LONGEST KNOWN.
The Lensthy Sentence That wss
Pronounced Upon an Ital.
ian swtnaler.

The tribunal Of Modica, in the sicilian
province of Syracuse, has just pro-
nounced sentence which is declared
to have no parallel in the Judicial an
pals Of Italy, as It has probably few In
those Of any other country. A man
named Lupo Salvatore. OF Comiso, had
passed himself of as an advocate, and
had with consummatc skill committed
SO different acts of serious fraud in
which he succeeded in using the ma
chinery of the law. He had forged tho
signatures Of the president and Judges
OF the high court, Of the kings procur-
ator, and Of the chancellor of the court,
From this aforementioned official he had
even. with splendid audacity, stolen for
short time the seal Of the chancery,
which he needed to give effect to his
fraudulent documents. The sentenceis
even more remarkable than the crimes.
Salvatore was condemned to three
years imprisonment on each of the 90
cases, which brings the total of the sem
tence to 1879 years, though the longest
incarceration which the convict can be
legally made to undergo is 80 years.
The penalty inflicted is in each case the
minimum for the offense. Had the
sopFtdecidedupon the maximum, which
is ten years, the aggregate term Of inn
prlsonment would have been $50 years.

an iota of anything narcotic In it. The
relief 1t gives is permanent. In this 1t
differs from many preparations which
give temporary relief only by deadening
the sense Of feeling with narcotics, and
the dangerous sti,nulauts they contain
create an appetite for strong drink.

In curious contrast with che pro-

Of Russia comes the publication OF .
pamphlet, "The War Of the Future In
the Year 49," the vision Of Russian
pats4ot, which was received with tho
greatest interest In Russia proper aud
was translated into French and German
t,nmsdiately after its appearance In
Russia, says tho Boston Herald, The
story describes war Of Russia against
Great Britain, Italy, etc, starting from
the supposition that Russia possesses
naval port In the Arctic ocean not far
from the North cape aud much
stronger feet than now.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 30, 1885,
The first three days Of the week were
slightly cooler than usual, and gener-
ally fair. The last three days brought
much higher temperature and showery
conditions, which developed severe
storms OF rain, hail and wind in num-
erous localities on the 9th and 28th.
Copsiderable local damage resulted
from EFFECTS of hail and floods. The
corn and wheat district reports receiv-
ed by wire show the following excess
sive amounts of rainfall at the stations
named:
Cedar Rapids, 487 inches: Clinton
35; Hampton, 392; Ogden, g. 90; Wat
erloo, $40; Marsh alltown, A 81; Forest
City, IS; Iowa City, 265.
The heaviest storms of the week
swept through the central and north
ern sections of the state.
Some progress has been made In
planting corn in districts where the
soil Was sufficiently dry. In consider.
able portions of the northern section
the work is practically completed,
though some will need replanting. For
the state at large it is estimated that
about three-fourths of the corn area
has been planted, but the condition of
the stand secured in the early planted
fields will necessitate more than the
usual amount of replanting. Under
existing conditions it is probable that
planting operations will not be CON-
pleted in all districts before June 10th
Experience in past years proves that
with the soil IN good filth, and with
thorough cultivation, fair output OF
corn may be secured FROM good seed
planted at that date.
Grass and grain crops are generally
doing very we'll.

FRAUDULENT cuRIos,
a Bona Eide Collection OF Any ne.
scrtption L. Now Hard to
Obtain.

The hunter OF curios needs careful
training If he is to build up bona fide
collection. This is not so easy as it
seems, for the imitation of curios has
been brought to an art of itself. There
are certain factories in Europe in which
oil kinds of works of art that are likely
to interest the collector are manufac.
tured. The stamping Of China with old
marks, the treating Of arms and armor
with acids to make them look ancient,
The staining of carved worries with oil
to make them yellow, and their sub
lection to heat to make them crack, arc
all 20 cfeverly done a. often to deceive
the expert. Tho man who 10 engaged
to drill holes in imitation Of worm
holes In pieces of furniture is almost
an artist, and In Hungary there is fac
tory where fairly passable imitation
OF Dresden china is made. Science has
been enlisted to carry out one of the
most profitable branches Of this fading
OF cur1os. There has lately been dis
covered a disease which eats away
bronze and gives 1t an appearance Of
antiquity. All old metallic objects in
which copper and certain alloys has
been used, are liable to be attacked by
this correcting affection. Skilled fab
riuetors Of antiquities are known to In
ocuate their reprodActsans with spots
Of bronze disease. Many amateurs HAZE

is the chance for the forgers, and infhe

Dead Again.

Our republican friends have killed
VIM. j. Bryan 80 often (n their minds)
that it really seems cruel in them to
continue killing him SO often. A few
days ago, although dead, according to
their statement, he stood before ten
thousand people in St. Louis and in
part said:
"The purpose of the trusts is to con-
troll the product of some article of
merchandise, and the methods en-
ployed are, first, the union Of all indi-
vidual factories, and, second, the crush
ing out of new rivals A monopoly,
when once complete, not only dictates
but it also dictates terms to those who
sell the raw material, and to those who
furnish the labor. If the trusts are
permitted to continue, we shall find an
industrial aristocracy growing up In
the United States which will prove as
destructive of our Ideals as q landed
aristocracy would"
Then Belmont, of New York, had
the temerity to stand up before that
llOoU VI UlO NOuuOSLoSyS oA0 1AVuOuSA
knowing that VIM. j. Bryan is en-
phatically dead. according to report,
made this, as closing remark of his
strong speech:
"The time is too short to elaborate
the many questions which are interest,"
ing the people at large today, and l
will not attempt it. But even with all
our advantages no victory will be won
without harmony. And on the subject
of harm ony, speaking for New York
alone. if you give us Bryan for Gan:
didate and Smash the Trusts for a
war cry, the Empire state democracy,
moving as unit. will sweep the
country"
After this demonstration, we must
conclude that Bryan is not dead, as
the republicans suppose, but is a
mighty power in the land, and will
demonstrate the fact that he is aliving
statesman with more personal popu-
larity than any living man in the
United States today. He is neither
dead nor Sleeping.

STREET PAVING.
DUGAN WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO
ENJOIN KINDS.

Ex-Mayor Dugan does not propose to
put any legal barrier in the way of T.. r.
Kinds, to whom was awarded the con-
tract for about 5000 worth of street
paving a short tim ago by the city coun-
ell. Dugan submitted a bid after the
hour stipulated in the call for bids, and
for this reason the aldermen held that
they had no right to consider Dugan's
bid, and it was returned to him unopened.
The contract was then awarded to Kinds.
Dugan claimed that his bid was much
lower tina that of the successful bidder,
and gave notice to the council that he
proposed to enjoin Kinds from carrying
out the contract.
But since Mr.. Dugan made this state
ment he has changed his mind. He so in
formed an Inter Mountain reporter today,
and Mr.. Kinds is at liberty to commence
he work without fear Of molestation
from Dugan.
The work of paving under Mr.. Kinds
contract should have begun today, but
the commencement has been delayed by
the fact that the curbing is complete for
only one block, and there should be more
tina two blocks curbed before the work
of preparing for the pavement is COM
menced. A few days will suffice for the
completion of enough curbing to justify
the commencement of paving.

SWELL WEDDING BROKEN OFF.

During the summer of the year 1870
the staunch air yacht Cleopatra tugged
at its mornings on the grounds that sur
rounded the residence of a wealthy pork
magnate, situated on the Lake Shore
drive in Chicago.
From the interior of the mansion ever
and anon came the rining click of cham
payne goblets as the guests quaffed the
wine and drank to the health of the
young couple soon to be made man and
wife.
Suddenly a man with gray whiskers
appeared pom the pOrtico and scanned
the horizon.
The weather indications appeared sat
isfactory. and. turning about, he waved
his hand to the leader of the orchestra.
In response to the leaders, baton the
strains Of Mendel-Gohn's wedding march
floated forth, and in a moment the we'd
ding party issued from the house. AS
stairs leading to the deck of the air yacht
the bride drew back with a shrill scream:
II have thought of something. my
father!" she shrieked, THANK Heaven, it
Is not yet too late!"
What is it. Hortense?" asked the
groom, rushing to her side.
"S6mething that concerns my whole
existence" she cried, in a hysterical
tanner. 1T is this: When I, H~ortense
McGuffey, agreed to marry you, Alex
ander Comsever, on ar air yacht, l lost
sight of the fact that l, a Chicago girl,

CURIOUS PARTNERSHIP.

OF late years naturalists have become
acquainted with numerous examples OF
animal partnerships. In one of the
Chicken islands, off the New Zealand
coast, a curious lizard known as the
tuatara and certain species of petrels
were found i%nhabiting the same burrows
apparently on the best Of terms. AS a
rule the lizard is the e~xcavator.
The lizard feeds partly on worms, and
partly on the remnants of fish brought
to the common table by the p%etrels, both
animals being thus benefited by the part
nership.
A feeble fish called the remora owe
it's success in life to the powerful alli-
ances it forms. One of it's fins has been
transformed into a sucker placed right
on the top of it's head. by means of which
it attaches itself firmly to any passing
shark, whale or even ship. BY these it
is transported without any exertion on
it's W part owe great distances. Sew
eral small fishes have been found, also,
to habitually lodge in the mouth cavity
of a Brazilian catfish, sharing such food
as the latter succeeds in capturing.

Encouraging News of the Min
ing Industry.
THE OUTLOOK is GOOD
Rod D, Leggatt's New Purchase in
Idaho-The Madison County
Mines.

From every part of the west come re-
ports Of new strikes in old mines, and
new discoveries in districts hitherto UNI
productive. Improvements in mining
machinery are continually making posi-
BILE the treatment of lower grade ores.
In the process world a good deal of prog
ress has been made, but the greatest
progress has been made in educating the
public mind to the fact that the secret
process is a dangerous thing to fool with.
There are a few people left-people too
wise to be able to gain any instruction
from tine technical mining press-who
continue to be humbugged and to hum
bug their friends by putting up costly
plants to operate a secret process, usually
designed to extract values from the
pocket of the investors rather thar from
ores.
And even this costly experience is add
ing to the general progress. The smelter
trouble will soon be a thing of the past.
The mineral production of the Rocky
mountain states will be much greater this
year than ever before. The development
of new mining fields will be greater thar
ever before. More progress will be made
looking to the production of metals here
tofore overlooked or neglected tina yer
before. More progress is now being made
In the application of old but scientific
principles to the economical extraction
and recovery of mineral values than ever
before. More progress is being made in
the economic application of mechanical
means for crushing and handling ore thar
ever before-improvement is the order of
the day in every line. The best brains,
the most exact skill, the most persistent
efforts are o preparing the plans by
which the commercial supremacy of the
west will be established.
The brightest page in the history of the
mining states of the west is now being
written.

POLICE COURT.

Mrs. Peter Dempsey was in police court
TINS morning, n in her condition she
would have made an excellent horrible
example for the alcoholic expert who is
now testifying in the Larkin case. She
locke little like the bride Of three or
TOUR months ago. Her face was bloated,
and the eyes that sparkled with indigna-
ton some time ago at the published ac-
count of her marriage, are now dimmed
with the afterblear of debauchery. She
was arrested several days ago on a charge
OF disturbance, the result of one of the
frequent encounters between herself and
ner husband. The husband was SEN
tenced to 80 days in the county Jail by
Judge Nichol yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Dempsey entered a plea of guilty and
begged to be allowed to leave the city.
She said she had a home in the Occur
d'Alenes. where she could 60 and reform,
but Judge Sullivan was obdurate. He
reminded Mrs. Dempsey of the numerous
times she and her husband had been in
his court. and sale it would not be right
to foist her on some other community.
He sentenced her to 30 days in the county
Jail.
