The Black Hills mining region will be
represented at the Trans Mississippi
exposition on lavish scale, says a news
bulletin recently issued by the depart
ment of publicity, and the richest ores
OF that treasure teeming section give
ample evidence Of its yet undeveloped
gold industry. Among the mines that
will contribute to the mineral display Is
the now famous Union Hill and Hardin
properties, and the rich region lying
between them, now controlled by the
Consolidated gold fields Of the Black
Hills. The exhibit will be In charge Of
Professor L. ]. Boyd, vice dean of the

The Maine Disaster.

But little news of a reliable character
has been received since our last issue as
to the origin Of the disaster which befsll
the warship Maine on the night of the
10th inst, but notwithstan ndiDg the fact
that there have been no public declara-
tions to the effect that the calamity was
caused by design, it is nevertheless ap-
parent that that theory is now almost
universally entertained.
1t is probable that, by the time this
paper goes 10 press the investigation
now being prosecuted on the Maine
will have been completed. but it is more
than probable that the report of the
committee will not be made public for
weeks. In the meantime We can only
watch and wait, and prepare ourselves
for any emergency which may arise.

Inspected CRADLES Books.

J. T.. Leach and f. II. Talbot Of Bos-
ton, were in Omaha yesterday afternoon
en- route eastward after q weeks inves-
tigation Of various western interests
that have received more or ,ess sensa.
tional notice Of late through the connec-
ton of Francis c. Cradle with them.
They came TO Omaha about a week ago
as representatives of certain stock hold
ers in various Cradle enterprises living
IN Boston and Philadelphia principally.
though they also represented some
stockholders Of New York They said
to Bee reporter yesterday that they
represented slO0,000,OOO in capital, and
were convinced from their investiga-
tons that the Cradle interests would
come through the present ordeal all
right.
J. u. Leach said to the Bee: III came
out here on the investigation very
skeptical. shall return very enthusias-
tic. believe the enterprises that Mr..
Cradle has had in hand are all right.
and the bulk Of the eastern stock hold
ers will heartily cooperate with him in
the development; Of the various proper
ties we are interested in. | have been
going over the books of the Cradle
interests, and am thoroughly convinced
that everything is all right. That will
be the basis of my report to the eastern
stockholders whom l represent 1t is a
peculiar thing that in this sensational
attack on the interests represented by
Mr. Cradle not a single complaint or
protest against him has come from any
stockholder, but it has all arisen from
people on the outside. Omaha Bee.

one dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure ia all it's stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure IS the

fraternity. Catarrh being constitl-
tionai disease, requires Il constitutional
trea tment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the

disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and

to cure. Send for list OF testim onials.
