MINERS IN BLOOMERS.
Half Dozen California Women
Seek Gold SuccessfuIIy

Six women of Oakland, CAL, have been out
on a two weeks search for gold in Shasta
county, and they have returned home to form
a gold mining syndicate as a proof of their
success. About year ago one of their num-
ber, Mrs. Annie Glud discovered a placer
mine on her ranch which is located twelve
miles north of Redding, the nearest point to
the Coffee creek diggings.
Naturally Mrs. Glud told her friends all
about 1t, and she persuaded six of thera to
go prospecting in the vicinity Mrs. Glud' s
health prevented her from roughing it, but
the rest of the party left her at the ranch
to live and work as men do when they hunt
for gold. Each woman put on bloomers,
rough boots, leggings, mans working shirt
and black slouch hat. Around their waists
they strapped canteens and pans and on their
shoulders they carried Licks and shovels.
Thus atti1ed the six women prospectors
struck boldly into the mountains. They SHOW
eled and panned dirt by the brooksides and
climbed steep hills to pick at quartz forma-
tions all day long and when night same they
built a camp fire and warmed up canned
goods and cooked beans and bacon. Occa-
sionally they located a claim. They had a
good time and met with few startling ad-
ventures. The most thrilling incident oc-
footing on a steep hill and slid down through
the brush to where one of her companions
was working. The latter thought she was
bear
Some of the ore which the women prospect
ors brought back with them assayed S65 to
the ton, and they think that out of the six
claims which they have located the fortune
of the Solid Seven Mining syndicate will be
made.

LAWYERS IL HAUGAN CASE TIRED.
Adjournment Is Taken by Judge
Elliott Until Monday

Mr.. Nye continued his arguments before
Judge Elliott yesterday morning for the ad-
mission of his line of evidence in the case Of
The State against Andrew G. Haugan. At
the start, the court admitted the right of
the city council to fix the salary of the city
treasurer.
"Then we want to show the facts as to
that said Mr.. Nye. The city council is
the body in which the protection of the pea
pie lies, and the court, it seems to me- is
bound to recognize their action as honest
until otherwise shown
ut is not a question of that" said the
court. This is the point Had the council
any right or control over the public funds
which would authorize them to turn over
the right to use, or rely upon bond?''
Mr.. Nye thought the council had that right
even though the court hinted that the charter
provided that the council could provide for
salary, but that the balance should be turned
over to the city. The speaker thought that
was not the law.
II admit it is vicious practice he said
"but it has been the practice and Mr.. Hau-
gan followed out that practice and relied upon
it. and had right to rely upon it,
Mr.. Nye became winded by reading the long
list of authorities presented, and his assist
ant, Mr.. Deutsch, with fresh wind, and ready
for any length of time took the floor and con-
tinued the argument 1t WIS kept up until
the hour of adjournment, at noon, with no
promise that it near the completion.
In the afternoon Judge Elliott dismissed the
jury until Monday, as the attorneys had
only gathered their second wind for the argu-
ments The evidence will not be taken up
again, therefore, until next week.

When the nervous system is tagged
out none of the organs of the body do
their duty; the purifying, excretory
organs do not thoroughly cleanse the
blood and the digestive and assimi
lative organs keep the nerves badly

The tired system needs help. Here
is where Paines celery compound ac-
complishes it's wonderful work. The
radical purifying of the blood and
the rapid feeding of the nerves by
this great remedy prevents the devel-
opment of diseases that often Turk
unrecognized in the system.
Every one who has taken Paine's
celery compound has noticed and re-
marked to others it's wonderful
Strengthening effect upon the entire

ing action on the vitiated blood 1t
cures the body of that nervous habit,
eradicates headache, cures insomnia
and wasting diseases, and quickly
drives out the poisonous humorS that
cause the aches and pains of rheuma-
tism and neuralgia. For building up
the body against general debility, poor
appetite and the tired lifeless feelings
that accompany low nervous tone,
Paine's celery compound is beyond all
question the surest, most responsible
remedy any one can use.
An ailing habit, with frequent bodily
pains over the seat of such vital or
gans as the heart, brain or kidneys is
serious and urgent. The descent to
fatal disease is easy, whenever the
body becomes run down." Build up
the strength and resistance of the
nervous and digestive systems with
Paine's celery compound, get rid of
unhealthy conditions of these organs,
and get out of danger.

SIR WALTERS LESSON.
How His Grandfather, the Duke,
Was Appreciated at Eton.

The recent presentation to Queen
Victoria of the five youngest boys of
Eton, of whom Master Cecil F. A. Wal
ker twelve years DID, is the Junior, has
set EngliShmen now in this country to
telling stories of their Eton days which
put a new light on the institution, says
''Leslie's Weekly
The general impression is that an
Eton boy, coming as he does almost
exclusively from the aristocratic class
es Of England, is a rather snobbish
person. Perhaps he is until it is taken
out of him." in his earlier days, but
taken OUT it surely is.
Some of the stories of the reforming
processes are very funny There's one
apochryphal tale that is said to be
thoroughly characteristic. If not true,
it might be.
A new boy, a boy of great dignity of
manner is observed wandering about
alone. Some older boys, having eyed
him from a distance, advance.
"Who are you?" they ask.
I'm Lord Blank. I've just come"
"Well. who else are you?"
my sister is Lady Blank"
"Go on
my father is Earl of Blank"
"Go on"
MY grandfather is the Duke of
Blank
go on
go on? What more do you want?'
mo morer' they shout, and straight
way they set upon him and skillfully
kick him across the play ground.
There's one kick for you, that's
lordv' they cry as they go. "And two
for your sister, that's lady! There's
three for your father, who's an earl,
and four for your grandfather. who
is a duke; and if you ever put on any
mere airs around here you'll get it all
over again. Do you understand?'
The present Sir Walter Scott tells the
story himself of how he fell into dis
grace when he first arrived at Eton.
It seems that he was very fond OF his
grandfather the old Duke of Buccleugh,
and used to talk about him great deal.
He was not even sophisticated enough
to take warning from the ominous sill
ence that greeted every mention of the
cid gentlman's name, but prattled on.
Finally, one day, the boys arose en-
masse. They were at the top of a
long hill when Sir Walter lifted up his
voice in innocent praise of my grand
father the duke" The first thing he
knew the air was full of fiends who
were kicking him down the hill, scream
ing at him; Take that for your grand
father the duke Take that for your
grandfather the duken'
They kept it up he says, until
came to my senses enough to cry for
mercy. Did you have enough they
said. All you wanted?' I said I had.
We'll, young fellow, bear it in mind
that it isn't half of what you'll get
if you ever mention your grandfather
the duke as long as you're in Etonl
This is boys school. 1t isn't school
for snobs.'"

failing to identify him. They were also
charged with attempted highway rob-
berry of E. F. Scanlan on York street
the night of Jan. 4, but this charge
also fell through, Scanlan not being
able to identify either of the prisoners.
Both -Rogan and Moshek were shortly
afterward sent to Saltwater from Min
neapolis for four years on a charge of
highway robbery, and Moshek was re-
leased after serving three years and
eight months, last Tuesday.
Capt. Rouleau stated this morning

YEARS LUMBER CUT.
1t Will Re About 4OO,OOO,OOO Feet
in MinneaDOIis

1t has been variously estimated that the
cut of the mills Of Minneapolis this year will
be all the. way from 375, 900 900 to 425, 600
feet, says the Mississippi Valley Lumberman.
With almost, if not quite, a full month yet
in which the mills will run, it is hard to say
just what the final total will be, but estimates
can be made from the number of feet of logs
the surveyor general has scaled. During the
whole of last season there were turned to the
mills something over 241 100000 feet of logs,
and the cut for the year was 3O7 100000 feet:
At the same ratio the cut up to the 1st of
October for the present year would have been
nearly $3.50 900 feet as there had at that
time been turned to the mills something over
279, 900, 600 feet of logs. If the weather holds
good some of the mills will run into Novem-
Der, and the cut of this month and what will
be cut in November viii have to be added to
the total above. Ratios have varied consid-
erabiy, though, in recent years, and that is
not necessarily correct way Of getting at
the end. In 1895 the number Of logs scaled
was 1885, 900, 900 feet, and the cut of lumber
was 479,OO0,O 600 feet while in 1894 there were
scaled 379, 900 900 feet, a less number than in
1885, but the cut was 491, 900 feet, or
100000 feet greater It is very likely,
though, that the figures 400 900, 900 feet will
not be very far either way.

Charles E. Osgood, of Boston, the
owner of the largest and most success
full furniture business in New Eng
land, if not in the country, was one of
the few large buyers among furniture
dealers during the hard times of last
wear. who did a great business, always
paying cash, moving on as if times
were good, while rival concerns were
going to pieces right and left all about.
His credit from Michigan to Maine
became so conspicuously "solid" that
he was one of the most talked Of young
men in commercial circles.
With limited means, but well bred,
full of character, straightforward and
ell-educated, he started in business
only a few years ago in a very moder-
ate way in a little store on fremont
street in Boston. The city began to
know him quickly. His business rap
idly assumed big proportions. A news
paper one day interviewed him in the
column of Men Worth knowing"
"To what do you attribute your sue
cess?" asked the interviewer.
Mr.. Osgood replied very shortly:

He is known everywhere today by
that expression.

With characteristic judgment he put

medical treatment was at his disposal;
there certainly was no physician that

He got the right advice, and followed
it, Today he is perfectly well, good
tempered, aggressive and energetic to
the last degree.
In a letter to the proprietors of
Paine's celery compound, written Sept.
%, 1897, Mr.. Osgood said:
II have derived great benefit from
the use of Paine's celery compound

for building up the system when run
