Career of a PrOdigal.

News has been received that Alonzo
C. Yates of Syracuse, n. Y, well known
in Milwaukee through his marriage to his
cousin, who was Miss Leila Yates of that
city, died at Nice, France. Yates was a
remarkable man in so far that he spent
in less than three years a fortune of ST.
100000 which had been left him by his
father. He had almost gone through his
fortune when he married his cousin. She
brought him dowry of 1000, which
the couple lost no time in spending. He
had a fondness for wine and fast horses,
and it was this that made wreck Of what
was once magnificent specimen of man
hood, and who had the reputation of being
the finest reinsman in central New York.
1t was this, too, which is supposed to
have caused the separation between the
couple last year on their return from a
trip abroad. Yates was q years old.

Worth s5oo.ooo to the Ton.

A special from Cripple Greek, Colo,
says of the recent strike in Isabella
ground: "Your correspondent saw chunks
of sylvanite that were three inches thick
and solid metal, and chunks of the oxi-
died ore of the same width that he whit
tied with his pocket-knife. No assays
have been made on the rock; it is not nee
essary; but pieces of the free gold ore, if
ore it can be called at all, run over $780,
600 per ton. Joining this metallic body
there is six feet of quartz that will run
from $1,000 to $4,000 per ton. Manager
Kilburn said: I do not like to say any
thing that will excite the people any more
than they are at present. Some of the
pieces of ore are so per cent. gold. |
never saw such mineral, and do not be-
lieye that its like was ever mined in this
or any other camp in the world Armed
guards are watching the property. 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 an assay was obtained in
the breast of the drift in two feet of ore
that went better than 81 900 per ton.
There is at least blocked out in the one
level between the ninth and seventh levels
$0,O000OO worth of ore"

Engineer and Fireman Dead.

Two men lost their lives in a peculiar
accident on the Chicago, Great Western
road, between Junction and Dodge Cen
ter stations in Minnesota, and there was
considerable damage to property. A
freight train had been left standing on a
branch line, running from Junction to
Manly Junction. The engineer and fire
man had gone into the station to eat their
breakfast and so far as has been ascer-
tanned no one was on or near the locomo-
tive at the time. Suddenly it began puff
ing steam and before anyone was aware
of it, had started off at good pace up
the line. 1t passed Junction station and
sped along toward St. Paul on the main
line. Running swiftly behind it was a
through north bound passenger train from
Chicago, the trainmen of which supposed
they had as usual a clear track ahead of
them. AS they turned curve just a lit
tie south Of Dodge Center the passenger
train dashed full speed into the rear of the
runaway freight. The locomotive of the
passenger was practically turned into
scrap iron, and both it's occupants were
killed. The combination baggage and
buffet car was also considerably damaged,
and the few passengers who were in it
We're shaken up, but no serious injuries
were sustained by any of them.

PRISONERS IN HOTEL.
THREE SMALLPOX CASES IN AN
OMAHA HOSTELRY.
Armed Policemen Prevent the Guests

Through Sky1ight-Severa1 Captured
Omaha Hotel Guaranteed.

The spectacle of an entire hotel full OF
guests being quarantined and armed pO-
licemen standing at every door and Win
dow to prevent the people escaping was
presented in Omaha the other night.
Three well-defned cases of smallpox were
discovered at the Vendome Hotel, located
in the center of the city. The health de-
partment was notified and plans were
quickly decided upon for Quarantining the
place. A squad of armed policemen raced
to the scene and when the guests started
on their accustomed morning duties they
were driven back into the house by force.
Consideration reigned, but the authori-
ties were determined There was nothing
else to do. Travelling men begged to he
permitted to get away, guaranteeing to
leave the city by the first train or afoot
if necessary, but none was given his lib
erty. Several daring fellows slipped out
the skylight, scaled the adjacent roofs
and, making their way through the snow
and ice over the housetops, managed to
reach the ground in safety and began
foot race with the officers. Several escap-
I'd, but many were captured and taken
back to the hotel.

FAILURES ARE FEWER.
Report for January Is Surprising as
Well as ENCOURAGING.


Il. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: Failures in January We're
smaller than in any previous month except
August, 1898, and July, 1897, and the
proportion of solvent payments to clearing
house exchanges is smaller than in any
other month of which records exist. In
January there were but SO cents per ST.
300, clearing house payments, and the
smallest in any previous month had been
about $1.0S per $1,000. The defaulted
liabilities were $7,721 1877, against $1O,-
451,513 last year, a decrease Of 26 per
cent, and So per cent smaller than IN
1897, 81 per cent smaller than in 1896, 90
per cent smaller than in 1895 and 16 per
cent smaller than in 1904. The manufac-
turing failures were the smallest, except
August, 1898. There were only seven
failures for 100000 or more, and the
average of liabilities per failure is smaller
than in January of any other year, and
the small failures are not only fewer IN
number but smaller in average liabilities
than in any previous year. Considering
that January is usually one of the largest
months of the year in failures, the return
is surprising as well as encouraging. Fail
'tres for the week have been 224 in the
United States, against $50 last year, and
- in Canada, against 80 last year.

STALLED IN COLORADO.
Wreck on Rio Grande Road Caused by
q SnOws1ide.

All transcontinenta railroad lines lead
ing through Colorado were recently tied
up by the snow. East-bound trains from
Salt Lake on the Colorado Midland and
Denver and Rio Grande roads were stall
ed at Glenwood Springs, being unable to
proceed farther because of the snow on
the tracks. The west-bound trains on
these roads pushed through the drifts as
far as Eagle, where they were blocked.
Train No. /, on the Denver and Rio
Grande, ran into snowslide near Sho-
shone, about nine miles from Denver. The
mail car teescoped the tender and the
baggage car was damned into the mail
car. The mail clerk and the baggage
master were severely injured. The slide
which caused the disaster is about 100
feet long and fifteen feet deep.

and water. The part of the factory which
faces Sixth street is also practically in
tact, except that the machinery and some
contents are damaged by water. The fore
man of the factory says the fire origlnat-
ed mysteriously in a box in the basement
containing sawdust and shavings from the
wood-turning machines. There was no
fire, however. near 1t, and no oils to aid
spontaneous combustion. There was
something of panic among the workmen,
but al escaped without serious INJURY ex-
cept Robert Ferguson, a finisher, who fell
from the fourth floor and suffered some
badly broken bones. Charles II. Thorne,
shipping clerk, and Emil Martin, labor
err, suffered slight injuries. The building
is owned by the Fort Street Union Sta
ton Company, whose viaduct it adJolns
and who acquired it at the time the union
depot plant was established. It's estimat-
ed value is 100000, insured for about
$4,000. The insurance on the stock and
machinery is about $4,000, which, 1t is
believed, will about cover the loss, al
though the owners will state DO estimate.

CHINESE BURNED TO DEATH.
Set Fire to Their Cabins While Be-
fuddled with OPP iun1.

Chinatown, at the Chemainus lumber
mills near Nanaimo, the coal center Of
British Columbia, has been almost COM
pletely destroyed by fire and number of
Chinese burned to death. The Mongolians
built huge fire in the center of the Chin
csc quarter and proceeded to smoke
opium. All became befuddled and the
flames catching the fimsy cabins of the
settlement gained Roadway before the
opium -drugged Chinese realized their pre-
dicament. Then they rushed blindly into
the flames. Scenes Of the widest descrip-
ton were witnessed by the white settlers
who went to the rescue. The fimsy shacks
burned fiercely and soon they were mass
of smoking ruins. 1t was then ascertained
that at least two Chinese burned to death.
A number of others were badly burned,
and it is reported that several others. are
missing

for the proprietors, for Charles Whitney.
cattleman, who came to the live stock
convention, had, up to 8 p. ~, after play
ing all day, a stack of chips which called
for $4,000 or Whereabouts. The proprie-
tors tried all the good luck and bad luck
lodges, but they could not break whit
ney's run. In despair they sent one OF
their ''house cats" out on the street to
give the police a tip SO that the game
might be broken up by the city authorities.
This scheme succeeded. How frightened
they were of Whitney's luck may be judg-
ed by the fact that they relinquished to
the police an outfit worth $500 rather than
continue to play.
