BEER NOT POISONED
Aconite Found, However, I'm stom-
ach of Conductor Mccormick.

AcOnite Found, However, in Stom-
ach of Conductor Mccormick.
GRAND FORKS, N. D,-The coroner's jury
called. to investigate the death Of Mr.. aIsi
Mrs. G. ]. Mccormick met late yesterday
afternoon. No witnesses were examined, but
1t was expected the report of the analysis
of the stomachs of the dead and the pail
of beer would be ready to submit to the
jury.
This work has not been completed by the
professors at the University of Minnesota, but
during the afternoon telegram was re-
ceived which stated that the beer had been
analysed and was found harmless, no trace
OF poison having been discovered. The con-
tents of McCormick's stomach had been an
alyzed, and evidence of the active part Of
accnite, deadly poison had been discov-
cred. Death had evidently resulted from
this cause. The examination of Mrs. Nc
Cormick's stomach has not been completed. =
The fact of the beer having been found
harmless places the death of Mccormick and
his wife in still more mysterious light.
Immediately after the tragedy most thor
ough examination of the premises were made,
but no bottle or other vessel which could
have contained the poison was found.
DR.. Rounseyill states that he poured some
of the beer into a glass found in the bath
room and tasted it, Immediately detecting
the poison. However, he suspected the drug
was in the beer, and not in the glass, as Ia
indicated by the analysis.
The inquest was adjourned until Monday.

GREAT IS H0MEsTAKE
Over Eleven Millions Distributed In
Dividends.

DEADWOOD, S. D.-The Homestake Min
ing company has declared It's two hundred
and eighty-fft consecutive dividend. The
July dividend is SO cents share, amounting
to $105,000 and Is payable on the 25th. With
this dividend the Homestake will have dis
tributed 81, 3s8, 75O among its stockholders,
without missing monthly payment for
twenty three years and nine months. It has
grown to be the greatest gold manufacturing
concern known to the history Of gold pro-
duction. There are 800 stamps dropping, and
one cyanide plant of 1900 tons capacity
operating at Lead, and another Of $50 tons
capacity almost ready to run at Gayyille,
these being designed to handle the tailings
OF the stamp mills. 1t Is conservatively esti-
mated that there is ore enough blocked out
above the 1,1OO-foot level In the mine to run
the present mills for twenty years.
The annual meeting of stockholders in the
Globe Gold Mining company was held in
Lead when directors were chosen for the
ensuing year. They are C. c. Eaton OF Min
neapolis and. G. A. Lands and +. r.. Wade
of Sheldon, Iowa. Mr.. Eaton is president
and Mr.. Lands treasurer. Samuel Wener
Of Chicago Is secretary and F. E. WADE IS
the new superintendent OF the mine. Inc
company has lately purchased an air COM
pressor, machine drills and other equipment,
and intends to carry on deep explorations.
The Dakota Mining company Is prepar-
ing to float $4,000 in first mortgage bonds
for the purpose of defraying the expense OF
enlarging the cyanide plant in Deadwood
from 100 tons to 200 tons capacity
There is strong probability of the Burling-
ton & Elkhorn building spurs into the Black
tail gulch, Garden City and Carbonate re-
gons These are the only producing mining
regions of the Black Hills without road,
and the development Of the mines has been
carried to point where 1t demands ship

more activity than since 1886. The Iron Hlii
mine is being worked under lease by W. a.

The returns of the assessors of Cass county
show that there are almost $50. 900 less acres
of wheat this year than last. The reduction
is the result of the wet spring. which pre-
vented the seeding Of the lands along the
Red river. The decreased acreage will make
big showing in the total number of bushels
this fall, and it is possible that Cass county
will show. a greater percentage OF loss OF
wheat acreage than any other county in the
state. Flax shows decreased acreage OF
about 20 pc. cent. Oats has an increased
acreage of 10 per cent; barley an increased
acreage Of almost 100 per cent, and the corn
acreage is larger.-W. w. Tousley, a former
member of the legislature from this county
and with former editorial experience at Buff
falo, Tower City and more recently at Hills

North Dakota Newspaper Union, succeeding
E. j. Jennings, who was killed in wreck
near Minot last month.-The old statement

further rise. s... y. :.

removing their most valuable goods to the
