Find a Rich Vein Of Gold.

The Klondike gold fever has brok-
en- out anew at Sitka, Alaska, accord
ing to Brigadier General George +.
Elliott, commandant of the United
States Marine Corps, who has just
returned from a trip of inspection IN
the Northwest. General Elliott says
a rich vein OF quartz has recently
been uncovered on an island forty
five miles from Sitka which yields a
heavy percentage Of leaf gold. The
story of the discovery. as told to
General Elliott, is that two Indians
while fishing noticed particles OF
gold. They told the news to Pres
byterian clergyman at Sitka. A COM
pany opened the vein and succeeded
in mining and Transporting to Sitka
in canoes ninety tons of ore. This
one shipment yielded after payment
of freight more than $4,000. The
knowledge OF the find soon spread,
and the island now is practically all
staked out by gold seekers.

From President Perley.

In a letter to Otto Fries, secretary
of the Bremen Improvement Associ-
alton, President Perley writes:
I'VE fully appreciate what you
have done and arc doing. and will say
we have not abandoned the Bremen
and Bourbon line, but have three
routes under consideration at pres
ent: One through Bremen and Bour-
bon, one through Bremen to Ply
mouth, and one through Lapaz to
Plymouth. While we rather favor
the old line, we will be largely gov
erned in the selection of the line by
the financial people"
That looks like the thing is offered
to the highest bidder, merely for the
sake Of the subsidies, with little re-
gard for the future of the road
If the people of Center township
have been told that capitalists will
not build rhe road unless it goes
through Plymouth-that it must go
there in spite of the fact that Ger
man and Bourbon townships have al
ready voted heavy subsidies-it
would certainly be the height of folly
for them TO dig up $4,000 and pre-
sent it to the company.-Bremen En-

A Dernure Waitress.

The model for the face used by
Augustus St. Caudens in his design
for the copper cent, so gold piece
and dout !. eagle was Mary Cunning
ham. a demure little Irish waitress
in the little country town OF Cornish
VT.
The proofs of the coins, although
approved by President Roosevelt and
praised by artists generally, have not
been accepted by the directors OF the
Philadelphia mint, because on ac-
..orn. of their high enclosing, they
cannot be stacked. The designs may
he modified to obviate this fault, but
it is possible they may be rejected
altogether.
Mary Cunningham was discover
ed" by ST. Caudens when the great
seulotor. who died recently, visited
the Vermont village on summer
trip. She appeared before him IN
the dining room of the village inn
with a bowl of vegetable soup, and
II ;s said that the artist was so struck
with her beauty and the possibilities
of her face as an adornment tor the
coins he bad Just been commissioned
70 design that he forgot to eat his
dinner He finally persuaded her to
pose for him.
She has a fresh, pink complexion
that reminds one of roses AMI cream
1t speaks of country lanes ana bios
s,r.ing hedges and sunl:t meadows
There IS nothing that could possibly
remind one of the city and its con-
fined life and its more tinged atmos-
phere. :,
Her figure is plain and graceful aEd
che moves with he easy and 1isn'ty
of one who was born TO be beautiful
She has dark brown hair, which she
wears combed up from the nigh,
white forehead Her eyes are oil that
cerulean blue over which artists rave
but which they never paint-because
they can't.
Mary Cunningham was born in ire
land twenty-six years ago. she came
n this country not long ago. Sie

Fire on Battleship Indiana.

The report to the navy department
"Wednesday that the battleship Indi-
ana, undergoing repairs at the
League Island navy yard, had mar
rowly escaped destruction by fire last
Thursday caused surprise. The cap
tain of the Indiana, through a repre-
sentative, said he knew nothing
about it," but it was learned from
other sources that the fire did not
amount to much.
The fire was started, it is under
stood, by spontaneous combustion
The Indiana is lying ''in ordinary"
at one of the docks with plenty of
fire protection about The fire was
never beyond control and as a pre-
caution some of the ammunition was
removed to a place of safety.
According to one report, the two
magazines and the shellrooms be-
came dangerously heated and were
flooded to depth of twenty inches.
Lieut. Commander ]. L. Sticht di-
rected the fire company consisting
of Gunner L. c. Hull and nine men,

moved the ammunition

mandant of the navy yard, said
at is true there was a fire in the
coal bunkers of the battleship Indi-
ana last Thursday A report of the
occurrence was submitted to me and
forwarded to the navy department. at
Washington. The magazines are To-
Gated close TO the coal bunkers and
the first thought of the officers and
crew was to remove the ammunition
and powder as soon as possible in or
der to prevent an explosion. | do
not think the ship was at any time

fire was in all probability due to
spontaneous combustion.

Fairbanks Talks at St. Joseph.

Eleven hundred were present Mon
day night at the second annual ban
quet of the Berrien County Republi-
can Club, at St. Joseph Mich,, at
which Vice President Fairbanks was
the principal speaker. The Vice
President said in part: Our Union
was never Stronger than it is now.
There was never more who would
willingly place all upon the sacrif-
cial altar to preserve its integrity and
its honor if fate should so decree.
The people in all portions of the re-
public are eagerly striving to increase
its strength and to lift it still higher
in the esteem of the naions of the
world. We look upon the past, not
able for achievements for human lib
erty in the development of splen-
did national character, and we face
future limitless in its opportunity,
full of confidence and full of hope
We have questions which press for
solution, and we are bringing to their
consideration the same intelligence
and high purpose which inspired our
fathers and which enabled them to
solve successfully and well the SER
ious problems which confronted
them. We are taxed with new ques-
tions, many of which will be of seri-
Gus moment. We will have no diff
Guilty in their settlement, for we will
bring to their determination those
fundamental principles of right which
have been the foundation of our
progress from the beginning"

Foss of Chicago, former Governor
John T. Rich of Michigan, ex-Con-
gresham Henry c. Smith of Adrian,

State Fair Yields Profit.

The Indiana state fair earned $79,-
504, according to figures prepared by
Treasurer Jasper Lagrange and sub
nitted to the state board of agricul-
ture. He said that this might be ar
underestimate by few hundred dol
lars as the secretary had not turned
in all of his receipts, and the final to-
tai may run slightly over $4,000, or
about $4,000 more than the fair has
earned in any other years The chief
increase is in admissions, although
the fair shows some increase in every
department
The board has a place to put the
money. When it built the live stock
pavilion it had from the state an ap-
preparation of 100000; the building,
the plumbing and the broad cement
walk around it ran the total up to
100000, and the state board of ag-
riculture will pay the $4,000 This
item alone would take the profits of
the fair

New Interstate Rates Held Up for
Present.

FORMULATION of interstate passen-
ger rates based on 2 cents a mile in
territory east of Chicago was expect
ed at the present monthly meeting of
the Central Passenger Association,
but postpomement has been taken.
Announcement has also been made
that the new schedule of rates will
not be put into effect, if at all. be-
fore January 1 next.
Interstate fares between Indianap-
oils and Chicago and Indianapolis
and Cincinnati are now on 2-cent
basis, but fares from other points in
adjoining 2-cent fare States have not
been reduced
One month ago rate clerks were
instructed to hold continuous ses-
sions until they had completed the
work of making the interstate rates
square up with the sum of the locals.
and it was thought that uniformity in
passenger rates would be brought
about at the September meeting of
the Association.
The present decision, however, up
sets all previous calculations. This
is a condition that none OF the rail-
roads like. but the decision of the
Pennsylvania court to the effect that
2-cent rate, in one portion of the
State at least, is illegal, changed the
complexion of the situation material
ly Representatives of the Pennsyl-
vania road urged that the Eastern
roads bear with the present situation
patiently, and not reduce their
interstate rates with needless haste.
The hope was expressed that the
Pennsylvania decision would be up
held, and would ultimately be ex-
tended to take in the entire State

How to Kill Canada Thistles.

The experiment station of Wash,
received a letter from J. A. B. of
E, erett, that state, asking how to
exterminate Canada thistles. Prof
w S. Thornber. horticulturist. re-
piled as follows:
"The Canadian thistle is a hard
plant to fight, but by judicious cut
ting and cultivation you can eradicate
it. The plant must be kept from
forming a growth above the surface
of the ground for at least one year in
order that your efforts for its exter-
mination may be successful.
"The plant spreads by underground
stems, or roots, which are thrown up
ut distances of from three to six feet
from the parent plant, so merely de-
stroying the mother plant will not
kill the weed A good careful cut
ting during the month of June, fol-
lowed by other cuttings in the latter
part of July and on through August
will check the thistle materially, and
may destroy it entirely 1t is gener-
" quite difficult to eradicate the plant
in pastures and fence corners, since
small residue will be left undestroy-
ed. which will grow during the fol-
lowing year There is no spray that
will kill it.
Sometimes it is helpful to cut the
thistle off about three inches below
the surface of the ground, and apply
salt to the cut surface, which causes
the root to rot by drying out. In
cultivated fields it is usually advisable
to rake out the underground stems
and allow them to dry thoroughly be-
fore o1Oxyinp again"

Su;s Adjudged Insane.

Frank Suit, a former newspaper
reporter on the Plymouth Tribune,
who was arrested on a charge of ar
son, has been adjudged insane by a
,cnacy commission at Kokomo, and
will be committed to the Central
Hospital for the Insane as soon as
the papers can be prepared.
At the inquest Suit was more CON-
posed than at any time since his ar
rest. He stuck to his original story
that he did not start the fire in the
Citizens Bank building and that he
knew nothing of the origin of any
of the other fires that have occurred
recently in the business district
When the testimony of Suits wife,
his intimate acquaintance and the
police was taken, however, the COM
mission was overwhelmed with evil
dence of his mental unsoundness and
announced its decision as soon as the
hearing was concluded.

Gary's Wonderful Growth.

The steel trust has become so thor
oughiy convinced that the new city
of Gary will be the steel headquar-
ters of the world, that it has decided
to spend $45,OOO,OOO on the place, in
addition to the SIS ZOO, 900 first appro-
priated.
The record of the last fourteen
months shows that Broadway, the
principal business street, has been
constructed for a distance of three
miles from the Grand Calumet to the
Little Calumet river, paved with con-
cfet for the gicater part OF the dis
tance, lined It's entire length with
concrete sidewalks and bounded for
two miles on each side with brick
and concrete business blocks.
A complete sewerage system has
been constructed covering all the
business district and the residence
area at the city and is now in use. A
water works system, which is con-
structed on the basis of city OF 500,-
600 inhabitants, is in service. The
water now is supplied from eight ar
tesian wells, which will suffice pend
ing the completion of tunnel two
miles out into Lake Michigan.
Gas mains have been laid all over
the city, and the plant will open oper-
atoms Oct. 1. The electric lighting
plant is now in commission and the
power is carried through a modern
system of underground conduits, all
of which have been completed.
In the residence districts more than
fifty of the superior homes are rap
idly nearing completion, and will be
ready for occupancy within thirty
days.
Orders have been given to the field
marshals on the ground that homes
must be in readiness for $4,000 per-
sons by the time the steel plant be-
gins operations.
Nearly s1,oOO,OOO will be spent in
covering the sand of the residence
lots with an excellent quality of Hi
nois black dirt. This work is now in
progress, and f,4OO lots in the better
district viii be so treated.
Business already has opened in the
stores which line Broadway More
than 5000 inhabitants now have their
homes in Gary, and mercantile estab-
lishments were the first to be con-
str,srted. One department store IS
to- occupy a three story building 1875
feet square, constructed of concrete,
which is practically completed. The
new five story hotel is under roof,
and the two elaborate bank buildings
are nearing completion.
Work on the construction OF a
$3.50. 900 theatre will be commenced
at once. Will J. Davis is to have con-
troll of the theatre.
The business firms which border
Broadway now represent twenty
three states, and it is said that IN
walking one block on Broadway on
pay night one can hear almost every
language spoken.
The street car proposition is the
serious ENHANCEMENT which now con-
front the town The steel .orpor-
alton has been balked in its desire to
obtain the franchise for the car lines
in its own town and fears serious de-
lay in its completion.
