A New PnrfrnIt of Christ.

A Frenchman named Boyer d Agen,
who is the author Of work on Lourdes,
discovered a curious bronze medal
among a number of old coins for sale
in curiosity shop at Rome. He bought
it for 10 centimes because he thought
he discovered on it Hebrew characters
dating back to the primitive times OF
the Christian era. On close examination
il has been declared that IL bears the
effigy of Jesus.
The portrait is profile, with the
head slightly inclined forward The
forehead Is high, the nose rather long,
slightly pointed at the tip. the mus
taches are slightly marked, and the
beard is pointed. AS for the hair, 1t is
long and curly. The physiognomy. tax

but it is extremely fascinating.
On returning TO Paris with his pur-
chase NJ. Boyer d'Agen showed the
medal to numerous numismatists, who
pronounced it TO be at least Of the
greatest antiquity, though Of course, il
would have been too much 10 expect
they should guarantee its authenticity.
The Hebrew inscription it bears on the
reverse translated into English is "The
Messiah, the King, will come in peace.
He is the light of men, incarnate and
living"

Sending mail TO the White House in

Presidents eyes is proceeding that does
not do the interested person any good. An

The President never sees the papers. They
are promptly forwarded to the Postoffiee

they are looked over by all assistant, pos

Deputies, Negroes and White Miners
Mix Up in Fatal Battle.
A riot occurred at Pana H., Monday
between deputies, negroes and white min
ers. One white miner and another man
were killed and several other persons in
jured. The trouble, according to press
dispatch, was precipitated by drunken
colored miner, who shot another miner
and then ran wildly through the streets
discharging his revolver in all directions.
Leading up TO the days outbreak was
an intensely exciting night. One hundred
deputy sheriffs were called into the Floe-
ham and Penwell mining districts to pro-
tect several families of negroes, who were
endeayoring to load their household effects
preparatory to leaving for Iowa and were
being prevented by negro guards armed
with rifles. The armed men claimed
goods the negroes were moving were COM
pany property. The deputies guarded the
negroes while they loaded their goods in
wagons, conveyed them to railroad cars,
and packed them for shipment
The negroes, their wives and children,
were then m ched to Union Miners hall,
where they We're fed and cared for by
white union miners and given ample pro-
lection by guard of fifty deputy sheriffs,
u being feared that negroes who did not
wish them to leave Pana would interfere
and attempt forcibly to prevent their de-
parture.
During the night, while deputies were
guarding the negroes in the Penwell dis
trict. they were fired upon by unknown
persons, supposed to have been negroes
and private guards at the Penwell mine,
and fully 200 shots were exchanged. The
hring greatly terrorized the residents Of
that section of the city, who appealed to
Chief Deputy Cheney for protection.
Deputy Cheney thereupon sent a special
detail Of deputies armed with Springfield
rifles, who patrolled all streets and soon
succeeded in restoring quiet. Several ne
groes were arrested. charged with incit-
ing riot. One hundred and fifty negroes

He had been living a quiet life at his
home since quitting the bench Dec. 4,
1897. His retirement from that high po-
sition was due to old age and feebleness,
and even before leaving the Supreme
Court his condition had been alarming,
but after his return to private life he drop
ped out of public notice.
His constitution, already impaired by
old age and kidney troubles, was still fur
ther weakened by an attack of grip some
months ago. He took another slight co'i
about two weeks ago, and he gradually
became worse. His vitality had been
sapped by his former sickness, and he
steadily grew weaker until the end came.
During his term of more than third of
a century Mr.. Field was concerned in
some of the most important cases ever
passed upon by the Supreme Court.
Among the prominent decisions was the
famous test oath case, in which he gave
the casting vote and wrote the opinion of
the court annulling the validity of tire
''ironclad" oath. His dissenting opinions
in the confscation cases, the legal tender
cases, and in the New Orleans slaughter
house case attracted the widest attention.

Montana Rivers Turned Into Raging
Torrents and Many Killed.
Twelve persons are known to have been
victims of the overflow caused by the ice
in the Yellowstone river below Glendive,
Mont, Friday night. The Yellowstone
above broke up last week, and great ice
foes have been passing down. When they
reached Glendive Friday afternoon, the
ice there had not broken up, and they
were piled up against the bridge. The
water rose thirty feet in one hour, and the
ice piled up against the bridge mountain,
before the first and second spans gave
way, and were carried down the stream
on the surface of the ice. The two spans
were 600 feet long, j8 feet wide and 40
feet to the crown, and not until the bend
in the river was reached, two miles below
the city, did they break up and sink.
The recent Chinook has made raging
torrents out of most of the rivers in Mon
tana, in many cases breaking all records.
The Yellowstone has caused the greatest
loss'to life and property. Ice jams have
backed the water up and great damage
has been done. At Miles City the ice jam

the water back until the entire south side
of the city was under water. Scventy-five
houses had to be abandoned, the people
having to be rescued in boats, so quick

afternoon the water broke over the track

SAYS RATIONS WERE GOOD.
Shafter Says that Beef on the Hoof
Was ImpracticabIe

was lmpractICaDic.
Captain Edward FL. Plummer, aide-de-
camp to Gen. Shafter, called before the
court of inquiry in Washington on the
beef question, testified as to the manner
Of packing provisions to the front from
Siboney. He stated that there were 100
wagons and 200 mules. Half of the lat
ter were used for the pack trains. The
road was bad and the provisions were got
to the men with difficulty. The ships were
so loaded that it was impossible to take
off such an assortment as would give a
complete ration to each soldier. Armour's
Jacksonville agent, S. Ochsenslager, testi-
fed that the meat issued at. Camp Cuba
Libre was good.
Maj. Gen. Shafter, who had charge of
the Cuban expedition, was the next wit
ness. After describing the movement of
the American troops on Santiago he stated
that the amount of provisions taken to
Cuba was determined by the capacity of
the vessels. lie first heard of the inten-
tion to use canned roast beef from Gen.
Eagan in Washington before the war.
Witness said beef en- the hoof was i'm
practicable in such campaign. He never
heard a complaint of the canned roast
beef as being unit for food until he re-
turned from Cuba. He ate it himself, and
found no fault with it. The first refrig-
Grated beef was received on the 10Th or
Goth of July. He only heard one COM
paint He had no reason at any time to
even think that tine beef had been chem
ically treated.
Gen. Shafter said that the supply of ra-
tions was good and sufficient; that there
was no complaint about the quality Of the
meat; no complaint about the hardships
an dexposure of the campaign. There
were no complaints to him from the rough
riders or their commander, Col. Roose-
welt. Maj. Lee read from report of
Roosevelt to Col. Wood, in which it was
said that the rough riders had nothing TO
eat but what they cartured from the
Spaniards. ''If they didn't" said Gen
Shafter, sit was their own fault, through
their own carelessness in not carrying
three days rations with them

proceeded to an advocacy of wide-awake
nationalisn. The audience was keyed up
