SOME USES OF CHEMICALS.
Mr. Veeder wanted his remarks un-

canned beef. Tons of chemicals were
used around packing houses in other
lines of product Every particle of ma
terial was utilized in some way, chem

it was no sign of improper preparation
of beef if chemicals happened to be

Are Being Taken From the New
Cripple Greek Lead.
Ore That Runs 100000 to
the Ton.
1T BEATS THE WORLD.
No Such Mineral Ever Before
Seen Anywhere.
Ore Worth $5,OOO,OOO Already
Blocked Out.

Denver, Jan. Boa special to the
News from Cripple Creek, Col, says Of
the recent strike in Isabella ground:
Your correspondent saw chunks of
silvanite that were three inches thick
and solid metal and chunks of the oXi-
died ore of the same width that he
whitfield with his pocket knife. No as
says have been made on the rock; it is
not necessary. but pieces of the free
gold ore, if ore it can be called, at all,
run over 100000 per ton. The MolIie
Gibson never produced any ore that
carried more ounces in silver per ton
than this Isabella ore does in gold With
every hours work the stream is length
ening and widening.
Joining this metallic body there is
six feet of quartz that will run from
$1,000 to 1000 per ton"
Manager Ki1burn said to your cores
pondent: "I do not like to say any
thing that will excite the people any
more than they are at present. The
metallic ore body has doubled in size
both ways since yesterday morning.
Some of the pieces of ore are 80 per cent
gold. I never saw such mineral and
do not believe that it's like was ever
mined in this or any other camp in the
the rock but ton of it could be picked
out that would run anywhere from $780,
900 to $780, 900 per ton.
'Armed guards are watching the pro-
perty. The strike was made in the new
ore body at a depth of $50 feet below the
surface. The chute has been cut at the
seventh level 200 feet above, and also
at the fifth. At the latter place the as
say was obtained in the breast of the
drift ore that went better than 81, 600
per ton. There is at least blocked out
in the one level between the ninth and
seventh levels $5 000, 900 worth of ore.

THE STORM IN KANSAS.
RailroadsPartial1y Blockaded and the
Temperature Below Zero.

If the fall of snow continues. accom-
panied by as strong wind has been
blowing since early hour this morning,
the Kansas railroads will be practically at
the mercy of the storm by night. What
snow has fallen up to this afternoon has
drifted rapidly, filling the cuts along the
railroad lines. A continued fall means
complete obstruction and suspension of all
traffic for a time at least.
Reports received at the Santa F'e and
Rock Island Offices in this city state that
the storm is practically confined to the
state, and is more severe in the eastern
and central portion. AT all points in the
state the temperature is reported hover
ing in the vicinity of the zero mark, with
indications that it will fail still lower. The
blizzard seems to be extending in a west
erly direction, and while at noon the snow
and high wind was reported no farther
vest than Dodge City on the line of the
Santa Fe, the storm promised to reach
the eastern portion of Colorado before
night.
All passenger trains were on time today,
but the storm offered a material interfer-
ence to freight traffic. The interference
was due to the fact that the trainmen had
difficulty in handling the trains because of
the extreme cold. Several reports of frozen
fingers, toes and ears among trainmen
We're received at the railroad offices here
today.
The. blizzard extends along the Rock
Island lines into the southern portion of
Nebraska, but the storm is not as severe.

To FILL POSTS.
Governor Stanley Appoints In
surance Supt., Adjt. Gen,
and Grain Inspector.

Governor Stanley will send to the SEN
ate today three appointments, insurance
superintendent, state grain inspector
and adjutant general. The governor de-
clines to announce the appointments un-
til he has sent the message to the SEN
ate, which convenes at o'clock this
afternoon.
The following guess is made on the
appointees: Insurance superintendent,
]. C. Postlethwaite, Jewell county; ad-
jutant general, Sim Fox, Manhattan;
grain inspector, A. E. Mckenzie, Wyan-
dotte.
The situation may change before
superintendent of insurance, with Pos
tlethwaite on the court of visitation.
Capt. Charlesworth Of Beloit, who is a
hero of two wars, is a strong candidate
for adjutant general.
There seems to be no doubt about the
appointment of Mckenzie as grain in
spector. He is a Methodist and prom
inent in his church, but he is a stranger
in politics, having seldom if ever attend
ed primaries or taken any interest in
local affairs in Wyandotte county.
LATER.
The governor declines to make public
the names of the appointees which he
will send to the senate which convenes
late this afternoon, provided there is a
quorum of senators present, but from
reliable authority, late this afternoon,
the following was secured as the names
the governor will send to the senate:
Insurance Superintendent-W. v.
Church, of Marion.
Coal oil inspectors. o. Spencer, Fort
Scott.
Grain inspector-A. E. Mckenzie,
Kansas City, Kan.
At o'clock the governor had not de-
cfded to name the adjutant general to-
day, but he may do so. Indications this
afternoon are more favorable to Capt.
Charlesworth, than S. NJ. Fox.

A THREATENED BOYCOTT
Gives Rise to Suit For $75, 900
DAMAGES.

Cincinnati, Jan. 3O.-Jerome Cotton &
Co., stock dealers in this city have
brought suit for $75,000 damages against
an association of stockholders of this
city for an alleged boycott.
The case came before the United
States court on demurrer. Judge
Thompson decided that the conduct all
legged in the petition amounted to the
formation of a trust in restriction of
trade, and was good ground for an ac-
tion for damages. He ordered the de-
PENDANTS to show cause why judgment
should not be rendered against them.
Cotton & Co., alleges that they were
notified that unless they Joined the COM
bination they would be boycotted and
persons who deal with them would be
blackliSted.

ness and brought sleep to the exhausted
man. Mr.. Reed improved perceptibly

close of the war Mr.. Reed entered the
Chicago School of Theology, graduating
from that institution in 1868.
HIS FIRST PASSIONATE.
His first pastOrate was in a small
town in Michigan, but he soon after
ward accepted the pulpit of a non-sec-
tartan church in New Orleans, where
he remained nearly four years. Here he

London, Jan. 3O.-The 250th anniver-
sary of the execution of King Charles

PROMINENT IN POLITICS.

PROMINENT IN POLITICS.
Mr. Reed has always been prominent
in the politics of this state. In 1886 he
was nominated for congress by the
Democrats, and, though the normal Re
publican majority was from 5000 to TO-
600, he was defeated by only 500. In
1892 Mr.. Reed espoused the cause of the
Peoples party and was again rendered a
nominate for congress. He declined it
and Lafe Pence, to whom the nomina-
ton was given, was elected by a large
majority.
Mr.. Reed leaves a widow, two sons
and a daughter. The older son, Paul L.,
is q. civil engineer, residing in Antwerp
Belgium. The younger, Ralph W., is
an attorney in this city. The daughter,
Mrs, Leslie o. Carter, resides here.

Reports from Cape Nome continue
rosy, and undoubtedly there is gold in
that region. At the same time it must
be remembered that AL is not gold

upon which there is so much of ro-
mancing as that of gold mining in a
newly discovered district.
Those who have been fairly success
full look at the conditions through high
powered magnifying glasses, while
those who have not succeeded are
usually reticent concerning their !nis-
fortunes. The general public is quite
prone to believe the favorable stories,
and either disbelieve or disregard the
tales of woe.
The anxiety for a rich prize blinds
the average man to all the uncertain
ties. There never yet was a mining
district opened up in which more than
a very small fraction of the prospec-
tors struck it rich. 1t is hardly rea-
eonable to assume that the frozen
shores of Alaska are any exception to
the rule. And, as the Standard has
heretofore observed, in the event of

The season now drawing to a close
has witnessed a marked advance in the
development of the British Columbia
mining districts. There is no room for
doubt that it is a mineral region of vast
wealth and permanency. The ores are
generally of the concentrating and
smelling classes, and the scarcity of
mills and smelters has heretofore been
a drawback, as ores Of the kind re-
ferred to will not, as a rule. pay for
hauling long distances. Latterly very
encouraging advance has been made in
this direction. Among other develop
ments may be mentioned the new smell

the grading and blasting for which has
been already begun. 1t is to have ca
pacity of three hundred tons a day,

can be readily increased sixfold
