BIG GIFT BY CARNEGIE.
Gives $4,000 For Home For Bureau
OF American Republics.

Washington, Jan. Sit was an.
nounced here Friday that Andrew Car.
negie has given $750,OOO for the con.
struction of a building to be used by
the bureau of American republics.
Provision for the site already has
been made by the United States and
South American republics.
Mr.. Carnegie was at the state de.
partment Friday and was in confer.
ence with Secretary Root, who is
chairman of the board of governors of
the bureau. Secretary Root informally
thanked him for his gift and indicated
that he would at once send him a
formal letter of acceptance. Presi.
dent Roosevelt already has written Mr.,
Carnegie, expressing his appreciation
and acceptance Of the donation.
The gift having been made to the
bureau of American republics, the per.
mission of congress to accept it will
not be necessary. Several years ago
congress appropriated 100000 as the
share of the United States toward the
site and building for the bureau and
between $4,000 and $4,000 already
has been contributed by the South
and Central American countries, be.
longing to the bureau.

New York, Jan. 9.-John J. G. Seu-

Tuesday for his terrible experience
Except for few bruises on his arms
and legs he was not hurt, and as

Two comrades went down with
Seufert when the ruins collapsed.
The body of one, Thomas Lennon, has
been recovered.
The other man, Daniel Campbell, is
still in the ruins. There is but little
hope that he escaped death, but res
cuers are working with renewed vigor
to find him.

ANOTHER FUEL FAMINE NEAR.
Coal Enough to Last Only Little Over
Week at Missoula, Mont.

Butte, Mont, Jan. "a dispatch
from Missoula states that the North
ern Pacific railway at that point is
confronted with famine, the situa-
ton being aggravated by the extra de-
mand for coal to maintain big rotary
plows on the Couer d'Alene line,
where the snow in some places is said
to be eight feet deep. AS it is, that
branch of the Northern Pacific through
the mountain section is said to be
practically snow bound Coal has
ceased coming from the Roslyn mines
and the bunkers of the company at
this place contain only 10000 tons, a
little more than enough to last the
balance of the week.
Washington, Jan. 9.-In view of the
fact that many homestead settlers are
said to be freezing in North Dakota
and the rules of the department of the
interior provide in many cases that
residence Of the settler shall be con-
tinuous, Senator Hansbrough has pre-
pared a resolution to relieve the sit
uation. He proposes that the settlers
be permitted leave of absence for
three months to extend over the winter
period and that this absence shall not
interfere with their entry rights.

that traffic on the through passenger
trains has been decreased about one
half on account of the numerous
wrecks. in which the fast trains fig.
ured, are denied. While it is true that
in some instances there has been
slight reduction in through traffic,
reports show that there has also been
a reduction in this business on roads
that have not suffered any serious
wrecks during the past year.

by the higher officials that there is

ENTERS LIMESTONE FIELD
Mr.. WILTSHIRE GETS OPTION ON
SOME VALUABLE TRACTS.
Controls Several Hundred Acres Of
Land That is Said To Be Very
Rich in Deposits.

Mr.. g. B. Wiltshire, of this city, has
entered the race for the control OF de-
sirable limestone land in this section,
and has quietly secured options on
several hundred acres in Jefferson
county that is said to be exceedingly
rich in both limestone and shale.
The land that he has secured op-
tons on are the farm OF l.. ID. Getzen-
danner, known as the Daniel Getzen-
danner farm, near Kearneysville.
which contains 17S acres, and the
price of which is $1S,255 the Widmy-
er farm of 100 acres, in the same
neighborhood, the price of which is
81 900, and the adjoining tract of 200
acres, belonging to w. A. Fulk, the
price of which is $4,000.
Mr.. Wiltshire conducted his deals
with dispatch and discretion, and very
few persons knew of the matter until
after he had the options safely tucked
away in his pocket. He is confident
that he controls some of the most val
liable limestone and shale land in this
section, and is in position to deal
with profit to himself. The lands are
shown on blue print made by the en-
gineers who surveyed the places, and
they are well located.
