camp Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Hill

of that rare and valuable mineral,
telluruim.
Mr.. Hildebrandt began work in the
tunnel where he ceased work a year
ago. After driving the tunnel, few
feet on the ledge, be encountered
quartz carrying mineral of bright
glittering character. Upon examination
Mr.. Hildebrandt became convinced
that he had discovered something

he sent it east to hsve it tested.
Imagine his astluishment aud
delight when he received the returns
from his samples, conveying the
intelligence that the mineral is tellu-
rum, and that the quartz assayed
from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton.
Mr.. Hildebrandt Immediately came
to Weiser, bringing a number OF
samples with him-some Of which
can be seen at the Signal Office. He
left the next day for his home in
Iowa. He stated that he already
had deal on hand for his property,
and expected to return shortly, =

Tellurinm is rare mineral, and -
found in quartz in connection with
gold and silver, but much more valu-
able than either. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Hildebrandt will make q
deal, and that the ground will be
thoroughly developed.

Peace In Royal MeetIna..

St. Petersburg, Nov. 6.-The meeting of the czar and Emperor William is commented on by the newspapers here as being a fresh pledge of the pres eryation of general peace. The No vosti's remarks attract special atten- ton, as they reiterate the suggestion of a British-Russian rapprochement, which has been recently mooted by some Russian publicists. The Novosti contests the idea that Russia and Great Britain must remain rivals and says the dearest proof that this is not so is found in Britains absolutely peaceful policy and the influence she has exer- cised on Japan in the present Russo Japanese differences. The paper sees no reason why more frequent ex- change of views, giving each country a more intimate knowledge of the other, should not lead to similar entente to that effected between Great Britain and France.

London, Nov. 6.-It is believed here Morocco of his struggle against the rebels, as recently announced, is due to the fact that his resources have be- come exhausted. The correspondent of the Standard at Tangier makes the interesting announcement that Lord Lansdowne, British foreign minister, and M. Delcasse, French foreign min ister, have practically arranged an Anglo French loan for Morocco of $1O,- 100000. The details, adds the core spondent, have not yet been completed, but it is probable that the loan will be guaranteed on the customs.

DOG CARRIED A BOOT.

There was depression in the earth un- der Reegan's body, else he would have been killed instantly
 The dog, seeing the predicament of his master, began to bark, supplement- ing it with attempts to pull his master from under the tree. Finding it useless. he ran toward the house. When he ar- rived there he sat down in the dooryard and howled.
 When the door was opened the doG was seen with one of his masters boots in his mouth. The men saw that some thing was wrong, and followed the dog, which still carried the boot. When the tree was reached Reagan explained that the dog had, after hard work, suc- ceeded in pulling off the boot and talk ling it away. Reagan was soon released. little the worse for his queer experience.

Twenty Deaths Reported In Vigan-
 Philippine Railway Plans.
 Manila, Nov. 6.-Twenty-tw cases of Asiatic cholera occurred in Vigan, the capital of Ilocos Sur, Luzon, last week. Twenty one deaths are reported.
 The Philippine commission has con firmed the antislavery law passed by the legislative council of the Moro provinces Oct. 5, prohibiting slave hunting in all the Moro territory and providing for the conffscation of all vessels engaged In the slave traffic.
 The volcano of Malaspina, in Negros, Is in state of violent eruption. Malas- pima is the loftiest summit of the cen tral mountain chain of the island of Negros, being s,192 feet high. It has never been entirely quiet.
 Governor Taft has made public a re- port by J. 2. Norton, a civil engineer, on the proposed three great lines in the Philippines. One line is proposed from Manila to Aparri, distance of 336 miles, at total cost of $6,675, ,602; an other from Dagupan, the terminal of the present railway from Manila, to Iaoga, 168 miles, at cost of $3,367,- 036, and a third south from Manila to Batangas, sixty-nine miles, at cost of &1,097, ,457.
 The estimates given are those of MT. Morton. who considers that native tim Der is not to be had near any of the lines except small part of the Manila Aparri line, and recommends the use of creosoted timber from the American Pacific coast. He makes the same rec ommendation with reference to the use Of ties, as he thinks that native hard woods would cost more to cut and that native soft woods are out of the question because of the climate and insects.
 MT. Norton declares that the question of labor is the most important one in connection with the proposed construc- fion.

Pet Grow Attack. chi1dren.

Several residents of Crookston,
 Minn., have fed a crow during the summer, and the bird became so tame that the children could feed it from their hands. The little folks have had great sport playing with the bird, and were in the habit of harnessing it with
 strings. One day, however, when the children started to play with it in the
 afternoon they had cause for sorrow.
 The crow darted at them, as if to peck
 their eyes out, and scared several of
 the little ones so that they called for help. Several scratches on faces and arms resulted from the attack, and a
 dead crow is the result.

MARY E. scAENLEY DEAD.
Was a Benefactress of Esttsburg For
 Many Years.


 Many Years.
 Pittsburg, Nov. 6.-The death of Mrs. Mary E. Schenley at hex home in Hyde Park, London, is announced here. Mrs. Schenley had been Pittsburg's bene- factress for many years, and arrange ments are in progress for a special meeting of councils to take action on her death. Her residence abroad has not prevented her having the welfare of her old home at heart. This has been evidenced by her many donations of land and money to worthy charities and local enterprises. In addition Mrs. Schenley owned valuable properties in Cambria and Crawford counties of this state and lands in some of the western states. Among the notable donations made by Mrs. Schenley in Pittsburg and Allegheny are property on which IS erected the West Penn hospital, a tract of 300 acres of land which made the magnificent Schenley park possible, land on which the Western Penn h. stitute For the Blind was built, large lot for the Newsboys' home, large sub scriptions of money for the purchase of land for R1verview park Allegheny, and the gift of the old blockhouse, with adjoining land.
 Mrs. SchenIey was the heroine, sixty years ago, of the greatest romance in Pittsburgs early history. She was Miss Croghan, the daughter of a wealthy resident of Pittsburg, whose residence on the outskirts of Pittsburg was until very recent years an object of great interest to sightseers.
 It was while her family occupied this large mansion, the scene of sogb, of the gayest social functions in Pittsburg's history, that as young girl she elop. ed and married Captain E. W. H. Schenley, an English officer. The affair created an immense social sensation at the time, and the house was preserved for many years in precisely the shape that it was in at the date of the elope- ment. f

insurance Company Charges Fraud
 and Attempted Suicide.
 St. Louis, Nov. G. Tn the United States circuit court the Mutual Life In- surance company of New York has filed an application for the cancellation of two life insurance policies, aggregating $250,0O0, carried by the company upon the life of James l.. Blair. < The company charges that the poli- cies were secured through fraudulent representations. The petition further charges that Blair attempted to take his own life on Oct. 15 and Oct. 31 in order to defraud the company of the amount of the policies ...5
 The petition also alleges that Blair for ten years, during which, time he was attorney for the company, deceived the company by representing that he enjoyed an income of $1OO,OOO a year; that he was capitalist and able to pay the premiums. It also sets forth that on Nov. 2 the company served no tice upon him of cancellation of the policies which it held upon his life and made him a tender of the amount of the premiums he had paid and interest thereon, amounting to $33, ,O63, and that this tender was refused. The tender is therefore made to the court, and it is petitioned that Blair be required to ap. pear in court to answer the charges, but not under oath, the petitioners specifying waiving requirement of an oath.
 Papers summoning Blair to court were given to United States marshal, and he left for the Blair home to serve them
