ARIZONA AIR.

Just now, while good deal IS being said ill the newspapers about the So- called '.open-air treatment' for con- sumptives, it will be interesting to re- late the actual experience of one suf- fering from lung trouble who has been fully restored to health. The person referred to was q good many years ago assistant rector of an Episcopal church ill Baltimore, and his clerical duties involved an early communion service C o'clock a. 1n.). which he usually performed before breakfasting. His lung trouble developed while he was a theological student, and the dis charge of his daily clerical duties at so early an hour, without taking any stimulating food, increased his weak ness. Finally he was attacked with severe hemorrhages of the lungs while at the altar, and was hurried to his home, where for sometime he remain cd close invalid. The best medical advice he could get apparently was to go to Florida Cthe graveyard for con sumptives, as writer once remarked, and the preacher soon removed to Tal- lahassee as rector of q church there. It did not take him long to discover that the open-air treatment in FlOri- da was not the treatment for him. the hemorrhages returned and he grew | emaciated.
 His next move was to Santa Te, N.
 M., where he took charge of a church. The clear dry atmosphere (with q re- markedly moderate mean temperature) at once proved beneficial. The hem orrhageS and cough were arrested. and the improvement continued steady un- til almost perfect health and strength
 was restored 1t was while at Santa Fe that the preacher was told of wonderful effects produced by the dry rarefied air of Arizona, and subse- quently he took charge of a church at Prescott, ill that Territory. The inn provement of his lung trouble was even more rapid and marked at Pres colt, and he has declared that the
 ''open air'' of Arizona is the best place for consumptives i'll the United States So complete has been his restoration to health that he has been able to ac- cept residence in Southern California (moving there to improve his wife's health)' where he conducted a church and school for several years. He is now travelling abroad with his family, and walks, with springy step, half dozen miles day in England with out feeling the least fatigue. ''The l dry, rarefied atmosphere of Arizona z he wrote recently, lis the best for lung trouble to be found anywhere. Fresh meat lying in the open air on a peg cures instead of decaying; imagine the efSects on the lungs.-P philadelphia Ledger.

Squirm as they will the city dele gates can't get away from the viee-like grip of Warner and his followers. The one-to-a-town men have winning hold on the constitutional conven. ton, and they are deter mined not to release it until things are settled for good and for all their way of thinking. Delegates Waller, Os- born, Clark and others tried several new moves yesterday, but they were checkmated at every turn. Delegate Vance has given up ill disgust, so it seems, for he was not present yester- day. He is apparently disgruntled be- cause the delegates do not favor his district plan and so is going to let them fight along without his assistance. In the test vote yesterday Litchfield coun- ty was solid for Warner, not q single delegate from that county voting with the minority. It seems about time to close the doors, go home and get ready for spring planting.

The friends of Cuba are and have been working earnestly ill the inter est of the islands main source of rev enue. the raising of sugar. A writer in one of the late magazines says that under the Platt amendment, or law, Cuba is virtually prohibited from mak- ing trade treaties with other coun- tries. and she is consequently com pleteIy at the mercy of the United States Great Britain and the Unit l ed States are the two most important sugar consuming countries in the world. but Cuba is shut out of the for mer by the low price of German su- gars which is fully half cent a pound less than the cost of production, ow- ing to the enormous crop which Ger many, under the stimulus of bounties, 1 is producing. She is producing the largest sugar crop of all countries i'll l the world-about two million tons an- nually, or nearly three times the
 amount of her home consumption. A | syndicate of manufacturers and re- i liners has been in operation for some l years for the purpose of maintaining the prices of home consumption at as 1 high q point as the import duty on su ! gars will allow, i'll order to permit of the export of sugar at prices which
 would otherwise be below the cost of 1 production. In addition to this, the l German manufacturers have the aid
 that between these two artificial aids i they are able to sell sugar abroad at ! fully half q cent g pound below the 1 cost of production. About 100000 tons of German raw beet sugar came
 into this country last year, where it entered the markets against the Cuban product, which had to come in against
 q one hundred per cent duty and
 without the aid of bounties of any | kind.

THEY ARE DYING.

Michael Wallace paid one of his visits to the Democrat office Monday. He said he thought he would come up town and look around to see if the boys were doing anything about the Emmet day celebration. When he found out that all arrangements had been made to honor the day he re- turned home contented, after dropping the following on the editors desk: Editor of the Democrat:
 wonder if the readers of the Dem- ocrat remember Denis Florence" Nc Carthy's poem, in which he says: They are dying, they are dying, where the golden corn is growing; They are dying where the crowded
 herds are lowing;
 They are gasping for existence where the streams of life are flowing, And they perish of the plague where
 the breeze of health is flowing! A fruitful, teeming soil, Where the patient peasants toil Beneath the summers sun and the
 watery wintry sky
 Where they tend the golden grain, Till it bends upon the plain, Then reap it for the stranger and
 turn aside to die. Where they watch their fiocks increase And store the snowy fleece Till they send it to their masters to
 be woven OCT the waves; l Where having sent their meat For the foreigner to eat, Their mission is fulfilled, and they creep into their graves. l 'Tis for this they are dying where the golden corn is growing; l Iris for this they are dying where the l crowded herds are lowing; l '1is for this they are dying where the
 streams of life are flowing,
 And they perish of the plague where the breeze of health is blowing. w

OUR DEMAND ON TURKEY.

 Stone Case O1RcialIy Defined.

Position of This Government Tn the
 Stone Case Oficiu1Iy Defined.
 WASHINGTON, March 5.-It is learned at the state department that the attitude of MT. Leishman, the Unit. ed States minister to Turkey, is liable to be misunderstood owing to the brev. ity of the cable report that he has pre- ferred demand upon Turkey in the case of Miss Stone. The understanding is that any action in that line that MT. Leishman may have taken is ill the line of saving all future rights rather than the submission of an unqualified de mand for the punishment of the brig ands and a repayment of the indemnity given to the outlaws. The same sort of caveat either has been or will be filed with the Bulgarian government
 The legal effect of this action is sim ply to save all rights against either of these governments or against both of them pending the conclusion of the ex- haustive inquiry which the state de partment is making through it's minis ter and other agents into Miss Stone s case. When that inquiry is concluded, it is expected that the department will be in a position to squarely place the responsibility for the Kidnapping, and when that has been done no time will be lost ill pressing the claim both for punishment of the perpetrators of the outrage and for the repayment of the ransom.
 Meanwhile, acting under instructions of the state department Mir. Leishman will prefer no specific claim against either Turkey or Bulgaria.

CITY RULED BY MOB.
Five Thousand Strike Sympa-
 thizers Terrorize Norfolk.
TROOPS GUARD RAILWAY PROPERTY.
No Settlement Tn Sight Between Rail- way and Light Company and Elm ployees-aIartiaI Law Like
 Iy to Be Declared.

NORFOLK, Va, March 5.-A mob of 5000 strike sympathizers thronged the streets of Norfolk yesterday on which the main line of the Norfolk Railway and Light company runs, and the pc lice were unable to cope with it.
 From noon until after dark. when the cars, which were guarded by de- tachments of militia and had run with difficulty all day, were housed in the barns, the mob had things it's own way in the city. h the county where the barns are the military was i'll con- trol of the situation. Cars were re- peatedly derailed, wagon loads of stones were piled on the tracks and free fights between the military guards and the crowd occurred during the day at frequent intervals.
 In one of these sergeant ran q bayonet into the arm of H. Harman- son. barber. Mrs Harmanson was standing by her husband at the time. She knocked the sergeant to the ground with her fists and discolored the face of Lieutenant E. R. Gale, who was near her, with q well directed blow Several soldiers were hit by bricks and other missiles thrown through the windows of the cars. A number of arrests have been made both by the police and military.
 X conference was held by Mayor Beaman, Police Chief Vellines aSd Colo mel Higgins, commanding the Seventy first Virginia regiment, eight compa- nies of which are in service, relative to placing the city under martial law. The police force of 100 men has been on duty for forty-eight hours and is unable to meet the emergency. It is possible that the four additional com panies of the regiment and battery of artillery will be called for today to take charge of the city. There is no settlement of the strike in sight, both sides standing by their first proposi- ti0n

CRIME AND THE F1NGER-PRINT

Mir. Tighe Hopkins writes on this subject in Cassell's Magazine for Fep- ruary, and tells a story in illustration to round the subject off. It comes from the Bengal Courts, and is repro duced by MT. Henry ill his technical treatise on the Classification and Uses of Finger prints"
 In 1898 the manager of tea gar- den in the district of Julpaiguri, on the Bhutan frontier. was found in his bed with his throat cut. His dispatch box and safe had been rif1ed, and quan- tity of rupees carried off. Among the suspected persons was a former ser want of the deceased whom he had lm- prisoned for theft; but this man had been released from gaol some weeks before the murder, and had not since been seen in the neighborhOOd. Among the papers in the dispatch box was q calendar in book form, on the blue paper of which were noticed two faint brown smudges.
 A magnifying glass showed one smudge to be part of the impression of the finger of a right hand The fin- ger prints registered in the Central Office of the Bengal Police were searched, and the right thumb impress sion of one Kangali Charan, the ex- servant of the murdered manager, cor responded exactly with the smudge on the calander, and he was arrested. The chemical examiner to the Govern n1ent certified that the brown smudgas on tho canendar were mamalian blood, "the inference being that the actual murderer or some associate had knocked his blood-stained thumb against the calendar when rummag- ing the papers in the dispatch box for the key of tho safe.''
 Kangali was put on his trial. charged with murder and theft. He was convicted of having stolen the rupees, but it was held improper to convict him of the murder, as there l was no witness to the deed. TEe 1 judge and assessor recorded their l opinions tiat the charge of theft had been proved, and the judges of the supreme court upheld the conviction.

accommodations at Sites being
limited much dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed with that portion of the
schedule. Passengers going down
the road would also have to leave
Grangeville in the afternoon and
spend the night at Sites, and this
feature is also an important factor
which is bound to cut a lot of ice
with the officials, and altogether
there is good deal of uncertainty
at official head quarters whether
the best interests Of the country
tributary to the road are going to
be advantaged by the change of
schedule So far as Camas Prairie
and tie mountain region to the
south of us is concerned, it simply
amounts to a question of stopping
over night either at Sites or Lewis
ton, and in view OF the superior
accommodation at Lewiston the
company hesitates to make the
change until the people directly
interested are heard from.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION
Several Important Matters That Must
Be- Considered Next June.
MORE ROOM ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Our Rapidly Growing Town
Demands More and Bet
ter School Facilities.

Now the village election is over
our people had better get to think
ing over school matters. The an
nual election is to be held in June,
and at that time the people will
probably be called upon to decide
several matters of the first impor-
tance to the district. As matters
stand at present there will be two
new school rooms needed for the
fall term Of schHol, which opens in
September next. The solution OF
this problem is one which should
act as pleasurable' diversion from
the excitement Of the late election,
and we submit it in good faith as a
means OF promoting harmony.
There has already been lot OF
informal discussion on the part OF
those who pay attention to school
progress, and various plans have
been suggested, all of which meet
with more or less favor. 1t ap-
pears that the school directors will
have about enough money on hand
at the close OF the present term to
build a small school house which
will afford the necessary room.
Others strongly oppose the erection
of such building, and they favor
bonding the school district for a
sum of money sufficient to put uI
a suitable building which will an.
swer for future as well as for i'm.
mediate use. In these matters il
is always wise to have an eye fol
the future growth Of growing
town in agrowing country. There
are still others who advocate &
division of the present school dis
| trict, but this proposition does no
meet with general favor, and from
the present talk will meet will
scantsrecognition.

THE VILLAGE ELECTION.
A Big Majority for the New
Board Of Trustees.

After several days of the greatest
excitement the election for village
trustees passed off Tuesday, result
ing in the election of Messrs. w.
w. Brown, Fred White, William
Ingram, Walter Hickerson aud A.
ID. Foster to serve as trustees for
the ensuing year. The appended
vote shows that there was wide
spread demand for a change, with
the result that the sold board' was
completely showed under. In the
absence of platform it is difficult
to ascertain just what changes will
be made in the conduct Of the af-
fairs Of the municipality, but we
do not apprehend that. anything
material will transpire. The IL
cense law and the water question
were both prominent issues in the
campaign. A total vote Of 576 was
cast. Following is the result:

school board involves the selection
of q site for the new building,
should bonds be voted, ana this
bone of contention may as we'll be
discussed now as later, since every
section of the town will doubtless
aspire for the honor Of having it in
it's immediate bailiwick. We have
not had sure-enough election for
school directors for several years,
and the general public may as well
wake up to the fact that the issues
outlined above are to be presented
to them for solution.
Grangeville is a growing town in
a growing country, and we do not
want to wake up some fine morn
ing and find the railroad headed
for the town and no accommoda-
tions ready for the use of the rap
idly growing number of school
children in this district. When
Moscow first got its railroad the
increase Of population was so great
that the school district had to pay
5000 per year rental for the use OF
suitable buildings for school pur-
poses. There is no necessity for
us to repeat that experiences.
When the present commodious
school building was built there
we're plenty of kickers who op-
posed the issue of bonds on the
ground that the building was too
big and would remain empty for
years. Already we have had to
build another building, and we are
again confronted by the same lack
of room.
The solution of these questions
calls for the best efforts of oul
whole people, and now is the time
to put ON your thinking caps.
