ENTERTAINED AT DINNER.

Receiver Satterlund of the U. S.
land office, assisted by his daughter
Miss Hilda, entertained at dinner last
evening the other officers and EN-.
ployes of the land office and those
formerly in the surveyor generals
office. It was also a sort of fare
well party to Miss Hilda, who in a
few days leaves for Washington, D.
c., to accept position in the gen.
eral land Office. It is needless to
say the occasion was an enjoyable
one for all. .:

HOUSE OF MEMORIES
Indiana Man to Perpetuate Ten
der Associations of His Life.
H00slER WOOD FOR A HoosIER

Dr.. z. Hes kerlin Of Chicago to Finish
Rooms In Costly House In Black
Walnut From His tGrandfather's
Farm-stiIl Another Recollection.
Two big piles of rough Indiana lum-
Der are now attracting the attention Of
thousands Of people who hourly pass
along in the, famous Sheridan road Of
Chicago. The material is stacked up
on a big lot in one of the finest and
most exclusive residence sections of
Chicago. Lib &.-sa. ~.
An Indiana man is building a house,
and in the use of the lumber he has
planned to perpetuate number of the
most tender associations of his life, ali
Of which he brought from the great
Hoosier domain.
The builder is DR.. e. lies Kerlin.
The lumber is fine grade and grain
of black walnut, and it came from a
farm four miles out of Richmond, says
the Indianapolis News. 1t was cut on
the farm Of DR.. Kerlin's paternal
grandfather and namesake, e. lies
kerlin, who settled on the Indiana
farm more than seventy years ago.
On this farm Or. Kerlin's father,
James F. Kerlin, nursed the trees
when they were mere saplings, and he
kept them trimmed until they became
monarchs of the farmyard. 1t was
from these trees that the lumber now
piled up on the Sheridan roadside was
sawed in an Indiana sawmill during
the present year and is to form one of
the most substantial residences on the
north side. .-. .
After the death of Grandfather Ker-
lin the farm went to his daughter, now
Mrs. John T. Alexander of Hunting.
ton, whom everybody in the com
munity Knew and knows as Aunt Mat
tie. When she was told that her neph-
ew, DR.. Kerlin, was about to build a
house she suggested that he finish at
least one room from the lumber of the
great walnut trees that still were
standing on his grandfather's farm and
which had been carefully nursed and
kept trimmed by his own father. DR..
Kerlin acted on the suggestion at once
The trees were cut and hauled to q
sawmill, and the product is now seen
on the Sheridan park building lot in
Chicago. The material will remain IN
the sun during the summer in process
of drying. Then it will be kiln dried
and ultimately dressed for the use In
store for it. On the first floor of the
new home will be large living room.
| 1t will have beamed ceiling, wains-
coting, bookshelves built in the walls
and large mantel, all of which will be
built from the Indiana black walnut
material. Two bedrooms also will be
finished from this material that came
from the grandfather's farm.
Still another fond Indiana recollec
ton will be perpetuated for all time
| in this house. Under the big walnut
mantel will be a large ventilatfng CRATE
1t will be furnished by William NJ
! Jackson, who was the principal OF
Friends academy at Richmond wher
| DR.. Kerlin graduated there in 1875
| To make it still more of an Indiana
| production the superstructure is oil
Bedford stone. The architecture OF
| the house follows the old colonial, with
| great wide hall in the center.

Whatever you think you are going
to be, you will be, unless you get, on
the wrong car. I've learned one thing
when you want work, take the first
thing that is offered. That's the way
I got into this place. It's easy enough
to get a job when you don't want it,
but when you have got to have work,
and go after itswith a gun, it is about
as sly as an old coyote that every
farmer in the county has had a shot
at. We are all cheerful losers on
this job, but I'd hate to have the boss
tell me to go out and lose myself. 4
know one thing that you can't lose
out, and that's the values in our
granite ware. We have all the good
kinds, such as Vandykes, German
White and White Chats white out:
side and white inside), Chrysolite
and .Stransky, and they are all the
best in their class. We don't keep
any green goods" in our granite ware
department, excepting the Chrysolite
ware, and we don't ask fancy prices
for. that stuff, either. Well. when are
you coming in? -,

TEN TONS OF RAWHIDE
RETURN $4,000 IN GOLD
Exceeds Estimate by $100 a Ton
According to Test Run
in Mill
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL

RENO. New, May ia bar of bull
lion weighing close TO $4,000 and rep
resenting the output of 10 tons of ore
from the Kearns No. 2 lease at Raw
hide was brought to Reno tonight, the
result of a sample test run completed
in the Western ore companys mill at
Hazen this afternoon. This result is
surprising to the management as well
as those who have been following the
work on the Kearns property, for 1T
was believed that the ore would re-
turn 1892 a ton. The returns show an
increase of more than 500 on this
estimate. or q total value of s393 to
each Of the 10 tons. The ore was taken
from the 20 foot level of the Kearns.
More men are at work In the district
today, drawing better pay than at any
time in the history of the camp. Work
on the railroad cut of Schurs Is pro-
crossing rapidly. From daylight to
dark. Sundays and holidays, this will
continue until the line Is completed,
the contractors say. BY July 1t Is
the aim to have the line in operation.
Even now arrangements are under way
for monster celebration of the event.

cable Arrangement
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON. Nay 1s.-In the SEN
ate today Foraker abandoned his effort
to secure consideration at this session
Of his bin reinstating the negro troops
who were discharged from service on
account OF the Brownsville riot, and
moved TO make the bill the special
order for December 16 next Culber-
son moved TO substitute next Saturday,
May I6.
In making his motion Foraker said
that he was actuated by the conviction
that il would be impossible in the
crowded state of business to secure a
vote during the present session By q
vote of AZ to 27 the senate laid on the
table Culberson's motion fixing next
Saturday as the date for voting on the
Brownsville bill.
After disposing Of the Culberson mo-
ton the senate, 81 to 6, agreed to the
Foraker motion fixing December 16
next as the time for voting on the
Browpsville bill
The elimination OF the long contest
on the Brownsville affair created g
great sensation throughout the CAPT
toll The general verdict was thatft is
closely connected with republican ma
tional politics. a clash between
President Roosevelt and the senate is
avoided and the closing days Of con-
gress will be relieved of possible acute
dissensions in the republican ranks.
It is reported that the Taft and
Foraker forces have reached an agree
ment whereby Foraker is to have NJ
opposition to reelection.
Aldrich was very busy on the hool
and is credited with having patched VI
the republican differences.

TEN THOUSAND MET
DEATH IN HANKOW
Sudden Tidal Bore in Yangtse
Kiang Flooded River and
Wrecked Steamers
Details of Disaster Brought
From China by Steamer Titan
BeIittle Cable Report

SEATTLE, May 13.-News of one of
the greatest disasters that China has
ever known, sudden tidal bore In
the Yangtse Kiang, which involved the
loss OF nearly 10000 lives at Hankow,
etc. was brought by the steamer Titan,
which arrived last night.
A bore 26 feet in height flooded with
out warning down the river, over
wheiming thousands of junks, sampans
and small boats and wrecking some
large river steamers.
Some 5000 Chinese were sleeping in
sampans and small craft and mat sheds
and huts by the river side at Hankow.
and they were enveloped by the great
wave, which swept broken junks,
spliptered sampans and a hetero-
geneous mass of debris with swarms Of
drowned Chinese mixed with the wreck
age.
The scenes for many days after the
disaster were horrible, the river side
being strewn with dead and debris Of
wrecked craft for many miles.
The tidal wave referred to in the
above dispatch previously was reported
by cable. A dispatch from Shanghai,
dated April 13, said that disastrous
floods had occurred at Hankow. on the
Yangtse Kiang. in which 1000 persons
lost their lives. Several hundred junks
were fsunk or wrecked. The waters
caught the people In the middle of the
night and all avenues OF escape were
cut off. The cable advices did not show
that the food was by any means as
disastrous as does the dispatch from
Seattle.
