Bryan and TOwDe.

Minneapolis. Minn., April Io-The
Journal says:
Former Congressman Charles A.
Towne OF Duluth is candidate for the
Democratic nomination for vice presi.
dent Judge Caldwell of Arkansas has
declined to permit the use of his name in
that connection, and Mr. Towne's candid
acy is predicated on the judges declina-
ton. The demand for Mr. Towne's nom-
ination is said to come from the gold
Democrats and Republican anti-imper
lalists of New England, who were
charmed with his eloquence on his recent
tour through that country, and his diplo.
matte handling of the situation. 1t is as
serted that Mr. Bryan would be glad to
have Towne for running mate. Sena-
tor Pettierew is another supporter. His
program is to have the national Populist
convention at Sioux Falls, S. D.. May 9.
adjourn without nominating, leaving 1t
to committee, which would later in
dorse the Democratic ticket named at
Kansas City. If this proves impossible,
he will push for the nomination of Bryan
and Towne at Sioux Falls.

A MINE THAT PAYS.
Handsome Returns From two Days Run Of
Pennsyivania Mill.

Handsome Returns From two Days Run Of
Pennsyivania Mill.
George w. Teal, manager Of the Penn
sylvania mine and mill, Ward district,
exhibits retort of practically pure gold
weighing eight ounces. This represents
the savings on the plates at his com
oany's fine new mill for two days run
and more than pays the expenses Of
mining and milling seventy tons of ore.
The profit is in the concentrates from
this first run of two days amounting to
about eight tons running $40 ton. The
Pennsylvania is. probably, the best
equipped property in Boulder county at
the present time, having ore bodies SO
large that FIVE men can keep the big 40
ton mill going steadily, the work being
almost entirely automatic. Mr.. Teal
says he can load the ore and convey it to
the stamps for hve cents ton, The
vein is huge one, the values being an
average OF $40 a ton. Mr.. Teal is es.
pecially grati6ed over the saving on the
plates as this is merely incidental and he
Rad not calculated on such remunerative
returns

Frederick Funston's execution OF two
Filipinos and the possibility OF court
martial resulting therefrom. The Filipi-
nos captured three Macabebe scouts near
San Isidro, and were preparing to kill
them, when one of the Macabeoes es.
caped and found Gen. Funston with a
scouting party near. This man guided
the Americans to the rescue OF his COM
panions. and when the troops approached
the Filipinos fled. leaving the Macabebes.
Several of the Filipinos were shot and
Gen. Funston captured two of them, took
them to the village square and hanged
them without trial, as warning to the
Fillpinos.

which is less than 5000 and all OF whom
are not concentrated in this position.
The British position is said to be strong
one and the town is strongly provisioned.
The chances of getting reinforcements
to Brabant are practically impossible
and the army will be compelled to sur.
render.
Meantime the Beers are active in the
neighborhood of Bloemtontein. Roberts
movements are not known, but one cor
respondent wires that the movements of
troops continue in bewildering frequency.
London. April Io-Br,tons are now be.
ginning. though reluctantly, to realize
that Lord Roberts is in for a winter cam
paign, lasting several months. This is
the end, in a few words. of the high
hopes based upon Lord Roberts brilliant
dash to Kimberley and Boemfontein.
Preparations are being made to hold
Bloemfontein against surprises. Lord
Kitchener has been given an important
duty, being responsible for the protection
of the railway while Lord Roberts is
waiting tor remounts. and winter clothing
for the troops. " hose thin khaki uniforms
and boots are worn out.
Generals Brabant and Gatacre are
both at standstill. Lord Roberts will
probably for some time con6ne his oper
ations to clearing the Free State behind
him of raiders and to the relieving Of
Mateking. for which purpose, apparently
the English division. now arriving at
Cap Town, has been ordered to KIM
berley.
Lady Sarah Wilson and other Mate
king correspondents send diaries of the
doings there, showing that the Beers have
tried, by abandoning their trenches, to
lure the besieged out into mined am.
bush. Fortunately the British engineers
discovered the mine, cut the wire COM
munication and unearthed $50 pounds OF
dynamite and war gelatine.
What the chances are for an advance
to Pretoria may be judged from the fact
that only from six to ten thousand horses
are on their way to the Cape, and from
the further fact that the military tailor
ing department only within the last three
weeks began making woolen khaki uni
forms. It is said it will take at least two
months to provide 100000 uniforms.

PRETTY RACY STORIES

Told by Buffers Wife In the Trial of Her
Husband.
The trial OF Jesse R. Butler for assault
upon Annie Gable was continued in the
district court today. The defendant was
on the stand late yesterday afternoon
and his wife occupied the box this morn.
ing. She unblushingly told OF statements
made to her by Annie and Mary Gable
of assaults upon Annie by other men
than her husband. District Attorney
Patton got Mrs Butler in close box
when he began 10 pry into her ante
cedents. Prior to marrying Butler, she
said she worked at Georgetown, she
supposed" but failed to recall the name
of a single party Sor whom she had
worked. The district attorney did not
attempt to press the matter. He had
caused the witness to funk" in the pres
ence of the jury, to show loss of memory
whereas her memory was immense on
matters concerning the case IN hand, and
TO leave in the minds of the jury the i'm
preston that Mrs Buffers antecedents
would not stand much investigation.
This may or may not be true, but certain
it is that the impression the witness made
was bad for herself and the case. The
whole theory of the defense was that
Annie Gables reputation was bad and
it must be made as bad as possible. To
bolster up this theory impossible and
preposterous stories were put in the
mouths of witnesses, but the most lm'
probable of all was one unmentionable
story of Annies degradation told BY de-
fendant's wife.
The case went to the jury late this af.
ternoon.

MUSICAL LITERATURE.

An interesting literary feature in
this country of recent years has been
the development of a taste for read
ing and studying musical literature
among amateurs and musicians. 1t
is now demanded of the musician
that he be not only well grounded in
technical matters but he must also be
familiar with the history and criti-
cism of his profession.
The musical amateur also greatly
increases his enjoyment of music by
an acquaintance with the lives of
the composers and the various forms
of the art.
In this connection it is likely that
comparatively few of the thousands
of music lovers in the United States
are aware that the firm of Charles
Scribners Sons, New York, have
been the pioneers in such educational
musical work, and are probably the
largest dealers in musical literature
in this country.
They have just issued a new re-
vised and enlarged edition of their
Musical Literature List, which has
for years been recognized by musical
people all over the land as an invalu-
able reference list on the subject.
This new edition has been greatly
improved by carefully classified and
annotated lists of books in every de-
partment of music. 1t includes near
~ all books of any value on music in
the English language and is sent free
co any address upon application.

ciOus morsel.
Out on Long Island. up in the
northern counties of New York. all
through New Jersey, and in the
nearby New England and Pennsyl-
yania shooting grounds the birds are
plenty, and afford the llveliest sort
of sport to the huntsman who has
the necessary skill to fetch down the
wary bird of erratic flight.
Birds now in the market are as
plump and sweet as any feathered
tid-bit can be, and their plumage is
at its prettiest The frosty weather
to the north has set the birds to MI
grating, and until the ground here
about gets so hard that they cannot
poke their bills into the mud in
search of food, woodcock promise TO
be more plentiful than usual, judg-

hunters are securing. The season
for them will probably last four or
five weeks longer, unless an unpre-
