In the Complies Rendus of the Pa
ris Academy, Mr.. Lowell gives the re-
suit of a series of spectrographic de-
Examinations of the rotation of Venus
and Mars. For Venus. the speed OF
motion of a point on the equator was
found to be practically nil, the prob
able error of the observation only
amounting to COOS kilometer per sec
ond, the result thus supporting the idea
that Venus rotates in the same per-
iod as her revolution. For Mars the
speed was found as OPS. the comput-
ed value being OPAL. The probable
error in the case of Mars was O.O36.
The satisfactory result obtained for
Mars lends support to that for the
larger and brighter planet.
M. P. de Wilde, professor at the
University of BRUSSELS, has taken up
the study of the gold which is con-
tanned in sea water. He proposes a
new method of extracting it. A ton
of sea water is treated with a or 5
cubic centimeters of an acid and con-
centrated solution Of chloride of tin.
The whole of the gold is thus concen-
trated in the complex body known as
purple of Cassius. which contains
gold, tin and oxygen. 1t is found
that the gurple body is fixed very
strongly upon the flaky hydrate OF
magnesium which is set free in sea
water when we pour in lime water.
The hydrate falls to the bottom with
the gold attached to it. The gold IS
set free by a cyanide of potassium
solution (about 1 in 10000 thus form
ing a cyanide of gold. The metal can
then be extracted by a number OF
well known methods.

OUR OLD FRIEND DEAD.

Walter A. West, an old friend
of the writer. and also of great
many Baxter Springs people, died
at his home on Spavinaw, in the
Cherokee nation, on Friday oi
last week. Funeral services were
held on last Saturday. Watt
West, as the old gentleman was
familiarly called by his friends,
was about sixty-fve years of age,
and was universally respected by
all of his acquaintances. He was
one of the very few real good
men We have known. There are
lots of men who are good fellows,
but when we speak of real good
men they are scarce. Watt West
was a man whose word was as
good as his, bond.
Mr.. West was born in the
Cherokee nation, near the pres
ent town of Westville, in the east
part of the nation. The town
was named after his father. Mr..
West used to freight over the old
Military trail from Westport to
Fort Gibson, and when Baxter
Springs was a frontier town it
was Mr.. Vests trading place.
He used to come here for his sup
plies, although it was seventy
miles from his home. A great
many years ago he settled on his
late home on Big Spavinaw creek,
and built for himself a comforta-
BILE home. His wife died several
years ago, and the old gentleman
was lonely ever after. He told
the writer only a few weeks ago
that his wife was, in his opinion,
the best woman that ever lived.
For long time after the death.
of his wife the old gentleman
lived alone, but about two years
ago he persuaded one of his
daughters and her family to
come and live with him. The
daughter did what she could to
make her fathers last days COM
Portable, although in poor health
herself.
About two months ago Mr..
West was stricken with Bright's
disease in its worst form, and he
failed rapidly.
Mr.. West leaves several chill
dren, all grown, and three BROTH
ers, John, James and William, to
mourn his death. The brothers
are prosperous citizens of the
Cherokee nation.
In the death of w. A. West
the writer feels that he has in
deed lost a friend.

Ten days before the quarter ex-

quarter, the box will be closed
and offered for rent to other par
ties and the mail of delinquent

this way the postmaster will &C

Saturday night about eleven
o'clock Marshall Kimball made
the star catch of the season, when
he broke up a poker game and
captured the players. He had
/ been laying for the gang, which
we understand had built a stall
or room in which to gamble out
back of the Cedarine joint. Mar
shal Kimball bided his time, and
when he swooped down OH his
prey he was all ready. The fell
lows arrested were Il. J. Bland,
Louis Parks, Jim Brown, VIM.
Starr, w. +. Brown and a gem
tleman who sailed under the cog
nomen of John Doe. The gang
put up the cash necessary to in
sure their appearance Monday
morning, when all pleaded guilty
except Bland, who says he will
carry the case to the highest tri-
bunal and show that playing po-
ker for money is not gambling.
The five who pleaded guilty paid
a fine of SIS and costs each. We
understand a warrant is going to
be sworn out for the fellow who
built the little frame shanty, as
it is inside the fire limits. We
hope that for this infraction of
the law a very severe fine will be
administered. Marshal Kimball
says he has always been under
the impression that the fellow
who gave his name as John Doe,
had another name, but it seems
the marshal is mistaken.

COUNTER PROPOSITION
Anthracite Operators Will Meet the
U. M. w. Scheme with Another
Meeting Postponed.

New York, April 1O.-At the joint
conference of the sub committees of
the anthracite coal mine owners and
their employees to be held here today
the operators will decline to accept
the arbitration plan as presented last
week by the mine workers and will i'll
it's stead present counter proposition
which, if agreed to by President Mitch
ell and his men. will bind each side
for more than two years.
The operators have been working on
the new plan ever since the adjourn
ment of the joint conference of last
Thursday, and the inability of the
presidents of the hard coal-carrying
railroads to complete minor details
caused a postponement of twenty-four
hours Of the conference scheduled for
yesterday. The exact nature of the
counter proposition was not made
known by the operators.
Pittsburg, April 1O.-There was an
almost general resumption Of mining
operations in the Pittsburg district.
Reports received by the miners Of
ficials and coal operators indicate that
the miners were nearly all at work ana
that less than ; per cent. of the plants
We're idle. There was no disorder and
the best of feeling prevails over the
prospects of steady work, the result of
an expected early resumption of lake
shipments and the receipt of large
contracts. which have heretofore been
filled by western operators. The West
moreland Coal company, one of the
largest Independent concerns, with a
capacity of million tons annually.
has signed the scale and orders were
given to at once resume operations in
all their plants.

both parents spent the winter months
with her and this year the mother Mrs
hyatt appreciated every act of kindness
and care bestowed upon her but lOnged
for the old home and friends in Rock
county and planned to return, although
it was evident that she would never be
able to care for herself and her house
again. 1t is uncommon to find two old
people both living to such an advanced
age and able to care for themselves
Mrs. Hyatt has been an angel of mercy
in many home, bringing hope to the
sick and helpless and prolonging the life
of many discouraged sufferer by her
practical ADD faithful ministrations
While Mrs. Hyatt was engaged in nurs-
ing, DR.. Shepard of this city became in
terested in these remarkable old people,
and when the day came that they we're
unable to work for others, DR.. Shepard
came to the front and financial arrange
ments were made which have enabled
them to live in their own home without
fear Of want or lack of medical atten-
dance. The kindness, the courtesy, and
the tact shown by the doctor to this
aged couple is as rar- as it is beautiful,
and it would be impossible for words to
express the gratitude and appreciation
felt toward him by the recipients of these
favors so willingly and so freely given.
The daughter in whose family Mrs.
Hyatt received the kindest and tender
est care, the son in Canada and the rela-
tives in California have ever kept them
in mind and cheered them by visits and
by letters which often contained fnan-
cial help and practical gifts.
Her life work is done. The call to
come up higher has been answered The
last resting place was made beautiful,
the walls lined with white and trimmed
with flowers and evergreen, and the
grave covered with flowers, the express
sion of love of friends who had known
her from their childhood. cit is better
