IN HER HUSBANDS CLOTHES.

Attired in her husbands clothes, a
we'll known Tampa woman entered the
Imperial Theater, one of the vaude-
Vile shows, located in Fort Brooke,
on search for her hayward husband
Her makeup was complete, with one
exception, which led to her arrest In
order to disguise her face, she painted
mustache on her lip, which was no
ticed Us soon as she entered the build
ing. The officers watched her move
ments, and becoming satisfied that she
was woman, placed her under arrest
She plead with the policeman inform
ing him that she was looking for her
husband. The story would not satisfy
the officer, and he compelled her to
give a Sc bond for her appearance in
court the following morning. She was
then released and taken to her home
She failed to appear in court, however
and forfeited her bond. 1t appears that
her husband has been in the habit of
remaining out at night under the pre-
tense of attending to business. She
found out that he visited the Imperial
Theater, and wanted to give him A
surprise. She remained about the
building for some time, but not seeing
anything of her hayward husband, she
concluded to go inside. She walked to
the lunch counter and ordered drink
and was shown to the bar. Here she
again ordered a drink, in the mean

SCOT and Its Uses.

SCOT has long been used as a manure,
both in the garden and in the field,
says the American Garden. 1t is a
product from the burning either of
wood or (soft) coal, and consists
chiefly of a finely divided charcoal. On
analysis it is found to contain about
4S per cent. of organic matter in

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.

The strike in the Fisher Maiden in
the SLOGAN, is proving one of the most
important of the season. Superinten-
dent Long at the mine says that the
strike has widened to a showing OF
three and a half feet of shipping ore
carrying ruby silver.
The Hesperus group on Hardy noun
tain, has joined the ranks of the ship
pers. The CRANKY smelter is now
treating considerable Hesperus ore, the

values, principally in copper, of SIG

Ore shipments from the combined
mines of the Boundary district were
greater last week than ever before,

at full capacity. The output has aver.
aged considerably over 1000 tons per

Drilling Contest.

A decided surprise was sprung in a
drilling contest held at Wallace re-
Gently, when team known as the
Swede team" carried off the first
prive, valued at $780, The winners
were Johnson and Nygreen of Burke.
They won over four competing teams,
drilling 80 inches.
Following are other teams with their
records: Morrisey and Banford, Null
Ian, 81 3-S inches; Morrison and Kepp-
ner, Mullan, 29 Is inches; Cummins
and Ross, Nine Mile, % 11-16 inches;
Durham and Patterson, Kingston,
q 1916 inches.
Cummins and Ross and Morrison and
Keppner were picked as Winners and
considerable money was wagered upon
the result. The latter team carried
off the prize at Mullan on Labor day.
Ihe granite that was used was ex-
ceedingly hard and this accounts for
the distance drilled being small.

TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
Of Trade says:
Business has made moderate pro-
press the past week despite unusual
opposition from the elements. When
all other Industries are to a consider
able degree dependent upon agricul-
tural conditions, reports Of serious in
jury to crops by cold and wet weather
are not calculated to stimulate conf
dence. Subsequent corrections indi-
Gated that the amount of damage had
been exaggerated as usual, and pros
poets frightened. Manufacturing
plants are well occupied as a rule,
even the textile mills reporting less
idle machinery, and at Chicago there
is notable pressure for implements
and hardware. Lumber is in better
demand as structural activity revives.
Payments are seasonably prompt, ex-
cept where late crops delay settle
ments, and the outlook for fall and
winter business contains much that is
encouraging.
Uneasiness over the labor situation
aggravates the difficulty, although the
latest developments in the building
trades are most encouraging in this
respect.
Failures were 219 in the United
States.

WHEAT YIELD OF WASHINGTON
Commissioner Arrasmith Estimates al
Twenty Million Bushels.

State Grain Commissioner Arrasmith
says: "The average yield of the lands
of the state is low, but owing to the
superior prices this year the net re.
turns to the grower will be nearly
equal to that of last year. Supposing
the grain to be all saved, the yield
will average about Is bushels to the
acre, taking one section of the state
with another. The estimate for the
state would, therefore, be from 10000
900 to 21,0O0,O00 bushels. Last year
the yield was between 100000 and
100000 bushels, quite falling off
for this year, when the additional
acreage is taken into account.
'"This year the farmers of the ex-
IRENE eastern portions of the state are
being offered 65 to rs cents, SO that the
loss in yield is made up to the farmer
by the additional price. This means
about $14,00O,00O of money to be dis
tributed in the eastern part of the state
from the wheat source alone, and this
outside of the freight paid the raiE
way companies. ts
"As consequence of the high prices
think there is no question but the
coming year will show an unparalleled
increase in the wheat ~acreage.'in this
state" .,''

nent In Absence Of Prisoners-Gen-
eral Chase Claims to Be in Full
Authority by Order Of Governor
Peabody-Cases Cited by Both.

Colorado Springs, Sept. ga spe-
cial from Cripple Creek says:
The habeas corpus proceedings in
the district court in the cases Of mill.
tary prisoners in confinement at
Camp Golden had all the spectacular
settings of military display. At the
morning session Judge Seeds abso-
lutely refused to listen to any argu-
ment in the absence Of the prisoners
and an adjournment was taken until
2 p. m. Previous to that a heavy
guard of troops was placed around
the building containing the courtroom,
and at 1870 the four prisoners for
whom writs had been issued were
brought in under guard.
When court convened Lieutenant
McClelland read a supplementary re.
turn to the writ of habeas corpus. In
this he claimed the first jurisdiction
OF the district over the military prison
| ers, saying that General Chase was
in full authority by virtue of the ex-
ecutive order of the governor, and had
right which Governor Peabody gave
him when he ordered the troops to the
district.
Attorney Murphy was then recog-
nized by the court, and protested
against the martial array of soldiers
in the courtroom. The court answer
ed that there was not now nor would
there be any undue military display.
Attorney Murphy then made a motion
to quash the supplementary writ, and
the military attorney signified that
they were ready to argue the motion
to quash.
Attorneys for the prisoners related
the substance of their petition. Attor-
ney Murphy said the four prisoners
neld were citizens of the United States
and were being illegally detained with
out warrant. He further stated that
the duties of the militia were very
limited, that there are certain lines
beyond which if they 60 they tres
