The Nampa Leader contains the
following concerning the newly dis
covered oil fields:
The excitement incident to the
recent discovery of oil on Snake
river, few miles from Nampa, has
by no means died down. All parties
who have examined the same have
great faith in the oil possibilities OF
that section. All week strangers
from this and adjoining states have
been arriving and departing at once
for the oil fields to put down stakes
Hundreds of claims are now takeI
and important discoveries made il
adjoining places.

According to present railway
methods the advance in the price Of
farm products or any other products
for that matter, is Of nominal i'm
portance to tue producer, for the
freight rates are raised in proportion
to the advance in prices, for instance
ssSan Francisco, April 2. To-day
the pr1ce of transportation Of hops
from all western points to eastern
markets was raised. Some time ago
an emergency rate WAS made Of 81 so
per 100 pounds from the Pacific
coast to all eastern cities, on account
Of the prevalent low price of the
product Since then hops have
raised in price, and the old rate OF
81 per 100 pounds has been estab-
lisbed This return to the old rate
has been approved by all railroads
doing Pacific coast business.
As usual Jones pays the freight.

Ex-sECKETARY EvARTs DEAD.
Passes Away as Result of an Attack of
Pneumonia.

New York, March William NJ.
Evarts died at his home in this city
yesterday. Mr.. Evarts' death was
caused by pneumonia. For several
years past he had been without the
use of his eyes and was otherwise so
feeble that he was unable to leave
his home.
William NJ. Evarts was born in Bos-
ton, Mass, February 6, 1915, gradual
ed at Yale in 1887, and was admitted
to the bar in New York in 1s41. In
1851, while assistant district attor-
ney in New York city, he successfully
conducted the prosecution of the Gu
ban filibusters concerned in the Cleo
patra expedition. His able and sue
ccssful handling of other celebrated
cases, some of national character,
soon earned for him wide reputa-
ton. In the republican national con-
vention of 1860 he proposed the name
of VIM. II. Seward for president.
In 1868 President johnson chose him
chief counsel in the impeachment
trial and from July Is, 1868, until the
close of Johnson's administration hs
was attorney general of the Unitell
States. He acted as counsel for the
United States before the tribunal of
arbitration on the Alabama claims in
1872 and was senior counsel for Henry
Ward Beecher in the famous trial of
1875. During the administration of
President Hayes he was secretary of
state. From 1885 until a few years
ago he was United States senator
from New York.

NO CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM.
Present Omcers win Continue to Rule
the Philippines.

Washington, March 4.-Following
close upon the approval of the army
appropriation bill, containing the
amended Spooner proposition for a
provisional government in the Phil
ippines, the president will issue an
executive order designating General
Macarthur and all the other officials
o. the present military government
as the persons to administer "all mil
itary, civil and judicial powers neces-
sary to govern the Philippines" In
other words, the existing government
will continue under new designa-
ton of authority from the president
until agreements can be made for the
establishment of civil government
and for maintaining and protecting
the inhabitants of said islands in the
free enjoyment of their liberty, prop
erty and religion" The president will
act in the line indicated simply as q
precaution against possible legal or
international complications. A gen.
eral plan of civil government has been
formulated by the secretary of war
and referred to the Philippine COM
mission for it's consideration. 1t will
be for the president to determine
when and how the new government
shall be inaugurated. 1t seems to be
settled that Judge Taft will be the
first civil governor of the Philippines,
and that General Chaffee will have
command of the military forces.

MISUNDERSTANDING CORRECTED.
No Dissatisfaction with Minister Con-

gers Action at Peking.
Washington, March IA misunder-
standing appears to exist in Euro
pean capitals as to the conditions
under which Mr.. Conger was replaced
at Picking by Mr.. Rockhill, in charge
of the negotiations for the United
States. The impression seems to have
gained currency that the change was
made by the state department be-
cause of dissatisfaction with Mr.. Con-
gers action.
1t is said at the department that
Mr.. Conger was relieved at his own
request, and his cable message of
last week strongly urged that he be
allowed to come home for sixty days,
not intimating any purpose on his
part to remain longer in the United
States.
In the same message Mr.. Conger
recommended that Mr.. Rockhill be
charged with the conduct of the ne
gotiations, and in so directing the
state department has done moth
ing more than to carry out the re-
quest of Mr.. Conger.
The leave of absence of sixty days
will really cover more than double
that period of time for the leave. only
operates when the minister reaches
the confines of the United States, and,
according to the regulations, he is
allowed thirty-five days to make the
journey from Picking to his home,
and as much time for the return trip.
AS it is not expected that he will
be able to get away form Picking.
owing to the ice, much before the
middle of March, he could not be ex-
pected to return to his post. even

DOUBLE TRAGEDY NEAR pENIsoN
farmer Kills Son. Burns Property and
Dies In the Flames.


Denison, March 2.-Henry warn, a
farmer living six miles north of Den
ison, during a fit of insane fury, kill
ed and cremated his son William,
burned his house, barn, horses, cat
tie, grain and all his farm implements
and 81 500 in cash and then committed
suicide by rushing into the burning
barn and dying among the horses.
The deed was committed about Q
O'Clock yesterday morning, and sew
eral neighbors, seeing the smoke,
rushed to the rescue, only to be driv-
en- back by Warn at the point of a
revolver. Warn then went on with
his awful work, and when help did
arrive, it was too late to save either
Warn, his son, or any considerable
amount of the property.
The crime was executed with fiend-
ing cunning. He shot his son and
dragged the body into the barn. The
animals were securely tied and fas-
tened to prevent their escape from
the flames. The farm waterworks
were dstroyed, and coils of wire
were placed against the hog house
tc prevent them from getting out.
The body of Warn was found in
the barn after the fire had died ont,
ch2rred beyond recognition. All tho
flesh was burned away, as was the
top of the skull and the limbs.
Warn was well-to-do, and it is saio
he had more than $500 in cash in
the house, which undoubtedly was
destroyed. He was a man of over 81
and had lived in this county for NOR
than twenty-five years.
His son, william, of whose body
NO trace has been found, was 81 year,
of age. Warn also has two daughters
both of whom are married. His wifi
died several years ago. He was of
morose and surly disposition, and hi,
neighbors evidently were in fear @
him. He was a German and spok,
but little English.

ZIG ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
One Is Planned to Connect Charles City
with Des MONIES.


Des Moines, March 1-Tbe new cleo
trio railroad for which a company
with S150,000 capital was organized
few days ago in Charles City, seems
to be n very ambitious enterprise.
The organization as it is being per-
fected by S. l.. Kern of Charles City
and George w. Dawson of Waterloo
is only a small port of the plans the
company has under consideration
The new company expects to come
into Des Moines with it's electric
line, and the company, when fully or
ganized, will have a backing that will
render it easy to float the bonds to
carry the gigantic deal to completion.
Messrs. Kern and Dawson, the promo
tiers of the scheme, claim to have the
hest of assistance. They are moder-
ately wealthy men themselves and
have promoted a number of big deals
that have been paying investments
and have the confidence of capitalists.
They number in their present back
ing n considerable amount of capital
il. Des Moines.
The proposed route of the new road
is in jumps of ten to twenty miles
from Charles City to Greene, then
south through Allison, Parkersburg,
Grundy Center, Conrad, Marshall
town, Van Cleve or Laurel, and then
to Newton, where the Charles City
line will meet that being proposed by
the Cleveland syndicate in which a
large number of people are interested.
None of the cities named have north
and south lines except Marshalltown.
and the scheme is one of the most
plausible ever brought out in the way
of an electric line. The plan is simply
the operation of series of local
railways. Between each of the towns
mentioned there are number of in
land towns that would welcome a
railroad and will pay handsomely to

Friends Of Mrs. w. H. Doty are very
much pleased to notice the wonderful

eighteen years she has been sufferer
from rheumatism, and the torture she
has endured during this time is past
all description. Mrs. Doty tells the
following story:
II have suffered for the past eighteen
years with Kidney Trouble and Rheu-

medicines, plasters, liniments, electric
treatments. and nothing did me any
good. I had nearly lost all faith in
anything, when sent for six boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I said to my hus-
band expected that 1t was some more
money thrown away. but when I had
taken them week could see that
they were helping me. The lameness
l had suffered with for so long Is near
ly all gone. 1t is not quarter as bad
as 1t was. For years had to wear
warm bandage around my forehead
to prevent the pain. Since using the
Pills have been able to remove this
altogether.
II cannot find words to express my
heartfelt thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills
for their wonderful cure Of my case.
My husband has suffered from Kidney
Trouble for years. Last spring doc
tor said he had Bright's Disease, and
treated him, but he received no benefit,
and he kept growing thinner and
weaker all the time. When got Dodd's
Kidney Pills he commenced taking
four day. He has taken them three
months and is nearly well. His
strength Is increased. and the improve
ment in his case is almost miraculous.

After Long Illness.

Well Known Atlantic Man Passes Away
After Long Illness.
Atlantic, March 4.-Major III. G. Cur
lis died here Friday evening. Major
Curtis was prominently identified
with the establishment of a new gov
eminent in Porto Rico, serving as
member of the Porto Rican commits
sion appointed by President McKin-
ley in February, 1899. The service of
Major Curtis was more particularly
directed to the legal phase of the
question in which he made exhaustive
researches.
While in Porto Rico, Mr.. Curtis con-
tracted malarial fever, which eventu-
ally undermined his health. After re-
turning to Washington the commits
sion concluded its work of formulat-
ing code of laws and was dis
charged. Major Curtis returned home
last June in hopes of regaining the
strength he had lost. While he i'm
proved somewhat, it was not lasting
improvement and for the past month
he had been failing.
