Gold Mine.

San Francisco, Aug. 28.-The Anchor
Point gold mine at Cooks Inlet, Alas

M'kINLEY ON A WHEEL.
Arrival of a Beautiful Machine at the
White House Sets Washington
Tongues a-Wagging.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Is President
Mckinley going to learn to ride the
bike?
The question is asked by the White
House employees since the arrival this
morning of a beautiful machine adj
dressed to the president.
His riding will cause little surprise.
He is great believer in physical ex-
ercise and walks and rides as much if
not more than any of his predecessors.
There is plenty of room for him to
learn to ride in the White House
grounds, and the asphalt streets are
constant invitation to the experts.
Should the president take to the GUS
tom his cabinet would doubtless follow
suit.

SHE WAS HYPNOTIZED.
Sensational Developments in Damage
Suit Resulting From Hotel Fire.

Tallulah Falls, Ga, Aug. 2S.-A suit
for $3.50 damages has just been filed
in this county which develops a very
sensa tionally unique story.
Mrs. Fairbanks Higgins and her pref
ty daughter of Atlanta have been
spending the summer here, and in the
burning of the Grand View hotel. at
which they were stopping, lost their
possessions, amounting to 1850. They
sued the proprietress to recover.
Mrs. B. A. Young, for the hotel, files
an answer, alleging in substance that at
an evening sociable the young lady was
hypnotized and playfully commanded to
fire the hotel.
When she retired to her room it is
claimed that she literally obeyed the
injunction and thus robbed herself of a
right to sue.

BIGGEST OF POTATO CROPS
Greeley Will Ship 1000 Cars of the
Tnhers This z ear.

Denver, Aug Csc. H. Clark of
Greeley is registered at the ST. James
hotel. Potatoes said he, will start
in this year at IS to rs cents per 100
pounds, and 1000 to 5000 cars will be
shipped. Last year a number of the
farmers had potatoes left on their hands
at the end of the season, but the ex-
perience is not likely to be repeated this
year. I would estimate that the potato
belt will send out 900 cars this fall and
next winter Last season the output
was 5000 cars but the yield this year
will be the heaviest the region has ever
known.
Potatoes will be 20 per cent higher this
year than they were last. The crop in
northern Colorado is most excellent. The
potatoes are large and smooth, and the
yield in some instances will be p1enom-
email.

MR. sTRYKER AGAIN STIRRED
Now Wants to Put American Book
Co.'s Agent in Penitentiary.

Emissaries of evil have been assailing
State Superintendent Stryker and he
has been charged with having some re-
lations with the book companies which
are not altogether regular and becom-
ing a gentleman OCCUPYING the position
of superintendent of all the schools of
Kansas.
He AYERS that these malicious reports
come from the minions of the American
book trust and says: There is no
greater curse to Kansas than the book
trust. They have been carrying thous-
ands of dollars out of the state for
years and are now engaged in hiring
lawyers to fight the new school book
law, urging boards of education and
district boards to violate the law, and
making themselves generally obnoxious
to a decent and law abiding people.
THESE companies, especially the
American Book company, have been
continuously engaged in a violation of
all laws and an agent of the latter COM
pany, Mr.. Harry Wilson, made efforts
to buy a sufficient number of votes in
the last legislature to defeat the will
of the people on the school book bill.
If Mr.. Wilson will return to Topeka I
will do all in my power to aid in placing
him in the penitentiary, where he be-

sultan's Time Is short.

Constantinople: All the ambassadors
of the powers have now received in
structions To concert fresh proposals
with a view of improving the condition
in the Ottoman empire. All the pow
ers, including Russia, as repeatedly an
nounced, have agreed in principle to
the eXpediency of employing some
form of coercion should the sultan be
reluctant.
London: The powers have finally
become convinced that the sultans
promises amount to nothing and they
are determined to begin policy of CO.
ercion. There is reason to believe that
unless the sultan, within the next 10
days, shows a Difference of which he is
at present little suspected, very decisive
steps will be undertaken in the name
of the joint powers. In this connec-
ton the Novoe Vremya, of st. Peters
burg, says that it is probable that
within few days the Russian Black
sea feet will appear in the Bosphorus,
where it will be joined by the squad
rons of the other powers from the
Dardanelles.
Another Constantinople dispatch
says that the sultan melted the newly
elected Armenian patriarch, Mon
signor Ormanian, to sign a document
admitting that the Armenians were
solely responsible for the recent troub-
les, thanking the sultan for his elem
ency, declaring on behalf of the Ar
menians that they are completely sat
isfied with the reforms instituted, and
that they are not DESTROYS of foreign
interference. The CORE spondent SAYS:
1.-The patriarch refused to sign this
statement, and quilted the patriarch
late and sent his resignation to the
porte. 1t has not yet been accepted. ="

For a New County.

A strong effort will be made to pro-
vide for n new county this winter by
the legislature from portions of On
tonagon and Gogebic counties. The
towns of Even, Matchwood, Pori,
Trout Creek and Choate are DESTROYS of
being set off from ontonagon county,
and if possible, securing the townships
of Marenisco and Watersmeet from
Gogebic county, and of Laird and
Duncan from Houghton county, the
latter townships including the import
ant towns of 'Kenton, Kitchi and Sid
nav. These communities are all in
terested in the same pursuits, but the
numbering towns of Duncan and Laird
are tied to Houghton county, which is
interested in copper mining, and are
100 miles away from the county seat.
