Consultations with Professor Marti-
nes do not always bring JOY to the
troubled heart. He reveal, facts as he
finds them.
An aged father sought his aid to find
his lost son. He sent him away in
sorrow. His son was revealed to him
in "A distant state serving a life sentence
in the penitentiary for murder.
The Professor has made fortune IN
mines for himself and he can do rs
much for others. From samples of ore
he has accurately located lodges and
predicted the quality and value of the
rock. Since he has been in Lewiston he
has demonstrated his power to locate
exactly ore deposits which he has not
seen. He discovered to some confused
W
act location of true tissure vein for
which some prospectors had been
searching for years. They were led to
surmise its existence from float and
they did great deal of work on a
fault without finding the ledge which
was near by. The Professor revealed
the exact location of the ledge, It's ex-
tent, its course and its dip. his mine
is now to be stocked for Il million dol
lars and will he one great feature OF
our immediate recognition as the
greatest mining district in the North

Prof Marines Is devoting Il great
deal OF time to our mining interests.
He predicted great future for the
Clearwater basin before his arrival in
this city nut its marvellous richness
has been revealed to him more fully
by the cabinet of ores that has been
presented to him for examination. He
will invest almost unlimited capital in
some of these properties. These in

Results on the Reservation.

y. {. Dunlap, Il settler upon reserva-
ton lands, was Il caller last Saturday
and he related an interesting exper-
lence. He was late arrival in the
spring of 1896. He planted crop of
eighteen cres covering good range
OF the farm products of that country
HIS location is seven miles south from
the Lapwai pest Office. His success
furnishes evidence that is very positive
OF the productiveness of the soil and
favorable conditions of climate. lie
planted ten acres of wheat and barley,
two acres of hay, two acres of corn.
two of cane, one of beans and one of
potatoes and other garden truck. From
this field he harvested 800 bushels of
wheat and barley, two tons of oats
hay and two tons of Hungarian grass
lIo gallons of sorghum molasses, 100
sacks of potatoes, 1000 heads of cabbage,
sixty bushels of corn and 1900 pounds
OF beans, These Yields speak for them
selves. The quality was first class in
every particular. Mr.. Dunlap is an
Ohioan and he says the corn was as
good as lac ever raised in his native
state and it ripened two months before
any killing frost came. The sorghum
was extra fine and sold readily in the
spring for siXty-five cents per gallon.
The climate during the growing season
of last year was reputed to be unusually
dry but these good crops and satisfac-
tory yields were secured without irri-
CATION from the natural moisture of
the soil which is moist, deep, black
and easily subdued to the condition of
Il perfect seed bed. The fall aud winter
have been very favorable for farm
work on the part of the new settlers.
MIR. Dunlap plowed in the fall until
the November freeze and after IA short
delay began again in January aud
plowed nearly all winter. The action
of the elements upon the up-turned
virgin soil has put it in perfect con-
dition for spring crops and this man

Prof. John Stenrns OF Michigan has
been visiting in Lewiston for few
weeks. He is an educated and prac-
tical horticulturalist. The iplura: adj
vantages of this valley for The fruit
growers have occasioned him constant
wonder. At the same time he has
been shocked by observation Of the un-
practical methods of the orch ardists
here. The experience of years aftel "A
thorough course in an old-country agri-
cultural school makes Mr. Stearns an
authority on the habits of growth of
trees and fruits. The prevailing
methods Of pruning are severely con-
demned 10y this authority. He says
the pruner should study the nature of
every variety ot tree and without some
knowledge of the botanical habits of
the different classes the pruner Is as
dangerous as the surgeon with no
other knowledge than the use of saw.
He admits that all fruits except the
peach may be grown, Tut not up to
the highest standard by haphazzard
pruning except the peach. This de-
licious and special product of our
valley cannot be grown without the
application of science in the fruit
growers work. Improper pruning
has caused failure in many districts
that were suited to the growth Of the
peach. Upon the other hand the sue
cess of large districts Is clearly due to
, correct principles applied in this di-
rection. Every observer knows the
peach grows to perfect form on the
young growth of wood. An old peach
tree is practically worthless. The
principle then il apparent that the
orchardist should prune to promote
the largest possible growth of new
wood every year. The peach tree
rea Oily reproduces itself from the root,
IL feature rarely observed in arboreal
research. 1t Is possible to have only
young peach trees In the old orchards,
and attention to this natural tendency
by the pruner is the secret key.

Mrs Geddes' Murderer Hanged.

Paxton, Ills, May 15.-Fred Hoell-
man, alias Hartman. was hanged in the
Jail in this city yesterday morning in the
presence of about fifty witnesses.
Hoellman, alias Hartman, was hung
for killing Mrs. Weibke Geddes, having
been convicted on circumstantia1 evil
dence. Geddes, the husband, worked
on a farm more than mile from his
home. On the morning of Dec. 2, 1896,
he got up at o'clock and went to his
task husking corn. At o'clock neigh
Dor called at the home and found the
body of Mrs. Geddes on the floor Of her
room with a cord around her neck, the
other end of the cord being fastened
to a door-knob. There was evidence
of a fearful struggle, one of Mrs.
Geddes' legs being broken and her body
covered with bruises. Marks on the
neck of her little girl showed that she
had been choked, doubtless into insensi-
bility, and possibly left for dead

action at present, and action will prob

Windsor, Ont, May 1S.-The case of

Miss Florence McDonagh, niece of
Sir John CARING, on his death bed last
week, is causing much excitement here
on account of the disparity of the ages
of the contracting parties. Previous to
their marriage Jewell had transferred
his insurance policies to Miss McDon-
agh's name and his will has been made
in her favor. 1t is probable the will
is to be disputed by Don G. Jewell, a

In the house the presidents message
was read and Dingley wanted to pass

amendment recognizing the belligerence
of the Cuban rebels, to which Dingley
objected, and as neither would yield the
matter went over Cochran of Mis-

There Is a possibility of a clash be-
tween the friends of the Cuban bel

The advocates Of the Cuban resolution
apprehend that their opponents will
make an effort to prevent vote before
next Monday, when the tariff bill is
to be taken up under agreement. Nor
gan is hopeful of securing a vote before
that time. Mason, who is an enthusi-
astic supporter of the Cuban cause, said
last night that il a vote should be pre-
vented this week by filibustering tactics
the tariff bill could not be taken up
Monday. I'VE must have vote on
Cuba before the tariff is considered" he

CITIZEN TRAINS CLAIM ON OMAHA.
Ex-Mayor Bemis States Its Origin and It's
Status at the Present.

Omaha, Neb., May 19.-Mayor Bemis
yesterday gave out a statement regard
ing the claim of George Francis Train
for a large tract Of Omaha land. He
said that in 1865 George Francis Train
purchased from the Kountze brothers
and Samuel E. Rogers a tract of 500
acres of land lying in the eastern part OF
the city.
Ex-Mayor Bemis, who is relative of
Train, and was intimately associated
with him during the entire time covered
by the transactions about to be brought
into question, says that the purchase
price of this land was about 100000. AT
the time of purchase Train paid $4,000
in cash and gave mortgage as security
for the balance. The next move in con-
nection with this land, so far as the pres
ent situation is concerned, was in 1873,
when the land was sold under foreclos-
ure proceedings
