Boston, Aug. 22.-Edward Parker Dea-

Emily AbielIe IN Mrs. Dsacon's apart

MIR. Deacon came to Boston on Thurs
day last from Narragansett pier, accom-
panied by his trusted valet and nurse
They registered at the Hotel Bellevue ON
Beacon street. which place Mr.. Deacon
has made his home for several years
while in this city. He acted very peeu-
Harry soon after arriving, and seemed
far from being in his right mind but, be-.
ing noted for eccentricitieS. nothing was
thought ait first of the manner in which
he acted. On Thursday night, however,
he grew violent, and his nurse and valet
mented. The attrCney who has charge of
Deacon's property, as trustee was sum
m0ned and in turn sent for Jelly. an ex-
pert On insanity. Shortly afterwards Mr..
Deacon became demons trative and dis
charged his nurse Another nurse was
summoned and all day Friday Mr.. Dea-
con was almost uncomfortable.
Finally 1t was thought advisable to send
him to Mclean hospital as a precaUtiOn-
airy measure.
When there. he Quilted down and ap-
peared contented- He booked haggard and
worn. and seemed but a shadow of his
former self.
His hallucinajtions are that enemies seek
to do him harm.
A consultation of physicians has been
called, but the seriousness of the case
has not been determined.

Denver. Colo. Aug. 22.-The Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly today
adopted sensational resolutions regard
ing the great coal miners strike.
After caustic reference to the grow
ing tendency toward government by
Injunction and the 'usurpation of the
public highways by the hirelings of
cstpital." the resolution says:
Resolved, That we beldeve the time
is near at hand when peaceful methods
on the part of outraged labor must give
place to forcible resistance of armed
capital, even though badged with the
venal and corrupt authority of pluto
cratic Judges.
Resolved. That we herewith place
ourselves on record as being to the last
extreme against tolerating the present
or any other attempt ito abridge any
of the rights. privileges and liberties of
free men,
The resolutions then pledge the as
sembly in advance to abide by the de-
cision of the St. Louis conference. and
call for a mass meeting to be held in
Denver the present week. to take &c
ton on the question of government by
Injunction"

Denver. Aug. 22.-The Denver Repub-
Iican has received letter from the
we'll known mining engineer. Stanley
H. Pearce now en- route to the Klon-
dixie. For three weeks Mr.. Pearce and
his party have struggled with the diff
ficulties to be met with on the famous
Chilkoot pass The Denver party has
been successful. and on Sept. 1 expects
to be in boats on the last stages of the
river journey. Mr.. Pearce writes:
There must now be at least 1000
people scattered along the trail and
camped at Skaguay. 7 can safely say
that only one-ifth of this number Will
get into the Klondike this year. Fully
100 have already thrown up the sponge,
sold their outfits and returned to their
homes.
MANY exciting events take place
daily. The decision of the miners
meeting is law, and sad will be the
fac of any one caught stealing.
"a Canadian custom house officer
has pushed past us, taking with him
four deputies. He is to be assisted by
25 mounted police in collecting dues,
averaging $50 from all miners outfits.
It seems hard, as many will be forced
to return This has been done to force
the men who plan coming to buy their
outfits in Victoria instead OF Seattle,
Portland or San Francisco
'Too much criticism cannot be made
of the treatment given the miners and
other gold seekers by the captains OF
| the Queen and Mexico. They could
not have treated cattle worse in food
and accommodations, and as for their
! treatment of US in the discharge of
! our cargo, scattering it along the beach
at low tide, where we had to fight day
| and night to save it, it was simply
! disgraceful.
no one can realize the hardships
! one has to undergo on a trip of this
| kind. The elements themselves seem
TO have prejudice against US, and
pouring rain has done all 1t can 70
make the trail almost impossible.
J eve, fortunately. are better off than
/ any one here, and though we realize
that only the hardest kind of work can
get us through before the river freezes
over, we are confident of getting there
Il have just had a long chat with
sIavin, the prize fighter, who has his
outfit at Lake Bennett, ready for his
long trip by boat. His report of the
trail beyond the summit is very en-
couraging and has eheered US uD con-
siderably.''

Richield. Utah, Aug. 22.-The stake
conference of the Sewer stake was held
at Elsinore today and most of the peo-
pie were out Of town. Chris Madsen,
who was Confined in the county Jail,

at the Salina depot, took advantage of
the time to escape from custody. He

an adjoining house. The residents had
gone to conference. 80 he took a Win
chester rifle with cartridges and wrote
note to the sheriff saying that he
was going east to Robbers Roost, as
o'clock he was seen leaving, but be-
ing a stranger to the people here, no
one recognized him. nor suspected any
thing wrong.
Just after O'Clock Mrs King came
home and noticed that some one had
been in the house. Running to the jail
she found it empty and the lock lay
ing on the ground. Notice was at once
given to the sheriff, who has gone on
the search for the missing man. Word
has been telegrepf1ed and couriers sent
in all directions, but no traces are vet
found.
A footman answering Madsen's de-
scription was seen about o'clock
crossing the track at Sigurd and max

has found any horse missing and some
pal is supposed to be waiting for him

department of agriculture, in a report
on olive culture in the United States
for the department year book says
that although the principal olive belt
is in California, there is another large
section w:sere the olive will grow. This
includes southwestern Utah and south
western Nevada and parts of Arizona.
He says: Some idea Of the possible
monetary value Of olive growing to the
United States may be drawn from the
extent and value of the industry in
other countries. From the latest and
most conservative and official data it is
estimated that the value to the United.
States of yield of olive oil equaling
in amount the annual yield of Spain,
if sold at prices brought by the French
product, would be $S0,000,000 per an
mum. So far as climate, soil and a5il
ity to manufacture the products are
concerned, there is nothing to prevent
our attaining this magnificent result.
1.-THE amount of olive products that
will eventually be consumed by the
United States will be very large. as
in most of its forms the olive gives
very healthful and nourishing food.
The oil of the olive is the finest OBJ
tainable, both for table and for kitchen
use, while as a pickle and food for
daily consumption the olive eXcels all
other pli uts, especially when the fruit
is allowed to mature and fill With oil
before being preserved.
"A careful review of the olive indus
try of the United States Will show that
it can easily be placed in a condition
to enable it to assume in few wears
prominent and even a foremost po-
sition among the horticultural interests
of the country. The one great need to-
day is legislative action which will
prevent the sale within the United
States of other oils under the name of
olive oil. Place the industry upon this
equitable and necessary footing, and
the growers of the olive in this coun-
try win rapidly gain control of the
American market and the industry Will
assume its rightful and legal position
This result must almost necessarily fol-
low from the fact that the production
of pure olive oil in Europe is scarcely
sufficient to supply European demand.
If the producers could not sell us pea
nut oil ond cotton seed oil under the
name of olive oil and charge for it
olive oil prices, American dealers would
have to supply the demands of consum-
ers with the pure American product,
provided, of course, the law had uni
| yersal application"
