TOUGH MINERS
Terrorize the People in the Eureka
Mining Camp

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 29.-Eureka,
mining camp on the Colville reserva-
ton, with 1000 population, is without
law, and tough characters there are
terrorizing the people.
j. II. Hughes of Spokane was recently
appointed United States commissioner
for duty there, and a deputy United
States marshal has been sent to the
camp, but can do little to enforce
law and order until the arrival of the
commissioner. The latter will go there
next Tuesday. Reliable mining men
from the camp predict that Eureka will
rival the Klondike before another year.
The ore is free milling, large ore bodies
and a number of claims are showing
careful assays running from $100 to $500
per ton.

BOMBSCAUSETERROR
The City OF Constantinople In a
State of Panic.
WERE THROWN At DIFFERENT POINTS
The Most Abjeot Horror Prevails In the
Precincts of the suItan's Palace,
and the Entire Police Force
Is Called Out.

Constantinople, Aug 19-The city is
almost in a panic over the news of
bomb explosions attempted or accom-
plished, yesterday afternoon at three
different points. The explosions are at
tributed to the Armenians.
AT 5 o'clock a bomb was thrown just
outside the police headquarters in the
Pera district. 1t failed to explode.
Almost at the same moment an Ar
menian, whose name, it is believed. II
Garabet, was arrested at the Imperial
Ottoman bank, in the Galata district.
He was carrying a package of explo-
sives which he was trying to ignite.
A second bomb was exploded in a pri-
vate road between the vizierate (ohices
Of the grand vizer) and the state coun-
ell house. One man was killed, and sew
eral others were seriously injured. The
explosion shattered windows in the VI
cinity and did other slight damage.
Police Make Number Of Arrests.
The police have made number OF ar
rests. Reports of the outrages spread
swiftly through the city and caused the
greatest excitement. The police and the
guards at the sultan's palace are taking
extraordinary precautions tonight which
have given color to a rumor that the
bomb throwing is part of a widespread
plot.
The most abject terror prevails in the
precincts of the palace. In many parts
Of the city, particularly IN the vicinity
Of the police headquarters and Of the
state council house. all the shops were
closed, and 1t was necessary to call out
the entire police force and the military
before anything like calm was restored.
The Armenian who was arrested at
the Imperial Ottoman bank was trying,
it is reported, to place the bundle OF
explosives near one Of the main en-
frances. The crowd who saw him de-
livered by the bank officials to the po-
lice would have made short work of him
if they had not been prevented.
The police are very retlcent as TO the
reason for summoning the palace guard
and closing all the doors and gateways
but it is rumored that similar outrage
was attempted within the palace and
that the approaches were barred to pre-.
vent the exit of the would be murderer

CHALLENGED GOD.
A Seeding Forced Open the Walled
Tomb of an InfideI Countess.

A Seeding Forced Open the Walled
Tomb of an InfideI Countess.
"In the town of Hanover, in Ger
many" Evangelist Moody writes in
Ladies' Home Journal, there is buried
German countess who denied the
existence Of God and ridiculed the idea
of the resurrection. To further show
her contempt for Christianity she or
dered that on her death her grave
should be built up of solid masonry
and covered by large stones bound to-
gether by iron clamps. On this tomb
was engraved her defiant challenge
that through eternity this tomb should
never be disturbed. But one day the
seed from some tree, either blown by
the wind or carried by a bird, became
lodged in a small crevice of the tomb,
where soon it sprouted and began to
grow. And then, as if nature had
seemed to mock the naughty infdel,
she quietly extended the delicate root
of that Seeding under the massive
blocks of stone, and slowly raised them
from their place. And now, although
scarce four generations are passed
since that tomb was sealed thatinsignih-
cant Seeding has accomplished what
God Himself was challenged to accom-
plish."

ENERGY SADLY WASTED.
A Calculating Barber's AstOnishin z
Figures OF a Bicycle Century Run.

Calculating Burber's Astonishing
Figures of a Bicycle Century Run.
Snyder, the calculating barber, was
talking about cycling. and was holding
forth upon the energy expended by
women in making century runs, says
the Philadelphia Record. II have done
q little figuring on the subject" he re-
marked, "and the result is most surpris-
dng.
"Take a woman who weighs 120
pounds and who rides a wheel weigh
ing 20 pounds. In riding 100 miles l
have calculated that power of more
than 100000 pounds of energy, or
about 100 horsepower, has been
brought into play And to think that
all this has been expended in riding a
bicycle.
"Had the woman directed this energy
in running a sewing machine, where
a force of two pounds will run a needle
over a piece of cloth for distance of a
foot, she could have hemmed a piece of
muslin about 100000 feet, or nearly
800 miles long.
''The same amount of energy used to
propel baby carriage weighing 10
pounds, containing a baby weighing 12
pounds more, would send the young
ster 500 miles. The same amount of
energy expended in churning would
produce 30 tons Of butter, or would
push carpet sweeper over an area OF
250,000 square feet.
THE woman also could have ironed
without any more fatigue, a strip OF
muslin one foot wide and 210 miles long
And if she had been shopping, just
think Of all the bargain counters she
could have walked around. I tell you
it's astonishing. Bay rum or witch

BIGGEST YOKE OF OXEN.
Actual Weight OF the Mammoth AMI

mails Is 1900 Pounds.
The greatest yoke of cattle ever seen
in this country is owned by j. d. Avery,
Iof Buckland, Mass. They are named
Joe and Jerry. Their age is eight years
land they measure ten feet in girth.
They stand II hands high and their
measurement from tip 10 tip is Is feet
IL inches. There is not a difference of
ten pounds in weight between them,
and the two together tip the scales at
1880 pounds. They hold the worlds
lrecord for one pull, having drawn IL
'O61 pounds of stone, loaded on dray,
lon level, just eight feet in one draw.
They are models Of symmetry in build,
ARE extremely kind and docile and beau
tifuliy colored. The best of care is
devoted to them, one man spending
several hours every day in grooming
land cleaning them. They have been
on exhibition at all Of the principal ag-
ricultural fairs in the country.
In speaking Of his handsome yoke OF
oxen Mr.. Avery said: ''The oxen have
mot by any means reached their limit;
they have gained in weight some 700
pounds the past year and are capable
of carrying another thousand pounds.
Unlike other large cattle, their flesh is
distributed very evenly, which adds
very much to their looks, and they
stand on their limbs as straight as a
pair Of calves.
'They are remarkably intelligent and
well trained, as you can judge from
the position which they take in the pho
tograph. They are very active and can
easily walk mile in 30 minutes. They
are colored, like all pure Holsteins,
black and white. Their coats are as
fine and glossy as a thoroughbred
racers. They are still worked moder-
ntely when at home. Their yoke was
made to order, and probably is the
largest yoke ever worn by any team.
