Sometimes it costs more to produce a commodity than it will bring when it is produced, but that condition can not exist for any great length of time because production which does not pay its way has ultimately got to cease, and the fact that most of the silver mines in the world are now in active operation shows that the cost of producing silver is not above the market price of that commodity. But under conditions which prevailed a few years ago it would have been. In those days the silver mines were far removed from railroads, but the great era of railroad building between 1880 and 1890 brought all the great mines within reach of transportation facilities. Under the old system drilling was done with hammer and hand drill. Now drilling is done with steam, hydraulic or electric rock drills which do the work of a hundred hammers and "jumpers." They use steam hoists instead of rope windlasses turned by hand. Air exhausts were set up, light ore railways were built to the nearest shipping stations and machinery of all kinds was perfected so that the cost of mining silver was but a fraction of what it was under the old days when, as the saying went, "it took a gold mine to run a silver mine." It will be stoutly asserted, nevertheless, that silver has at home, and he was attacked fiercely. His enemies, however, could not displace him in the royal favor. His great power has been with the dowager Empress, who really rules. His enemies suggested the Moscow trip, and it is thought that in his absence they achieved his undoing. It remains to be seen what this wonderful old man will do when he gets home. THE WAR IN CUBA. NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS BY THE PATRIOT INSURGENTS—AN IMPORTANT TOWN BURNED—IS MACEO DEAD? New York, Sept. 7 — The Herald publishes the following special correspondence from Palmacita, Cuba, under date of August 20: "Cescoiro is in ruins and another step has been taken toward the ultimate expulsion of Spanish troops from Cuba. The forces of Rosa and Pena have laid waste to the entire heart of the town, leaving the occupants of the forts in a precarious condition. The inmates of Cescooro's forts are now in a pretty bad way, no food of any kind being allowed to enter the place. Cescoiro is a small place, but important from the fact that it is a relay station for troops marching between the cities of Puerto Principe and Guayamaro." HAVANA, Sept. 5. — The Military Governor of Candelaria, Province of Pinar del Rio, has notified Captain General Weyler that he has been assured by several countrymen of Antonio Maceo that the insurgent leader died recently of wounds received in an attack upon a military train in the vicinity of Taco. Efforts are being made to ascertain if the information is correct. Chicago, Sept. 3. — Captain D. C. Durgin of New Orleans has been in the city for a week, endeavoring to purchase a boat of from two to three hundred tons, which he can transport to New Orleans either via the Illinois river or the St. Lawrence, and which is to be used in filibustering for the benefit of the Cuban patriots. Captain Durgin has unlimited means at his disposal, furnished to him by New Orleans merchants and capitalists who believe in the cause of Cuba. His instructions are to purchase in northern waters a boat which will stand the swift current of the lower Mississippi and the gulf of Mexico. He expected to find a boat of this character at Paducas, but it had been sold before he reached there. member of the United States Senate; the Republican side candidates for denomoy with previous Congression sense have been more numerous years. Fourteen years before his election he had been a United States Senator; years before his election to the senate. Hayes had been a Co-elected in 1864, twelve years before his election to the Senate before his nomination for the President; he was at the time Senator elected by Gen.

It will be stoutly asserted, nevertheless, that silver has fallen because of a world wide "conspiracy" to discredit silver, but the simple fact is that silver has fallen just as many other products have fallen, because produced cheaper than under the old system, and in much larger quantity. For instance, the American production of silver from 1890 to 1894 averaged $5,230,000 each year. From 1890 to 1894 the production of the silver mines in America averaged $73,911,800 each year. Is it any wonder that, with such a tremendous increase of production in so short a time, silver has fallen? The world's production of silver from 1861 to 1865 averaged annually $9,154,000. For the years 1890 to 1894 it averaged annually $161,400,840. These figures are all taken from statistics furnished by the director of the American mints and are reliable. In all reason is not the fall of silver accounted for without the element of "conspiracy?" ABOUT HIS CAREER THE HUNG CHANG SAYS GRANT AND GORDON WERE THE ONLY REALLY GREAT MEN HE EVER MET. When General Grant returned from his famous trip around the world he said that he met four really great men: Beaconfield, Bismarck, Gambetta and Li Hung Chang. Gossip ranks Li Hung Chang as the richest man in the world. He has admitted that he is worth $50,000,000 and gossip says that he is worth five times that much. Great and rich is Li Hung Chang, and yet his greatness and his riches avail him little. He is old, his enemies are young and powerful. He left China unwillingly. As long as he remained at home he knew that the influence of the Dowager Empress would suffice to retain him in high esteem. The visit to Russia was a scheme. His political enemies arranged it. They wanted him out of the way. They had him out of the way for some months, and Li, the greatest Chinese man of many centuries, knows that he can expect little good fortune in the future. To day he is rich, great, in a month he may be nobody, as poor as when he entered the service of the Tartan dynasty in his youth. Europe he adopted as his model. He reorganized the school system, tried to introduce railways and the telegraph and overhauled the army and navy. But he refused to learn any European language. He employed few Europeans. In 1880 Li Hung Chang's greatest temptation offered itself, and he lost his opportunity. The Tartar court was in a state of chaotic disruption and corruption. Russia was stealing land on the frontier and threatening further aggressions. Li turned to Gordon, who had forgiven if not forgotten Soo Chow. “What shall I do?” asked Li. “You have 50,000 men at your command. They are European drilled and armed.

PHILADELPHIA, September 3.-Important news from Cuba was brought to this port by British steamer Arandhu; which left Santiago de Cabaca a weak ago. On the day vessel sailed General Maximo Gomez passed in sight of Santiago bound toward Guatemala with 5000 men. The men could be seen in the daytime climbing El Cobre mountains; and at night their camp fell upon the 150 Spaniards while the latter were at dinner; and the Spaniards were cut to pieces almost before they were aware of the enemy's presence. In the meantime Rabi, with his main forces had captured the convoy and gained 200,000 cartridges and 500 rifles; besides provisions; clothing and medical supplies. PHILADELPHIA, September 3.-Important news from Cuba was brought to this port by British steamer Arandhu; which left Santiago de Cabaca a weak ago. On the day vessel sailed General Maximo Gomez passed in sight of Santiago bound toward Guatemala with 5000 men. The men could be seen in the daytime climbing El Cober mountains; and at night their camp fell upon them; causing great consternation amongthe residents as well as among Spanish soldiers. It is believed that Gomez bound to receive arms and ammunition landed there by The Daughters. On their march Gomez visited in person a number of French coffee planters; who have been given eight days' notice to quit work and leave their plantations. One of their number,the leader,and representative of A Paris banking syndicate;is reported to have been strung up by the neck until nearly dead,and when resuscitated sent to Santiago to warn others that the order issued to stop work must be obeyed.

On receipt of ten cents, cash or stamps, a generous sample will be mailed of the most popular Catarrh and Hay Fever Cure (Ely's Cream Balm) sufficient to demonstrate the great merits of the remedy. ELY BROTHERS, 56 Warren St., New York City. Rev. John Reid, Jr., of Great Falls, Mont., recommended Ely's Cream Balm to me. I can emphasize his statement, "It is a positive cure for catarrh if used as directed."—Rev. Francis W. Poole, Pastor Central Pres. Church, Helena, Mont. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents. Europe he adopted as his model. He organized the school system, tried to introduce railways and the telegraph and over-hauled the army and navy. But he refused to learn any European language. He employed few Europeans. In 1880 Li Hung Chang's greatest temptation offered itself, and he lost his opportunity. The Tartar court was in a state of chaotic disruption and corruption. Russia was stealing land on the frontier and threatening further aggressions. Li turned to Gordon, who had forgiven if not forgotten Soo Chow. "What shall I do?" asked Li. "You have 50,000 men at your command. They are European drilled and armed. The rabble at Peking is powerless. Put yourself at the head of your men, march to Peking, expel this wretched Tartar dynasty and make yourself the head of a new China. You can do it. I will help you." That was Gordon's reply, and Li probably could have done it, but lacked either the courage or the inolination. But Li was rich and getting old; and his family was well provided for, and so he lost his chance. He would let well enough alone, he made answer; and then Russia heard of the plot, complained to England that Gordon was interfering, and Mr. Gladstone, at the Czar's suggestion, called Gordon home, and later sent him to meet his death in Khartoum. Li did not take advantage of Gordon's advice at that time, but remembered it a few years later. A powerful intrigue had been formed in Peking against him, and he was ordered to go to headquarters. There the grateful Brother of the Sun intended to strip him of his power, confiscate his wealth and probably put him to death. Li went thither, but took his European-drilled army, and when he reached the walls sent in a message to tell the Emperor that he had arrived, and asked him what he wanted. As Li's army could have wiped out the whole Chinese forces and court in brief order, the Emperor sent back word that he simply wanted to ask him his opinion about the delicacy of the new tea crop. So Li accumulated property and lived a purely peaceful life until the aggression in Corea resulted in the war with Japan, for the conduct of which he was held directly responsible. Li did his best, but it was not enough. He was blamed for every defeat. He was stripped of his honors one by one. Another was put in command. His enemies declared that he was a traitor, in the pay of Japan. But his successor was not as efficient as Li had been, so the yellow jacket and his other honors were returned to him, and he was sent to Japan to sue for peace. About a year ago his Viceroyship was taken from him, and he was made the first Prime Minister; that China has ever had. After acting as a target for an overzealous Japanese man Li did all he could for China, but the terms he signed were declared hard that Gomez is bound to receive the arms and ammunition landed there by the Dauntless. On their march Gomez visited in person a number of French coffee planters, who have been given eight days' notice to quit work and leave their plantations. One of their number, the leader, and representative of a Paris banking syndicate, is reported to have been strung up by the neck until nearly dead, and when resuscitated sent to Santiago to warn others that the order issued to stop work must be obeyed. New York, Sept. 5. —A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: The Herald's correspondent on the Meron Jucaro trocha seed word that the insurgents have seized a Spanish convoy, which left Diego de Airla for Los Piedras, August 23, wounding and capturing the entire government force conisting of 300 men who were in charge of the convoy. The Spanish commander, with eight members of his staff, was released, however, after being disarmed by the rebels. They readied Meron at 9 o'clock on the night of the attack. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENCY. AMERICAN PRESIDENTS WHO HAD PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN CONGRESS. Both candidates for the Presidency this year have had experience in Washington. Major McKinley was for more than twelve years a member of the House of Representatives from the Canton district, and in the last year of his service he occupied, as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the place of Republican leader. Mr. Bryan achieved what little national distinction he had before the meeting of the Democratic Convention in Chicago as a member of the House of Representatives for two terms. Both candidates, therefore, have had previous Congressional experience, something which has not occurred in a Presidential contest in the United States for many years. Mr. Cleveland, who was for three campaigns the Democratic standard bearer, had no Congressional, or indeed any legislative experience at the time of his first nomination in 1884. Neither had Gen. Hancock, who was in the service of the United States Government when a candidate; nor Mr. Tilden. Horatio Seymour, though he had held many offices, was never a member of Congress, and neither was Gen. McClellan. In order to find a Democratic candidate for Presidency with Congressional experience and service before Bryan, it is necessary to go back to Stephen A. Douglas, who was for four years a member of the House of Representatives and for fourteen years a Democratic gold standard United States Senator in winter, but owing to the troubled withdrawal from the race, elected General Buckner in thing over $1,000,000, nearly invested in farm lands and rice is quite a poet having written very creditable verses. He versatile writer in prose, and many articles on the financial reputation is a great Shakpearean repute to be able to quote beginning to end. In 1844 General Buckner ran West Point, two years previous can War. During the struggle independence he entered the tenant and came out as an Civil War came on Buchanan Kentucky, and was made Admiral of the State, with a command guard. During the siege of Buckner was third in command Grant surrounded the fort on after the attacks of February the Confederate forces saw its distance would be fruitless. Generals turned the commander, and in the evening dealt with 5000 men. Buckner, o that his situation was hopeful cided to surrender. He won General Grant suggesting no sooner commissioned. To this immediately replied in a since been chronicled and history. At the close of Buckner devoted himself interests in farming and real estate.

MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE. On the Republican side candidates for the Presidency with previous Congressional experience have been more numerous in recent years. Fourteen years before his election to the Presidency, Mr. Lincoln represented the Springfield district of Illinois in Congress. Gen. Grant had no previous experience in Congress, but Andrew Johnson had represented one of the mountain districts of Tennessee in Washington for ten years. He had been a United States Senator for five years before his election to the Vice Presidency. Hayes had been a Congressman, elected in 1864, twelve years before his installation in office as President. When a candidate for Congress in one of the districts of Cincinnati in 1872, he was defeated. Gen. Garfield had sixteen years of consecutive service in the House of Representatives before his nomination for the Presidency, and he was at the time Senator elect from Ohio. Gen. Arthur had no previous Congressional experience. President Harrison had served six years in the United States Senate. Buchanan had been a member of Congress for five terms in the House and one in the Senate before his nomination to the Presidency. Pierce served four years in Congress. Millard Fulmer had been a Congressman from the Buffalo district, and Polk was fourteen years a member of Congress and twice chosen Speaker of the House before his nomination for the Presidency. Tyler had been a member of Congress from Virginia. Andrew Jackson was elected to the House of Representatives from Tennessee and afterward was a United States Senator. John Quincy Adams was a member of Congress before his election to the Presidency, and so was James Monroe of Virginia. James Madison was eight years in Congress before he became Secretary of State, and after having been Secretary of State he was elected President. John Adams, the second President, and Thomas Jefferson, the third, were both members of the first Colonial Congress, and both were signer of the Declaration of Independence. George Washington was elected a delegate to the first Colonial Congress, and he took an active part in its affairs. Previous Congressional experience is not thought to be necessary, but it is not usually detrimental to the chances of candidates. There seems to be an unwritten political law against the election of Presidents from the Senate of the United States. Mr. Blaine was for twelve years a member of Congress and for six years a member of the United States Senate before his nomination to the Presidency in 1884. He was Senator when nominated. SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS. Revised returns from the Vermont election give Grout (Rep) 53,076, Jackson (Dem) 13,983, a Republican plurality of 39,093. All the justices of the peace in Kern county are in trouble. The grand jury has demanded of them that they pay into the county treasury all moneys collected as fines and paid to constables as their share of the fees or costs in cases. The justices do not deny having paid the constables out of fines, but contend they had a right to do so. The matter will be settled in the courts. The Executive Committee of the Republican State Central Committee have appointed D. E. McKinley, a house painter of Santa Rosa, as Presidential Elector in the place of Colonel Charles F. Crocker, who resigned on account of having failed to register. The appointment of McKinley was in deference to the demand for a laboring man on the ticket. The grape growers of northern Ohio are troubled with a big crop, the heaviest known for years in many sections. The vines are black with fruit, which is selling at 5 cents a basket of ten pounds in the vineyards. There is no profit in such a price; for the basket cost 24 cents and picking as much more. It is said that no grapes will be sent to market, but the remainder of the crop will be sold to wine makers. Chief Justice Beatty of the Supreme Court on Saturday signed an order which will permit Theodore Darrant, the convicted murderer of Blanche Lamont, to remain in his present quarters in the San Francisco county jail, instead of having to go to San Qentin, pending this decision on his appeal. In doing this Chief Justice certifies that in his opinion there was "probable cause for the appeal of said defendant." The order also amounts to a stay of execution. The fusion committee of the Democrats and the Populists not again in San Francisco on Saturday, after a recess of several days during which it seemed there was little prospect of fasion. The committee decided to endorse Catlin in the First District, Devries in the Second, Maguire in the Fourth and Castle in the Seventh. No decision has yet been reached in regard to the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Districts. In the Fifth district neither of the nominees, Kelly and Rogers, will be endorsed, but the Populists will probably nominate a third man. Charles Mitchell, a carpenter, despondent and out of a job, broke into the San Francisco jail on Sunday in search of something would feel compelled to hold that the next election was that in which the Constitution provided for filling that particular office; that is, the next gubernatorial election." After quoting decisions in support of this proposition the opinion continues: "The effect of these decisions is that the term 'next election' means the next election for a Lieutenant Governor, and the language used in sec. 8 cannot be understood as itself directing that at the next succeeding general election the vacancy shall be filled." Joe Chenoweth, 22 years old, walked into the street in front of the Arlington hotel at Bakersfield at noon on Saturday, drew a revolver and said: "Here it goes, boys," and shot himself in the head. It was premeditated. He had traded a small pistol and a watch at a pawnshop for a big revolver and wrote several letters to an uncle before committing the act. Unrequited love is supposed to be the cause. The Chino ranch passed from the Chino Ranch company and Richard Gird, the former owners by deed in San Francisco on Saturday, to an English syndicate, represented by John Farquhar Gilmore. The ranch was purchased by C H. Phillips in September, 1894. The Chino Ranch company was organized, and in September, 1895, gave an option to Easton, Eldridge & Co., who induced English parties to purchase it. In March Gilmore came over from London and entered into a contract, which was closed on Saturday; the title passing to a new company organized by Gilmore. The purchase price was $1,000,000, the Chino Ranch company reserving 1,000 acres of land and the townsite of Chino. Congressman W. W. Bowers of the Seventh District has sent the following open letter to a newspaper at San Bernardino with a request to publish: "Please permit me to say that the article first appearing in the Examiner and widely copied throughout the State stating that I had received letters from Mark Hanna and bankers in the East telling me I must not talk silver, etc., and that I was going to denounce them on the stump; is a fabrication from beginning to end. Mr. Copeland never said anything of the kind. I have received no such letters, consequently am not called upon to denounce anybody. The article was concocted in Los Angeles, where as you are aware, I have some left-handed friends, particularly one newspaper which claims to be Republicans, but has never failed to lend itself to help defeat a part of the Republican ticket. It is impossible to keep up with all the industrious campaign liars. Very truly yours," THE THIRD TICKET BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE NOMINEES OF THE INDIANAPOLIS-CONVENTION. United States Senator John M. Palmer of Dillinia, the nominee of the Gold Democrate for the Presideney, may be said to be "the grand old man" of Illinois. Since 1840 he has been serving his State or his country in some capacity. Long before he sat in the Constitutional Convention of 1847 John M. Palmer was a Judge on the bench, and for forty years thereafter he administered the laws in the same capacity. From 1852 to 1856 he was State Senator. He was a delegate to the Republican Convention of 1860 and was a Republican Elector in the same year. He was a member of the peace conference in Washington in 1861. Then he went to the war. As Colonel of the Fourteenth Illinois infantry he did good service and was rapidly promoted. For conspicuous gallantry at the battle of Stone river he was made a Major General. In 1868 he was elected Governor of Illinois, but after his term of service expired he was less fortunate in politics. He became a Democrat and was three times defeated when before the Legislature as a candidate for Senator. In 1888 he was defeated as a Democrat for Governor, but the next time he appeared on the political field he won, and was sent to Washington as an Illinois Senator. Senator Palmer is a native of Kentucky and is 79 years old. General Simon Bolivar Buckner is 75 years old, and was born in Hart county, in the southern part of Kentucky, and still lives in the log cabin in which he was born. This log cabin was built by the General's father over 100 years ago, and the only time he has lived away from his birthplace was when he was Governor of his native State. The General has added to the original cabin, and he now has one of the most picturesque homes in the State. At West Point he graduated in the same class with General Grant. General Buckner has married twice and his present wife is a direct descendant of one of the oldest settlers in the country and her family is one of the most aristocratic families of Virginia. After his term as Governor had expired he returned to home where he was born. He was the Democratic gold standard candidate for United States Senator in Kentucky last winter, but owing to the troubled times he withdrew from the race, and no one was elected. General Buckner is worth something over $1,000,000, nearly all of which is invested in farm lands and real estate. He is quite a post, having written a number of very creditable verses. He is also a very versatile writer in prose, and has written many articles on the financial question. He is a great Shakespearean scholar and is reputed to be able to quote the plays from beginning to end. In 1844 General Buckner graduated from West Point, two years previous to the Mexican War. During the struggle for Mexican independence he entered the army as lieutenant and came out as captain. When the Civil War came on Buckner resided in The fusion committee of the Democrats and the Populists met again in San Francisco on Saturday, after a process of several days during which it seemed there was little prospect of fusion. The committee decided to endorse Cutler in the First District, Devries in the Second, Maguire in the Fourth and Castle in the Seventh. No decision has yet been reached in regard to the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Districts. In the Fifth district neither of the nominees, Kelly and Rogers, will be endorsed, but the Populists will probably nominate a third man. Charles Mitchell, a carpenter, despondent and out of a job, broke into the San Francisco jail on Sunday in search of something to eat. He knew he could get plenty to eat in the jail, so resolved to break a window when a policeman was near, and thus force his arrest. But he could not find any policeman on duty, and wandered about disconsolate. Finally he went into the city hall and threw a pistol through the window of Chief Crowley's office. The minions of the law lost no time in arresting him for malicious mischief, and Sunday night Mr. Mitchell enjoyed a square meal at the city's expense. Hundreds of people on the beach near the Cliff House in San Francisco on Saturday spent hours watching an apparently interminable procession of ducks flying southward, a quarter of a mile off shore, at a height of not more than twenty feet from the water. They flew in one long and regular line, twenty-five or thirty birds abreast, and as closely together as possible. As far as the eye could reach north or south there was an unbroken line of them. One watcher waited four hours for the end of the procession, but it seemed no nearer at that time than at the beginning. Birds ought to be pleniful in the marshes and seashore hereabouts when the season opens. John M. Palmer of Illinois and Simon Bellivar Buckner of Kentucky, two white-haired veterans of the war, rival commanders of the blue and gray were nominated by the National Democratic Convention at Indianapolis on Thursday for President and Vice-President on a brief but emphatic platform, which repudiates the doctrines enunciated by the Chicago convention; indoles President Cleveland and his administration in glowing terms; declares for the gold standard, tariff for revenue only; liberal shipping laws, currency reform, civil service reform and economy in public expenditures. Salvador Romero and a woman named Ren Garcia were found dead in a lodging house in San Francisco on Sunday, clapped in each other's arm. The woman, who was the wife of Ben Garcia, of Redwood City, went to the city Saturday night with Romero. They engaged rooms at the Alpha house and retired. Sunday morning the propietor of the hotel went to their room and found them dead on a loft. The woman had removed her clothing and attired herself in a white garment, evidently her wedding dress. Both left letters expressing their love for each other, and the woman left one saying she had been ill-treated by her husband, and had left him for that reason. S.W. Livingston of Panadena is suing his wife, Mary A. Livingston, for support. He is 83 years of age and she is 79. The couple were married in 1831 in Minneapolis. Mrs. Livingston was at that time in possession of about $10,000 and Mr. Livingston had $2,000 in the bank. On coming to California Livingston's money was invested in a place, on which was filed a declaration of a home stead. The marriage was not happy and last March Livingston instituted proceedings for divorce on grounds of cruelty, but the case on advice of counsel was dismissed. Mrs. Livingston charged her husband with being insane. Livington now asks that the court compel his wife to grant him $75 a month in his old age. Mrs. Sarah Hayden, the wife of a San Francisco butcher, had a thrilling encounter with a highwayman early Sunday morning. Her husband being unwell she paid off thePlease permit me to say that the article first appearing in the Examiner and widely copied throughout the State stating that I had received letters from Mark Hanna and bankers in the East telling me I must not talk silver, etc., and that I was going to denounce them on the stump; a fabrication from beginning to end.

It is impossible to keep up with all the industrious campaign liars. Very truly yours, W.W.Bowers." Rudyard Kipling with his wife and two children sailed from New York last week for Europe. He may not return to America. Kipling said that he and Mrs. Kipling would spend some time on the Continent, going from there to England. How long a time he would spend there didn't know. Eventually he would go to India, the country of his birth, and possibly he would visit Samoa and the other islands of the southern Pacific, a trip he contemplated taking several years ago and gave up. "Will you return to America, if so when? Mr. Kipling was asked." "Oh yes; I expect to come back again, when I get ready. I haven't the slightest notion as to when that will be." "Do you call America your home?" "That my home where I choose to live." "You have the reputation, Mr. Kipling, of being a man who was never interviewed. Is that true, and if so why do you object to subject yourself to an interviewer's questions?" "If I object to being interviewed it must be because I don't care to be questioned about those things which concern me more than they do any one else. Good day; I must see about a piece of luggage which is not in my stateroom and which I want there." With that the young man breaking into a nervous little run hurried away after the missing luggage. A year ago D.O.Davies, cashier and manager of the Citizens' Exchange Bank of East Peru, Iowa, wrecked the bank and disappeared with $14,000 of its cash. He left absolutely nothing in the little institution, which was a private concern. Davies had come from the East with good letters and a small amount of money and started bank. He was located at New York after several months, where he was running another bank in the same way. He was found to be an old hand at the business. He was brought back to the Iowa town and looked up in jail. After two months he and another prisoner named Streeter escaped, digging out of the jail. Possess of the infuriated farmers of the county went in search and caught Streeter, but Davies was never found unless the sensational story which has just come out is true. It is said he was lynched by the pose that caught Streeter. The story is told by a man named Ed Jones, who is now in Omaha. He was in the Madison county jail at the time Davies escaped. He tells the story that after Streeter was brought back some of the vigilantes called on him and Jones overheard their conversation. From it he learned that Streeter and Davies had been together when they came upon them in the woods. The pose shot Davies fell lead and then buried him. Streeter was spared because he swore he would never tell what he knew of Davies' end. This story has been known to Davies relatives and the attorneys in case for two weeks, but has just become public.The officers have been working on it but have been unable to develop much. There is great interest in this story from the fact that an attempt was made to lynch Davies when he was first put in jail,and his life was not considered worth a cent if the people of the county ever got hands on him.Streeter is now in the penitentiary and denies the story. Democratic gold standard candidate for United States Senator in Kentucky last winter, but owing to the troubles times he withdrew from the race, and no one was elected. General Buckner is worth something over $1,000,000, nearly all of which is invested in farm lands and real estate. He is quite a poet, having written a number of very creditable verses. He is also a very versatile writer in prose, and has written many articles on the financial question. He is a great Shak-spearean scholar and is reputed to be able to quote the plays from beginning to end. In 1844 General Buckner graduated from West Point, two years previous to the Mexican War. During the struggle for Mexican independence he entered the army as lieutenant and came out as captain. When the Civil War came on Buckner resided in Kentucky, and was made Adjutant-General of the State, with a command of the State guard. During the siege of Fort Donelson Buckner was third in command of the fort. Grant surrounded the fort on all sides, and after the attacks of February 13th and 14th the Confederate forces saw that further resistance would be fruitless, and the senior Generals turned the command over to Buckner, and in the evening departed by boats with 5000 men. Buckner, quickly realizing that his situation was hopeless, at once decided to surrender. He wrote a letter to General Grant suggesting an armistice until noon of February 15th, that terms of surrender might be agreed upon by appointed commissioners. To this General Grant immediately replied in a letter that has since been chronicled and made famous in history. At the close of the war General Buckner devoted himself to his business interests in farming and real estate.

Mrs. Sarah Hayden, the wife of a San Francisco butcher, had a thrilling encounter with a highwayman early Sunday morning. Her husband being unwell, she paid off the employees and left the store shortly after midnight, carry a small satchel in which she had placed $110, and accompanied her twelve-year-old daughter, started homeward. While standing on the corner waiting for a car, a man poked a pistol into her face and commanded her to give up the satchel. She screamed for help, and two men rushed to her assistance, but were threatened by the ruffian and kept aloft. An officer arriving at this juncture, the robber fled across some vacant lots and escaped. The Supreme Court has denied the petition of John C. Lynch for a mandate compelling Gov. Budd, in his proclamation for the coming election, to include a call for the election of a Lieutenant-Governor to fill the unexpired term of Spencer G. Millard. The decision is a victory for Gov. Budd and a defeat for Lynch, and means that William T. Jeter, Gov. Budd's appointee to the position of Lieutenant-Governor, made vacant by the death of Millard, will hold his office until 1898. The opinion of the court was written by Justice Temple and concurred in by Justices McFarland, Van Fleet, Harrison, Beatty and Henshaw. Justice Temple's opinion in part is as follows: "In this case both parties concede, as indeed the exigencies of each requires him to do, the vacancy caused by the death of Millard was one which the Governor had the power to fill. 'But it is conceded by the parties that upon the death of the Lieutenant-Governor the Governor may fill the vacancy by appointment. This is unmistakably within the language of sec. 8, article V, which roads as follows.'

At the meeting of the Regents of the University of California on June 9th, 1896, a special committee of Ways and Means composed of Regents Reinsteine, Black and Rodgers submitted a report embodying a plan for promoting the agricultural interests of the State, which was adopted by the Board. At a meeting of August 11th the following committee was appointed to carry this provision into operation: Regents Kellogg, Reinstein, and Black Professors Hilgard, Jones and Wickson. This committee increased its number to seven by the election of Regent Chase to membership, and issued the following declaration of purposes. The Board of Regents of the University of California has arranged to hold throughout in occupations dependent on the soil, at which meetings the representatives of the University will seek to bring about such a relation between the University and the agricultural interests of the State as shall minister to the welfare of all concerned. These meetings are expected to strengthen the Farmers' Institutes already organized, and to further create of new Farmers' Institutes and local farmers' clubs, the eminent utility of which is universally admitted. A prominent purpose of these meetings is to obtain the opinion of those interested in agriculture throughout the entire State, as to the best means of spreading and practically applying the scientific teaching and knowledge of the University of California on agriculture and other industrial subjects. With the aid of such opinions it is expected to plan, as soon as possible, the system best calculated to accomplish that result and thereby increase the value and variety of the products of the soil of this State.
