CRIPPLE CREEK STOCKS.
Values Have Advanced $26,OOO,OOO
Since the Isabella Strike.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Feb. 27.-The
xtraordinary values opened in the 1sa-
bella mine in January has been respon-
sible for an advance in Cripple Creek
gold stocks and has been estimated at
from $25, 900, 900 to $30,000,000.
Three hundred and eighty-six stock
companies are recognized in the latest
hand book. OF this number at least a
third are active traders. The advance
on twenty leaders from December 81 to
today's call was 100000 900. This boom
is not to be compared with that of 1885,
SO, when mining exchanges were double
their present number, and when there
was no organized protection from Wild
cat stocks. The exchange here has done
much to protect spectators. The mines
are deeper and the amount is much
greater than heretofore. The values
represented by the stock boom have a
basis in the substantially increased
value of the mines themselves. The ex-
change is the most extensive gold or
ganization in the country. Recently
1000, 900 shares were sold in a day, or
an four hours of call.

Schley, Capt. Cook of the Brooklyn and
other officers of the fleet operating in
front of Santiago, but a number of the
bureau chiefs are of different opinion
and contend that steam is more certain
of action. The question which Mr. AL
len has decided was raised two months
ago when the power that should be
used on boat cranes, winches on deck
and other auXiliaries on the five new
battleships was being considered and
so animated was the discussion that Mr.
Allen was called in as referee.
The effect of this decision will be to
go back to steam power for auxiliarieS
where electricity has been generally
used. All nations are adopting the cleo
trical appliances in place of steam
wherever it is possible, and it is be-
Heved by majority of the bureau
chiefs that a grave mistake has been
made in this respect and that this will
become apparent after the ships are in
commission.

PALMER IN KENTUCKY.
Is on a Brief Visit to Louisville to Col
1ect Material For His War Book.


Louisville, KY, Feb. 27.-General and
Mrs. John NJ. Palmer are in Louisville on
a brief visit. General Palmer said in
interview:
Il am out of politics. Free. silver is an
exhausted issue, and. except in local n
tests will cut no figure as a national is
sue: 1 cannot say whether the Democrats
will take up expansion issue not.
The gold Democrats will seek their own
affiliations, for they are not a factor any
a power.
'I am for the subjugation of the Fill
pinoS," continued General Palmer. ''They
should be fought as long as they want
fighting. When they are conquered they
may be given q chance to know what mill
tary government is. If they show they
are capable of governing themselves I
believe they should have their own gov
eminent. The same might be applied in
Cuba and Porto Rico
General Palmer is here to obtain some
details for his volume of "reminiscences. He
was commander of the department of
Kentucky from February IS, 1865, until
1866. and is writing a book about his war
experience.

Minnesota. Prof. Breda Of the state
university, to whom the stone was sub
mitted, said that when the inscriptions
were first submitted to him as being
from possible runic stone found in the
western part of Minnesota he was dis
posed to laugh. No runic stones had
ever been found in America Neverthe-
less he took the stone and made up the
following translation of the inscrip-
tions, dashes indicating the location of
words or characters which he could not
make out, not being correct runes:
'Swedes and-Norsemen on a journey
of discovery from Vin1and West-we
camped-one days journey from this
stone. We fished one day. After we
came home we found-man red with
blood and dead. A. V. NJ. saved from
-have-men at the ocean to look after
our shfps-day's journey from this is
land. Year
Prof. Breda seems to regard the stone
as possibly genuine. His theory is that
at the time the stone was deposited at
the place found it was on the shore Of
Lake Superior, which then, 500 years
ago, was several hundred feet above
it's present level, making it entirely pos
sible that the piece of ground at that
place was island. The stone has been
sent to Prof Curme at the Northwestern
university, who will make careful ex-l
animation of the inscriptions. II

A BULLET IN HER HEART.
Yet New York Woman Lived More
Than Fourteen Days After.

New York, Feb. 27.-The autopsy per-
formed today on the body of Mrs Sarah
Tefft, who shot herself Feb. r. and died
yesterday morning, shows a remarka-
BILE surgical case in that the woman
lived more than Ia days with bullet
practically in her heart.
The autopsy was performed by Or.
Riegelman, coroner's physician, Bronx.
He found that the bullet had gone
through the breast bone at the sixth rib
on the left side. 1t then punctured the
pIeura, or lung, and afterward the per
icardiurn, or heart case. 1t went through
the muscular wall of the heart Tor a
distance of an inch and a half and re
manned in the pericardium sack Ihe
puncturing left an orifice through Whlcn
air was admitted. In this condition.
with the bullet practically in her heart,
the woman lived for fourteen ana a NAH
days. -
Dr. Riegelman said that the case IS a
remarkable one and almost without
precedent. The prize fighter, Bill Poole,
who was shot in 1856 in Stanwix haIl,
lived nine days with a similar wound.

BORAX Is USED.
G. F. Swift Admits This, But Says It
Is Not Embalming.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Borax forms an i'm
portant part of the working material of
the big meat packers of Chicago. Gus
tavus F. Swift, head of the big stock
yards firm of Swift & Co., admitted at
his home today that this was true. He
said that cured pork was the principal
meat in which it was used and it was
employed to keep the meat preserved
which is shipped abroad.
Some other packers answered eQuivo-
cally when asked if they knew of it's use
in their business. Still others denied it
absolutely. w. F. Burrows of Libby,
Mcneil & Libby said that he knew of
no such case. He was sure no Gamers
used it, and that it was not employed in
the shipments of beef.
Cured pork said Mr.. Swift, when
sent abroad, is treated with borax, I
know. This is simply means, not to
preserve the meat, but to keep it pre-
served The insurance policies of pack
ers include large quantities of borax, be-
cause large quantities of it are kept on
hand.

KOHLsAAT's NOMINATION.
Times-Herald Editorial Strengthens
Opposition to Confirmation.

Washington, Feb. 27.-An editorial in
Mr.. H. H. Kohlsaat's paper, the Chi
cago Times-Herald, has been telegraph
ed here. 1t has had the effect of
strengthening the opposition to con-
firnfng Judge c. c. Kohlsaat's nomi-
nation.
Senator Cullom was silent regarding
the nomination. Today he says there
will be no confirmation at this session
and he does not see how the president
can make a recess nomination, in view
of the remarkable utterance. To lead
the president explained his reasons for
the nomination of Judge Kohlsaat, the
day before he sent it to the senate. He
spoke of his personal relation to Her
man H. Kohlsaat and of the latter's
request for this favor from the admin
istration. On the part of leading repre-
sentatives like Hopkins and Cannon
there was immediate acquiescence in
the presidents view that the editor of
the Times-Herald was entitled to this
consideration.
That portion of the editorial which
causes unbounded establishment is the
following:
THE Times-Herald disclaims all re-
sponsibility for Judge Kohlsaat's ad-
vancement. He is a Republican. 1t is
independent; and political favors are
not what it seeks in it's earnest and
consistent interest in political move
ments. So far as it is concerned 1t
would rather see Judge KOhlSaatS con-
firmation defeated than have him owe
it, or anything else, to the favor of the
present Republicans in Cook county"
The statement was made today by
friend of the president that If such an
expression by Mr.. KOhlSaa't paper mad
appeared before the nomination was
made another name would have been
sent in.

PRINCESS LOUIsE's DEBTS.
Over 100000 FIofins Contracted
After Her Elopement With
Lieut. Keglevitch.

zeitung says that Princess Louise of
Coburg, eldest daughter of the king of
the Belgians, has debts to the amount
of 2,500000 florins, almost all of which
were contracted by Lieut.. Mattasich
Keglevitch, who was her companion
from the spring of 1897 until she was
placed in an asylum. Their prodigality
was amazing. The lieutenant forged
the signature of Archduchess Stephanie
of Austria, sister of Princess Louise, for
GOO, 900 florins. For this crime he was
recently sentenced by a military tri-
bunal to six years Imprisonment.
The husband of Princess Louise

What is Osteopathy?

1t is puzzle to many people that Os-
teopathic treatment can reach the eye.
They say, and truly too, "You cannot
get your fingers back of the eye ball to
treat it for it is surrounded by the bony
cranium-the skull"
That is all true and we use that very
fact to prove that we do not need TO get
our fingers back of the eye ball, for if
the eye is SO thoroughly encompassed by
the skull and protected from injury and
external violence, then what would be
the object of treating in that region?
Now, owing to the fact that the eye,
its appendages and the optic nerve are
so well protected, it needs no special
treatment, unless it be fractured. Then
you have surgical case and surgical
operation would be necessary.
But, granting that there is no fracture
the eyes are in their sockets with their
nerves and muscles intact, they would do
their work properly and would see clear

Now il this condition does exist you
need not be surprised at tho results
which follow. For the eyes are no ex

have free circulation and unrestrained

reaches the eyes and brain must 60 up

PARTY EMBLEMS.

Probably the most popular emblem
nowadays in England is the primrose
of April 10.
The violet was the Bonapartist EN-
bem and many duels were fought over
the little blue flower.
Admirers of Gen. Boulanger used to
wear red carnations always in their
buttonholes,
In France Orleanists wear white
daisies and followers of the house OF
Bourbon Giles Blancs 'Espagne') wear
white carnations.
On the day of Parnell's death his fol-
lowers wear a sprig of ivy. Jacobites
sport oak leaves on Royal Oak day, May
20, and ever since the birthday of James
Ill, in 1868, they have worn white roses
on June 10. Red carnations are also
Jacobite emblem,
Nowadays anti-Scmites in Algeria
have taken the cornflower as their
badge, but in Austria this party al
ways wears a white carnation. The
cornflower was the favorite flower of
the old Emperor William of Germany,
and loyal Germans used to wear bunch
ese of it in his honor,
