WILSON Is ALL RIGHT.
Nothing in tho Rumor of HIS Illness and
Resignation.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The report
sent out as to the illness of Secretary
Wilson was simply born of the imagi-
nation of an irresponsible reporter on
an evening paper. In speaking of the
matter Mr.. Wilson said:
"rhere is not word of truth in the
statement. am as strong as bull
calf. do hard days work every
day, although do sometimes get tired
after being at it for long time. 1
have not seen the president about it or
talked with anyone on the subject, nor
have any intention of doing SO. I
have worked every day this summer
and after getting out my report 1 did
say to some of the boys that intend
ed to go little slower. The clerks in
my department had vacations. had
none and felt was entitled to q lit
tie rest. I think they might have tel
ephoned me and asked me before pub
fishing such statement"

BKEYITIES.

A fire at Sheldon recently destroyed
three business buildings, entail
ing loss of $4,000. 1t is believed
that the fire is incendiary.
Robert Rush, a colored porter on the
Illinois Central road, shot himself in
sleeping car lying at the company's
depot in Dubuque recently. He was
found unconscious and taken to the
hospital, where he died. His home
was in Chicago. 1t is stated he had
been in an insane asylum.
Dubuque dispatch: A new mining
discovery is announced. 1t is the find
ing of lead ore under zinc ore. The
discovery was made in the Pixies Peak
shaft, which had been operated by
means of a pump for some time past.
This mine is the deepest in the vicin-
ity. Great results are expected.
An opinion was handed down by
the supreme court recently favorable
to the river frontiers in the famous
Des Moines court house site contro-
versy. The opinion in short is that
the board of supervisors have the right
to sell the old court house site. The
opinion of the court is based on the
fact that the city has made special
levies against the present court house
site and in doing SO has made the site
county property. This removes any
plea of dedication to the public. The
decision is one of two cases now pend
ing before the court. The latter will
have but little effect for the reason
that the decision of this case virtually
settles the entire controversy. The
board has the right to sell the site and
use the money for the purchase OF a
new site.
