MEXICO CITY
 IN BAD MESS
OUTLAWS RAMPANT AND CON- OPTIONS GENERALLY ARE
 REPORTED SERIOUS

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Reports have arrived from Mexico City which show clearly that the conditions in that capital are of the most serious kind. Outlaws are rampant. No per son considers himself safe in the streets after dark and before the minds of the population is constantly held the danger of an outburst of murder and rapine. Owing to the in- stability of the government the of ficials manifest a weakness which renders them almost absolutely use less. It is even said that the cOndi- tions are worse than the public ac- counts have made them appear and frightful story is looked for any time.

FABULOUSLY RICH
 STRIKE AT HOPE

That a fabuously rich quartz strike has been made "back of Hope is the information tclcphoncd today from
 Mile Thirty four by Ed Grabbc. Ac- cording to the statement of Mir. Grabbe the quartz is infinitely super for to anything eyer reported before in the district. Some of the ore is about twenty-five per cent pure gold and nearly all the rock shows go really amazing quantity of free gold al. over. It is the belief that the ledge is the one that has supplied all the placer to Resurrection, Bear and Palmer creeks. Last fall the prospecting for the ledge began Just before that in summer time, some float was found and the finders began to pan towards the direction in which the ledge was expected to be discovered They pan- ned up to the ledge and this spring began digging. The result according to the information received. is hardly less than extraordinary. "Phonomcn- ally rich" is the phrase used in des- cribing the rock. Piaughman and Doe Hawcs are named as the discoycrcrs. Mr. Grabbe will reach town tonight when fuller facts will be asccrtaiucd.

 eved here to be an act of war as it inteferes with Italian property.

Washington received a surprise
basket.
1t was big basket and 1t was
full of potatoes, turnips, carrots,
and other vegetables grown by
the boys and girls In the native
school at Klukwan, Alaska.
The United States bureau Of
education maintains about 100
public schools for natives in
Alaska and gardening is taught
in many of them. Gardening in
the shadow of the Arctic circle!
This shows that the climate is
not SO frigid as other parts of
the world in the same latitude.
The school at Klukwan Is one
of 81 public schools for natives.
The teacher at Shungnak,
within the Arctic circle. reported
to the bureau that he supervised
the making of II native gardens
and four large school gardens
last summer.
One-third of an acre he set
apart as a model garden; on this

Scopolamin is the new anes-

this ordeal has always been

of the doctors administering 1t

The condition of coma which
this drug produces has been
named Twilight Sleep" because
those under its influence keep
possession of their physical pow

perform all the duties of person
in full consciousness, and they
retain their mental faculties to
the extent of being able to follow
all the dictates of those in attend

CHAPTER w.

With the end of the Revolu-
tionary war the navy practically
passed out of existence. The
country was financially PROSTATE;
even IL 1t seemed desirable to
maintain a navy, how was it to
be supported? Anyhow, peace
had come, and why should 1t not
endure? A familiar observation!
So the four ships remaining In
the fighting fleet were disposed
of-the Dcane, the Washington
and the Alliance, old vessels,
were sold, and the fine new ~
gun ship-of-the-line America was
presented to the king of France
as token of the colonies graft
tude for his assistance against
England. By 1885, the colonies
owned not a single armed vessel
and our nation set out to reap
the fruit Of peace that is fol-
lowed by disarmament.
The result of this policy soon
began to show. Our merchant
ships multiplied fast. and when
they began to carry our flag into
the Mediterranean the piratical
raiders fthe Barbary Coast soon
recognized it as representing q
weak power likely to fall easy
prey to their cruisers. In Octo.
Der, 1874. the American bria

pirates and taken into Tangier--
