Washington, Jan. H. The supreme
eortrt today rendered o decision in tlio
ease of tlie ntute of Iowa against tho state
of Illinois to settle the boundary lino in
the Mississippi river. between the two
states. Nine bridges cross tlio river be

in order that cueli might tux only those
parte of tliom within their respective
boundaries. Iowa contended that the
boundary run through the middle of the
main body of the river, regardless of the
steamboat I'liniuii'I, and tlmt the
Measurement I taken ut the normal
tage of water. lllinoiH claimed the
jurisdiction of each stute ex tended to the

the opinion rendered toduy by Justice
Field, the court tukei the Illinois view of
the mutter, holding thut the true bound
ry is the middle of the main chunuol.
The court ordered a commission of three
to designate the line on each bridge, and
delineate tlio name on the map".
Cholera Thl Year.
Washington, Jon. 4. There la more
than a prospect of trouble yet from
holera in the United Hinted next year.
Two factors render the rituation serious.
One is the apiearanue oi fresh caiiea in
Hamburg;, atid the other the continued
prevalence of the disease in Utisaia.
Cireat care linn Imhmi taken to prevent
its gaining u foothold on this aide the
Atlantic. The speedy passage of a bill
giving clcurly defined ixjwers to make
precautionary regulation, with suflinieut
appropriation to make them effective,
is extremely desirable. Despite the
efforts to stop immigration from the iu
fected couutriea, the emigrants of those
countries are jKtrinteut in their efforts
to reach the United States. There is
also dungor of the cholera reaching the
United States from the Inland of Cuba,
been tae of the clone commercial inter
course between Cuba and Spaiu, und
other European ports. Regulations of
the circular of August li'th, regarding
the importation of rags, lias been en
forced, all reports to the contrary not
withstanding. Ilemoerate Control la Kansas.
Toi-cka, Kan., Jau. 3. The supreme
ourt a hearing arguments in the cases
brought against the state board of can
vassers by the populist central commit
tee, involving four seats in the legisla
ture. It is believed that the hearing
will not result in any change, except to
give Rosenthal, dom., the certificate of
election issued to Stubbs, rep., by an
undisputed clerical error. This leaves
the republicans one majority in the
house. On joint ballot the democrats
will hold the balance of power.
Double Murder and Kulcldo.

Baker City Dem. The road question
is being generally discussed by the
papers, and the general idea is that tlio
legislature should take, up the subject
and give the people of this state u whole
some law in tlio matter. Tho road
question is one in which every citisen
should take an active interest, for there
is nothing that figures more prominently
in the settlement and development of a
country than good roads.

Wasiii.vgtox, Jan. 5. Secretary of
State John W. Foster will lay down the
portfolio of state on February 1st, and
leave for Europe. His objective point
will be Paris, where the court of arbi
tration in the Behring sea controversy
will bold their sessions. Homo months
ago, before Mr. Foster was appointed to
succeed Mr. Blaine, the president had
selected him to represent tho United
States as special council liefore the court
of arbitration. It was expected after
Mr. Foster became secretary of state
that another gentleman would be chosen
as special counsel. The president, bow
ever, feels that Mr. Foster's experience
fits him especially to discharge the
duties of the place, and that at his Bug
geuiion Mr. Foster will leave the stPte
department in time to attend the first
meeting of the board. From the time of
his departure until the 4tb of March
next Mr. Wharton will discbarge the
duties of secretary, a work for which bis
long connection with the department
has admirably fitted him. Mr. Foster
will be accompanied to Europe by Mrs.
Foster, and after the court of arbitration
has closed its sittings the secretary and
his wife will travel on the continent for
some months, returning to the United
States some time during the coming
autumn.
May Cheapen Electricity.
Philadki.i'Iiia, Jan. 5. Special.
Two French scientists have recently dis
covered an entirely new property of
Faraday's disk, and the result may be
an important improvement in the dy
namo. It will be remembered that Far
aday discovered the principle of the
dynamo when he attached ono end of
the wire to the center of a copper disk
revolving between the poles of a magnet
and the other end at the circumference.
A current of electricity was thus pro
duced ou the wire, and this simple ex
periment resulted iu the commercial
dynamo. Instead of the Faraday disk,
the French scientists employ tin plates
of a certain constitution not made pub
lic. These plutes are composed, in the
direction of their thickness, of a very
magnetic and highly conducting metal,
and are so placed that the lines of force
of tiie field of the magnet are perpendic
ular to this direction of thickness. Thus
it is suid, the flow of induction which
proceeds from the north pole of the mag
net is divided into several sheets of par
allel line, which are very cloee together
and v. iiii li only traverse the magnetic
portions of the bimetallic conductors.
The discoverers of this property con
structed a small machine employing this
principle, and it was found that the
available energy of the machine in
creases at a rato which is practically
projortionul to the height of the con
ductors. The results achieved are re
markable, and are believed to indicate a
valuable discovery of great commercial
importance.

St. Paul, Jan. 4. In joint session the
legislature listened to the address of re
tiring Governor Mcrriman and the in
augural address of Governor Nelson.

in public school text-books; suggests a
constitutional amendment for the taxa

press, purlor and sleeping car compan

j We would call attention to tho follow
I ing clipping cut from the Portland Tele
gram : "the immense amount of capi
tal at the command of the leading
Building and Loan Associations is a
proof of the popularity of these co-operative
savings banks. The promptness
with w hich some of the leading National
Associations grant loans on approved
security is remarkable. An Instance of
this promptness was given the other day
by tho New England National Building,
Loan and Invcttment Association. An
application for a loan of $17,050 was
made at S p. ra. ; at 5 the loan had been
pasted upon and approved and property
appraised. The next morning at 0 the
mortgage for the amount applied for was
duly executed and filed for record. What
makes this bit of news particularly in
teresting is that the New England is a
home institution. The Telegram was
able to secure a glance at the annual re
port of this association, though it has
not yet been published, and we would
say that it sets forth a wonderfully pros
perous state of affairs." It would be a
good thing we should think if one of our
citizen received the agency for this
company here at home.
After The Detective.
Washington, Jau. 4. Senator Chand
ler introduced a bill today making it un
lawful for any body of men numbering
10 or more to assemble, drill . or bear
arms as a military body unices called for
by the properly authorized civil or mili
tary officers. It makes it the duty of the
president to disband and disperse any
such organization. This bill is aimed at
the Pinkertons and semi-military anar
chist organizations. Senator Chandler
also introduced a bill to restrict immi
gration. It designates four new classes
of excluded persons, provides for infor
mation regarding immigrants, the issue
of certificates by a United States consul,
requirement for more cubic space for im
migrants aboard vessels, and a new
naturalization clause requiring f0 days'
notice of the application.

Toi'kka, Kan., Jan. 4. Th supreme
court this morning decided two of the
four legislative contests argued yester
day, one in Jackson county, the other
in Republic county, both against the
populists.. A further hearing will be
had in the two other cases. If James
.Vilson, independent republican, will
act with the party, the republicans can
organize the house, even if one of the
undecided cases go against them. The
republicans claim he will do so.

Mr. Villard is the latest democrat to
make application for membership in the
society of gentlemen who don't want

not think entirely of himself j he should
give some thought to his railroad and
its stockholders. Nobody would I so
glad to see Mr. Villard in the Cleveland
cabinet as the stockholders of his road,
whose property has been depreciating
since Mr. Villard again took control.

8peviitl to T ii ( ii Knmri.it. I
Ciiu .u.o, Jan. 5. It is said there is
the substance of fact in the story which
comes from Spokane resjiectiug the
whereabouts of William B. Tascott
wanted in this city for the murder of
millionaire Snell. Full particulars have
been sent for, and the narrative Is sub
stantially this, as told by Jules Beauvais,
a well-known and reliable mining man,
now in Spokane from the Slocan coun
try, where he is developing some fine
properties. Last summer he was pros
pecting in Alaska, and states with
every indication of truthfulness that in
Sitka, Juneau and other places he saw
and conversed with William B. Tascott,
who is accused of the murder of Snell,
the Chicago millionaire. "I knew him
in Chicago," said Mr. Beauvais, "and I
can not possibly be mistaken. He has
changed very little in appearance, only
he is slightly more rugged now and
shows some signs of dissipation." Mr.
Beauvais related further that Tascott
has been in Alaska nearly all the time
since the murder, and makes no pre
tense of concealing his identity. He
has made a little money at times pros
pecting and dabbling in mining proper
ties, but during the past summer he
was hard np and drinking heavily. Mr.
Beauvais gave him money on several
occasions, Tascott stating that the mys
tery of the murder will soon be cleared
up 2nd then he will have plenty of
money. He dislikes to talk about the
murder, but when questioned on the
subject answers without hesitation, but
quickly changes the drift of conversa
tion into other channels. The theory
prevailing in Alaska is that Tascott did
not kill Snell, but that the murder was
perpetrated by some one of wealth and
influence, and he having been of a ro
mantic and adventurous disposition ac
cepted a bribe to take upon bis own
shoulders the odium of another's crime.
An officer will be sent to Alaska from
Portland to bring Tascott to Oregon,
where an officer from this city will meet
them and bring the prisoner here for a
trial, which may prove to be the greatest
sensation of modern times. Detective
Dyer, who probably knows more than
anybody else regarding the murder of
Snell, says the real murderer hired
Tascott to go with him to rob the Snell
residence ; that Snell heard them and
came down-stairs, and that the man
mentioned killed him. Tascott, he de
clares, could have been arrested many
times over if he really was wanted.
Fond Hopes Itenllaed.
Si'KiNorixi.D, III., Jan. 4. The 38th
general assembly of Illinois convened at
noon. Long before the hour of meeting
the galleries of both houses were crowded
with spectators. Among the visitors
were many prominent leaders of both
parties, but the most conspicuous in the
throng were a dozen or more veteran
democrats, who came from all parts of
the state to witness the realization of
their dreams for a quarter of a century,
the opening of an ussembly democratic
in both brunches, with a democratic
executive at their back. Caleb Johnson
was chosen temporary speaker. Clay
ton E. Crofts, dem., was elected perma
nent speaker. Senator Coppinger was
chosen president of the senate pro tern.
The weekly meeting of the small and
early dancing club was well attended
last evening. The first part of the eve
ning is given to lessons in dancing, and
after that, dancing for the remaining
part of the evening. Miss Mason is a
competent instructor and is having good
success with her classes.
N. B. l-aruiour, an active miner of
Gilliam county, has located a coal dis
covery on Camas creek, between Camas
prairie and North Fork, which he is con
fident will prove a big thing. He said
nothing about what he had found for a
time, but quietly sacked fifteen or
twenty pounds of the black-looking rock
and took it to Portland. It was there
analyzed and pronounced anthracite
coal. Mr. Lariniore hurried back and
located two sections of land, claims being
taken by himself and seven Portland
parties. He says that the substance
seems unlimited in extent. There is an
immense vein, thirty feet thick, and
croppings can be traced for a distance of
2,000 feet. Other parties have seen it
but paid no attention to it. The find
will be developed as soon as favorable
weather permits.

Boaid or Equalisation Concludes Work.
The State Board of Equalization rec
ommend that the legislature change the
assessment law so as to abolish the
present five-mill school tax, now re
quired of the county courts to be levied,,
and enact a clause for a pro rata, ac
cording to the number of school children
of school age in the county. This is a
wise recommendation, and will no doubt
be readily endorsed by the taxpayers)
throughout tho state. They also ask
that the indebtedness clause be stricken
out, and that the mortgage tax law b
repealed.
The result of the board's work is seen

are a new world created from the brain
of a skillful physician a discovery the
"Golden Medical Discovery."
Years ago Dr. Pierce found out that
the seeret of scrofula, bronchial, throat
and lung trouble lay iu the beginning
at least in impure blood and the weak
tone of the system ; that tho way to cure
these effects was to remove the cause,
that, human nature being the same, the
same results might be looked for iu nearly
all cases. So confident was he that the
exceptions were uncommon that he took
the risk of giving the medicine to those
it didn't benefit for nothing, and the re
sults have proved that he was right.
And "Golden Medical Discovery" Is
tlie remedy for the million ! The only
guarantffd Liver, Blood and Lung rem
edy. Your money back It it doesn't
help you.
Mr. H. C. Kooper of Antelope is in
