expired last July. Neither of the ap-
pointees We're applicants for the office.
Mr.. Moody states that Nolan was
recommended on account of his long
and faithful party service, and because
of his record as reformer when holding
municipal positions. Miss Lang's APP
pointment comes as promotion because
of her recognized ability as an efficient
officer in the land service after wears of
experience. Confirmation of both, it is
assumed, will promptly follow, and the

Both Were Surprised.

The Dalles, Or, Feb 26.-The ap-
pointments of new officials to the local
Land Office in this city came as great
surprise this afternoon to the community
generally. None were more astonisheu
than the benefciares, neither of " hom
had applied for or were candidates for
the offices. When the terms of the
present incunbents expired last June,
it was generally thought they would be
retained by the Congressional delega-
ton.
Hon. NJ. T n Ian, the newly appoint
ed Register, has been for many years
one of the most prominent citizens Of
The DalIes, both politically and in busi-
ness. He has occupied various posi-
tions of trust in tie community, having
served two terms as Mayor of The
Dalles, three years in the City Council,
four years as Water Commissioner, and
he was also Postmaster from 1890 to
1894. He has been an active member
of the Republican party since 1888. His
selection is regarded as excel ent from
party standpoint, as well as from the
point of capabllitv.
Miss Anna NJ. Lang, who IS named
for the receivership, is a civil service
clerk, who has served as a clerk in this
local office for eight years. She is re-
garded as one Of the most competent
persons in the land service.
Regarding the appointment OF his sue
cessor, Receiver Patterson said:
"The appointment OF my successor
was not unexpected, hut.I was not aware
"a to the person who would be indorsed
by Congressman Moody for my posti On
know that the President thought a
great deal OF Mr.. Moody, and in this
instance he used his prerogative and ap-
pointed Mr.. Mooiy's selection without
regard to the rest OF the delegation.
Miss Lang has been a clerk in the Land
Office, and Ia one of the most competent
persons | have ever met. Although not
on the same side OF the fence, in fac
tional sense. we have always been good
friends, and l sincerely congratulate
her. The patrons OF the office will find
her accommodating and well acquainted
with her duties.''

Irrigation committee to act and give the

fits of it's suggestions, it was necessary,
in order that the state be recognized,
that Representative Moody act on his
own responsibility.
Chief photographer Newe |, of the
Geological Su vey, who has charge of
the Government reclamation work, has
promised Representative Moody that h.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
4 milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
5tomachs.
Children take to it naturally

EMPEROR WILLIAM UNDERGoEs
AN OPERATION FOR AFFEc-
TON OF THE THROAT.
ROYAL PATIENT DOING WELL
HIS MAJESTY ENJoiNED FROM
SPEAKING UNTIL THE SUR
GicAL WOUND HEALS.

Berlin, Nov. emperor William
during the day underwent an operation
for the removal OF a polypus from his
larynx. The operation was performed
by Professor Moritz Schmidt and was
entirely successful. The only incon-
venience suffered by his majesty is
that he has been enjoined not to speak
until the. wound caused by the opera
ton has been healed. The bulletins
announcing the result of the opera
tion caused much establishment, even
among court officials, who had no JUS
picion that his majesty was suffering
from any affection of the throat. The
emperor himself appears not to have
known of the growth in his larynx un-
til a few days g and to have suffered
no discomfort from it.
The following is an authorized ac-
count OF the operation as given to the
North German Gazette:
"Potsdam, Nov. 9.-His majesty un-
derwent an operation for the removal
Of a polypus from his larynx. The op-
Grafton was performed by Professor
Moritz Schmidt, and was most sue
cessful. His majesty is not only e
Joined to speak until the wound
caused by the operation is healed"
The surgeons expect that the en-
peror will be out of doors in a week.
He has arranged a hunting trip for

Trinidad, Colo, Nov. Sit IL now
evident that the strike Of the coal
miners in the First district Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company is no
small affair. In fact, it Is a strike
out Of all proportions to that even
hoped for by the officers of the United
Mine Workers of America and ten
times what was looked for by the coal
operators. At the meeting Of superin-
tendents and pit bosses held in the
Colorado Fuel and Iron offices at Trim
idad last Thursday night reports were
made that in no camp would enough
men go out to cause a shutdown. 1t
is doubtful if enough men can be
found in the whole district to work
the mines at Primero. There is not
one mine in this section that can start
up with a half crew of miners. All
day the chiefs and miners have been
swarming into Trinidad, nearly all OF
them having their pay checks, UNI
ming from $187 down. The checks
were for such amounts that business
men could not cash them and hence
lost thousands Of dollars in trade.
The Colorado and Southern, Santa
Fe and Denver and Rio Grande rail-
road have reduced their crews nearly
one-half, it is said, while the Colorado
and Wyoming is practically out OF
business as a coal road.

EXTENSIVE LOTTERY sWINDLE
Police Unearth an Alleged Skin Game
at Lynn, Mass. ~

Lynn, Mass, Nov. 9.-What is be-
lieved to be an extensive swindle has
been brought to light by the police.
William S. Wells, forty-five years of
age, is under arrest charged with
printing lottery tickets and also lar
ceny and with obtaining money under
false pretenses. The police claim that
counterfeit tickets of several lotteries
have been sent from here to all parts
of the country. Wells made a par
tial confession in which he implicated
a man in Dayton, O., as being the head
of the plan and a New York man was
named as being the active manager.
The plan of operation, according to
Wells statement, was to get genuine
lottery tickets and have Photographic
plates made from them. A record was
kept of the numbers Of the tickets
and a list of drawing numbers was
SEM with each shipment, none of the
numbers of the drawing corresponding
with any number of q ticket in the
shipment.

Said John Mitchell Will Become a

Pittsburg. Nov. 9.-The Dispatch
publishes a story to the effect that
John Mitchell will not be a candidate
for reelection as president of the
United Mine Workers at the January
convention. This statement was
made by a close personal friend of Mr..
Mitchell during a short layover here

officials of the organization who are
on their way to Boston to attend the
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The announcement from this appar-
ent authentic source is raised above

cRANks ON THE INCREASE.
EIGHT Within a Month Tried to See
the President.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Another
crank, the eighth within a month, has
sought the president, but this time the
quest was made at the Capitol instead
of at the White House, thus varying
the monotony. The latest addition to
the crank colony at the government
hospital for the insane is Charles R.
Mosely, a negro, fifty years old, who
came here from Bent Creek. a small
place in Appamattox county, Vir-
ginia.
Mosely approached Capitol Guard
Mahoney and demanded that he in
stantly be conducted to the president.
He stated that his business was to
deliver a .divinely inspired message
revealed in a dream. He refused to
reveal the character of the message,
but he admitted that it had to do
with the president appointing negroes
to Office and how he could make Vir-
ginia go Republican.

CANNON CHOSEN SPEAKER.
Republican Congressman Hold Caucus
in Washington.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The caucus of
the house Republicans developed into
a love feast before it had been in ses
sion many minutes. There was only
one d%iscordant note and that was ex-
pected. Representative Hepburn made
an assault upon the rules, but, as was
generally predicted, the rules under
which the house has been conducted
since Thomas B. Reeds famous ruling
were adopted without modification.
Representative Babcock was groom
ed for chairman of the caucus, but the
Wisconsin member declined to enter
the race, stating that the honor should
be given to an older member. Mr..
Babcock then nominated Mr.. Hep
burn, of Iowa, who received the unan-
imous vote Of his colleagues.
Joseph G. Cannon was nominated
for speaker, and all of the old officers
of the house were reelected, as fol.
Henry Casson, sergeant,at-arms;
Frank B. Lyon, d~oorkeeper; J. G. Nc
Elroy, postmaster, and Rev. Henry D.

Mr.. Cannon awaited the result in
the offices of the committee on appro-
priations. He was informed of his
nomination for speaker by a commit
tee. Mr.. Cannon replied in a happy
vein to the formal announcement of
the committee and in a speech to the
caucus declared that it was his pur.

were amazed when informed that he
had committed suicide.
The motive of Notter's deed is a
mystery. His friends unanimously
declare that he was of a jovial dis
