CLEVELAND, o., July 31.-A crash
of thunder woke up Leola Morton,
daughter of Melville Morton, early in
the morning in time to save her father
from death ON account of chloroform
administered by burglars. The bur-
glars had broken in and chloroformed
Morton and had succeeded in ransack-
ing the house, securing a small amount
of booty. when a terrible thunder
storm broke, waking the daughter. She
was hurrying to her fathers room
when she perceived the odor of the
drug and called for help. Morton was
revived after neighbors had worked for
an hour over him

BAD LESSON IN FINANCE.

Senator Frye and Chaplain Hale were

way of Quakers, whereupon Senator
Frye remarked:

well, how was that?' asked the
senate chaplain.
"As a boy, l was going on a trip to
Boston," said the senator. Just before

me to him.
Thou art going to Boston, said
he. Here is five dollars for thee to

grateful to my grandfather, but l did
not know any of the Boston boys in

During the South African war the

A DOUBLE VICTORY.
~HiEhInnders Defeated the American
Lenders In Two Great Games.

ade In Two Great Games.
NEW YORK. July 31.-Clarke Grif-
fith's plucky Highlanders celebrated
their homecoming by twice defeating
Cleveland, the American league lead
ers, and a fine half holiday crowd of
10000 or more helped them. 1t was a
rousing reception to a gritty if unfortu-
nate team.
In the first game of the sensational
double header the H%ighlanders shut out
the Blues, themselves scoring seven
runs. 1t was a clean cut victory, for
Happy Jack" Chesbro was at his best
once more, and the big fellow received
scintillating support. The batting was
hard and sure, and Hal Chase's steal OF
home toward the close is a sample of
the daring base running.
Nerves were at high tension OF the
field and in the stands during the Sec
ond game, which the H~ighlanders won
in the ninth inning by the score of 10
to o., and again Hal Chase figured, driv-
ing in the winning run with a cream
ing smash to left. 1t was a seesaw
battle throughout. Rhoades, although
hard hit from start to finish. was kept
in the game to the end, but Griffith
was astute enough to remove Smiling
Az Orth when he saw that the big man
had lost his cunning and substituted
Jack Powell, who pulled the game
through to it's triumphant conclusion.
1t was popular baseball with a
vengeance. and the local team proved
such a game finisher, always coming
back" at their formidable foes, that
the Griffith troupe strengthened its
hold on the sympathies of the host of
New York %rooters.
Runs, whether for New York or
Cleveland, came in clusters, and the
batting festival was d huge delight to
the crowd. Although at one time the
Blues seemed to have the contest sailed
away, the one time "cripples' Kept
dingdonging away, never querulous,
never disheartened, until the Napoleons
were cut down right at the finish.

Keen Women Out.

In most of the dog hospitals in New
York there is a rule against admitting
women to the wards. No small part OF
the science of doetoring dogs lies in
keeping them cheerful away from home.
The sight of a woman seems to make
them think of home and the Preside;
they get excited when a skirt blows in
sight, and correspondingly depressed
when it disappears. SO no dog doctor
who understands dog psychology let's
his patients see a woman if he can
help it.

man who has been engaged for several
years in developing some mining prop
erty on lcycle creek in which he is
backed by wealthy and influential capt.
talists received letter from man by
the name OF jackson, who is also inter-
ested in mining property in that vicin-
ity, wanting to know about how much
his property would furnish a smelter,
and saying the parties he was inter-
ested with were considering PROPOSE
ton to put up smelter near their prop
erty. The mines on the head of Icycle
creek and on Negro creek are not far
apart and on both these groups OF
mines large amount of development
work has been done in the past ten or
twelve years. There are a number OF
tunnels and several shafts have been
sunk. The great draw back has been
transportation. There is no road. The
supplies have to be packed for most OF
the distance, which is from eighteen to
twenty-four miles. This condition can
not always exist. IF the county does
not build road soon private parties
will take the matter in hand.

THE BLEWETT MINES
Will RcSumc work Under New HAN

Large Output Promised.

A party of six or seven mining men
arrived here last Saturday from Seat
tie. Among them were some of the
officers and directors of the Washing
ton Meteor Mining CO., the company
which has become the owner of the
La Rca and Badger State Mining
property at Blewett. The party went
from here to BleWett the same day and
returned Monday. Among the party
was Mr.. A. Z. Rutherford, an old
friend of E. A. King. Mr.. Rutherford
is one of the directors of the Meteor
Co., and acts as chemist for the COM
pany. 1t is the intention of the Meteor
Co. to at once make extensive improve
ments in the Blewett property and
operate it up to the full capacity OF the
twenty stamp mi |. A large lot of new
and improved machinery will be added
TO the equipment, part of which has al
ready been purchased.
The Blewett mines are said to be the
Oldest in the state and have in the past
Welded over two million dollars worth
of gold. For some years the mine has
not been worked very extensively and
the owners have not been harmonious,
for which reason the property has not
turned out very large quantity OF the
yellow metal.
The new owners declare that the
property will be worked according to
the most improved methods of mining
and that as a result steady stream OF
wealth will flow into the treasury of
The company.
A limited amount of stock is now Of
fered for sale at the modest price of 20
Gems per share. This will be in part
used to pay for improvements aud as
working capital. 1t is expected THAT in
less than year the property will be on
a dividend paying basis.

TWO ADMIISALS.
One Gets Lost and both &c; FuiI--Of
BiigeWater.

An incident occurred last Sunday in
which the rivalry of two men for the
favor OF q girl who lives not far from
the village of Peshastilli, cut a consid-
cradle figure.
A gentleman, who for want of bet
ter name we will call Admiral Loskemp-
ski, accompanied by Commodore
Smitski, fifteen cents worth of candy,
four bottles of beer and one bottle of
something stronger, hOisted anchor
early last Sunday morning and sci sail
for Peshastilli. In this connection
we might state that Commodore
Smitski went along to help hold the
fort He disclaims any interest in the
girl By way of making the Admiral's
intentions perfectly clear we may also
state that only the candy was intended
for the girl Whether the beer and
something stronger was intended for
consumption or for the purpose of bait
ing the paternal relative, much as
some people are wont to salt the COW
in order to catch the calf, we are not in
formed, we only know that the beer
and other stuff formed part of the cargo.
No sooner had the news of the de-
parture of this formidable Rushin'
squadron, for the east, loaded to the
guards with ammunition, reached the
Japanese ears of Admiral Fredreko
Staubo than he outftted fl ing squad
ron and with Commodore Tayloro,
eight bottles of beer, two bottles of
something stronger and thirty-hve
cents worth of candy, started in hot
pursuit of the first section.
In due course of time the first section
reached the vicinity OF Peshastilli,
where it anchored for rest and refresh
ment. The residents took them for
Malay pirates and ordered them to
move on, and they sailed in the direc-
ton of Peshastilli.
Admiral Staubo's squadron left the
home port with colors flying and Com
modore Tayloro sitting on the safety
valve of the beer. In the hurry of get
ting off they forgot their compass and
chart, with the result that the flying
squadron got lost in a dense fog of beer
and something else, never reaching
Peshastilli or sighting the first section.
They discovered, about this time that
their bottoms had gotten foul and
needed scraping, so they headed for
home, which they reached with a
depleted cargo. The candy only was
left.
The first section finally anchored
near Estessivig and revictualed, had
their bottoms cleaned and other nee
essary repairs made. They then dis
disposed of the cargo in true Rushin'
fashion, and firing two bottles OF salute
they sailed for home port which they
reached in an unseaworlhy condition.
