CANVAS PRAIRIE PRODUCE
Plans to Advertise the Re-
sources of this Section.

PIanS TO AOV0rllS0 inc re-
sources of this Section.
From Thursdays daily.
The proposition is afoot to es-
tablish an exhibit of Camas Prairie
produce in the Eastern cities. This
would prove magnificent adver-
tisement for this section. 1t is no
new idea. Santa Clara county, in
California, for instance, maintains
big decorated covered wagon,
known as "Santa Clara County On
Wheels. 1t is well stocked with
fresh and dried fruit from its sec
ton for exhibition and sale, to-
gether with descriptive pamphlets
for distribution. 1t is kept regu-
larly supplied all the year round
by the fruit-growers and farmers Of
the valley. As an advertisement
of the resources of that county il
is hard to beat. Something of the
sort is planned by business men
here. Full particulars and instruc
tions will be given later.

What a Mine Does for
Country.
lDeLamar Nugget. !


The DeLamar mines, up I'M
til the 31st of this year, begin
ming from the time they came
into possession of the present
company, in April, 1891, pro-
duced and milled 2o2,5oI dry
tons of ore, from which was
realized $o,323,ooo, out of
which So, 10000 was paid in
dividends to shareholders, be-
ing 11712 per cent of the orig,
inal capital invested, of which
$4,000 is still remaining III
the reserve fund. The amount
of money paid out for eN'
penses during the eight years
is $3,o7o,ooo.
The foregoing figures are
worth a careful consideration
in estimating the value OF a
mine to the country. More
than three million dollars taken
out of the rocks in DeLamar
mountain have been put in cir
culation in southern Idaho. "A
town of about one thousand
people has market for the pro
ducts of the ranchers in this
and adjoining counties. The
three million dollars put IN cir
culation means that much
money which has staid in the
country paying for homes pay,

Ex-senator Edmunds says
that the widely different views
held by the adherents of vari'
Gus sects and systems of belief
would make it practically i'm
possible to frame a uniform di-
vorce law by congress that
would not offend more people
than it would please and one
that would not aggravate mo-
rality. He thinks the most
potent remedy for the present
abuses in this line is the cult.
walton of the minds of children
The evil appears to have a
nest in the natures OF the PEG
pie who are forever taking ad
vantage of the loop holes of

Edmunds is not an ardent ad
vocate of congressional actor

ton.

GOV, CAGES AFTER7HOUGHT
THE GUBERNAToRIAL MESSAGE
THAT CAME TOO LATE.
Urged California Legislators to Elect
Senator, But the Joint Assembly
Had Adjourned.

Sacramento, Cal, March 19.-At 11:45
am. today the legislature of California
adjourned sine die without a United
States senator to succeed Stephen NJ.
White having been elected.
When the hour for adjournment was eX-
tended from midnight until 11:45 today at
last nights session, it was expressly IN
derstood that the senatorial matter was
settled and that the question of the cleo
ton of a senator was not 10 be brOdched
today. Nevertheless, just before IL
O'Clock, Governor Gage sent a message
to both senate and assembly, in which he
charged the legislature with having left
it's duty unperformed. In the message he
implored the members to no longer delay
but to proceed to the election of a SEN
ator at once.
The message was received with cheers
in the assembly, but Republicans as well
as Democrats stated that it came too
late. In the senate it was received and
read amid the greatest confusion. Senator
Boyce a Grant Republican, took the
floor and in an excited address moved to
lay the message upon the table. His voice
had been somewhat restored, Boyce re-
newed his motion Another motion was
made to have the message printed in the
journal, which prevailed.
AT 11:45 a m, fifteen minutes before the
hour that another ballot for United
States senator would have had to be
takeny Lieutenant Governor Neff's gavel
fell and the legislature was declared ad-
journed, after one of the longest and
most excited sessions in the history of the
state of California.

SMALLPOX RIOTS AT LAREDO
HEALTH OFFICERS RESISTED BY
ARMED MEXICANS.
United States Troops Will Aid In
Enforcing the Law-one Rioter
Shot and Many Arrested.

Laredo. Tex, March 19-The work of
removing smallpox patients to the pest
house, under the direction of State Health
officer Blunt, was begun this morning.
After ten had been removed the officers
encountered on East Matamoras street a
mob of Mexicans. who menaced them in
such a manner that the chief of police
was telephoned for. Marshal Joe Bar
thelow and Assistant Marshal Nyedar
hurried to the scene, and when they at
tempted to arrest the leaders of the dis
turbance they were assaulted with stones
and fired on.
Nyedar was knocked down and severely
beaten about the head before ne could be
rescued. One of the rioters was shot, but,
aided by his friends, managed to escape.
about twenty shots were tired, a dozen
arrests made, and the mob dispersed.
The health officers resumed their work,
but were soon met by another mob Of 800
or $50 MeXicans, many of them armed. AS
they could not contend with. this force
the health officers desisted, and DR.. Blunt
opened telegraphic communication with
Governor Savers. AS a result, he was In
structed to call on the United States mli:
tGry authorities at Mcintosh, in the name
of the governor, for such assistance as
was needed, and later he was informed
that the war department had telegraphed
authority 10 use troops. The MeXicaIs
are much excited and express contempt
for the negro United States soldiers.

Preparations have been made to leave

it there may be better relations between

SENSATIONS PROMISED.
Witnesses at st. Louis Will Talk
About the Beef.

st. Louis, March 19.-The army beef
scandal has reached st. Louis in the
shape of quiet investigation for the
purpose of obtaining what available
evidence exists for use before the war
board of inquiry. Last week Colonel
T. Darlington, one of the inspector
generals, was in the city to see a num-
Der Of prospective witnesses, with the
view of ascertaining if their testimony
would be material. 1t is unofficially
announced that. the result was more
than startling.
Inspector General Darlington paid
the city a hasty visit and proceeded to
Omaha, where he is said to be engaged
in obtaining evidence germane to the
points at issue. Friends Of General
Nelson A Miles have taken up the
work in St. Louis started by Colonel
Darlington.
Some fifteen or, twenty witnesses
have been sounded and if rumors are
true their testimony will prove highly
interesting. Most of these men are ex-
soldiers, who can testify from personal
experience as to the quality of the beef
served to their respective regiments
and companies.
