HUMANE BRANDING.
Done With Electricity On the Backs
of Female Seals.

New York. Feb. 24.-The Electrical
Review, which published today the first
authentic account of branding fur seals
by electricity to prevent the destruction
of the female seals. The article is writ
ten by Elmer E. Farmer, of Leland
Stanford Jr. University, who accom-
panied the United States fur seal COM
mission to the Pribiloff Islands last
August when the experiment was tried
under the auspices of the government.
The electrical apparatus consists of a
small dynamo operated by a gasoline
engine and a branding cautery similar
to that used by physicians. The young
female seals were marked by drawing
the hot platinum cautery across the
back. which resulted in destroying the
fur and fur cells, so that even if the
seals were afterwards killed the COM
mercial value of the fur would be de-
stroyed.
DIR. David Starr Jordan, of Leland
Stanford Jr. University was in charge
of the experiment and he states that
the electrical method of branding is
comparatively painless and even more
effective than branding by means of hot
irons. 1t is probable that the expert
ments will be carried to a further ex-
tent by means of improved electrical
apparatus.

THEY MADE UP.
MI. and Mrs. Gemmeli Settle Their
Marital Differences.

The divorce suit brought by Janet P.
Gemmell against William Gemmell,
which was filed in the Third district
court on Wednesday, proved but a
short-lived affair, Notwithstanding
that the allegations of Mrs. Gemmell
were serious and somewhat sensational
also. She alleged that her husband
was in the habit of beating and abus-
ing her and calling her vile names, and,
moreover, that when he married her he
had a wife living and undivorced;
hence the allegation was tantamOunt
to a charge of bigamy.
1t appears that few hours after
the suit was filed. Mr.. and Mrs. Gem
nell met at the office of Messrs. Sheck-
ell and Margetts, the attorneys for
Mrs. GemmelI. There they had a pri-
vate interview, after which they an
nounced that they had made up their
differences; that the whole proceeding
was a mistake, and Mrs. Gemmell re-
quested that the suit be dismissed, and
that the restraining order preventing
her husband from dispoSing of his
property be dissolved. She paid up the
costs and the attorney fees as far as
they had accrued, and yesterday, on
motion of Attorney Margetts, the suit
was dismissed

that the representations of the furni-
ture company as to its assets, liabili-
ties and financial condition were false
and fraudulent The trial court found

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND
PERMANENTLY CURED.
A New Discovery, But Not Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the
new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back. shoulder
blades and limbs. fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected. caus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessnesS at
night.
1 gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies. but to no purpose As
an experiment 1 finally bought a fifty
cent package of Stuart'S Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured
There was no more acidity or sour
watery rising, no bloating after meals.
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and II pounds in
weight OF solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores.
yet l consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians line of rem
edies. as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or inva-
lids or in any condition of the stomach
with perfect safety. being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden
Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliOusneSs, constipation and all
arrangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists everywhere at fifty cents
for full sized package.

ON BIG HOLE RIVER.
Daily and Haggin Will Build a Town
and Smelter

One of the most interesting stories
told in mining circles during the past
few days, says the Butte Miner, is the
reported change of the plans of the
Washoe company, owned mainly by
Marcus DAILY and ]. B. Haggin. 1t is
known that these gentlemen contem-
plated building a smelter a few miles
above Anaconda in which to treat the
ores from the Poulin, Moonlight and
other mines of the WaShOe company in
Butte, and the ores from Camp Creek,
also owned by the Washoe Copper COM
pany. The water rights where the new
smelter was to have been constructed,
however, are in dispute, and although
several thousand acres of land have
been purchased and a good deal of
money spent in surveys, it is now posi-
lively stated that no smelter will ever
be built at that point. For some time
past parties who are said to represent
the Washoe company have been quietly
acquiring title to land on the Big Hole
river, below the dam of the Montana
of land. with all the adjoining water
rights, now stand in the name of the
person who represents the -Haggin
corporation. A new townsite, on the
same plan on which Anaconda was
built, will spring up on the Big Hole,
ABOUT where Camp creek emptieS its
waters into the larger stream. A big
smelling plant will be constructed at
this point, and the ores from the Butte
and Camp Creek properties of the Wa
shoe company will be hauled in part at
least, on new line of railway to be
built by the Copper company. The
name of the new Montana city will be
Washoe. One branch of the new road
will run, so it is stated, from the Camp
Creek mines down to the smelter on the
Big Hole and the line may be extend
ed up and down the valley along the
banks of the Big Hole.
The Camp Creek copper mines are
rather an unknown quantity as far as
can be learned, but it is said that there
is some good high grade copper ore on
the dumps, and that development work
has so far been very satisfactory. A
great deal of water has been encounter
ed, but at one time some powerful
pumping machinery was ordered which
would have kept the mines dry, had
it ever been put in place. Thirteen
cars of this machinery was ordered
some time ago, and when it arriv-
ed at Dillon it was taken from the
cars and put in a warehouse, where it
now stands. at the disposal of the Wa
shoe company.

A Nominal Victoru-

The case of the F. E. Warren Mer-
camille company VS.. F. E. Sharp
reached the jury about noon yester-
day and verdict for the plaintiff that
it is the owner of the piano and en-
titled to it's possession, or $3.50 if the
instrument cannot be had, was re-
turned.
The plaintiff sued to recover the pos
session of a piano, or its value, $500.
Sharp bought the piano on the INSTALL
ment plan for price of $3.50, and after
paying several hundred dollars on ac-
count. failed in the balance of the pay
ments, but alleged that a new contract
was made by which he was to have
further time. He acknowledged to
owing a balance of about $3.50, which
ne was willing to pay. Mr.. H. c. Ed
wards was the attorney for the plain
tiff, and Mr.. Fred E. McGurrin for

MOTION TO STRIKE OUT
The Kenyon Clause In the Answer to
Pratt's Petition.

Messrs. Powers, Straup and Lipp-
man, counsel for Arthur Pratt in the
petition for writ of mandate to COM
pei City Auditor Swan to issue him a
warrant for five months salary as
chief of police, have filed motion to
strike out that portion of the defend
ants answer which set up, upon in
formation and belief, that S. j. Ken
yon, one of the members of the board
of police and fire commissioners, was
acting in the interest of Pratt, and
that it was at Pratt's solicitation and
request that Kenyon refused to sit in
the cause, and that it was done for
the purpose of preventing an investi-
cation of the charges against Pratt,
and that but for the action of Kenyon
a conclusion would have been reached
long before Jan. /, 1898.
The motion to strike out is based on
the allegation that the portion objected
to is immaterial, irrelevant, untrue and
states no cause of defense.
A motion for judgment on the plead
ings was also filed by Pratt's counsel,
and also a demurrer to the answer, on
the ground that it does not state facts
sufficient to constitute a defense.

Herald that work is progressing finely
in the development of the Overland. and
that drift No. ?, being driven north on
the strike of the vein, is now in a dis

shape, while the ore values are hold
ing their own in a most pleasing man
ner.
Good progress is also being made in
the sinking of the Wine from drift No.
2 to No. 3. and is now down depth of
80 feet, the workings proving the con-
tinuity and permanence of the mineral
deposits.
The mine, at the present time, is
proving up beyond the most sanguine
expectations of the company, and
Sherman is well pleased over the out
look.

A Promising Gold Property Located
In Logan Canyon.


Logan, Feb. 24.-One of the owners
Of the Horseshoe mining claim was in
town yesterday, and he gives a very
1attering report of the recent develop
ments on that clam. The Horseshoe is
located in Logan canyon, about two
miles from here. and is owned mainly
by Salt Lake people. Two men have
been kept at work on the claim all win
ter, and two shafts have been sunk to
q depth of about 60 feet. Work has
been abandoned of late in the lower
shaft because of the water there. 1t
will be resumed. however, as soon as
spring fairly opens, when two more men
will be put on. A sample of Horseshoe
ore recently assayed showed S124 to the
ton, the greater part of this value being
in gold. Mr.. Anderson, one of the own
ers, stated to your correspondent yes
terday that a fair offer for the claim
had recently been made by some Salt
Lake parties, but that they had con-
cluded to do some more development
work before making any sales.
