An article by Mark Twain written in the style of The Iunocents Abroad" and illustrated by A. B. Frost and Peter Newell, is a prom ise that magazine readers do not have held out to them every day. It is in the November number of McClurs's Magazine that this rare feast of humor is to be served. One might expect much more than ordinary entertainment from any one of the three items of pictures by Frost, pictures by Newell, and an Innocent Abroad" article by Mark Twain; but the editors of Me Clure's in their proiusion, engage to serve all three at once. The Mark Twain article will consist of chap ters from the forthcoming book on his recent journey around the world and IS the only part that will be published in advance of the book itself. It follows, those that have read it say, the earlier Mark Twain manner. which is undoubtedly the most popular, on a thread cf public travel, are strung no end of wise and witty reflections, quaint and quizzi- cal observations, comic adventures and plausible impossible tales.

The Catholic Fair. From Saturdays Daily. A Mammoth Rtor
4 telegram from Yuma dated

A telegram from Yuma dated October 2, says:
 Deputies George Wiler and James Jones went to Mammoth Tanks, sixty-fye miles west of Yuma, in search of Juan Jerves, who foully killed Jose Roderiguex. The diyis- ion superintendent wired Sheriff Greenleaf, who was on the west bound passenger, to halt at the tanks to apprehend three ringleaders of strike among 260 MexIcan laboTers.
 When the train came up about i o'clock the sheriff and deputies ad- yanced upon the strikers, who met the officers defantly. The deputies grabbed the Tingleaders, the sheriff going after a third, and the fight began. Rocks were thrown by the strikers and shots returned by the officers. Wilder fell and was left as dead. The strikers rushed for Section Foreman Stanton, who had joined the officers, and Stanton fled. Jones had secured a shot gun from the express car and at this moment fired into the advancing crowd. Three men fell and were carried of by their comrades. The advance continued and another shot brought more strikers down, at which the strikers stampeded.
 In the meantime the sheriff took Wilder on the passenger, which pulled out for Yuma, arriving here at o'clock. Wilder's injuries were examined by Dr. Heffernan here, and he found several scalp wounds and his face was bruised. His in- juries are not dangerous. A posse of twenty-five left for the scene of the trouble on a special about 8 o'clock. It is thought that six Mexicans were killed and several wounded.

A s.nsAiional sult.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Oct. 29.-In the trlal of pr. Jefferson D. Goddard for the murder of Fred. J. Jackson, the defense sprung sensation to- day by demanding that Major Blake l.. Woodson be barred from assisting the prosecution. The attorneys for the defense presented affidavits as- serting that Major Woodson had obtained Goddard's confidence. and an outline of his defense, on the pretense that he would act as God dard's attorney. Judge Logan, of Sedalia, who is trying the case as special judge, refused, however, to bar Woodson. Then the state had au inning. and sprung a few sensa- tions. The prosecuting attorney de- clared that he would prove that Goddard and Mrs. Jackson. the wife of the man killed by Goddard, had been crrninally intimate for months before the murder. He also declared that Mrs. Jackson had given God dard as much as $l3,0O0 at one time of the money which really belonged to her husband, and that Jackson was about to sue his wife for posses sion of his property, when he was killed. The jury to try Goddard has been finally selected, and the hearing of evidence will begin to- ,,,ArrNu

RecIaImIng AIkaII Lands.

Charles H. Shinn, of the agricul- tural department of the California state university, has returned to Berklev from visit to the agricul- tural experiment station at Tulare with enthusiastic reports of the sue cess of experiments winch have been made there recently m the reclama- tion of alkali lands. The land. some of which is the worst alkali land in the state, has been treated with gypsum, and during the coming sea son over three hundred kinds of seeds will be planted in the ground. A crop of wheat is expected where, before the reclamation of the land, barley grew only an inch high. NIT. Shinn says: Our experiments with the triplex semi-barcatum, or salt
 bush. have also proven that, even
 without reclamation, atkali lands can be made valuable for pasture. The salt bush makes a thick growth
 six or seven inches high, and is ex- cellent grazing for sheep. 1t will flourish where alfalfa will not grow.

 A delightful musicale and literary entertainment was given at the Catholic fair last night. Several of the numbers are deserving of special mention. J. L. Johnston never was in better voice, and, as usual, charm ed his audience with his splendid effort. Mir. Thomas Flynn's recita- ton, "The Monk of Toulouse" was fine elocutionary effort, and his rendition of ''The Message" for an encore, was beautiful. Miss Mamie Morrison sang sweetly, and with musical intelligence, the song, "Who Will Buy My Roses" The vocal duet by Misses Agnes Conlon and Ettie Dewitt, met with the cordial reception which their pretty voices deserved. Jules Baumann's solo on the baritone was good, and the chorus singing was such as could be expected from the we'll known sing CTS in the Catholic choir.
 A ragged, half starved tramp was elected from train at Wickenburg Wednesday, and about two hours later he was found lying behind some brush unconscious. He was taken to house and while the woman of the place was reviving the boy she made the startling dis covery that the supposed boy was young woman. When she recovered the woman said she must have tainted from hunger, as nothing had passed her lips for three days. She vouchsaled no information concern ing herself save that she vas de- serted by her husband, and she donned male attire to gU in search of him. A purse was made up for her, and she was given ticket to this city. A close search yesterday failed to uGearth this interesting person, and she presumably had lett the eitY,-Gazette.

 A Wholesale Application for Patent.
 H. D. Ross and P. W. O'SuIlivan, both ex-registers of the Prescott land office, have been engaged by David H. Moffat, the Colorado mil Honaire, to secure patents for seven- ty mining claims and mill sites. Of this number thirty-nine mining claims and twenty three mill sites, embracing 56l.65 acres, are all em- braced in one application. The law allows the register and receiver fee of Sl0 for each application and were these applied for separately the fees would amount to S630, but by grouping them in one applica- tion the fees are reduced to $l0. It is safe proposition to wager that the complications arising from en- bracing such a number of claims and mill sites in one application will result in great many dollars worth of time in correspondence. This is the largest number of claims ever embraced in one application filed in the United States land office at Pres colt, and as far as known, in any land office. The claims are all lo- cated in Mohave county.

War Makes Business.

1t is a curious feature in the so-called
''insurrection" in northwestern India
that the English papers agree pretty
generally that the tribesmen, who are
well armed, get their modern rifles from
two sources, first by theft from the ar
senals, and second by trade from Biz
mingham.
That any large number OF guns can
be stolen from the army supplies shows
at least defective discipline. but that
the birmingham dealers have been and
still are selling guns to be used in the
slaughter Of British soldiers, shows n
much more serious defect.
As Lord Salisbury has explicitly stat
ed that the mod ern English war has
purely business" aims, it would be de-
cent for Englishmen to refrain from
aiding in killing the soldiers who are
compelled to clear the way for trade.

were informed of the object of the ex-
ploring party. The report was circu-
lated that Captain Pierce was in search
of the "Idaho" of these beloved noun
tains. These Indians had ever been
faithful friends of the white men, but
the report of their sacreligious mission
aroused bitter resentment and the
party was expelled from the land of
the Nez Perces. This is the first re,
corded instance of hostile demonstra
tons on the part of this tribe of In
dams. They were fanatical on the
subject of the "Idaho."
Captain Pierce, after being driven
out of the country, believed the gem to
be almost at hand and that it was
guarded by the Nez Perces. He took
remnant of his party and undertook
to reach the mountains lying back of
the Lewiston valley by a circuitous
route through Palouse prairie and
around the head waters of the Potlatch.
After month of heoric struggles with
the natural obstacles of the trackless
forests of that region the explorers
reached the Orc Fine basin and camped
in lovely green meadow in the depth
of the mountains. w. F. Bassett, a
member of the party who was miner,
and who was looking for placer gold
rather than mythical gems, prospected
the creek that coursed through the
meadow. He found the first gold of
the Inland Empire. The search for the
Idaho" was abandoned and the region
was thoroughly prospected About
five ounces of gold was secured when
the Indians again became aware of their
presence and they were warned to
abandon the country Immediately. The
white men went to Walla Walla. When
the Indians became convinced that the
became less vigilant, although they
were not reconciled to their immediate
return to the field of their discovery
However, ID men returned to Orc Fine
in November of 1860. The Indians
would have driven them out, but the
snow came Immediately after their re-
turn and the Indians believed they |
would perish from cold and starvation |
The miners were left to perish from
the perils of winter.
During the winter of 1861 81 three of |
the Orc Elmo miners returned to Walla
W'tlla making the journey on snow
shoes to the Lewiston valley and then
on foot to Pataha creek, where their
horses had been left beyond the borders
of the Nez Perces country. These re-
turning adventures brought with them
30 ounces of gold dust. This tangible
evidence of wealth electrified the north
western mining world and caused a
stampede. In the summer of 1861
thousands of gold-seekers overran the
and the story of the Idaho"
was on every tongue The Indians kept
he word and the story before the pub
ic. The people of the east became
amiliar with the romance that gave to
he world another gold-field. This is
he true origin of the word Idaho
daho had its origin in n beautiful ro-
nance and it is the most poetic word
n our geographical vernacular.

Aluminium is now used in making
clock hands, for which it is an ideal M
ttrial. The pointers of great clocks
were formerly made of soft wood, says

j,lted pointers made of thin sheets of
copper, = pointer being composed OF
two strips, which were cupFed or hcl-

thus giving risidity as well as liglltness.
AiUmiEiuIm pointers for big clocks are

lighter ard easier to balance.

POLITICIANS CLEVER EUSE.
How n Congressman SwelIs the Heads
of His Constituents.

of HIS Constituents.
There is a. member of congress who
does not live a thousand miles away
from Pennsylvania and New Jersey who
has hit upon a very clever scheme to
make himself solid throughout his dis
trict. In fact, this congressman is con-
tinually hitting upon such schemes, and
they extend so far that he can probably
represent his district as long us he
wants oruntil his constituents conclude
to put him in some other office, the gov
ernorship OF his state, for instance, says
tie Philadelphia Press.
His latest little scheme to bring him
self pleasantly to the recollection of a
large number of his constituents is
unique. There are several hundred post
offices in his district, and, of course,
the usual number of applicants for each
one. The Endorsements OF the appli-
cants are on file at the post Office de-
partment, and usually contain long
list OF names of prominent patrons of
the Office.
When the congressman makes rec
ommeEdation of man for amy post
office he takes the list of the mans in
dorsers and sends each one personal
letter much after this fashion:
In accordance with your recommen-
dation, have to-day named - for
postmaster at -"
Each man who receives such letter
Immediately has new idea of his own
IN politics and is pleased to think that
Ais congressman recognizes his i'm
pcrtancc. In any case, the receipt of a
personal letter from a member of con-
cress is apt to tickle the vanity of a
private citizen.
