PabSt Blue Ribbon Cup For Hop
Growers.

The Interstate Exposition of Irriga-
ted Land Products and Forest
Products, to be held at Sacramento,
California next September, is expected
to show the wonderful progress that
has been made in developing lands
hitherto unproductive for agricultural
purposes.
Immense tracts of hitherto waste
lands that have been reclaimed by
modern irrigation methods, have
materially added to the resources of
the United States, and large interests
have been quick to see the possibilities
of these irrigated lands in producing
an exceptionally fine quality of various
products.
The Pabst Brewing Company of Mil
waukee, was among the first to appre-
ciate the possibilities of irrigating
lands for the raising of the finest quail
ty of hops. To stimulate the hop
growers to make every effort to pro
duce hops of the quality and favor
that will brew such beer as Pabs
Blue Ribbon, Col. Gustave Pabst has
offered $500 Solid Silver Cup for the
finest exhibit of irrigation grown hops,
to be made at the forthcoming EXPOSE
ton.
The Pabst Blue Ribbon Cup will be
designed by Messrs. Shreve & Com
pany, the well known silversmiths of
San Francisco, and will be one of the
handsomest designs this firm has ever
produced. The Cup is offered without
restriction and with the intention that
a prize of this character will stimulate
the hop growers of the West to rival in
excellence of their hops the finest pro-
duct of foreign lands.

SENATE TO TAKE ACTION
AT ONCE ON BILL
Effort TO Pass Prohibition
Bill.
WILL LIKELY BE STARTED TODAY
Strong Effort viii Be Made to Have
the Senate Take Action This
Week on The Prohibition
Measure.
MILL LIKELY BE STARTED TODAY

Atlanta, July S.-A strong effort is
going to be made to get the state pro
hibition bill through the Senate this
week. 1t is planned, to call meeting
of the Senate Committee on Temper
ance, following the appointment OF
the committee, and to take the bill up
for Immediate consideration.
The Hartman state prohibition bill
has already passed its second reading
in the Senate and needs only the com
mittee report to put it before that BODY
for passage.
Dr. Hartman is not chairman of
committee but there is no doubt about
the fact that the majority of its mem
bers will be prohibitionists. A report
therefore, will be forthcoming without
much consideration. In fact it may
be said to be a foregone conclusion.
The state prohibitionists are claim
ing more than thirty votes IN the SEN
ate and if these materialize the bill will
probably go through this week as
stated. Then the fight will come in
the House.

right arm dropped as he was reversing
the pistol to use it as club. A bullet
had shattered his wrist.
With his left hand he drew his saber
and leaned back against the wall.
Weak from loss of blood as he was, he
still managed to run his sword through
three of the men closing in upon him.
While his sword was still caught IL
the body of one man another jumped
for his throat, but Mills held him on
with the elbow of his shattered arm.

there made his last stand. With his

The Nicaraguan officer who tells the

had eighteen bullet wounds, and it was
a marvel to the whole army how he
had lasted so long.
The .Nicaraguans were so profoundly
impressed that, though they did not
know the strangers rank, they gave
him the honorable burial that they
would give to a generalisslmo of their

When the last three volleys were
fired over his grave they placed over

Americas sweltered yesterday morn
ing as at no other time during the

MARKET STILL
 LITTLE WEAK
in New York Continued Yesterday, Although Close Showed Some Strength-Coppers Show More Strength than New York Market.
(By I. N. Kinsey)

GLOBE, January 19.-Liquidation in the New York market continued today, big declines being made in the whole list, Amalgamated sold down to $ll1.50 but rallied at the close to $ll2.62. A slight rally was noticed in the rest of the list at the close. The bank state ment was considered good, but had lit tie effect on the market. Indications for Monday point to lower opening and a continuation of the liquidation that started several days ago. However, the liquidation in the past week has been very severe and stocks should be bought for turn at least.
 Weakness in the New York market was not reflected in such pronounced manner in the coppers as was the case yesterday. The rally in Amalgamated at the close will have a good effect on copper shares Monday, should the rally continue. The liquidation the past few days in coppers has been fast and furi ous and q heavy short interest exists in some of the stocks which will cover on any show of strength. Think Shan non, Range, North Butte and Tama- rack, if bought at present prices, will show good profit to buyers
 Globe Consolidated was stronger to- day than for some time past, advancing up to $ll.50 bid, Superior & Boston was also stronger today, being $4,50 bid

Defeated Death Itself

The remarkable case of child, Ruth Godfrey, who was virtually raised from the dead at the Farnham Isolation hos pital, has aroused intense interest.
 The child, who is eight years old and who has twice had pneumonia, was brought in in what looked like hope less condition, suffering from diphtheria She was really at her last gasp. She was removed to the operating room, where two doctors and three nurses were in attendance. No sooner had the chloroform been given than the child s breathing ceased. Her heart certainly did not beat The child $ color was waXen.
 One of the nurses left the room say ing, cit is all over" But the doctors determined to proceed with the opera ton. Tracheotomy was performed for the first time in the hospital antitoxin treatment being employed in the earlier stages of diphtheria. The child was ap- parently dead. The operation took ex- actly twenty minutes. Then, as last hope, artificial respiration, aided by strychnine, brandy and hot bottles, was employed.
 To everyone s amazement, the child began to breathe again. The staff was delighted as well as astonished.
 How long the child ceased to breathe it is, of course, difficult to tell. Unless her heart becomes affected there is an excellent chance for her complete re- covery The tube has been removed quite clearly.-London cable to the New York Herald.
