Mr.. Allen of Nebraska, complained that

Mr.. Carter explained that the licenses
granted were such as could be granted to
any citizen of the United States.

Black Rain.
From Chambers journal.

From Chambers Journal.
The first case Of black rain which comes
under review occurred at Grahamstown
and the surrounding district in August,
1888, and 1t extended over an area of no
less than 800 square miles. Since then
there have happened several showers of
a similar character. but less pronounced
in their sable character. Other showers
of black rain have been recorded in Ire
land, one of which was felt over an area
of 400 square miles. No one seems to
have microscopically examined the water
which fell at Grahamstown; but II was
noted that the liquid gradually cleared
when placed in a suitable vessel, and a
black precipitate fell from it. In the
latter cases referred TO the deposit has
been carefully examined, and was found
to consist of microscopic organisms which
averaged about the Observation-Disclosures
hundredth part of an inch in length, and
which were identified with the same fun
gold organisms that are responsible for
blight in the plants which they infest,
and subsequently for smut, mildew and
rust in wheat and barley. The writer
sums up his remarks thus: Humidity

copious production of fungi, and during
protracted drought the regions affected
thereby will remain comparatively bare of
fungi; but during the seasons of frequent

stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that neo-

any remedy claiming to be a radical ner-

4cuteness in never being humbugged. es-
neci4lly in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can ne
carried too far, so far, in fact, that MANY
people suffer for years with weak diges-

money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia

Mining King Saw Failure In IA Gold
Mine Claim.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Washington, March Ex-senator Elkins
of West Virginia knew Senator Clark of
Montana and refused to indorse his iudg
ment when the latter did not have a cent.
That was more than score of years ago.
To-day Clark has more money than he
can count, while Elldns. although not so
wealthy, is a millionaire several times
over.
Elkns is a Republican; Clark q Demo-
crat Clark is on trial before the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
for alleged bribery. Soon Senator Elkns
will be, called upon to vote on the ques-
ton of ousting Senator Clark from the
| Senate.
Twenty-Five years ago Elkins was a
prosperous attorney in the mining dis
| tricts in the West. Because of his skill
| in the law he. was much in demand
Scores OF miners and prospectors called
| at his office daily to consult about claims
One day Mr., Clark, who was then, a
poor prospector, came into Mr.. Elkins'
office. The first day Elkins was too busy
| to see him. He went away and returned
the following day. Then Elkins sent his
| clerk to see the caller. He found he
| had mining claim and wanted to inter
est Elkns in 1t. Ellxins, however was
I too busy to be interested in this business
and said he could not see Clark.
The latter was insistent. but Elkins
was really too pressed for time to see
| Clark. The miner made so much trou-
| bic a big husky "bouncer" who loafed
around the town was called in to put
Clark out. This however, without Elkins'
| knowledge. When E1lkins heard the
bouncer scuffling in an effort 20 eject the
obstinate Clark he came out dismissed
the bully and rather grufly invited Clark
inside.
See thisr' said Clark enthusiastically
| as he pulled out nugget as big as a

That's gold; that's gold, Mr.. Elkins."
In those days there were so many wild

faith in Clark's rosy pictures of the claim
he had staked off. Finding 1t impossible
to interest Elkins, Clark went away sor-
