staples World: a private letter re-
ceited from a ]. I,epper, formerly an
engineer on the Mort bern Pacific at
this place but now Of Spokane,
Wash, says, among others things:
We are doing very we'll and like

and always said that il e ever left
thereI would never stop. until I rot

everything suits allright. Wages are
low in this city, because people flock
here from all the United States. Lily:
ing is high, as. the demand, on
account Of the mines, is greater than
the supply Of farm products. Po-
tatoes werenot agood crop this year
and raised from Is cents per hundred
pounds in October to $1.25 Der hun
dred now: EVERYTHING is sold here by
the pound except eggs, and believe
they ought to be. :.
This is ahead of Michigan for sales.
1t is the country for large apples,
pears ana peaches and all yegeta bles.
The state raises more bushels OF
wheat to the acre than any state in
the Union.
The weather has been fine this fall
and we could wonder and laugh at
the snow storms in the eastern stat ties.
In the latter part of November it
rained, then showed some aud thawed
off, showed again, and so on,
till about the 4th OF December, when
it froze solid. We expect to have
about six oreight weeks OF winter and
then spring will open up again. And
such beautiful days we are having
now to eDj Joy cutter ride! But we
can't afford the cutter. Hay is high
here always. At some OF the mines
it is as high as $40 ton.

shocking tragedy in which Mrs. Will

speaks better for the present commo.

for his acquiescence in discipline. He
was summoned n morning by the
great naval hero of his day, who pre-
faced his order by asking schley If he
saw that Confederate fort. OF course
Schley saw 1t, for the fort was one Of
the most conspicuous and most studied
objects within the whole range of
vision.
Go knock it to pieces" was Farra-
quits terse and comprehensive com.

Schley was making the dirt and
stones fly as per order, when his quar-.

stating that the admiral had signaled
to stop firing and return to the fleet

with a look that innocence could no,

there was another installment Of the

Where She Had Fallen.

Mrs. Ellen Mcmahon, aged II years
dropped dead some time yesterday
morning at her home. at 1928 Jefferson
street. The old lady had been living
with n of her sons. but he was away
at the time. Mrs. Mcmahon for sew
eral years had been suffering from
dropsy of the heart. The position of
h body when found indicated that
she died while in the midst of her morn
ing work. A broom was lying by her
side. and she had evidently been en-
gagged in sweeping when the fatal at
tack seized her.

doors from Mrs. McMahon's house. dis
covered the front door Of the latter
standing open at S:15 O'Clock, and look
ing in saw the old lady lying on the
floor. She had evidently beer dead for
some time. as the body was cold. Mrs.
Nellie Weyhe. daughter OF the dead
woman. who lived a few blocks away
at 501 Kemper avenue, was notified, and
arrived o after the body had been dis
covered. Death was not unexpected. as
a doctor a warned them that Il would
come in the way IL did. Acting Cor
oner Laurandeau held an inquest last
evening. and the facts stated were
brought out in the evidence. A YER
diet was returned in accordance with
them.
