Chicago, June 12. A special to the
Times-Herald from New York says :
Another advance of one-sixteenth of a
cent a pound lias been ordered on graded
Nos. 5 and G, or domestic refined sugars
This is the third fractional advance
within a few days, and follows a rise or
dered Thursday of one-eighth of a cent
on all grades of refined sugars except
Nos. 5, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16, in which
grades the figures were advanced one-
sixteenth of a cent per pound.
These advances, coming after thous
nnds of tons of raw sugar had been
rushed in before the tariff bill becomes a
law, means the amassing of millions of
dollars by the American Sugar Refining
Company, otherwise known as the sugar
trust.

Seattle, Wash., June 12. G. B.
Swinehart, editor of the Juneau Mining
Record, has just returned from Washing
ton City with important news.
"I called upon Secretary Bliss in re
gard to the governorship," Baid Mr.
Swinehart this morning. "He is a man
of few words, and when I introduced the
subject, he promptly said: 'We have
decided to nominate the Rev. Mr. Brady,
the candidate of the missionary element,
as soon as Mr. Sheakley's resignation is
received.'
"By 'we' he meant the president and
himself, for the appointment comes
through the interior department."
Information about the other officers is
not obtainable. Charles S. Johnson and
Brady compromised Bome time since,
the former withdrawing his application
for governor. He is now a candidate,
with Brady's support, for collector of
customs.
Fell Three TlioUHiuitl Feet.
Berlin, June 12. Herr Wolefert, an
aeronaut, accompanied by a machinist
named Knabe, made an experimental
ascent in a so-called steering airship
from the Templehoff common this even
ing. When the balloon, which had been
filled at a military ballooning establish
ment, had reached a height of 3000 feet,
a loud explosion was heard, and the
next moment the balloon was seen to be
ablaze. The car, which waB also on
fire, detached itself from the burned
silk, and fell with fearful rapidity to the
ground. Both of its occupants were
found dead. Their bodies were horribly
burned. It appears that the benzine
used in the steering gear motor explod
ed causing the disaster.

truded in all directions. One of the
Pieces is worth $220. The Sutton creek
Placers have yielded largo quantities of
gold in the past and for years prospectors
have been hunting for he fountain bead,

Jones, the well-known Kansas populist,
left here today for Alaska. He says he
has two objects in view, one to prospect
a route for the Canadian Pacific railroad

The musk ox is nearly extinct, and
Jones proposes, by the assistance of
numerous shepherd dogs which he took
with him, to herd them on an island off
the coast. He will also raise several
species of the fox for their furs. Several
persons will go with Jones on his expe
dition to the gold fields on the Yukon

Kansas City, Juno 12. Harry W
Hallen, a traveling circus performer, was
cut open at his own request at the Ger
man hospital here today, and f ally three
handfuls of hardware, which he had
swallowed within the past two weeks,
were taken from his stomach. A pho

H. Tilley, a responsible photographer,
later, in the day revealed the following
outlay :
une lour-Miauea kniie, three ana one
half inches long; one two-bladed knife
two inches long; three knife blades,
ranging from one to three inches in
length ; 38 8 and 10-penny nails and
spikes; 34 G-penny wire nails, sharp
pointed; 26 shingle nails; 16 carpet
tacks ; three large screws, one horseshoe
nail, one barbedvvire staple, three ounces
of fine glass.

around the country for the past 17 years
eating glass and other hard substances
in his avocation as the human ostrich.

diet bad agreed with him perfectly. It
is believed he will recover from the
operation.
MileM' l'lace in the Parade.
New Youk, June 12. A special to the
World from London says :
General Miles who recently came to
Europe to witness the Graeco-Turkish
war as the representative of tho United
States army, is to ride mounted in the
queen's jubilee parade in a position
very near to the queen's carriage.
The place will be second only to her
majesty's body guard. His assignment
to it is regarded here as evidence of the
British government's good feeling, and
is likely to create something of a sensa
tion. Sacramento Salmon ltun.
San Fkancisco, June 12. The ruu of
salmon in the Sacramento river this year
is greater than it lias been since 1890.
Already the pack has been 0000 caees
more than for all of last year. Then it
was 13,887 cases, while the spring catch
alone has amounted to 20,000 cases, and
it is expected that the fall catch will at
least double these figures.
The result is largely attributed by the
packers themselves to the hatchery es
tablished at Battle Creek by the board of
fish commissioners.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
