SPAIN DOESN'T WANT PEACE.
Declare That War Can he Continue"
for Two Years.

Madrid, June 1.-THE campaign lnau-
gurated by some of the foreign newsPa'
pers in favor of peace between SPAN
and the United States, is not approved
here. According to the opinions of several
generals, Spain is capable of continuing
war in Cuba for two years even under inc
most unfavorable circumstances. herefore
they add, it is useless to talk OF peace
unless it implies return to the status
quo ante-bellum.
The government, it is added, has not
received any suggestions of peace from inc
powers, and in political circles, it Is ae'
clared, if such suggestion were received
the government would politely decline u
entertain it on the ground that SPAN
has decided to pursue the war to the Oi''
ter end.

DEATH OF NELSON'S VICTIM.
Wounds He Inflicted on II. VI. Kerr
Were Fatal.

Boise, Idaho, June l3.-Thomas NJ
Kerr, who was shot June 1 by Charles
Nelson, for alleged intimacy with the lat
ter's wife, died at noon today. Every
thing that medicine could do was done
for the wounded man, but an autopsy
shows that the cause was hopeless IRON
the start The ball in the chest tore away
part of the covering of the heart, while
his leg was shattered in such way close
to the body that that alone would have
been serious. 1t is thought that there
was blood poisoning at the end, but there
is a difference of opinion on the suolec'
among the doctors Two physicians have
been here from Portland. The body VIII
be sent to Philadelphia. An inquest VIII
be held.

WASHINGTON STATE BUILDING
Funds Necessary for Its Erection
Have Been Secured.

Spokane, June l0.-There will doubt
less be two exhibits of ore from Washing
ton at the Omaha exposition. One will be
in the mining building where it is eX-
pected to compare favorably with the eX-
hbits from states that have seen many
more years of development in mines. The
other will be in the Washington state
builing. For Washington is to have a
building after all.
Some time ago the commission aban-
doned the idea owing to lack of time but
Seattle and Tacoma were not satisfied.
The builing itself was intended to be a
handsome display of Washington lum-
Der interests and there was disappoint-
ment when it was decided not to erect it.
Yesterday Captain c. IL. Thompson re-
ceived a message from Chairman ThOmp-
son of the commission sating that Seattle
and Tacoma have raised the necessary
funds and the building will be erected.
1t was also stated that the grounds has
been secured and the work of preparing
the lumber and all the construction that
can be done in the state will be done at
once and the material shipped at an early
day at Omaha.

BRUTAL CRIME IN BUTTE.
Little Ethel Gill Murdered by Some
Fiend.

Butte Mont, June ll.-Etnel Gill,
aged 8 years, disappeared from her nome
on South Ohio street on Thursday even
inc. This morning her dead body was
found in an clubhouse several blocks
from the residence of her parents. The
condition of the body showed plainly she
had been outraged and the marks ABBOTT
her neck indicated that she had Zen
strangled to death.
The police think they have the man
who committed the crime. He was ar
rested about an hour after the girls alb
sence was noted. The police wanted him
on suspicion of burglary. They found
him in the lumber yard not 30 feet from
the clubhouse. There were blood stains
on his clothes and when questioned about
them he could give no satisfactory an
swer. When today's discovery was made
the police thought of this circumstance
Since then witnesses have been found
who will swear they saw the man and
the child together on the evening of her
disappearance and shortly before his ar
rest The man gave the name of Chas
Smith. but is also known to the police
as Higgins.
May Not BE the Man.
Butte. Mont, June l2.-Thousands of
people today visited the scene of the muir
der of little Ethel Gill and hundreds went
to the county jail to see the man who Is
suspected of it. They We're in hopes of
being able to identify Charles Smith as
the man who had been seen in various
parts of the city making indecent add
vances toward young girls and children.
None of them were able to do so, how
ever, and some of the authorities are be-
ginning to wayer a little in their faith
that they have the right man. They are
bending every effort to find the guilty
party, and most of them think Smith is
the man.
One feature of the case is that when
the little girl did not come home to sup
per and the anxious mother went to look
for her, she was attracted by the crowd
that had gathered around the officer who
arrested Smith on charge of burglary.
This was not over % feet from the out
house in which the body of the child was
found later and where it was, no doubt,
at the time.
Not realizing that she had any interest
in the arrest, the mother passed on and
continued her search
The ellis have been following the race
horses over the western circuit, both
father and mother acting as cooks.

used TO destroy them. Nothing better
than strychnine seems to have come into

Strychnine are numerous. different users

mixed with an ounce at from a gallon TO

best success mix an ounce with about four

it with a quart of table syrup stirring

into q buShel of wheat and after careful
stirring mixes enough -four to dry the

other poisons, but is as yet only an ex-

log with the sun kissing the leaves in
spots about him.
Tom lived a short distance from the
place where he sat, and he was on his
way home with a wild turkey which he
had bagged in the nearest thicket
Presently there emerged from the
bushes a boy of his own age. but not
so well dressed. He carried in the hol-
low of his arm an old gun which upon
several occasions had drawn Toms
contempt upon it, but Joe liked the
piece and Tom knew that he wss a
young marksman not TO he despised.
In another moment the boys stood
face to face, an expression of naughty

eyes. while Joe appeared friendly.

carried and produced a wood pheasant.

THE GREAT ATTRACTION.
IMPERTINENT SUGGESTION.
Recent Utterance of Bismarck Strong
ly Provoked Sagasta.

Madrid, Feb. 27.-Senor Sagasta,
commenting upon an alleged interview
with Prince Bismarck, in which the
latter is represented as suggesting that
the Cuban trouble should be submitted
to the powers for arbitration expressed
his establishment that such an idea
could emanate from Prince Bismarck,
and declared emphatically that moth
ing but ignorance of the question could
inspire the notion that Spain would
suffer foreign intrusion or submit To
arbitration in her indisputable rights of
sovereignty"
Nobody" said the Spanish premier,
would dare propose such an absurd
ity, and no Spanish government would
listen or dreameof such a proposal"
The Impartial, in an editorial today,
blames Spanish weakness in the ALI
anca, Venidito, Competitor and other
affairs as encouraging the United
States in their present bellicose atti-
tude." Il counsels the government to
awake to the reality of a situation
which the good sense of the Spanish
people understands and is ready to
meet"

WHY ARE THEY JUBILANT9.
Spaniards Feel Pleasant Over News
From Havana.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Press reports
from Madrid stated that the authorities
were jubilant over the receipt of import
ant favorable information from Hava-
no. Mr. Du Bose could shed no light
on the nature of this information. In
other quarters, however. the impression
prevailed that this information could
not refer to the Maine inquiry, but
concerned the general conduct of the
insurrection in Cuba. There have been
strong indications of late that the auto
nomist cabinet, under the leadership of
Gown, who is the recognized force of
that body, would endeavor to make
terms with the separatist wing and in
turn secure the cooperation of the in
surgents in a movement TO conclude the
war How far this is possible, is not
known here. although it has been ex-
pected that Gown would succeed in
effecting a reconciliation. There has
been added reason for this belief within
the last few days, owing to the fierce
attacks made on Gown by some of the
irreconciliable elements. He repealed
these and repudiated an alleged letter
in which he was reported to have at
tackled Premier Sagasta-
