SNOW SHOES
Now Afford the Only Means of
Getting Around
In the Country About LeadV lille,
Colorado.
SINCE SUNDAY NIGHT
A SnOWstOrm Has Ragged With
Extreme Violence.
Railroads Have Given Up the
Unequal Battle.
SINCE SUNDAY NIGHT

Leadville, Colo, March 3.-The snow
storm which began here at midnight
Sunday shows no signs of abating. The
railroads are completely. tied up west
of this city and are running but few
trains east. The outlook here is most
discouraging for business men and
laborers. There has been a loss to this
community for a month past of over
$4,000 a day in wages, in addition to
heavy losses to mine owners through
failure to make shipments and carry on
development work.
On Carbonate, Fryer and one or two
other hills some work is being done but
elsewhere the mines are idle. Leadville
seems to be the center of the storm belt.
A telegram says that the storm in the
region embracing Breckenridge, Dillon,
KOSomo, Robinson, Dicl<ey, Climax and
Wheeler is worse than for a week past.
1t is stated here that no effort will be
made to open up the South Park or Blue
River lines to the blOckaded towns I'M
til the storm stops, is every effort made
SO far has resulted only in getting more
rolling stock tied up. The Rio Grande
people have eight engines dead on their
short branch.
Snow shoe parties have been orga-
nized to carry provisions from LeadvilIe
to Climax, Birds Eye and Robinson by
parties who live in that section.
A snow shoe mail service is also to be
established for points on the South
Park railway to which no trains have
run for over a month

BOOM IN FRESNO GRAPES.
Wineries to Be Built and Grapes to
Be Cultivated.

Fresno, Cal, March Sd. P. Ross and
A. Scarboro of San Francisco, president
and secretary respectively of the Italian
Swiss colony of Sonoma county, have Wis
tied Fresno several times recently. They
were here today and returned toSan Fran
cisco again. The object of their visit was
given out an intention to build a winery
Immediately, ia by 332, with capacity of
2,S00.000 gallons on the Timothy Page
tract west of town.
Forty acres of this was purchased from
the Bank of California A large dstillery
will also be erected. The work is to be
commenced without delay. West & Son
of Stockton also propose to erect a large
winery near Hanford, Kings county. The
Lucerne vineyard, the largest raisin-grape
growing concern in the world has decided
to take 1900 raisin-producing acres out of
market and has contracted to sell first
and second crop of grapes to it for wine
purposes, owing to the climatic conditions
making it more difficult and costly in
this county to cure grapes. Reedley, in
Fresno county. will also have a winery
and diStillery this season. The two rail-
roads have already commenced surveys
for spur track connections with the Swiss
COLONY winery.

IRON Spite FENCE.
Dispute Between Rich Men Leads to
Its Construction.

Newark. N. J., March 3.-An epidem-
ic of spite fences has struck this city
within the last few years. The latest
has just been begun. 1t is to grace the
yard of a big apartment house erected
by John Frank in Comes alley, and
darken the windows of an apartment
house just built by Peter Zazzali next
door. The fence will cost $3.50, and will
be of corrugated iron. A permit for its
erection was obtained last week from
Building Inspector Peal, and the work
will be done by the A. Smith Iron
works. 1t was the original intention to
build the fence of wood, but the build
ing inspector forbade this, the place
is inside the fire limits.
Frank is an Italian fruit and tobacco
dealer, at No. 497 Broad street. ZazzaIi
is also an Italian fruit dealer, and his
stand is at Market and Broad streets.
Both men are wealthy.
When Frank erected the building in
Comes alley he left two feet of space on
each side of the walls, so that his ten
ants might have light and air. He tried
to persuade ZaZZali to leave a similar
space at the side of the building next
door, and thus have four feet of clear
space between the two structures, but
Zazzai would not listen to the propo-
sition.
Very WELL" said Frank. ST can fix it
so that my air space will not profit you
much
two numbers, 9 and IL, and that owned
by Frank is Nos. Is and Is. Zazzali's
will be occupied by 16 families, and
plenty of air and light is an important
consideration. There are many windows
on the side next to Franks property.
Not until the building was practically
completed was the plan of a spite fence
made known. Now, it is said, Zazzali
wishes he had complied with his neigh
boris original suggestion.
The fence will be painted white on
the side toward Zazzalrs. In places it
is to be of the same height as the new
building, 80 feet, so as to cover all of
Zazzalis windows and deprive them of
practically all light and air. Franks
house will suffer little, as the fence will
take up scarcely three inches of his two
feet of space.
1t is said that jealousy on the part
of Frank for fear some of his tenants
may go to the new building is a motive
in the construction of the fence, but
this he denies.

FOR ALGER'S PLACE.
President Will Be Asked To Bounce
Him and Appoint Gold Democrat

Washington, March 3.-Secretary AL
gers announcement that he has no in
tention of resigning from the cabinet
has caused certain of the presidents
advisers to tell him boldly the situation.
Nevertheless, Ayers friends claim that
the relations between him and the
president are Of the most cordial char
acter.
There Is said to be a secret move
ment to have the president ask for
Ayers resignation and fill his place
by the appointment of one of the mem
bers of Cleveland's last cabinet. Two
men have been spoken of-ex-Secretary-
of State Olney and ex-Secretary of War
Lamont. 1t is asserted that criticism
of the war department would instantly
be quoted if either of these men should
be placed at it's head as secretary of
war, and that it would also conciliate
the gold Democrats, irritated by fail
ure to secure currency reform in the
present congress or through the hope
of an extra session.
1t Is recalled that Senator Cameron
was forced out of President Lincoln's
cabinet on charges of maladministra-
ton in the war department in 1852 and
Edwin M. Stanton, the attorney general
of President Buchanan, succeeded him
as secretary of war.
The friendship of Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, it is said, has been en-
listed in this scheme.

SEEDS FROM THE FAR EAST
Results of Prof Knapp's Visit to
China, Japan and Manila.

Washington March 3-Prof s A.

he went as agent of the agricultural de-
partment to secure such native seeds and

Of rice, grown and cultivated in Japan
Mr.. Knapp said today:
MANY parts of our rice belt have suf-
fered cOnsidera BILE loss by breakage in the
milling of the rice, due to the poor quality
of the grain In many districts over 60
per cent is broken in milling The loss
10 the planter Is easily seen when 1t is
known that head or whole rice brings two
cents more to the pound than that which
has been broken. The agricultural de-
partment took the question under consid-
Grafton, knowing that, if a quality of
rice could be secured that would NOT
break to any large extent i1lriper the mill
ing process, it would be a great saving
TO the planters Specimens from all rice
growing countries of the world were Sc
cured by the department, and after a care
ful analysis 1t was found that the rice
grown in Japan would come nearest to
solving the problem.
Il secured a car load of rice, which is
now on its way across the continent from
san FRANCISCO, from the island of Kyu-
Shu, which lies south of the Inland sea.
The quality of this rice Is much superior
70 that OF emma and the Philippines for
the reason that it is better cultivated, that
the berry is rounder and that it is less
liable to break under milling process. In
addition to rice 1 brought some varieties

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
The Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans. are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
element and worry of American BUSH
ness life, it is more often the result of
weak stomachs. of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incura BILE. b11t
not one case In hundred of heart trol1-
BILE is organic
The Gle e relation between heart trou
BILE and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by the same erraa+
nerves, the Sympathetic and PneIlmo-
gastric.
In another way, also the heart is eff
fected by the form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs
interfering with their action: hence
arises palpitation and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making 1t thin and watery, which irri
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food
This can be done by the regular use
e1ter meals of some safe, pleasant and
enective digestive preparation like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which NAV he
found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ell
ements IN a pleasant, convenient form
II is safe to say that the regular per-
slstent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
