THE QUE EX WANTS A BEST.
Too Many Babies for Queen Victoria's
Comfort.
London, Aug. 19. Queen Victoria
will go to Balmoral after the French en
tertainment. .. There is said to be some
doubt whether she will be accompanied
as. usual by the Battenburgs. Prince
Heiiry and Princess Beatrice are per
fectly willing to go, but the queen has of
late been very much ' annoyed by the
latest Battenburg baby, aged 2 years and
months. .This . baby is named
Prince Leopold, after -the queen's de
parted son, and like Leopold he is
already showing an alarming propensity
to fits. The queen thinks the infant
should remain in England to be doctored
ana that bis father and mother should
stay too. Battenburg wants to go to
Scotland and do some grouse shooting ;
as for .Beatrice, she also - wants to . go
with her mother, who has been her life
long companion. The truth is said to
be that the queen is tired ot the isaten
burg babies, of whom there are three
born in about as many years, and wants
a rest.
MORE BECIFBOIIF.
Still Better Arrangements Between Can
ada and This Country.
Washington, Aug. 19. For some time
Sir Julian Pauncefote has been anxiously
endeavoring to arrange a basis of nego-
tiation with Blaine with respect to the
reciprocity trade between Canada and
the United States, but with indifferent
success. Premier Abbott sent a secret
commission, a few weeks ag5, to make
an effort to establish entente cordiale.
This agent, when at Washington, sub
mitted Sir Julian Pauncefote's memor
andum, to the effect that the present
dominion government was willing to
to have a reciprocity trade with such
articles as are not imported into Canada
in large quantities irom Hingiand.
bir J uhan now feels in a position to
offer the United States reciprocity in coal,
grain, meats, cattle and live stock,
leather of all kinds, glassware, agricul
tural impliments, hour and meal, paper
manutactres, kerosene oil, cars, car
riages, hsh, metal goods, vegetables.
fruits, hats and caps, rubber goods, fer
tilizers, earthen and chinaware, and
number of other important articles.
- BAD HIS WIFE DISMISSED
Woman Official Dismissed on
her Hn
hand's Complaint.
Washington, Aug. 19. Acting Secre
tary Nettleton has signed an order dis-
pensing with the services of Mrs. Cath
erine McGuire as assistant keeper of the
light station at Marquette, Mich. A
singular feature of this case is that the
woman's dismissal is based on complaints
made by her husband, who is keeper of
the station. He charges her with inat-
tention to duty. In reporting on the
case, thjf inspector of the district sug
gests that the appointment of a man as
assistant keeper would be best for the
interests of the service.

Their Lives.
New Orleans, Aug. 19. While
dancing at a ball at Sandy Creek, in
Jackson parish, last night, Miss Matilda
Addison was shot by William Murray,
her partner in a waltz. Murray is a
young man and had been forcing his at
tentions on Miss Addison. He tried re
peatedly to get her to dance with him,
but she excused herself on various
grounds. Murray became angry and
told some of the young men present that
if she treated him like that again he
would shoot her. To pacify him, Miss
Addison, toward the close of the ball,
accepted him as a partner. They were
in the middle of the room and had just
begun waltzing, when the report of a
pistol was heard and Miss Addison tell.
Murray had fired the pistol without tak
ing it from his pocket, and the latter
was set on fare by the discharge. It was
found the ball had struck the woman in
the thigh, striking the bone and passing
directly through. The young man was
arrested, but denied all intention of
shooting.

INVOLVING MILLIONS.
Heavy Damages Claimed
Against
corporation.
Milwaukee, Aug. 19. A suit involv
ing several millions of dollars has been
begun in the United States circuit court
by the American Loan and Trust com
pany against the Gogebic Development
company. The defendant in 1887 exe
cuted to plaintiff a trust deed of a large
amount of valuable mining property in ,
Ashland county to secure the payment
2000 of its bonds of $1000 each,
amounting in all to $2,000,000. This
mortgage provided for the payment at 9
per cent, interest semi-annually, and the
principal in 1907, and also in case of de
fault for six months in the payment of
any installment and on demand of the
owners of the bonds to the amount of at
least $190,000 a mortgage should be de
clared to the whole amount of principal
and interest due and payable, and pro
ceed to foreclosure. The complainant
alleges that the defendant sold the whole
$2,000,000 bonds at par, and that there
nas been such default and demand. The
answer admits the execution of the bond
and mortgage, and that 500 of the bonds.
mounting to SfOUU.OUO, were sold and
negotiated by defendent, but denies that
the rest of the bonds were sold. The
latter, it alleges, were wrongfully and
fraudulently parceled out bv the former
officers of the company without any
value being paid therefor, and that the
present owners of them had full know

Bis; Grain Yields.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press, in the first
column of its first page, under big, scare
headlines, the first of which is "An Im
mense Yield." publishes the news that
Minnesota farmer harvested 43
bushels of wheat per acre from a fifteen
and a quarter acre field. Another report
says the crop in a certain locality is the
best in eleven years, and the wheat
looks good for 30 bushels to the acre.
Another . report predicts 25 bushels.
Another savs the average for one county
will be 15 bushels at least the heaviest
since 1884. In another section it will
be from 15 to 18 bushels ; in another, 18
to 20.
These are doubtless, good yields for
Minnesota, and the first and largest
mentioned very good for any country,
but for the size of the field such a crop
in various parts of Oregon would not be
considered worth mentioning. Scores of
large lields irom 4U to luo acres each -in
the Willamette valley and in Eastern
Oregon will yield this year from 35 to
45 bushels. One man last week re
ported a yield of 53 bushels an acre, and
didn't brag much about it.
Vet Minnesota and tne JJakotas along .
with the Pacific Northwest and other
parts of the country, will raise an im
mense aggregate crop this year. The
Pioneer Press estimates that the yield in
the three states will be of wheat, loO,-
000,000 bushels : oats, 116,000,000 : corn,
51,000,000; and other grains in lesser-
amounts, the total value being about
$200,000,000, of which over $150,000,000
worth will be for export. .

From the New Voik Weekly.
Young Father Iain amazed, shocked,
my dear, to hear you say you intend to
give the baby some paregoric. Don't
you know that paregoric is opium, and
opium stunts the growth, enfeebles the
constitution, weakens the brain, des
troys th e nerves, and produces rickets,
marasmus, consumption, insanity and
death?
Young Mother Horrors I never
beard a word about that. I won't give
the little ducky darling a drop, no,
indeedy. But something must be done
to stop his yelling, it ou carry mm,
awhile.
