feared he was going to be robbed, and
fired. not knowing that his victim was
Grover. But this story, according to
the news from lone, is completely ex-
ploded by the testimony Of several wit
nesses, all Of whom agree on one point.
and that is the utter falsity of Cassells'
version.
Warren Kirkendall, who witnessed the
shooting, states that he was hitching his
horse when he heard the shot and saw
Grover drop to the sidewalk. Cassel!s
was standing under the lamp in front
OF Mays saloon. The men were proba-
bly, twelve feet apart when the shot was
fired. The men were facing each other,
for Grover was coming down the street.
Kirkendall ran over to where the man
lay. He said it was light enough to dis
tinguish persons.
Ralph Sutton swore at the coroner's
Inquest that there was sufficient light to
recognize Cassells' features across the
street. Other witnesses bear out this
testimony and contradict Cassels.

ALL AMERICA
To Hold an Exposition Near Niagara
Falls

Falls
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-A delega-
ton representing the officers and d.
rectors of the American Exposition
company called upon the president yes
terday and laid before him the plans of
the exposition which is to be held at La
Sale on the Niagara river in the sum-
mer Of 1889. The chief object of the ex-
position Is to promote the export trade
of the United States on longitudinal
lines and supplement the work that has
been done by the government within the
last ten years through the international
American conference, the reciprocity
treaties, the bureaus of American repub-
lies, the Manufacturers association, the
Philadelphia museum and similar en-
terprises. -
The proposed expedition Is to be held
on an exceedingly picturesque site on
the Niagara river, short distance from
the falls. 1t is intended to be purely
an American exposition. While exhib-
it's from foreign countries will not be
declined, no formal invitation will be
sent to any government outside the
American hemisphere. 1t is expected
that Canada, Mexico, Central America
South America and the West India col
onies will be represented by large dis
plays illustrating their natural re-
sources and Industries than have ever
heretofore been made.
President Mckinley will send spe-
cial message to congress on this subject
shortly after the opening of the next ses-
sion.

that gave rise to the suspicion that she

Princess Dolgorouky came to this
country from Paris, under contract to

about two months since. She was heav-

SENSIBLE ADVICE

KOKOMO, Ind, Nov. 27.-John c.
Brady, who was raised in this vicinity,
has written letter of advice to the edi-
tor of the Union Dispatch of this place
that he wishes all Indianans and others
interested to read and profit by.
This letter is under date of November
1th from Sitka, and is full of interest.
He says:
Before coming to Alaska to seek gold,
consider well the dark side The country
is mountainous, immense glaciers fill
many of the valleys, most all the streams
have swift currents, a large part of the
surface is covered with moss which
thaws out but little more than q foot
in summer. In winter everything be-
comes solid and prospecting must be
done with fire. Scrape off the moss,
start fire; when it dies out scrape out
the thawed earth. repeating the opera
ton indefinitely. The country affords no
food. The means of transportation are
few and costly. Remember that the
mosquito comes to full development in
northern latitudes.
Man needs experience to be sue
cessful in mining. My advice to the
man who has made up his mind to come
to Alaska is to bring a years supplies,
and If he is not experienced in mining,
to work for wages th.. 1irst year. He
is then in school and will receive wages
enough to save good sum beyond ex-
penses. When the next strike is re-
ported he will be able to buy his outfit
and secure claim for himself. 1t Is not
worth while to try this venture unless
you can give it from three to five years.

ties-not over four together

The week ending August 9th was from
one to two degrees warmer than usual
over the northern half of the State.
The minimum temperature ranged from
80 to go degrees and the maximum from
80 to 80 degrees and in some localities
we'll up in the nineties. A few light
showers OF rain fell in Elko, Lyon and
Ormsby counties, but it was nowhere
sufficient to benefit ranges materially.
The dry and hot weather is causing the
feed on the ranges to fail rapidly, but
cattle and sheep are not materially af-
fected as vet and their condition remains
about the same as last week. All the
principal crops have been harvested in
Lincoln county and the wheat and bar
vest have begun in portions of Nye
county. From Nye county 1northward
wheat, oats and barley are at about the
same stage in all sections, except, per-
haps, little further advanced in Law
der. Over all this portion OF the State
these crops are ripening fast and the
present week will probably advance them
beyond the danger stage in this section,
of Eiko and Humboldt, where they are
liable to injury from frost.

NeYada's Wealth.

1t seems that there will be a very no.
table revival of interest in gold mining
IN consequence of the reports received
OF the discovery of rich placers in the
valley OF the Klondyke. The excitement
caused by the reports has set the Pacific
coast on fire. 1t has swept across the
country, and along the Atlantic seaboard
the interest is almost as great as in the
far west. e@F
1t may be expected that the result will
be good for gold mining everywhere. 1t
will direct attention to Nevada and
every other part of the United States
where there is room for prospecting.
Frequently when men inquire into an
Industry they find that it offers greater
inducements than they thonght it pos
sessed. So doubtless many persons who
have their eyes open to the profit which
exists in the production of gold. 1t
is important for the people of Nevada
to take advantage of this situation.
Although the production of gold in this
State has greatly increased since re-
newed attention has been given to the
industry, the east yet remains in large
degree ignorant of Nevada's wealth.
Virginia Enterprise.
While it is true that the people of the
east are Comparatively ignorant of the
mineral wealth of Nevada, they are
densely ignorant OF its agricultural and
stock raising resources. They look upon
the State as mere area of mountains
and desert, whose only production is
sage brush and lizards. They have no
idea of the vast area of tillable land
within its borders that produces all the
grains and fruits of the temperate zones
as well as many of those that grow in
the tropics. Our fertile valleys and hills
are covered with nutritious grasses upon
which feeds thousands of heads of cattle
and horses and vast focks of sheep find
no place on their maps OF the State.
Rich as Nevada is in its mineral
wealth it is vastly moreso in its agricul-
tural and stock raising possibilities. Its
broad acres OF level plains will some day
feel the magic touch OF the water now
going to waste, and instead OF the vast
AREA Of unsightly saee brush win be
seen fields Of waving grain. Residences.
schoolhouses and churches will dot The

make music where now only the yelp OF
the coyote is heard.
Rich in everything that goes to make
prosperous State, Nevada offers more
inducements to idle capital to-day than
any other State in the Union. Hidden
wealth lies in her barren mountain sides
and in the soil of her broad and fertile

San Fracisco. Feb. ia letter from
Honolulu, dated February 10, says:
william o. Smith, attorney general
in President Dolc's cabinet, starts for
Washington, by today's steamer to
confer with Minister Hatch In regard
to annexation. His sudden departure
is due to a letter received. yesterday.
from the minister.
Mr.. Smith goes on as the onicial
representative of the government with
full power to enter into any agreement
without communicating with. the home
government. He expects to remain in
Washington only two weeks. and while
the higher officials refuse to make any
statement. 1t is the general opinion
that annexation negotiations with the
United States have reached an acute
stage.
There has been for some time a Sc
rious difference Of opinion in the cab
met as to whether the governments
should insist upon certain conditions
in the event Of annexation or should
leave everything for the American
Congress to determine. But these Diff
ferences have all been adjusted and
President Dole and the members OF
the cabinet are now a unit in the
opinion that there should be no condi-
tions whatever imposed by this gov
ernment. but that annexation pure and
simple should be accerted."

Congressional Notes.

The proposition to revise and codify the
criminal and penal laws of the United
states by means of commission of
three members appointed by the Presi-
dent. Thursday. was offered as an amend
ment to the sundry civil bill by Senator
Hoar.
The Spanish government has agreed to
release Julio Sanguilly. the American cit
lzen who was arrested in Cuba almost
two years ago. When the committee on
foreign relations. Wednesday. took up the
consideration of Mr.. Calls resolution in
structing the President to demand his
release. the committee deemed
IT wise to postpone action for one day i'm
order to ascertain if there had been any
developments in the case since the sub
mission of the correspondence to the Sem
ate. Thursday morning. a letter was re-
ceived from Secretary Olney announcing
that the Spanish government had agreed
to his immediate release. The commit tee
will therefore wait until next Wednesday,
its regular meeting day. and IL the re-
lease is not granted by that time. a unan-
imous report in favor of the resolution
will be made to the Senate.
