DEADWOOl), 8. D.. April ?. (Fpeclal.)
A bar o( bullion weighing 680 ounces and
valued at a little over 17.000 hat Just been
deposited In tbe Flm National batill of
Deadwood, being the result of the laet two
weeks' run at the Wasp No. i cysnlde mill
on Yellow creek. This company Is one of
the most regular bullion shipper In the
Black Hills, making two shipments monthly.
The last tmo weeks' run bas been consider
ably Interfered with on account of the deep
snow and bad weather, and It Is not ex
pected that the mill can work with any
regularity before May 1. The company pro
poses to add fifty tons to the rapacity of
the plant during the present year.
The Spearflsh Gold Mining and Reduction
company Is taking out ore from under
ground stopea during the Inclement weather
of spring Imtead of out of the open cuts
In which It has been working for the last
year and a half. A year ago at this time
the company was compelled to shut Its plant
down aa the or was being mined In the
open and hauled half a mile to the mill
with wagons.
The indications of the proximity of good
sized bodies of pay ore on City creek, be
ginning at the city limits of Dead wood and
extending- up the creek for a mile or more,
are considered excellent by mining men
who have been making examinations of the
different, properties. On a claim belonging
to the estate of the late J. A. Miller, Join
ing the city on the west, there is aa out
cropping of a strong vein of free-milling
quartz on which some work has been done
in the way of a seventy-flv-foot tunnel
and sn open cut. The vein Is a true Assure,
and Is opened up for a width of twenty
five feet without locating the banging wall.
It may be traced for several hundred feet
across the ground from north to south and
test pits have been put down at Intervals
of every fer hundred feet. Ore taken from
the face of the tunnel assays from $2.60 to
$5 a ton. free-milling, and gold may be ob
tained by pan test on any of the ore. The
ground is about to be sold and if the deal
goes through it will pass Into the hands of
men prepared to thoroughly develop It.
Developing- Hlddea Fortune.
Nick Treweek has been engaged as con
sulting engineer by the Hidden Fortune
Gold Mining company, and the operations
of the company In the future will be largely
under his direction.. Mr. Treweek was for
years mine foreman at the Homestake.

resigned his place with the Homestake
to become superintendent of the Clover
Leaf company when that concern pur
chased the Uncle Bam mine at Perry. The
Hidden Fortune company Is working In
three places, driving the Baltic and Hood
lebug tunnels, .and drifting with the ore
in the Spokane property. Plana have beea
decided upon tor the building of an ex
perimental cyanide plant on Dead wood
Gulch, a short distance above the mouth
of the Baltic tunnel.- The company bas
secured the Badger millalt and Intends
to obtain water by crosscuttlng on bed
rock. Jlirnlsnt wUx.ie jjf.lpo tons can
psclty, and la intended to . treat the ores
from the horizontal measure of the com
pany's' ground. Some of this ore Is of
exceptionally high grade and will be
shipped to smelters. There are thousands
of tons of low grade siliceous ore that will
supply such a plant for a long period. The
company already own a cyanide plant of
fifty-tons capacity and this will probably
also be used In milling the ore found near
.the surface. The building of the plant
on Dead wood gulch will not Interfere In
any way with the plana of the company to
ultimately erect a 200-stamp mill wl'h
1,000-ton cyanide annex, aa It will more
readily enable the company to arrive at
the most practical plan for handling the
ore satisfactorily with cyanide.
Ten of the new stamps hav been started
In the mill of the Clover Leaf Mining com
pany at the Uncle Sam mine, giving the
company thirty stamps In operation. The
shaft Is 620 feet deep, and the drift from
the 600-frot level Is over 100 feet lone,
running In the direction of the ore. The
mill Is being supplied with ore taken frcm
the 400-foot level, and there Is enough In
Ight to run a 200-stamp mill for several
years. The ledge la dipping away from
the shaft, and the drift on the lower level
will have to run about 400 feet to reach

WASHING JACKSONIAN LINEN
"oath Omaha Drnorrarr to Be
I.aaadered by (he Omaha
tie. .
A washing of dirty linen In the Jack-
onlan club promises to give the
admirers of that association of democrats
considerable chagrin shortly while lend
ing comfort to the unterrlfied braves of the
Douglas county democracy.
Th wasli day is caused by the alleged
action of certain members of the club.
which glories In the name of Old Hlekorv
at South Omaha during the municipal cam
paign whic h closed with the triumphal elec
tion of the republican candidate for mayor
and the defeat of all but one of the can
didates of the democrats for the school
board.
The peculiar thing about this inquisi
tion, which is to prove the guilt or In
nocence of a large number of South Omaha
members of the club, is that it was in
stituted two days before the last election
and ' that the members under suspicion
were being watched closely during tbst
day by a committee appointed by the presi
dent of the club on the preceding Sat
urday night.
The matter came up at the meeting of
March 29, on charges preferred by South
Omaha democrats, who complained to the
club that the late mayoralty candidate was
being bitterly opposed by some members
of the club. The resolutions recited this
fact and called for official Investigation.
The committee was appointed; the names
of this committee not mad public gen
erally and the Investigation begun. It was
expected that the committee would make
a report Saturday night, but no report was
forthcoming and it was then said that
It would probably be a month before It
would be made, as the committee desired
to be sure before bringing formal charges
of party disloyalty before the club.
Members -of the club will not give the
names of the persons under suspicion, but
say that It Is probable that several will
be disciplined.
"These so-called respectable democrat
are really doing more to injure the cause
of purity In politics than they fere doing
to help it," said prominent member of the
club, "and we must show them the error of
their way. In the first place when a man
not satisfactory to them I nominated ther
get out and make a fight at the polls. They
then become known a bolters and the
loyal members of the party, the majority
of whom stand for clean politics, have
o uie for them. From that time their
support 1 a weakness, and the men thev
champion are usually defeated. If thev
would fight their battles for respectable
politics In the party they might do some
good wbll they now do nothing but harm.
It I almost necessary that some shining
examples be made and I guess It will be
done."

OPINIONS ON RHODES' PLAN
Rdeeators Uenerally (oatmead the
Plan of the "oath Africa)
Magnate.
LONDON. April 'i Th Dally Telegraph
today announces that Emperor William and
President Roosevelt both received sn In
timation from the trustee of Mr. Rhodes'
estate as to what the will proposed before
that document was made public. The presi
dent and emperor both Intimated to the
trustee, according to the Telegraph, their
pleasure at the approval of the legacies la
friendly and gratified cablegrams.
The Dally Mall this morning gives the
opinion of some distinguished men con
cerning the Rhode' icholarshlps.
Mr. Moberly, canon of Chrlat Church col
lege, epok In eloquent praise of the plan.
It would, he said, bring picked men of the
best type of Americans, rather than the
wealthy Americans who had hitherto come
to Oxford mainly for social advantages.
Mr. Skene, bursar of Chrlct Church col
lege, said If the yearly allowance of 300
was merely for the university eemester It
would suffice to enable the scholar to
live romfortsbly, but If It was Intended
to Include vacation expenses, the bslance
left for the university would render It In
advisable that the beneficiary of the schol
arship come to Christ church.
Emphatic In Ills Prediction.
Dr. McOrath, the popular provost of
Queen's college, was emphatic in his pre
dictions of future good arising from Ox
ford from the Rhode' scholarships. He,
said he was particularly struck with the
wisdom of Mr. Rhodes In arranging that
the gradual operation of the plan spread
over three years
"It will give the scholars." said Dr.
MaGrath, "time to assimilate with the
mass, and it will prevent undue herding
with their own kin."
Although the scholars will enter as un
dergraduates, Dr. Magruder said that pos
sibly he would be quite willing If his col
leagues agreed, to place them In Queen's
college on a level with Queen' own schol
ars, provided the educational tests proved
adequate.
Dr. Esson of Merton. Prof. Smith, history
tutor of Balllol and the others all wel
corned th Idea most heartily.
The dean of New college said he coosld
ered 300 ample, even if the student bad
to maintain himself the year round, but be
said that Cecil Rhodes bad fallen Into the
same error aa most educational benefactors
in forgetting thnt the university needed an
endowment quite as much as the scholars.
Will GItc Oiford Good Athlete.
Canon Weldon of Westminster Abbev and
late bishop of Calcutta, also expressed ap
proval of Mr. Rhodes' plan.
Dr. Stcvensou of Exeter college said h
thought the plan would bring Oxford good
atnietcs and enable the university to
achieve tbe much desired oblect nf v.n.
quisntng Cambridge In athletics.
The Dally Chronicle also oubllahea the
opinion on tnis subject of Lord Strath
cona and Mount Roval. the Canadian Mn
commissioner in London, snd the Anstra
. -
llan agent general, all of whom concur In
Cecil Rhodes' splendid Idea. A member of
Oriel college approved Mr. Rhodes' ntin
especially as one likely to lead to other
Deneracttons. particularly from America
This opinion also referred to the fart that
Mr. Rhodes' plan would prove expensive to
tbe university, which he said was already
SOOT.
Effect Will Be Far-Rear bluer.
Th Times In an editorial on the recep
tion of Mr. Rhode' plan abroad says:
"It 1 unnecessary to discuss the Pol It
leal aspect of the scheme, aa' it indicated
Mr. Rhodes' aspirations for a better under
standing between England, America and
Germany, but It canaot be doubted that the
effect of the change on Oxford itself will
be far-reaching, and it la hoped Invigorat
ing. The influx of Americans and German
will tend to quicken tbe Intellectual life."
Owing to the absence of the most of tb
authoritative men from Oxford at the pres
ent moment, says the Times, it will be Im
possible to get aa expression of university
opinion on the subject now, but doubtlessly
tbe trustee have many important point to
decide under the large discretion left them.
The Time considers that if Lord Rose-
bery would accept the presidency of the
trust the decision would be generally wel
comed, and says that he Is by far tbe best
of the executors for that office.

HARVARD MAN UNDER PENALTY
Frans, First Baseman, Is Debarred
Oae Year for Profes
sionalism. CAMBRIDGE. Mass., April 7. O. G.
Frans. first baseman on the Harvard base
ball team last year, haa been declared In
eligible for the nine this year by the Har
vard Athletic committee on grounds of
professionalism. Since the Cutis affair In
foot ball last year, the members of Har
vard teams have been asked to consider
their records carefully in order that no
such state of affairs should again exist.
Frans wrote to the committee stating
that In the summer of lRVj he Dlaved on a
semi-professional team in- Wlnlleld, Kan.,
near his home. He played three weeks
and received about VX out of which he
paid his expenses. - The Wlntiem tennis
toured the country and, Fran spent more
than th $."6 he had received. This clears
him technically of rofeislonall8m, but
the Harvard committee has decided to
debar him from Harvard athletics for one
year. As was done In (he rase of the other
two summer base ball players, Story and
Murphy, this year will, count as one four-
piayintf years.
Fran is one of the leaders In Harvard
Youna Men's Christian association and
sings In the glee club. The loss of him
weakens the Harvard nine very much.

IN THE EYES OF OUTSIDERS
Llaeola School Ma'am Write Dowa
Her Observation la City
of Omaha.
A Lincoln achoolma'am ha discovered
Omaha. Bh got on th steam car a week
or so ago, and after traveling miles and
miles in an easterly direction finally got
off at a place where there were a lot of big
buildings and a lot of people moylng about,
and of this discovery she uttered her mind
to the extent of a column In a Lincoln pub
lication. To this she signed th nam
"(Mr.) Franct Prey."
Among her minor observations are these:
Things are on a larger aoale in Omaha than
In Lincoln. Tb garden ar larger; the
Icehouse are larger. She resumes:
They feed cattle by the hundreds snd
have a wonderful sheep ranch In hailing
distance of the city. here we have only
one kind of odor from our West Lincoln
yards, the different packing houses here
vie with each other as to strength and
variety. Everybody Is busy, not In a com
fortable, easy way, but with a rush. Where
we have one saloon they have whole streets
of them. They tell me If I am in any doubt
as to what business is In a building I am
aafe In calling It a saloon and letting It go
at that. Old landmarks are plentiful yet,
though new house are crowding out li
old, but It will b a long time at tbe prev
ent rat before this will be called a beauti
ful city.
There I plenty of enterprise and music,
and food achouls, but ail these we hav at
home. The most Impressive thin Is the
work, the working man anil his dinner pall,
onn after the t o'clock whistle blows they
pour out of the buildings, a perfect army
of them, compared to which our few work
em are unnotlceable. They add much to
the prosperity of this city and I can not
help wishing we had more of them.
There are some things down here thst Mil
mv soul with envy. Not the big building,
the stork yards, the odora or the saloons,
but their parks, which are even now beau
tiful, the sight of the bluffs, the rlvr
Itself, with Its groups of fishermen along
the banks. Its many boats drifting lastly
slong. Its blar trees hanging over the water,
whose boiling, surging, everchsnglng sur
faee gives life and plitures.jueness to the
whole scene. We may some time have
parks, we are young yet. and have room
to grow, but we can never, never have the
river.
STORY OF A BLIND MAN'S CHILD
Dtifblrr of aa Orajaa Grlader,
Utrlekea vrlth Satallpoi, Tell
Her Mmple Tale.
Marguerite Margery Blsdorf. aged 12.
daughter of John Blsdorf, the blind organ
grinder who has been a familiar figure on
the more frequented street of Omaha for
several month, was taken to tbe police
station at 9:30 Sunday night, where tt
was discovered that she had tbe smallpox.
She had gone to a restaurant for her sup
per when her condition first attracted at
tention. After Police Surgeon Borglnm ex
amined her he directed that she b sent to
the pesthouse, where she wa taken last
night in carriage.
Her quaint. Ingenious manner and frank
ness won much sympathy, and when she
burst Into tear and said her fatber waa at
the corner of Fourteenth and Douglas
streets with no one to take htm home, im
mediate interest waa taken In th man, who
is 60 year old. The little girl wa greatly
relieved when ahe learned her father knew
where she wa and all about her trouble,
and that be would be cared tor, too.
"Papa I very good to me," she said. "I
hare been going to tbe German Catholic
school on Douglas street. We live In room
No. 7 at Z18M North Sixteenth etreet. We
eat at restaurant. My mother live in
Watervllle, Ia., with one of my sister,
who Is married. I haven't seen her since
last November. I stay with papa and have
traveled a great deal. We were last in
Omaha when the exposition was here. I
don't remember Just now the city we wer
In before w came here this last time. We
were In Buffalo, N. Y., at the exposition
there, but they would not let papa stay, o
we left."
"How do you travel?" wa asked.
"Oh, we ride In the cars. Papa pay our
way. I remember we wer in Chicago for
good while. He always takes good care of
me and arrange ao that I can go to school,
or if I can't do that be gets a room some
where near nice people that I can visit. I
do not stay on the street with him, but I
like to help him get home. He Is away all
day unless the weather Is bad, and tome
time make as much aa 13 a day. He al
ways, when he is playing the organ, give
me money to get my meals, and when he
isn't playing the organ we eat together,
and I think that' nice."
"How did he lose his eyesight?"
"Papa Is a wagonmaker and the paint In
some way nearly made htm blind. No, he
Isn't altogether blind, but as be I doing
all he can to get his eye cured he must
not strain them. He every -day use medi

MAIL MEN WANT VISITORS
Omaha Letter Carrier Kot Pleased
with Official Route to
Desver,
The Omaha Letter Carrier' association
Is troubled over the action of the National
association In its selection of the official
route from Chicago to the national con
vention, which will be held this summer
In Denver. It was tbe expectation of the
local union to entertain the national of
ficers and tbe delegatea enroute to the
convention for a day In Omaha, but at the
last meeting of the executive committee
a line of road from Chicago to Denver
through Kansas City was designated a
the official route, and it is said that rate
very much reduced were granted by that
road.
The Omaha association at It meeting Sat
urday night appointed a committee to take
th matter up and an attempt will be made to
bring a number of delegates through Omaha
In spite of tbe official designation of the
Kansas City route. This committee will
try to secure rate equally low from th
Chicago-Omaha roads and then will aend
Invitations to all eastern and northeastern
associations, inviting tbem to visit tbl
city and spend one day enroute. By thl
mean they expect that many of tbe dele
gate will pas through Omaha and that
the local association will have an oppor
tunity to entertain them.

4 red of other regarding tb wonderful curative properties of Swamp-Root. I had a
lama back thro year ago before leaving North Dakota for the coast. Soon after my
arrival In tb Puget Sound country tt became very much worse. I felt certain that
tbe coast climate had given me aoute rheumatism and came to the conclusion that f
could not llv in thl climate. Later I bcam eonvlnced that what I really had wa
kidney trouble, aad that tb rheumatism waa due tc my kidney trouble. The Isme
ness In my back Increased rapidly and I had other symptoms which indicated that I
would aeon be proatratod unless I obtained relief quickly. Noticing your offer of a
ample bottl of Swamp-Root, free, I had a friend writ for one and began taking It
immediately. -Within tare weak th lameness In my back began to dlaappear.
During that fall and winter I took three one-dollar bottles of Swamp-Root with th
result that I became completely cured. I no longer have pain In my back and can
eaoarols violently without feeling any bad effects. I have recommended Swamp
Root to eeveral at my acquaintances who were similarly affected and without excep
tion they hav been greatly benefitted by Its us.

We have a good, old common-sense medicine for those
subject to malaria.
The sufferer from malaria is too apt to dose himself
with constantly increasing amounts of quinine, which,
while it gives relief, is very injurious to the system, as
all who have taken it to any considerable degree have
found out to their cost.
The way to cure malaria is to drive it out of the sys
temand at the same time to so strengthen and tone
yourself up that malaria will find you immune in the
future. The way to bring about this happy condition
of affairs is to take
Smith's Green Mountain Renovator,
EVERY SUFFERER FROM MALARIA SHOULD TRY IT.
IT IS POSITIVELY GUARANTEED.
This medicine is conceded by all who have taken it to
be the one sovereign .pure for this much dreaded dis
ease. This isn't a new medicine, although its name may be
new to you. On the contrary, it is very old, having
been for many years the standard medicine of Vermont,
where its home is. Now a company has taken hold of
it, appointed reliable agents throughoift the country
and placed it within the reach of everybody.
The poisons of malaria, when they once get into the
system, must be completely driven out before perma
nent relief can be hoped for. Smith's Green Mountain
Renovator never fails to do this if taken regularly and
persistently. All the noxious, poisonous, malarial taint
will be completely removed from the blood, and you
will be permanently cured. This is not only by far the
best way, but, in fact, the only way to cure malaria.
SMITH'S GREEN MOUNTAIN RENOVATOR
will not only drive out malaria, but it is a tonic, strength
builder and general cleanser and renovator of the entire
system.
We sell it with the strongest possible guarantee
your money back if you are not benefited.
