Record CIGAR Smokers.

William G. Patterson of Kalamazoo
Mich, is dead, in his seth year, as
the result of the excessive use of to-
bacco. His tobacconist from whom
he bought exclusively, gave out the
statement after his death had been
made public that in IL years Mr.. Pat
terson smoked more than $4,000 CT
gars, which cost him $4,000. In his
early life he was even more a constant
smoker than in his declining years, and
local tobacco men estimate that in the
last 20 years of his life he had smoked
100000 of his favorite brand, which
would cost him $4,000. Mr.. Patter-
son was a pioneer stage coachman
Of the middle west, having established
the first stage line between st. Paul
and St. Anthony, Mimi, along the bank
Of the Mississippi river. He also es-
tablished the first line between st.
Paul, ST. Anthony, Grand Rapids and
this city.

General Outlook 10 Good.
The following crop report Of the
department of agriculture, just out,
based on advices received by the for
eign statistical agent at London as
late at July 1, is in brief as follows:
I'm Russia meteorological conditions
have been in the highest degree favor
able for cereal crops in most parts OF
European Russia and harvest pros
poets are considerably improved, even
in regions where conditions at the be-
ginning of spring were unfavorable.
"In Germany, a great Improvement
in all the winter cereals, particularly
in winter rye, has been shown the past
month. The condition of every crop
in the middle of June is officially re-
ported fair, although winter wheat, po-
tatoes and lucerne were considerably
nearer to good than medium and all
the others are graded about midway
between the two conditions.
Approximately good harvest Of the
spring crops in Australia is to be
counted on at best. Maize promises
well there.
'In Hungary, unless there is more
improvement before harvest, which is
hardly expected, this years outturn
of the cereals will fall somewhat be-
low that of 1902, the deficiency in the
case Of wheat being about Is IL per
cent.
STORMS and floods have caused ex-
tensive damage to crops and vineyards
in Italy.
"In France the estimated area of
winter wheat is 681,7 24 acres less than
in 1902. A marked improvement in
wheat and other crops occurred there
during June, and the crops now are
doing we'll.
Generally favorable reports come
from Denmark.
I'm Great Britain the wheat crop is
late and can hardly come up to an
average yield.
"Advices to the department from the
government of India estimate the to-
tai wheat crop harvested there in the
spring Of 1903 at 90,261, 1O4 bushels,
against yield Of $226,370,8 800 bushels
in the previous year."
The final estimates of the depart
ment on the tobacco crop Of 1902 i'm
the United States are announced as
follows:
Acreage, 1,O3O,734; production, $751;
1868 pounds; value, $57,563, $40.

Says Northwest Need Not Worry
About Eastern Market.
st. Paul, Minn.-President James j..
Hill has returned to St. Paul after a.
five weeks outing in eastern waters.
Mr.. Hill said in reply to question:
The eastern market, as everybody
knows, Is in disturbed state. The
railroads of that section within a short.
time expended vast sums of money in
improvements. Industrials have been
thrown upon the market in enormous
quantities and the public has stopped
buying. The trouble has been ascribed
to 'undigested securities but perhaps
we would better call them indigestible
securities
these are local features and raise
problems having their own peculiar in
terest and importance to the people of
the eastern centers. They have not
affected the business of the country as
whole, which is in good condition.
Out here we are not worried, nor do
we need to worry about these move
ments that are the cause Of some
anxiety between eastern people. From
st. Paul clear through to the Pacific
coast the people are engaged in pro-
ducing foodstuffs, in numbering and
mining, in developing the great natu-
raj resources Of the country. There
fore, they are prosperous and I see no
reason to believe that this prosperity
will not continue"

Creek (ore.) Mine.
Baker City, Ore, July 22.-Three
masked men held up Captain Myrick
of the Conner Creek mine on Snake
river, 10 miles from Huntington, and
at the point Of a pistol compelled him
to open the Office safe. The cleanup in
gold bullion, said to be valued at ap-
proximately $4,000, and a number OF
valuable ore specimens, as we'll as a
considerable sum in cash, were taken.
A posse is in pursuit of the robbers,
but SO far no trace Of them has been
found.
The owners of the mine decline to
say how much the robbers secured,
but it is said that the mine produces
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum. A
rumor is in circulation that the amount
taken will reach $4,000, but one Of
the owners of the mine disputes this
statement. Those best informed say
the loss will not be in excess of $780,
900 and is probably less.

Washington, July 20. - Charge
d'Affaires Iddins, at Rome, has notified
the state department that the pope
died this afternoon at four minutes at
ter o'clock.
Rome, July 20, 1:05 p. NAT 1
o'clock there was great alarm at the
vatican, as the pope was suffering from
a great cardias affection. DR.. Lapponi
thought the end had arrived and Car
dinal Serafino Vanutelli, the grand
penitentiary, began the prayers for the
dying and gave the pontiff absolution
in articulo mortis. His death was con-
sidered SO imminent that all the car
dinals were present and members of
the diplomatic corps were admitted to
the sick, according to tradition. Popes
must be surrounded by the sacred col
lege, the pontifical court and the dip
lomats accredited to the vatican.
Just at that moment a large party
Of American tourists, unaware Of the
critical situation of the pontiff, as
cended the grand staircase, talking and
laughing. They were approached by
a gendarme, who said: please do
not make any noise, as the holy father
is dying"
This produced great emotion among
the tourists, and they Immediately re-
tired. the government has decided

nent or has actually occurred it will

would not harm him. While he was
conscious the visits exhausted him,
but it was his wish that the visitors
should be admitted and the attending
doctors thought it better not to cross
him.
The pope will die, one may say, in
harness, and If not standing as he de-
clared he would be, at least perform
ing his duties to the end.
This morning the sickroom was the
most tranquil spot in the vatican. The
pontiff lies in his bed, the pillows of
which are not whittier than his face,
which has strange appearance owing
to his not having been shaved for so
long. His hands are folded over the
rosary which he has used for over 60
years. The famous arm chair which,

The silence Of the sickroom IL oc-
casionally broken by . hacking cough,
due to the gathering of phlegm in the
pope's throat These coughing spells
have the effect of rousing the pontiff,
causing him to open his eyes and re-
vive slightly. When the doctors were
examining him this morning, believing
he was in stupor. his holiness sud-
denly fixed his eyes, even now bright
and by no means lifeless, on them,
saying:
"This time, doctor, you will not win
in your brave fight with death"
ut Is your holiness who Is brave"
replied DR.. Lapponi, but before the re-
mark was uttered the pope was again
unable to understand what was said.
Although it is really impossible to
say who will be the successor of Pope
Leo to the chair of st. Peter until after
the college Of cardinals has met in
solemn conclave and chosen the new
pope from one of their number, at the
! same time several of the cardinals
have been picked out by the general
public as being stronger papal posi-
! bilities than the rest. First among
these is Cardinal Gotti, who is said to
be Leo's own choice. It will be re-
membered that before the pope's deth
Mgr. Gotti was closeted with the dying
pontiff, who is believed to have given
him parting instructions as to the ad-
ministration of church affairs. Car
dinal Rampolla, the papal secretary Of
state, has always been regarded as one
Of those very NEAR the throne" and
his chances of succeeding Leo are con-
sidered very bright. Although these
I two are generally considered the first
possibilities, at the same time there
is large body Of Catholics who think
that the choice lies between Cardinals
Oreglia, Satolli and Vanuntelli. Any
one of the above named may be
chosen for the great work, and on the
other hand the new pope may be a
cardinal quite outside Of this group.
Choosing Pope.
Following the announcement of the
pope's death the cardinal camerlingo
knocked thrice on the door Of his bed
chamber. Getting no answer, he en-
tered and knocked thrice with a silver
mallet on the dead mans forehead and
called him thrice by name. He then
declared to the world that the pope
is dead.
The body is then embalmed, and
after mass has been said over it in
the presence of the cardinals it is re-
moved to st. Peters, where it lies in
state for nine days, when the funeral
proper takes place. The next step is
the election Of a new pope. He is
chosen by the conclave, body or
committee composed of cardinals and
other high church dignitaries.
They occupy special quarters in the
vatican, isolated from the rest of the
buildings and from the outer world by
the walling up of every door and win
dow and aperture. Each cardinal has
separate room, which is drawn by
lot. With their servants they muster
about 200 souls. All these men are
sworn to secrecy. While the gathering
lasts they are forbidden all inter-
course with the outside world. They
even cook their own food in a COM
mon kitchen.

AMUSING THE PEOPLE

Keep the men and women amused
with trivial things and matters that
co not concern government and the
welfare of the people. That is the plan
that the press of the United States has
adopted For days and days the col
umns of the dailies were filled with
matter concerning the sick and dying
pope. Thousands Of columns were
printed on that subject. Then for days
and days the peoples attention was
directed to the election of new pope.
After that followed a prize fight out
in California and columns more were
sent over the wires for days concern
ing that affair. Now horse has
trotted a mile in two minutes and the
wires are kept hot, the great presses
groan and revOlve, and the mail and
express cars are loaded with printed
matter again. Then followed an inter-
national yacht race and when that SUBJ
ject is exhausted, the great managing
editors will discover something else of
like nature. Remember that the week.
ly editions of these papers are given
away in such quantities that the mail
sacks burst and letter carriers in both
city and country are loaded down as
heavy as pack horses going over a
mountain trail. The Caesars amused
the populace with circuses and gladia-
torial fights and the people with mock
elections where the candidates bought
the offices not more shamelessly than

it would be of vast benefit to the

one OF the sorrows of this Office is
that it is impossible to print yerv
much that is of great Importance that

communications awaiting an oppor-
tunity for space, which are held in re-

article from E. G. Clark Of Syracuse.
Nebraska. He says that The Indepen-
dent should have said in criticising
Mr. Yates that "the money of the
United States is that which is issued
by virtue of an act of congress-" He
further remarks: "The United States
statute says (pro hoe verbal that
20 $40 grains Of gold, nine tenths fine.
shall be of the value of one dollar
not shall be one dollar-a very wide
distinction, my dear sir But the
united States can't fix the value any
more than it can the course of the
wind"
Mr.. Clark there comes in contradic-
ton with the trainers of the constitu-
ton, for that instrument declares
(Article l., Section 81: Congress
shall have power to coin money and
regulate the value thereof" To reg
ulated the value means to fix the val
ue. According to Mr. Clark the con-
stitution confers upon congress a DOW
er that it cannot execute any more
than it can control the direction of The
wind. and the men who made the con-
stltutlon were talking nonsense. But
were they? Cannot congress SO in
crease the number of dollars by an act
duly passed that one dollar shall be
worth half as much as it is now?
Cannot 1t so legislate as to make one
dollar OF double the value of what it
is now? What would be the effect on
the value of the dollar if at the next
session of congress an act were passed
retiring all the greenbacks, silver cer-
tificates and treasury notes? Would
not each dollar that remained be many
times more valuable than it is now?
Who dares answer mo" In that way
congress can absolutely "fix" the value
of every dollar in existence.
