FINDS GREAT VEIN OF MICA.


DR.. W. E. Nichols. of Huntington,
Ind, IL back from British Columbia,
where at the head waters of the Pence
river. he discovered q great vein of
mica. DR.. Nichols in 1897 penetrated
1,700 miles into the unexplored north.
He cured the Indians with his medi-
cines, and they in gratitude told him
of gold deposits. He made his way
ACROSS mountains, and on the slope Of
one ran across this great vein Of mica.
The next year he went in again with u
partner, c. w. Norris, of Chicago, and
staked off claims. He and Norris have
brought with them five tons of mica,
valued at over 100000. They claim
they can produce cubes of mica four
feet square. Heretofore the largest
sheets have been measured in inches.
The doctor will claim the prize Of
f2s.o0o offered by the British govern
ment for piece of mica four feet
square. He snys his sheets can be used
for glass in locomotives and on battle
ships. The vibrations Of the gun firing
always skaters glass, and the navies
Of the world will want his mica sheets.

Death of DIR. Hamper.

Monday morning our citizens were
startled to hear of the death Of DIR.
Hamper which occurred the night pre-
xions. He had been enjoying perfect
health apparently, and his brief illness
It seems was only known to few. On
Sunday his brother, William Bryan,
came up from his ranch to see him, but
nothing serious was dreamed Of. How
ever, it proved otherwise, and his soul
took its flight about O'Clock, paralysis
Of the heart being the cause.
Z Charles Norman Hamper was born In
eomersetshire, England, on April II,
1883. but his residence Of late years has
Ibeeu in Chislehurst, county of Kent.
He graduated from the Edinburg uni-
sersity as NJ. D., and Travelled exten-
siyely in the furtherance of his studies.
Last April he came to Neeker with his
brother, WHO spent the previous winter
tA England. While in our midst he
qade a host of friends, and his sudden
demise casts gloom over all.
Deceased was unmarried. and leaves
1 brother and a sister, the latter being
In England.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
morning. the remains being consigned

SITUATION IN THE XIXTH CAUSING TALK
AMONG THE POLITICIANS-THE
VARIOUS CANDIDATES.

The nomination of Republican candidate for
State Senator in the XIXth Senate District is ex-
pected to be attended with unusual difficulties
this fall Since John Ford announced that he
would be a candidate for Senator in the dis
trict again several candidates for the Republican
nomination have been placed in the field. and the
situation is causing more talk among the poll
ticians than is any other local political matter.
It is understood that Assemblyman Edward Fl.
Falows Is the who is favored by Senator
Platt and the Republican county organization for
the nomination. There have been reports that
the organization agreed to deliver TO Mr.. Fallows
the nomination for State Senator. and that the
promise made previous the March pri-
marles. Abraham Gruber has been declaring that
Mr. Fallows turned against him In the XNlst
Assembly District fight at the primaries on ac-
count of such agreement. Mr.. Gruber has de-
clared that Mr.. Fallows cannot be allowed to
get the nomination for State Senator.
The XXIst XXIIId and XXXIst Assembly dis
tricts included in the XIXth Senate District
Mr.. Fallows represents the XXIst District In the
Assembly at present. Assemblyman Samuel s
Slater. Of the XXXIst District, is candidate for
State Senator, and the Republicans of his district
declare that he Is the strongest Republican candi-
date that be named. The Gruber faction in
the XXIst District IS said to be ready to help
nominate Mr. Slater. but there has been persistent
talk TO the effect that Mr.. Slater and his friends
will be told by Senator Platt and other organiza-
ton leaders that Mr.. Slater must keep out of the
contest for the nomna ton this year and leave the
field to Mr.. Fallows
James P. Davenport, of the XXIIId District, is
a candidate for the nomination, and nearly all of
the Republican captains of the district said to
have agreed to support him. Mr. Davenport for
merly was municipal judge. and he has been a
member OF the Republican County Committee
eral years Some of the district politicians that
II Mr.. Slater refuses to be candidate against Mr.
Fallows there probably will be a union of the
Gruber followers In the XXIst District with the
friends of Mr.. Davenport in the XXIIId District.
A movement among independent Republicans and
Democrats in the XIXth Senate District in favor
of the nomination Of Mr.. Fallows for Senator has
been started. An association has beer formed and
resolutions have been passed declaring that Mr.
Fallows ought 70 receive the nomination for Sena-
tor. Mr. Fallows is travelling in Europe at pres
emit and is not expected to return to the city until
the early part of June

PARKER NOT LIKELY TO RUN.
HIS TASTES FOR LAW NOT POLITICS. AND
HIS SYMPATHIES NOT WITH SOCIAL
ISTTC DEMOCRACY.

Albany May % (SpecfaD.-The report from
Washington that Alton B. Parker. Chief Judge
of the Court of Appeals, may be nominated
for vice-Presdent by the Democratic National
Convention naturally read with interest by
the Democrats of this city 1t is thought quite nat
ural that consideration should be given him
for the position, since he is the only Democrat
who has had majority State candidate in
this State since 1892, and is of the few eminent
Democrats of this State left over from a period
OF political prosperity who has any personal
strength.
Judge Parker was elected Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals in 1897 The year before in 1896,
William Mckinley the Republican candidate for
President had the gigantic plurality of 26S 469 votes
Yet the following year Judge Parker defeated Will
lam ]. Wallace, the Republican candidate for Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals, by plurality of
60 S89 Judge Parker educated in politics In the
school of Samuel J. Tilden and the advice he gave
the managers Of his campaign in 1897 must have
largely contributed his election.
1t Is greatly doubted here however. that Judge
Parker would accept a nomination for Vice-Prest-
dent for his tastes along the line of his pro-
ression. He lawyer. and the law is what in
terests him. politics. Upon several occasions
he has shown his distaste for political places.

Democratic party when Roswell P. Flower was
nominated in 1891, but he would not permit the

that Judge Parker has eleven years and seven
months yet Chief Judge of the Court

resign that office a candidate for Vice
President with William ]. Bryan candidate
for President.
Nor Is ii believed here that Judge Parker has the
slightest personal sympathy with the socialstic
doctrines of the Bryan wing of the Democratic
party. He would probably not aid. therefore. In any
attempt to put a Populistic President in the White
House. Besides, Judge Parker is shrewd man
in political affairs. He would understand a
glance the desperate campaign ahead of William ].

the Democratic party and surely would resist any
attempt of alleged friends to involve him in any
