Willlams at 1515 Fifth avenus was broken into and ransacked by some person or persons who it is thought ware after money only. They falled to secure any, however, but left a letter containing a threat to kidnap Mrs. Willlam's only son, a young lad employed as elevator boy in one of the office buildings. The letter was turned over o the police. It is written in pencil and evidently the work of an uneducated person. This is the letter: Your boy Is in great danger. to be kidnapped any moment 1 dve us what we want.

Acts on Advice of Police. Acting under the advice of the police, Mrs. Willlams Saturday evening placed a salt sack, as indicated in the letter, under the Fifth avenue bridge. It did not, however, contain the money demanded, but was filled with gravel. Officers watched the bridge the entire night, hoping that the person or persons responsible for the letter would come for the sack, but their vigil was in ‘vain, It is supposed that the persons after Mrs. ‘Willlams' money either discovered the pre: ence of the police or learned that she laid the matter before the authorities. The po- lice have under survelllance & young man llving in the neighborhood of the Willlams'| home who was seen loafing around the! house shortly before it was broken into Fri- day night and who is also sald to have been under the Fifth avenue hridge Saturday afternoon before the decoy sack was placed there. Mrs. Willlams, who lives alone with her son, is very much wrought up over the threatening letter, fearing that some harm may befall her boy.

SARGENT HAS A MYSTERY Presi: t of School Bonrd Goes Ho: to Find Lights Burning, but Doors Lock The family of President Sargent of the Board of Education is spending the summer at the lakes and Mr. S nt 18 the only occupant of the home on Second avenue at might. Saturday night he walked home in company with H. W. Binder and another friend living in the neighborhood. As they approached the Sargent residence they were surprised to notice the entire upper portion of the house brilliantly lighted up, al- though all the blinds on the windows were drawn down. ! Mr. Sargent divided his forces, suspact- ing that burglars were holding high car- mival in his house. Mr. Binder wi to guard the back door while ‘watched the front entrance. The friend was detalled to telephone for the police and arouse some of the menfolk living near by. Several responded to the alarm and by the time Captain Maitby and Detective Calla- ghan arrived on the scene the house was guarded at all points. Then it was decided to march upon the house and Mr. Sargent, with as little noise as possible, opened the front door. Not a sound could be heard upstairs as the offi- cers with drawn revolvers proceeded to the second floor. Everything appeared to be in perfect order and & thorough search falled to reveal any trace of burglars. Investiga- tion showed all the doors and windows se- curely fastened, but no explanation was fortheoming e to how the lights in the up- per part of the house had been turned on. Mr. Sargent had not been home sinee the afternoon and he is still sesking a solution of the mystery. Davis sells paints. Gravel roofing, A. H. Read, 541 Broadway, Hoard of Health to Meet.

TO NAME CANDIDATES BY ACCLAMATION With the Exception of Clerk and Re- porter of Supreme Court and Rall- road Co sslomer There ‘Will Be No Contest. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 27.—(Special.)—The preparations for the republican state con- vention are mow complete and a number of the candfdates are already on the ground ready for the contest of this week. The convention will have 1,233 delegates, which will nearly half ffi the large auditorium in which the meeting will be held. There will be an array of distinguished Jowa republicans present, Including the sen- ators and most of the members of the house. It {s understood that Secretary James Wilson of the Department of Agri- culture is coming as a delegate from Tama county. It is also anticipated that he will be a member of the committes on resolu- tions, and as a member of the cabinet of President Roosevelt will have great influ- ence on that committee. In several dis- tricts there will be spirited contests for places on the committees, particularly on the committee on resolutions. and a strong effort is to be made to have & committee that will prepare a platform leaving out the reference of the last year's platform to removing protection that shelters monop- olies. Some pressure is being brought to bear from the east in this matter. Last year's Iowa platform was recognized as a liberal one, and it indicated a willing- ness to have the tariff schedulés revised whenever the trusts are making profit therefrom. Upon this platform Governor Cummins stood squarely and made his fight and secured the biggest majority ever given any candidate in Towa. But this is a con- gressional year and members of the national congressional committee have pointed out that fnasmuch as there are two members of the cablnet in Iowa the Towa platform will be regarded as something of a national platform, and if there is any liberalism in it the eastern republican candidates for con- gress will sufter from lack of funds with which to carry on their campaign. Con- gressman Hull of this city is at the head of the congressional campaign and expects s00n to go east to help in the fight in east- ern districts. On the other hand, the frfends of Governor Cummins in; upon practi- cally the same platform this year as last year. There is no change in regard to candl- dates. The candidates for secretary, treas- urer, attorney general, auditor and two Judges will be named by acclamation. There will be sharp contests for clerk and re- porter of the supreme court and for rafl- read commissioner. In the Ninth and Fourth districts there will be contests for places on the state com- mittee. Senator Bruce of Cass seeks re- election in the Ninth and is opposed by J. 8. Dewell of Harrison and others. There is a fight against W. L. Turner in the Fourth and J. G. Hempel of Clayton is a candidate against him. Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge. The Knights of Pythlas’ grand lodge dates for Towa have been fixed for October 6 to 10, inclusive. The lodge will ‘meet in Des Moines. = At the eame time the Knights of Khorassan will meet in Des Motnes. = It has been arranged that Governor Cum- mins will deliver the address of welcome to the 0dd Fellows on the occasion of the con- vening of the supreme grand lodge in Des Molnes September 15 mext. Natural Gas Near Des Moines. For many years it has been known that natural gas was to be found near the large coal beds in this county and a few years ago the county put down & gas well on its farm north of Des Molnes. The town of Ankeny, on the Northwestern raliroad north of Des Moines, has recently commenced using natural gas, and preparations are be- ing made for piping the gas to the resi- dences of the town for illuminating pur- poses. The gas is of good quality and there is & steady flow from several wells. Socialists Meet in a Park. A meeting of soclalists was held in Union park in this city today, addressed by W. A. Jacobs of Davenport organizer for the party in this state. After the soclalists had se- cured tacit consent of the park board for this meeting an effort was made to keep them from having the meeting, but as they bave been given the privilege of holding meetings regularly every Sunday in the parks nothing could be done. It is probable that because of the objection of the people the park board will have to prohibit all political meetings in the parks. Jacobs is engaged in organizing & socialist party in Iowa. Survey of Iiterm Road. The survey of the new interurban rail- road from Des Moines to the w part of the state s progressing well, The party of surveyors running & prelminary line has reached the western part of Guthrle county, having passed through the towns of Adel, Panora and Guthrie Center. The surveyors give little indication of the pur- pose of the survey beyond stating the fact that it will be continued on through Hi lan and Audubon. Des Moines capita are supposed to be back of the movement and an electric line will be constructed as soon as the franchises can be secured. Work Order in Debt. The grand lodge of United Workmen for Towa held a special session at Waterloo the past week and grand officers from here took & prominent part. This i the old lodge which seceded from the national organization of the Anclent Order of United Workmen many years ago. At the present time the membership is about 3,000. The grand lodge has about $14,000 on hand with which to pay death losses and has debts amounting to about $50,000, most of which would be dus in October next. The special session was called to arrange for funding this debt so that the lodge could continue business, and the constitution was amended to permit of this. Deatroyed Many ‘The recent floods have swept away seven- teen bridges over Jefferson county streame which were bullt and maintained by the Board of Supervisors. Other llke struc- tures and stone culverts have been seri- ously damaged, but are passable at this time, while scores of crossings which are the property of the townships have been ruined or damaged. Probably at no time in ‘the history of the county has so great or such serious damage been done by floods. Makes L Leap.

LINCOLN PARTIES DEVELOPING A CLAIM nday Mine at Galena Proving a Bonanza for Man Who Hns the Lease — New Placer Scheme, DEADWOOD, 8. D., July 26.—(Spectal.)— One hundred and twenty-five men are em- ployed on the mill of the Penobscot com- pany at Garden City and expect to have it in running order by the 1st of September. The company, which is a close eorporation, 1s aiming to have one of the best cyaniding mills in the country, and so far has been sparing no expense to make It so. Devel- opment work on the Penobscot and Reali- zation groups of the company has reached such a stage that it has opened up the ore shoots in both in such a manner that not the least trouble will be experienced in getting out ore enough to keep the mill going, and should the company conclude to add an additional 200 tons to its ca- pacity it can easily be supplied. The new hoist and alr compressor plant has been installed and both are working smoothly, 0 the mines are prepared for the actual work of getting out ore, which will be started in a very few weeks. The Dakota Mining company Thursday deposited the results of the semi-monthly clean-up of its mill in the First ward of this city with the United States assay of- fice. As the mill had not been running to its full capacity all of the time, the clean-up was not 8o large as usual, amount- ing to a little over $5,000. The company will soon begin the work of enlarging its plant in this city, doubling its present ca- pacity of 150 tons a day. Work on the Hidden Fortune's big mill, just below the city, is belng pushed and will be completed in contract time. The contract” calls for”its completion within four months. The stone work for the foundations has been completed, and as soon as the spur to the mill site, which is now under comstruction by the Elkhorn railroad, is completed, the delivery of ma- chinery will begin. The company has within the last month shipped a great deal of ore to the Natlonal smelter at Rapid City for treatment. Work on the company’s mines near Central City continues and at present some very rich ore is being takey from the workings. Lincoln Men Buy Property. The Hidden Treasure Mining and Milling company s the name of a new organization recently formed in this city. The company owns a number of claims on Deadwood creek, about four miles above this city, which it proposes to devélop and bulld a mill on. There are a number of ore bodies of considerable magnitude_exposed by the ‘workings already on the ground, and the ore, & ¢yaniding proposifion, 1s said to earry very good values. The officers elected at’ the meeting of the stockholders this week are: 8. T, Cochran of Lincoln, pres dent: Nathan Hart of Lead, secretary- treasurer. The company’s stock is mostly owned by Lincoln, Neb., people, and Wil- lam Lawler of Lincoln, one of the direc- tors, i to have charge of the work, which will be started on the property at once. The company owns 243 acres of ground on the phonolite belt on Deadwood creek. The Pluma Mining company on Friday started ten stamps of its mill at Pluma station, two mliles above Deadwood, on ore trom its property near Lead. The ground of the company adjoins the townsite of Lead on the east and has been worked extensively In former years, the company having allowed it to remain idle until recently, when a reorgadization was eftected. The ore carries values ranging from $7.50 to $10 a ton, free milling, but its concentrates also carry very good values, 8o it is more than likely that a cyanide annmex to the present plant will be built should the test run of ore which is now being made prove satistactory. The Horseshoe Mining company this week began adding tanks for 100 tons more & day to the plant it is now running at Pluma. The company a few months ago installed as an experiment a 100-ton cy nide plant in its chiorination mill at Pluma, and it has proven to be such & success that the additional 100 tons is being put in. The company has the ground broken for a plant to have a dally c pacity of 1,200 tons, and the plans a about ready. The Juplter Mining company has started n its ground in Blacktall gulch with force of men, the new work being dome on Resumption Nos. 1 and 2, two of the claims included in the Gustin group recently purchased by the company. On these two claims there has mot been very much work done, but what work has been dong has exposed several good ore bodles and It is for the purpose of opening these up to furnish ore for the milling plant that the present operations are being conducted. The cyanide annex which the Homestake company is building at Gayville to treat the tatiings from the Caledonla and Dead- | wood Tefra mills at Terraville, and the DeSmet mill at Central City, is almost ready to start up. Th plant will have @ capacity for treating 900 tons of tailings aday. day Proving a Bouansa. GALENA, July 20.—(Special) — The Sunday mine s proviag to be & bonanza. SCHOOLS, 4 Baptist.Fem.

Buy The Sunday Bee Another shipment of ore from it was made this week of four cars, and five more cars of ore are on the sidetrack walting to be loaded. The last shipment went as good s $30 a ton, and as the ore is very easily worked the values were mostly all profit. Shipments are being made to the Imperial cyanide mill at Deadwood over the B. & M. narrow gauge. Last Thursday the miners ran into a very rich streak of ore, which will go up into the hundreds of dollars. The ore was encountered on the top of the bill in an open .cut, from which most of the sHipments have been made. The ground 18 under lease to Bart Harris of this pla and he has increased his working force and will try and make larger shipments. Three shipments, aggregating about 130 tons, have been made from the mine. The ore body is not a very large one where the present work is belng dome, there being but about five feet of it, but as it all av- erages up well everything that it met with in the shape of ofe is being shipped. The Michigan Mining company, - which owns four patented claims adjoining the Two Bears group of mines, will begin ex- tenstve development work on ' its ground next weok. The management of the com- pany belleves that the Oro Fino vein runs through the property, and the work will be done in an effort to find this vein, which, when it was belng worked, was one of the richest in the Bare Butte mining district. The directors of the company held a meet- ing last week, and besides voting to begin work on the property elected the following officers: President, J. B. Mars; vice pres- ident, Brward Hanschka; secretary-treas- urer, J. R. Russell. A new proposition in placer mining, or it may be quartz mining, has come up in the Ruby gulch district. The management of the Portland mine has concluded to run the surface dirt which overlies the vein on the property through a stamp mill. This dirt {s from six to ten feet in depth over the vein, and it all prospects, running all the way from $3 to about 318 a ton, and for a distance of about 300 feet below the veln on the hillside. It has been bros- pected for a distance of 500 feet one way and 300 another, and ‘every panful of dirt shows colors. It would make ideal material to send through a stamp mill, stamp would crush as much of it as could be shoveled into it without any troul and there ds nothing in it that would pre. vent easy amalgamation, all of the values would be saved. The company is still driv- ing its main tunnel on the vein and is get- ting out some very good ore. Work on the mill Will begn shortly, and it is hoped that it will be in operation before winter sets in. DAKOTA CROP CONDITIONS Improvement is Shown All Ov. Jim River Cowntry and Oute 160k 1s Good. HURON, §. D., July 27.—(Specisl.)—Little can be added to what has already been id concéfning crop conditions in this part of South Dakota. Throughout Beadle county, and over the entire Jim river val- ley, more encouraging indications for larg ylelds of small grain could scarcely be de- elred. The ground is amply molst for the ma- turlug of wheat and other small grain, what s now needed {s warm, sumshiny weather to ripen grain and put it in proper condition for harvesting. Some barley is in shock, and rye is also being cut; these crops are unusually heavy—the barley crop being the greatest in the history of this portion of the state, and the quality fis much better than ever before known. The berries are large, of uniform size and splendid color—something that could not truthfully be sald of rye and barl in former years. Estimates as to ylelds per acre of barley, rye, oats anc wheat vary so much that ome can scarcely Eive figures that would be regarded rutnentic; tarmers say oats will go ffty bushels per acre, barley from twenty-five to thirty, and rye correspondingly, while whest will range from fifteen to twenty-five bushels per acre. Harvesting 1s in progiess in the southern t o county, and.wheal cutting will begin in a few days. Corn is making rapid progress and bide fair to be a fine crop. The last week has n more favorable for corn and there is every indication that the yield will be as great as earller estimated. Potatoes and millet are splendid; where the for ome | potatoes were Injured by frost in June there will ‘be & fair crop.
