When and why was the term dough faces
used in American politics? ". I. y.
In 1898 the Democratic Representatives
from the Northern States decided in eau
Gus in favor of a resolution requiring all
petitions relating to slavery to be laid
upon the table without debate. This iden-
tilted the party as it then existed with
the slave-hOlding interest, and its North
ern Representative were stgmatiZed as
Dough Faces.

coming book, Lives of the Hunted"
which will doubtless be a source of con-
siderable speculation when the book is
offered to the public next month. The
puzzling feature of it is a great eye in a
mass of foliage darting arrows at a num-
Der Of animals under the trees. A right
hand, also in the foliage, points index and
little fingers at the eye. 1t was Mrs. Sc
ton-Thompson's idea, the eye represent

The Transvaal Mines.

 the Yaqui, is one of the largest and most valuable copper deposits in the Sierra Madre region, and the site is destined one day to be the seat of a great mine and reduction works. The location of the properties is about ten miles from Suaqui de Batuc. They are known as the traDsvaal and Preto- ria and they include l30 pertenencias of grouud-nearly square mile. The lodges, which are strong and well de- fined, can be traced readily distance greater than mile; they vary some what in width, and tests made from several show the ores to contain a high per centage in copper, some silver and a trace of gold. The higher grades of ore are copper glance, and the other qualities are malachite and and azarite.
 Five of the lodges have been tested, three by shafts sunk to depth of twenty feet upon two and fifteen feet upon the third, while the tests from the croppings the full width of the veins
 Upon the first vein an average sample Of 300 pounds from the crop pings, width of fifteen feet, gave an assay Of twelve per cent copper, one ounce in silver and trace in gold
 From twenty feet across the crop pings of the second vein an average sample of 300 pounds yielded an assay of fifteen per cent copper, five ounces in silver and trace of gold.
 Upon the third vein two shafts twenty feet deep have been sunk, ab ut twenty feet apart, upon oppo- site sides of the vein. The shafts are each six feet by six, and are in ore up- on all sides and in the bottoms, de- mnnstrating the ledge to be at least thirty feet wide. Assays from the sides and bottoms of the shafts aud across the croppings gave twelve per cent copper, seventeen ounces silver and trace of gold.
 There are also two shafts six by six feet twenty feet deep upon the fourth vein, the ledge being just the full width of the shaft. general sample across the bottom of each shaft gave an assay of fifteen per cent copper, six ounces in silver and d trace of gold.
 The fifth vein tested is but two and one half feet wide, and has shaft fifteen feet deep. An average sample across the vein gave assay of ten per cent copper.
 I'etween these veins described are others from two to six feet in width, the surface croppings of which yield assays of about twelve per cent in copper.
 From these veins chuaks of ore have been taken weighing between fifty and one hundred pounds that yielded ass dys of thirty eight per cent copper and fifty-five ounces in silver; and there are narrow streaks that went seventy per cent copper and ninety ounces in silver.
 These ores are very easily worked, as are all the copper ores of this re- zion. In fact there have been ores
  gions for more than two hundred ] years, and the church bells, copper kettles, etc, ln this pirt Of the world i were made from copper smelted from these ores in adobe smelters, with 1 cha arcoal, made from the oak and i mesquite timbers growing upon the 1 hills.

 Within five miles of these proper ties are undeveloped coal measures, and about fifty miles away are the Barranca coal fields, in course of de- velopment by the Southern Pacific Go. A railway from the Sonora rail- way to La Barranca will be construct ed in the near future, and the eyten- sion of the road from Placeritos south, which will pass near these properties, will also traverse the Barranca coal region.
 The Yaqui river but two and half miles away, will develop water power up to any required horse power and 1t can be transmitted to the mines, or wherever wanted, by electrical ap- pliances.
 The altitude of these properties is bout $500 feet They are owned by MT. Julian Moraga, who is willing to negotiate their sale to a company with the capital necessary to operate them upon scale commensurate with their importance and magnitude.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

play by Lincoln j. Carter, and is justly
considered by many to be his best The
scenes of 1.-THE Eleventh Hour" are
taken from the vicinity of Chicago and
are full of interest. During the third
act the working of the block system is
shown, just as used on all railroads.
The last act shows the drawing room Of
one of Chicago's multimillionaires, re-
produced from photographs of the orig
ina1. 1t is in this act that the terrific
struggle for life occurs While the two
men strive for mastery they break,
smash and seemingly destroy all the

furnishings 1t is certainly very excit-
ing. A matinee and a night perform

not few of which teach lessons that
husbands and wives can well profit by.

Vital Statistics Show an Alarming In
crease in an Already Prevailing
Disease-Are ANY Exempt?

At no time in the history of disease
has there been such an alarming in
crease in the number of cases of any
particular malady as in that of kidney
and bladder troubles now preying upon
the people of this country.
Today we see relative, a friend or
an acquaintance apparently well. and in
a few days we may be grieved to learn
of their serious Illness or sudden death,
caused by that fatal type of kidney
tfouble-Bright's disease
Kidney trouble often becomes adj
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted is aware of its presence: that
is why we read of SO many sudden
deaths of prominent business and pro-
fessional men, physicians and others.
They have neglected to stop the leak in
time
While scientists are puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each indi
vidual can, by a little precaution, avoid
the chances of contracting dreaded and
dangerous kidney trouble, or eradicate
it completely from their system if al
ready afflicted. Many precious lives
might have been, and many more can
yet be saved, by paying attention to the
kidneys.
1t is the mission of the Topeka State
Journal to benefit its readers at every
opportunity and therefore we advise ali
who have any symptoms of kidney or

FoReERs IN KANSAS CITY.
Large Numbers of Fraudulent Rail-
road Tickets Made There.

A gang of forgers of railroad tickets
has been operating in Kansas City sue
cessfully during the last few weeks, &C
cording to H G. Townsend. of St Louis.
general passenger agent of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway, who has been in
the city investigating the fraud with
the aid of George H. Foote, secretary
of the Kansas City, passenger bureau,
and J. A Stewart, general southwestern
passenger agent of the Rock Island. Mr..
Townsend said of the frauds:
THE losses of the western railroads
will amount to thousands of dollars.
There have been three classes of for
gerieS- Some days ago Mr.. FOOte dis
covered that bogus perforatfng stamp
had been used to initiate the stamp
that is used to mark tickets at the IN
ion depot The forgers tried in Chicago
to buy a stamp exactly like the one
that is used at the Kansas City Union
depot to stamp return ticket coupons,
but the manufacturers suspected some
thing was wrong and refused to sell it.
The forgers were not bafHed. They
bought a stamp that is used in banks
for perforating checks, changed the dies
from paid to * c. u. d. and have
used it on many forged tickets.
The second class of forgeries includ
ed conductors train checks. The bogus
ones are fairly good limitations of the
genuine ones, but they have smooth
edges instead of perforating. Wholesale
frauds have been committed by using
forged live stock contracts, which are
exchanged for tickets We have no
means of knowing how many bogus
live stock contracts and conduc-
tors train checks have been used. I
know that hundreds of fraudulent con-
tracts were printed here in Kansas
City. We have evidence to show that
a Kansas City broker knows something
about the forgeries- We have engaged
an additional force of detectives and
hereafter conductors will watch care
fully for forgeries- The Missouri Pa
cific has suffered severe losses; but
our road is only one Of many that has
been defrauded''
