years had proved fatal TO three mem

which compelled Mr.. Mitchell TO give

journalistic work in New York.
For time he retired to an old fam

he undertook a trip to Europe, from

The Worlds Wheat Supply.

The possibilities in increasing the

that of the United States, are manifold

the Century Magazine. Vast regions
of land in South America, North
Africa and Asia are awaiting the de
mand for still more wheat which

the self.biuder and cause them to
yield food-product sufficient TO feed
a new population OF untold millions.

extent of which can hardly be guessed,

Pear shaped balloons are the fash.

the base of the balloon is spherical. Ii
Is claimed that the balloons OF this
shape pierce the air vertically With
far greater speed than the ordinary
spherical balloon. Consequently they
are steadier. Also the upper pointed
end prevents the accumulation OF
moisture or snow on the surface,
which frequently weighs a balloon
down and destroys its power to rise.

peace at Cheney seems involved
in some complications. w. B.
Webb. democrat, who has held
the place for some years, thought
he had been reelected again. on
November 3, but the official count
Saturday left him out. The law is
that each precinct shall have it's
own justice of the peace, and on
this ground Webb, who was elect
ed by six votes on the Joint returns
from the two precincts in Cheney,
has lost out by five votes when
the vote of the two precincts are
considered individually.
There were three candidates:
Frank Hatfield, present two mag
istrate of Cheney; A. A. Ames and
w. B. Webb. On the combined vote
of the two precincts Ames receiv-
ed 1873, Webb 121, and Hatfield III.
In the vote by precincts East
Cheney gave Hatfield 80, Webb So
and Ames 60. West Cheney gave
Hatfield IS, Webb So and Ames 70.
The canvassing board declared
Hatfield the duly elected justice

precinct and Ames the successful

on suspicion of being James G.
Durham. the fiendish murderer of
the entire McGlincy family of six
people at Campbell, Cal, on May
26, 1896, is still an enigma. in
spite of ceaseless effort by the
police.
Hundreds of residents of Santa
Clara county, who knew Jim Dun
ham well, have viewed the prison
err during the past week. OF this
number the majority declare that
the man is not Durham, but a pro-
