has been trying to get some one with
money 10 send him in search of the
amber mine. His story Is an interest
ing one. Some 30 years ago he was q
sailor on board a Russian sealing YES
sei which was wrecked on one of the
small islands of the Alaskan coast.
The crew managed to reach another
small island In the schooner's boats.
and nearly starved before a Russian
war vessel happened along and rescued
them.
While on the island they found guam
titles Of amber and traced {, to big
ledge. The pieces of amber which they
had In their possession when taken on
board the warship were taken away by
the officers. Popon managed 10 SNUG
gle one small piece away and has hung

NIL over the world during the years

He tried many times to have an expe-

During ;he recent mining excitement
In the north he got rs far ~ sifka.
where he became stranded he con-
ldrd his secret TO few friends and
they furnished the money that out

Ii 1t Malaria or Alum.

(EOpulaF science MOntnIy.)
Languor, loss Of appetite, indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms Of physiological condi-
ton termed malaria" All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect Of the use of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect Of
alum upon the system. It obstructs d.
gestion, prOstrates the nerves, coagu-
lates and devitalizcs the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards Of health, and food
commissions. So "highly injurious to
the health Of the community" does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
"their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every housewife to en-
ploy the very little care that is neces.
sary to keep SO dangerous an element
from the food Of her family.
:. A pure cream Of tartar baking pow.
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty-five
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore. IL
you ara paying much less, something
is wrong: it you are paying twenty
five cents or less per pound. the pow
der is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder.

Greeted Gen. Funston ana the Fight
Tag Twentieth.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 4. - Returning
warriors never received q more royal
welcome here than that accorded yes.
terGay to the soldiers Of "Kansas'
famous Fighting Twentieth" on its ar
rival from San Francisco. Gen. Fred
erick Funston came in for the lions
share of attention shown to the Of
ficers, and the Little Hero of Afanila''
was literally taken off his feet by his
admirers in their eagerness to display
their regard for him. At every station
In Kansas after the Colorado line was
crossed cheering crowds met the SOL
diers and greeted them in unstinted
fashion. The schools and colleges
along the line were closed, business
was practically suspended and the
people fiocked to the trains by the
thousands. Snow IN the mountains
had delayed the trains. and it was
1855 before the first section reached
Topeka. The three other sections fol-
lowed closely.
1t seemed as IL the whole State of
Kansas had come to town. and it is es
timated that fully 10000 outsiders
were here. The returned soldiers were
escorted to the state house by q mag
nificent parade composed of civil war
veterans, national guard and civic So
cieties. The ceremony of presenting
Gen. Funston with the $1,000 sword
was witnessed by tremendous null
titude. Gen. Funston. in his speech
of acceptance, predicted that in one
years time the island of Lrzon would
be as peaceful as the State Of Massa-
chusctts.

TO GOVERN SAMOA.
Tripnrtite Arrangement IL Not Sat-
isfQctOry,


isfactory.
Washington, Nov. 3. - The negotia-
tons for the partition of the Samoan
islands are proceeding rapidly and Of.
ficials here would not be surprised if
4 final agreement were reached in the
near future. The discussion which is
going on in London. with the co-opera.
ton of the authorities here and in Ber-
lin. has brought out certain essential
features on which all three powers ap-
pear to be agreed. At the outset it is
stated that the determination was
reached that the tripartite govern
ment of the group should come to an
end and that not more than two pow,
crs. ard preferably one, should govern
the islands. 1t soon developed that
an agreement was not likely to be
reached giving the entire group to one
power, but the chances seemed good
for an arrangement that two powers
divide the islands, thus giving a dual
government in place OF the present I'M
wieldy 1ripartite arrangement. 1t
seemed to be generally accepted by
the negotiators that the United States
represented. and that the island OF
Il
Page is located. would naturally fall
to the Let of the United States.
1t is suggested that Great Britain
cedc the Gilbert and Solomon islands
to Germany, the latter retiring from
Samoa. The Fiji is!ands and some
other points also have been considered
during the discussion. bat thus far
Germany has not acted favorab'y on
the suggestion and there have been ev-
licences that she preferred to retain
her interests and make compensation
to Great Britain. This remains open
and appears to be the chief point re-
manning in the way of final adjust
ment.
The foregoing general outline was
given yesterday in quarters we'll in
formed OH the general lines of the me-
gotiation. although it was with the
! reservation that understandings were
merely formulat!ve and still open to
material change.
