Bertha Johnson, aged twenty-six

suddenly, presumably of heart disease.
while working, at IL o'clock yester-
day morning. The young woman had
not complained of feeling i'll up to the

conversing with with a Miss Malone,
also employed in the bakery, which is
located in the basement of the building.
She expressed the intention of sending
another girl up stairs for her lunch,
when she pitched forward into the
arms of her friends. Mrs. Rudstrom,
the proprietress, was at once notified
of the girls condition. She had her
placed on a lounge, and everything
was done to restore her pending the ar
rival of Dr. Lewis, after whom mes
senger was hurriedly dispatched.
When he arrived she was dead
post mortem was conducted by
Deputy Coroner Nelson over the re-

to have been heart disease. The wom-

vest fields near Stewart Mimi, and

ceived from him.

Much has been written about George w.
Vanderbilts studious habits and book collect
ing proclivities, but comparatively little at
tent1on has been drawn TO his extensive ex-
pertinent in arborculture, says the New York
Times. On his large estate at Biltmore in
North Carolina, he has 1000 acres of forest
under scientific supervision and in his library
ne mas all the standard works on forestry,
including many rare illustrated volumes of
great value 1t is his present fad-if an
eanest purpose be called a fad-to give
TINS country useful object lesson in tree
and shrub culture
John Jacob Astor is an acknowledged fad
dist in the matter of scientific research. He
takes an enthusiastic interest in mechanism
and In electrical appliances, and personally
investigates new inventions and scientific dis
coveries. His residence is fitted up with in
Vulnerable ingenious electrical and mechanical
devices. Even his cook utilizes the electric
current in many ways.

George j. Gould is of too practical a cast
OF mind to allow himself to be carried away
by any passing fancy, but within recent years
he has developed a fondness for Yachting
golf and other outdoor sports that amounts
almost to hobby. He has been known to
neglect Manhattan railway directors meet
in. for game of golf. Howard Gould is an
uL-and-out hobby rider in yachting matters,
and one of his incidental fads is the collection
of yacht models.

were placed in nomination Barrett
made rapid gains as the first ballot
proceeded, and before it's conclusion
he was unanimously nominated.
The report of the committee on res
olutions was adopted without a dissent
ing vote. fgee9
The platform declares that the Re-
publicans of Iowa view with the ut
most satisfaction the result of the cam
paign of last year, and congratulate
the whole people upon the- election of
William Mckinley. 1t highly commends
his wisdom and energy in directing the
whole force of the administration to-
of all the party's pledges. 1t lauds
congress for it's prompt action on the
tariff and refers with qualification
to the part taken by senators and rep.
resentatives in this legislation. 1t de-
mandS rigid economy In all government
expenditures to the end that the bur
dens of the people may be 1essened
and insists that all indiyiduaIs and
corporations shall be so taxed that
they shall not escape a fair and pro-
portionate share of the support of the
government. 1t declares that selfish
ness should be rebuked, aVarice and
the power of combination restrained
in order that all may have equal op-
portunities of advancement. 1t invokes
the birth and history of the party as a
guarantee of the pledge that it existed
only to do justice. The administra-
tion of Gov. Drake is indorsed, and the
farmers are congratulated upon the
selection of James Wilson as secretary
of agriculture. The platform closes
with the paragraphs:
We believe in the justice of those laws
heretofore enacted by Republican legislators
securing to employees or railways the right
of indemnity for personal injuries resulting
from negligence, and we favor such legislation
as may be found necessary to perfect such
right and prevent it's impairment nulifca-
tion in letter or spirit
The Republican party of Iowa reaffirms and
adopts in every part the declaration of prin-
ciples announced by the Republican national
convention of 1896 and it pledges for Iowa
that the election in November next shall be
still more emphatic show of the strength
and justice of Republican doctrine. 1t again
especially declares for protection and honest
money.

RENEWED HOPE FOR THE BLIND.
Foreign Physician Relieves a Trou-
BILE Hitherto Relieved IncurabIe

A verv important discovery made by DR..
R. Deutschmann, of Hamburg, is just now
much spoken of by physicians, particularly
by specialists on the eye, says the Philadel-
pha Record. 1t deals with successful cure
of disease of the eye which but short time
ago was considered absolutely incurab,e, the
so-called detaching peeling of the retina
which sometimes follows case of retinitis.
This disease consists in the shrinkage of
the aqueous humor, a waIery, slightly salty
fluid which lies between the cornea and the
crystalline lens, with the greater part of its
substance in front of the IRIS. If the quantity
of this fluid is lessened to a certain extent
the eyesight is absolutely destroyed, and the
physician do nothing but pronounce the
disease incurable. Now Prof Deutschmann
has succeeded in introducing into the dis
eased eye a sufficient amount of the aque-
Gus humor taken from live rabbits eve to
restore the lost sight. Several cases where
this most delicate operation was successfully
performed are1on record, the one of purser
on one of the steamers of the Hamburg
American line, being most interesting. This
man. totally blind three years ago. was able
to resume his former occupation after under
going the operation just described, and his
sight is now as good as it was at any time in
his life.

Lewis was arrested today for killing
game out of season. Game Warden
Blanchard and Watson gave him hot
chase, but he succeeded in planting the
padlocked box, supposed to contain
birds killed in violation of the law.
Lewis and four companions started
out at 2 o'clock this morning with
dogs and guns, and were returning
when the wardens gave chase. The
four others left the rig, taking the dogs
and guns, and a wild race followed.
Lewis was arrested after returning to
the city. His four companions walked
home over five miles, and two of them
were too tired to appear as witnesses
this evening. E. ]. Ekart, of this city,
and w A. Rogers, of Minneapolis,
were the weary ones. The box could
not be found, and as O. Thorstenson
and P. o. Olsen swore that no game
had been in Lewis possession, the case
was dismissed

MADE RY A BLACKSMITH
TacOma's Early Money Was Not
Pretty, but 1t Answered the Pur-

Tacoma once had a mint that coined all the
money in circulation where the City of Des-
tlny now stands, and 1t did not require the
mat OF Uncle Sam, the silver of Idaho or the
gold OF California to make the pieces from
Tacoma's mint pass current among the In
dians and the few hardy pioneers that were
blazing the path of civilization through the
forest on the shores of Commencement bay
says the Tacoma Leader Back in the eariy
'7Os the Tacoma Mill company, not being
to handily secure gold and silver for use in
trading with and paying off the Indian la
borers and early settlers hit upon the novel
plan OF issuing their own currency and to
this end set their blacksmith at work to
fashion for them out of scraps of iron and
BRASS pieces of money, rather tokens
which could be used a circulating medium
The pieces consisted of 40 and 45 cent iron
tokens and brass 81 pieces The Accent
pieces were about an inch in diameter and
the accent pieces were about the size of the
present silver half-dolIar. The 81 pieces were
oval in shape, about an inch in thickness
These pieces were stamped with the figures
showing their value, and readily passed cur
rent all over the country tributary to the
mill. Nearly all of this Old mill coin has
passed away, but a few days ago William
Hanson, of the Tacoma Mill company pre-
sented set of these queer coins to the Ferry
museum. In his letter he said:
The honesty of the people and the absence
of any blacksmith shop save that of the COM
pany made the of this money possible
Oregon has long boasted that the beaver
coin, minted at Oregon City in the cary sos.
was the only money minted in the Northwest
in the days of the pioneer.
