George Mudgett, treasurer OF Spo-

Division street and A. NJ. Robinson. a
prominent farmer of the Dry Creek

have just returned from a short trip
to Chicago where Treasurer Mudgett
succeeded in placing 100000 of Spo-
kane countys bonds at Az per cent
interest per annum, replacing 20-year
bonds bearing per cent interest.
Mr.. Mudgett expressed himself well
pleased at the success of the trip. l
had no difficulty in placing the bonds
at Az per cent interest and it would
have been an easy matter to have
placed twice the amount he said, IN
discussing the condition of the money

is evidenced by Spokane county being
able to place a big issue at low rate

son, n. j., for the purpose of demon-
strating the workings of a silk manu-
factory. and which is probably the first
loom of the kind ever operated on Pu-
get Sound, was started in operation
here Monday night. The machine win
simply turn out souvenir handerchiefs
during the next few weeks for the Holt
day trade, and after that an effort will
be made to get sufficient backing, on
the strength of the showing made, to
insure the location here of a large silk
factory. Both the promoters are men
with years of experience in the silk
business at Paterson, the headquarters
of that industry in the United States.
They say that a factory on the Sound
has great advantage over the East
ern factories in the matter Of freight
rates on the raw silk. most of which Is
imported from the Orient. The SOU
venir handkerchiefs they are now
turning out bear on them a woven
representation of the Whatcom nor
NAL school building and are very beau
tiful in appearance. Not only hank
kerchiefs, but dress goods and other
such large work can be done on the
loom now here. The prospects for the
obtaining of the necessary capital for
the establishment of the new indus
try here are very bright.

CRAZED BY HYPNOTISM.
SINGULAR Case of O'Shea Committed
to Fergus Falls Hospita!

FERGUE FALLS, Mimi. Dec. 10
Sheriff Bailey was down from the vi
cinitv of Memidji today with an insane
man named George O'Shea, who was
committed to the hospital The case
is a peculiar one O'Shea having evil
IDENTIFY been the victim of hynot1st.
He imagines at times that he is being
hypnotized and acts exactly like one
under hypnotic influence, even becom-
ing absolutely rigid-a condition
which no ordinary individual could
feign. The authorities believe he has
been subjected to hypnatic influence
and has never fully recovered.
Herman Schmalz, a young man,
has patented what is known as safe
ty pipe, the coptrivance being shaped
somewhat like cigar, and construed
partly of wood and partly of asbestos.
1t is closed in such a manner that no
ashes can fall from it, and it can be
smoked with safety in a powder mag

PLENTY OF FORAGE

Trip Through Grande Ronde

Robert H. Johnson, proprietor of
the Electric Feed mills in Third street
has returned from a weeks business
trip through the Grande Ronde valley
There is little snow in that section
said this morning in speaking of con-
ditions in eastern Oregon. Il drove
pretty much over the valley and was
surprised at the general prosperous
condition of the country.
up to this time the stock and sheep
men have had to do very little feeding
although they have plenty of forage
for a hard winter. The range along
the foothills is very good and should
there be little snowfall the cattlemen
will pull through the winter in fine
shape.
Cattle and sheep are commanding
fair prices and with a favorable year
the stock interests have been prosper
Gus this season. The rumOrS of
dried up range and lack of hay is in
my estimation all bosh. Every point
visited there seemed to be any guam
tity of hay and forage and as a con-
sequence the price is not soaring to
figures that have been reported. Of
course hay is selling at fair prices but
it is not prohbitive for stockmen to
feed during the winter which they are
prepared to do should it be necessary
Mr.. johnson visited La Grande
Union and other points in the valley
and reports all the towns are very
prosperous Merchants are doing a
good business and al in all the coun-
try appears to be in very prosperous
condition.

Cleveland Would be STRONGER.

Cleveland Would be STRONGER.
Mr. Hanna has never believed the
democratic party would nominate ex-
president Cleveland next year, though
| he has not denied that, in his opinion,
MI Cleveland would prove the strong
est candidate that party could put
! up. He has inclined to the opinion
that it would be impossible for the de-
mocrats to nominate the ex-president
on account Of the fierce and unyielding
opposition of the Bryan democrats of
the west and a considerable share of
the democrats of the south who are
not favorable to Mr. Bryan, but who
dislike Mr.. Cleveland as result of
old scores
a number of southern democrats
have told Mr.. Hanna that if Mr.. Cleve
land We're to be nominated they could
not guarantee democratic success in
their states. One of the most promi
nent men from Texas, representing his
state in congress, declared that in his
opinion the nomination of Cleveland
would result in Texas giving her cleo
toral vote to Roosevelt. This man
said scores of prominent democrats
of his acquaintance had told him they
would vote for Roosevelt if Cleveland
We're made their party candidate. and
| a number of them added that they
would not only bolt the ticket, but
would take the stump for Roosevelt.
