DIR. SALMON DOUBTS IT.
Doesn't Believe Grafton's DiseaseWas
Contracted From Cattle.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Dr. Salmon,
the chief of the bureau of animal indus
try of the agricultural department, to-
day expressed grave doubts as to the
probability of the death of George
Grafton, government inspector at the
Chicago stockyards, having occurred
from lumpy jaw. There have been cases
reported in which it was said human
beings contracted the disease from ami
mails. but DR.. Salmon says none has
come under his direct observation or Of
persons in the government service. The
disease is the result of a fungus growth
on grass and grains, and may be con-
tracted by persons who pick them and
chew them. Even if Grafton died from
lumpy Jaw DR.. Salmon does not believe
it was contracted from the animals
whose slaughter he supervised.

New Monitors Will Not Be Built Ac-

Washington, Nov 24-The board of
naval bureau chiefs has been obliged to
abandon the proposed enlargement of
the four monitors recently contracted

A number Of my friends in Ohio, Mich

greatly benefited by discarding coffee
and using Postum. I have known cases
where people dislil1ed the taste Of Pos

that it is because they did not allow it
to boil long enough, and I know that
this is always true in such cases. No

MISSOURI PACIFIC TO EXTEND
Central Branch Will Be Built to Den
yer. Tt is Said.

Atchison, Nov. PA well defined ru-
NOR is out that the Missouri Pacific will
shortly extend the Central Branch to
Denver.

miles, and that it would at once ac-
quire the fast mail contract. In support
of the theory, the fact that all the
bridges on the Central Branch are be
ing replaced with stone culverts, and
that the track is being greatly improv-
ed is cited. The Missouri Pacific has q
line to Pueblo already, but it is run
through an unproductive country, and
is so long that it gets practically no
Colorado passenger business. This lire
is not being improved, and it is pre-
dicted that by next fall trains will be
running through to Denver by way Of
Atchison. Waterville, Downs and Stock

YELLOW MAN LEFT OUT.
Cannot Become a Citizen of Hawaii
Under the Proposed Government.

Under the Proposed Government.
Washington, Nov 24.-The commits
sion appointed by the president to
recommend a form of government for
the Hawaiian islands as a part of the
United States met in Senator Column
room at the capitol yesterday for the
first time since leaving Honolulu, Sen
atOrs CoIlum and Morgan, Representa-
tive Hit and Judge Frear being pres
ent.
The meeting was devoted to discussing
details of the bill and the report which
the commission will present to congress,
which had not been fully decided upon
at the last meeting. The legislation
which will be recommended by the COM
mission will be included in a bill which
to all intents and purposes will be an
enabling act and very much like the
bills providing for the admission of new
states into the union, except the one i'm
portant detail that it provides for the
admission of a territory and not
probably will be amended somewhat in
detail The report has not been COM
pleted, but the commission has decided
upon Its important FEATURES one OF
these is a recommendation that the sys-
tenn of importing laborers under con-
tract shall be discontinued.
The commissioners have concluded
that as the system is contrary to the
laws applying to this country as
whole. it would not be wise to continue
it even temporarily in Hawaii. 1t is
the members of the commission do nos
accept the theory that Americans and
Europeans cannot do manual labor in
the islands.
The commission will recommend
regular territorial form of government,
with a governor, a delegate in congress
and a legislature. The legislature will
be elected by the qualified voters of
the islands but there will be property
and educational qualifications imposed
upon those who vote for members OF
the upper house of the legislature. The
franchise will not be extended to the
japanese or Chinese in the islands, but
the Portuguese who become citizens
will not be excluded under the restric-
tons imposed. The commission will
present full details of the value of the
property acquired, the income of the
tariff taxes and other important facts
bearing upon the government of the is
lands. They estimate that the proper
ty secured to the United States will
amount to more than $4,000, 900. The
public lands alone are believed to be
worth about $4,000 000
The report will be presented to con-
gress soon after it convenes.

THEY HAVE TROUBLES.
Young Mr.. and Mrs. Gooch viii Air
Them in Police Court.

John and Mrs. Gooch. the youthful
couple whose welded bliss came To an
abrupt end i'm less than month after
their marriage, are in more trouble. In
the early part of the week young
Gooch, who is only % years old. re-
lated sorry tale of his wife's deser-
ton to Chief Mulholland. Subsequent
ly he found her, and il was supposed
they had become reconciled. but last
evening they were both taken to the
city Jail, the husband under charge
of threatening TO kill his girl bride and
the wife for detention until the case
could be investigated. II appears that
Gooch had reason to suspect his wife
of intidelity from facts which came to
his knowledge while he was looking
for her in the early part ot the week,
but he forgaVe her and they made up.
1t was arranged that she should re-
main in the city while he went To An
aconda in pursuit OF his vocation of
junk dealer. Yesterday he returned
and early last evening learned that his
wife was at a lodging house in Arizona
street and went to look for her. He
found her in room lying down, with
two other women and "A man present
His jealousy was aroused and hot
words ensued. He ordered his wife TO
get up and so with him. and ii is al
legged he struck her as soon as they
We're outside and threatened to kill her.
An officer was called and both We're
taken To the jail.
The girl wife cannot be more than is
and is good appearing young woman.
She told pitiful story of how she had
been compelled to work out from girl
hool while her earnings were absorbed
by her family. and she finally married
Gooch To get home. She soon found
she could not live with him for reasons
which could not be stated and left him.
She said she only made up with him
when he came TO Butte in search Of her
because she was afraid of him. She
denied the truth of the charges of inn
proper conduct imputed TO her by her
husband.
Gooch denies that he has threatened
his wife as charged. and says the whole
trouble between himself and wife is
due to the efforts of the people he found

will be aired in court.

Musical Instrument Agents Trade
Thriyes While on Certain Boats.

lnFiNts On
From the New York Sun.
From single venture five years ago,
small stores or booths for the sale of mu-
steal instruments have become regular
thing on the large liners that sail from
England to India. Australia and the col
onieS.
From the beginning the music shop
was quite a success. Perhaps most of its
trade runs in the direction of cheap BAN
jos, which are bought up by almost ey-
cry man on board before the voyage as
a means of passing the time Valuable
Violins are often more easily disposed
of at sea than on shore. while even pi-
amos meet with AT least four or five Gus
toners each voyage many people dis
posing of their own instruments before
starting and being readily persuaded into
buying others to avoid the colonial mid
dleman on landing.
The seabound music shop agent usu-
ally travels first class, and as he is gem
orally possessed of gentlemanly manners
and a glib tongue he meets with better
opportunities for pushing his wares than
he would get under ordinary circum-
stances.
