NITRATE KING DEAD.
Colonel North, tho Afultimiiiionaire, Dies
suddenly OF ApOplezy In London.

Colonel North, tho AfuItimiilionaire, Dies
suddenly OF Apoplexy In London.
LoxDoN. May G--Colonel John Thomas
North, known as the Nitrate King, died
suddenly and under somewhat peculiar
circumstances at the Offices OF the Nitrate
company IN the Woolpack building tn this
city. Colonel North was in apparently
good health ard had attended a mootsng
OF the gunno syndiclta after which he re-
turned 20 his private Offices in tho snme
building. Ho had a drink with some
friends at a saloon in the samo building
and then mounted the stairs In order TO
attond a meeting Of Nitrate company
Prior to this meeting Colonel North ate
dozen ovstcrn and drank bottle OF stout
both OF which were sent to him from
ncgiLor!ng restaurant Shortly after
word he complained OF severe pairS lall-
Cd for brandy. lie drank some but col
lnpsed in his chair aud expired soon after.
PHYSICIANS were summoned almost imme-
dlately after tho colonel tainted, but their
efforts were unavailing. An autopsy and
inquest will be hold this afternoon. Mean
while the body, under police guard, will
remain In the room where the colonel
died until tho end Of the inquest.
The shells OF the oysters which he ate
We're taken lOesta1ion Ol bT ltlt N1AiNo oAA
will be preserved until after an examina-
tion has been made 20 ascertain whether
the food was wholesome or oontained'any
poisonous substance. The officials OF the
Nitrate company are retirert about the
matter and were even reluctant 20 admit
that the colonel was dead.
It Is generally believed Colonel North
died from stroke of apoplexy. as at first
generally believed. and that tho oysters.
stout and drink at the bar probably were
the diroct cause Of the attack.
The death OF Colonel North has caused
considerable excitement I'm financial cir.
cles and crented sensation when it was
announced in the lobby Of tho house OF
commons.
The lato Cyrus W. Fold, speaking Of
Colonel Norths fortune once said, "a
billion dollars is a greater sum than the
human mind can grasp, but whom we
have a man like John Thomas North,
with the wonderful resources of a eonti-
nent at his back, you can't tell what will
happen" The most conservative esti-
mated Colonel North's fortune as amount
ing to e2OO, 600, 600. Some estimates mado
It as high as $500, 600, 600, but these were
no doubt oxtravagant.

The Discovery is not called a con-

1t is absurd to doctor them separately as

Further Evidence CT Conspiracy
Against the Transvaal.
REVELATIONS BY LONDON TRUTH.

A Strong Plea For Hammond and the
other Americans Were Loyal to
the Boer Government - Congrossmcn
Sign Petition For Their Pardon.
LoNDoN, May 6-Truth claims to have
unearthed additional details of tho con
spirncy leading up to the Jameson raid
which paints the participators in the plot
in still darker colors than have the dis
closures mnde by tho Transvaal govern
ment.
Truth says IL Is crodibly informed that
President Kruger possesses evidence that
the Intention OF DR.. Jameson was to march
upon Pretoria frst, TO seize President
Kruger and then 70 proceed TO Johannes
burg with the president prisoner
In an editorial the paper dilates in still
moro imbittered terms upon tho jameson
raid II says:
1.-The main object Of the raid was to an
mex the rich mining district Of the Trans
yaal TO RhodesiA 1t IS obvious that the
flrst news Of the raid would cause a fall in
shares. / am prepared to prove that
syndicate was formed just prior to the
raid, including a leading director In and
one of the chief officials of tho British
Chartered South Africa company, for the
purpose OF making large bear sales. The
seed having thus been sown for securing
profit by the immediate fall and an ulti-
mate profit by rebuying whom the raid
was successful and a rich slice Of the
Transvanl had been added to Charterland,
steps were taken to carry out the con-
splracy.
Divergency of Opinion.
"The tenor Of the 'cryptograms' shows
that there was a divergence of opinion be-
tween the Rhodoses (Cecfl Rhodes and
his brother, Colonel Francis Hhodes) and
Alfred Belts representatives among the
roformers, and that those not connected
with the gang were responsible for the
failure Of tho scheme.
"Thesa kilograms are damning alike to
tho Chartered company and TO Mr.. Rhodes.
II Is clear that the raid was planned by
Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Belt and the secfo
tary Of the Chartered South Africa com
pany. Tho telegram from Hammond to
Rhodes, saying Cannot arrange respective
Interests without Belt, shows that the
aim was purely for a stock exchange deal.
These miscreants therefore. planning q
raid which must have led to the death OF
many and which was based on robbery,
were actually already dlsputing I'm regard
to their respective shares OF the plunder." F"
The article then proceeds to severely at.
tack Cecil Rhodes, comparing him to
.Iabez Balfour. tho first statesman to APP
ply TO imperial politics the methods Of the
shady company promoter
Truth thon concludes its article as fol
lows: Had Cecil Rhodes remained pfc
rnicr of Cape Colony, l am convinced that
as soon as IL suited his purposes he would
have turned on US (tho British govern.
mont) and sought 20 out the chain which

In the morning be was difficult to
rouse, as he might be after so heavy a
night, but the doctor said he would do
right enough if We would give him a
rest for day or two. And so he did,
though his nerve was so shaken that
we had to send him back to the plain
where there were no lattlesnakes. 1t
appeared later that Louie had cher
ished a morbid dread of snakes for a
long while, ever since he had in hand
the killing OF one six feet long down
in the republic of Mexico though af-
ter a couple of years on the ranch he
had almost forgotten that there were
such things. \ man that Is nervous

he need never die of snake-bite. If

Fatal Stampede of Sheep.

News has reached Tacoma, Wash,
of very peculiar fatality which oc-
Cured on the eastern slope of the
Cascade Mountains, near the line Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. An
experienced sheep herder was busy
with a herd of 5000 sheep, and was
urging them toward the snow line,
where they could secure fresh grass
Some of the leaders showed a desire to
proceed in another direction, and the
herder, Andrew Nelson, started to
head them off. AS he did so a crack
ling sound in the brush near by start
ed the leaders, and they rushed pell-
NELL down a gentle incline, and passed
Nelson. The herd began stSmPeding,
following the leaders, and the herder
was knocked down in their trying to
pass over him, and general mix up
followed.
AS the place where Nelson was is a
narrow depression, through which the
sheep had to pass, they began press
ing in upon him, stumbling over the
falling ones and piling up until he
was smothered to death under the in
creasing weight. The sheep kept on
stampeding and climbing upon each
other until nearly half the entire herd
was helplessly entangled in the ravine.
Eleven hundred OF the sheep were
smothered or trampled to death, and
their. bodies are still piled on top Of
Nelson's corpse.

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctors prescription fo1
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema.
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair OF
crutches. Then comes falling OF
