NETHERLANDS TO HOLD
FIRST DOPE CONGRESS.

Washington, Dec. 24.-One of the
most interesting conventions to be
held in the coming year is the So
called dope congress''-the con-
gress for the International control of
habit forming drugs, the preliminar.
les for which are now being arrang-
ed by the government of the Neither
lands. Some years ago diplomatic
negotiations between China and
England resulted in an agreement
between the two powers by which
England agreed upon a gradual re-
duction Of the quantities of opium
from it's Asiatic possessions into
China in proportion as the Chinese
government restricted the manufac-
ture of opioum in China.
The great benefits which have re-
suited from this agreement have
caused the enlightened progressives
who now dominate the government
of the celestial empire to seek a
more rapid reduction of opium sale
inChina than is provided for in tn.
Anglo-Chinese treaty. At the time
of the signing of this treaty certain
influential citizens of the United
States interested in the state depart
ment in the plight of China from
this point the agitation in this coun-
try upon the subject of a general
control of habit forming drugs has
steadily increased. Accordingly the
state department decided to take the
initiative in proposing a world con-
ference. The proposition was agreed
to by all of the powers but two of
them diagreed as to the inclusion of
certain drugs in the classification of
'habot forming drugs" This mat
ter is being undertaken by the
Netherlands. 1t will probably con-
vene within the next few weeks.

Rapid City. Dec. IA. 3. Nc
cHellan. an old time resident OF Te-
Dee gulch between Rockerville and
keystone. has been missing since the
third of the present month, and it Is
generally feared that he Is dead.
He had been living in cabin with
Joe Baer, and ON the day named he

ne was going over to the Calumet
mine to get his check. He had been
engaged in delivering wood at the
mine. From the time when he left
6rAham's he has not been seen. 1t
" the general belief that he has
committed suicide, as he had been
heard on more than one occasion to
aay that he would blow himself to
pieces with dynamite. He had some
dynamite In his cabin, and this was
missed shortly after his disappear
ance. A number of people from
Keystone and th Calumet have

SNOW LOOKED LIKE THE
REAL THING

In Personal "reminiscences of
Henry Irving" Bran Stoker lets his
readers into the secret of how the
snow scene in "The Corsican Broth
ers' was made so effective.
All over the stage was a thick
blanket of snow, white and glisten-
ing in the winter sunrise-snow tina,
lay so thick that when the duelists
stripped and armed, stood face to
face they each secured a firmer foot
hold by scraping it away. OF many
wonderful effects this snow was per-
haps the most impressive of reality.
The public could never imagine how
it was done. 1t was salt-common
coarse salt-which was white in the
appointed light and glistened like
real snow. There were tons of it.
A crowd of men stood ready in the
wings with little baggage trucks
such as are now used in the corridors
OF great hotels, silent with rubber
wheels. On them were great wide
mouthed sacks full of salt. When
the signal came they rushed in on
all sides, each to his appointed spot,
and tumbled. out his load, spreading
it evenly with great wide wooden
shovels."

SAYS HUSBAND
PAINTED HIS FACE.

New York, Dec. "a The Judge
was so astonished last week when the
Weisses took their family troubles
to him for settlement that he deci-
ded that it would be best to fix the
husbands bail at $500 and return to-
day to face the wife's charges. No
lawyer could put it better than Mrs.
Weiss. whose testimony is as fol-
lows: could tolerate his looking
occasionally at other women, Judge,
and also his staying out late at night,
even though we were only married a
year. But ] couldn't stand his paint
ing his face. It's bad enough for a
woman to do SO, but mana hus-
band who spends fifteen minutes be-
fore the mirror every morning paint
ing his cheeks rosy and pencilling his
eyebrows! Well, Judge, l left him. .
Mrs. Weiss is seventeen and her hus-
band Is two years her senior. The
judge will decide today whether she
ought TO have a separation or an
out-and-out divorce.

WOOL RAISERS WILL
DISCUSS THE TARIFF

Portland, Ore, Dec. 24.-lSpe-
cial) --When the National Wool
Growers association meets in Port
land next month in annual conven-
ton, the session will resemble a con-
su'tation OF physicians over a COM
plicated case. The problem to be
solved is how to keep the next con-
gress from making Jig saw puzzle
out of Schedule K, which is In grave
danger, its friends fear, of being cut
to pieces when the democrats get in
control of the next house.
This will be the dominant topic of
| the convention beyond a doubt. No
less than 5000 sheep raisers from
all parts of the country will be in
attendance ana there will be many a
discussion over the threatened tariff
changes as they affect the wool men.
President Fred w. Gooding of the
National association, in discussing
matters that will engage the atten-
ton of the delegates when they meet
in convention said
"One of our chief concerns as fol-
lowers OF the Oldest line of husband
ry of which history speaks is the as
sault that has recently been so per-
sistently made upon the wool and
woolens schedules in the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law. Discussions that will
be had in the convention will be edu-
cational. Not only is the general
public. almost entirely uniformed,
or rather misinformed, in regard to
the merits of the tariff rates on wool
and woolens, but believe that a
very large majority of the wool
growers themselves have but little
idea of the Importance of the SUBJ
ject.
III, through the discussions that
will be held in the convention, moth
ing more is accomplished than the
removal of the prejudices that have
been engendered by the muck-rakers
iii the magazines, and the mudsling-
ers on the political hastings against
the wool growers and wooden man
ufacturers, the convention will have
been we'll worth holding"
