Mans Unreasonableness

Is often as great as woman's. But
Thomas S. Austin, manager Of the Re-
publican, of Leavenworth, Ind. was
not unreasonable when he refused to
allow the doctor to operate on his
wife for female trouble. Instead. -
he says, 1--WE concluded to try Elec-
trio Bitters. My wife was then 50
sick she could hardly leave her bed,
and five physicians had failed to re-
lieve her. After taking Electric Bit
:ers she was perfectly cured, and can

THE BABY SHOW.
Large Attendance and Great Sue
ccss-The Prize Winners.

From Th- Daily Item Nov. 16.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution scored a magnificent sue
cess when they put on their baby and
flower show in Armort Hall yester-
day afternoon. The hall was a teem-
ing mass of humanity, ladies, gentle
men and children, babies and nurses
were packed together, and it seemed
impossible for anyone else to enter
the hall, yet more continued to come.
The admission receipts must have
been very large, and every bit of cake
and cream in the building found
ready purchasers. So much for the
financial success of the event.
The baby show was most interest
ing. The little one were all sweet
ly attired and were guarded carefully
by over-anxious mothers. The ladies
who put the show on were apprehen-
sive lest the children might become
frightened; but 10! they were calm
and composed when compared to the
judges, who dared not reveal their
identity and ran away, rather than lis
ten to the expression Of their own
views, and some of the judges were
ladies'!
The decision had to be made, and
the judges requested Mr.. L. I. Parrott
to make the announcement for them,
believing that his size would protect
him from the fury Of the disappoint-
ed mothers.
The awards were:
For the Finest Child Under One
Year Old-Douglas Moses; for the
finest child over one and less than
three years, John Scott Ledbetter; for
the prettiest child, a tie between Cor
nelia White and Marie Bultman; for
the child with the prettiest eyes,
Bessie Wylie; for the best dress
ed child, Madge Burnett.
Mrs. J. A Mood was awarded the
prize for the handsomest palms, and
the chrysanthemums of the Misses
Barnetts were declared to be the
finest.

BETTER LNDERST.4NDING
 OF THE L.4U

Out of the great number of de ClslonS Ill important mining cases rendered and being rendered by the Fairbanks court it is hoped will come a better general understanding of the law as it applies to conditions in this country. Following the de- cision of Judge WiCkersham where in 1t is established that a discovery is the beginning of the life of a placer claim came another where a discovery, as such, was upheld on so slight showing as to cause a belief that the first decision might be held practically meaningless, and a few surface colors satisfy the de mands of the law. Later, in the case of CasCaden ct al. vs. Bortolis, known as the Gates City case, Judge Wickersham i'll his instruC- tions to the jury defined discovery somewhat more clearly. In part, he said:
 The mere finding of a color or colors of gold, or cents worth, or even , cents worth, is not of itself sufficient to consti- tute discovery, or to prove that the land is valuable for mineral working. There must be such a discovery of min eral on the claim as to satisfy you that an ordinarily prudent man, not neces- sarily a miner, would be justified m cx- pending his time and labor thereon in the development of the property.
 So, finally, tue question of dis Covery, as well as of the other matters that are sure to come up. will doubtless be settled reasonably, justly and, above all, definitely. The most important, thing IS to be able to proceed without the menace of lawsuit hanging over either the prosrectoi or the operator who invests his money and hoI es to develop the prospect into a pro ductive mine. No country is Ti h enough Co stand wholesale li,iga- tiou.

the press. Since the time when men began taking out gold around Rampant new camps ini umerable have sprung ill o life and flickered out again, but all the while a steadily increasing stream has been flowing from the Rampant district and big improvements which required capital and enterprise have been carried forward.
 S. E. Heeter, the owner of the Yukon Valley News and a prominent business man of the place, is in the city on busi ness and gave some interesting facts about his district.
 Lack of water" said he, "has been the great drawback to the creeks hereto fore. The grave. on nearly all the creeks carries gold from the surface to bedrock, and the average depth is about zen feet. l banned three pans on Glen gulch and they yielded SIo.2o to the pan. While they were picked, l could have selected pans which would have run higher. This gulch is a pup of Eureka creek. The pans will run from I cents to S cents to the pan. Nothing very low grade about that. is there?
 "In fact, tlero0lE 4n plenty of water this season. and 1t has not only proven a great boon i'll increasing the output, but has shown up the camp at it's true value. On the strength of this showing outside capital is now being enlisted to put ill a ditch twelve miles long at cost of s25o,- GOO, and for bringing ill additional dredg CTS and hydraulic apparatus. The big gest hydraulic plant operated in Alaska is already at work on Minook creek. They had had TO cleanup when left. The company is known as the Rampant City Gold Mines Company, of which Rev. NJ r.. koonce is the manager. There is also large hydraulic plant at work on Ruby creek, another on Hunter creek and two on Hoosier creek. There is also d small one on Glen. John Stanley, an old resident of Rampant, has ordered steam scraper for Glen, which is proba- bly, there by this time This statement is erroneous. The scraper has arrived, but will be installed on Big Minook creek. It is guaranteed to handle ?, ,ooo square yards of dirt every ten hours and you can readily understand what that will mean for dirt worth anything at all. do not believe it will handle so much dirt as claimed, but even should it handle half that quantity it will prove rich revenue maker.
 The output for the Rampant district this year will reach $25o,ooo, against sIIo,ooo last season. The fact that there has been plenty of water since the rains is accountable for the increase. ftwould be much larger, but the operators are short of men. ( I.

OIL TRUST wins
AN EASY VICTORY
KANSAS REFINERY BILL Is NOT
CONSTITUTIONAL.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
Same Body Renders Decision Deny
ing Right of a Delaware Con-
Germ to Do Business in
the State.

Topeka, Kan, July 8.-The law
passed by the legislature last winter
appropriating $4,000 to build an in
dependent oil refinery at Peru was
Friday declared unconstitutional by
the state supreme court in an opinion
rendered by Associate Justice Greene.
The oil refinery law was considered
one of the most direct blows struck at
the Standard Oil company by the last
legislature, which adopted several
measures tending to restrict that con-
Germ in the handling of the Kansas
product.
The oil refinery law provided for the
erection at Peru also of a branch Of
the state penitentiary to house sufi-
cient prisoners who, it was intended,
we're to work the oil plant. State
Treasurer T. T. Kelly and Warden e,
B. Jewett, whose duty it was to Issue
the bonds, declined to sign them in
order to first secure a decision on the
constitutionality of the act. Attorney
General G. G. Coleman fled mandamua
proceedings in the state supreme court
on behalf of the state to compel these
officers to sign the bonds. The opin-
ion, declaring the act to be Illegal and
unconstitutional, was concurred in b.
all members of the supreme court,
The court holds that the construo
ton of refinery and the branch peni
| Tertiary in connection with it is II
violation of the state constitution
which declares: "The state shall

by inference, crticises Gov. 3. W
Hoch for using scarecrow to frightel
the Oil trust, so-called, and then TO
informing the trust that the thing h
has set up scarecrow. "The In
dictment Of the Standard Oil CON
pany," says the court, "is no doub
