st. Paul, July II. Considerable excite

Germ. The calling in of the books naturally
caused some alarm among the stockhold-
ers, who were at a loss to know the reason
for the unusual procedure. Much omme
was INDUCED in by some of the stockhold-
ers, who were unable to give any detnite
information on the matter, except to nm
that something was wrong.
f. Il. Berrisford, president OF the society'
said last night that shortly after the death
of Andrew n. Nelson, who committed sui

there were some Irregularities In the ac-
counts of Mr.. Nelson, who had been secre-

The books were found not to have been
posted regularly, and other things tina
have been neglected caused the officers OF
the society to institute an investigator.
At the regular meeting of the, society last
month an expert accountant was employed,
and he is now engaged In making an ex-

Seeing Into Gold Quartz.

Some very unique cathode-ray ex-
perimcnts of extraordinary success
have recently been made in Oregon
City by DIR. J. c. Perry, a well known
physician of this city, and w. G.
| Cheney, superintendent of the Port
land General Electric company. The
experiments were made with gold
| bearing rock, in which the rays defined
the free gold as plainly as if it lay on
the surface of the quartz. So far as
known, this is the first successful eX-
pertinent Of the kind with quartz, and
the results obtained justify the asscr.
ton that the new ray will prove OF
immense value in mining operations.
Besides their successful experiments
| with quartz DR.. Perry and Mr.. Cheney
have succeeded in cutting down the
time of exposure to a quarter OF an
hour. The Importance of this decrease
in time is significant, when it is re-
quired to retain N position without
| moving throughout the exposure. Both
! DR.. Perry and Mr.. Cheney explain
| this decrease by the effectiveness OF
MI. Cheney's induction coil, which was
used in ali the experiments, and which
| it's owner considers the most powerful
| coil west of Chicago.-San

CLEVER LOUISIANA MICE.

Easily Outwittcd Both IL Man and
His Big Tom Cat.
B. G. Willis, living in the country be-
low here, says that for some time past
he has been greatly annoyed by rats
in his smoke house. About a month
ago he purchased a big. wire and tin
rat trap, and has since succeeded III
catching some twenty-five of the big
rodents. This seemed to settle mat
tiers SO far as rats were concerned,
but no sooner were they disposed of
than the mice became equally as OBJ
noXious, the rats having left them q
fair field.
AS he had no mouse trap on the
place, Willis borrowed a big cat from
one of his neighbors, and last night
put Tom in the smoke house to make
a raid on the mice. This morning he
visited the scene of battle, hoping to
find the cat master of the situation,
with the mice nowhere i'll evidence.
Instead he found the cat sitting OH his

ing been outwitted by the designs OF
the %overastute mice.
1t seems that Willis had left the big

smoke house, and into this the mice
had betaken themselves as soon as
they found they were being closely
chased by poor Tom, who had not
been able to make an entrance into
the barricade of tin and wire. When
Willis found the trap there were elev-
en- scared little mice safely housed
therein. Thinking, of course, that he
had them captured he fastened Tom
in the smoke house again, and carried
the trap outside, setting it down by
the door while he went for a kettle OF
boiling water to demolish the catch ut
one fell swoop.
But those mice had not lived in vain.
Finding themselves safely outside ana
beyond the reach of the cats paws,
/ they lost no time in improving their
| opportunity for escape afforded by
| Willis absence, and made their exit
from the big rat trap as easily as they
had entered it, and scampered Off into
safe hiding places before another
| swifter danger overlook them.-Alex-
