age, is simple minded, deaf and
dumb, her nerves are shattered and
she is as helpless as q baby. Mr..
Burch said his father and mother
were dead, and as he had no family
OF his own, he found it impossible
for him to longer care for her, and
be had brought her before the coun-
ty court.
The court Investigated the case
and finding that the afflicted woman
was possessed OF property notified
Mr.. Burch that the county could do
nothing for her. So he was com
PEELED to return home with her. As
the estate is being settled up, Mr.
Burch was advised to go before the

appointed to take charge of her and
her part of the estate He said he
thought he could get his married
brother to accept the trust. The

Declares Shafter Was Responsible.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The Journal OF
the American Medical Association,
edited by DR.. John b Hamilton,
will print TO morrow an article by
Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas Sem,
Z. s V, chief Of the operating staff
with the army in the field entitled:
The Qualifications and Duties of
the Military Surgeon.
Colonel Sem says that the regular
army surgeons do not compare with
practitioners from civil life. They
have no competition, he says, and no
matter how bright, they fail to
advance much after leaving school.
1T was not the Medical Depart
ment, says DR. Sem, "but the AFRO.
gance or stupidity of the Command
ing General Of the invading army,
that was responsible for the extern
sive outbreak of yellow fever during
the Cuban campaign. This experience
is sufficient to teach Commanding
Generals that it is unsafe in the
future to follow such an example, as
az iuprudence of this kind, giving
rise 10 inexcusable slaughter and
indescribable suffering, will meet
with universal Indignation"

SHOT IN THE FACE.
Will Powell and Ben r. Parker Have
Serious Difficulty.
An Old Political Feud the Cause.


On last Thursday afternoon Will
Powell prominent young farmer
of Summit township, son of Judge
Booker Powell of this city, was shot
in the face aud badly wounded by
Prof. Ben f. Parker. son of G. B.
Parker, also a prominent citizen and
farmer of Summit.
The shooting occurred at the
iron bridge over Mound branch

this they were unsuccessful 1t had
fractured tbs lower jaw and taken a
downward course and is supposed to
have lodged in the muscles OF the
neck. After dressing his wound he
was taken to the home of his father
in the southeast part OF this city.
The evidence as to the cause of
the shooting is very conflicting but
probably grew out Of an old political
fsud, they belonging to different fac
tons in the democratic party. The
rumors as to the immediate cause of
the shooting is very conflicting and
as one of the principals is unable to
make a statement and the other,
by tho advice OF his attorneys, re-
fuses to talk and the witnesses also
refuse to say anything, we will have
to wait the preliminary trial set for
September II to bring out the facts.
John and Bud Powell, brothers OF
the wounded man, armed themselves
and taking a buggy started out
on the Johnstown road in the di
rection Of Mr.. Parksr's home. They

ME Rose Mine, in the Morongo
 District, San Bernardino County,
 is the largest mine in Southern
 4 California The direct route is to go by rail to Victor and then drive forty miles up into the noun tains. We were hunting at Bear Val ley. fifty miles staging from San Ber- nardino, when a visit to the mine, fif- teen miles away, was suggested
 The gentlemen in the party were un- certain about woman's being al- lowed to descend the mine, as there is no cage, only the buckets for carry ing the ore, but everybody was so good to me at Randsburg that I had hopes 1t would be all right. The road was picturesque in the extreme, winding in and out among the mountains, and occasionally we came in sight of a large portion of the Mojave desert, with its wonderful colorinEs, so that I felt we were well paid for our exertions be- fore we reached the mine and would have been reconciled even had we failed to see it, but MT. Harrison, the super intendsnt, greeted us cordially and told us we were welcome to so every where and see everything.
 I was crazy to go down the shaft at once and could hardly wait for the next bucket to be emptisd of its ore before clambsring in, but I thought I euxlt to be courteous, so asked the others who should go first. To my surprise, one of the gentlemen had lost his interest

 Another tea gowns which Is a special favorite this season is made of slik crepon in a light turquoise shade. The gown in front hangs straight and full from its satin collar. Just at the waist line two deep pointed reveres start, which broaden out as they reach the shoulders. These reveres are outlined with frill of point Venice lace, which below the waist line falls to the bot tom of the robe in a fluffy jabot, out lining the front breadth of the gown. The sleeve Is most unpretentious. It is made of the crepon, and is nearly tight fitting. being a trifle fuller at the shoulder than the wrist, where 1t ends in a deep point edged with lace. All the sleeves of the newest tea gowns fall well over the hands. Encircling the waist of this tea gown Is a broad band of turquoise satin ribbon. which ties at the left side in a bow with many ends. The collar is also of the satin ribbon with a big bow at the back and the ribbon half smothered in becoming lace frill.

in the mine, another was feeling the altitude of 1000 feet so greatly he felt he should lie down a while, and finally our exploring party had dwindled to one young man (whom the others said was too youthful to know fear) and myself (and hadn't sense enough). So the youth and I climbed into the bucket, which didn't look big enough for one, and down into the blackness we dropped. Mir. Harrison descending the ladder beside us.
 The shaft is sufficiently off the per- pendicular for the buckets to run on steel skids, and that makes the mo- tion much smoother than if you were swinging loose in the shaft, and the air through the whole mine is wonderfully cool and sweet, so that we didn't feel suffocated. But it's astonishing how long 1t takes to go down 5oe feet of darkness, and that's as far as the first shaft goes. At every hundred foot level there is a 5eo-foot drift. and the ore has all been worked out between levels by stoping, until now they are working on the ese-foot level.
 We were helped out of the bucket by some astonished-lookins miners and we lighted our candles from theirs and walked along the drift on the little rail way on which the buckets roll for 800 feet, and there was a gasoline engine operating the hoist in shaft going down an other 800 feet. This shaft is not as well finished as the first, as it is not to be permanent. and the engineer ser teusly objected to our using the bucket. but MT. Harrison explained the situation
 and we climbed in again. and We,

lined either with fine flannel or with wadded satin. One which seemed more for ornament than practical use was made of faint yellow India silk, trimmed with fluffy frills of accordion pleated chiffon and tiny puffings of the chiffon. The silk sleeve was exception ally pretty. Three pleated frills of the chiffon airily fell over the top of the sleeve, while from the shoulder to the wrist the silk was horizontally striped at intervals with outings of the chif- fon.
 The collar was also effective. It was a stock of the silk with an accordion pleated ruffle falling over it and veri- table silk and chiffon butterfly at the back. This delicate little matinee is an exceptionally pretty model to copy in less perishable fabrics.
 Another silk tea jacket Is rose pink in color, and its special feature Is a deep collar of lace insertion run with satin ribbon and edged with lace ruff fle. the lace falling over the shoulder and then continuing almost to the waist line. The silk sleeves are also striped with the lace insertion.

 The same pattern of lace trims the front of the gown in jabot for some distance below the waist line.

It has no deco ration whatever until 1t hears the wrist. where two bands of lace are inserted and q deep frill of the lace then appears In a graceful finish.
 The tea gown of one material, with sleeves of another, !s regarded aa fash ionable this year. It gives the eco nomical woman ansexcellent opportu- nifty of making us of her old gowns. And then the tea gown yelled in net or gauge Is another fad of the hour. Silk party gowns, which have served we'll their duty at the dance, may be trans formed by f1lmy drapery of gauge or net into a tea gown beautiful to be- hold.

lowered still more slowly to the s0o- foot level. When we got out there we could see the work of the mine going on in all directions. Some were pick ing out the ore over their heads, soma were drilling holes for the blasting which takes place at noon and night, some were filling the buckets. We were told this was as far as the buckets could go as yet, but if we wished to climb down ladder a hundred feet we could get to the absolute base of ope- rations."
 So we climbed down and found one poor. lone man drilling for blasting and keeping cheerful by forcing his breath out between his teeth with a loud hiss every time he struck his drill. Then we climbed back the hundred feet and seventy more. and went out on another drift, and climbed down winze on an overhanging ladder where some men were working In a sort of pocket. They were more astonished than the others had been. but one of them recovered .uf5ciently to offer me a very pretty specimen he had just found. and we started back.
 When we reached the surface of the earth again We found all our party suf- f,ciently recovered to accompany us around the mills. These are quite extensive, including a ten-stamp mill, and the necessary offices, stores, etc, all in a wonderful condition of neat ness and order. but felt as if this was all of secondary interest to the e0e- foot plunge into darkness and tho cur ious doings of the mole-like miners at their lamp-lit work
