determined that she should not sing out

As one-half of Yvette's $4,000 was de-

the other is paid her weekly, the only
thing that Oscar could do was to threaten
MOTTO pay her return passage. He did
that, and for day Oscar and Yvette were

But today Oscar sadly admitted that he
could not raise a finger to prevent her

he will do all he can for her, and when
the time comes will comply with the

Nan Who Made 1t and Man Who Wants It
Indulge in "a War of Letters.
MILWAUKEE,, Jan, 2.-There is heated
controversy going on between Laurence
Hutton of New York and Signor Tren-
tanove, an Italian sculptor who makes his
home in this city, on account of the death
mask of Eugene Field. Trentanove Sc
cured a death mask of the poet, and Hut
ton, whe IS a collector of death masks,
wrote to the sculptor recently to see if he
could get replica Of it. In reply he re-
ceived "a letter saying that no copies
would be made, but that the mask itself
was for sale for the sum of $1,000 In
the January number of the Bookman ap-
peared what purported to be copy of a
scathing reply by Mr. Hutton. Tren-
tauove denies that he received any such
letter, and makes public the correspond
ence in reference TO the barter over the
sale of the plaster cast of Fields face.
In his correspondence Mr.. Hutton
merely wrote that he could not pay the
price asked for the cast.

THE CRIPPLE CREEK FINDS

Prominent Kansans Interested in New
Mines of Gold
In connection with the new gold dis
coveries near Cripple Creek it is inter-
esting to note that a number of we'll
known Kansas people appear to have
STRUCK it,"
The West Creek Gold Mining and
Milling company has been organized
with the following officers and direc-
tors: President. G. Hood of Emporia;
secretary and treasury, l. Severy; super
intendent, W. s. Henderson; directors,
w. II. Severy, ]. B. Hibben. G. L. Sew
cry, Daniel Severy, VIM. s. Henderson,
c. Hood and L Severy.
Mr.. W. Fl. Severyy who has just re-
turned from West Creek, or Pemberton.
says that there are now 1000 people
where but three months ago, when he
first went there, were but few tents.
The locality is near Cripple Creek.
dispatch says:
s1ntense excitement was caused here
by the news that d. LamoD had uncov-
cred a fine body of ore in the Lamon
mine, two miles southeast of town.
A number of samples were
brought down which were full of
free gold. Assayer Matheson stated
strike was great Christmas gift for the
people of the camp. 1t thoroughly dem
onstrates the fact that all that has been
said for West Creek is fully justified by
the facts. Mr.. Lamon fastened off for
Colorado Springs to secure the title to
his property and to have further tests
made of the ore. Mining property and
town lots are changing hands rapidly.
Preparations are being completed to ship
ore from the Hoosier and other mines
next week. Work has already COM
menced on three mines in the camp to
sink shafts and drive tunnels 200 to 300
feet. A company is organized to drive
a tunnel 1000 feet into Thunder butte
to cut dozen veins which are known to
penetrate this mountain. Over 200 men
are now on the regular pay rolls of the
caWp.
A strike was made in one of the claims
of the Tyler Gold Mining company, but
the facts are kept quiet"

AFTER LIONS.

The Exciting Pleasures of the Hunt
Bring the Hunters Into Grave Danger.
Some of those evenings in the jungle
are among my pleasantest recollections.
What greater pleasure than coming in
from a successful hunt to find ones
companion has had his share of sport
and over the postprandial coffee to
mutually recite ones experiences OF the
day? The darkness succeeding the fall
of day is just giving away to the bright
light of the rising moon, whose rapidly
widening silvery edge we see through
the tops of the mimosa jungle. The
circle of fire in the zareba throws a
rudy glow on the picturesque figures
of the men grouped about them at their
meal or preparing for rest. In the far
distance we hear the howl of the hyena
or the gruff bark of the ruesting lion.
His majesty may perhaps be inclined to
visit US later in the evening; very well,
we will give him royal reception.
''Achmed, tell Alden to put the ten bore
and half a dozen cartridges in my bed!'

for fear of accidents Good night!'
''Night"' and we are soon asleep to
brief lullaby from the sentry, who
never ceases singing throughout his
watch; asleep, but not a heavy slumber;
any unusual noise and we shall both
be wide awake, having wakened up
suddenly without movement unless it
be that of hand to a weapon; wide
awake, to drop off again the moment We
are satisfied that all is we'll. It is a
wonderful faculty of the human mind
which enables it to adapt its sleep to
circumstances; at home we lay our
heads down and sleep till shouted at
by servant who has, banged about the
room for ten minutes previously; go to
the gungle or the prairie, and our sleep
is set on a hair trigger; we wake ten
times in the night and ten times we are
asleep again within half a minute, hav-
ing made ure all is right. AS the night
advances e are glad to pull the water
proof sheets over us, sometimes right
over our heads, to keep off the heavy
dew, which otherwise would soak up to
the skin. Long before daylight jana

sir; it's half past 81 ", drawing his
watch-our only demonstration
under his pillow, would check the accu-
racy of Jama's assertion with the aid of
a match, and, if his statement held
water, would order a start. My own
watch, a cheap one, broke down very
soon after entering the Haud, so we had
to rely entirely on VS. timepiece, an ex-
cellent lever watch, for our Observa-
tions. On one occasion the sentry must
have dropped off to sleco a moment and
then wakened up to find The stars OBJ

change. SEQ Kansas Avenue.


CHICAGO, Jan. 2, .-Wheat-There
was continuation of liquidation this
morning by people who were long
quence the market was irregular and
fraction lower Early cables were
steady and in some instances higher.
Receipts we're smaller than the
estimate, with indications of heavy
snow storm in the northwest and
threatens to stop the movement of spring
wheat. Two million gold was reported
taken at London for shipment to New
York and the clearances at the four ports
were far above expectations and future
outlook very fattering to higher prices.
The Price Current was out with rather
favorable report of conditions of wheat
the past week but also states that
marketings are restricted on account OF
low prices and bad roads. Cables
from Liverpool states that there is a
further decrease of 526,000 blu in their
supplies, Minneapolis reports wheR5
very strong today and cash selling at
May price. Partridge was reported 10
be buying steadily, but orders through
commission houses by timid holders
is purchase for the 10
lowing reasons: The government
report shows the worlds crop to be 151
million bushels short. The rye crop,
which has it's influence on the consump-
ton of wheat is 129 million bushels
short Cash wheat is e higher than the
May option. taking into consideration
carrying charges. Demand foT flour Is
the greatest in the history CT the country
and the output is sold for six weeks ahead.
Mills in the northwest ground more
wheat during December than ever be-
fore in their history. Foreign demand is
growing steadily, which confirms the
shortage in foreign countries. The visI-
BILE supply in the United States is twenty
million less than year ago. We con-
slider it good judgment to buy wheat on
all breaks for good advance.
Corn and Oats-A fraction lower in
sympathy with the easier feeling ia
wheat. Receipts continue exceedingly
light and will not go in until better
prices are quoted.
Provisions-Contin light run of
hogs caused a continuation of a better
feeling in pork with Armour & Co., lead
ing the buying both pork and lard.
Provisions are too low and a good adj
vance is due,
