BAIN'S REPORT Or MINES.
vii! Cause Slump In Mining Stocks,
And Discourage Miners.

Guthrie, Ok, Dec. 31.-United States
Attorney Speed of this city has re-
ceived Il letter from Secretary Hitch
cock announcing that Government
Assayer Balm, under the direction of
the interior department, has examined
the Wichita mountains, which have
been doomed during the last six
months as collaborating country and
had found that none of the assays
showed ore in the proper sense of the
word, and that the region has no pres
ent or prospective value as mineral
producer. AS a result of this finding
many thousands of dollars which have
been invested in the fields by capital
lists all over the United States will be
lost, the two thousand miners who are
in the mines, and most of whom are
contesting the entries of the home
steaders and trying to establish miner
al rights must move and the home
steaders will receive their final proofs.
Bain's report may not be accepted as
conclusive by some but it will at least
stop the selling of stock and the fur
ther development of the region for a
few years at least.

CLOSES NINETEEN THEATERS.
Mayor Harrison Finds That Ordinances
Are Generally Violated.

Chicago, Jan. mayor Carter Har-
rison has taken steps to provide as far
as possible against repetition of the
recent horror at the Iroquois theater
AS result of an investigation made at
his orders and lasting but a few hours,
nineteen theaters and museums were
ordered closed, some of them being
among the leading and most popular
playhouses in the city. The action of
the mayor was based on one single vio-
intended to protect the patrons of
theaters from just such an occurrence
of that which cost so many lives on
Wednesday. This was that every one
of these places had omitted to supply
an asbestos curtain.
The mayor said: Il could not see any
explanation for the disaster except the
failure of the curtain to come down.
tried a lot of the doors and they seemed
to open easily. 1t is all very well to
say that the great loss of life in the
Iroquois theater was due to the fact
that the people lost their heads and
crowded into the doorways and aisles
like maniacs, but the fact remains, and
it cannot be denied, that there would
have been no panic if the apparatus in
this theater, which, judged by all
ordinary standards, was the best
equipped playhouse in the city, had
been in proper working order. There
is no getting beyond the fact. From
all the evidence now in hand it is clear
that if the asbestos curtain in this
theater had been down there would
have been no loss of life, compare
lively speaking"

FLOOD MADE THEM CASH.
Farms Eeriilized By Sediment Bringing
Fire Second Crop.

Emporia, Ks, Jan. 4.-The farmers
here who were complaining last sum-
mer about the destructive flood of June
are now shocking corn, measuring
grain and telling of the wonderful
amount of good the flood wrought on
their bottom farms. 1t is fact that
the flood did thousands of dollars
worth of damage to the bottom farms,
but at the same time it deposited on
the fields where it stood several inches
of rich sediment which could not be
eXcelled as fertilizer. The corn
grown after the flood in the flood dis
tricts is some of the best corn ever
grown in the county. Flowing the
fields after the flood mixed the flood
sediment with the soil. In many in
stances the yield of farms has been in
created from % to so per cent, the
farmers say.
Corn planted as late as June has
made as high as 60 and 20 bushels to
the acre. Generally corn planted that
late would not mature. Last July the
farmers predicted the latter flood
corn would make only fodder, but it is
the finest they ever grew. A short
time ago a firm here offered prizes fo1
the largest corn in the county. Ray
mond Fowler won first prize for corn
planted after the food and Walter
Dumbold for the best corn outside OF
the flood district. The latter flood
corn was as large as the early corn.

Any man who wishes perfect health must

Peruna is the only absolute safeguard

To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Peruna not
