The situation could hardly be

"All the coffee plantations in the

Philadelphia, May 12. After
having been searched for for - six
days and almost given up as gone
forever, an express package con
taining $20,000 has been" found in
an iron pot beneath tbe floor of a
cellar. The money was stolen from
the United States Express Compa
ny last Wednesday and 50 detec
tives have been employed in trac
ing down the crime. . William
M urpby, an express meeseuger, has
been airested and charged with the
crime. Only $200 ' was " missing
from the original package. It is
thought the thief leared to use the
moneyand had buried it, hoping
that in time search would be aban
doned and he could then unearth
the treasure and enjoy jt without
danger of detection. , -1

securea ior a nome tor immigrants
from South Afsica. General Sny
man will await here tbe arrival of
bis family and General Viljoen will
tail for South Africa Mav 17 to
conduct the first expedition to the
new country. r
"I expect," said General Viljoen,
''to bring 50 families immediately
and that others will follow soon.
Fully 1000 will join "the movement
to seek freedom on the American
continent. -The land secured by
us is a beautiful fertile strip known
as Santa Rosalie; in the state of
Chihuahua, and near Ortiz Station,
on the Mexican .Central railway.
Already men are at .work there
sewing com'. The new comers will
be landed at Very Cruz. We would
like to bring them to the United
States, but the immigration ' laws
are to t-trict to allow of that.
"We Boers are now practically a
people without a home, but we
hope to find one in the new coun
try. Our success in getting this
tract of land was in great jart due
to the assistance of President Diaz
and Mr. Li man tour, "the minister

Victoria, B. C, May 12. Accord
ing to mail advices received.' from
South China, hundreds are dying
in Kwaug Si Province a3 a result of
the famine there, r Correspondents
writing from several sections say
the destitution, suffering and death
is appalling. Whole families are
subsietiug on a few ounces, of rice
a day, or on roots and leaves. Mis
eiouaries are aidicg thousands dai
ly. The famine is causing the 're
bellion id that province to grow, for
the. poor are being driven to .vio
lence to obtain food. Women and
children are being sold by the fam
ine stricken people. ' '
Oregon, City, Or., May 6. The
present law of assessment and tax
ation and for the collection, of tax--s
does not give satisfaction in
Clackamas county. Sheriff Shaffer
has just about caught tip with the
work of receipting for : taxes paid
under the rebate plan on tbe 1902
taxroW, and turning the money ov
er to the county treasurer. It is
urged against the law now in force
that sufficient time is not given for
the payment of the taxes te- the
county. Another objection is the
plan of rebate. County Treasurer
Cahill insists that the rebate plan
is not a good one, aod a benefit on
ly to the rich man, . who, be says,
can pay bis taxes at any time he
desires while it rustles the poor
fellow to scrape' together enough'
money to pay even one-half of his
assessment at a time ' and escape
paying penalty andintereet charges.
With the operation of the rebate
system Mr." Cahill says it costs
Clackamas county considerable for
the extra clerical help that is re-,
quired in tbe sheriff's ' office to re
ceipts for the money within the
short space of time that the same
can be paid and give the taxpayers
the advantage of the discount.
Jersey City, May ; 13 Henry
Nichols, a well-known member of
the Jersey City Club, was taken
to a hospital on Monday, suffering
from blood poisoning, the result
of an injury to his right leg: La
ter he was informed that . the leg
must be amputated. The surgeons
found that the action of Mr. Nich
olas', heart would not warrant the
use of anaesthetics, and he was
obliged to submit to the operation
without them. After the leg had
been amputated below the knee, it
was found that gangrene extended
above the knee, and that a second
operation would be necessary. The
leg was then amputated , at the
thigh. Not once did the patient
lose consciousness.
Mr. Joseph Pominville of . Still
water, Mian., after having spent
over $2,000 with the best doctors
for stomach trouble, without relief,
was advised by. his druggist, Mr.
Alex. Richard, to try a box of
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets." He did so, and is a well
man today. If trouble with indi
gestion, bad taste in the mouth,
lack of appetite or constipation,
give these tablets a trial, and you
are certain to be more'than pleased
with the result. For sale at 25

Seattle, May 13. Captain Hen
ry Finch, in a wrecking s teamer
named for himself, started for a
Southeastern Alaska, this morning
00 a treasure-hunting vojage that
promises to turn out far more prof
itable than any recent attempts of
the kind.
He has on board the most mod
ern machinery designed for lifting '
heavy weights from the depths of
of the 88, and will make an at
tempt to recover the treasure car- '
goes of the sunken ship Colorado
and the steamer Islander. -
Laden with several i hundred
thousandfdollars worth of Klondike
gold, the Canadian Pacifr; Naviga
tion Company's fine steamer Mad
der, while en route from Skagway
to Victoria, about two- years ago
collided with an iceberg and sank.
After numerous attempts had
been made to locate the spot where
she foundered, Captain Finch lo
cated her last winter in 200 feet of
water' 12 miles this side of Juneau.
Tbe Colorado was wrecked on an
island not many miles south of
where the Islander lies, a little
more than a year ago. She was
laden with $15,000 worth of gold
concentrates 'from the Treadwell
mine on Douglas Island which she k:
was taking to a Tacoma smelter.
She now lies on the beach, . with,
the water barley washing over .her
upper works. ' '
Captain Finch intends not only . -to
secure the Islander's cargo, but ":
to lift the gold ore from the Colo
rado and carry it to its original
destination. About a dozen expert .
wreckers and divers will be em
ploded on board the Finch. ' It is ;
said that Captain Fincb, who is a
diver of 31 years ; experience, is
doing the work for an Eoglieh In
surance company.

Chicago, May 13. A dispatch
to the Tribune from New York says : ,
Raising an interesting question as
'to when life in auimals actually
becomes extinct, Dr. Robert C.
Kemp, who has been conducting
experiments here for two years, has ,
found it possible to restore a dog to ,
life . after its heart had stopped,
beating for 16 minutes. After an
examination the animal was offici
ally pronounced dead, ; yet Dr.
Kemp, be massaging his heart so
far brought it back to life that it ,
lived 24 hours, and meantime it
was so far restored to its faculties
that it ate and drank.
In 11 out of 23 experiments of
this character, Dr. Kemp has suc
ceeded in "restoring dogs to life,"
and he is convinced that in the case
of humun beings under similar con
ditions, the proportion of restora
tion would be geeater. In the case
of the dogs he ascribes their death,
after an interval of from two to .
three to 24 hours, not to failure of
his treatment but to the fact that
the dogs could " not be prevented .
from tearing away the bandages.
Only one such experiment has .
been tried on a human being,' and
in that case it was not successful
