Party of Engineers In This state.
BOISE, July p. A most remarkable
discovery has been made by party of
engineers, sent out in the interest
Of the proposed Idaho Midland rail-
road. Near the Boise Blaine county
line they camped on lake, in which
they bathed. One of the more venture
some OF the party swan out consider
able distance, when he encountered a
current OF very warm water. The
party built a, raft and went out to
investigate. They discovered that a
body OF hot water was being belched
up in the middle of the lake. They
let down a rope over $50 feet long with
rock tied TO the end, and it did not
touch bottom.
Outside the hot water area the
depth Of the lake is about twenty-five
feet. and the water is moderately cold
near the heated circumference. but
almost too Geld to battle in near the
shores. When the rock was pulled I'D
1t was found IN be too hot to lay hands
on. A thermometer was then sent
down attached to the rock. and it
showed temperature of over 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
The lake is believed to he over a
crater of red-hot rocks. A more ex-
tended investigation IL to be made as
soon as possible.

The fourth treaty for reciprocity
with British colonies was this week
signed by representatives Of the
United States and Great Britain.
They provide for trade reciprocity
with Barbados, Bermuda, British
Guiana and Jamaica. The. text Of
none Of these treaties will be made
public until they have been acted up
on by congress, the Dingley law, UNI
der which they were negotiated, re-
quiring that they shall be approved
by the house, as well as the senate, be-
fore becoming effective. The time
within which reciprocity treaties UNI
der the Dingley law could he negoti-
ated expired last week, but that will
not prevent a resumption and compile

treaties with France and Germany,
which were begun sometime ago, but

authority Of the president enables him
to negotiate commercial treaties at
any time.

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS
Filed by Attorney M. A. Austin of
 the Iron Mountain Road.

Attorney M. A. Austin, of this city, made visit to Arkansas City recently. Mr. Austin is attorney for the Iron Mountain railroad and the object of his visit was to file injunction proceedings in the chan cery court at that place restraining the sheriff of Chicot county from selling the property of the railroad company for delinquent levee taxes. This includes the taxes for the year of 1899. and several years back taxes extended against the com pany's property, that by oversight, or some other canse, was never extended until the year of 1895. This is a suit that has aroused con- siderable interest, there being about $15, 900 involved, that will go into the leyee treasury if the leyee board wins the fight.

They were en route to Hot Springs, where they will play two-weeks stand MT. Krouss said 'sit is a shame that 8 town the size of Pine Bluff has no playhouse, and in our opinion he is right. 'Do you know, :" said Mir. Krouss, "that the theatri- cal world consider Pine Bluff the best town in the state, barring none Why, regret to have to pass through here without a stop, as l have been playing this town annual ly for several years and met with success on each visit. Pine Bluff, I believe, has the men, if they will just push the work they could have one of the prettiest theaters in the South" And just as MT. Krouss completed the ton, the train pulled out and he jumped aboard.
 Pine Blufians are we'll acquainted with MT, Otto Krouss and everyone will doubtless agree with him when he says "Pine Bluff has the men" and they have the energy, if they would only use it, Is needless to say they would meet with success in the erection of a handsome theater.

Hndson Hit Hard.

Hudson, Wis, June 12.-One of the most terrific cyclones ever wit messed by the citizens of Hudson passed through the country here at 5:30 this afternoon. It formed in waterspout four miles south of Hudson, on Lake St. Croix. It was witnessed by hundreds of people, and seemed to follow the lake and to be making directly for the city, but about two miles south it veered to the east and left the lake and cross. ed the country. It was about twenty rods wide, and destroyed everything in its track. Much farm property was destroyed and a great deal of live stock was drowned.
 On the farm of H. s. Mattison not a building, wagon, tree or piece of machinery is left whole. The house was swept from it's foundation and nothing remained but the floor, which covered the cellar. in which the family had sought refuge.
 Telegraph and telephone wires are all down and adjoining towns can not be heard from.
