The kendrick smelter is going to
prove big thing for this county.
This much has already been demon
strated, although considerable bad
luck in the way of delays and break
age has interrupted work the past 80
days. The recent strike in the COM

stimulus. and the promoters of the en-
terprise are in high glee
There is considerable talk among
the people of Silverton and San Juan
county, especially mill men, over the
proposed action of Durango in CON
nection with water supply. The
advice of the Democrat to continue
Animas river water and II necessary
stop pollution by enjoining the town
of Silverton and the mills of the coun-
ty, is not taken seriously, although
there is much feeling against the
sheet that advocates the stoppage of
such important industries to gratify
personal feeling. There is already
too much friction between the people
of Siiverton and Durango, and the
position of the Democrat Is adding
-uel to the flames. One mining man
'emarked that if Durango desired to
ut her own throat, let even one in
unction be started. But as before
tated, those best informed do not
axe the proposition seriously.

Pie SIOwness of Starvation.

During a prolonged fast the loss of
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes on. Death
ensues when a certain percentage Of
the loss has been reached, and this per-
centage varies according to the origi-
nal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps two
fifths. A man or woman of rather
spare build weighing 143 pounds
might, therefore, lose about IS pounds
before succumbing. Children die after
a fast of from three to five days, dur
ing which they have lost quarter of
their weight. Healthy adults, however,
have tasted so days when water has
been taken. A German physician re-
ports the case of woman aged Al
years who tasted for 43 days, taking
water freely. She lost A pounds out
of 143 pounds and died from exhaus-
ton.

Gas for me-" said M. Flammarion,
speaking of the inhabitants Of Mars in
The National Magazine, II rather envy
them-a land where it is always beau
tiful, where there are neither tempests
nor cyclones, where the years are twice
as long as ours, where the kilogram Is
of 376 grams and where, therefore, men
and women who here weigh 70 kilos
there weigh only 26, and where, in a
word, everything is lighter, more deli
cate and more refined"
And in another place he goes fur
ther, pointing out that if the Martians
wished to communicate with us they
would have doubtless made the effort
many times in the past and probably
long ago abandoned it, deciding it a
hopeless business to attempt commune
cation with a planet SO stupid.

pigeons Nests.

A curious preference of certain pi-
geons for the use of metallic objects in
building their nests is noted by M.
Maurice Dusolier in The Revue Scien-
tifuue. He assures us that several
pairs of these birds that he has observ-
ed in Paris have raised their young in
articles they collected in the paths of
the Luxembourg. The young pigeons
grew up normally as they would in a
softer nest. NJ. Dusolier believes that
there is useful suggestion in this for
pigeon fanciers, who are often over
anxious, he thinks, to see that their
charges have soft material for their
nests.

THUGS HOLD UP A TRAIN
And Get Away with Booty Valued at from
Thirty to Fifty Thousand Dollars.


Grand Forks, Mont, July 5.-Train
No. 3, west-bound on the Great North
ern, was held up about POP p. m.
Wednesday at Wagner Station, 1876
miles west of this place, by three
masked men, who blew open the ex
press car, using dynamite, and Sc
cured the entire contents of the
through express safe, estimated at
5000 to $4,000. One of the robbers
boarded the train a few miles from
the scene of the hold-up. When the
train reached the place where his con-
federates were lying in wait, in a ra-
vine alongside the track, he pulled the
bell cord, and as the train slowed down
jumped to the engine, and presenting
a rifle forced the fireman and engineer
to abandon their engine
AS the passengers began to look out
of the windows a fusillade of shots
swept longside the coaches and was
continued several minutes. Dynamite
was quickly exploded in the express
car, tearing the car to pieces, and the
through safe was blasted open and it's
contents removed, after which the rob-
hers mounted good horses and rode
away to the Bad Lands. A posse is in
pursuit, but capture is improbable.
Three passengers who ventured to
look out of the windows in the day
coach were struck by bullets, but not
seriously injured

Wellington on one occasion started,
Sir Herbert Maxwell tells us, at a. m.s'
rode to a place % miles distant, here,
held a review and was back at the.
place from which he had started for
dinner between and 3 p. m, says
Goodwin Smith in The Atlantic. He
galloped 26 miles and back to see
whether damage had been done to a
pontoon train. He rode II miles in two
hours from Freneda to Ciudad Rodrigo,
where he dined, gave a ball and sup
ped, was in the saddle again at 3 a. m.
galloped back to Freneda by 6 and was
doing business again at noon. He rose
regularly at 6 and wrote till and after
dinner wrote again from till II.
1t must be essential to every general
and indeed to every man who is bear
ing a heavy load Of anxious business to
be good sleeper. Napoleon was first
rate sleeper; so was Pitt; so was
Brougham; so was MI. Gladstone; so
was Wellington.
At Salamanca Wellington, having
given his order for the battle, said to
his .aid-de-camp: 'Watch the French
through your glass, Fitz Roy. am
going to take rest. When they reach
that copse near the gap in the hills,
wake me-" Then he lay down and was
fast asleep in a minute. In the midst
of the critical operations before Water
loo, feeling weary, he laid himself
down, put newspaper over his face
and took a nap.

train, showed unmistakeable evidences
of her recent severe illness in the thin
ness and pallOr of her face, but she
moved with alacrity from the carriage,
and boarded the train without any
material assistance. There was a con-
siderable number of people at the sta
ton, mostly ladies, who came to see
the party depart.

The steeple of st. Mary's church was
struck and the slate shingles on one
side torn off. st. Johns Polish

THE CONQUEST OF KOREA.
Japanese Legend of Emperor Chuai
and His Valiant Wife.

and His Valiant Wife.
Seventeen centuries ago the Japanese
Emperor Chuai was playing his lutte
in the presence of his wife and prime
minister. Whether on account of the
music or from some other cause, the
empress became inspired with a divine
affiatus and began to utter the thoughts
put into her mind by the deity. ''There
is a land to the westward" she ex-
claimed, "and in that land is album
dance of treasure gold and silver, daz-
zling to look upon. This land I will
now bestow upon you
The emperor pushed away his lutte.
eff you go up to a high place and look
toward the west" said he, there is no
land to be seen, but only the great wa
tiers. They are lying spirits who have
spoken to YOU
Then the good god was filled with
anger, and again he moved the empress
to prophesy. "You are not fit," she
said, ito rule this empire. Go the one
roadr'
But the prime minister trembled
when he heard these words and said to
his master: II am troubled, my heaven
ly sovereign, by this terrible message.
Continue, 1 pray, to play the august
Lutte"
The Emperor Chuai commenced to
play softly. Gradually the sound died
away; all was still. They held light
to his face and saw that he was dead.
But the empress put herself at the
head Of her fleet, invaded the land of
gold and silver with her warriors and
soon made the three kingdoms of Ko-
rea tributary to Japan.
These things happened, we are told,
in the year POI A. D., and the story Of
the valiant empress is as familiar to a
Japanese as is that of Boadicea to our
seives.-Nineteenth Century.

MURDER IN CHILD'S DEATH
Wealthy Sawmill Owner Accused of Kill

Fort Wayne, Ind, July 9.-Charles
Dunn, a wealthy sawmill owner, aged
Co. was placed under arrest on the
charge of murder. A week ago Alice
Ccthrell, aged 10 years, disappeared.
She lived at Wallen, this county, four
doors from Dunn's home.
The Huntertown Detective associa-
ton searched the cistern at Dunn's
home Sunday afternoon and found the
body. The coroner thought that the
remains did not look as if death re-
suited from drowning. After the Sc
cret inquest held all day Coroner Bar
nett ordered the arrest of Dunn anc
he is now in Jail. There is evidence
OF attempted strangulation and the
cistern is so constructed as to preclude
the theory of accident.
