No, we do not intend to advertise "grand

advertisements are simply burlesque and an

marked them up and then marked them down,

Hard coal Near Virginia City.

Work on the coal vein near Virginia
City has shown conclusively that the vein
is a permanent one and better than any of
the coal found IA the northwest" said ].
K Madison Of Helena, Mont. to a Star

the ranchers in the vicinity of the mines
have installed hard coal plants and are
making use of the new discovery In prac-
teal manner. A rich strike was recently
made In the whippoorwill mine, near yir
ginia City, and while drifting the pros
pectors struck a grade Of gold ore that
assays 1900 to the ton. The gold lead is
ten or twelve feet wide and clearly de-
fined"

cost and with great deal less risk The
output Of the latter fruit is growing with
each year, and oranges and lemons will be
made to take back seat to much larger
extent than heretofore."

Mississippi Whitecappers Cowed.

1.-The 'whitecapper' element In Mississippi
has been thoroughly cowed by the deter

officers of the law, and the combined ag-
gressiveness displayed by state and fed
eral authorities has had a most salutary
effect in the hotbeds Of outlawry," said
D. G. Harrison of jackson, Miss. to Star

one outbreak has been reported among the
'whitecappers' in the past few weeks. and
this occurred in a part Of the state that
has heretofore beer free from disturbances

PUsHCART MERCHANTS.
They Appear in the Police Court Many
Times a Year

The fruit and candy merchants who do
business from pushcarts along the business
thoroughfares present some amusing scenes
when the police raid them for standing too
long at one point. It frequently happens
that the raids are made about the time of
the day when the streets are most crowded,
and when the fleeing men rush pell NELL
through the throngs forgetting that they
are not the only people on the street.
II was standing on 7th street one day
when raid was made" business man
told Star reporter, land one Of the for
egners came tearing down the street. His
cart was piled with fruit and candy. and I
was so anxious to see what would be the
result of his sprinting that forgot my own
danger. Presently the cart bumped against
me and I found myself stretched at full
length on the asphalt covered with what
had formed the contents of the cart The
entirely my fault, and all could do was to
assist the man to pick up his Stock
Pushcart merchants pay many fines In
the Police Court for these alleged street OBJ
structions. The raids are made at short In
tervals. and the policeman who has MANY
such merchants on his beat has no difficulty
in making a showing at the end of each
quarter SO far as the number of arrests
counts. -
ut is astonishing how much money these
men pay in fines during the course of
year., a policeman remarked while the
question was being discussed. Some of
the men are arrested every few days. and
they pay from 81 to IS each time they go
to court. Seldom do any of them succeed
In getting acquitted"
The policeman explained that arrests are
often made because of complaints received
about the dealers who do business from
the carts.
Merchants, pedestrians and drivers enter
complaints against them. Many times the
merchants who do business from the carts
obstruct the entrances to business houses
and drivers have to call upon the police to
make them move away. Policemen con-
slider that the men should not remain In one
place more than five or ten minutes unless
they are actually making sales.

Mexicans Excited Over OIL.

: "Mexicans are now greatly excited over
the strike Of oil recently made In the vi

shott of Ell Paso Tex. to Star man at
the Raleigh this morning. ION has been
found In merchantable quantities. and the
people are sinking wells as fast as possi-
Bile, In order to get the benefit of the OUT
put. It is believed by prospectors that oil
lies underneath the surface in the entire

"There was every Indication that spring

ticks, and now the trees are out in fairly
good leaf. Already the warmth of the air

Warm Political Fight in Mississippi.

1.-THE political situation is waxing warm
