INEXPERIENCED BATS.
Found in a Cavern 100 Feet Below
the Surface of the Earth.
From the San Francisco can.

the Surface OF the Earth.
From the San Francisco Call.
A nest of live bats was found 100 feet
under ground in Snowshoe gulch, near
Cottage Grove. the other day. This Is
oonsideiel a most remarkable discov-
cry, and those who have visited the place
and seen the animals are at a loss to ac-
count for it.
John Dinman and Andrew Wilson have
been developing a claim in the gulch by
running a tunnel to reach the vein. The
tunnel runs obliquely, and few days ago,
when a depth of $50 feet had been reached,
the rock began to assume a different con-
dition. 1t sounded loose or hollow in
that particular spot, and the partners
knew that they were nearing what in min
ers' parlance Is called "a change"
Their "holes" were nearly loaded when
this discovery was made, but they con-
tinued loading and then went to the sur
face and touched off the charge. Upon
their return they expected to find a vein
uncovered, or at least a different rock
from that through which they were run
ming.
But a quite different matter attracted
their attention when they went back TO
the end of the tunnel and the circum>
stance has been the wonder of the entire
country ever since. 1t has created an inn
mense amount of discussion. scientific and
otherwise, but no certain explanation has
yet been adduced.
Instead Of finding ore or any particular
change in the rock they found the tun-
mel fun Of bats The cause OF the pecu,
liar sound that indicated a change Of
ground was a small cave, and into lhis
their last shots broke, and out of IL came
the bats. How the bats got into the
cave Is the problem, and what sustained
them there? The point is about 100 feet
below the surface, and there Is appar-
emily no opening or means Of ingress OF
exit The bats when caught and taken
out to the daylight appeared to be with
out eyes and able TO fly but a little way,
in fact. their wings were but meagerly
developed. The first thing that attract
ed the mems attention upon their return
to the tunnel was the peculiar odor.
which, Notwithstanding the amount OF
gas from the explode powder, was quite
disagreeable.
The only solution OF the strange occur
renee that has yet been offered lies In
the fact that the rock Is Of metamorphio
and aqueos origin, and being IN the Cas-
time OF the geological disturbance that
put II into It's present position the bats
had their nests there and then became

LOST \ GOOD PILE.
An Inquisitive Jap Loses Two Hun
dred Dollars.

When Yoshimura, who is hard
working Japanese, left the Olaa coffee
plantation on Hawaii for Honolulu
with glittering gold pieces to the
amount of 5000 concealed in bundle
of clothes, he had little idea the ex-
perience that was in store for him.
He boarded the Kinau at Hilo and
everything was lovely until the chan
mel between Molokai and Oahu was
reached. Here the Kinau passed the
Mauna Loa and both exchanged greet
ings with their whistles.
1oshimura, eager to know what was
going on, left his bundle and went to
the upper deck. When he returned his
outfit had disappeared. He came on
to Honolulu and reported his loss to
the police. Yoshimura will return 10
his old climes, sadder but wiser Jap.

MARVELLOUS RESULTS
GOOD WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY
THE HAGEY INSTITUTE.
Intemperance Disease and Unfor-
Inmates Should BE encouraged to
Cure Themselves-Thirty Cured.

When the Hagey cure was first am
nounced men generally were incredu-
lous, but it is true that the Hagey ctre
has established the fact that intemper-
ance is simply a disease; that we have
no right to have a horror of drinking
man any more than to have horror
of a man who has typhoid fever or any
other disease.
Some of the work done by the lIagcy
Institute in Honolulu even, during the
short period that it has been estpb-
lished here, is simply marvellous. For
instance, fifty-four patients have been
entered from all parts of the city and
given the treatment. Out of this nupi-
Der thirty have already graduated and
the remaining twentyfour are still
undergoing treatment.
The best of results have been OBJ
tanned FRONT hose who have taken the
cure. There were some in this num-
Der who went to the institute with the
awful appetite upon them. and with
the awful consciousness that they
were under disgrace in two of three
ways. Most of these people are hard
working, Industrious men, capable of
earning good wages and salaries
among their fellowmen. \ number are
Der who have finished the treatment
all are at work except two. Similar po-
sitions are now being held foR two or
three of the men now taking the cure.
There have been a few natives, both
men and women, who have undergone
the treatment. They have no desire
for the favorite gin or okalehao now.
A prominent Honolulu physician gives
it as his opinion that if the worst in
ebriates among the natives were treat
ed that but an infnitesimal per cent
age would go back to their old habits.
The impression has been prevalent
among some people that the patients
at the Hagey Institute were worth
less lot This is not the case. Al
most every man or woman who has
entered is a good citizen and capable
of earning his own livelihood were it
not that he was a slave to drink. Only
the higher class of Hawaiians have
been treated. The Institute has the
recognition of the best people in the
city.
\ social club has been formed, which
is made up of outside sympathizers,
as well as the members of the insti-
tute. The club meets every Saturday
evening, when an interesting program
is presented. A literary and music Il
entertainment for the public, which
will be participated in by Honolulu $
best talent, is now being arranged for.
1t will be given in the near future.
The beautiful cottage on Hotel
street, in which the Institute is locat-
ed is becoming an evening resort for
many men who have no homes and no
places to pass the evenings. It is the
sincere wish of the management that
it continue to be so. A billiard and a
pool table, card rooms and a readin :
parlor are among the attractions
There is also general reception and
sitting room attached to the place.

P0PULIST CONVENTION.
Middle of the Readers Call Each
Other Pet Names.

NASHVILLE, TENN, July 6.-The
national conference OF the Peoples
Party had q lively time Monday after
noon. After the appointment of the
COMMITTEES On Resolutions several
resolutions were submitted. One was
to the effect that hereafter any Popu-
list who advocated fusion should be
forever elected from the ranks.
Another declares that il a man sells
his vote he should be deprived of the
right of suffrage now and forever. II
Butler ever attempts to call conven-
tion after the other parties have held
their conventions, he shall be decapi-
tated, was the sum and substance of a
third resolution.
The grand stand performance of the
afternoon was given by Mac Lindsey,
of Nashville, and John 81. Mcdowell,
Of Union City, Tenn. In talk on
Tennessee Populism Mcdowell refer
red to Lindsey, whose whiskers are
very red, as a red-headed sapsucker.
Lindsey in turn said his little speech
and bestowed upon Mcdowell the
epithet of a "mullet-headed buzzard,
who had sold the Populist Party of
Tennessee to the Republicans every
chance he got" Mcdowell could not
stand that, and he mounted the
speakers desk and raped Lindsey
over the head with a cane. Lindsey
struck him and the two men clinched.
They were separated, however, before
any serious damage was done. 1t
seems that the two have been on bad
terms for many years.

THE CHEERFUL WOMAN.
She Meets Domestic Emergencies With
q Generals Skill.

There are emergencies in every
household which call for the display
of statesman's skill. The cheerful
woman is pre- eminent on such occa-
sions. She conquers the grim uncle
or the dyspeptic cousin with her in
fective cheerfulness and her servants
recognize her as their friend and ally
in all matters that are essential to
their welfare. The length of time
she keeps her servants ia source of
wonderment to her less fortunate
friends, but the secret of it is her own
winsome disposition. She soothes
the tired worker with a word of kind
commentator where another might
make querulous complaint. When
direction is needed she delivers it in
such a gentle albeit firm manner that
1t was no sting of reproof.
This gentle, tactfuI woman is not af-
flicted with work that is from s'sun
to sun" or that Is ssneyer DONE" She
does not moralize much, perhaps,
but by some means she manages to
accomplish great deal of work and
have plenty of time at her command
1t is by means of that same cheerful
ness of disposition. There is lest
delay in executing her commands, land
she possesses the gift of "timing he1
turns'' so that sometimes 1t seems az
if the "fairies did help her." And
the fairies of gentle breeding and oi
kind heart do help her.
Heaven bless the cheerful woman

A Romance in Real Life,

Correspon lence OF the Ledger.
CENTRALIA, Mo-, July Elm the
spring of 1897 Miss Myrtle Sumner,
residing z miles southwest of Centra-
liza, and cousin of Mark Twain, wrote
a gushing note and, enclosing it in a
Theoretically sealed bottle, consigned
1T to the charge of Chas. Nevins, who
was about to visit the river bottoms,
with a request to drop the bottle In
the Missouri river at some point near
Rocheport. The request was complied
with. The bottle was found In o DAY
or two on the opposite side of the
river by s. L. Hickum, OF Cooper
county. A correspondence ensued,
finally resulting in a proposal of mar
riage. On July sth Hickum appeared
at the Sumner residence in q stylish
two horse rig. The young lady's
mother objected, but the couple came
to Centralia, secured marriage IL
cense and were married by Rev. Moses
Points last evening. The groom is n

MUST HAVE GOOD TIMES.
Otherwise, Says Chauncey Depsw,
the Republican Party Will be
Swept Away.

LONDON, July THE Daily Graphic
will tomorrow publish an interview
with Chauncey M. Depew in which he
says:
"Bryanisn is only another name for
discomfort with existing conditions.
For three years the American farmer
has had no paying market for his pro.
duce or live stock. Miner and manu-
facturer have had tentative and spas
modic prosperity, but no regular
business, and labor has found no
steady employment. This gave an
opportunity FOR new men, men with
new fads, to say that they had q pat
emit remedy, a sort of financial cure
all, which would start the wheels oi
industry and give good markets and
full employment. Organism repre-
sented this alleged cure and hope. II
was defeated by a campaign of edu-
cation and the promise of prosperity
with new administration and pro.
tective tariff, and also stability in
our currency.
"The disappearance of Organism ir
the year 1900 at the next Presidential
election depends upon the fulfillment
Of their promises. If we get the
promised legislation and then have
