HER GO-DEVIL CAME BACK.

Marion, Ind.-A so-devil blew from an oil well by an explosion of geo quarts of nitro -glycerine this morning, shot through the air and struck the hat worn by Miss Edith Gauntt, who had dropped the heavy iron into the well and gone some distance away for safety.
 Miss Gauntt was the guest of honor at the shooting of the well and was re quested to drop the go-devil. The shooter placed the nitro-g -glycerine and Miss GaUntt picked up the large piece of iron and dropped it into the well. With Charles Ross she went three hun dred feet away and they stopped and waited for the result of the shot.
 The Go-devil was blown to the top of the derrick, and as it went upward the heavy stem used in driving the well and which had been thrown to one side, changed the course of the gO-devil and like a boomerang it shot upward and down. passing through the hat worn by Miss Gauntt, tearing a hole nearly as large as a cannon ball and then buried itself in the earth at her feet. Miss Gauntt was stunned, but not seri- ously hurt-Indianapolis News.

THE ELECTRA.

The most encouraging developments continue to result at the property of the Electra Mining and Milling company, east of Wickenburg. As work pro gresses the showing improves and every foot of work accomplished more cer- tainly assures the development of a fine shipping proposition.
 The Rich Hill shaft, which is the main working Of the property, has at tained a depth Of 2O5 feet. The ore has continually widened until now the en- tire bottom of the shaft-fully five feet acrCss-is in solid ore. The shaft has been sunk right in the vein. It is the intention Of the management to sup plant the present horse whim with a steam hOisting plant. This is in the end more economical and will enable much faster work. The action of the management in this connection will re- ceive the commendation of all inter- ested.-Daily Mining Record.

THE MODERN MINE
Will Begin Sinking at Once to the
 400 Fort Level.

The visiting guests who came LII from Michigan to look over the mining industry of our vicinity drove out to the Modern mine Sunday to look over that promising property. says the Bis bee Review. The party consisted 1f Captain Samuel Mitchell, one of the leading capitalists, mining men and bankers of Michigan, Captain Chey- worth, mining engineer; Hon. J. R. Ryan, mayor of Houghton, and one of the stockholders of the Modern; Hon. w. A .Bateman, leading lawyer and stockholder of the Modern and others. The gentlemen were accompanied by Rev. Mir. Pritchard, President N. A. Centers and Directors Briggs of the Modern and J. H. Jacks. lumberman. MT. and Mrs. w. A. Nash were also members of the party.
 The Modern at the 200-foot level is making a splendid showing. They have drifted toward the contact about twenty feet and have been in ore at least twelve feet. The ore is com posed of red oxide and native copper, the foot wall has not yet been encoun- tered. The mine is making a good deal of water and is wet. The machinery is all first class that has been put in at the Modern and is working to the entire satisfaction of the management
 The situation is altogether satisfac- tory, there being ample room for build ings and improvements and the valley runs down to the railroad, six miles away where track may be construct ed at a very low expenditure.
 We will begin sinking at once to the 4C0-foot level" said MT. Centers, and will crowd the work as rapidly as pos sible."
 These gentlemen left yesterday for the Huachuca mountains where they will examine property owned by J. G. Pritchard and others. They will prob ably go to the Cananeas before return ing east.

IRON KING GROUP

The Iron King group of mines, the property of the American Mining com pany of New York and Arizona, is de- veloping most promisingIy. The prop erty lies near the Val Verde spur of the Prescott and Eastern and its nearest claims are not more than 150 feet west of the track
 In an interview with T. C. Archer, M F., who is consulting engineer for the company, it was learned that he had just returned from a second eXam- inatiOn of the workings, and that they were looking better with every added foot of depth. He considers the con- centrators of metal within the limits of the AGO acres of mining claims in Cluded in the group to be something unusual Shaft No. 1, on the Iron King, itself is 116 feet in depth with cross cut of l45 feet. and increasing in value with every foot of sinking.

quent. In institutions where large numbers are more or less closely con fined, the ravages of this disease are becoming truly alarming.
 The following quotation from a paper on the Future of the ColOred Race in the United States" published some years ago, by 'Dr. Eugene Corson, is in- terestinS ill this connection. He says: All the information which l have been able to obtain has satisfied me that tha race was healthy one, even healthier in the main than the whites. Since the war things have been reversed; the colored race as a race is not Q healthy and robust one; their vitality is in state of unstable equilibrium; liable l from any undue strain to give way" Statistics from institutions, having both white and colored patients, will show that the latter is less able to re- 1 sist the onslaught of disease. Dr. Mitchell the superintendent of the Mississippi state insane hospital, in his 1 last report says: There is one great difference between the races as regards mortality, and although our treatment,
 both dietic and medicinal, is the same,
 our loss from deaths among the colored far exceeds that sustained by the whites"
 Turning from the physical condition | of the negro, let us now investigate
 the mental stability of the race Since ! 1860 the negroes in this section, and l the same is true of the south generally, ! have undergone such a change in their tendency to the development of mental | diseases as is shown by no other people
 in a similarly short period of time ir the whole history of mankind. I will take the statistics of our own state, Georgia, typical southern state, as l they will probably be of more interest to this society than would those of the whole United States. Tn forty years the total negro population in the state has been a little more than doubled.
 while the number of insane has in creased twenty fold. No other such rapid and radical change in the mental
 stability of a race is recorded in his
 tory. This outburst of insanity be-
 comes still more remarkable when we
 consider that for generations prior to
 1860 the colored people had been free
 from mental disease. It has developed therefore, without the slightest heredit-
 ary taint.
 l cannot leave this subject without
 calling attention to one more danger
 which is threatening the negro at this
 time: that is the drug h2bit-New

DOG BURIED ITSELF AND DIED.

dog, which in it's fatal sickness dug it's own grave and crawled into it, is mourned by the family of c. M. Lee of 141 Elmwond avenue. The dog was
 a cocker spaniel and a great pet. It had been an important member of the
 family for some time
 A week or two ago the dog was taken
 sick During it's sickness il disap- peared. The premises where it had lived, and later all Elmwood avenue. were searched without avail for the dog. The fact that it was i'll when it disappeared increased the distress of l the family, and an advertisement offer ing a reward for the dogs return, dead or alive, was inserted.
 Last Friday the dogs body was found beneath the doOrsteps of MT. Lees house in 2 hole which it had evidently dug itself as a grave. The same place had previously been explored. but the body was so covered with dirt that it : escaped observation. It is unnecessary
 to add that the lamented spaniel was given more ceremonious burial 1 Providence Journal.

FINDER OF LARGE NUGGET DEAD


 Samuel Hawkins Napier, who found what is said to have been the largest nugget Of gold ever mined, is dead, says a Provincetown, Mass, dispatch to the New York Times. He died alone, except for the companionship of faithful dog 2OO miles from any human habitat!on, in the wilds of the Gatin eau river, Canada.
 He was a Canadian, born in New Brunswick. He was the discoverer of the largest gold nugget ever found in the world, the famous "Welcome Mug get" found in the Bal!arat camp by MT. Napier and his partners, who went from Canada to Australia at the time Of the Australian gold excitement in 1852.
 The nugget weighed 2.195 ounces, nearly 183 pounds, and contained only a small quantity of gangue. The mug get was Tlaced on exhibition at the first Crystal Palace exposition in 1853, and the owners took in thousands of pounds from curious sightseers. After the eX- position the nugget was bought by the Bank of England for fSS76 los 6d
 At the time the big nugget was found the Ballarat district was overrun by bushrangers and Napier and his part ners did not dare let a hint drop of their phenomenal good fortune They buried the big lump of gold in their tent and proceeded in their diggings as usual. Later. after declaring that their claim was valUeless, the men packed up the big nugget in a bullock cart and made for the coast, where they took ship for England.-Mining and Scientific Press.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from l21! West 33rd st., Minneapolis, Minn., as fol- lows:
 "I suffered for years with pain in the small of my back and right side. | in- terfered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that l would be cured, as the doctors medi- cine did not seem to help me any.
 "Fortunately member of our Order advised me to try Peruna snd gave it such high praise that decided to try it. Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that felt encouraged.
 1T took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now.''-MINNIE E. MCALLISTER.
 What used to be called female diseases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female disease.
 Dr. Hartman was among the first of Americas great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years he has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago he reached the conclusion that a woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be subject to female disease. He therefore began using Pcruna for these cases and found it so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Pcruna has now become the most famous remedy for female disease ever known. Every where the women are using it and prais- ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim ply; it cures by removing the cause of female disease.
 pr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. He makes these cures simply by using and recommend ing Peruna.

CIRCUS IN POLITICS AND PULPIT

There used 10 be a time, and it does not seem 90 very remote, when reason and argument Were supposed to be strong factors in politics and religion. A man was expected to have reason for the faith that was in him. and to defend his political beliefs with arEu- ments that, to him at least, were con vincinG.
 Has all this been changed? Within the last few days, for instance. we have had the unusual spectacle oi the Tom Johnson circus tent in Ohio. the Dcvery barbecue and beer orgy in New York, the announcement of a republi- can vaudeville in Chicago, moving pie lures and free coffee in a church in London and Q whistling stunt" in a church in New York. And these rep resent only small part of the 'vari- ety. list.

 Tuberculosis has, in recent years, be- come so prevalent among the negroes a to justify the belief that it may soon be verita ble sccurge to the race. The susceptibility of negroes to CQnsump- ticn has apparently undergone most remarkable change within the last forty years. During days of slavery the diseaee vas so seldom found among them that they were considered almost immune to it. In fact, some of the older writers took the stand squarely, and asserted that consumption was un- known in the race. From being thus so rare as to be almost unknown, it has. in single generation, become so prevalent and SO fatal that now more negroes in the south are dying of tuber- culosis than of any other disease. While it exists among all classes, it is in the densely populated quarters of towns and cities where they live in overcrowded and poorly ventilated houses, that it is found to be most ire
