SAN BERNARDINO.N Nov. 20.-(Regu-
lar Correspondence.) The case Of the
Mexican boy. Carlos Guvara, is a pecu-
liar one and, IL his story is true, a ro-
mantle one. Before he was arrested for
obtaining money under false pretenses
by signing his name to check for SO,
when he had no money in the bank, he
related his history, claiming that he was
worth 100000 in and around the City
Of Mexico. and was here for his health.
He speaks both French and Spanish
fiuently and describes his possessions
as to the size and location of
his ranches and who is living en- them,
also the city property in Mexico. even
naming the streets and localities and
giving the names of the persons who
occupy the premises. offices, etc. He
refers to many well-known people as
his acquainances and friends, one Of
whom is the minister Of foreign rela-
tions Of the Mexican government, with
whom he and his family are intimate.
He says his mother Is living, but his
father is dead, and that Ingacio Sepul-
veda. formerly of Los Angeles, Is his
guardian and has charge Of all his prop
erty in Mexico. He describes his pi op-
erty in plain. matter Of fact way that
almost carries conviction Of it's truth.
Letters have been sent to Mexico to test
the accuracy Of his Information: II the
story is not true it is probably the result
of diseased mind, caused by i'll health
and attacks Of epilepsy.

The Potato Outlook.

The possibility and probability of po-
ato imports of considerable magnitude
The coming fall and winter form an in
seresting subject Of speculation. The
American Agriculturist reports that
'prices are now close to the importing
point, and it will be remembered that
in years of short domestic crops not
alone are good many tubers brought
in from the lower Canadian provinces,
but also from Scotland and occasionally
from the north Of Europe. 1t is far from
certain that those countries will have
any to spare the present season. During
the seven months ended July 81, which
included the period for importing Ber-
muda stock, a total of 1877, 200 bushels
OF foreign potatoes came into this coun-
try against 1o5, 900 year ago. Exports
for this period were respectively 402,-
600 and 299. 900 bushels. %

Mr.. Adams was born in Rumford in
this State, Sept. 20, 1873. His boyhood
was passed on beautiful meadow farm
of 400 acres enclosed by the Ellis and
Androscoggin rivers. The place was Sc
lected by his grandfather, Revolution
airy soldier, who built the house and barn
there in 1901. The latter only is standing
today. 1t is IS feet long and built of
huge timbers. Mr.. Adams's ancestor
was William Adams, swho arrived ia Cam
bridge, Mass, in 1886, and subsequently
settled in Ipswich. His grandparents
on the Adams side were Nathan and Bet
sey (Poor)ss adams, the latter daughter
of Eben Poor. Nathan Adams was of
the sixth generation from William Adams,
and was soldier of the Revolution. His
maternal grandparents were Ezekiel and
Sarah Emery Merrill. Ezekiel Merrill
was also soldier of the Revolution.
SO1Uu61 AO1Itls ldUU0I was NdUuHu
Adams Jr., who was soldier of 1872
and helped garrison Portland. His moth
er was Susan Merrill.
Nathan Adams, Jr., was killed by a
fall in the barn when john, the Oldest
child was but ten years Of age. The
widow was left with five small children.
She had taught school before her mar
riage, and was more studious than busi-
ness-like in her habits. Her friends ad-
vised her to sell the farm, but she de-
termined to attempt its management in
order to keep her family together. For
three years..John did not go to school, but
devoted himself to sharing his mothers
new duties and responsibilities.
When he was fifteen years old he lived
for kthree months in the winter with a
cousin, who was student at Bowdoin
and who acted as his tutor in his prepa-
ration for college, for both his mother
and himself were resolved that he should
! have good education. The next winter
he attended school in Turner, and the
next at Bethel, where he taught school
the following spring.
In the spring of 1888, during what was
known as the "Aroostook war" he volun-
teered in the following way. He was desi-
rous of going more in spirit of adven-
ture and love of seeing new country than
anything else. When the officers came to
draft citizens of Rumford, there was
much anxiety among parents, and even
among young men themselves. One cow

TAMMANY REGAINs CONFIDENCE.

l. As'A4OAAANo Oo4t lDG4NOi1.
New York, October 29.-Ihe practical
politicians are all said to agree that the
remarkable Democracy of Thomas Jetfer-
son, built up by Henry George in three
weeks, Will not be principle factor in
next tuesdays election. 1t has been gen
orally estimated that he would have
polled more than 100, 600 votes II be had
survived the campaign, but these votes
are probably not transferable. Some OF
the leaders were in favor of throwing TIE
influence of the organization to Seth
Low, but the campaign committee de-
olded not to give up the fight and noml-
mated young Henry George to take his
fathers place.
Young George has little Of his father s
ability as % campaigner and organizer
and Is not we'll known. The Tammany
leaders have regained their confidence
that was shaken by Henry Georges ex-
traordinary campaign during the past
week. They have called in their anti
George literature, silenced their anti
George speakers, are mourning for George
as a good man and Democrat and hope
to get the better part of his vote
Seth Low will probably get a consider
able proportion a few thousand voters
will probably stick to young George, and
as the Tracy leaders have said ali along
that there were no straight out Republi-
cans in the Gsorge ranks they probably
expect nothing.

Fighting Yesterday.
Simla, October 29.-According to de-
spatches from Gundaki, Sir William
Lockhart explained his plan of attack to
his officers last evening and the advance
from Gundaki commenced in the dark
ness atout five O'Clock this morning. The
main force with six batteries moved
straight on the pass. Detachments were
sent to operate on the villages fianks.
When day dawned all the troops were in
position at the foot of the pass. The
enemy's position was very strong and the
approaches to it We're greatly exposed,
but until now, the resistance had been
trifing, the tribesmen having been easily
expelled from the villages of Nazens and
Kundimishti Three batteries opened the
attack ON the pass between seven and
eight o'clock, the artillery thoroughly
searching the enemy's shelters, while a
portion of the force turned the enemy's
position on the right. All but six bat.
teries then shelled the offences The
enemy could not face the fire, and General
Gazelee, who led the infantry spiritedly
had comparatively easy task.
The pass was found to be series of
steep rises affording much dead ground
to an attacking party. The troops under
cover of mountain battery captured
height after height, and finally the
fourth Gurkhas and the West Surrey men
arrived at the summit together at $50 a.
m.
The enemy now opened we'll directe
fire at the troops on the summit, but were
effectually cleared from the surrounding
heights in about three hours, The total
casualties did not exceed twenty.
With the expected capture of Arganga

miles of the Afghan frontier at Safed-

Feeding New Oats.

An experienced farmer once told us
that when he was obliged to begin feed
ing new oats while still moist he had
saved injury to his horses by giving an
equal bulk with them of wheat bran.
AS the bran is itself nutritious the
amount OF oats may be diminished to
the extent that the bran by weight is
substituted. AS the oats dry out the
proportion of bran may be decreased
until none is given. Yet in seasons
when oats were dear we have known
bran and corn meal used as substitute
for feeding to working horses. -Ameri-

advised of the death Of Henry George.
The Senator said:
"It is shock to the country. Henry
George was an honest man; a man of
convictions. But as far as his usefulness
was concerned it was neutralized by his
one idea. Had he been broader in his
views he would have been a great bene-
demagogue. George was winning many
votes from Tammany."

death of Henry George was almost the
