YELLOW FEVER SCARE.
Causes Texas to Establish
a Quarantine.

Jackson, Miss, May 31.-Advices hav-
ing been received from President Sou
chon, of the Louisiana state board of
health, that one case of yellow fever
had appeared in New Orleans, DIR. j. F.
Hunter, secretary of the Mississippi
board, sent Inspector Cant to New Or
leans with instructions to make a
thorough inspection of the city.
Houston, Tex, May 31.-State Health
Officer Blunt, on hearing of the case
of yellow fever in New Orleans, placed
quarantine guards and inspectors at
all points of entrance to Texas by tele-
graph orders, and has sent the follow
ing telegram to every railroad entering
Texas from New Orleans: "Do not sell
tickets over your line from New Or
leans to any Texas point. Do. not bring
any passengers or things from New
Orleans either by express or freight
into Texas until further orders" This
will tie up the Southern Pacific hard
and fast, as it has been tied up for the
past three summers. The train that
went through Tuesday night will be
the last one until the quarantine is
raised, though officials are trying to Sc
cure service by running two trains, to
connect at the state line.

Offers IN THE WATER.

Offers are properly a branch of the
weasel tribe and do not differ from the
sable. Though their toes are webbed,
they can climb, dig, run, have sharp
teeth and If they want can kill and
eat rats, birds and rabbits.
The speed of an otter under water
is amazing. Fish have no chance
against them. In some places in India
offers are kept by the natives to fish
for them. They are tied up to stakes
like dogs, when not working, wear
plated straw collars and seem happy.
In times of famine offers have been
known to attack hen roosts, ducks and
even lambs. In the water they swim so
easily scarcely ripple marks their
progress. Offers do not take naturally
to the water as do young ducks, but
have to be taught how to swim by their
anxious parents.
Offers are very amiable and make
good pets. In disposition they are
something between kitten and .
dachshund, and the only complaints
against them are that they will not sit
still nor 60 to sleep like dog or cat,
and that when once they get into the
water It IL hard to make them come
out

BIG LUMBER DEAL.
Transaction Involving the Purchase
of 4OO.OOO,OOO Feet of Standing
Pine in Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, May 3o.-A Sentinel spe-
cial from Ashland, Wis, says lum-
Der deal of considerable Importance to
north Wisconsin and especially to the
cities bordering on Lake Superior has
taken place. The deal involves the pur-
chase of 4oo,O0O,OOO feet of standing pine
in Lake county, MIMI, the considera-
ton being over 100000. Former
United States Senator Villas, of Madi-
son, and Col. John H. Knight, of Ash
land. are the purchasers. The impor-
lance of this deal to the mills on Lake
Superior is of great moment, because

The New Land of Gold.

Yes, 1daho's turn has come at last.
For years she has lain dormant waiting,
waiting. The turn has been called, "the
clock has struck" the change has come.
The extension OF the Northern Paci-
fc's Spokane-Pa louse branch to Lewis
ton, and the further extensions, the pres
ent season, from Lewiston up Lapwai
Creek and up the Clearwater River into
the heart of the old Nez Perez reserva-
ton are working wonders. And along
with this era Of railway expansion comes
the wonderful discovery OF gold in the
Buffalo Hump country. Here, where
forty years ago the placer mines yielded
$Ioo,ooo,ooo, so the authorities tell us,
now are discovered the most stupendous
quartz lodges ever known. Between
Florence and Elk City, Grangeville and
the Salmon River, the probabilities are
that Klondike will be outdone.
Then, too, the farmer and ranchman
has his chance. Between Lewiston and
the Hump lies fruit and grain region
famous around Idaho. The Cold Springs
and Camas Prairie lands can't be beat.
AS fruit and grain country this region
beats California, and now that new min
ing camps furnish good and nearby
markets and transportation facilities are
SO much improved, the farmer will find
these acres to be as rich mines of gold
to him as the quartz lodges are to the
miner. So everybody has chance here,
to make good turn. Send two cents
to Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul, Mimi, or to
any general or district passenger agent
OF the Northern Pacific railway for the
rev Buffalo Hump folder. 1t describes
all this region. 1t has large and up-to-
! date map in colors.

Beats Former Recor,is.

The crop year of 1889, ending July
81, will be the banner year for wheat
receipts IN the history of the Mime
apois grain trade. The record will be
broken by the great total of $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat received in IL months.
In the calendar year of 1896. Mime
apolis received 79,5Gs. $40 bushels of
wheat, but the 10000, 900 mark has
never been passed in either calendar or
crop year. There has been received in
Minneapolis since Aug. !, 7S,OI9,Ol6
bushels of wheat, and it is not unrea-
sonable to expect 1000. 600 more in the
next two months. OF this total of re-
ceipts, Minneapolis will grind nearly
65,0oo,ooQ bushels in her mills, The
city remains the great primary market
of the country.

at The Hague.

The Hague, June both sections of
the disarmament committee met
Wednesday and, as was anticipated,
failed to agree with regard to the ques-
tions of new inventions in ornaments.
The drafting committee of the arbitra-
ton committee made some advance.
The American delegates submitted
their scheme relating to an arbitration
tribunal. The plan differs from the
British proposal. In substance it is as
follows:
1t provides that each country shall ap-
point single arbitrator. to be selected by
the supreme courts of the signatory pow
ers. The tribunal shall have permanent
central seat. and be composed Of at least
three judges. who shall not be natives or
residents Of countries belonging to the
powers In disaccord. The general expenses
shall be shared proportionately. In the
event OF new facts arising within three
months of decision, the same tribunal
lions in dispute. Recourse to the tri-
bunal shall be optional for the signatory
powers The tribunal shall not take cog
nizance OF any dispute until assured that
the parties concerned will accept its de-
cision. The convention shall come into
force anu the tribunal De established when
nine powers. eight of whom shall be Eu-
ropean or American and four of whom shall
be signatories Of the declaration of Paris,
1856, shall have adhered to the convention.
Apart from the above project, the
Americans proposed special scheme
of mediation, providing that, in the
event of difference arising between
two powers, each shall choose another
power to act as its second. The powers
thus selected shall do all they can to
reconcile the opponents. These Sec
ending powers shall, even when war
has broken out. continue their efforts
