Nez Perces Lands.

Only 100 miles southeast Of the fer
tile grain fields of eastern Washington,
between the Clearwater and Salmon
rivers. lies what was long known as the
Nez Perces Indian country, only recent
ly thrown open to settlement and min
ing. Since the early sixties when
$38, 900, 900 was washed out of the rich
placers of the Clearwater and Salmon
river it has been a tradition among the
miners that some day great gold dis
coveries would be made in the Nez
Perces country. The cost of
transportation, remoteness from civili-
cation and consequent impossibility of
carrying Oh large mining operations
left the rice quartz ledges-the mother
lodes Of the placers-untouched. AL
most simultaneously with the compile
tion Of the Northern Paoifc's Lewiston
extension from Spokane, came the an
nouncement Of the discovery in the
Buffalo Hump range of immense lodges
Of gold bearing quartz which, cropping
out above the surface, and twenty feet
or more in width, extend in different
directions for many miles. The rapid
extension of the Clearwater line of the
Northern Pacific, now building along
that river from Lewiston, will soon
throw this heretofore almost inaccessi-
BILE country open to capital. and mod
ern machinery with American grit will
do the rest. For fuller information
and a new map of this region send a
2-cent stamp to Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul,
Mimi, or address any general or dis
trict passenger agent of the Northern
Pacific railway.

Poison In the Blood of the Eel.

It has been known for years that the
blood of cells contains a highly poison
Gus principle. A dog inoculated with a
dozen drops of cells blood dies in ten
minutes. This discovery was made about
ten years ago by two Italian brothers
name Mosso. The poison is readily de-
stroyed by heat and by mere lapse of
time, wherein it differs from a snake
poison, which long retains it's virulence.
Moreover, eel serum is harmless when
taken with food, it invariably succumbs
to the processes of digestion. If serum
be taken from an animal that has been
rendered immune to snake poison and
injected under the skin Of an eel, the
poisonous property Of the cells blood is
thereby impaired. Serum taken from an
eel is naturally about three times as
poisonous as the serum of the most
vicious viper.
Although diluted eel serum may pro-
tect an animal from so deadly a poison
as viper venom, the converse does not
hold good; the serum Of vipers is no
protection against the poison of cells
serum. Serum obtained from animals
gradually trained up to Withstand fatal
doses of serpent venom differs from Or
binary serum in the astonishing rapidity
of its action. Not only it's protective.
but also it's undoubted curative power
has been established. Good Words.

Manila, May 23.-Rostario. a Fill
Pine congressman, a wealthy resident
of Manila, and formerly Aguinaldo's
commissary general, accompanied by
an insurgent captain, called upon Cen

"We desire to surrender our persons
and property into the hands Of the

ranged by Chaplain Pierce of the Four
teenth regiment, who knew Rostario
before the war.
According to the story told by Roas-
tario, General Luna is absolute dictator
and Aguinaldo fears him. Every Fill
Pine leader, it is added, suspects the
others Of treachery. The recent meet
ing Of the Filipino congress was to Sc
cure a new cabinet and the question of
peace was not formally considered as
the members feared Luna's displeasure.

MAY PASS THROUGH MONTANA.
Not Unlikely That Returning Volunteers
Will Land on Puget Sound.

wv :"
Will Land on Puget Sound.
There is said to be considerable like,
lihood of the volunteers that return
from Manila being landed at Puge,
Sound-Seattle and Tacoma-instea6
of San Francisco. and sent home via
the northern routes. If this is done the
volunteers from Minnesota, Kansas,
Nebraska and other states east OF here
would pass through this state on the
Northern Pacific or Great Northern
railroads. Should the Kansas and Ne.
braska regiments come through Mon
tana they will in all probability trans
fer to the Burlington in Billings. 1t is
zens of this state will give the gallant
commands a royal reception. The for
mer regiment has fought side by side
with the boys of this state.
The st. Paul Dispatch prints the fol.
lowing Washington special in regard to
the return of the volunteers this way
urgent requests have been received
from Washington, Oregon and Montana
to bring the volunteer regiments from
tII6S6 StdteS, ulSO luc Mluu6SOCd anu
North and South Dakota regiments in
the Philippines, home by way of the
Puget Sound gateway, thence by the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways to their respective state rem
devious, where the troops were mus
tered into the service. The war de-
partment is considering the matter.
The Puget Sound route is shorter by
several hundred miles both by land and
water, than the San Francisco Union
Pacific route. Hence there is a rroba-
bility that the Minnesota regiment will
not touch at San Francisco. but return
by one of the transcontinental lines
having a terminus in st. Paul. Adju-
tant General Corbin when asked today
for something definite as to the time of
embarking the Minnesota men from
Manila, told Congressman Fletcher
that he expected the first landing of
volunteers in San Francisco June 30.
If General Otis is able to carry out the
present programme, the Minnesota boys
should be able to land a week later.
