uncanny Plant from Mexico

The Institute Medico of Mexico
City, says the Mexico Herald, will
send to the Worlds Fair an exhibit
of about fifty medical plants of the
country and the products derived
therefrom. Accompanying the ex-
hibit will be a complete explanation
as to the places where the plants
are found, the procedure for con-
verting them into medical products
and the ailments which they are
destined to cure.
Included in the exhibit will be
plant Of marvellous qualities. 1t
grows wild and abundantly in the
state of Michoacan. The Indians
claim that whenever they enter a
wood or place where the plant
grows, its aroma makes them lose
their way and they are unable to
return home or reach their destina-
tion until they cease to smell the
plant. The statement is said to
have been fully confirmed a num-
Der Of times by learned people.
The Institute is going to make a
scientific study of its physiological
effects and All analysis of its prop
ertles. A delegate has been sent
to Michoacon to obtain specimen
Of the plant. It has been further
added that a person wearing n
branch of this peculiar plant in his
.buttonhole, will often be lost in his
native city, but the latter statement
has not been confirmed. This plant
will be an interesting exhibit at the
Fair, and if tits sent iii large quan-
titles and keeps its qualities in for
eign and distant land, the police4of

A good deal OF space was devoted
to write-ups Of Washburn and Nc
Lean county, some Of them being
literary gems and make splendid
reading now. A two column write |
up Of the county is closed as fol-
lows -sThe Times would invite to
Mclean county all who have bona
fde intention Of settling and cul-
tivating the soil-all who desire
homes in a pleasant and prosper
GUS country
DR.. Tonnesson, president Of the
Hudson, Wis, colony, and his neph-
ew T. M. Tonnesson, are in Wash
burn, visiting their colony upnorth.
They are looking for location for
another colony Of 250 persons and
have their eye on the Ingersoll and
Turtle Lake neighborhood.
James Reed commutes his home
stead entry in Section 2O-l43-81.
This is the first piece Of Mclean
county government land titled.
The location Of the capital at
Bismarck brings Alexander McKin-
zie into prominence, and the st.
Paul Pioneer Press says that he is
the Alexander the Great of the
Capitol Commission and North Da-
kota politics."
"Washburn had a suburb known
as Snaketown, and name and sub
urb are still here"
The Northern Pacific raises the
price..of it's land in Mclean county
to $6 per acre.
Orders for the evacuation Of Ft.
Stevenson is received. The COM
mand and commissary stores are be-
ing shipped to Buford and Lincoln.
Miss Mary Baardson arrives from
Wisconsin and the Times says Miss
Baardson is one of the girls who has
nerve enough TO come west and grow
up with the country. She files on
a homestead four miles north of
town. her reward coming eighteen
years later in the shape of SIS per
acre.
The Times advocates, the estab-
fishing line of manufacturing in
dustries in Washburl. and promises
a profit to the projectors. Among
those mentioned was the manufac-
ture of starch from potatoes and of a
fertilizer by crushing buffalo bones,
thousands of tons of which were
then scattered over the prairie.
Later on these bones were gathered
by the settlers and sold at different
points along the river at from $8 to
$12a ton. At one time Peter Chris
tianson, who was then conducting
a general store in what is now Hod-
nett's restaurant and was the lead
ing merchant of the town, had three
or four thousand tons of these bones
banked on the river at Washburn.
The bones were used in refining
sugar but the inventive genius was
then, as now, abroad in the land,
and cheaper process was substi-
tated. This knocked the price Of
buffalo bones and a good many fort
unes were lost on the frontier By
those who traded in this merchan-
disc, and those who engaged in the
business at Washburn were no ex-
ception to the rule.
The Times announces a stand
ing price Of $1.5O per line for pub
fishing original poetry, and MOTH

ANXIOUS TO HAVE

Those Compelled to Travel

The matter Of widening Tenth sreet
from Market street TO Tatnnll Is some
thing which many citizens OF Whining
ton are deeply interested IN and the
question as TO when the Street and
Sewer Department will begin this im-
portant work 81 often asked. Although
the department passed a resolution
some time ago agreeing 20 widen thar
portion OF Tenth street, as far as can
be learned no active steps have been
taken In that direction.
This IS one OF the most important
thoroughfares in the city, and it's pres
ent condition between the streets men,
toned Is looked upon as almost a dis
grace TO the city. Hedged in between
such broad streets as Delaware avenue
and Market street makes Il look even
worse than Il otherwise would, and
hundreds of citizens who have to trav-
el Il daily are anxious that the street
Department begin the work as soon as
possible.

TELLS
WHY HE HOLDS NEGRO
He Makes New Requisition
From Governor, Accompa-
MED by More Afhdayits

Governor PennypaclSer last night
made public his letter TO Governor
HUM. refusing to extradite Edward
Riley, a negro to this State to answer
charge Of assaulting a 1O-year-old
colored girl.
Riley is under arrest at Philadelphia.
and last Monday the Governor received
a requisition from the Delaware Execu-
tive for the negro, accompanied by an
affidavit which set forth only that he
had committed the crime with which
he was charged.
The record showed that no indict..
ment had been found against Riley,
and on the strength of this Governor
Pcnnypacker refused to honor the re-
quisition.
The Governors letter to the Della.
ware Executive follows:
"Sir: / have the honor to aclSnowl-
edge the receipt OF your requisition Of
recent date for the rendition of Edward
Riley. charged with the crime Of rape.
IN view Of the fact that the alleged
crime committed by the defendant is
punishable by death, 1 think the cir
cunstances which indicate the commits
sion Of the crime and the connection Of
the defendant with Il ought to be set
forth with particularly and care and
should be accompanied by anidavits as
TO their correctness. Especially is this
true where. as in this case, no indict-
ment has been found.
Upon receipt Of the requisition in
its amended form the matter will have
prompt attention.
