A Business Proposition.

One business man Of this city has q
broad head. He has grubstaked cou-
pie Of thorough prospetors who are to
put In the winter looking over the min.
eral deposits in this immediate section.
The man who is furnishing the cash
figures it in a business way Providing
one mine Is found in the immediate
neighborhood Of Carson, the entire
commonwealth profits thereby.
AS many fine specimens have been
uncovered and in some instances there
are known ledges, it is pretty safe
proposition that a mine is to be founj
in some Of the localities. This example
set by one of our business men should
be followed by others who have the
cash in hand and the interests Of the
city at heart.
One mine would make Carson tho
best town in the State and it Is the
most favorably located Of any Of the
sections for reduction plants and mills
of any Of the mining districts. 1t is d
first rate scheme.

rible scene.
Mt Z. P. Esser, of this city, has re-
ceiNed word that a cousin perished in
the flames, while another cousin was
dangerously injured One of the dis
tressing features of this particular
case is the fact that the father of the
dead child and the injured one is Wis
iting on this coast and was informed
by telegraph of the news It is only
when such horrors reach home that
tie magnitude and general effect Of 1t
can be felt. Several other parties ha
relatives killed, while many count
friends who perished. 1t is a terrible
affair and every one extends the fellow
h9HG of sympathy to those who have
suffered loss by the calamnit.

SCENT MURDER IN
DEATH OF LOOMS
English Officials Think Amer.
ican Diplomat Met With
Foul Play

LONDON, July 17.-Reports to the
Press association and the Central News
assert that a further examination of
the body of F. Kent Loomis, which was
found yesterday at Warren Point, some
fifteen miles from Plymouth, has given
rise to grave suspicious on the part of
the local officials that Mr.. Loomis met
with foul play.
The wound behind the right ear is
described as being circular, large and
clean, and it is thought that it was in
ficted before death. 1t is surmised
that Mr.. Loomis' body fell into the
water near the Eddystone lighthouse
Joseph G. Stevens. American consul
at Plymouth, in response to a telegram
sent by the Associated Press tonight,
asking him if the local reports of foul
play had any basis, or if he had any
ground for suspicion regarding the
death of Mr.. Loomis, replied:
Il regret I cannot make any state
ments prior to the inquest, which will
be held tomorrow. The wound on the
head back Of the right ear is the size
of half dollar. The body is fairly
preserved, especially about the top and
back of the head, considering the time
it has been in the water"

CHICAGO, July 17.-In an attack
this afternoon on four colored non
union men by mob composed of spec
tators at an amateur baseball game in
the vicinity of the stock yards, two
white men, one policeman and the fo1.s
non union men were severely injured.
Revolyers and knives were used and
three of the injured men are in a seri-
Gus condition.
After finishing their days work at
Schwarzchild and Sulzbergers plant,
the four colored non-union men on
their way home had to pass the
grounds where an amateur baseball
game was in progress. There We're full
ly 1000 persons watching the game,
most of whom were friends of the men
who went on strike last week AS the
four workmen approached the place
some one in the crowd yelled and in
stantly rush was made for the ne
groes.
Two of the negroes had revolvers and
knife and as the mob started for them
they drew their weapons Before they
could use them, however, they were
knocked to the ground by a dozen
white men. One of the negroes named
Baker, scrambled to his feet and be-
gan slashing right and left, and before
the knife could be taken away from
him he had stabbed James Kiely near
the heart.
Another of the negroes fired into the
crowd, two bullets hitting Tom Durand
one of the attacking party.

There is an unusually large acreage
of corn in Minnesota this year. al
though it is snallNr than usual in the
two Dakotas. In Minnesota it is esti-
mated to- be 8 per cent larger. than
the 1903 acreage; in North Dakota it
is believed to be 20 per cent less than
last year, and. in South Dakota 13 per
cent less. In Minnesota, this years
acreage is estimated at 1,554,241. and
this, on the basis of last years average
yield, will produce 43,985, ,020 bushels of
corn. The 1903 crop was 4O7,26,870.
Vastly larger areas were devoted to
fax last year than this year, in Minne-
sofa and the Dakotas. The acreage in
Minnesota is. only ~ per cent, in North
Dakota only 68 per cent, and in South
Dakota only So per cent as large as
it was, last year. This will mean. of
course, tremendous reduction in the
total crop of these three great flax

KIDNAPPED
Weird Tale of Daylight Outrage
in New York

NEW YORK, July Judge Dennis
Daniel McKoon, a New York lawyer,
has disappeared and the police have
been notified by 7. w. Darby, a friend
and business associate, that he was
kidnapped in lower Broadway shortly
before noon on Friday last and is now
being held for ransom.
Letters have been received from Judge
McKoOn, Mr.. Darby says, asking that
$1,000 demanded for his release be paid.
According to these letters Judge Nc
Koon, who is 76 years old, met three
men who had arranged business ap-
pointment with him on Friday and they
took him TO a house, the location of
which was unknown to him, where he
is kept prisoner.
The letters, he wrote, We're thrown
out of window to boy who was
passing.
When asked if Judge MeKoon had
ever disappeared in this way before,
Mr.. Darby said that he had not. Capt.
Iangan, of the detective bureau, how
ever, said tonight that Judge McKoon
had several times been reported to the
police headquarters as missing, and
that each time he subsequently turned
up all right.

Three Dead; Many Frustrated
by Terrific Heat in
Chicago

CHICAGO, July 17.-This was the
hottest day Chicago has experienced in
three years, and three deaths and a
score of prostrations was the result.
The maximum temperature of "a de-
grees beats any record in the weather
bureau since July ri, 1901. when a
temperature of 103 degrees was record.
ed Since then the mercury has not
risen in Chicago, according to the off
clal reports, above go until today.
The heat and sultriness came with
the rising of the sun. At s o'clock If
was 81 degrees and shortly after noon
the 80 mark had been reached. From
this point the mercury crept steadily
upward, reaching the high mark of 81
at o'clock, and remained there for
over two hours. There was scarcely any
breeze and the suffering was intense.
In the downtown district the heat was
several degrees greater than the off,
cial records show.
At 10 o'clock tonight the heat showed
little Abatement and the opinion of
the weather forecaster was that no
marked decrease would be noted for a
day or two yet.

Strike Situation Unchanged
CHICAGO, July 17.-There was lit

With Michael J. Donnelly, the strik-
ers' leader in ST. Louis looking after
that end of the difficulty, there was no
effort here today to renew the peace
negotiations which lasted through three
days last week and were terminated
last night without results.
Whether another attempt to reach an
adjustment of the controversy by ar
bitration will be made is problematic
as the packers, believing they had the
better of the argument in last weeks
conferences, are little inclined to offer
any concessions to the strikers One
thing is certain, the packers say, and
that is that they will not recede from
the position they assumed in last weeks
conferences and that the strikers will

The potato acreage in Minnesota is
estimated to be SO per cent as large
as 1t was last year; in North Dakota
103 per cent, and in South Dakota 102
per cent. The total potato crop of the
three states should be larger than it
was last year, provided the average
yield per acre is not smaller than it
was in 1903. The estimated acreage in

ing to the July reports to the agrieul-
tural department. The acreage in some

uge under the dancing platform, and
was there shot and killed by Policeman
John P. Gerrity.
Conrans fight with the crowd had
caused a call to be sent in for police
reserves, and when they arrived several
in the crowd told the officers that the
man who did the shooting was under
the platform. Nothing was said about
Conran being detective, nor of his
having shot in self defense.
Gerrity crawled under the platform
and ordered Conran to come out. Re-
ceiving no answer he fired and Conran
was instantly killed.

by Conran during the attack, were
from this city. Neither was danger
