New York. March 5--Little John Slobus-
XIV died late wednesday night at No. 1876

senical poisoning He fell III on Tuesday

candy on a stick. which he said he got

Johnny Slobusky was eight years old.
He was one Of five children. He often did
chores and ran errands for Burchardt.
The man at first denied that he ever gave
the boy candy, but presently showed
reporter several samples Of what he called
suckers" blobs OF green on sticks.
They're not poisonous, though, said
Burehardt, for ] often eat them myself
and they don't make me sick"
A reporter found DR. w. Thompson

from eating poisoned candy I was under
the impression that candies are colored

Or. Darlington, health commissioners,
told reporter he was having an investi-

I'VE must look the facts I'm the face

Of the Japanese alliance One OF these
consequences was the active and bitter
hostility OF Russia and the opportunity

SITUATION IMPROVED.
Paris. March 5.-To the qualification OF
France. better relations between Russia
and Great Britain are promised, as the
result OF the visit to St Petersburg OF
Count Benckendorff. the Russian am
bassador 10 Great Britain.
From the authoritative source it Is
learned that Count Benckendorff not
only carried verbal assurances OF the alb
solute neutrality Of Great Britain I'm the
war, but that he was the bearer OF docu-
ments establishing the facts that the
London government did not want war
and had used determined efforts TO pre-
vent II, urging on Japan the fact that
the British press did not represent the
attitude and wishes OF the British gov
ernment
Official advices from st. Petersburg
show that Count Benckendorffs repre-
sentations cleared away many suspicious
entertained by the Russian authorities
Russia does not desire unfriendly re-
lations with Great Britain. She there
fore met the British government halfway
and II IS understood that count Bencken-
dorn was charged with most conciliatory
messages by the czar.

s .,NKLY OWNED HIS FAULT.
Incident Of Recent Occurrence Illus
trating French Army Discipline -
IA Grenadier,e offense.

"a Although there has been complaint
of late about growing lack OF disci-
pline in tho ranks OF the French army,
the decentralization has not. 1t Is bv-
lieyed, progressed seriously, as the
following incidents, coming from u
French naval port. will illustrate:
A general holding high command
made his appearance n few days ago
at tho barracks of an infantry regi-
ment, which, in obedience to his or
ders, was promptly drawn up in the
yard. Then he explained the reason
in brief address. He said that as
he was walking In tho town attired
in mufti on the previous day man
belonging to the corps. who was the
worse for liquor, accosted him rudely
and asked him to stand him a drink.
Let him step out of the ranks" he
concluded.
Immediately a bugler emerged, and.
saluting, said: 1T Is 1, mon general" !"
The incident Is characteristic and
apropos of 1t one Is reminded Of such
an adventure which bofell n certain
French marshal A grenadicr. who
was exasperated at some injustice
that had been done him, pointed his pis-
tol at him and pulled the trigger, but 1t
did not go Off Without moving q
muscle, the veteran cried: -Four days
in the cells for keeping your arms In
bad state" The bugler's honesty
can scarcely have failed to be an ex-
tenuation Of his offense in the eyes
of the general.

MAKING PRECIOUS STONES
Chips of the Ruby Turned Into Stones
OF Commercial SiHe---Are Pro-
nounced Genuine

Rudolph Oblatt. n chemist and ex-
pert on precious stones. Is reported 10
have invented a process for the fusinG
OF particles OF ruby, known as ruby
waste, into stones of commercial
size. The stones which he has pro
duced have received considerable at
toIti0n from local geolorists and are
pronounced genuine lie selects. says
the New York Commercial from the
small. rough, genuine ruby particles
whose colOrs and qualities are prac-
tically the same. one chip he places
upon the top OF G-3haped platinum
tube. lie then applies the Neat. which
is concentrated by special process
and forced upon the ruby with an air
pressure OF 500 pounds. Az the chip Is
melted he adds other chips until he
has built up n genuine ruby whose
weight varies from i've TO ton carats.
The operation requires from one to two
hours
After the ruby has been produced
difficult task remains that OF cooling
Of the stone. which Is at tremendous
heat This IS accomplished by Il sci
entiHc process which prevents cracking
Tho ruby is sent to the precious stone
cutters. whore it passes exactly
through the same process as a stone
from the Burmah mines.

DANGERS OF CIVILIZATION.
Bashfu Young Man Has a Streak of
Hard Luck at His Best
4 Girls Home.

A young man from Silver Lake
called to spend the evening with a
Castle Rock girl the other night, says
the Castle Rock (Ore) Advocate. A
storm came up and the girls father
asked him to remain over night. He
was bashful young man and the next
morning when he was invited to a seat
at the table he very reluctantly accept
ed. He was very nervous and agitated.
He sat opposite the mirror and discov-
cred that he had forgotten to comb his
hair. Then he dropped his fork on the
floor and as he stopped to pick 1T up he
upset his coffee Matters went from bad
to worse until the young man quit eat
ing and put his hands under the table.
The loose end of the tablecloth was ly-
ing in his lap and when he touched 1t
he turned palo. He thought 1t was his
shirt and in his nervous excitement
while dressing he had forgotten to put
the garment inside his trousers. There
was no time to lose. He hurriedly
stuffed the supposed shirt inside his
trousers. Two minutes later when the
family arose from the table there was q
crash. The dishes lay in broken mass
ga the floor. The young man pulled
three feet Of the tablecloth out of his
pants and fed through the door. He Is
now hiding and the girl is looking for

MAKING CHEAP MUTTON.
LRmb for an Uneertain Chans's
OF Rise Ia Price.


A subscriber asks in somewhat dis
couraged tone, how 10 produce NUT
ton at present prices with amy profit
A large part cf the secret lies in the
high feeding of young, growing an.
imals. The younger the animal the
larger the amount OF gain it will = AXE
for the food consumed. Mutton anC
beef producers seem not to have
learned this so generally as pork pro
duccrs. But it is true in Il greater &c.
gree Of mutton than OF pork. The lamt
may be brought To mature weight
more quickly than any o;hcr aniu.Hl
1t is too late now to figure on very
large profits from feeding last splins's
lambs. The only class of lambs ,Dat
it will pay to feed through the entire
winter is Merinos that will yield eight
pounds OF washed or ten pounds OF
unwashed wool. They develop slower
than the mutton breeds and the growth
of wool will almost pay for the feeG
needed 20 keep them growing nicely
and they may be rapidly finished upon
the fresh pasture If May.
But it will take more than half the
'NNN w Sibh a IulllI
to 40 pounds at five months old than
it will to make him weight 90 at ter
months. Lambs with strongly marked
mutton characteristics shou!d be mar.
keted before they are six months cid.
There is sometimes prCht in buying
this class OF lambs at seven or eight
months OF age u cent less per Dur,nJ
than they will bring when tin.h tor
market, and then puahing them 10 the
finish as rapidly as possible. Iiis
should be done in so or lOO days a
lamb that has once got poor vii! not
make muney for either grower or
feeder.
Another element figuring largely in
determining the measure Of profits is
selling when tho lambs are fnished,
1t does not pay TO feed Il rat lamb for
an uncertain chance of rise in price
{, The altogether best rule is TO get your
lambs ready for the market in the
, shortest possible time and let them go.

were not fat l. should hold them over

Yesterday Chairman Bowen. of. the Supervisors. received the original plans of the new branch county jail that is to oe built on Pythian Avenue. The building will be handsome struc- lure. and an addition to the street. II has more the appearance of business building than a jail. the grated win dows being the only mark of jail about the building.
 It will be two stories high, r feet in the front ard 33 feet deep.
 The first story will be stone, the second story brick, with pressed brick trimmings.
 The front. which will face Pythian Ave. has one beam oak door facing the street on the first floor and two tarred windows upstairs. these win dows overlooking the street.
 On the first floor there is passage, the jailer's office or ante room. and the pen for the vags, drdnks and com mon prisoners, and a set of toilet rooms. Upstairs there is an ante loom, six cells of steel bars surround ed by passage. and store room. These cells are for the detention of prisoners charged with felonies. or do ing time for some particularly bad crime. Each cell is provided with a separate toilet.
 The building is perfectly fire proof. the floors being cement over steel beams, and all doors connecting the various rooms are of steel plates.
 When completed this building will cost SIP 900. and will be one of the finest structures of the kind in Arizo- Ia. J. NJ. Cahoon is the architect.
