farmer FINDS
MINE OF LEAD

JOPLIN, Mo, Sept. 9.-William
Lochrie, living 10 miles north of Jop-
lin, where the next meeting of the
American Mining congress will be
held, finds himself elevated from
modest farmer to a man Of wealth al
most in a single night.
Lochrie owns an S0acre farm which
last summer he offered to sell for
$4,000. Since then a rich body of lead
and zinc ore has been found on the
farm and H. L. Kramer, famed as a
patent medicine manufacturer of In
diana, has offered Mr.. Lochrie $40, 900
for 40 acres of the farm on which the
ore was found. The offer was de-
clined.

The FAR EAST
AnglO=RuSSian Agreement
As to Development Of
Persia

TOXIC, Sept 3.-It is reported here
on reliable authority that the new
Anglo Russian agreement divides Per-
STA into two sections, but that the re-
spective spheres of influence ct the
two nations remain unchanged.
Afghanistan and the southern divi-
sion Of Persia is naturally in the Brit
ish sphere. The benefit to result from
the agreement will be the building of
a railroad along the Persian gulf. The
status quo to be maintained in At
ghanistan is not that which existed
prior to the Russo Japanese war, but
the condition which followed it.

SPANISH COURT
WEAR|ES QUEEN

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Unable to en-
dure her inconsistencies longer, Vic
toria Eugene, the young queen OF
Spain, has just cabled to her mother,
Princess Henry of Battenberg, that
she will pay her visit as soon as the
formalities of the Spanish court would
allow.
The queen has been very depressed
lately, according to friends OF her
mother, who say the daily letters from
Madrid show how severely she feels
the restraint imposed by Castillian ETH
quette. If it were not for her baby, it
is said, she would be inconsolable.
According to the rules OF the court
the queen must be attended every.
where she goes by her ladies In watt
ing. This annoys her exceedingly and
accounts for her recent interest in
golf. This exercise and brisk walks
invariably give her a little time to
herself, as the true Spanish lady is to
indolent to exert herself.
King Alfonso has expressed every.
sympathy for his royal wife. and just
as soon as their engagements will per-
nit, he will go to England with her.
Besides paying visit to the prin-
cess on the Isla of Wight, they will
probably be guests of the Duke and.
Duchess OF Portland at Welbeck ABB

dent knows a good man when he sees
one. and he also knows what kind of a

Mr.. Wight is just the man.
II will be remembered that Mr.. Wight

Closing Of Wells a Calamity.
on The Washingfon Herald

Editor The Washington Herald:
From its inception The Herald has
shown itself to be the peoples paper, al
ways championing their rights. In view
Of this fact 1 respectfully request The
Herald to use its great influence in pre-
venting the closing Of the public wells
of this city. No greater calamity could
happen to the poor people, white and
black, Of the city of Washington than
the closing Of these wells by the Com
missioners. They are a godsend TO those
who have not the nickel to put up for
piece Of fee the size of a brick from the
ice trust or TO purchase a glass OF
sweetened "fZz" from the soda water
dispensers. do not think the officials Of
the District should take from the people
that which God intended they should al
ways have-plenty Of pure. cool water.
The agents Of the ice trust and the
dispensers OF sWeetened frozen 'iizz' OF
the city are much elated over the pros
poets Of having these wells closed, and l
hope The Herald which has fought more
than ono battle for the people in its short
existence. will take this matter up and
make another fight for the rights OF the
poor Of the District of Columbia.
