SUED BY MRS. MkINLEY.
Presidents Wife Seeks to Protect Her
Interests in a Nevada Mine.

Ely, New, July 24.-Suit has been
begun in the United States court at
Carson by Mrs. Ida Mckinley and Mrs.
Mary B. Barber against John Steele,
William Hayes and others to recover
possession of the Elijah mine, one of
the patented claims of the Canton Min
ing company, on which the defendants
are operating, and also for $4,000
damages for ore taken out and shipped
by the defendants during the period
of their occupany of the mine Steele
is the owner of the Macon City mine
adjoining the Elijah and denies that
he has extracted ore from the patent
ed claim, all his working being well
within his own lines
When President Mckinley visited
the coast he had the manager of the
Canton Mining company visit him in
San Francisco and report on several
of the Canton companys mines, large
interest in which Mrs. Mckinley inner
tied from her father. 1t was decided
then to develop the mines and this
suit was brought to define the limits
of the Elijah mine and prevent what
they regard as appropriation of it's ore.

HOLDS DROUGHT DUE TO SIN.
Pastor at Galesburg Says Misfortunes
Are Intended as Punishment,

Galesburg. H., July 24.-In his SER
mon Sunday night the Rev. o. c. Bed
ford said he would hail the time when
there would be a greater drought than
this, provided it resulted in the CON
version of souls. The present drought.
he thought, was sent to turn the peo-
pie from their sins and cause them to
pray. He held that in some respects
the people of the day are more wicked
than those of any other period in the
history of the country, and in proof
cited the disregard of the Sabbath the
discontinuance of family prayers. and
the loss of the power of the church
The people have SO many good things
and such abundance, he said, that they
do not feel the need Of God at ALL In
taking away the grain. God is leading
the people to pray. The shipping Of
all cattle and the failure of the crops
will give the people time to pray

first day lemonade was served. Every
man wanted to get his moneys worth,
and drank SO much that Superintend-

themselves ill. He shut off their
drinks and strike resulted. Work
was stopped yesterday, and as this is

costing the company considerable
money.

FUTURE PRICES.

We are asked how long present payt
ing prices for farm products will ba
likely to continue. Prices for what tha
farmer raises and has to sell are based
wholly upon the demand for such
produce; this demand comes partially
from other lands and mostly from this
nonproducers Of our own country.
Good prices imply ability Of the con-.
sumer to buy, and he is able to buy
only as he is sure Of steady and prof.
table employment. Just so long as
mine, factory and railway are running
on full time and paying good wages
to employees just SO long will the
farmer receive good prices for what he
has to sell. If the country is wise
enough to avoid rushing into a 'period
of crazy speculation and Undated val<
ues-just keeps up the pre- ut steady
and prosperous gait-there 1s no prose
pect Of any marked decline from presd
ent prices Of farm produce.

DEWEY NAY HEAD THE COURT
Announced That the Hero of Manila
Already Practically Agreed Upon
for the place-other Members Not
- chosen-To Sit in Washington.

Washington,J July 24-Secretary Long
has received a letter from Admiral
Schley asking for a court of inquiry.
Nothing beyond this announcement
: has been made public.
In the letter to Secretary Long,
Schley does not specify any of the
criticisms to which he takes exception.
but asks: In view of the statements
the innuendoes and the abusive Ian
guage contained in MacClay's history,
which he says, he does not consider
worthy of use in any college of the
country, that court of inquiry of the
entire matter" be held. He also asks
that the court shall sit in Washington
where his papers are stored. Long
replied to the letter saying: Under
the circumstances" he heartily ap-
proves Schley's course and the depart
ment will act favorably upon Schley's
request. 1t is stated that Admiral
Dewey undoubtedly will be the head
of the court of inquiry. The other
members of the court have not yet
been decided upon. 1t is not the in
tention of Secretary Long to have the
court convened at once, but will wait
until the weather becomes cooler. +.
The order for the court of inquiry
will not be issued until tomorrow
Maclay Interviewed.

of the United States navy said today:
1T is the proper course for Schley to

I only means of vindication. After this
court has determined upon his case,
then he can bring suit. 1t is needless
for me to comment further upon
Schley's record

LONGITUDE A HUNDRED.

We are in receipt of several inquiries
as to the wisdom of investing in cheap
lands which lie bordering the line Of
longitude 100 degrees west and latitude
from AZ to 46 north. If we correctly
understand the topography, rainfall
and climatic conditions of the territory
referred to-and we think that we do,
for we have examined the land and the
conditions personally-we are firmly
of the opinion that agriculture the
growing of the common cereal crops Of
the country and its grasses and roots
as practiced in all the older settled por.
tons of the country is not. taking Sc.
ries of years, safe business PROPOSE
ton. The country has its uses, but
they are not in the line indicated.
There are just two conditions which
are constantly liable to defeat mans
best work in the effort to raise crop
an uncertain and deficient rainfall and
the hot winds from the southwest, to
which may be added incidentally a
greater liability to loss by hail than in
any other section of the country. The
soil is exceedingly fertile and respon-
sive, but the drawbacks referred to are
normal attribute of that section and
such as will never be modified or re-
moved by settlement and the cultiva-
ton of the soil. This country Is one OF
the best sheep sections in the United
States. 1t is also a good cattle country.
and fine horses can be raised there.
and its uses lie on these lines. The VAL
Tie Of these lands must therefore be-
based upon what they may be worth
for these purposes, bearing in mind
the fact that if one acre will pasture a.
COW in the luxuriant blue grass mead
ows of Iowa it will take good deal
more than one acre to keep the same
cow in the territory mentioned. We
cannot undertake to say what such
lands are worth for these stock growl
ing purposes further than to say that
an acre of blue grass in Iowa or Illit
nois is worth not less than $50 as pas-
ture land. 1t should be said that theirs
will come seasons, like the present one,
when the rainfall will be ample and
when splendid crops Of all the cereala
may be raised, as will be done thtG
year, and it is possible that improved
methods of cultivating the soil will be-
discovered and adopted whereby the
moisture and rainfall will be better
conserved, but the ample rainfall 81
the exception, and 1t is pretty hard to-
conserve moisture when there is none
to conserve. Summing up, we would
say if such lands are bought 1t should
be on their value as stock ranges and
not as grain producing lands. !

PUTS TAX ON coNvEYANcEs.
Property Valued Above $4,000 Must
Pay the Government.

Washington, July 24.-Commission-
er of Internal Revenue Yerkes has de-
cided in the matter of the rate of tax
on conveyances, where the considera-

be deducted from the value of all con-

the $4,000 would be taxable at the rate
OF 25 cents for each $500 or fractional
part thereof
