Suicide.

Coroner Lewis was summoned to
Johnson's ranch, about 8 miles south
west of town, Wednesday, to hold an
inquest on the body of John Bowes,
who FILLED himself Wed. morning,
The testimony introduced before the
coroner's jury showed that the de-
ceased had been suffering from mel
ancholia for some time and that it
was caused by the contemplated sale
of the Johnson ranch, which he was
working on shares. About eight
O'CLOCK Tuesday evening he took a
single barrel shot gun and placed the
butt in the sand and the muzzle to his
left breast and touched the trigger
with a whip and the entire charge of
shot entered the body just to the left
of the heart, causing instant death.
The deceased has been a resident of
this locality for about fifteen years
and was at n time employed at the
Elkhorn coal sheds at this place. He
had no relatives but a brother who
is still in England. from which coun-
try the deceased came when young.
He was about 40 years old and leaves
considerable property, the result of
yea RS of hard toll and economy. The
jury rendered the following verdict:
At an inquisition holden at John
sons ranch, in Cherry county, on the
9th day of April, A. D. 1902, before
re, Alfred Lewis, prone of said
county, upon the body of John Bowes,
lying dead, by the said jury, whose
names are hereto subscribed, tn said
Jury upon their Oaths do say that the
said John Bowes came to his death
from a gunshot wound while Temporal
lily insane, inflicted by himself. In
testimony whereof the said jurors
have hereunto set their hands the day
and year aforesaid.

After giving the subject much thought
the attorney general has decided that
he don't know whether or not the
United States is violating the neutral
ity laws in allowing England to buy
munitions of war and maintain recruit

has evidently been prepared to suit the
attitude of the administration.

THE IRRIGATION BILL
COMING UP THURSDAY

The irrigation bill. in which the peo
pie of the west are so vitally interested
will in all probability be reached
next Thursday. the understanding be
ing that the Pacific cable bill will occu
py the attention of the house next
Tuesday and Wednesday.
1t is expected that Mr.. Mondell q!
Wyoming, who has been one OF the
most active forces in favor of an ir
rigation measure. will control the time
for the friends OF the measure. while
Judge Ray of New York. who filed a
minority report. will probably direct
the opposition.
From a careful and conservative
canvass OF the house it seems safe to
assume that the bill will pass by a
large majority. although four months
ago this would have been impossible.
Among those who will speak in favor
of the measure are Terrell and Powers
of Massachusetts. Littlefield of Maine
Cooper Of Wisconsin, Tawrey of Min
Eesota and Sperry of connecticut
From the south there will he Under

The New York habit of taking ev-
everything as it comes applies to eat
ing as well as to weather. says a met
ropolitan newspaper writer. II rents

should growl a little and-pay them.
II beef were 81 a pound there would
be a demand for 1t. II theater tickets
were put up to 81 apiece the temples
of amusement would be filled nightly.
Where does all the money come from?
How do they get 1t? There must be
hundreds OF thousands of residents OF
this city living at the rate OF s.. 900
to 10000 a ear Every new house
that is built is an Improvement on
the Old one built before It, and the
cost of land and material Is advanc-
ing all the time. Up go the rents n
in flock people to pay them. 1t seems
that for every rebellious tenant
driven Out by excessive charges there
are five to TAKE his place. The motto
OF New Workers as a class is: olive

The origin Of pearls has been a sub
ject of much speculation. About l5U
years ago Philippi OF Turin announced
that a living organism forms the nu-
cleus. and in a recent investigation
NJ. Ralph Duvois. a French naturalist.
has shown that all pearls found in a
common pearl-bearing moliusk are
cysts inclosing distomes-small ma
rine worms In the month OF August,
when few pearls are obtained, the
tiny young distomes. a fiftieth OF an
inch in diameter. are to be seer in
stead as reddish yellow points. These
become gradually coated with carbon
ate OF lime, in an early stage appear
ing as black specks and later as bril-
liant pearls. which remain until the
following summer. when they drop to
pieces. and the parasite resumes activ-
ity and reproduces its kind. But II
the parasite dies the crust continues
to grow. a large and beautiful pearl
being but the sarcophagus OF q long
dead worm.

GOLD IN NICARAGUA.
MUCH MONEY STILL BEING TAKEN
FROM PLACER MINES.
Climate Conditions Are by no Means
Unfnvorabls II Ordinary Care 10 Taken
Almost Any Stream la the Country
Can lie Worked with 'FRONT.'.

One a is reported to have panned
from Nicaragua placer mines no less
than s25O.UOO in four years. or an aver
aeg of over So 900 a year. This Is q
better salary than that obtained by the
president of the United States. Quartz
mines are being worked and these are
reported to assay from $50 to 81 800 to
the ton. Opal mines abound and yield
the brilliant fire opal. Water Is plen-
THU and is the chief means OF trans
portation. and being right at hand is
convenient for working 10Th placer
mines and stamp mills. says the Gal
weston News.
Nicaragua is known to the world as
a banana and cocoanut producing
country. together with rubber and
other sid products that have made
fortunes for enterprising Americans
with a little capital. Gold is a new
feature comparatively. and il the
country proves as rich as indications
now point it will equal Alaska in pro-
duction and be devoid of the hard
ships Of cold. Climatic conditions will
not interfere. for if a man takes ordi-
nary care of himself his years will be
as many and comfortable in Nicara-
qua as in any other place.
The Prime Pulca district is the prin.
cipal gold field OF Nicaragua. There
is also development going on in the
department of Zelaya. and placer
mining can be conducted with profit
on almost any stream in Nicaragua. OF
the quartz camps Prime Pulra is the
largest and most important at pres.
ent. There is quite a colony at Prime
Pulca. and several mines have been
sunk into the quartz. Prime Pulca is
$50 miles north of Bluefields and near
the coast. The district covers a radius
of about 100 miles from the camp IT
Prime Pulca. owe which prospectors
have gone and located claims. Is is
essential that machinery be obtained
successfully to conduct quartz min
ing operations. but it is an easy mat
ter to get it up there. as river naviga-
ton is easy the greater part of the
distance. The ore runs from $50 to
$500 on the average, although IN
stances are known where 1t went as
high as $500 to the ton. 1t is not a hard
quartz and can be easily operated with
stamp mills. although smelters would
be necessary to obtain all that the ore
contains.
The merchant of Nicaragua is no
doubt the Chinaman. One OF the
wealthiest men in Nicaragua to-day
is a Chinaman. Chow Wing Sing.
He went there eleven years & and
managed to get $500 ahead. and with
that capital he has expanded until
only the other day he was able to put
$lS0.000 in gold into mining machinery
for use in his mine at Prime Pulca.
Mr.. Paul Renner has a mine there for
which he was offered 5000 900 not long
ago and refused to sell.
