NEW YORK. Nov. 18. When 'the hear
ing was resumed today in the case of
llnnesota vs. the Northern Securities
jmnany. E. T. Nichols, secretary and
reasurer of the Northern Securities
JomDanv. was called to the stand. He
said that Abraham H. Hyatt, Richard
rremble and Georce F. Baker, Jr., or-
inized the company. He did not Know i
vhetner J. P. Morgan & jo. was em-
aloved bv the securities company to pur
chase the Harriman interests in the
Northern Pacific Company, but he said
the securities company borrowed about
3,000,000 from Morgan & Co.
"We acauired S41.OS5.000 of Northern Pa
cific preferred stock," said Mr. Nichols,
ind $37,000,000 of common stock by giving
K2.-J91.S71 in Northern Securities stock
md $8,915,629 in cash."
'Did not the Northern Securities Com
pany receive nearly $50,000,000 of Grea
forthern stock in its own name.beiore
,-ou discussed the advisability of receiving
iny further deliveries in the name of
trustees?"
'I don't remember the amount I sug
gested that some of the stock should
stand in the name of trustees In case I
leeded any of It for collateral.'"
Mr. Nichols said he selected, the trus
tees. Most of them are clerks in his
jffice. He promised to send the names
the examiner for record. His company
wns in all between 500,000 and C00.O00
chares of the Great Northern Railway
Company. Three or four hundred of those
shares are In the name of the trustees
whom he spoke.
Replying to other questions, Mr. Nichols
said no annual statement of the Northern
securities Company had been completed,
md no financial statement Js being pre-
lared.
Colonel Clough, director of the North
ern Securities, was put on the stand after
loon. Counsel for the State of Minnesota
ranted the record to show that the direct
ors of the Northern Securities authorized
le purchase of Northern Pacific stock
it $115 a share in stock of the Northern
Securities Company. Mr. Clough was
isked if he had noticed that at the rate
if $115 a share the company had paid
h7,446,650 more than necessary. , Mr. Clough
said he had not compiled the figures, but
that the Northern Securities Company
ras very anxious to get the stock at the
irice settled upon.
Witness was asked if the parties in In
terest acquired the St. " Peter Company
tharter of Minnesota to use it as a hold
ing company. Mr. Clough replied that he
selleved it was considered in the Spring
f 1901, but denied that to his knowledge
J. Hill acquired it in the name of his
Associates of the Northern Securities Com-
3any. Mr. Clough said that the Northern
Securities Company would have preferred
territorial charter, which was beyond
my danger of alteration by the Legisla
ture. AVhen asked if the Securities Com-
jany had been incorporated in New Jer
sey because of fear that tire company
jould not operate under a territorial char
ter, in defiance of the Minnesota state
law, "witness replied:
"Not entirely. We never doubted the
legality of cur corporation, nor the pur
poses of the company."
Mr. Clough said the Northern Secur
ities Company holds more than $150,000,-
of the $155,000,000 common stock of the
Jorthern Pacific Railway Company.
"How much acquired since December 11
jf last year now stands in the name of
the company?" was asked.
"None," replied the witness. "It is held
in trust or by trustees."
'Your company is capitalized at $400,000,
)"' ,
"Yes, sl."
"DM you calculate in fixing that sum
that it would cost a few thousand dollars
less than $400,000,000 to secure all the Great
Northern stocks at $1S0. and all the Iorth-
?cn Pacific stock at $115?"
'I have not made the computation. The
Igures must speak for themselves."
The examination of Mr. Clough was not
completed when the hearing was 'ad
journed until tomorrow.
A subpena has been issued for E. H.
larriman. but word was received from
lis secretary today that Mr. Harrlman

A MAN IN THE CASE.
One Woman Stab Another to Death
and Escapes.
ROCHESTER, NY., Nov. 18. Miss
Florence McFarland, aged 21. years, a
music teacher, was stabbed to death in
her father's house here today by another
woman, and an hour later Mra Lula
Young, wife of Frank Young, at one time
city purchasing agent, was arrested as
being the supposed murderer. The wo
man who committed the deed rang the
door bell of the McFarland home, and
when Miss McFarland answered attacked
her with a knife. Miss McFarland ran
screaming through the hall into the
kitchen, closely pursued by her assailant.
In the kitchen she stumbled, half turn
ing. In a flash her pursuer was upon
her and stabbed' her five times. Miss Mc
Farland sank to the floor, dying instantly.'
The murderess fled. The only words she
was heard to utter were:
"She has come between myself and
my husband, and I'm glad she's dead."
The dead woman was the daughter of a
railroad man. She was a person of re
finement and good appearance. Mrs.
Young made no statement after her ar
rest. Lulu Miller Young, 28 years old, who
killed Florence Jessica McFarlin this
morning, maintained an air of indiffer
ence today, but tonight is on the verge of
collapse. All of the facts brought out by
the District Attorney and the police in the
examination that followed the tragedy
point to jealousy as a motive.
The autopsy performed showed that the
two women struggled before Miss Mc
Farlin surrendered. -The palms of both
the latter's hands were cut as If by a
curved knife, and the wounds were caused
by Miss McFarlin grasping the blade of
the weapon.

COAST FISH HATCHERIES
A'OT SUCH A SUCCESS THIS TEAR
AS WAS EXPECTED.
On CoQuille River No Salmon Eggs
Were Obtained Few at Yarjruina
and Alsca.
ASTORIA, Nov. IS. (SpecIal.)Deputy
Fish Warden Webster returned last even
ing from 'the rivers down he Oregon
Coast, where he has been during the past
two months. He says the hatchery work
at those places has not been the success
this season that was expected, with the
exception of the Coos River plant. The
great difficulty was that there was no
freshet in the rivers in the" early part of
October, as Is usual, and as a consequence
the fish stayed In tide water. When the
freshets did come they were so strong
that the majority of the racks were car
ried away. On the Coquille River no
eggs were secured. Logging operations
are carried on throughout nearly the
whole length of this stream and no hatch
ery site could be found except near the
headwaters, where the current is swift
and 111 adapted for the purpose. On Coos
River over 3,500,000 eggs were taken, on
Siuslaw about 5O0.CO0, but at Yaqulna and
Als'ea little was accomplished. At'Rogue
River the state has no hatchery, but the
Government maintains a plant as does
Hume, the canneryman. About 4,000,000
eggs were taken there this year.
SOUTHERN OREGON LIME.
Product of DouRlns County Quarry
Equal to the Rest.
GRANT'S PASS, Nov. 18. A new in
dustry that promises much importance,
and behind which is local and Portland
capital. Is the mining and preparing of
lime from the large quarries of Nllllams
district, 20 miles, south of Grant's Pass.
The lime Is found in connection with a
vast marble ledge, and besides taking out
the lime, the- operators are alfio engaged
in blasting off the marble. While the lime
kiln Is yet a new affair, it already has a
capacity of "400 bushels per day. The
product Is easily disposed of as fast as It
Is prepared. Masons, plasterers and others
who have used It pronounce it as good,
or better, than any lime shipped in from
the East. Many claim that it is superior
to the celebrated Roche Harbor lime, as
it makes a finer and whiter finish. As it
is produced here at home, It can be
bought at a far lower price than the low
est grade Eastern lime.
Shops for the making of barrels have
been put In at the -mines and a good
wagon road has been built Into the dis
trict from the main highway. In the
quarry every shade and color of marble
Is found. It takes a smooth polish and
will compare favorably with any Eastern
or European product. The mdrble -lies
In a huge ledge from 500 to 700 feet In
width, and occurs in high cliffs making it
easy and convenient to work. It can be
blasted off from -the edge in any size
slab desired. The only feature that has
kept these marble quarries in the back
ground has been their inaccessibility and
cost of transporting the rock to market.
Many claims have been located in the dis
trict recently, one company having been
organized and taken possession of the
Great Oregon Caves, which are them
selves by a tast honeycomb of limestone.
Placer Miners Welcome Rain.
GRANT'S PASS, Nov. 18. (Special.)
The heavy rains continue to fall without
abatement, an.d over two-thirds of the
placer mines of Josephine County now
have water sufficient to start up their
giants. Old miners claim that they have
never before known the rains to begin
so early and hold up with such vengeance
as they are doing this year. All of the
placer diggers expect to- get In a longer
season of work, and get out more gold
this season than they have done for many
years.
Four-Stamp Mill Installed.
GRANT'S PASS, Nov. 18. A four-stamp
mill has arrived for the Kramer quartz
mine, of the Mount Reuben district, and
will be transported and Installed at the
property at once.
COOK OUT FOR MAYOR.
Would Be Oregon City's Chief Ex
ecutive Other Aspirants.
OREGON CITY, Nov. 18. (Special.)
John J. Cooke, for four years Sheriff of
Clackamas County, this morning an
nounced his Intention of becoming a can
didate for Mayor at the city election to
be held a week from next Monday. It is
likely that tomorrow arrangements will
be made to hold a convention during the
latter part of this week, when Mr. Cooke
will be nominated Mayor and with him
three Councllmen and a City Treasurer.
Opposed to ex-Sheriff Cooke is Mayor
Grant B. Dlmlck, who Is a candidate for
a third term, and who Is confident of re
election. At this time the consensus of
opinion seems to go the way of Mayor
Dlmlck. At the last election he beat his
opponent by over two votes to one, and
he Is exceedingly popular among the men
in the mills, whose vote's really control
the Oregon City elections. Probably his
popularity, coupled with the fact that
he was an avowed candidate for re-elec
tion, had much to do with the refusal of.
the union men to place a labor union
ticket In the field. Mr. Cooke has the
reputation of being a fighter, and when
he ran for Sheriff the second time had an
overwhelming plurality. Councilman
Koerner, of the First Ward, today filed
with City Recorder Curry a petition with
42 names attached asking him to become
a candidate. Walter Little, of the First
Ward, would also like to represent his
ward In the Council for three years, and
Frank McGInnls Is also mentioned. In
the Second Ward no candidates have so
far appeared against Charles Albright,
who will serve again, and In the Third
Ward C. M. Mason seems to be the most
formidable candidate to succeed Council
man Samuel Francis. No opposition has
yet developed to City Treasurer Fred J.
Meyer. The petition, which has been in
circulation for the past week, asking
Mayor Dlmlck to serve again, contains
446 names, and the Mayor looks upon this
Indorsement as a sure barometer of his
success.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 18.-F. P. Sar
gent, Commissioner-General of Immigra
tion, who came here a few days ago to

Governor-Elect Sparks,, of Nevada, to
Work for Pardon.
BOISE, Idaho, Novi. 18. (Special.) John
Sp'arks, Governor-elect of Nevada, Is here
in the interest of "Diamond Field" Jack
Davis, who was formerly in his employ,
and whose case has occupied a place In
the public mind for five and a half years.
Davis was sentenced to death for the
murder of John C. Wilson and Daniel C.
Cummlngs, sheepmen, In Cassia County,
in 1S9S, his conviction .'having been secured
In April. 1897. Since then there has been
a determined fight to save him, the case
being one of the most remarkable in the
criminal annals of the West. After every
thing had failed, two men came forward
claiming they did the killing in self-defense.
One of them was put on trial and
acquitted.
Mr. Sparks himself told the Governor
in support of the plea for clemency that
J. E. Bowers, one of the superintendents,
who. it was claimed, was connected with
the killing, told him the story a few days
after the tragedy, but that It was deemed
best to keep it secret. The former ad
ministration refused to interfere, but the
present one commuted the sentence to life
imprisonment. Nof a further coramuta-,
tion or a dlrectpardon is sought.
HARD TRIPS DOWN COAST.
Dark Reported In Distress Off Shelter
Cove.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IS. Southeast
gales and Immensely high and rough sea,
made the trip of the United States Sur
vey steamer Gedney from Puget Sound
an arduous undertaking. The vessel ar
rived in port today, six days from Port
Angeles, and Captain DIckins reported
that at times the engines of the Gedney
were barely able to hold her head to the
terrific gales. After rounding Cape Flat
tery the brunt of the weather was experi
enced. For four days the little steamer
battled against the tremendous seas and
was frequently engulfed before reaching
Cape Blanco. On November 17, 20 miles
southwest of Shelter Cove, the Gedney
sighted a large unknown bark standing
in shore on the starboard tack. The bark
was flying signals of distress, which could
not be made out on account of passing
squalls, and her wants could not there
fore be ascertained.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
City of Puebla arrived today, 63 hours
from "Victoria. She encountered head
winds and heavy seas all the way down
the coast. Her decks were awash from
the time she rounded Flattery until she

kane police he was a high liver, and his
money went fast; hence it was necessary
to do a llttie rough, gambling.

with the back cut out. It was then re
membered that Saturday night, October 31,
a house pf ill-fame in the lowen part of

the inmates of the place with drawn re
volvers. It is believed young Corbett and
his pal were the perpetrators of the Ken
drlck outrage.
FORT STEPHENS CASE.
Nothing: Done With Soldiers Arrested
on Incendiary Charge.
ASTORIA, Nov. IS. (Special.) Other
than the bare fact that two enlisted men
are in custody at Fort Stevens very little
of a reliable nature can be learned either

a trial. According to the best informa
tion obtainable no one at the post is con
versant with the facts In the case, ex
cepting Major Humphries, the command

ago from Fort Canby, where he is sta
tioned, and after filling up with whisky

his act. This is the second time the man
has been arrested on similar charges.

Of Suffering From
Heart Disease. '
I Vould Not be Alive
Today
But For Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure.
Do not neglect the warning symptoms of a
weak heart. Palpitation, smothering spells,
swelling of feet or ankles, pain in anu around
heart; oftentimes affectipns of the stomach,
lungs, liver, bladder, kidneys, etc., arise from
heart weakness. A weak 'heart mmt be
helped. It cannot stop to rest. It mwt be
strengthened and regulated. The blood must
be enriched, the heart nerves strengthened
and the circulation improved by the great
heart and blood tonic, Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure. There is positively nothing to equal
this wonderful medicine in its beneficial
influence upon hearts weakened from any
cause.
"I am very grateful for what Dr.. Miles
Heart Cure has done for rac, as I am confi
dent I would not be alive today had I not
learned of its wonderful virtues and taken it
before it was too late. I had been a sufferer
from valvular heart disease for many years,
in fact ever since 1 was a little girl and for
three years before I began using Heart Cure
I was in very bad shape. I could not s eep
on my left side at all and would frequently
have the most dreadful smothering spells.
At times my left side would swell up. I had
pain in my head all the time from which I
suffered greatly. Nothing I took did me
ar.y good until I used eleven bottles of Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure which removed all these
distressing symptoms and made me feel well
and strong." Mrs. H. C. Cruse, San Fran
