appetite was usually in excellent work.

Mrs. Peck's motherly fears were in
stantly aroused. There was certainly
something wrong with Judith.
The child had recently been unsuc-
cessfully vaccinated and was, in con-
sequence, living in hourly terror of I'M

pedient to smuggle the doctor into the
house without forewarning the little
girl.

RICH ORE Stolen
FROM GREAT MOHAWK Mine
In GOLDfIELD, NEVADA. :
Lessees and the Miners Are Suspected
by OWners-Injunction Has Been Is
sued to Protect Mine-5o Watchers
Employed by v. s. Court-Over a
Million Is Said to Have Been Taken,

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-The loot.
ing of the Mohawk mine of Goldfield
by its lessees and the miners in their
employ, as charged by the owners, has
caused Judge w. w. Morrow of the
United States circuit court to issue an
injunction protectiong the mine, which
will be enforced by SO watchers ap-
pointed by the court.
George Wingfield, who, with his as
sociates in the ownership of the mine,
filed bonds in the suit amounting to
100000, claims that within the last 80
days $1,000,000 worth of high grade ore
has been stolen and that the looting
dates back for two years.
The Wells-Fargo Express company
is involved in the trouble, according to
Wingfeld. The 1873 sacks of ore al
legged to have been stolen, valued at
$4,000 were recently shipped by the
company to the Selby smelling works
in this city, and are now the subject of
a suit in the federal courts. The ex-
press company is said to have sent it's
wagons under cover of darkness to
the assay offices, where the miners are
said to have disposed of their steal
ings, for the purpose of taking ship
ments. There are 80 assay Offices,
where Wingfield says only three are
straight" He says that the miners
working the deposits in the Mohawk
have been dealing with the crooked
offices.
The Wells-Fargo company, he de-
clare,. was concerned in the matter
only to the extent of increasing it's
business by shipping the ore to points
where it might be sold. There are
5000 miners in the Mohawk camp who
are accused of looting by Wingfeld.
One miner is said to have been offered
an employee $40 day for chance to
work in the mines as a common labor
er.

Currency Reform.

I especially call your attention to the
second subject. the condition of our cur
rency laws. The national bank act has
ably served a great purpose In aiding the
enormous business development OF the
country; and within ten years there has
been an increase in circulation per capita
from S21.41 to S33S. For several years
evidence has been accumulating that adj
dtional legislation is needed. The recur-
renee OF each crop season emphasizes the
defects OF the present laws There must
soon be a revision Of them. because To
leave them as they are means to incur
liability OF business disaster. Since y..ur
body adjourned there has been a fuctua-
tion IN the call money from per cent

tion was even greater during the preccd-
ing six months. The secretary OF the
treasury had TO step I'm and by wise ac-

fuctuation Is the advance i'm commercial
rates and the uncertainty felt I'm the suf-

commercial interests suffer during each
