Washington, March la The war de partment has stipplied the house com mittee on military affairs, "which is in- vesugating the Cotur d Alerte mining troubles, with the correspondence on the subiect The first dispatch of Gov ernor Steunenberg, dated April 29th. the day the inill was blown up. asks the president to send United States troops to the Couer d Alenes immedi ately. On April 30th the war depart ment wired General Merriam. at l)en vcr. to go .to Wardner -immediately, taking the troops most convenient. The next dispatch, dated August 10, 1800, is from the war department to F. W. Bowden, president of the Grass Valley Miiters Union. Grass Valtey. Cal. and reads as follows: "Your telegram to the president has been referred to this oflice, and I am instructed by the "Secretary of war, to inform you that the presence of troops in Shoshone county, Idaho, is due to the request of the governor of that state, who made a requisuion for the same under warrant of law, April &), 180Q.

The late Dr. Leslie E. Keclcy. whose funeral occurs at Dwight Thursday, de serves to be remembered as a great public benefactor. His, "cure"; for the liquor -habit has not always proved suc cessful, but it ought to be said, in jus tice to his memory, that it has proved ia every instance as successful as he promised it would be. He did cot un dertake at any time, all misrepresenta tion to the tontrary, to make over his patients. He promised to restore them lo the full enojyment of their physical health and mental faculties, and in the vast majority of cases his promise was fulf.HetL - Time and again Dr. Keeley an nounced publicly that the man who came to him and expected to be cured of the Lauor habit . against his wil could not be successfully treated- The best he could do for such a man -was to cive hint an opoortunity of think inc ami living rationally. He could make such a man sober, build up hi health, strengthen hi nerves, place him on bis feet, and enable rum to con quer bis appetite, if he would, but he coujd not prevent him from raising a glass of liquor 'to his lips, from swal lowing it, or from inviting the conse quenccs which must inevitably follow his weakness. Thousands of fchose whom- Dr. Kee ley treated have fallen again. Of these a large percentage, seeing their folly and realizing their shame, nave re gained their foothold-,r Other thous ands, however, have never fallen, but are as steadfast today as they were five ten. or htteen years ago. 'Dr. Keeley gave new life, new ener gy, ana new hope to many a man dried many a woman's tears, and trans formed many a neglected and forlorn home into a paradise. A prophet is wit&out honor ia his own country and m his own tune, but it is not going too far to predict that Dr. Keeley, in the near future, will, rank among the great discoverers 1 of his age and the great benefactors of the race.

(March ia The Mu tual Life Insurance Company,; of New York, has subscribed for 2,000.000 of the new English war loan.

GRAIN ON HAND. Washington, March 10. The March reports of the statistician of the depart ment of agriculture will show the amount of wheat remaining in farmers hands on March 1st, to have been about ts8.7oo.ooo bushels, or 20 per cent o last year's crop, as compared with 198.ooo.poo bushels or 20.3 per cent of the, crop of 1S98, on hand Marca 1 1899- '' II IMS ON ANGORA GOAT , . . . HUSBANDRY. i(G. IA. Iloerle NewJersey, in Ameri can Sheep Breeder.) There can be nodisputing' the fact that the only animals which hold their own fairly well throughout the United States, and during the entire long de pression in the lire stock tnarktt, are the Angora oats. and 'it is therefore no wonder that the inquiries, especial ly from entire outsiders, arc constantly increasing, nor can there be any doubt about it that no class of stock has fair er prospects. It is quite evident that through the last decade the Angora goat husbandry has been changing from being a haz ardous speculation to the state of a well established, honest industry, 'and ever since thewell-known mohair expert and commission merchant, Mr. W. K Payne, has the assurance .from English correspondents that some of the mohair raised in Oregon, New Mexico and Texas would bring in England from 38 to 40 cents; or as much as the ,vcry best Turkish hair, the proof is fur nished that we can rival the Cape as well as Turkey.. Let me give here a few figures which will elucidate this point: During the last eleven years the pro duction of mohair at the Cape of Good Hope has fluctuated between 9 and million of pounds. .In Turkey the fluctuations are still much larger. We found the production of 1886 to have been nearly 10.000.000 pounds: in t887. only 5 ,vs; in 1889 again 8 4-5, and in 1800 only 4 1-10 million irounds. Then the production rose gradually again to 8.000,000 in 189.1, but droppped to 7,000.000 in 1894: r.ien it rose again to 11,000,000 in 1895 and again sank fully 0,000,000, to 5.000,000: but from men it gradually rose to .10.000.000 again last season. This, to be sure. very irregular, and shows plahily fhat though the Province of Anirora has most likely the best rlimair lor the individual animal. Asia Minor at large cannot be considered as pro pitious for as regular, "rupdIv of mo hair as would be many, if not most, of tne states ot our union, where onlv 800,000" pounds were produced last year, of which, however, about one-third , is either too short or too coarse to be of much value The demand of our man ufacturers is now 1,500,000 pounds, and increases steadily, and there is nothing in the way "of this country's manufacturing- mohair goods, not only for home consumption, but for the iworld at large, except the lack of mohair and too low grade of our stock, wins to an insufficient importation of new blood. The number ol Angora 'goats has va ried between 2.000.000 and uno.nno in Turkey and 2,500,000 and 3,600,000 at the Cape. In the United States the in dustry has been gradually increasing, slowly, it is true, but steadily, during the last twenty years, and we hav today over half a million of shearing goats, and there is no reason whatever why we should not -have ten times, or even twenty times, that number, and shearing each year over twice as much mohair except, again, on account of the deficiency of , good new : blood, which cah easily be imported. How ever, the new impulse given to this in dustry, the inquiries and purchases of outside capitalists, together with the war in iouth Africa, which has now fully the appearance of not onlv bcin a heavy blow to the husbandry at the yape, bat really to result practically in its entire destruction, will ccrrainlv have the immediate effect of driving no the mohair market next spring or summracr beyond all credence, and make the Angora -goat husbandry on a large scale a fixture this side of the ocean, and at the same time one of the most profitable investments, both in fbe United States and Asia Minor. It may, therefore, be in the interest of many. of your readers to give them a few points about the husbandry !and what a party engaging in it has to ex pect, if he goes to work in the: right I often Tcccive letters asking infor mation of usually so vague a character half-way satisfactory answer. The or- dinarv tenor of such letters is, Wliat is the price of Angora goatsf of mo hair? How many can you raise on rn acre of land? Would it be advisable for me to engage in the industry? y If so, nl.c t m all about it- etc. In order to make a long story short let me say that Angoras vary af jxrice from 51.50 to $150 monair irom 10c a nniuiil and of some land it takes rive or or six acres to feed one goat," ; whilst on other land one can keep tive or six goats on one acre, all according to the quality.-; wnetner 11 wouia joe uis' hle fnr a oersOn to engage ia the. in dustry would depend entirely upon'his age, present occupation and earnings, the amount of money he wants to, in- vest, whether it is to be nly as a su - pernumcrary to his present "occupation I extreme tenrion totlay, almost ' ap or whether he has to depend upon- it I proaching tht of the trying times 1111- for a living from the very beginning, is family; wheth - cr he owns the land already, intends to rem , or warns 10 uuy "'""J-. much work he and his laratly are fiotn able and walling to .perlomv; -ah to perfornv All of the most vital leman just a jew ild wye a nice start, mdation of compar- mese are questicms 01 importance.
