news FROM
The MINES.

Values, $5,II4.
It is estimated that the recent
wet spell has cut productions at
least 1000 tons in the district.
The Hobo is producing quite
we'll these days. The parties who
have it leased are making money
right along.
The Hawkeye, better known as
the Kramer-Morse, is producing
big quantities of both lead and
lack, and the superintendent,
Hank Rice, is as proud of its rec
ord as can be.
The rains which this section OF
country has been receiving have
retarded prospecting work con-
siderably, but now that the
weather has settled the work will
be purhed harder than ever to
make up for lost time.
The Old Abe, which has been
shut down so long, is going to
get back into the producing class
This property has recently
changed hands, and the new
owners propose to make it get tc
the front, where it belongs.
The Big Chief, just south Of
the Mission, is going to have a
new mill, work on it having been
already commenced. Theo. Hud'
son is superintendent of this
property, and as he is an exper'
fenced miner you can just bet the
mine is going to make good.

Democratic Banquet at Col
umbus May Sfh.

Thorough preparations are be-
ing made for entertaining Cher
okee county Democrats at the
banquet to be given May 5th.
The pavilion at the Old Settlers
park has been secured for the oc-
casion, and it is expected that the
occasion will be one of the great
est political gatherings ever held
in this section of the state. John
H. Atwood, National Committee
man from Kansas, will be the
speaker of the evening. Promin-
emit Democratic leaders from all
over the state will be present.
Arrangements have been made
for bands of music and orches-
tras. Special trains will bring
in delegations from all surround
ing towns. The feast will begin
at 1880 p. M, and the speaking
at $50.
Democrats from the north end
of the county have arranged for
a band to accompany them on
special cars over the slectric line.
Plates will be laid at the usual
popular price of 81. The NUM-
Der of plates will be limited and
from the enthusiasm already
manifested at this early date it

rich property, and is going to be
treated to a nice new mill this
summer. The Good Luck pro-
duces big chunks of free zinc ore
and the farther the drifting is
done the bigger the chunks be-
come.
The Mission is producing again
in its old-time way, and piling
large quantities of clean ore in
the bins every day. What this
property needs is a bigger mill,
and we understand the plans for
the building of one are well
under way.
Some Eastern parties are Sc
curing leases in the Baxter camp
for the purpose of prospecting
for oil and gas. Gee whiz, if oil
and gas should be found in the
camp wouldn't it get to the front?
The fuel proposition would be
solved, and there would be an in
flux of capital and investors
would surprise the natives.
The M. K. & T. is back in the
producing column again, as will
be noticed by reference to the Ia
bic showing the sales of ore.
This is one of the good producers
of the Baxter Springs camp, and
under the able management OF
DON McRuer will keep up its old
record of production. This mine
has made good ever since it was
opened up, and has paid good
dividends to the stockholders.
The big mill of the Eastman
Land and Investment Company
will resume operations in a few
days. The mill has been thor
oughly overhauled and will be
able to save a large percentage
of the fine ore, which heretofore
has been going into the waste
pile. The mine is one of the
best in the camp, and when it
used to run make some record
productions. It will do the same
stunt again.
The Heap-O 'Brien is going to
be one of the real good mines OF
the Baxter Springs camp before
long. This mine is under the .di-
rect supervision of R. r. Heap,
and he is making good in every
way. While the mining bnsi-
ness is somewhat new to him, yet
he took hold of it in this camp
just like an old veteran, and has
opened up what is bound to be
one of the best producers in the
country. The dirt is very rich,
and the ore is found in a con.
glomerate, which 10 going to
make it very easily cleaned. A
big mill will be built on the prop.

The Spring River Power Com
pany has big force of men at
work at Lowell making some re-
pairs which were made necessary
by, the recent high water in
Spring river. If the engineering
at the big. dam had been different
a lot of. expense would have been
avoided. For instance, if the
spillway had, been made on the
south, side. of the river against
the big rock bluff thousands of
dollars would have been saved.
But the engineers woultnot lis
ten to the advice. given them by
people who have been acquainted
with Spring river for the last
forty years., The river in its last
big raise was not as high by ten
feet as it was in 1895. What in
the world is liable to happen if
we have another such raise? The
last raise the water only lacked
five inches of running over the
dam and into the power house.
A raise such as we had in 1895
would put the water into the
power house and ruin machinery
worth many thousands of dollars.
The company could make big
money yet BY changing the spill
way to the south side of the river,
thereby strengthening its dam. !

Alexander Gilbert, president Of the
Market and Fulton National Bank and
chairman of Group Eight, presided. His
address, the first of the evening, was
an advocacy Of acentral bank and of
asset currency for emergency use, based
on the of the banks and not
on their holdings of bonds. 1t was
after proposing the first formal toast,
that to the President, that Mr.. Gill
bert elected the first intimation of the
bankers state of mind. There had
been a few scattering handclaps in one
corner of the room as the toast was
drunk. Looking in that direction. Mr..
Gilbert said, with significant emphasis:
II thank you for that. That is q
magnificent expression of loyalty and 1t
shows that the bankers of New York

FAIR STUDENTS

JOE"
Speaker Tells Beauties
lie Doubts Their
Sincerity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-"Uncle
joe Cannon told twenty girl students
who called upon him yesterday why he
is opposed to woman suffrage.
First he sweetened his remarks by
telling them they were the most beau
tiful cluster of American beauties he
ever saw. In return they greeted him
as the next President" There were
twenty in the cluster, or to be more
accurate, in the "bevy," They were stu
dents at the Martha Washington Semi
nary, and came from almost as many
States.
Il appreciate the great honor you
have paid me- he said. However, I
rather doubt whether you young ladies
from Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Arkan-
sas and other States in the South really
want to see me elected. No, / am OBJ
posed to woman suffrage, and III tell
you why. Pretty wounen like you would
always control TWO v~otes-your
and some mans" The girls laughed.
Now, l can tell" continued the
speaker; 81 only have to look into your
eyes when they light up that way to
be sure that each of you would de-
termine how some man would vote.

ROCHESTER,, NY, Jan. 2s.-Rudolph
Cute, of J~effersonville. N. Y, accomplished
what small-arms shots Rave always con-
sidered an impossible feat in yesterdays
opening shoot OF tho indoor ,22-Calibre
Rifle Leagues tournament. Cute. m the
bull's-eye event, registered a perfect cen
tire. The shot was a remarkable one. for
the mark was a four-inch black cartoon
and the distance Is feet. The system pur-
sued in this method of shooting provides
that a perfect shot counts 0, and the
scores decrease in value as they recede
from that centre. There are 20 prizes In
this event.
Harry Harrison, Of Rochester, who holds
the worlds championship for rapid firing,
beat his own record Of 469 by firing 20
more shots in one minute. In this event
the contestants use automatic rifles, with
n capacity of fen shells, but they must do

The sun is shining through the leafy
boughs of the monarchs of the forest,
the birds are caroling their sweet lays,
the murmuring brooks are flowing over
pebbly bottoms, adding sweet melody
to natures music; the dip of the paddle
is heard from the lake, accompanied by
the love song of a modern troubadour,
and all are glad in the beautiful thrall
of summer time-somewhere.
Here it is cold and freezing today.

previous days, with the little thraw in

Professor William Wiener, Of the
High School weather bureau, says that
the storm from the West that is coming
may act as a regulator and we may
have several weeks of good old-fash-
Toned winter-the kind u grand

At 8 a. m. this morning the mercury

COUNTESS TO
BARE EARL'S
SECRETS
Thaw's Sister Will Fight
.Earl's Efforts to Keep
Her Millions.

LONDON, Jan. Predetermined to
meet any attempt of the Earl of Var
mouth to obtain possession of her mil
lions, the countess, who was Miss Alice
Thaw, has announced her intention to
fight such an action to the end. Today.
defeated in her efforts to bring about
an amicable adjustment of their diff
culties, the countess threatens to make
revelations which will shock London
society, and will spare NJ member of
the noble Hartford family.
This determination is the result of
the earl's contention that II the
countess wins her suit for the annul-
ment Of the marriage he is by the ante
nuptial agreement entitled to the entire
dowry of his wife, in which it is pro
yided that in the event of her death
without children her entire fortune
shall go to the Hartford family.
Friends of the Countess of Yarmouth,
speaking for her, declare that the con-
tention of the earl that the fortune
is his because of the agreemnt is out
rageous.
The countess asserts that there has
beer no real marriage, and the ques-
ton of heirs is expected to come up
at the trial of,the suit.

TWO FIREMEN INJURED

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Forty persons
were driven from their homes and mar
rowly escaped with their lives in a fire
which destroyed two. ouses in Ocean
avenue, Ozone Park, early today. The
police say that the blaze was of incen-
diary origin.
Two fremen were seriously injured
while fighting the flames. Chief Charles
Singer and four of his men. barely
escaped being caught under a falling
wall.
The blaze started in a house al
Broadway and Ocean avenue, which in
a few minutes was a mass of flames.
1t spread quickly to the three-story
house next door, occupied by five
families.
1t also was a seething mass before
the tenants had any warning. They
ran screaming into the street in their
night clothes just before the root
caVed in.
The Rev. w oliver Osterheld, of the
Ozone M. f.. Church, assisted the
frightened women and children to find

Religious Services to Be
Held at Interment Of In
stitntiOn'S Inmates.
BETTER QUALITY OF FOOD
as Result of Confer,
ence, Will Provide Better Treat.
ment-.T Confer With City
Hospital Authorities Re.
garding Sick Persons.

For the purpose of discussing the
questions of the burial of the dead poor
and of having religious services at
their funerals. There was a conference
yesterday between City Attorney
Francis Child, jr., Alderman Elmer A.
Day, chairman of the poor and aims
committee of the Common Council, and
Arthur w. McDougall, superintendent
of the Bureau of Associated Charities,
and it was decided that hereafter a
Catholic priest, a Protestant minister
and a Jewish rabbi be asked to visit
Nthe ~almshouse to conduct services for
the dead, the debating cleric being of
the faith to which the deceased be-
lonsed. The reason they have not done
so voluntarily in the past is because
they were not told when the inmates
died.
Chairman Day will also bring to the
attention of the committee when it
meets again the necessity of having
some place to lay out the bodies SO
that if friends, if they have any can
view then.
Hereafter, when bodies are taken to
the potters field, not more than two
adults collins will be placed in the
burial wagon. It was said that in
the past five and six bodies have been
taken at a time, and that little respect
has been shown.
The question of collins inNwhich the
poor are inferred also came up at the
conference. 1t was agreed that while
the collins were cheap they wer dur
able and of good appearance and nc
change was necessary.
Mr.. McDougal suggested that a
trained nurse be kept at the almshouse
to care for the sick, but this, it was
pointed out. could not be done, as the
sick should BE removed to the City
Hospital.
1t was said that the hospital authori.
ties were adverse to receiving patients
from the almshouse, and a conference
will be held with the Board Of Health
to make final arrangements.
Another important item that was
brought UP by City Counsel James r
Nugent was the quality of the meai
served at the almshouse. He pointed
out that in the past the meat delivered
there cost the ci& $4.18 cents a hundred
pounds, while the cheapest meat gen.
orally pr%ocurable was Az cents pei
pound. That at the county institutions
meat cost So cents a pound. A better
grade will probably be served here
after.
Chairman Day will call a meeting OF
the committee in the near future, and
an inspection will be made and the
rules suggested yesterday considered.
The question of having clergymen tc
officiate at funerals evoked the query
as to who should be selected. Inquiries
will be made and the names of those
who are willing to attend will be regis
tered with the City Clerk.
