WASHINGTON, July 26.-The state
ment from San Francisco that by an a,i

ASSIGNED THE ASSETS
To Protect Their own and the Creditors
Interests.

SAN Francisco, July 26.-The widow
of the late J. J. O'Brien and James
O'Brien, the surviving partner,
have assigned all the assets of
the firm of J. J. o'Brien &
Co., to Charles R. Havens for the
benefit Of the creditors. This action
is the result of consultation of local
creditors who determined to take such
steps as would preserve the business,
shield the firm from possible EN-
barrassmment by eastern creditors
and protect their own interests.
The assets are estimated as follows:
San Francisco store, $500. 900; Los An
geles store, sll5,OoO; total, s415 900.
Liabilities SS25, 900, of which less than
one-half is due to eastern creditors.

INDIAN LANDS.
Part Of Ute Reservation to Be
Opened to Settlement.
Long Delay Results from n Grave
Error in Fixing the One Hundred
and Seventh Meridian of Longi-
tude-To BE Rectified.

The allotted lands of the eastern end
of the Southern Ute Indian reservation
in southwest Colorado probably will be
opened to settlement this summer by
presidential proclamation. Though the
allotments have been completed the
question of opening has been deferred
for long time, owing to whatseems to
be conceded TO be a grave error in fix
ing the 107th meridian of longitude.
Secretary Bliss has now taken action,
and has decided the director of the
geological survey to determine by as
Economical observation as soon as the
season permits the correct location of
the meridian. This work will not re-
quire much time and though the date
has not yet been considered it is prob
abletheopeningwill be fixed upon imme-
diately after the submission of the di-
rector's report. 1t is claimed and be-
lieved by the authorities that the
meridian is about five miles too far west
and the variance of lines involves about
$4,000 acres, which may inure to the
benefit of the Indians. The meridian
probably will be established late in May.

in commissions, but before the physician
arrived he became cold and quiet. Ply
sicians pronounced him dead and the
arrangements were made for the post
norton and the funeral. Just before

members nothing about his commissions.
His dropsy is gone and he had very
unnatural appetite. The physicians say

ROLL EGGS IN WHITE LOT GRASS
President and Mrs. Mckinley Watch
the Washington Tots.

President and Mrs. Mckinley have !
won the hearts of all the women and
children in the national capital. No one
who has observed from the beginning
the annual Easter egg rolling on the
white house grounds has ever seen such
q crowd of children there as was assem-
bled this year. 1t is said that at three
O'Clock in the afternoon the number
reached $4,000. Each street car that
passed in the neighborhood of the man
sion was loaded with them, and when
the cars stopped to let them off the little
fellows crowded the tracks like sheep.
Mrs. Mckinley honored the little chill
dren by taking a chair near a window of
the white house where she could see all
of them. She had been driving in the
morning, but about IL o'clock took this
position with Mrs. Sexton. ofCleveland,
enc of her guests. They watched the
children for an hour or more, and when
the president himself joined them there
was great demonstration outside. The
big children shouted, but the babies
contented themselves by staring with
eyes wide open when the president was
pointed out tothem.
About three O'clock the Marine band,
under the leadership of Prof. Fanciulli,
took position on n stand. The chill
dren Immediately left their eggs and
baskets and crowded around the stand,
50 that a perfect sea of little faces
looked up at the leader as he gave the
( signal for the first outburst of music,
1t was at this moment that a pho
tographer trained his camera on the
crowd from n window in the white
house. Ths sky by this time had become
overcast and it is not known whether he
got n good picture or not, but if he did
it will be worth seeing and keeping,
In the whole day there was just one
accident. A tot of about four summers
ate too many eggs and had to be talier
to the emergency hospital to have then
pumped out

Young Women of Be11eviIle, Kan,
Want Positions In Schools.
The unmarried school teachers of the
town of Belleune, Kan, have declared
war on three married women who are
employed as teachers. The schools en-
ploy two men and seven women. A
dozen young women who are out of posi-
tions claim the places of the three mar
ried women on the ground that they
have husbands who ought to support
them The young women have enlisted
the sympathies and active support of
the young men Of the town, and the
three married teachers are depending
upon the political influence their hus-
bands have in the community. These
men argue that their wives have en-
joyed the lucrative places for number
of years, and that to deprive their fam
lilies of this income would disturb their
domestic finances. The two men teach
ers are taking no part in the fight, as the
young women threaten that If they
should take part the women would I'M
derbid them and get their places.

WAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
President of Senate Just Missed De.
ing Hit with an Inkstand.

President of Senate Just Missed De-
ing Hit with an Inkstand.
A veteran correspondent was toying
innocently the other day in the senate
press gallery with an empty inllstand,
says the Washington Post. He twirled the
glass cover round and round, while SEN
ator Morgan talked and talked of the
Nicaragua canal bill and the awful
things threatened by Great Britain.
The correspondent pulled the ink
stand out of its place and twirled the
cover again. Senator Morgan's elo-
quent period drew his attention and the
inkstand was forgotten. 1t hung in
his limp fingers and then there was a
resounding thud on the senate floor as
an object sped by the head of the sena-
tor who was presiding over the august
body.
Senator Morgan paused in the midst
of his eloquent period and the attention
of the august body was diverted to the
fleeing form of the correspondent. He
and another who sat beside him disap-
peared through the gallery doors. They
were seen no more that afternoon at
the capitol. An officer from the ser
geant-at-arms' office is looking for
them. Now the inkstands will be
clamped down.

BLINDED BY ELECTRIC LIGHT
Florida Man Loses His Sight from IN
Peculiar Cause.

Florida Man Loses His Sight froIa N
Peculiar Cause.
DR.. Calhoun, of Atlanta, Ga, will soon
be called upon to treat one of the
strangest cases of blindness which have
ever been reported. The story comes
from Clearwater, Fla. j. L. Nash, who
runs the electric light plant at little
station called Bellair, was attending to
business as usual, when suddenly his
eyes closed up, and he has not been able
to see ray of light since.
The case puzzled the local doctors
and they were utterly unable to ac-
count for the remarkable stroke. Moth
ing could be done to relieve the blind
man, so it was decided that he should
be brought to Atlanta, that he might
receive the best treatment possible, in
the hope that his sight might eventual
ly be restored. The only explanation
for the blindness is that it was caused
by a constant strain on the optic nerve
due to the glaring lights in the electric
esta bliShment.
A like case has never been recorded
in the history of eye diseases, and the
outcome of it's treatment VIII be
watched with more than the usual in
terest. The stricken man belongs to
one of the best known families in Flori-
da. He is brother to Mrs. J. r. Torres,
of Tampa.

TO WALK ON THE WATER.
B6k Cook WIN Attempt to Go From
Pittsburgh to Cincinnati


Pittsburgh to Cincinnati.
Bob Cook, OF Boston, who was born
In Americas, Ga, doesn't claim to be
amphibious, but he will walk on the
water from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati.
The distance is about 400 miles and a
little billy in spots, so some people say.
"A wager of 81 900 has been made that
he can't accomplish this feat in Is days.
Cook was in New York city the other
day. ON his way to New Orleans, where
he will go into training on the surface
of Lake pOnchGtcrain.
The shoes he wears are the real water
shoes, four feet long, six inches wide
and six inches deep, invented by him
self. There are fins on either side of
them and there are fins on the bottom.
When he takes step forward with one
foot tbe.ins close, when he makes step
with the other foot the fins on the shoe
remaining still are opened and form
resistance to the water, preventing him
from slipping backward. Cook will be
followed down the Ohio by a launch
and press boat. He says he will win.
