rHR WISHING WELLS
A Strange Old Scotch Custom That
Il Handed Down from Fa-
ther 10 Son.

In Scotland old customs die hard, es-
pecially in the highlands, as was evil
denced on the first Sunday in May,
when the dme-honored practice of pay
ing a visit to the wells, the waters OF
which are known for their healing vir-
tues, was observed by hundreds Of per-
sons.
Young and old journeyed from In
rerness during the day TO St. Mary's
well, which Is situated near TO the
blasted Culloden heath, and n after drink
ing the water coin was dropped into
the well. This act is supposed to be an
earnest Of good health and success dur.
Ing the year.
The practice of visiting wishing
wells has descended from father to
son, and despite the fact that many
ministers point out that it is not con.
duciye to keeping the Sabbath holy, and
is only fit for superstitious barbarians,
still the numbers who go TO the well
never diminish.
Not only was the practice observed ir
parts Of lnverness-shire, but in Ross
shire also numbers of people visited the
famous healing well of Craigehow, de
posted their coins and returned appar
emily satisfied that trouble and sickness
had effectually been guarded against in
the coming year.

I.lQnid Air for Everybody.

Push cart venders will sOon sell
liquid air on the streets OF New York
City at nickel a gallon, and every
house will have its own ,cOoling ap-
paratus. A plant capable Of turning
out ! 800 gallons Of liquid air daily
has been established on West Thirty
third street and a company expects
to put the discovery on the market
within a short time as a commercial
product.
The air is produced with compare
tive cheapness and will be sold as
refrigerant and as source of power.
With a steam engine capable of de.
velOping 200 horse power in a day OF
"a hours, an output Of about l.5OO
gallons has been obtained. The
new experimenters in this interesting
liDe of Work have invented a motor
for utilizing the stored energy OF
liquid air, and hope for a patent
within few weeks. Already they
have tiny turbine operated by a jet
OF vapOrized liquid. and this turbine
drives fan. Rooms occupied by peO.
pie can thus be conveniently cooled.
1t is thought that by using the liQue
tying apparatus in place OF an am
mOnia plant cold storage may be had
as cheaply as by any other method.
1t has been puzzling matter hith.
ertO to put liquid air up in conveD-
lent shape for transportation. 1t wds
found to be unsafe to enclose it In
sealed receptacles, because evapp"a

They Tell a Different Story.
rom Thurs avs Journal.

From Thurs iay's Journal.
Sheriff Heskett returned from Mil.
lerton about midnight last night,
having in custody Tom Murray and
his son Viii, who are charged with
assault with intent to kill. They
gave bond in the sum of $500 each and
were released. Their trials will be
held before Justice L. D, ChaddOn in
this city the 10th inst.
Murray and his son tell a very
different story from the one told by
the BulOCkS. ]. H. Bullock says the
assault upon his boy Harry was COM
mitted by the Elder Murray, and that
the Murrays did all the aggressive
fighting. Murray says the assault
was made by young Bullock, and that
the only fighting he and his boy did
was to defend themselves. Young
Murray's scalp is split open in two
places. 1t required several stitches
TO sew up his wounds.
Murray also Says that Ben GriDstrad
Of Wellington, who is working for the
BullOcks, took part in the fight, and
that GTinstead struck him several
times. Murray thinks his boy would
have been killed if the Bullock boys
father had not stopped them. Muir
ray and his son are neither very
strong. The difficulty arose over a
wagon.

A New Kind of Swindler.

The Kansas City authorities have
arrested an "Alaska-KlOndyke In
prOVement t. Mining Co." swindler
who made d business of swindling
widows. Mrs. Maggie Newly OF Cor
bin, was one Of his intended victims.
The Swindler operated by representing
himself to be the district agent of a
mining concern, and would send
packages marked COD. addressed to
men who recently had died. These
packages contained each certificate
OF stock in the bogus company ne
represented. Along with each certi.
acate Was statement which showed
that the dead man had paid for part
OF the StOck--made several payments
perhapS-but left small balance OF
S., $40 or Sl2 still unpaid. The widow
or son of the dead man, rather than
loose the apparently valuable paper,
generally paid the amount due and
returned it in the COD. express
package. Mrs. Newly was about to
pay over the balance alleged TO be due
on her husbands mining stock, when
the S@indler was arrested. Mrs.
Newby's husband died about two
weeks ago of cancer of the stomach.
He was aclerk in the Corbin pOstOffice.
Since his death Mrs. Newly has been
filling the position.

Give Orders to Mine OwnsrA
Spokane, Wash. May 7.-Mines Of
Shoshone county, Idaho, that propose
to operate during the reign of martial
law may do SO only on condition that
they do not employ members Of the
Occur d'Alene Miners Union.
This is the martial law as laid down
by General Merriam and Attorney
General Hayes of Idaho. At meet
ing Of the mine owners in the city
this morning Mr.. Hayes presented this
mandate. The owners cheerfully prom
ised to obey.
I'VE are going to clean up the Coeur
d'Alenes," said Attorney General
Hayes prior to his departure for Boise.
II have seen some of the mine own
ers to-day, and they have been informed
by the proper authorities that they
cannot employ anyone connected with
criminal organization in the county.
The Miners Union in Shoshone county
contains many desperadoes and crimi-
nails who have, under the protection
of the union, perpetrated crimes and
outrages. Twice has it been necessary
because of these men and their organ
ization to put the country under martial
law. We want to put n stop to that
sort of thing.
1.-The owners living in Spokane allow
the union to run things, and when
property is threatened or riots occur
as n result, they wire to the governor
of Idaho to send troops to protect their
property. Some of these mine owners
know who the men We're who left their
mines to go up to Wardner for the
purpose of blowing up the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine"
They allowed. the men to go out of
the mines to destroy the property of
another and then to return to work.
I'VE have undertaken as large job
of criminal prosecution as ever COM
menced in the history of the country.
Trying between 700 and 800 men is n
task of enormous magnitude. We pro-
pose to push the prosecution vigorous
ly, however. l am obliged to go back
to Boise for few days on official busi-
ness, but will be back in about week.
and expect to spend the entire sum

will be tried in both the state and Fed
eral courts. Murder and arson are
some of the charges the state will
bring against these men and we hope
to inflict the extreme penalties. The
state and federal authorities are work
ing amicably together in the matter
and will aid each other as much as
possible. Something was done in this

RAILROADS COMBINING.
Gigantic Combination Being Formed In
tho East.

Cleveland, Ohio. May S.-The Lead
er Will say tomorrow: According to
high official of the Vanderbilt lines in
this city. the details of big railroad
trust, which Is to include all the lines
between Boston and Chicago, are now
being worked out and the consolidation
may be completed within the next few
weeks.
The recent purchase of shorter lines
In New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio In
diana and Illinois was in line with the
plans for the consolidation. which has
been in contemplation. 1t is not the
purpose to have all the lines under one
management exactly, but to appOrtfon
them among the Pennsylvania COM
pany, the Vanderbilt interests and the
Baltimore Il Ohio company, when it
shall have been reorganized. giving to
each system the lines that it can use
to the best adv >ge.
The first ink of the scope OF the
plan came wA-n the Vanderbilts an
nounced the other day that they con-
trolled all the roads in New England.
with the exception of the Boston 4 AL
bany, with which they have now n
traffic agreement and which they ex-
pect to take in soon. The Vanderbilts
now control all the trunk lines between
Buffalo and New York. with the excep-
tion of the Erie, the Lackawanna and
the Lehigh Valley. The Erie 1t is said.
Will come under the control of the
Vanderbilts through the influence of
the Morgans. while the Lehigh Valley
may go to the Baltimore & Ohio. The
IIacknwanna Is now operated in con-
nection with the Nickel Plate, a Van
derbilt line.
The purpose of the consolidation Is
SAID to be to prevent rate cutting and
to accomplish practically what the
Joint Traffic Association was organized
to do.

MINING UNDER ASPEN.
New Deal of the Argentum-JunIntAT That
Means Larger Output.

New Deal of the Argentum-Ju -JunintA That
Means Lsrger Output.
deal was concluded in this city
yesterday which will have an import
ant bearing upon the Immediate future
of mining in the Aspen district.
The advance in the price of Argen-
tum-Juniata has been noticed by min
ing brokers for some time and was at
tributable in the main to the advance
III the price of silver. 1t has trans
pired, however, that the Argentine
Juniata people have secured lease
upon the property of the Aspen Deep
Mining Company, which includes a
large area of developed ground lying
beneath the town of Aspen.
This is one of the most important
mining deals of the year, and has been
effected entirely by local capital. The
Argentum-.Iuniata Company has been
steadily at work developing its ground
for several years, and the property, es-
pecially that portion lying under the
city of Aspen and including a large
area Is one of the most thoroughly de-
veloped in the state: so that all the
leasing company has to do is to break
down and ship ore.
The ground lying under the city of
Aspen is in Il peculiar condition. The
Argentum-Juniata and the Aspen Deep
Mining Company own the ground be-
meath the alternate lots and streets and
alleys of the city. 1t follows. as n mat
ter of course, that neither company can
operate at a profit its own ground
only, on account of the narrow and ex-
pensive workings that 1t would have to
open. The only thing to do was for
one to secure lease of the property
n n nfl aud f1,., ,:xs.
have been in negotiation for some
time regarding the future operNtions
of the district.
The Aspen Deep Mining Company
has sunk 7O0-foot shaft on its exclu-
sive property. which comes up to the
line of the old town site. The shaft
is actually in the town. as ii stands to-
day. but no further development has
been made, and the negotiations have
resulted in a lease of the Deep Mining
Company's interests to the Argentum-
Juniata Company. and the latter COM
pany will at once proceed to develop
the ground. which Is said to be eX-
tremely rich
To those who do not understand the
situation 1t is necessary to explain that
the ownership of narrow strips of
ground by two different companies alb
solutely blocked development. as nei-
ther company could drive more than
fifty feet in any direction without COM
ing into the ground of the other. I'm
der the terms of the lease, however,
the Argentum-Juniata Company can
now develop the ground thoroughly,
taking out all the ore and greatly in
creasing the output of the camp.
The closing of the deal at this time
is due in n great measure to the antic-
ipated advance in the price of silver
and it is believed that the two compa-
MES will soon commence making heavy
shipments. as the initiatOry drifts viii
be run so that both companies can de-
velop at once.
