 A remarkable find of placer gold on Prince of Wales Island has just come to light, the discovery having been made in true story book fashion. A man, who as yet shall be nameless. who lived at the point in question and kept few chickens, not long ago killed one of them and in cleaning it was astounded to find bona fide mug get of considerable size Hardly be- lieving his eyes, he tested the gold thoroughly and found that it was un- aoubtedly the real thing. He hurried into town, showed the nugget to sev- eral parties, and one of them at least, couldn't get over to camp quick enough. Once there, he slapped placer locations all over the place, evel, over some patented ground-eveiy- thing looking alike to the enthusiastic citizen in his anxiety to corral the nugget-growing feeding ground of the late unfortunate hen. He corralled all right, but has not yet started sluicing, and may delay active "min- ing operation" for some little time as the lady who formerly owned the nugget and lost it in the chicken-coop nas come forward, identified her property, and insisted that it be re- turned to her What will you have, gentlemen ?

Townsend and this city is straining every nerve to give the ships and men such welcome as has never been re- ceived by any body of men in the world. The preparations for the official welcome are practically com. pleted and everything will be in readiness at the appointed hour.
 Washington, May 23.-A resolution has been incorporated in the proposed Crumpacker amt rGment which is de- signed to reduce the [, pl esentation o1 the Southern states in Congress. This has been attempted at various times in the past but has pever been put through and it is generally be- lieved that the present measure will be killed in the Senate.
 Washington, May 2'.-The House today passed the bill providing that all contributions for campaign expenses of the political parties must be mad matter of record. Should the bill become d law, it is believed the result will be tendency on the part of cor porate interests to either reduce their contributions to the funds or stop them entirely, since the published state ment of the amount contributed would lead to q belief that the corporate in terests were expecting and would re ceive in return favorable conisdera- tion in legislative matters.
 The following cablegram was receiv- ed today ny The Miner from Wash ington and s-self-explanatory:
 Washington, May 23.-Delegate Gale announces today that he will again run for Congress, having been induced to take this course on the earnest solicitation of friends both in Washington and in Alaska.
 c. A. HAMILTON
 Washington, Dec 22.-The confer ence committee has increased the ap- propriation for the improvement ol the defenses on Puget Sound to one million dollars. The number of guns and carriages will be reduced and the expenditure for emplacement GU down, but the sum seeking to improve the fire control will be raised and provi- sion will 6e be made for installing and maintaining large number Gt neg searchlights.
 San Francisco, May 23.-A lighted cigarette carelessly thrown on the floor was the direct cause of disas- trous fire which broke out in the Har- bor Hotel building this morning, a:.d which for a time threatened to result most disastrously. The flames spread quickly and in spite of quick re- spopse by the fire department, soon broke out in the adjoining buildings. Before the ire could be checked five buildings besides the hotel were de stroved, causing property loss of not less than a hundred thousand dollars
 Spokane, Wash, May 23. Harry Russell, ten year old boy of this city has made the astonishing confession that he is guilty of the recent station robbery at Elk, Washington. He says that he crept up behind the agent, as- saulted him and calmly secured ali the funds in the office amounting to over five luadred dollars. Shortly after the robbery occurred, on May fifth, Charles Wheeler of this city confessed that he committed the crime but it is now shown that he had noth- ing whatever to do with it, and that his confession was made up of whole cloth, evidently to shield the boy.

 Cleveland. May P. Another car was demolished by dynamite last night after day of comparative quiet.

Oysters and Typhoid.

The oyster trade has been hit
hard by reports that these shell
fish often carry germs of typhoid
fever. The National Oyster
Growers Association has re-
solved that something must be
done about it. 1t asks the gov
eminent to help in a campaign
of education" to convince the
people that oysters are safe:
Any one doubling that the oyster
is a wholesome as well as delight
full food has only to take a look at
the old sea coaster who has been
eating them perhaps 80 years. 1t
will be as hard to convince the
average man that soysters carry
typhoid, as that at0matoes cause
cancer.

Illinois has more acres, raises
more bushels and gets more
money for her corn crop than
any other state. The average
yield last year was thirty-six
bushels to the acre and the total
estimated value on December l,
was $3.50, 813, 900. That's some
corn.
Assessor Rolla Phillips broke
the record last year in enumerat-
ing dogs in Earl township. He
scared up III, and says they are
all assessed to their rightful
owners. 1t is now up to Asses
sor Thompson to beat that record
by finding a few more this
spring.
The above two items are from
the Earlville, I'll. Leader now
owned and edited by E. B. Ia
Dor, formerly of this town, and
show that Illinois is the banner
corn growing state of the Union,
and also that dogs are taxed up
there. Corn clubs will do much
towards increasing the yield in
Rankin county, and the day will
come when the county and state
will do like Brandon and tax the
dogs.

Instead of using every able
bodied convict making cotton the
prison board should establish a
factory to manufacture low
grades into wrapping for cotton
bales, and no better use could it
be put to, and certainly better
wrapipingiis needed. And should
the experiment not be successful
who is better able to stand the
loss than the state.

The fact that the United
States fleet has sailed through
the straits of MagellanEcalls at
tention to the fact that the fear
less navigator, Magellan, made
the longest continuous voyage in
the history of the world, and he
died in the Philippines before his
ship had completed the circum-
navigation of the globe. Many
predict that our vessels will find
a grave in the same territory,
either in declared war or a Maine
disaster.

Hon. J. M. Cox, representa-

which provides that all contracts

fined to the state. At present
very little, if any, of the states
printing is being done by Offices
in the state. There are several
offices in Mis- sis sippi well
equipped to do the work, and it
is but just and right that the
work be kept within the state.
1t is the home offices that pay

Forrest, died at Memphis last
Saturday morning. He entered
the war at the age of IA years
