Chino Farmers Receive Good Prices
for Their Product.
CHINO, Cal, July 21.-The Chino
and Alamitos beet factories opened up
for the seasons work on Monday, and
will continue in full blast during the
next five months. The beets in the
neighborhood of both factories are
testing higher than in any previous
year, many of them attaining the as
tonishing percentage of 20 saccharine.
The beets are of fair size, and the aver
age yield will be about eight tons to
the acre. The price paid by the fac
tories is 1926 per ton for II per cent
saccharine, with ascending scale of 25
cents additional per ton for each per-
centage of saccharine over IL. 1t fol-
lows that beets of 20 per cent sacchar-
inc will be worth $525 ton. This is
considered by the farmers as ample re-
for their work. The out
come of the season will be the most
in the history of the in
dustry.

A REMARKABLE CURE OF
CHRONIC DIARRHOEA.

In 1862, when 1 served my country
as a private in Company A, 18th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, contracted
chronic diarrhoea. 1t has given me a
great deal of trouble ever since. 1 have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief Not long ago a
friend sent me a sample bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, and after that I bought
and took so cent bottle; and now l
can say that l am entirely cured.
cannot be thankful enough to you for
this great Remedy, and recommend it
to all suffering veterans. If in doubt,
write me. Yours gratefully, HENRY

Lady Somerset Resigns Presidency
of Woman's Temperance
Association.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Recogniz-
ing the Importance of the recent gold
discoveries in Alaska and the adjoin-
ing territory, and in obedience to the
formation in regard thereto, the Com
missioner of Labor has detailed from
his regular force an expert, thoroughly
familiar with all the features of gold
mining, to proceed Immediately to the
Klondyke for the purpose of making
a careful and exhaustive study of the
conditions as they exist there. 1t is the
intention of the Commissioner to en-
body the facts in special report or
bulletin of the department, which will
appear at as early date as possible.
This is a subject of absorbing inter-
est to all classes, and in making this
investigation the Commissioner feels
that he is working in the interests of
the unemployed. Such report as that
contemplated, giving the unbiased
facts as to the opportunities for the
investment of capital and employment
of labor, wages, cost of living, etc.,
would be of value to the people of this
country
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson be-
lieves that Congress, at its next SEES
sion, will authorize the establishment
of agricultural experiment stations in
Alaska He said today that he had nc
doubt the people in some parts of Alas
ka would be able to produce their own
vegetables and to some extent the &C.
reals they will need. The hardy classes
of animals, he said, also could be grown
there. The cattle from the mountains
of Scotland, he believed, could be raised
successfully in Alaska, but so far as is
known now the mining regions in that
vicinity of the headquarters of the Yu-
kon river are about 1000 miles away
from any part of Alaska in which agri-
culture could be successfully pursued

A Chainless Bicycle.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Three promi-
nent bicycle manufacturers have left
for Europe on the steamship Furst
Bismarck. They are Col. A. A. Pope,
M. L. Bridgman and A. G. Spalding,
and are accompanied by W. A. Redding,
a patent attorney. 1t is said that when
they return they will bring back pat
ent for chainless wheel, which will
be the characteristic feature of the
make of 1898. There are several new
designs, and one of them in particular,
which has given rise to the old-time
'mile-a-minute" speculation, is causing
a sensation in London. 1t is known as
the Baker gearing, and is of the COM
pound crank and sun and plate style OF
gear.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.
1t Has Reached the Lowest Point in
Two Years.

1t Has Reached the Lowest Point in
Two Years.
NEW YORK, July 22.-The Herald
says: Bar silver has declined to the
lowest price in two years, and private
dispatches from abroad received in
Wall street are to the effect that the
holders of the white metal have weak
ened" Some of the bullion brokers
assume that this means that the silver
pool which was formed abroad more
than year ago was liquidating its
holdings.
Other brokers were of the opinion
that the holdings of the pool had been
liquidated some time ago and that the
lessened demand for silver in the East
through the adoption of the gold stan
dard by Japan, among other reasons
was responsible for the decline. Out
siders generally called attention to the
fact that the recession in price came
simultaneously with the announcement
of the great gold discoveries in the
Klondyke region.

was now keeping the books of the set
Element and the necessity of his know
ing all the points in regard to the place,
that he be sent along with Mr. Rey-
nolds. The Board so voted.
Three protests against the action of
the Board in the killing of certain
dairy cows, were read and placed on
file. The protests demanded that the
Government pay for the COWS killed.
A report from DR.. Myers, dispensary
physician, recommending the granting
of small quantity of opium to three
Cinnamon, was read. The Board did
not see the need of action, since, if in
the discretion of the dispensary physi-
clan. the Cinnamon should be given the
opium, it lay in his power to do so.
The application of Captain Berg
strom for the place of superintendent
at the Quarantine Station was read.
The names of the officers of the Ma
tional Guard and others were cited for
reference.
President Smith was of the opinion
that the employment of such officers
was the province of the Executive Off
Ger, Mr.. Reynolds.
DR.. Wood-The Board did not sus-
pend Mr.. McVeigh.
DR.. Emerson should not like to see
any injustice done Mr.. McVeigh.
DR.. Day-As chairman of the Quar-
antine Committee, should like to
know who is to be given control at
Mauliola.
1t was the opinion of the Board that
the matter should be discussed in exec
utive session, so further discussion
stopped.
President Smith reported that, since
the last meeting, H. Hackfeld, German
Consul, had asked for permission for a
certain German doctor, who arrived on
the Glade with the immigrants, to go
to the leper settlement for scientific
purposes. The petition had been grant
ed. The Board approved the action OF
the President
DR.. divers report of matters at the
leper settlement, showed 25 deaths for
the quarter, ending June Goth, this in
Guiding two kokuas and two non-lep-
rous infants.
A letter from Kailua, leper at the
settlement asking that he be allowed
to take pictures of the settlement with
a camera, recently presented to him by
friend, was read. Comments unfavor
able to the granting of the petition
were made. The Board then voted tha
the petition be not granted and thai
the Assistant Superintendent at thu
settlement be instructed by the Execu
tive Officer that no one shall be allowed
to take pictures there, except by ex
press permission from the Board.
President Smith then told of a rec
ommendation made by DR.. Day to tn,
effect that it would be feasible to tr,
the experiment of making artificial!
at the Kalihi Experiment Station tn
same baths as those to be found a
the Kusatsu Springs in Japan. The ex
pertinent could be tried with very
small expense. The appliances at Ka
lihi were ample. The ingredients wer
all that was needed. 1t was certainl,
in the direction of the work of tn
Board and was not only desirable bu
a duty.
DR.. Day said that he had understood
the Kalihi Experiment Station woult
be closed during the absence of DR.. Al
varez. A great deal of good might b.
accomplished during that time and tn
results of the baths might be notice
able.
Dr. Day consented to assume super
vision of the work

LONDON, July 24.-Lady Henry
Somerset has resigned the presidency
of the British Womens Temperance
Association. She recently addressed a
circular to the presidents of the branch
associations, asking them not to ap-
prove or sign petitions to Lord George
Hamilton, Secretary of State for India,
against the renewal of the contagious
diseases act for India. The branches,
almost without exception, refused to be
governed by Lady Henry's request and
she has consequently resigned the
presidency of the association.

Aftermath of Panama Scandal In

PARIS, July 2O.-The Figaro says

NJ. Faure, demanding an indemnity of
million francs from the French Gov
eminent for false accusations brought
against him by French officials and
members of the French Parliament.
In the course of the letter he laid
stress upon his American citizenship,
and asserted that he expected his
claim would be energetically supported
by the United States.
