ter would be brained but the hammer, instead, fell on the head of his assail- ant. She released her hold and fell on the bottom of the tunnel. By this time W. C. Foster had relighted the torch, and at that instant big he wildcat, less brave than his mate, bounded past the exploring party and disappeared out of the mouth of the tunnel.
 A kitten more than half grown also got away, and another was about to make his escape when MT. Foster kicked him back into the tunnel. and it was secured. The Investigating party went out into the daylight and looked itself over. There was nothing to speak of left of MT. Fosters shirt. His skin from the Waistband of his trousers to his neck was in the same dilapidated condition. When they went back into the tunnel they found the mother wild cat still alive, but unconscious. An other blow with the geologist's hammer finished her. Messrs. Foster and Deity will take d bond on the mine. If the vein widens, as they have reason to believe it will they will be able to stock all the geological gardens in the country. The thing upon which they are now working is a plan to save the refractory product. The mine cannot be worked at a profit unless more than 25 per cent of the wildcats can be saved by concentration or some other process.

Thousands of Dollars Taken Out of
 Hot Springs Pool Rooms

Hot Springs Pool Rooms.
 Hot Springs, Ark, Feb 13.-A dozen turf plungers who have been making daily raids on Shannons and O'Leary's pool rooms, made the grand coup yes terday when they took more than $75,O00 out of the boolxies on three races at New Orleans.
 One plunger carried $2O,OOO out of Shannon's rooms at , o'clock after one of the most tumultuous scenes ever witnessed here, while Pittsburg Phil captured an equal amount from O'Leary of Chicago, who runs the H. linois club.
 The Turf club, one of the most heavily backed establishments in the south, closed it's doors yesterday. refusing to accept ahy money. The manager admitted that the plungers here set too hot a pace. Ellison and Cash, who have been placing big bets at good odds, each won over S24.OOO yesterday on Scarlet Lily and Prince Real at to l.
 shannon admits a loss of $3OOOO in two days, while the Southern club. owned by Dugan, went $25. .OOO to the bad yesterday, losing 5000 to Pitts burg Phil on the second New Orleans race.
 The regularity with which the win ners have been picked for the last three days at good odds, has sent the big bookmakers into q corner, and several $5,000 bets were refused at the Arkansaw club.

DAN O'BRIEN MAY RAGE. Open Door for Man Who Attempted to Defraud Clarence Mackay.

Lexington, Ky, Feb 13.-The now famous scandal of the removal of the three-e -eighths pole at the Kentucky as sociation track by which Dan O'Brian attempted to defraud Clarence H. Mackay of New York into the pur- chase of "a yearling colt, again. has come to the surface O'Brien, who confessed to the removal of the three eighths pole, and who declared he would move the grand stand to skin a millionaire'' will be permitted to race over the tracks. of the Western Jockey club.
 The news of this decision came to Lexington through the secretary of one of the Chicago tracks, who was instructed to receive any entry O'Brien might make to the stakes in the in- terest of which the secretary came to Lexington.
 The western organization acted in the light of the full testimony taken by the Breeders Investigating com mittee, and it is said chat the reason for again permitting O'Brien to race is that he committed no offense on q public track under it's Jurisdiction. The Western Jockey club held that the Kentucky association is a private track, and that it could not recognize anything which took place upon it.
 Horsemen here were startled at the action, and it was the subject of much caustic comment among prominent breeders.

Effects have been immediate and the results pleasing. l hope to use the remedy for several years to come"
 One-Eyed Connolly writes: "As remedy for insomnia I have found Dr Rye's extract of corn juice invaluable. I cannot sleep until I have taken sey- eral doses from a large or small bottle, as the case may be. I will use no other. so long as I can get the genu- ~ine"

uEREnRn CALLs ERNE.

Baltimore, Feb 13.-Joe Cans and his manager. Al Herford, are at fever heat over Erne's action last Monday and the statements he is alleged to have made since then. Cans is never much of q talker, but he was emphatic in en- dorsing what his manager had to say of the matter. Herford said yesterday afternoon: 'I unqualifiedly deny each and all the allegations made by Erne in connection with the fiasco at Phila- delphia last Monday night. Erne can not produce the slightest evidence that any deal was made or that any agree ment was entered into by me previous to the time the fight was to have taken place whereby the result was to have been predetermined. The fact is that Erne is a coward and he is trying to shield himself now by trying to cast aspertions upon those who had noth- ing but a fair fight in view. Erne IS competent no longer to defend the title he held and is afraid to meet the man he knows would take it from him. TO show that I am sincere in believing that Cans can defeat Erne will make the following proposition: l will give a purse of $3000 for a twenty-round bout between Cans and Erne, to take place before the Eureka Athletic club of this city. If he does not fancy the guarantee he can have the privilege of dividing 60 per cent of the gross re ceipts, T5 per cent to the winner and 9 per cent to the loser. In addition to this, I am willing to let Erne pick his own referee from the following well known mem Samuel C.. Austin, Johnny White, George Siler, Malachi Hogan. Charley White. Honest John Kelly. If Erne is afraid to come to Baltimore under these liberal condi- tions I will let Cans fight him before the Fort Erie club. in his own town. if that club will make a better offer."

BIG LOG SHRlNKAGE
Estimate of 80, 900, 900 Feet Less on
the Menominee.
HOW THE CUT HAS FALLEN OFF
Boom Company's Decline Means a
Loss Of Places for IA Thou
sand Men.
Special to The Journal.

Menominee Mich, March 20.-The an
nual report, which will be handed in at
the meeting Of the Menominee River
Boom company tomorrow, shows a
shrinkage in the total amount of logs
brought down the Menominee river of
over SO,000,000 feet from last years
amount. The estimate Of logs banked on
the Menominee river and its branches
this year is 149 ,2S0.181 feet. Some lum-
bermen, however, think that the amount
will reach 1600O0,000 feet, as they say
several companies have done better than
the report indicates. .--.-
Compared with the days when 700, 000,-
900 feet Of logs floated down the Me-
nominee river every year., the present
amount seems ridiculously small. The
closing down of the mills of the Kirby
Carpenter Co., the Detroit Lumber COM
pany, the Menominee River Lumber COM
pany and the Ludington, Wells & Van
Shaick Co., and the decrease in the
business of the Boom company means
that at least thousand less men will be
employed on the Menominee river next
year than have been employed heretofore.
On Friday morning the log owners will
meet in conference with the directors of
the boom company to make arrangements
for log driving the current year.
The report for this year is as follows:

sey A. Stockbridge, widow of Senator

Houghteling of Chicago, asking for his

Executor Houghtelling is said to have
with neglecting to place on the inventory

claims and assets bearing on the estate.
Mr.. Houghteling is charged with manipu-
lating the affairs Of the estate for the
benefit Of himself and to injure the pc
titioner and her rights and interests in

LED BY A MERE GIRL
Sioux City Convention Manipulated
by Miss Skogerson.
SHE WANTED A PLACE FOR PAPA
Courteous Delegates Hurried to Give
1t Her-CaldwelI and His
Platform.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, March 20.-A pretty,
blue-eyed, brown haired girl of 10, Miss
Louise Marie Skogerson, swept the re-
publican city convention off its feet yes
terday afternoon, and 121 delegates
shouted themselves hoarse nominating
her crippled father, O.. Skogerson, for SUI
perintendent of markets. There were six
other candidates, but they had no more
show of getting that humble, $780, month
position from the father of the truly
pretty girl who smiled and smiled on the
delegates as she asked them modestly to
vote for her father, than they could of
being president of the United States.
While the convention was yet voting
for police judge, she appeared, and began
distributing printed tickets with her ia
theirs name-the only woman in the
damned and crowded room. Her form was
followed by the. delegates as she went
quickly up and down the benches, and all
interest was lost in the police judgeship.
When the seven nominees for superin-
tendent OF markets were put before the
convention Miss SkogersOn was still
moving about among the delegates. The
first ward divided it's vote. The second
cast all but two for her father. She
stopped short in the aisle, her arms
akimbo, and watched the voting. The
third ward chairman called out, Twenty

fourth split, but Skogerson got the big
end The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
went solid for Skogerson, and when the
result was announced the convention
cheered Justify. ~
AS was conceded, E. w. Caldwell was
chosen for mayor by. acclamation. The
surprise of the day came, however, when
the committee on resolutions brought in
report straddling completely the demo-
cratic campaign cry against the gambling
houses and for compensation for public
franchises. The republicans declared
themselves Opposed to public gambling
house and the open Haunting of vice, and
to this end we pledge the police power
Of the city"
The democrats expected the republic
cans would steal their PLATFORM so early
yesterday morning licensed bill-posters
were at work, and when the republican
delegates went to the convention they
read four-foot posters bearing this leg
end: my Election Means the Absolute
Abolition Of All Public Gambling Houses.

Gratis will say the republicans stole their
platform. 1t is conceded the campaign
will be a hot one.
The other nominees yesterday were:

gneer, G. Y. Skeels; superintendent of
