The Iowa Fremont association, with

a proposal to compensate Mrs. Jessie Ben
ton Fremont for land taken from her many
years ago. The land was a thlrteen-acre
tract In San Francisco, taken for use of
the government as a fortification, and the
Fremonts were never given any pay there
for. In view of the fact that Mrs. Fre
mont is old and incapacitated and living
quietly In LosAngeles, a movement has
been started to have the government pay
her for the land. Members of the Iowa
delegation In congress have written ex
pressing great Interest in the case and
promising their assistance. They havo be
come convinced that the claim against the
government Is a good one and she ought to
be paid.

HOLD PEACE CONFERENCE
Leader of BOers Confers with Kltch-
ner and Mllner, Who Make
Liberal Promises,
LONDON, May 12. The Times this morn
lng relates the course of the peacs ne
gotiations as follows:
On receipt of the Dutch correspondence,
Intimating that Great Britain was ready
to listen to proposals from the Boers In
the Held, Acting President of the Trans
vsal Sctalkburgher came to the lines and
"o permission to consult witn air. oieyn,
"w preeiaem 01 me ur.nj. rin
This led to the Boer delegates going to
Pretoria.
Their first proposal to Lord Kitchener
ana ira Miiner. tns uriwsn nign commis.
slooer in South Africa, was that the re-
puoiics snouia merely concede ail the ae.
mands made by Orsat Britain regarding the
franchise, etc., before the war.
The government In reply referred them
to Mlddleberg conference ss ths maximum
of possible concessions and refussd per
mission to the Boers to consult their
friends in Europe.
Eventually while refuslna an armistice.
Lord Kitchener undertook not to molest
tne Durgijers while they were sctually hold
ig meetings with the commanders to au-
thorlse the leaders to negotiate on ths
bMU of dependence, but they were told
,t was UMleM t0 return to Pretoria with-
out being armed with full power to ne-
fotlate Mf Bcna,kburgnef. 8ented to
this, but Mr. Steyn's acquiescence seemed
doubtful.
Mall advices from Pretoria, continues
the Times, declare that Lords Kitchener
and Mllner promised generous compensa
tion tor burned farms, raised no difficulty
with regard to the pardon of banished
leaders and gave assuranoes that the ques-
"on ot amnesty for rebels did not present
msuperanie oimcuiues
The Times in an editorial on this fea
ture, is not hopeful that peace will be the
outcome, and fears that the election of a
member of Parliament for Bury, Lancash
ire, will influence the Boers to further re
sistance.
In the election for Bury, announced from
London yesterday, George Toulmln, lib
eral, secured a majority of 414 votes. At
the last election in Bury, in 1900, the con
servative majority in the district was 195.

Result of Es-ballot in Franca Strengthens
Present Majority.
MINISTERIALISTS GAIN NINE SEATS
Dreyfns Champion Meets Defeat In
Basses Alps Voting; Vnnsnally
Heavy with Scarcity of
Disturbances.
PARIS, May 11. The result of 18 re-
ballnts out ot a total of 174 show that 128
ministerialists and forty anti-mlnlsterial-Ists
have been elected.
The ministerialists gain nine seats in the
chamber as a result of the reballotlng. The
government majority Is materially strength
ened. Ths Dreyfus champion, Joseph Relnacb,
republican, whose reappearance In political
life was one of the features of the elections.

Department of Basses-Alps.
Ths Parisians In tboss municipal dis
tricts where reballotlng was held today for
the election of members of the Chamber ot
Deputies crowded early to the polls and
voted quickly. They thea proceeded to
profit by the beautiful weather and enjoy
themselves In tbelr customary Sunday
manner.
The voting was unsually heavy and there
was much animation In some districts, espe-
ally In the Twelfth, where the nationalists
concentrated their forces In an effort to de
feat the re-election by reballot ot M. Mll-
lerand, the minister of commerce. The na
tionalists failed, as M. Mlllerand secured a
small majority.
Throughout the evening the boulevards
and the streets In the vicinity ot the news
paper offices, where the returns were bul-
etlned, were so crowded that traffic had to
be suspended. The excitement continued
until a late hour tonight. The police and
the Garde Republlcalne kept the people
moving, but the crowd was good-natured
and orderly.
Onu Disturbance In Paris.
There was but one disturbance. This
occurred at a voting place In the Rue La
Cordalre, after the polls were closed. M.
Thlebaud, a defeated nationalist candidate,
was Injured.
The deputies elected Include M. Clevis
Huegues, the poet socialist, while Mmea.
Vlvianl and Allemane, - socialists, are de
feated. The reports Indicate that the reballot
has been favorable to the government, as
half the ministerialists. Including M.
Leyges, the minister of public Instruction;
M. Brusson and Jules SIgfrled, former min
ister ot commerce, were elected.
M. Paschal Groutet, ministerialist, a re
tiring deputy, who was re-elected In Parts,
died of apoplexy this evening. M. Lortorls,
liberal republican, who was elected at
Lille, died shortly before the polls closed.
All the antl-mlnlstsrlallsts in Algeria
were defeated.
The only serious election disturbance re
ported occurred at Marseilles, where the
quarters of ths fusion committee were
mobbed. Windows were smashed and pis
tols were discharged. Nobody was injured
and soms arrests wers made.
NO CLEAN MONEY IS OIL BELT.
Silver Coins Turned Black hy Fumes
from Texas Wells.
Money Is curiously colored In the oil
region." said a gentleman from Beaumont
quoted by the New Orleans Times-Demo
crat, 'and during my recent experience in
the Texas city I could not really tell
whether I was getting good money or bad
half the time. The appearance of the sil
ver In circulation In and around Beaumont
was a revelation to me, but, ot course, men
who have been in oil regions before, where
the very air Is flUod with gas, knew Just
why It was. Shiny dollars are really very
rare now in the Texas oil belt. The black
oxidized dollar lc the rule. Tho dimes,
quarters and halves are black. It Is mar
velous how quickly the silver will become
oxidized.
I was talking to one of the men who was
actively engaged In working at one of the
wells, and Just for my benefit be made
little experiment. He searched around until
he got a new looking dollar, one that bad
ust arrived and bod not bad time to be af
fected by the oil and gas of the place. He
put the dollar In his pocket and went to
work at one of the manholes. He did not
remain there a great while.
When he returned be pulled out the dol-
ar and handed It to me for inspection. It
was black enough, and it had not got out
of his pocket until he gave it back to me.
The gas simply permeated ths man's clothes,
got Into' his pocket, and when It struck ths
liver the necessary chemical processes
were set in motion to leave the dollar col
ored. All the silver' which has been at
Beaumont for any length of time Is In this
condition, and ths man who would draw the
color line on the dollars In the Texas oil
belt would simply be unable to do busi
ness."

PROFITS in RAISI50 TREKS.
Forestry Experts Point to the Tele
straph and Cross-Tie Market.
It has been estimated, says the New
York Sun, that the telegraph lines of the
coun'ry require nearly 600.000 new poles
every year. The cost of these lc more
than $1,000,000.
It Is also estimated that there are more
than 620,000.000 rrosstlec In use by the
railroads end that 80,000,000 ties are re
quired every year for renewals.
The telephone end light companies use
nearly as many polec as the telegraph
companies, and the street car aystems of
the cities use nearly as many erosstles ca
the steam railroads.
To awaken the farraerc of the west to
the need of raising plantations of wood
to supply these needs ot telegraph, tele
phone and railroad companies, the forestry
division ot the Agricultural department has
Issued a bulletin to chow that such work
Is profitable.
The prices of pole end tls timber have
gone up nearly 60 per cent In the last ten
years. J. Hope Sutor of the Ohio Little
Kanawha railroad, an expert on the tie
question, told the Central Association or
Railroad Officers in Louisville a year ago
that In ten years more the prices of ties
would be 60 per rent greater than at pres
ent. He also said:
"No material has yet been found aa a
substitute for the wooden tie. and no
satisfactory economical method bf preserv
ing the life of the wood or prolonging
Its durability has yet been discovered, and,
excepting the minor questions of properly
seasoning and piling, the use of the tie
plate, suitable ballast and perfect drainage,
and incidentally climatic conditions, no se
rious consideration of the future tie cup
ply has yet been had."
It lc for thla reason Oe cxperta say:
"From every reasonable point of view It
appears that great profits are to be made.
In the growing of forest trees in the next
twenty-five years."
It Is declared that operations should
begin In the middle west. There has al
ready been a great deal of tree planting
on the treeless prairies of the central west,
especially In Kansas and Nebraska. The
forestry experts have found one planta
tion near Hutchinson, Kan., planted with
catalpa trees, which In ten years hac pro
duced a net value of $197.66 to the acre.
In Iowa, near Menlo a 26-year-old plan
tation of red cedar showed a net value
ot $300.64 to the acre. Osage orange, lo
cust and hardy catalpa are the best trceo
to grow for these commercial purpocec.
THE HEAVIEST LOCOMOTIVE.
First of si Bunch of Leviathans on the
Santa Fe.
There was received at ths Chicago shops
of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe sys
tem during the early part of tbp past week
the first of a large order given the Amer
ican Locomotive company for unusually
heavy locomotives designed tor service on
the mountain division of that line. The de
sign is a conception of Third Vice Presi
dent Kendrlck of the Santa Fe, who be
lieves that this type ot engine represents
the solution of the problem of Increased
tralnload capacity of that portion of the
line on which It Is to be operated. The lo
comotive Is by many tone the heaviest yet
constructed and yil be immediately tested
on the mountain division. The road con
templates having seventy-four additional
engines of this design built by the Amer
ican Locomotive company. The engine Is
guaranteed to haul a load of 2.100 tone up
a fifty-foot grade. The rigid wheel bass Is
twenty feet and It weighs within seven and
one-half tons as much as the next largest
engine and tender, tender loaded, or 187H
tone. On the drivers there lc a weight of
230,000 pounds, or 115 tons. The type is
the decapod, with ten drivers, and the
Santa Fe officials will have to construct a
specially designed roundhouse to accom
modate the new engines. To the top of the
stack the height Is fifteen feet, and to the
top of the boiler twelve feet seven and a
half inches. The heaviest engine now doing
mountain work for the Santa Fe has a
weight of 163,000 poundc on the drivers, and
a number of engines arc being built for the
company, which will have a weight of 191,
000 poundc on the drlverc
LIGHTNING KILLS TOO A TEAR.
Moat of the Killed Struck Down In
tho Open.
From 700 to 800 persons are killed annually
by lightning In the United States, accord
ing to estimates made by Alfred J. Henry
of the United States weather bureau. In
1900 the bureau received reports of 713 cases
of fatal lightning strokes.
In the same year, according to the re
ports collected by the weather bureau, 97
Siersons were more or less seriously In
ured by lightning. The loss of life from
ightnlng is greatest In the Ohio valley and
the middle Atlantic states. If density of
population only be considered It is greatest
In the upper Missouri valley and in the
middle Rocky mountain region.
Of the 718 fatal cases reported In 1900 291
persons were killed In the open, 1B8 In
nouses, fifty-seven under trees and fifty
six In barns. The circumstances attend
ing the death of the remaining 151 were not
reported. This seems to dispose of the old
superstition that the safest place b be In
during a thunderstorm Is the open country
and
the most dangerous under a tree.

Stomach and brain affect each other. A aick stomach soars the disposition and pro

Men of sedentary habits, brain workers who don't get much exercise, have sick stom
