Mixed Up FORTUNE.

A Denver paper prints Il stor. OF a
-stenograpller of that city, Miss Manic
Norton, who is reported To have fallen
heir to $4,000 from her father by adoption,
Frank Norton. The girl at one time lived
in Deadwohl and from information fur
nislled from that city it is altogether likely
that tho little story Of romance will have
to lie spoiled. Miss Norton was adopted
by Frank Norton several years ago in
Deadwood after the death Of the
girls father. From Deadwood they
went to Chicago to live and there Norton
died about ten years ago. The girl re-
turned to her mother and soon after moved
to Denver TO live. Norton's wife went to
Centralia, Kan. A few days ago Mrs.
Norton died, and the fact has been pub
lished that the adopted girl is the only
surviving heir ..id will get possession of
the SIG, 900. The fact of tic case is Mrs.
Norton married Ole Anderson a short
time ago and before her death she willed
all of her former husbands property to

TO RULE ALL EGYPT.
GREAT BRITAIN WILL DECLARE
A PRoTEcToRATE..
True Meaning of the Activity in the.
British Foreign Office = France
Agrees to Retire from Faslloda, but.
Other Powcrs May Act.

Advices from London say that Great
Britain's secret is out Mt last in the opin-
Ion Of well informed men of affairs who,
have been keeping close track OF the re.
cent extraordinary preparations for war.
OF far more Importance than the posi-
bility Of o little brush with Franco, which.
would be q repetition of the Spanish.
American war, is the declaration that
England is about to take the bull by the.
horns and proclaim a protectoratc over all
Of Egypt. This is the theory that is now
generally accepted as being the true solu.
ton Of the problem, and it is the only one
on which the remarkable activity of the
wal office and the admiralty can be salts
factorily accounted for.
All probability OF trouble with France
vanished with the receipt of positive state
mcnts from Paris that Major Marchand
will be Internationally withdrawn from
Fasl.oda, but the wal preparations have
been continued since then with more en-
crgy than before.
The proclamation CT Egypt as n part of
the British empire would set all Europe
by the cars and would undoubtedly result
i'll war were it not known that England
was prepared aud looking for trouble.

The British naval and military prepara-
tons arc being pushed TO an extent with

England was about to declare a protccto-
rite in 1854, urged to do so by Prince Bis
'narck, and it was only Mt the last min
ute, when nil the preparations had been
made, that the scheme was abandoned
for a more favorable opportunity. That
opportunity seems now al hand.
Enslanl's occupation of Egypt is. based
ON might and has frequently been de-
nounced by the khedive himself, by his

entered into IL contract with the aut!lori-
ties of Mitchell to sink an artesian we'll to
he used for city purposes. Several former
wells were not of IL satisfactory character
because work WAS prcmaturciy stopped
owing to the drills striking IL layer of
what was supposed TO be impcnetrablc
rock. The Chamberlain firm Il few days
ago completed the we'll to more than the
depth called for in the original contract,
but witliou. striking water. The we'll
was sunk about 10 feet deeper than the
former wells, showing that the layer of
rock can be penetrated. The drillers are
confident that the rock is not Jasper, as
las been supposed, but Il very hard sand
rock, with the probability that by drilling
completely through h il il goo! tlow of water
can be struck. Thecouncil has therefore
decided To have the drilling continued and
work has cen resumed.
