companies of militia and large force

SHAFER'S OWNING ROD.
With 1t He Located Fabulous Treas

With 1t He Located Fabulous Treas
ure in California.
Alameda, CAL, Aug. civilian
Shafer, of this city, believes that he
has located gold mine with divin-
ing rod upon spot in Contra Costa
county, which his wife saw in vision.
Shafer says he has struck a bonanza,
and that he will be millionaire if he
can secure possession of the land where
the precious metal lies hidden.
Two weeks ago it was related how
Mr.. Shafer had divining rod and his
wife had vision, and he had started
out to locate the mine in Contra Costa
county. Shafer took with him lot of
prospecting tools and his wonderful
steel dip needle. This needle has such
a powerful affinity for the precious
metals that it can scent 50-cent piece
100 feet away. 1t was made especially
for Shafer by a friend, who expended
three weeks labor upon it. With a
similar instrument very rich mine
was located in Death valley. The
mine is now owned and operated by the
Redlands Mining Company.
Since the story of Skaters novel
prospecting tour, as result OF his
wife's vision, was published he has re-
ceived letters from six states. All
kinds of propositions have been made
to him to locate mines. Several beg.
ged for sittings with Mrs. Shafer, that
she might 60 into frances and locate
gold mines. Next week Shafer is 60
ing on prospecting trip for several
men in San Francisco. All his ex.
penses will be paid and he will be
given a good salary.
81 think l shall 60 into the business
of locating mines with my divipine
rod" said Shafer.

The Astoria Road Contractors Connot
Get Enough Men.
Portland, Or, Aug. 5.-Mr. Hugh
Glenn, of the contracting firm OF
Honeyman, DeHart & Glenn. who is
constructing portion of the Astoria
Goble railroad, is at the St. Charles.
He has just returned from Seattle,
where he went to employ laborers. He
wants 800 more men, principally ak
men and station men, but finds it hard
to secure them.
II have advertised for men, be
said, land pay them $3.50 per day,
which is ten cents more than paid by
the railroad companies and other con-
tractors for the same class of work; yet
it seems impossible to get them.
'It is our purpose to give everything
possible to Portland, and we still hope
to get men here, and on the Sound, in
stead of having to go to San Fran
CISCO.
The firm yesterday chartered the
steamboat Kehani for nine months, to
be used in the transportation of sup
plies and camp equipage. Two other
boats are similarly employed.

WRECK ON THE SANTA FE
The Engineer Killed and Eight Passen-

The Engineer Killed and Eight Passen-

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 5.-Santa Fe
passenger train No. 1, which was due
in this city at 4:27 this afternoon, col
iided with eastbound local passenger
No. IS, near Bean Lake, Mo-, shortly
before noon today. Fred Heady, of
Topeka, engineer on train No. 1, was
killed. Eight were injured.
No. l was ordered to wait at Bean
Lske for the Kansas City local, but,
instead, proceeded to Bosworth. The
collision occurred about half way be.
tween the two places. The dead and
injured were brought to Topeka to-
night. The injuries of Joseph Hickey,
of San Jose, Cal, are not so serious as
at first thought. His collar bone is
fractured. Express Messenger Bulway
cannot live. The collision threw both
locomotives from the track, and they
rolled off into the ditch. The smok.
ing car, IN which all the passengers
injured were riding, was telescoped by
the express car.

ELECTION IN ALABAMA.
The state Carried by the Usual Demo-
cratic Majority.

cratic Maj GRITTY.
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 5.-The
size of the Democratic majority seems
all that remains in doubt, with regard
to the result of today's election. Be-
cause of the slow counting under the
new ballot law, returns are necessarily
slow in coming in, but there is no
doubt of a complete Democratic VIC
tory. Incomplete returns from about
half the counties SO far received lndl-
cate Democratic gains in all but MO-
bile and Macon. In the former, the
Democrats appear to have lost some
500 votes by stay at homes, but the
county is still in the Democratic COL
umn by 500 majority. In Macon
county, which gave Oates a majority
of 500 in 1894, the result is close and
doubtful.
The Populists, on the other hand,
have carried Tuscaloosa county by
1000 majority. 1t gave Kolb 200 ma
jority two years ago. Marshall county,
which went for Kolb by 600, is close,
and probably Democratic. Lee county,
which had Populist majority of 500,
is like Marshall. Chambers county,
with 400 majority for Kolb in 1894,
is in the Democratic column. ITALIA
poosa county, with 600 majority for
Kolb at the last election, is close, and
may be Democratic. Fayette. another
Populist county, is in the doubtful
column. as are also Coosa and DeKalb.
In the counties which Governor
Oates carried two years ago, there have
been increased majorities in all so far
heard from, except two.

humors OF examinations.

In dealing with immature minds, one
should be careful to say what he means.
A little boy in the course of his reading
lesson came to the word widow"
and called it window" a word more
familiar to him. The teacher, who was
acting DIS examiner, corrected the blum
der, and then, wishing to improve
the occasion, put the question, What
is the difference between widow and
window? The boys answer began,
"You can see through a window,
but and then stopped The amuse-
ment plainly visible on the teachers face

General Marceau.

General Marceau was not the only
soldier Of the revolution against whom
no accusation of cruelty or barbarlty
has been leveled, but he was the most
conspicuous perhaps from the fact that
his efforts on the side Of mercy never
brought about his own ruin. Almost
every battle in which he was engaged
might have furnished an excuse for
leading him to the guillOtine IN the
footsteps of his old friends and COM
manders. Dillon and BirOn, and yet, IN
spite of his many enemies and the fierce
jealousy which he excited, he managed
to keep his head on his shoulders while
many another, far less suspected, fell
And this brings us to question
which can hardly fail TO force itself
upon our attention. How was 1t that
Marceau, as a humane and honorable
gentleman, could bring himself to serve
under the orders of RossignOl and Tur-
reau? One can only say that he made a
rare proof of his patriotism IN not de-
serting his post One knows what he
felt about the successful campaign in La
Vendee from letter which he addressed
to his sister Emira-the sister to whom
he poured out all his cOntidences-when
she wrote to congratulate him on his
brilliant victories at LIE Mans and Save
nay:
What, my dear sister, do you con-
graduate me on these two battles, or
rather these two massacres and do you
really wish to have leaf from my
laurels? Do you not know that they are
stained and soiled with human blood,
with the blood, moreover, of our fellow
countrymen? l shall not return to La
Vendee 1t is painful to me to have to
fight against Frenchmen. - London

Oakland Building Collapsed.

Oakland, CAL, Aug. ga two-story
building on Seventh and Clay streets
collapsed last night, and nine people
occupying the house had narrow es-
capes from death. The underpinning
of the house gave way shortly before
midnight, and the building fell two
feet with crash. The building is still
standing, but the first wind probably
will topple it over. 1t wassbuilt forty
years ago, and is one of the landmarks
of the CITY.

Andree Delayed.

Stockholm, Aug 4.-News has been
received from Spitzbergen that Pro-
fessor s. A. Andree's balloon has been
filled and that he was ready to start
July 25. The Virgo, with Professor
Andree, his two companions and his
apparatus on board, sailed from Strom
soc June 1 8. Since June 20, the expe-
dition had been established in Pixies
house, in the northern half of West
Spitzbergen, opposite Danes island.
The stores and equipments had already
been disembarked and the position con-
sidered very favorable. AS the explorer
had planned that his preparations
would all be completed and his balloon
filled by the first week in July, it
seems probable that some unexpected
obstacle was met in completing the
preparations.
