LARGE MINING DEAL.
Philadelphia Capitalists Secure TO
Brown-Stemwinder Group
i'll Heath District.

Mr. f. Fairbairn and Mr.. Var
Meter, of Philadelphia returned from
the Heath district last week and con.
summated deal for the HEATH
Mining company, by which that com.
pany became the owner of the Brown.
otemwinder group, situated in this
district and Washington county.
Idaho.
Details OF the transaction are hard
to obtain, but we understand that q
large amount of development work
will be done this summer
The sale was negotiated by R. G.
Mckinney and K p. Hall of Weiser
who are the authorized agents for the
company in Idaho.
The company is very fortunate in
securing h. T. Woliston for SUPER
intendent, and he is already on the
property with force of men, who
viii be kept at work continuously
We understand the company will
soon let other contracts for work on
this property.
We have no doubt the Heath Min
ing Co. will be of great benefit to this
section, and more particularly the
Heath district, as it's capital is ample
and it's officers and directors are
business men of the highest standing
and lastly the property purchased is
one OF the very best in the Heath
district.

Morris, LATE Lansdon and Row Pat
terson of Weiser, Smith of Salubria
and Doc. Riggs travelling man, were
invited to join the three remaining
men of the Cambridge outfit, and
thus improvise a team for the oc-
casion. AS luck would have. the
Welser boys happened to have their
suits in their grips, where they had
left them after the last game they
had played Thus recruited the
game was called, with Lou Waters,
the Weiser catapult, as pitcher, and
Khea, who it is said is actually from
Cambridge, as catcher, and Frank
Smith Jr. well Unknown rooter, as
umpire, Weiser, Cambridge we
mean we got the first inning and
made four home runs for starter.
Somewhat discouraged, Council came
to the bat and the way they famed
the air was fright to see They
had never seen balls thrown from a
catapult before. They did not come
within foot and a half of a ball
during the inning, and thus it went
until the fifth inning when Lou
tossed over an easy one to Bert Darn
all to see if he could hit it, and he
did, and the wind which was blowing
hurricane blew it way off in the
rocks and brush and he made a home
run amid the bewildering applause
and deafening shrieks of the Coun
Gil boosters. The first half of the
nth inning was then played when
Council threw up the sponge saying
she couldn't play the earth. The
game was much enjoyed by all
present, not less by the good people
OF Council and their game ameteur
ball team than by the others. At
3 O'Clock all were on board for the
return trip, when to the music of the
footing whistle, the changing bell of
old 100 and the sweet strains of the
Weiser band, the best satisfied crowd
of excursionists that ever went any,
where pulled out for home. All we're
profuse in their thanks to Manager
Shelby for the splendid outing at
such reasonable price; only dollar
INN half from Weiser TO Council
md return, just one fourth the re-
yular fair. In addition to this liberal
concession in the way of fare, the
oand boys, numbering fourteen, were
carried free Of charge. Nothing of
IN unpleasant nature occurred on the
rip and nothing was said or done to
mar the pleasure of anyone. Coun-
ell IS preparing for rousing Fourth
of July celebration, and as it's good
people 10 nothing by halves, all who
attend may confidently count on
good time. The Signal, speaking for
The liberal management of the P. &
|. A., promises another excursion on
that occasion that will prove equally
IS much success as the one lust
enjoyed.

Heavy RainfnIls.

Exceptionally heavy raanfalls often occur, sometimes with disastrous eff fleets. For periods of five minutes rain falls have occurred at Bismarck. IN. D., at the rate of nine inches per hour, at Jacksonville, Fla, at the rate of seven inches, and at Galveston, Tex, at the rate of 6h inches. In periods of so minutes rain has fallen at these three stations at the rate of over two inches per hour; at Galveston at the rate ot 2A inches. One inch of rainfall is equiv alent to 27,154 gallons of 226 ,0oo pounds on each and every acre of the wetted area. Rainfall at the rate of nine inches per hour represents 8 fall of s. soc pounds, or 4.o73 g Illons, per min ute per acre. In five minutes, such rainfall would cover each area of four square miles with 51, 100000 gallons-a quantity much in excess of the daily consumption of the city of Washing ton.-Washington Star.

 While Mr Mckinley is racking ms brains to try to satisfy the demands of the republican bosses for patronage, American interests in China are III q fair way to suffer. According to late advices from Pekin, the other powers are considering the advisability or quietly pushing the United States out Of the Chinese question by ignoring it in future negotiations. If the Unit ed States should be pushed out or the Chinese diplomatic door, what would become of the s'open door, to Ameri- can trade in China? MT Mckinley may find the filling ofga few offices q more important question than this IS, but when he hears from the American people he will discover what a mis- take he has made, but unfortunately that discovery will not restore the American trade with China, which is now, in the opinion of those most com petent to judge. in jeopardy.

Representative Stevens, of Minne- sota, who has recently been in Cupa, has given the annexation-or-bust men hard nut to crack by calling atten- ton to the fact that Cuba can produce sugar at little more than half the cost of producing American beet sugar and for a great deal less than cane sugar can be produced by our south- ern planters, and that it can produce enough of it to supply the market in this country, which means, in his opin- ion. that the annexation of Cuba woulu at once kill the entire sugar industry both cane and beet, of this country He is opposed to either annexation or an American protectorate.>

EMBARRASSING IN BED.
A Practice Highly Recommended in Many Cases of Nervous COm-
 pIafnt and Exhaustion.

When the ordinary woman tells or taking her breakfast in bed she tells it apologetically The statement is in the nature of confession. And for that reason we have come to as- sociate with the practice named a spirit of laziness.
 To the woman who has her coffee or chocolate and rolls brought to her before she arises there is solid sat isfaction in the news that good many New York physicians are grad ually committing themselves to the habit. In fact, they advise break fasting in bed in many cases Of nerv- ous complaint.
 The idea seems to be that rest is the agency most necessary to bring about return of health in nervous temperaments. The woman who worries over her household affairs and suddenly finds herself on the verge of breakdown is the woman to whom the rest cure. is being pre- scribed. The doctors do not tell her to entirely discontinue her work around the house. As a matter of fact, they assure her that such a cessation would do her more harm than good. Therefore she is advised to ease up bit in her daily labors; to do a greatly reduced part of her work.
 In addition to this she is counseled to take much sleep. "Go to bed at nine o'clock" say some physicians, s'and do not get up until after break fast. Have your maid bring the break fast tray into your bedroom; eat grain foods and drink plenty of milk It is a general rule to drink, three quarts of milk a day. Eat little meat, if you wish to, but take it in the middle of the day, giving it plen. l ty of time to be digested. Get out 1 in the open air and walk about bit but do not tire yourself by overex 1 ertion. Take a short time off twice day and resign yourself to rest"
 This isn't very complicated pre-. scription, but fiat least has the merit of simplicity.-Kansas City Times.

Speaking of this country's ability ln the bridge building line, a magazine writer says that the disinclination of European managers to invest in new appliances has become an old story, but nothing short of a personal visit to the works can disclose the amazing methods still in vogue in France, Eng land, and, in a much lesser degree, in Germany. The manufacture and erec- ton Of bridges resolves itself largely into a "Handling Proposition" Much as could be said of the convenient and substantial character of American ma- chine tools, the. first problem that presses for solution is that of handling pieces weighing many tons, from one tool to another. And this problem properly solved insures not only an i'm mense reduction in the shop labor, but brings with it an increased output, as against which the general and of flee expense remain nearly stationary.
 
 out doubt, the most potent individual factor in the success of American shops, next to which would mention the application of electric motors for driving single or grouped machines, doing away with shafting or belts, which interfere with the operation of travelling cranes, and, at the same time, enabling tools to be placed in such positions that long pieces can generally be kept parallel with the di- rection of the general shop travel. In | the French shops visited, handling was done entirely by main strength and awkwardness, not a single travel l ing crane being in evidence. Nor was 1 there a single tool that would not be consigned to the scrap pile in the United States. English shops are somewhat in advance of this state, and while in Germany the nearest ap- proach to American practice is found, l the scale of expenditure for equipment is much reduced. There is one other 1 element of American success-that is, the ability of American railroads to handle long and heavy pieces. As 9 result, American designers enjoy great latitude as to dimensions of single members making up a bridge, and this in turn has it's effect on the design of bridge shops, which are suited to handle. pieces weighing in some in- stances as high as eighty-fve tons, and other pieces such as plate girders hay | ing a length of one hundred and twen- ty ASe or more.

RUNS A MEAT MARKET.
Unique Business Venture of a Roch- .---8 ester (N. Y.) Girl Who Had te
 Earn a Living.

Rochester furnishes unique ex- ample of the modern woman. She is Miss D. E. Stevenson. who has opened a butcher shop at the cor ner of Plymouth avenue and Grieg streets, and has succeeded in estab- fishing one of the leading retail meat stores of the city.
 Miss Stevenson does all the reg ular work of a butcher except the slaughtering, and in order to com plete her education is even willing to attempt that. She does all her own buying, cutting, weighing, etc, attends to the selling at the store and keeps her own, books. She has only one employe, lad who delivers the orders.
 The fair knight of the saw and cleaver is modest, unassuming lit tie woman, 2s years of age, slightly below the average height and with physique not at all notable for robustness.
 She comes of an excellent family, has good social connections and has had the advantage of a frst-class education. Tact, rare administrative powers and splendid conversational faculty has been the main factor in her success in this novel enterprise. The aristocratic friends who knew Miss Stevenson in the days when she never gave thought to the possibil- ity of having to earn her own living have not deserted her., now that changed conditions have forced her into business. Instead, they have ral- lied to her support, and as conse- ouence the charming butcher not only enjoys the patronage of the best and weal.hiest families of Rochester ] but she is also welcome guest al their homes.
 Winter and summer sne is always to be found at the store; she herself opens up izl the morning, in white; time at 6:30 ard in summer at six o'clock. She dons a dainty white apron, takes up her place behind the counter and from morn till night busies herself catering to the wants of her various customers.
 She yields cleaver and uses a saw and knife with all the strength and facility of man. In a rush il is amusing to watch her at work
 She is full of hustle, activity and de. cision, and every action denotes the
 utmost confidence.
