ALL the people living here who have put
their small amounts in will be losers.
Once before this property went through
hard experience and then reorganiza-
ton was tried, Boston men becoming the
moving spirits. Under their direction the
shaft was sunk to depth of 200 feet,
timbered for a working shaft, boilers and
hosting machinery put in and much cross
cutting and drifting done. Glowing re-
ports of the assays were given out and
lot Of stock was sold here, it bringing at
times over 50 a share, par being $25:': In
vestOrs here are anxious to know whether
the present movement really means an
abandonment Of the property or merely a
reorganization in which only few will be
able to participate. j..
Until to-day the. police thought they
had a chance to make an example of a
gambler caught disobeying the mayor S
order. John Thompson was charged by
Ole Iverson with fostering professional
gambling. In court his testimony fz-

for game, got it and staid on full
house against four jacks, lost $40 in all
and wanted his money back. The court
dismissed the action.
John Follis, of Lake Nebagamon, came
to town to-day to get away from alleged
pursuers who had been bounding him

dota asylum. He spent the past six
months moving from place to place in the

MONTEZUMA, IOWA--Judge Dewey
sentenced H. Q. Tower to 21s years for
horse stealing. When asked what he had
to say Tower made speech the like of
which has never been heard here before.
There was scarcely dry eye in the room.
Judge Dewey stated after adjournment he
had meyer heard finer language or a more
eloquent speech in his eleven years ex-
perience on the bench. What adds in
terest to the incident is the fact that no
one believes the prisoners story, which
was to the effect that after practicing
medicine for twenty-five years with entire
success, misfortune overlook him. His
fine house was burned Then his wife
died and he lost all his property. To
drown his sorrow he began the use of
morphine which had made him it's slave.
1t is believed Tower is one of the smooth
est confidence men in the country.

PROBLEMS OF THE PANAMA ROUTE

Because French Engineers Were Appalled,
By Difficulties, Route Is Deemed
lmpracticabe.
Special to The Post.l

Kingston, Jamaica, July 26.-It is
strongly asserted by jamaican who
formerly occupied position in the bu-
reau Of works In connection with the
French directorate of the Panama ca
nal that the problems of the dams
and of the cutting of the Cordlleras
at Culebra ARE dark and unsolyable
riddles"
This gentleman states that 1t was
declared by NJ. De Lesseps as far back
as 1885 that the canal was as good as
finished, and yet the damming of the
waters of the mighty Chagres river
remained to be accomplished.
Up to this moment these engineer
ing difficulties remain unconquered.
Plans have been devised for control
ing the Chagres river, but the great
stream refuses to be controlled, The
French engineers who have seen the
Chagres in flood have been appalled,
and have left the isthmus acknowledge
ing their defeat. These considerations
make Jamaicans look with doubt on
schemes to cut through the isthmus of
Panama.

London, July 26.-From quirinal
sources the Posts correspondent
learns that the real object of King
Victor Emanuels recent visit to the
car was to induce Russia to exert its
influence on France in behalf of the
Catholic associations, The king is
said to have undertaken this mission
at the earnest solicitation of his moth

whose devotion to the church is well
known.
Victor Emanuel pleaded the cause
Of the associations with great elo-
quence and emphasized the danger to
France should it lose its position as

interests in Turkey and the far East,
The car, however, declined TO be
drawn into any semblance of opposi-

1t is asserted by the diplomat who
vouches for these statements that
while political and commercial reasons
are named as the incentive to the Ital-
ian monaroh's visit to ST. Petersburg,

Paris. July 26.-News Of a Chicago
'o-al courts implied dictum that the
forks of Balzac are to be classed as
Immoral literature reached the ears
u the Paris society known as Friends
OF Balzac" yesterday and in the course
of their usual meeting they took occa.
sion to put on record their opinion of
Chicago civilization and culture. vi
comte Spoelberch de Louvenjoul, the
head of the society, a great collector Of
Balzac manuscripts. declared that Chi.
cago had not yet earned any title to
serious consideration from a literary
point of view.
No lover of Balzac however" said
the vicomte, would be justified in
allowing such an idiotic assertion as
that tacitly sanctioned by the court to
pass without challenge, since 1t is cal
culated to do harm in the more civil
ICED parts of the United States. Bal
FAC has written many books as pure
as those of Jane Austen and at the
same time containing human charac-
ters which Jane Austen's do not. It
is true, several of our French novel
lists works are not quite the sort to
put in the hands of children, but the
same is true of Thackeray French
/ young people are not allowed to read
all the works Of either of these
writer's"
Nine Auclert. a we'll known French
champion of womens rights, said she
was surprised that the enlightened wo-
men Of America had not corrected the
unjust impression created by the Chi
/ cago incident. "Balzac's greatest gos.
! pei Is the righting Of women's wrongs.
! said Nine Auclert Nearly every
book he wrote had the effect of de-
/ creasing the helpless inequality of
woman in the social order. If this Is
immortality it IS an immortality all re-
formers share.
Two or three irate women, talking
| excitedly in a corner of the meeting
hall, declared that even TO sell Bal.
zac's works in Chicago was merely
to cast pearls before swine"
