A LuMRER TRUST.

San Francisco, March 23.-The lum-
bermen Of this city are again trying
to organize a trust with the hope of
raising the price from four to six dol
lars a thousand. Dealers now claim
that the actual cost of milling the lum-
Der is greater than the present prices
and the combine hopes to gradually
increase the prices until business will
insure a profit. The former non-com-
mission of lumber mills collapsed last
year because several mills outbid the
commission of manufactured lumber
at prices lower than those of the
trust. The disintegration Of the trust
followed.

Bryan in the East.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is going
about the country preaching the same
doctrine that he preached during the
campaign in which he figured as a nom
NEE for the presidency of the United
States. The activity of the free silver
forces is not to be winked at. They are
good and persistent fighters. They re-
alize the fact that new men are entering
into citizenship every year and that
some of them may be won over to their
side of the currency question. They
propose to hold the ground they have
and to secure more If they can. The
free silver advocates should be met
more than half way in this fight that did
not end with the victory won by the
sound money forces last November

TEN DAYS RESPITE.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March ga tele-
gram was received this morning from
Washington saying that President Nc
Kinley has respited for ten days the
four members of the Button gang,
sentenced to hang today for the MUIR
der of ex-Sheriff Frank Chavez, in '92.
The message from Washington says:
The president reprieyes the defend
ants in the BOrrega case for ten days
to have the question of jurisdiction
settled. This reprieve is made neces-
sary only by the press of business
which prevented that consideration
which the president deems necessary
in view of its gravity"
The governor at once issued the re-
prieve suspending the execution for
ten days, and making the day of exc
cution Friday, April I'd. This makes
the fourth time the execution of the
prisoners in this celebrated case was
delayed and there seems to be some
ground for the belief that the sentence
Of the law will never be carried out.

FLOOD PROSPECTS BETTER.

Memphis, Tenn, March 23.-Authen-

tralia, Miss, is an error. A telegram
from the scene says the levee can be
held intact for several days. This is
the most encouraging news Of the
week because of the great importance
of the levee at that point. Last night
there was a heavy rainfall which
seems to be entirely local, resulting
in no damage. The river at this point
shows a decline of OIL in "a hours,
which taken with today's bright sun
shine makes the outlook encouraging.

Lumber Trust Be-
ing Formed.

San Francisco, March 23.-Stuart's
Carson manager, w. X. Wheelock,
when asked for an accurate statement
about the kaleidoscope receipts and
their disposition said:
The sum of $3,666,66 represented
exactly the full share of profits that
Mr.. Stuart has already received or
will receive from the workings Of this
machine Eleven thousand dollars was
paid in cash by Rector, owner Of the
kaleidoscope, to Stuart who divided it
equally between the fighters and him
self. After that Rector takes every
thing. He now has the films in New
York developing them and is not ham
pered by any partners or anything Of
the Sort
And you mean to say" he was ask
ed. that Stuart does not get as much
as $4,000 out of the privileges"
That's right" he replied. '"The kin
etoscope people came to him with big
propositions, one Of them a quarter of
a million, if he would agree to hold
the fight back for a fine day or take
some of his chances with them. But
to all Of these propositions he stated
he had been trying for three years to
bring Corbett and Fitzsimmons to-
gether and that he was not going to
delay the thing an hour"
In contradiction of this statement
Brady says that sometime before the
fight corporation was formed, call
ed the "Variscope company" and that
there were four stockholders in the
concern-Rector, Stuart, Corbett and
Fitzsimmons, the two former holding
the majority of the stock between
them and the fighters a smaller share.
All the stockholders were to get their
percentage out of every contract made
for the pictures, though what that
percentage is Brady refused to state.
Julian tells practically the same story.

PLANTATIONS IN DANGER.
Levee on the Mississippi is About to
Give Way.


Rosedale, Miss, March 23.-The riv-
err has risen along the extreme lower
end of the second levee district at
Australia, Miss, twenty miles north
of here and the situation is critical in
the extreme. A large stream of water
is coming in under the levee and has
increased to such an alarming extent
that Major Sterling, the chief engi-
neer, was sent north. Later another
call was made for 5000 sacks and 300
shOvels and all the hands that can
WELD shovel to come quick or the
levee would give away.
A special train has left Greenville
with the material and is picking UP
all the hands between Beulah, Miss,
and Round Lake, the latter point be-
ing opposite the threatened point.
Should this levee give way it would
flood many of the finest plantations
in the delta and a stubborn fight is be-
ing made to hold it.

He knows better than any Spaniard

Meanwhile war preparation in Greece

no indications of back down in that
quarter. The Greeks are animated by
the strongest feeling of warlike enthu-
siasm, while Turkeys soldiers are
suffering the greatest privations
without pay or proper equipment,
which makes them sullen and resent

HOLE IN A MANS SKULL
South Dakota Doctors Puzzled Over
Case of Hospital Patient.

The case of R. r. Merrigold, an inmate
of the Brown county hospital, at Cham
berlain, S. D., is a puzzle to the medical
fraternity. The patient has lived for
a number of years with q large and
growing hole in his skull. The brains
are covered only by the skin of the scalp.
The hole is circular in form, about five
inches in diameter, and is located just
above the left ear. When first brought
to the attention of physicians the hole
in the skull was only about two inches
across, but it has been gradually in
creasing in size. The cause Of the bone
disease that is eating away the skull
is unknown. Merrigold, who is 70 years
Of age, was taken to the hospital from
the village of Rondell about ~ years
ago. When first taken there he was
perfectly sane, but his mind has since
been gradually giving way.
