Government, that the capital of the
new republic be not located in either
Panama or Colon, was not pressed by
Secretary Hay when he found that the
Panama Government was earnestly OPP
posed to it, and the treaty makes no
such provision. This, however. is not
regarded by the Secretary as a vital
point in view of the extensive rights
which the United States has through
out the canal strip, and its especially
wide jurisdiction in the terminal cities.
This is the only point In the negotla-
tons which caused the expression OF
difference Of opinion.
No time will be lost by Panama in

REMEDY FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
MOSCOW, Nov. 1s.-Remarkable
cures of consumption have recently
been effected in Russia by kisel Zago-
ranski, formerly mining engineer
and now specially licensed by the Rus
sian Medical Department TO practice
medicine in cases of tuberculosis
Zagoranski, who is a personal frieno
of Samuel Smith, the United States
Consul here, gives an account OF the
origin of his consumption cure, from
which il appears that Zagoransd tnir-
ty years ago was sent to Siberia to
superintend extensive mining works.
The medical facilities there were ex-
tremely limited and Zagoransh himself
attended to the medical wants OF the
workmen to the best of his ability.
An old foreman Of the mine, how
ever, always took care of the tuber-
culosis cases, and almost invariably
cured them. The foreman died some
years ago. eonfding his secret TO Zago-

ROBBERS ARE ROUTED
Bank1Safe Door Blown off but No
thing Secured.

Vincent, Ia, Jan 24.-78t an early
hour this morning an attempt was
made to loot the State bank at this
place. The safe of the bank, which is
not enclNsed in a vault, was known to
contain & large amount of money and
that is supposed to have prompteddhe
6esperadoes to attempt to rob it.
Three young men who were returning
from a party in the country at an
early hour are supposed to have fright,
eusd the men away, as when the young
mel were coming into own they no
ticeal some men disappear down a side
alley. They thought nothing of the
matter at the time. This morning 1t
was discovered that the building occu-
pied by the bank had been entered and
that several charges of explosives had
already been discharged. The safe
containing the money that the robbers
were after had one door blown off ana
another had been ~loosened.. On the
front steps of the building were found
a large amount of dynamite and a can
of nitro-glycerine. The men are sup
posed to have been professionals.

Little Girl Ate s~trychnine Pills as Well
as Candy.

Newton, Ia, Jan. 24.-The mystery
of the death of the 18-months old daug-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Meredith,
who live near Sully, was solved today
when the coroner filed his report show
ing the child to have been the victim
of accidental poisoning by strychnine.
The first story was that death resulted
from eating highly colored cheap
candy. On the day the child died the
father took home a quantity of candy
and divided it among his three chill
dren. After the baby ate her share
she was taken violently sick and died
in an hour and a half. The coroner
found that the child had in some man
e secured possession Of some medi-
cal tablets which we're in the house
for the use of another member of the
family and had eaten them. Each
tablet contained 1.60 of a grain Of
.strychnine. The attending physician
reported at the time that the death
resulted from strychnine.

GONE Up THE FLUME
Thirty Thousand Dollars Of oska,
loosa Cash is Lost.

A considerable number of Oskaloosa
parties are said to have been caught
in the disaster that came to the
"Cleage Commission Company" of St.
Louis in the recent slump in corn on
the Chicago board of trade dealings.
A goodly amount Of Oskaloosa mon
ey v~ariously estimated at between
twenty and thirty thousand dollars
went up in the deal and those who
have been hoping to receive promised
dividends and profits are now holding
the sack. Their speculation has fail
ed.
Those who put money into the hands
of the "Cleage Commission" did so
at their OWN risk. There was a prom
Use OF a profit but nothing more. 1t
was a speculation pure and simple.
The investment was made through the
commission firm and Cleage &c Co.
were careful to claim their per cent
of all moneys handled.
The OskaloOsa persons who invest
ed money in the deal are not alone in
their sorrow over the loss of funds for
the firm is said TO have operated large
ly in all parts Of the state and it is
said IN Ottumwa alone that more than
fifty thousand dollars have been lost
in the deal.
The company has mailed its many
patrons a circular setter explaining
how their money has gone up in
smoke, as it were. They tell of the
hard work expended in the interests
of the" customer and the regret that
the deal was disastrous is almost tear
full. The fellows who brought disaster
to the Cleage deals are term "despic-
able" and many other nice things are
saidtof them.
The circular concludes with an APP
peal for the customer to try it all over
again and send some more money to
the commission Immediately and with
out delay for there are other deals on
foot that are very promising and sure
to be~rsuccessful, etc, etc. Up to date
there has been Iittbe, if any, additional
Oskdioosa savings and money sent to
the fellows for further speculation.

John MITCHELL DEAD.
Passing of a Mahaska Pioneer and
Large Land Holder.

New Sharon, Jan. 22,-Yesterday at
i o'clock p. m. occurred the death Of
John w. Mitchell at his residence in
Madison township. His was a long,
painful illness, with many compiled
tons. The best medical skill was
summoned but without avail. Mr.. Nit
chell was among the first settlers in
his community and has always been
known as a manof industrious habits,
He was the father of FIVE sons and
four daughters, all of whom were at
his bedside, excepting Elmer, who has
a government position at Washington
ID. G.
Mr.. Mitchell was born in Carroll
county, Indiana, Jan. "a, 1880. He re-
moved with his family from Carroll
to Parke county and remained with
them until 1850 when he crossed the
plains of the Great American desert
to California and followed mining for
three years. In 1853 he came to Ma
haska county, whittier the family in
the mean time had removed. In 1854
he again went to the Golden State
remaining upon the Pacific slope until
1860 and then came back to Iowa. In
1861 he was united in marriage with
Miss Eyeline Howar, a daughter OF
Daniel and Susan Howar. After his
marriage he settled In section ., Madi-
son township where he resided until
his death.
He was one OF the largest lanl own.
ers in this section being the pCoprie.
tor of over 1000 acres. His land Is
principally devoted to stock raising,
in which business Mr.. Mitchell occu,
pied a leading position among the
farmers of Mahaska county. He was
a most estimable citizen in all re,
spects, fully deserving the esteem ii
his neighbors and business associates.
Life with him was earnest, and in a
great measure successful. He was
the architect Of his own fortune. The
ability to plan and execute, combined
with clear headed management and
prudent foresight, were the elements
that contributed to his enviable posi-
ton both socially and financially, while
his integrity and uprightness com
mended him morally to the respect OF
all who knew him.

TWO YEARS. WEATHER
Hot Dry Season More Favorable
Than Cooler One.

Des MDines, Jan. 26.-Director Sage,
of the Iowa weather and crop service,
has just completed the tabulating of
an interesting comparison of climatic
conditions in Iowa during the extreme
ily dry year of 1901 and the wet season
Iof 1902. His averages are figured
from a compilation of figures reported
10 him from every station of the e
vice in Iowa, and apply to the entire
state and not to a locality. He said:
I'm the mean temperature Of the
two years the, difference was ong IL
degrees, but in the three summer
months the daily average temperature
was Z degrees higheC in 1901 than in
1892. And following the cool and ex-
c~easively wet summer of 1902 the
daily temperature of September was
SO degrees below normal, which so
disastrousIy affected TIE corn crop in
the ripening period.
THE most striking contrast in these
two years was in the amount of rain
fall in the critical months of the crop
season. The cgops in 1901 suffered
materially from effects of excessive
heat, and the qSality Of the products
of 1902 was greatly impaired by ex-
cessive rains, floods and winds The
precipitation in 1901 was g5.6S inches
below normal, and in 1902a was 1852
inches above normal, or 1920 inches
in excess of the amount IN the pre-
ce6ing year. This difference in rain
fall was most marked in the period
from May 1 to September l., the
amount for 1901 being 9.69 inches,
and IN 1902 $3.50 inches. These fig
ures represent the averages for the
state, and this implies that consider
able portions of the state received
very mach more than the total given
above.
I'm 1901 there were 178 clear, 103
partly cloudy, and "a cloudy days. In
1902 the numbers were 145 clear, 400
partly cloudy and Ill cloudy days.
The average number of days on which
.O1 inch or more rain fell for all sta
lions Of record, was "A in 1901, and
100 in 1902. The excess of eloudiness
and rainfall in the latter year occur
red in the crop season. AS a matter
of course, with such a notable differ
ence in the precipitation, the last
year brought much greater amount OF
destruction to property ~ wind, hail
and lightning. The people who are
most interested in the crops of the
state were seriously alarmed and ex-
cited on account of the drouth and
heat of 1901; but, though less fright
ened, they really suffered greater
damage from effects of the abnormal
conditions in 1902"

FOR THE GUARD
Iowa Troops Will Soon be Equipped
With New Arms.

Des Moines, Jan. 24.-The Iowa Ma
tionaI Guard will be equipped with
Krag-Jorgenson rifles this spring, it is
expected. Adjutant General Byers
has not yet returned from Washing
ton and the full details of his arrange
ments for the equipment of the Guard
under the new Dick bill, just signed by
President Roosevelt, will not be known
until his return. 1t is the understand
ing here, however, that every enlisted
man belonging to the guard when the
bill was signed is entitled to a Krag.
Jorgenson rifle and the full equipment
allowed an enlisted man of the regular
army. 1t is the understanding that on
his return, Adjutant General Byers
will certify the number of men on the
rolls of the guard to Adjutant General
Corbin and make a requisition for the
number of Krag rifles to equip that
number. The old Springfield rifles
with all ammunition and accoutre-
ments, will be turned over to the war
department and the modern magazine
rifles will be received in return.
The discarding of the obsolete
Springfield is something long desired
by the guard, and it is believed
with the equipment the mod
ern arm will go a long way to
improve its efficiency. Another fea-
ture Of the new Dick bill which is
pleasing to the new guardsmen pro-
vides that members of the guard shall
be paid while in camp at the regular
army rate. This means a guardsman
will receive pay at the rate of SIS per
month in addition to the pay Of the
state while In camp.

WAS TOO SLOW.
a Blue Grass Goer Could Not Keep Up
With the oskaioosa Gait.

Several cases of i~ntoxication came
before Mayor Wray this morning and
the usual punishment was melted out
to the offenders. One Of the misere-
ants of the morning was a fellow
from Bowling Green, Kentucky. He
tried to show the town how it was
done. He had been in Oska-
loosa before and did not know how
fast the old horse could trot when
once warmed up. The pace was en-
tirely too hot for the boy from the lit
tie village in Kentucky and he was
soon butting against a stone wall. He
didn't have a single new trick n the
mayor gave him thirty days in jail.
A couple Of vagrnts happened IN
the city and were caught, as the city
needs some extra labor on the streets.

Snake River improvements.

| The steamer Imnaha will leave in the
morning for the upper river where 1t
will be engaged in assisting the govern
ment engineers to clear the Snake river
channel Of its worst shoals. The last
two days the crew has been busy Stow
ing 70 tons of coal on board TO be used
upon the trip. Two IoxIo timbeFs 10
feet long have been taken aboard to pro-
vide for a platform from the bow to the
rocks and reefs that the engineers will
blow to atoms with heavy charges of
dynamite. The boat expected to leave
the city this morning but delay was
caused by a hitch at Spokane and the
Burnley drill to be used in the blasting
work did not arrive on the train last
night.
The current of the river on the rapids
at this low stage of water has become so
swift that it is impossible for Engineer
Winslow to accompl sh anything on his
small boats and his crew will be added
to that of the Imnaha for the trip.
The first work will be done at Buffalo
rock twenty miles above Lewiston.
Then the boat will follow the current
and work where Capt. Harry Baughman
considers the channel needs clearing
The rock at Sheep camp has been torn
away and no work will be needed there.
The supply of provisions and fuel will
last about three weeks and the officers
expect to keep their boat out daring
that time.
The steamer Norma which is on dry
dock at Riparia will be put into service
