WHY NOT In EUREKA,
Glass of Virginia Miners TO Take a
Course of study.

Course of study.
A meeting was held in the District
Court room one night last week, SAYS
the Virginia Chronicle, for the pur-
pose of forming a class to take a
course of study that will enable the
members TO obtain the degree of
Mining Engineer, which the Nevada
State University has offered to con-
fer upon persons who may pass the
required examination. without going
through regular course in tha. in
stitution.
1t was announced at the meeting
that President Stubbs OF the State
University had not only consented
to the project but heartily endorsed
the plan Of forming outside
classes, and that members of the
faculty would make frequent visits
to aid members of those classes in
obtaining the degree of Mining En-
gineer.
Why would it not be a good idea
to organize class here in Eureka?
President Stubs would, without
doubt, gladly answer any inquiries
as to the steps necessary to be taken.

Information of Interest 10 Pros
pectors for That Metal.
In view of the general interest in
copper mining an expert gives the fol-
lowing information OF interest relating
to copper ore deposits;
The carbonates and oxides of cop
per, viz: the green, blue, red and black
ores, are always found above the
"water line."
Ores of copper almost universally
were originally sulphurets above the
water line as below, especially near
the surface the sulphurets have oxi-
died, becoming in the first instance
sulphates. The sulphates are soluble
in water and the water at or near the
surface has dissolved part of the sui
pilates and carried them into all of the
little seams and even into the body of
the adjacent rocks, coloring them with
the beautiful green and blue colors
common to carbonate of copper ore.
The smallest possible amount of
sulphate of copper is sufficient to color
considerable quantity of the ada
cent rocks, and green hand at the
business finding large quantities of
these highly colored rocks at or near
the surface Of his mine Immediately
imagines himself the fortunate owner
of an immense and valuable lode of

DECISION ON BACK TAKES.
Judge Dewey Declares the New Law to
be CONSTITUTIONAL.

Newton, Feb. 1O.-Judge A. R. Dew
ey has just given an important decision
in the district court here on section
1874 of the code, being the new
section relative to the collection of
back taxes. j. Suit was begun against
several parties here by the Iowa Tax
Investigatingi company, whose head
quarters were in this city. The defend
ants filed demurrers, claiming that the
law was unconstitutional and not re-
troactive. Counsellor both sides SUBJ
mitted exhaustive arguments and the
demurrers were overruled by Judge
Dewey, who declares the law to be
both constitutional and retroactive un-
der this decision, which is the first to
be made on the points involved that
taxes may be collected for five years
prior to the demand by the county
treasurer. Many thousands of dollars
will thus be saved to the state, as the
system has been adopted by many coun-
ties thruout the state, the Iowa Tax
Investigating company having con-
tracts with a number of counties.

AN IOWA ELOPEMENT.
Daughter OF u Wealthy Farmer Runs
Away With the Hired Man.

Fort Dodge, Feb. TO-. The entire
countryside in the vicinity of Farm
hamville, a small town twenty-five
miles southwest of this city, has been
thrown into fever of excitement by
an elopemsnt. James Mcdonald, a
farm hand, wooed and won pretty
Rose McLain the young daughter of A.
B. McLain, prominent and wealthy
farmer. Mcdonald is, comparatively
recent arrival and nothing is known

ued to. meet the young lady and We'd
nesday succeeded IN inducing her to
accompany him to Farnhamville, where

father soon heard of his daughters
departure and hurrying to Farnham-
vile melted wires in all directions to
intercept the runaways and finally sue
ceeded in having the pair arrested at
York, Neb., where rhey are now being
held to await his arrival. McLain VOWS

The strength Of staples, and partic-
.ularly those of agricultural origin, is
the leading feature this week as last.
In general trade weather conditions
have not favored al large distribution,
but comparisons with year ago are
stu Hn sfst sBsgSafi1d is reflected in
increased clearings and comparisons
with last year are again encouraging,
while gains over years previous to 1899
are marked.
In strength of demand and size of
advance cotton still is easily first. AL
tho the crop movement has noticeably
enlarged, so active has been the de-
mand from foreign spinners that fully
three-eighths cent advance is shown.
The strength of the new product nat
urally affects manufactured goods,
which are firm and in good demand
from jobbers. Recent rains have in
creased the supply of water, and New
England mills are now running to
their fullest capacity. Southern man
ufacturers are busy and will use one
sixth of the south's total cotton pro-
duction this season.
Corn is higher, partly in sympathy
with wheat, but also on reports of
damage to the Argentine crop by heat.
Provisions have been quite strong
thruout the week and active demand is
responsible for higher prices of pork
and lard in the face of larger receipts
OF hogs at primary markets.
The strength of the raw sugar posi-
ton has been further increased this
week by bullish reports from Euro
pean beet markets, and the expectation
that receipts of cane sugars are apt to
be light in the future. Refined grades
have been strong partly owing to the
strength OF raws and partly to the
shutting down of a number of refine
ries.
Coffee steadily advances, the result
of continued small crop reports from
Brazil and of good consumptive de-
mand here. Asss'$is
hides and atherare' firmly maintain
ed, tho reports from the boot and shoe
trade of current business are not good.
Fine grades of wool are quiet, but
there is still an urgent demand for
medium grades, and quarter-bloo sell
better, considerable imported woods
having changed hands in eastern mar
kets. Reports from the wool trade
continue favorable to a high degree,
and firm or higher prices are regarded
as a certainty for the future.
Unfavorable weather has affected
distribution in most sections this week,
but mail orders have been of fair size
and the spring trade outlook contin-
ues unimpaired.

Frankfort, Feb. 1o.-(By Associated
Press.)-Taylor has definitely decided
that he will not sign the Louisville
agreement. He made this declaration
this afternoon as he came from the
legislative hall in which he had all
morning been in conference with re-
publican committeeman from all parts
of the state. He has decided to allow
the matter to be settled in the courts
and will abide their action. The legis-
lature will be allowed to meet here
Monday and will continue it's work
without further interruption.
Immediately after Taylor came from
the hall orders were issued to the
troops TO return to their homes and
cars were at once ordered for their
transportation.
The meeting was long and exciting,
the opinion from the first being strong
ly against signing any agreement with
the democrats which might in any way
be construed as surrender by the re-
publicans. The feeling was also gem
eral that it was needless to keep up
the fight as it had been conducted for
the last two weeks. 1t was then de-
cided to allow the legislature to come
back Monday, to discontinue the ses-
sions at Londan, and allow matters to
be settled by the legal tribunals.
There is no doubt as to what the de
cision of the courts and legislature
will be as both have already gone on
record as favoring the Goebel side.

Al RECORD BREAKER.

by Defeating the Racine Team
by a Score of 101 to 0.
NOT A RACINE MAN WON
Petit Leads the Kenosha Players With a

Yule was only Few Holes Behind.

Kenosha, 101; Racine, 0. This was
the record of the match between the
Racine and Kenosha golf clubs played
on the local links. on Saturday after
noon. While the teams were sched-
u1ed to play golf match, the amuse-
ment for the afternoon was little more
than farce, as the Racine team was
entirely outc1assed and the defeat was
an unexpected one both to the visitors
and to the members of the Kenosha
team. But the Kenosha players had
no idea that all records of golf would
be broken by the score tabled against
the Racine team. The Racine players
were defeated from the first hole and
they simply made feeble effort to
keep the score within a reasonable
bound. Stephen Bull, of the Racine
team, was the only man that put up
anything of a strong game and he only
succeeded in holding c. H. Tobey to
an even score. All the members of
the Kenosha team admit that Tobey
was decidedly out of form and his
game was not a surprise. The story of
the game is told best by the score
which follows:

WILL SUPPORT BRYAN.
Col George " caIush Returns to Demo
cratic Fold After Year at outs.

Quite tae sensation of the Demo
cratic convention held in this city on
Saturday afternoon was the speech
made by Col. George William Caruth,
formerly Minister to Portugal under
President Cleveland. The Colonel was
one Of the Democrats who bolted
Bryan in 1896 and formed the Gold
Democratic ticket. The Colonel was
the distinguished visitor at the con-
vention on Saturday and when Chair
man Slater called on him to get up and
tell the delegates how he felt he
warmed up and before he completed
his speech he delivered eulogy on
Bryan and declared that he would sup
port him for President. However, Col
Caruth, who is one of the old time
Democrats, has not been converted to
the Sixteen to One" fa1lacy and
stated to the convention that the fact
that he would vote for Bryan was not
based on any friendliness to this
theory, but because he was an anti
expansionist. The speech was re-
ceived with great applause by the dele
gates in attendance at the convention,
and though Democratic in principle it
was one of the finest speeches ever de-
livered in Kenosha. The full list of
the delegates selected by the conven-
ton is as follows:

WILL CAMP HERE.
Light Battery of the Fifth Infantry to
Come to Ken0sha For Their An
nuaI Encampment.
A TASTE OF SOLDIER LIFE.
q S. Van Ingen Has Leased Ground to the
Government For the Soldiers and They
Will Be Here in September

The city of Kenosha is to have
taste of soldier life within the next
few weeks, as II. S. VanIngen, of
this city, has leased a portion of his
farm south of the city 10 be used as a
camping ground for the light Battery
of the Fifth regiment of the army now
stationed at Fort Sheridan.
The battery will come to Kenosha
during the first week in September for
weeks camp and target practice, and
their visit will be one of great interest
to the people of Kenosha and surround
ing territory. The battery consists of
hundred men, and they will bring
with them six of the new guns recent
1y purchased for the use of the army
by the government.
Their life on the VanIngen farm
will be the same as in camp, when the
regiment is in service. They will
bring with them their horses, and
daily the men will be seen in dress
parade on the streets and about the
camp south of the city.
Mr.. Van Ingen has not as yet Sc
but he will locate it as near town as
possible, in order to give the people a
chance to become acquainted with the
men in the battery and their work.
The visit of the battery to Kenosha
will be an inovationin soldier life.
Several great wooden and metal tar
gets will be set up on the land and
these will be shot at with the rapid
firing guns. The men will remain
near Kenosha for full week and dur
ing this time the noise of the cannon
will resoupd all day long. The com
ing of the battery will also help bust
ness in Kenosha, as the soldiers will
need a large amount of provisions as
we'll as provender for their horses and
they expect all this to be supplied by
the people of the city.
The work of the battery will be
great object lesson to the people of
Kenosha, as few people of the city
with the exception of the old G. A. r.
men have any idea what real warfare
is and the firing of the rapid firing
guns will give the people of the city a
little idea of the work of the United
States army in actual service. The
exact location of the camp and the ar
rangements for the weeks outing will
be announced later.
