They seem to be striking it pretty good
in the new state Of Washington accord
ing to the latest reports from Seattle,
which is To the effect that G. b. Benton
has reached that city with over $1,000
worth of gold nuggets, the result of ten
days work on a Williams creek placer
claim, in the Swsuk district, Kittitas
county. One nugget was worth $500, an
other $l20, others $50 and $50, and down
to very small pieces. He has been
working the claim since January, and
since that time has taken ont $1,000.
The Swauk placers are old and we'll
known, but have been worked only in a
crude way. One man who owns claim
there has been working it quietly for
six year, during which time he has
made about $4,000. Mr.. Benton sunk
shaft l03 feet to bed rock before he
made his find. He says the Klondyke
has no attractions for him.

The German government has again
entered formal protest against the
application to German sugar Of section
of the new tariff act, by which such
sugar would be taxed with higher
duty than that from other countries. 1t
is not denied, however, that the Ger
man sugar clearly comes within the
provision of section 5 by reason of the
payment of an export bounty, but the
contention is made that the additional
duty imposed is in effect discrimina-
tion against German sugar, which is
incompatible both with the most favor
ed nation rights that are secured to
German productions by the treaties
now in force and also with the pro-
visions Of the Saratoga agreement of
August %, 1891.

Conovas is Dead.


Senor Conovas Del Castillo, the prime
minister of Spain was assassinated Aug.
9Th by an Italian anarchist who gives
his name as Rinaldi. The murderer
fred three shots each taking effect, two
through the head, and one in the chest.
The wounded man fingered for two
hours ard died at three o'clock in the
afternoon. The murderer, when arrest
ed, declared that he killed Conovss from
| just revenge. He says that he had no
/ accomplices, and it is bslieYed that th e
deed is not political but the work Of a
! fanatical anarchist.
Col. A. A. Augura, who is stopping in
Washington, says: "The assassination
of Conovas will result in the dsthrone-
ment Of the Spanish monarchy and the
freedom OF Cuba The people Of Spain
are ripe for revolution. being discon-
tented over the high taxation which
grinds them down, in some cases to
starvation. This is the beginning OF
the revolutionary movement and is
connected with the recent attempt on
the life of the queen. There is great
dissatisfaction over the result of the
war in Cuba and to remove Canovas

was the supporter of Weyler, who was
sent to Cuba by him and kept there by
him. The two divided the spoils OF
Cuba and Spain. / am of the opinion
he will be succeeded by Sagasta his
political rival and The leader Of the
liberal party. sagasta will undoubtedly
take immediate steps to conciliats the
Cubans by granting them reforms. but
it will be too late. i expect to see Cuba

lie of Spain established soon after

Secretary Sherman interview.

A Representative Of the New York
World had a recent interview with
Secretary Sherman, just previous to his
return to Washington from Amagansett,
Long Island. In his interview Mr..
Sherman is represented as saying:
Spain VIII lose Cuba. That seems
to me to be certain. She cannot con-
tinus the struggle. Already the con-
fct has cost her more than $500, ,0O0, 900.
Her money is gone, and she cannot get
more. She has reached the limit Of her
borrowing capacity. She cannot pay
back what she has already borrowed.
The only thing left for her to do is to
repudiate her debts. We had to do
that after the revolution. Having re.
pudiated them, she can begin anew, but
she will have to begin without Cuba.
That country is devastated. The insur-
gents have been fighting with only the
hope of ultimate success as their reward.
The Spanish soldiers have been battl.
ing for pay. The pay will stop, and
then the conflict will stop.
Spain is in no condition to wage
war anywhere. The burdens placed
upon her people to sustain the strug.
gle for retaining Cuba have been very
heavy. Widespread discomfort will
come sooner or later within the Span
ish kingdom. BY stopping the struggle,
by Withdrawing her troops from Cuba
and by repudiatfng her debts is her
only way to recover. Sooner or later
she must do this. So far We have done
nothing to arouse the anger of the
Spanish people. We have gone on
minding our own business. blind to the
distress Of Cuba and deaf to the plead.
ings Of our own people, who wanted
the government to interfere"
or Hawaii, Secretary Sherman said :
Il cannot divulge the instructions given
to Minister Sewsll. What they are will
develop as time passes. But l can say
that there will be no change in the sit
uation In Hawaii until congress recon-
venes. There can be no change, because
the terms Of the pending treaty. which
have been approved by President Nc
KInlsy. must bo observed"
The secretary said that the United
States would not guarantee the carrying
out the terms Of arbitration between

well armed. attacked the government

Mr.. Walcott further said: "In the art
provided for the surveys it is explicitly
stated that no public forest reservation
shall be established except to improve
and protect the forest within the reser-
yation. or for the purpose of securing
favorable conditions of water flows and
to furnish continuous supply Of tim
Der for the use and necessities Of cit
liens of the United States. Also that it
is not the purpose nor Intention of the
act to authorize the inclusion with the
reserves OF lands more valuable for the
mineral therein or for agricultural pur-
poses than for forest purposes, Other
provisions are that the secretary of the
interior shall make provisions for the
protection Of the forest reserves against
hre and depredations that he shall
prescribe rules and regulations for the
purpose of preserving the living aud
growing timber and promoting the
younger growth; that the dead. mature
or larger growth of trees may be sold at
their appraised value, to be used in the
state or territory in which such timber
may be situated. There is nothing in
the act, as have SAID before" remarked
Mr.. Walcott, "that prohibits the locat-
ing of mining property, prospecting
and mining and milling industries. 1t
is the purpose of the government to
prevent the wanton destruction of tim
Der by irresponsible parties, both BY
cutting il and by fires which are caused
in most cases by leaving the limbs and
boughs scattered about, contrary to law.
Timber may be cut for mining purposes,
lumber and all domestic purposes, such
as firewood but cannot be shipped out
Of the state. The water in these re-
serves may be utilized also for mining,
domestic and irrigating purposes.
Lands better adapted to mining than
forest purposes may be restored to the
public domain and any mineral lands
on any forest reserve which have been
or may be shown to be such are sub
ject to entry under existing laws Of the
U. S. and the rules and regulations ap-
plying thereto shall continue to be sub
ject TO such location and entry. The
act closes by giving authority to the
president at any time to modify any oil
the forest reserves by rsdeeming the
area or changing the boundary lines
or he may vacate altogether any order
creating such reserves"
Mr.. Walcott informs US that the Can
adian government protects its forests
by patrol, with stations located a,
convenient places and when a fire oc
ours body of men is dispatched te
extinguish it. The results are highly
satisfactory and Of late years fires have
not been frequent nor destructive. A
large geological map Of this distric,
will be made next year. He does
special geological work in some district
each year and this season the work
is being done i'm the Tintic district in
In Utah. Surveys are also made of the
Butte, Mont, and Cripple Creek dis
| tricts.
This is Mr.. Walcott's first visit to the
Black Hills. He has visited nearly
every other mining district of impor.
tance in the country.

Begin Over Again.

As additional information concerning
the discussion of Judge Garland in the
railroad injunction cases the following
comes from Sioux Falls:
"For some days attorneys for all rail-
roads in this state have been before
Judge Garland asking for an injunction
restraining the railroad commissioners
from putting into effect the new rates
created by the legislature last fall.
Judge Garland handed down his deci-
sion this morning. While denying the
demand for temporary injunction, the
decision declares that all work done by
the railway commission prior to July
lst is void that is to say that the hear
ings held in June we're illegal, and that
the schedules agreed upon by the CON-
missioners cannot be enforced since the
commissioners did not lay the necessary
foundation required by law. Under the
decision it will be necessary for the
commissioners to begin over again, to
give new notice, hold new hearings,
promulgate rates and then give ample
notice to the railway companies before
patiing them in force. Thus the com.
panies will have tirre to analyzs the
rates before they 60 into effect and. if
they think best, to begin injunction
proceedings.
The decision is a particularly severe
defeat for Judge Palmer. At the meet
ings of the commissioners two months
ago Attorney Null took the same posi-
ton as laid down by Judge Garland.
He insisted the Palmer plan was illegal
and would certainly bring defeat. He
argued the case elaborately, but Palmer
was sure his way was right and dsclar-
ed ii was his full intention at Pierre to
deprive the railroads of an opportunity
to review the new rates before they
went into operation. He carried the
commission with him, and the result
is delay of two or three months in ss-
tablishing the rates."

WRONG AND RIGHT EATING.
One Makes Us Weak, the Other
Makes Us strong.

Wrong eating makes us weak, because
1t doesn't nourish us. 1t poisons us, be-
cause it sets up poisonous fermentation
in our stomach and the poisons so into
our blood.
Wrong eating is eating hdigestihle
food or eating more than our stomach Is
able to digest.
Right eating Is eating digestible food,
food that the stomach is able to digest.
food that will nourish you when 1t Is d.
gested.
Right eating strengthens and invigor-
ates the body, gives endurance. increases
weight and restores health.
Wrong eating can he made right by
taking the Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
preparation, made by the Shakers from
simple herbs roots and wine. is delicious,
refreshing and strengthening to the
body. 1t is a powerful aid to digestion.
1t does not act by strongly stimulating
the stomach, but with its own digestive
ferments acts on the food in the stomach,
and reduces, instead of increasing, the
work which the stomach has to do.
This is why 1t increases your strength,
why it will cure you of all the bad effects
of Indigestion and of insufficient nourish-
ment and purifies your system of all dan
gerous indigestive poisons, when nothing
else has been found TO relieve you.
