Virginia, and they propose to stand by
him in the republican convention until
the last.
Recent political developments have
made Senator Elkins more than a pos
eibility. The plan of his managers is
TO LAY low" during the first few ball
lots. and allow Morton and Harrison
and Reed and Mckinley and Allison to
kill each other off. 1t is not a bad
plan. and there are many reasons why
1t may succeed.
Senator Elkins is one of the most re-
markable men In the country, although
not in the sense that Jefferson Brick
held that honor. He was very poor
once. To-day he is estimated to be
worth $15.000,000 and some think that
in time he will be the richest man in
the United States. His property con-
sists first of vast tracts of coal land in
West Virginia. This property will be
enormously valuable in a decade. The
senator is a stakeholder in numerous
southern railways. He has large sums
invested ON mortgage in New York and
Pennsylvania He Is banker on a
very large scale.

gress, and she the belle of Washington.
Tor her father was serving in the Unit
ed states senate. The rise of Elkins
has been steady ever since.
The senator owns entire towns in
West Virginia. They are built on the
most approved sanitary principles, and
are sold Tor sums that appear ridicu-
lousy low to Fasteners. Every bust
ness enterprise with which Mr.. Elkins
has concerned himself. has proved
amazingly successful There seems to
be no end TO the development of his re-
sources. The senator is not fond of
having his great wealth adverted to-
for he fears 1t may injure him politi-
cally, but there can be no getting over
the fact that he is to-day the richest
asplrant to the presidency of the Unit
ed States.

Denver. Jan. PA special to the
Times from Washington says: The bill
which is on the programme to put
through both houses of congress in
short order. provides for the coinage of
800 000, 900 silver bullion stored in the
minis into subsidiary pieces. 1t is
stated there is always a good demand
for smaller coins in the spring. and
many banks purchasing 1t for their
customers refuse to take pieces which
are at all abraded. To take advantage
OF this demand and thus reduce the
bulk of silver in store is regarded as
desirable. The government would de-
rive an extra profit from this as the
seigniorage on token coins is about five
cents more on the dollar than that on
standard dollars. AS it is now. there
are $53.000.000 seigniorage available for
the proposed increase OF subsidiary
coinage. All the rest OF silver Is re-
quired by the Sherman law to be used
only for the coinage of standard dollars
hence the need of proposed new legisla-
ton in order TO make the amount
500, O0O, 900.

In the middle west the movement IN
favor of the senator's nomination Is
very strong. He has been careful to
oonciliate public sentiment in all pos
sible ways, and he has avoided con-
tests of any description. He is not an
avowed candidate for the presidency.
On the contrary, he has gone to the
length of saying that there are many
candidates preferable to himself; but
for all that II is believed that he would
be intensely gratified by the nomina-
ton. He does not go out of his way
TO attract public attention. He likes
his post in the senate and knows that
he can remain there indefinitely.

husbands household and their two lit

hsr and the children TO Seattle, but the
woman appears to have fallen into evil
hour made her escape, taking the chill
dren with her. Donham, becoming dis
couraged, left for the East.
Donham took hts family to Seattle a
year ago. July 8 he went back to Mus
catine for the purpose of selling his
farm. 1t was during his absence that
Mrs. Donham was said TO have run

to the city about 10 days ago and plac-

the door and the woman responded.

woman.
Then the trio marched into the house
but the husband and brother-in-law

them The woman realized that she
was caught and demanded:

removing his green goggles. He was
about to put his threat into execution
when the Infatuated woman grabbed a
long butcher knife and was about to
make deadly lunge at her husband
She was prevented from doing any
harm. The woman then changed her
tactics and agreed to give up the chill
dren provided they were placed in
school In Denver. This was satisfacto-
ry and, without objection. she accom-
panied the party to the city, arriving
Sunday night. At the hotel she occu-
pied a room adjoining that of her hus-
band and brOther-in-laW. Without hats
for herself and children, she started
