Woman in Politics.

Tekamah, Neb., Nov. 15. - Miss
Alice Thomson and Professor G. S.
Laughlin were married last evening.
The affair grew out of the election.
Professor Laughlin has been principal
of the local high school for some time,
and Miss Thomason had been his as
sistant. He was a Republican and his
pretty helper protested the Popullst
faith.
This fall Professor Laughlin became
a candidate for superintendent of pub
lie instruction in Burt county. The
Populists induced Miss Thomason to
accept their nomination. The cam
paign became quite animated. Miss
Thomson made speeches in opposition
to Laughlin and the fight was spirited.
On the eve of election, when it was
too late for the Populists to select a
new candidate, Miss Thomson with
drew from the race. As Mr.. Laughlin
had practically no opposition he was
elected. The next day cards an
nouncing their approaching marriage
were sent out.
Both o admit that they intended
to be married all the time, but thought
all was fair in politics and took this
method of being sure OF the position
they coveted.

c.. C. Burns Says the Are
Still Waiting for the Boats

Seattle, Nov. IL. - The steamer
Homer arrived here this afternoon from
Juneau. Among her passengers wa
G. G. Burns, who left Dawson City,
September 90. Burns poled up the
Yukon and came out over the Chilkoot
trail. He stated that when he left
Dawson no one had started down the
Yukon for provisions. The people
we're daily expecting boats from st.
Michaels. They thought that the boats
were delayed by accident, and knew
nothing of their inability 10 ascend the
river. Burns said there would be no
starvation at Dawson this winter,
though rations would be limited with
some.
According to Burns, the only new
gold discoveries made this year we're on
sulphur creek, and that field was not
proving so rich as Eldorado or Bonanza
creeks. Burns brought down with him
about SO, 900 in nuggets and dust, the
result OF two years work.

A ~FRIENDLESS PEOPLE.
spain's Effort to Purchase warships
Is "a Failure.

London, Nov. 15.-According to the
correspondent of the Daily Mail the
Spanish naval authorities seem to re-
gard the Spanish navy as superior to
the navy of the United States, which
may explain some of the bellicose
utterances of the Spanish press.
In connection with Spain's hunt for
warships, American diplomats have
learned that Spain recently endeavored
to make an arrangement with Japan
whereby, in the event of war with the
United States, the 80 or so warships
now building in various shipyards for
Japan would be transferred to Spain,
and it is supposed that, upon the failure
of these negotiations, the Spanish gov
eminent entered upon a deal with
Chile for the transfer to the Spanish
flag of several vessels about completed
for the Chilean republic.
The diplomats referred to express
the opinion that, from the standpoint
of international law, the completion OF
such a deal might he regarded as an
un%friendly act toward the United
States.
Besides the Rothschilds, other prom
inent fnanciers of London and Paris
have entirely cut off the monetary sup
plies which Spain has hitherto succeed
ed in obtaining.

our crops are the wonder of the world,
our mines most productive, and the at

attracted to this state as the one. above
all others, most favored of God; and,
with all this, and more,
peace like a river wide and free

"That we have been given these
marks of divine favor is we'll calculated
to inspire us with thanktulness and to
cause us to employ hat aid which

MURDER AT CARSON.
United States Attorney Jones Killed
by a Boy.

by a Boy.
Carson, New, Nov. 1.-THE entire
state has been startled and shocked at
the murder late this afternoon of
Charles A. Jones, United States district
attorney, by Julian Guinan, the TO-
year-old son of a we'll known physician.
The prominence of all connected with
the affair, the peculiar attendant cir
cumstances, and the s%uddenness OF the
tragedy make it n OF the most ensa-
tional happenings in the history of
Nevada.
Jones death was caused by a bullet
wound in the head, and for a time mys.
terry surrounded every. circumstance
connected with the killing. At first 1t
was thought that Jones had committed
suicide, but no weapon being found ON
his person nor near the scene of the
shooting, it became evident that his
death had been caused by another, and
an hour later young Guinan surrendered
himself at the sheriff's office and con-
fessed to the killing.
The statement of the youth, who is
now in Jail, is to the effect that imme-
diately prior to the shooting, he had
observed his sister talking to Jones,
with whom his father had forbidden
association, when he saw DR.. Guinan
approaching. Believing trouble to be
inevitable when the two men should
meet, the boy procured a Winchester
rifle and stationed himself at a window
of the house, as he says, for the pur-
pose of protecting his father. Upon
encountering Jones, DR.. Guinan said
to him:
This is the last time | shall ever
warn you against keeping company
with my daughter"
Jones jeered at the doctor, in COM
ment upon this warning, and slipped
his hand in his right-hand pocket.
Guinan states that he had often heard
his father threaten to kill Jones and
that the district attorney always carried
a revolver, which, he believed from
jones' action, was about to be drawn,
and he fired at Jones in anticipation of
an attack upon his father.
Jones fell for ward dead, the bullet
having entered above his right eye and
passing out at the neck behind. Miss
Guinan, seeing Jones fall, threw her.
self upon him and embraced the dead
body. When the coroner took charge
Of the remains, Jones' hand was still
in lis pocket, but no weapon was found.
Jones was about 33 years old, was
married and left a widow and a child
at his home in Reno, whence he came
this morning on official business. He
was necessarily in Carson much of the
time, and while here his attention tc
Miss Guinan occasioned so much tall
that DR.. Guinan had been aggravated
into making threats against Jones
which indirectly led to the latter's
murder by the DOCTORS on. Jones had
served as district attorney during one
of the most stormy criminal sessions
ever held in the United States court in
Nevada, rendered notable by the prose
cution and conviction Of those con.
cerned in the notorious robberies al

merce Building, Portland, oregon,l
In describing the local conditions of
the Chicago wheat market for Decem-
Der delivery it is simply a matter of
opinion whether to assert the market
Is manipulated or not. The latter
~supposition is the more reasonable.
Stocks of contract wheat have been ex-
h1usted by the unprecedented export
and interior demand. High values OBJ
tanning have induced speculative short
sales, with the resulting condition of u
constantly oversold and congested mar
ket. Granting all of which to be true,
the general conditions which ordinarily
control values are so extremely favor
able to high prices that it is a matter
OF great doubt as to whether specula-
tion has played any important part in
advancing and maintaining values.
Export clearances of wheat and flour
for the week have been large. The ex-
port demand continues urgent and
promises to increase rather than di-
minish. Stocks at market centers
show but a small increase for the season
compared with previous years, al
though the forward movement of the
crop has been unusually large. Receipts
at primary points are beginning to fall
off, and it is becoming more and more
apparent that the spring crop of the
Northwest has been over-estimated.
The continued drought assures only a
moderate acreage seeded to winter
wheat, and that under favorable condi-
tions. Crop advices from Argentine
continue conflicting and contradictory.
Advices from Australia assert that
their crop will be below an average and
give no surplus for export. France
continues to buy wheat freely. From
all reports, public and private, it is a
certainty that European stocks are I'M
usually small and European require.
ments abnormally large. The prospect
for the immediate future seems to fully
warrant present values for wheat, and
should any disaster overtake the Argen-
tine crop it is probable that they wille
be fully maintained if not materially
advanced during the balance of our crop
year.
The situation regarding corn values
shows a decided improvement during
the week, although still possessing ele-
ments of radical weakness. Stocks, al
ready larger than ever before recorded,
show no immediate signs of decreasing.
On the other hand, the cash demand,
both for home consumption and ex-
port, shows a gratifying increase. Val
ues are now 10 cents per bushel below
an average for the last ten years, and
the new crop is certainly below an av-
srage in yield. There is little to war.

TREATY WITH CANADA.
Reciprocal Arrangement viii Be EN-.
tered Into.

'eTtu inCO.
Washington, Nov. l5.-Defnite ar
engagements have been made for taling
up the subjects of a reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Canada
and to this end meetings have been ar.
ranged for between John W.. Kasson.
who is especially delegated by Presi.
dent Mckinley to conduct reciprocity
negotiations, and Sir Wilfred Laurier,
the Canadian premier, and Sir Louis
Dawes, the minister of marine. This
is the result of the long and friendly
conference held yesterday between Sec
rotary Sherman and Sir Wilfred. The
meeting will be held during the present
visit of the Canadian officials, but no
exact time for it has yet been fixed, as
it will depend somewhat on the time
which can be spared from the Behring
sea sessions. Arrangements are also
contemplated for taking up the question
OF border immigration, North Atlantic
fisheries, lake fisheries and all other
subjects affecting the two countries.
The meeting with Mr.. Kasson will,
however, be confined to reciprocity, as
he is delegated by the president to treat
on that subject alone. 1t is not ex-
pected that the reciprocity treaty itself
can be matured during the present trip
of the Canadian officials, the desire be-
ing to arrive at some common under
standing at this time and perfect details
later.

San Francisco Merchants Ask That 1t
Be Closed.
San Francisco, Nov. 12.-At a meet
ing of merchants and manufacturers in
terested in securing the Alaskan trade
for this city, Captain Goodall, a mem
Der of the firm in which United States
Senator Perkins is interested, stated
that while supplies may be purchased
Just as cheaply in this country as in
Canada, the purchaser will be obliged
to pay a duty of 20 per cent to carry
them through the British possessions.
On the other hand, the opening of Dyea
and Skaguay as supports of entry will
allow him to purchase them in Victoria
and carry them on to the mines duty
free.
He declared that the establishment
of Dyea as a support of entry was an
injustice to the interests of the citizens
of the United States, and had been
granted at the request of the Canadian
Pacific railroad.
1t was ordered that the joint COM
mittee of the chamber Of commerce,
board of trade and Merchants Associa-
ton be instructed to draft resolutions
calling on the proper authorities to
close the SUPPORT Of entry at Dyea and
to cooperate with all the cities OF the
Pacific coast to that end.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
IS by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound, or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing out
