Some of the New Books
Of the SaaIfieId Co

The best work DR.. James Ball Naylor
has yet done is embodied I'm the Days
of st. Clair" lately issued by the
Saalfield Publishing Co. AS in "The
Sign of the Prophet" there is much of
interesting adventure and fair por-
ton of love. The daughter of veal
thy Virginia planter loves her cousin,
who has been given a home by her
father, but who fails to return her af-
fection. Her mother determines to
aid her to her wish and to that end
induces the poor relatives of young
woman with whom the hero is enam-
ored to remove, with her from yir-
ginia. The lover endeayor's In vain to
discover their whereabouts and after
an interview with Gen. st. Clair is
given employment, along with his col
ored servant, as hunter for the garri-
son. He discovers mis- lost love in the
settlement. Thither they are followed
by the Virginia heiress. who plots
against their happiness with the aid
of renegade white man. The latter
causes an Indian massacre and the car
rying off of the hero's inamorata,
who is, after series of exciting ad-
ventures, safely recovered, while the
fate due the plotters befalls them.
Much of historical fact is woven in the
the story, and DR.. Naylor has shown
himself thoroughly at home among
great historical incidents in the early
settlement of Southern Ohio.
POGO a Poco'-little by little-is the
title of another new novel the Saalfield
Co. has brought out this fall. The
author is William Franklin Johnson
and he has told an interesting story
and depicted some interesting charac.
tiers. The plot hinges around the eff.
forts of band of impecunious enthu.
siasts to build in Washington Ma.
tional University of Art and Music
From many of the things in the &c
chapters the writer must have some
acquaintance with the inside, of a
newspaper office, although he makes
a few mistakes and causes some OF
his characters to say rather harsh

THOUSANDS OF women suffer from
systemic catarrh. This is sure TO
produce such symptoms az cold feet
and hands, sick headache, palpitation of
the heart and heavy feelings in tho
stomach,
Then begins serios OF experiments
with medicine. They take medicine for
sick headache. They take medicine for
nervous prostratioD, for palpitation of
the heart, for dyspepsia. None Of these
medicines do any good because they do
not reach the cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tom, dcranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
Is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

tress Of Drum, s. c., writes:

GOES OVER TO NEXT SESSION.
No Agreement Reached on Leasing
of Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The
house committee on public lands met
and among other things took up the
matter of the leasing Of public lands
and after discussing the matter for
some time it was decided to allow
the whole matter to go over until the
next session of congress.
During the consideration of the So
called Hill bill by the house Con-
gresham Shallenberger took the
floor in opposition to the measure.
He based his opposition on the pro-
vision to make silver dollars redeem
able in gold and also the provision
for the issuance of an asset currency
by national banks. AS a democratic
speech his address was we'll received
on that side of the chamber, and after
he concluded his remarks he receiv-
ed the congratulations of his demo-
cratic colleagues.

ANGRY ELEPHANT KILLS MAN.
Hurls Him to the Ground and Then
kneels Upon Him.

NEW YORK, May 3~0.-"Tops," a
female elephant Of the Forepaugh &
Sells circus, killed. a man at the
show grounds of the circus in Brook
Ign.
The victim was Joshua Blunt of
Fort Wayne, Ind. He went to the ele-
plants ~enclousre, where these ami
mails were waiting for their breakfast,
and each stuck out his trunk to
shake hands" as Blunt passed down
in front of them, it being the custom
of the trainers to salute each elephant
with a gentle tap.
Blunt had a beer glass in his hand
and when he approached Tops" he
showed it at her instead of giving the
usual greeting. This act seemed to
offend the great beast. In an instant
she seized the man with her trunk
and after hurting him violently to the
ground knelt on him and crushed him
to death. Keepers came to the res
u too late. They drove TOPS"
back and removed the body.

A Cure for Dropsy.

Ashley, North Dakota, June I'D.
H. Hanson of this place has found a
cure for Dropsy.
For years Mr.. Hanson himself has
suffered with Rheumatism of the
Heart and Dropsy, and of late has
been SO bad that he could not work.
He has tried many remedies, but
nothing he could get helped him in the
least, and he was growing worse and
worse.
Finally he began a treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and to his great
delight he soon found that the Dropsi-
cal Swelling was gradually going down
and that the Rheumatism of the Heart
was also disappearing. He says:
Il have taken seven boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am feeling better
than l have for five years.
81 am able to work again and if the
Dropsy or Heart Trouble ever comes
back l will use Dodd's Kidney Pills at
once"

bill which provided amnesty for
Americans who were under sentence

FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Mar
Unique, May 2S,-A tremendous explo-
sion of very black smoke from Mount
Pelee at 9:l5 o'clock this morning &C,
c%entuated the fear entertained for the
safety Of George KEENAN,, the Amer
lean author, who, with a land party,
has been examining the northern part
of the island. The governor of Mar
Unique, M. Le'Huerer, was at once
see with the object of arranging for
a rescue party to proceed by land in
connection with the voyage along the
coast of the United States cruiser
Cincinnati, should such steps appear
necessary.
At about II o'clock this morning
Fernand Cierc, a wealthy land pro-
prietor of Martinique, arrived here and
announced that Mr.. KEENAN, and his
party We're safe Oh a plantation at the
north end Of the island.
Prof. Robert 7. Hill, United States
government geologist and head of the
expedition sent to Martinique by the
National Geographical society, who
left Fort de France Monday on horse
back for the volcano, returned here
this morning. He was completely
worn out by his trip.
Speaking personally Of his eXpedi-
ton to Mount Pelee, Prof. Hill said:
Ny attempt 10 examine the crater of
Mont Pelee hass been futile. | sue
ceeded, however, iii getting very close
to Morne Rouge. At Z o'clock Monday
night l witnessed from a point near
the ruins of ST. Pierre a frightful eX-
plosion from Mont Pelee and noted the
accompanying phenomena. While
these eruptions continue no sane man
should attempt to ascend to the crater
of the volcano. Following the salvos
of d~etOnationS from tbs mountain
gigantic mushroom shaped columns of
smoke and cinders assembled into the
clear starlit sky and then spread IN
a vast black sheet to the south ana
directly over my head. Through this
sheet, which extended a distance c.
ten miles from the crater, vivid and
awful lightning like bolts flashed with
alarming frequency. They followed
distinct paths of ignition, but were
different from lightning in that the
bolts were horizontal and not perpen-
dicular. This is in%disputable evidence
of the explosive oxidation of the
gases after they LEFT the crater.
This is 4 most important observa-
ton and explains, in part, the awful
catastrophe. This phenomenon is en-
tirely new in volcanic history.
l took many photographs, but do
not hesitate to acknowledge that l was
terrified. But l was not the only per-
son SO frightened. Two newspaper
correspondents who were close to
Morne Rouge some hours before me
became scared, ran three miles down
the mountain and fastened into Fort
de France.
The people on the north end of
the island are terrified and are fleeing
with their cattle and effects. I spent
Tuesday night in a house at Deux
ChouX with a crowd of 200 frightened
refugees.
The volcano is still intensely active
and l cannot make any predictions as
to what it will do.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN, IDAHO, A
MINERAL TREASURE HOUSE.
Fortunes of Gold Are Being Found In

Fortunes of Gold Are Being Found In
the Center OF the State of Idaho.
Thunder Mountain, the new Idaho
gold held, is the most promising min
era region in the United States. The
richness Of this country was not
known until late in the fall of 1901,
after heavy had closed all ave-
nues by which the region might be
reached except upon s~nowshoes. Not
Wlthstanding this fact, Colonel w. H.
Dewey of Idaho, and others who have
lad wide experience in mining, have
expended vast sums in the purchase of
undeveloped claims. The surface indi-
cations are m~arvelously rich. These
gold bearing lodges, from 100 to 300
feet, will run through a mountain par
allel to each other. In the Dewey
mine, this vast deposit has values run
ming from 81 to 81, 900 per ton, and the
plates of the 10-stamp mill which runs
on the ore have to be cleaned of their
accretions of gold every six hours.
In a few weeks two miners last
spring cleaned up $500 in placer gold,
using & small cotton hose to wash
the gravel, the water coming from a
small reservoir on the mountain side.
The mineral zone i've a large Sec
ton of hitherto unexplored country,
and is about IFS miles from a railroad.
There are five routes leading to the
Thunder Mountain country, viz: via
Ketchum, Mackay, Boise and Weiser,
Idaho, and Bedrock, Montana, all on
the Oregon Short Line railway. A
great rush to this mecca for miners is
predicted, and "On to Thunder Noun
tain" will be as familiar as the old
watchword, pixies Peak or Bust" as
o o as the disappear so that
the camp may be reached with sup
plies, which will probably be between
May 10 and June l. A scarcity of pro-
visions at present keeps miners away,
as fiour at $50 per sack is considered
somewhat of a luxury even in the gol-
den land.
Surrounding Thunder Mountain is a
large section of country adapted to
agriculture and stock-raising.
d. E. Burley, general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line rail-
road, at Salt Lake City, sent an expert
to report upon that country, and will
cheerfully give any information re-
CURED as to the routes and general
conditions in and around the great
mining camp.
