WILSON PUSHING THINGS.
Having Thought About Butler, He
Now Has His Mind Upon Sugar.

Washington, April 20.-Secretary
Wilson is pushing things at the de-
partment of agriculture. In addition
to his programme for capturing the
English butter market, his plan for
sending out sugar beet seeds in order
TO develop a home sugar industry, and
his efforts to preserve the forests. he is
trying to bring about cooperation be-
tween the various state agriculture ex-
pertinent stations.
1t often happens that results attained
by the experiment station of some
state cannot be made available for the
use of farmers because there are no
funds with which to send out the re-
port The agricultural societies of
Great Britain, Canada, Germany and
even Australia have made good use of
experiments carried on in our state
stations by means of a reprint of the
original documents. while American
farmers, as a whole, have been left In
ignorance thereof.
Secretary Wilson now proposes TO
make the department of agriculture a
sort OF clearing house for the publica-
ton of impo,--.nt state reports. When
a really valuable result is achieved he
intends to publish an account of the
process and send it out to farmers all
over the country

cation to recover S15150 damages for the

ceedlnss were so conducted as TO produce
upon the minds of the pupils Of the Low
ell school the impression that the fire was
real. and by reason of the excitement
consequent thereto the plaintiffs daugh-
ter was so affected in body and mind that
she became very i'll and died on the same
day. to the plaintiffs damage in the sum
named. for which judgment is prayed.

FICTION OUTDONE.
Strange Career of John Joseph
Nouri, and Its End Up to Date.

Nouri, and Its End Up to Date.
San Francisco. April 2O-The strange
ness of truth has often been commented
| fights OF fiction. An illustration of
this is furnished in the career of John
Joseph Nouri, who has been crowned
patriarch at the Chaldean ponufical
cathedral at Trichuet Malalar, and is
ruler over Syrian Chaldeans Four
years ago he was commissioned by
Judge Walter II. Levy TO the asylum
for the insane at Napa, and there he
remained until September. 1898. when,
by the efforts OF II. n. FoOte, president
Of the California association for the
protection of persons, he was restored
to liberty. The Rev. Chalmers -Easton.
now OF Washington, d. c., is credited
with having learned the facts in let
ter from the Rev. John H. Barrons of
Chicago, who is at present travelling in
India. On June %, 1892, there arrived
in this city from India a man who, by
his dress. his manner and his speech,
was easily recognized as an oriental
religious student.
Not less remarkable than his appear
ance was the story ne told. He claimed
to have discovered the remains of
Noah's ark on the summit of Mount
Ararat.
When released from the asylum Nourf
claimed that he had been robbed of
four medals. studded with diamonds,
and valued at 81. 500. the gift of the
Chaldean Greek church, of a negotiable
note for $500, and of his credentials.
DR.. Chalmers Easton believed in him,
and helped him in his journey east
ward. Later on he displayed his knowl-
edge of Greek. and in Washington. D.
c.. at the Smithsonian Institute, trans
lated the hieroglyphics on some tablets
there with surprising ease. Intent
upon making his journey round the
world he Travelled on to London, and
from there came in May. 1894, the story
that he intended to sue the United
States government for $4,000, 900 dam
ages for his i'll treatment during his
sojourn here. Now comes the climax
to the story in the letter from the Rev.
John H Barrons declaring that John
Joseph Nouri. the deposed king of the
Chaldeans, has been restored; that his
claims have been recognized, and that
the man who was held as "unkenpt
and with the black lusterless eyes of
a lunatic, is living in splendid style in
a palace at Trichur.

grief and could not be comforted Ar
engagements have been made for the
funeral to take place on Thursday, at
p. m, under the auspices of the X. of
P. and Odd Fellows, of which lodges
deceased was a member.
Late on Monday evening the remains
of Edwin Nav were uncovered. The
body was horribly mangled and bat
tered and almost unrecognizable. He
had been carried far down the dump by
the slide, thus sustaining the injuries
his body now gives evidence of. The
remains We're at once shipped to the
family residence at Plain City.
Particulars to hand of Turner's es-
cape show that it was miraculous in
the extreme. He was in the engine
house when the avalanche descended.
The slide struck the house but did not
completely demolish il. The boiler of
the engine was displaced, one end of it
resting on q barrel, and il was under
the boiler that Turner found his Sc
curity- He had to lie there, being UNI
able TO move from his position by OBJ
structions on both sides, and il was by
tapping ca the boiler with a lantern
which lay near his hand that he at
tracted the attention of the rescue
party. He was almost asphyxiated with
gases from the engine and badly
scalded with steam from the boiler, and
ii was with considerable difficulty that
the physicians resuscitated him.
lie was taken to a ranch near Brig
ham City yesterday morning and will
be brought home as soon as possible.
