an experiment, but the coffee
bushes came up, grew With
wonderful rapidity and put forth
pods which were filled with the
aromatic beans. When he came
to harvest>his crop, he found that
his 100 beans had yielded him
five pecks of coffee, more than
enough to supply his whole
family for the entire year.

The fastest returns received

North Carolina are as follows:
The ryan electoral ticket IS
certainly elected. The majority
will not be less than 1900. 1t
may be twice as much.
The Populists have elected
Congressman in the First, Third,
Fourth, Sixth aud Seventh dis
trict. The Democrats have cer>
tainly elected White in the Secs
ond. The result III the Eighth
and Ninth are in doubt, with
rather tile best chance for Litlney
and Pearson.
The contest for Governor is
not certain. It may take the
official count to decide. Russell
seems to be in the lead.
Neither party will have ma
jority i'll the Legislature, though
the Republicans will be danger

An important Office.

To properly FIJI its Office and functions,
it is important that the blood be pure.
When it is in such condition, the body
is almost certain to be healthy. A
complaint at this time is catarrh in
some of its various forms. A slight
cold develops the disease in the head.
Droppings of corruption passing into
the lungs bring on consumption. The
only way to cure this disease is to purify
the blood. The most obstinate cases of
catarrh yield to the medicinal powers
of Hoods Sarsaparilla as if by magic,
simply because it reaches the seat of
the disease, and by purifying and vital
izing the blood, removes the cause. Not
only does Hoods oarsaparilla do this
but it gives renewed vigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme.

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease and
in order to cure it you must take inter-
nal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall S
Catarrh Cure is not quack medicine.
1t was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years,
and is a regular prescription. 1t is
composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

Gold Mines.

Reports from several gold mining dis tricts are somewhat encouraging. The clean up" for two weeks in the Home- stake and Associate mines, South Da- kota, amounts to $300,G00 Eastern cap italists are preparing to work other mines already known more carefully and eco- nomically. No doubt even moderately valuable veins and placers would pay to be closely worked in tho present condi- ton of things.
 The most cheerful reports, however, rome from parts of the Americas not yet belonging to the United States. In Dutch Guiana there are great goldGelds, said to equal in richness any yet discovered. Nowis the time to cultivate them. Near CT homo, in southeastern British Column bia, have been located in the past two years some mines of which newspaper on the ground, tho Kaslo Examiner, says, "W:thin IS miles of Kaslo are now dis covered moro rich mines than there are within 200 miles of Denver"
 The Kootenai river, a tributary of the Upper Columbia, is the crookedest stream in North America probably. It is the shape of the letter "S." It crosses the line between the United States and British Columbia twice, once on the northern edge of Montana, once on the Idaho border and finally pours into the Upper Columbia almost on an exact line west of its source. It is navigable by small steamboats, and these are now loaded down every tripwith prospectors old and new from the states and else where. The Kootenai flows through the Selkirk mountains, a spur of the Rockies as crooked as the river is. In the noun tain gulches of the Selkirk range is found the mineral wealth, which if it were on our side of the line would raise a greater excitement than the Creede mine did a couple of years ago, for the Selkirk mines are richer. Gold, lead and silver have been found in immense ly paying quantity.
 The point of departure where miners secure their outfit for the mountains is Kaslo, little new town on the Koot- enai, short distance north of the Mon- tana line. Kaslo has been created by the mines. An assayer there says he has quartz specimen which would run $50,0O0 of gold to the ton. Lead and silver ores arc proportionally rich.
 Our British brethren prefer to go slower than we do, thinking it an evi- dence of superior mind. But when it comes to opening up gold mines, we can tell them this policy i5 dead wrong.
