Hard to Keep Awake.

In the long arctic nights there is a
constant difficulty in keeping awake.
Greedy had to make very strict rules to
keep his men awake during the long
arctic night. Beds were not allowed
to be made, and the men were COM
PEELED to get up and move about.

linen is divided into four equal parts,
each quarter on both sides being of a
different pattern of percale.

Against Contract System.

1t has time and again been demon
strated that the contract system of pub
lie work is opposed to the interests of
both the public and the wage Garner,
says the Twentieth Century. The or
ganized labor of this country has, after
infinite trouble, succeeded in effecting
the passage of the eight-hour day law.
But the present administration is op-
posed to it and evades its provisions
continually. Some work is now being
done at the navy yard in Brooklyn by
contractors who force their men to
work long hours for very little pay.
The labor unions called the attention
of the Secretary of the Navy to the
matter, but he says that contract labor
does not come within the scope of the
law. That is nonsense. The matter
should be taken to the courts, and until
they have pronounced upon the ques-
ton of law 1t is an open one. These
rulings, emanating from Washington,
are in full accord with the spirit of the
present administration, which is hos
tile to labor and the masses. The one
thing for the organized labor of the
country to do Is to abolish entirely the
contract system of public improve
ments. The contract system is respon-
sible for all the jobs and scandals.

World Equal to the Big Bonanza.

If So, n Sensation Is III store III 'he INNING
World Equal to the Big Bonanza
OF the reported discovery OF a great
mining region, a special from Phoenix,
Ariz, says:
The new find lies in Yuma county,
Ariz., near the southwestern corner OIL
the territory, thirty miles north OF AZ
tee Station. on the Southern Pacific,
and twenty-six miles east of the Castle
Dome landing on the Colorado river
The country surrounding is OF the dry
est description. Partly on account or
the desert buttes in which the find was
made. having at a distance much the
appearance of mere heaps of volcanic
debris. no mineral has been suspected
to be in the locality.
About a month ago the heaviest
rains known for years occurred IN lu-
ma county. and the opportunity for
prospecting was seized upon by an old
prospector named John Edwards, who
was QUILTED or grub staked by Hen
nv Gleason, engineer in the Yuma cleo
trio plant.
Two weeks ago Edwards came upon
the ledge. Wherever he knocked with
his prospect hammer he broke OIL
pieces of iron-staind quartz thickly
specked with gold particles. How rich
the rock is can be imagined when 1t Is
told that the lot he brought into Yuma
pounded up in a mortar and washed
out in a gold pan ran $3.50 TO the pound.
The ore is absolutely free; nothing in
it but quartz and iron and gold.
This value, however. is not the main
matter over which TO marvel. The
ledge is seventy feet wide and across
the full width the ore appears to be
uniform in this incredible richness.
Edwards located $500 feet along the
ledge. and believes he has taken in
everything in sight He states that he
almost went crazy on finding the ledge.
He could neither eat nor sleep. All he
could do was to insanely wander along
the vein and knock away and gloat
over fragments of gold-speckled ore.
Edwards brought a sack full Of the
ore back TO Yuma as soon as he had
done the necessary preliminary work.
Al first his partner was incredulous,
even after being shown the ore, but at
last sent out with Edwards a local min
ing expert of the highest standing. The
pair returned a few days ago, the eX-
pert, Frank Guerra, confirming the
story and stating that the mine is the
greatest on earth, even at the grass
roots.
The rush into the desert has already
commenced and vehicles are not to be
had in Yuma. Among the earliest TO
go was a. G. Hubbard, the Southern
California mining man, who made a
fortune out of the Harqua Hala mine,
located about sixty miles north of the
new discovery. The Harqua Hala and
the new discovery are very different.
however, in character. The former
lay in decomposed granite and was
merely deposit, not even to be called
a blanket ledge The latter is strong,
well-defned VEIN lying between por-
phyry and granite.
All stories from the discovery tell
the same tale-that the ledge is great
er one and far richer than was the
ComStock lode and that upon it TO be
expected a second Virginia City.

Special to the Register.
Milwood, w. Va, March 22.-News
reached here to-day of a terrible al
frav at Flag Rock school house, eight
miles from Jackson Court House, Sat
urdav night. The spring term OF the
school closed on Friday, and saturday
night the teacher and pupils gave an
entertainment for the patrons OF the
school. Among those attending were
James Sayre, a prominent farmer, ana
his wife. and Fred Hascher, man or
only moderate mental capacity, ana
looked upon as harmless. Some time
ago Sayre and Hascher had some dlf-
ficulty in which Hascher felt that he
had been injured After the entertain
ment, Sayre and Hascher met and soon
began discussing their former trouble.
1t resulted in Sayre attacking Hascher.
Hascher drew a knife and began STAB
bing Sayre. ana before he could be re-
strained, Sayre was lying upon the
ground dying. his life blood gushing
from nineteen stab wounds covering
almost his whole body. arms, head and
face. The wounds were all deep and
clean cut and before doctor could
be called, Sayre had bled TO death.
Hascher though not deemed mentally
responsible, was arrested and taken TO
Jail at Jackson Court House. where he
will have a hearing tomorrow. There
is great excitement over the affair,
Sayre being quite a prominent man.
There is. however, no probable danger
of trouble.

Our neighbor. the Intelligencer,
which appears TO be between the devil
and the blue sea as regards the Dingley
bill. is engaged in making some eX-
ceedingly wild breaks these days. 1t
does not hesitate. for example. TO so
back upon its record on so time-honor-
ed a matter as the tinplate duty. 1t is
we'll known what that record is and we
need not repeat it. except to point out
that the general and specific claim of
our neighbor has always been that the
revival of the tinplate industry in this
country has been due to the doubling
of the duty on foreign tin under the
Mckinley tariff. although we all know
that American tinplate was practically
unknown in commercial quantities
under the Mckinley tariff and was
no, placed upon its feet as a legitimate
industry in this country until the Viii
son bill wisely removed the absurd and
insane embargo on its raw material.
Since then. and only since then. it
has flouriShed.
Now in this connection. We wish TO
call attention to the remarkable incon-
sisteucy Of our neighbor. which had
been steadily, up until yesterday, howl
ing for restoration of the Mckinley
duty on tiuplate. Now. bless you. that
dizzy organ. reading the handwriting
on the wall. possibly. and seeing be-
forehand that public sentiment is solid
~ arrayed against the higher tariff
taxes proposed in the Dingley bill, en-
deavors to excuse that measure and to
stand from under the popular wrath.
In an endeavor 10 dodge the un-
doubtedly truthful charge that the
Dingley bill increases the duties even
beyond the limit of the Mckinley alb
surdity. in most cases. the organ says:
Tin plate is one example Of The spirit
which animated the makers or tne OIL.
ON this article il is proposed 70 place
duty IS Is cents pound. The duty in
th, Mckinley bill was 2-lv cents
pound.
Now. note the following comment;

No. but it seems like rank treason
TO the banner OF the god Of high pro-
lection. on the part of the Intelligencer.
Indeed. can it be that We have read
arisht. and that the organ of high
tariff-the higher the better-and the
devoted follower and worshipper of the
apostle of Jacobs ladder protection =
to American industry has actually as
sumed the heretical attitude that the
present free trade" rates OF the Wilson
bill on tinplate are about sufficient for
all the protection that the industry
needs.
II would be a mean trick. now, for
some of Col. Harris enemies to send a
marked copy Of the organ containing
this rank heresy to Mr.. Mckinley.

EIGHT PEOPLE HURT.
One of the Largest Business Blocks in
Lawrence Destroyed by Fire.

One of the Largest Business Blocks in
Lawrence Destroyed by Fire.
Lawrence. Mass. March 22.-The
worst fire this city has known since the
burning of the Washington mills, six
years ago. dismantled the Gleason
building. one of the best business blocks
in Lawrence, early to-day, and resulted
in the injury of eight persons. and the
loss of property valued al 100000.
Those injured are: John BOwering,
left leg injured; severe burns. Mrs.
John Bowering left side injured and
ribs broken. Miss Mckenzie, head in
jured: serious burns. William Gallagh-
er. badly burned; Bernard Gallagher,
overcome by smoke and seriously burn
ed. A. S. Hunter, slight burns. w.
r. Robinson, left wrist fractured;
burns. Most of those hurt are in the
hospital, but it is not expected that any
deaths will result.
The Gleason building was siX-story
stone and brick building. The Central
House. one of the leading hotels OF the
city, adjoined it on one side and Ped
rick & Chosen, in which is Walsh's no.
tel. on the other. The five and ten-cent
store of Abbott & Co., occupied the
basement. and first floor Of the building.
The rest of the block was taken up with
Offices, dressmaking and millinery
rooms. several lodging rooms and a
photograph gallery on the top floor.
The roof of the Central House caught
fire. and Pedrick and Chosen blocks,
on the other side. were in great danger,
but they were saved through the efforts
of the firemen. The Gleason building
was owned by the Gleason heirs. Of

rowly averted by the Greek officers,
This is a situation that cannot con-
tinue forever, and there is no DISPOSE
ton to yield on either side.
In the event of a conflict, what will
be the outcome in Europe? This is a
very grave question, for the powers are
already watering and divided, while
Christian Europe stands arrayed
against political and diplomatic Eu-
rope. The one stands by Christian
Greece, while the other, in the event Of
war would be compelled to support
the Turk to prevent the possible dis
memberment of the empire, an event
which would set all Europe by the ears.
1t is an extremely delicate situation
apparently at the mercy of chance and
resting on a hair trigger.
