KING OSCAR IL SELECTED.
Will Re the Fifth Member of the Ven ezueIan Arbitration Tribunal.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-The king of Sweden and Norway, Oscar II. has been chosen by treaty between the United States and Great Britain as the fifth or final arbitrator of the Venezuelan boundary question. The other arbitrators, four in number, are to be designated two by the lord chief jus tice of England and two by the chief justice of the United States.
 The choice of King Oscar appears to have been a most fortunate one, as he is universally regarded as a man of great attachments, of judicial tempera- ment and of eminent fairness. Among the monarehs of Europe he is probably the most popular. as he goes freely among the people gnd is thoroughly Democratic in his ways.
 King Oscar is not only ruler whose statesmanship has advanced Norway and Sweden, but he has also reputa- tion throughout Europe as a Inguist, an author, poet and musician. He speaks half a dozen languages huently and has thorough command of Eng lish, which will be of special adyan- tage ill the present arbitration.

DISCOVERIES oE LOWELL
What He Found In the Heavens From
 the Flagstaff Station.

l
 FLAGSTAFF, A. T., Nov. l2.-The work of the Lowell observatory Is ended and preparations for it's removal to the city of Monaco are being rapidly com pleted. The observatory was establish ed in Flagstaff in 1891, and work of such importance was done during the next year that Professor Lowell saw the great advantages to be gained by large glass, the one then in use being equipped with an l8-ineh lens. On Aug l, 1896, a new 24-inch machine was set up. Professors Lowell, Pick ering and Douglass have given attention to Mars, and have done much for sci ence in settling important questions re- garding that planet. The result of their work has made these astronomers fa- nous. Several hundred drawings were made of Mars, the results of which have established the fact that it is covered with an extensive system of canals, ar- anged in all artificial manner as if the NNk n OA A44tSAAA $ C4Ab D0AltEo.
 An important discovery anent Mer- cury and Venus was made by Professor Lowell and Mr. Drumm who took ob- servations of these planets i'll the day time. These two astronomers have been able not only to make maps of their surfaces, but to prove conclusiyely that tbo bO1ioe rotafa opoo a,,lxr ia, tba oo,,rso of revolution about the sun. One side of the planet is therefore turned to- wards the sun and heated to an inn mense temperature, the other half being wrapped in everlasting night. The drawing by Mr. Lowell has settled the question of the rotation of Mercury and Venus, which has been partially studied by Schiarapelli some years ago. MT. Lowell's discovery establishes the fact that Mercury has no appreciable atmos- phere and that Venus has all abundance of it, though she possesses very few clouds. Drawings of her markings have been forwarded by request to the royal astronomical society in London.
 Dr. T. J. J. See, and Mr. Conner have used the new telescope on the southern double stars, and it is announced to- day that since August they have dis covered 150 new stellar systems besides measuring 100 stars recognized by pre- yious observers.
 On reaching the City of Mexico Dr. See will continue his search for new double stars, opportunities for new dis eoveries being very good in this south ern latitude, especially as no important work on the double stars of tho southern heavens has been done since Sir John Herschels work of 50 years ago.
 This expedition is receiyinc the atten- tion of the astronomers of the world, who are keenIy alive to the importance of the movement. President Diaz oi the Mexican government has been ae- tive i'll behalf of these American astron omers, and has not only welcomed then to Mexico, but has instructed the Mex ican national observatory to furnish ey cry possible aid to the men in then work. Scientific men look upon thii enterprise as the most important of the | Nineteenth century.

A RICH FIND.
Gold Mines Discovered In Old LewisVille. Lay fayette County,
 Arkansas

Quite a little excitement at Old Lewisyille over the finding of gold. Long anterior to the great civil war there lived a very wealthy planter at said historic town named John Dickson. His residence, afterwards owned by Capt W. P Parks, now bears the name of Baybrook Mr. Dickson died prior to the war and tradition comes to us that much of his monetary wealth was buried there and search after search has been made for the buried treasure without success, and finally the tradition passed out Of memory. However, last Monday evening Master John D. Parks visited the old home in possession of his father-but now unoccupied- and discovered large shallow excavation near the rock house, and noticing that the dirt seemed freshly broken made an inspection. He found that where the ground had been covered with brick, making it look like short pavement, all had been removed from one 8o two feet deep; that a spade had been used and an old fashioned two gallon iron pot partly borken, with a rusty fin top, cut with the corner of the spade apparentlr, sat by the hole, evideneing that the long hidden treasures had been found
 It is supposed if the pot contained gold that the finder was about $5,OOO better off Monday than he was Sunday preceding.
 'Tis well, as we need much gold now, that the digger was success full The national government will accept it and give the bonds gladly and ask no questions.-New Lewis vile Record.

:. : 'MALONEY'S WEDDING.,'
The Groom to Be Determined to Make Bold Stand or Kill
 Off His Friends.

"Maloney's Wedding" after being postponed from time to time on ac- count of the obduracy of the parents of the bride-to be, has reached a eli max, or in Maloneys own words: Matters have gone so far that rather than have his plans for his future happiness defeated, he has de-
 termined on making a bold front or kill all his friends (with laughtef) in his attempt to consumate the we'd ding together of the bond which will henceforth make him and the pride of his heart one. In order to furnish ample accommodation for his numerous admirers he has se- cured the Opera-house Monday evening, January 27, where he will face the music, and surrounded by goodly lumber of selected artists will preceed to make merry and carry to completion one of the most brilliant and sensational weddings ever witnessed by fun-loving pub lie. Val Blat2 has agreed to act as best man-what Ireland and Ger many cannot do in the way of wit, song and hilarity in general, is of little consequence-an Irish wake would not be circumstance te this side e-splitting event. Whatever else you do, do not fail to be on hand and participate in a jolly good time and congratulate Dan and his bride, and give them rousing send off.
