Hill of the Great Northern yester- day stopped at Hillyard, a suburb of Spo- kane, where are located his shops, and no- tified the people that unless the disincor- poration of the town was vacated he would move theshops. he town was incorporated a short time ago by the narrow majority of three votes. Those elected to office at once voted them- selves a lot of high salaries, and as Hill owned two-thirds of the property they ex- vected him to pay that proportion of the taxes.

PEARLBRIAVS SLAER Scott Jackson Is Practically Convicted by His Own Confession. His Intimacy With the Unfortunate Girl Admitted in a Jail Interview. CINCINNATI, Omio, Feb. 26.—Scott Jackson, in an exciting interview with a reporter at the jail this morning, confessed to having had improper rela- tions with Pearl Bryan. This is the most important confession of the prisoner since his imprisonment. Ever since his arrest, Jackson has held | out against overwhelming facts, that his relations with Pearl Bryan were abso- | lutely honorable, and that his sole pur- | pose in having her come to Cincinnati and undergo an operation was to protect his friend, William Wood. In the interview Wood is almost vindicated. Had he not written the series of disgusting letters to Jackson he would have been a free man to-day. Both Jackson and Wood admitted that Dr. Gillespie had strongly urged Jackson to marry Pearl Bryan. Wood, when seen after the Jackson interview, talked about the Gillespie interview with little reserve. He was not informed of what Jackson had confessed. He unconsciously corroborated Jackson's story, except the matter of his (Wood’s) confessing to having been too intimate with his second cousin, FLOCK 70 THE HEALER Hundreds of People Visit Shrae- der, the Nebraska Rival of Schiatter, He Treats All Who Come, and Will Accept No Remuneration for His Services. SPRINGFIELD, Irvn.,, Feb. 26.—Schrae- der, the ““divine healer,” who came here from Lincolu and began business last Sat- urday morning, has been unable to take care of the immense crowds that have be- sieged him from day to day. The railways have had a noticeable increase of business since his arrival. It is estimated that at least 1500 persons have been treated by him every day. At 4 o'clock vesterday afternoon he be- came exhausted, and had to close the doors of his parlor with a multitude still in the doorway. A couple too poor to pay their fare walked a distance of forty miles to re- ceive the blessing of the healer. The woman was suffering from something like erysipelas, while her husband had been severely burned. After visiting the healer they disappeared, and it is not known whether they were benefited or not. A couplefrom Portiand, Or., arrived with their crippled som, and after the healer treated him they took the first train out of town without disclosing their names. Schraeder will accept no money for his service. He wears a black robe, with a huge red sash over his shoulders. 2 s INCREAMES THE REWARD, Lawyer Cody’s Offer for Information Regarding His Missing Wife. CHICAGO, Iiv., Feb. 26.—Arthur B.

Louis Schorser, a boy seven years of age, living with his parents at 2133 Harri- son street, met with an accident yesterday afternoon that will in all probability prove fatal. He was playing with some other boys around the cars on the Southern Pacific tracks at Sixteenth and Harrison streets when he was struck by the outgoing pas- senger train that left Third and Townsend streets at 5 o’clock. The cowcatcher of the éngine threw him off the track, otherwise he would have been mangled by the wheels, He was carried in an unconsclous con- dition to his father’s house and Dr. Hilton was summoned.

A TREACHEROUS FRIEND Betrayed by a Man Whom He Had Camped With and Fed for Years. | INFAMY PROPERLY PUNISHED. | The First Tragedy Reported Since the Opening of the Colville Reservation. SPOKANE, Wasn., Feb. 26.—Word has been received from Northport that O. C. Corx, the old prospector who tried to com- mit suicide yesterday, is dead, and theraby hangs a tale. Five years ago Cox, with Dan Crown, was on the reservation opposite to the town of Northport. While climbing to the top of a hill to locate themselves—for the whole country was unsettled at that time—they found a very rich ledce, samples of which assayed between $400 and $500 and which in character is ident- ical to the famous Silver King, near Nel- son, B. C. .There was little prospects of the reservation being opened for years, but they covered the exposed part of the ledge and it is now fully covered over by grass and dirt. Shortly after this Cox met Ed Cowan, State, and to him he told of the find, and together the three were to wait patiently until the hour arrived and then locate the mine that was to make them both rich and happy. Cox, during all these years, prospected around in this State and British Columbia, but only to live, for he was waiting for the great-to-be mine. At last the hour came, and to Crown was left the work of doing | the skirmishing to get there first, for he | SAD SUICIDE, & and the arrest of Jobn Hays Hammond and other American citizens. Ir_n_ordar. however, to secure for the position a standing that would make it acceptable 1o a man of prominence, Mr. Iney requested the Senate Committee on Appropriations to insert in the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, which had been passed by the House, a paragraph increasing the salary of the Cape Town office from $2000 to $3000 a year. This provision was adopted, and Mr. Mulligan’s nomination followed. Mr. Mulligan is borne on the rolls of the State Department as Consul-General at Apia, Samoa, but he tendered his resig- nation of that office, having recently re- turned to the United States for that purpose. AIDING HOME PRODUCTS The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asgociation Address the Supervisors. _The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation has addressed a communication to th_e Board of Supervisors on the subject of using home products in the various insti- tutions under its control. Attention was called to the fact that in the Almshouse and City Receiving Hospital pharma- ceutical preparations 1mported from the East are used, while the same materials are manufactured in California of equal if not better quality. In conclusion the as- sociation said : We hardly think it necessary to call your at- | tention to the good that can be done to the in- dustries of the State of California if all the ci zens and institutions, both public aud private, wouldadherestrictly to the line of “patronizing home industries, price and quality equal.” You can readiiy see that it would result in re- taining within'the State end causing to be cir- culated at home a large amount of mouey which would otherwise help to enrich some other community, HER HUSBAND IS MISSING Strange Disappearance of Robert Buchanan, a Railroad Engineer. He Came to This City From Sausalito Two Weeks Ago and Has Not Returned Home. The police have been for several days vainly trying to elucidate the mystery of the disappearance of Robert. Buchanan, engineer-on the North Pacific Coast Rail- road. Buchanan lived with his wife and two little girls in San Rafael. He left his home asusual on the morning of Wednesday, February 12. His wife expected him to return in the evening to dinner, after put- ting his engine up in the yards at Sausa- lito, but she was disappointed. She made inquiry next day and learned ROBERT B N N\ UCHANAN, was strong and healthy, while Cox was getting old and weak. Cowan for the past several months has been at Rossland, and there made known his knowledge of the ledge. Several men got around him and in- duced him to leave Cox and Crown and locate them, and this he finally agreed to do. Then it was suggested that if the loca- tion notice showed his name his former parthers might suspect him, and so when he made’ the rush and located his own name was left out. The men whose names were attached, however, stopped him, and giving him the laugh refused to deed him any interest in the mine, and when Cox went to get his interest from Cowan he learned not only that he had lost the mine he had { waited years to get, but that the man he | had treated asa friend and brother, the ! man he had camped with and fed for | years, had deliberately sold out this | friendship for a mess of pottage and had not reeeived the pottage. Cox was getting old and the thought of all this was too much for him, and walk- ing down to the Columbia River, near Northport, he jumped in, but fortunately several men suspected his intent and fol- lowed him. They pulled him out and persuaded him to come back uptown. ‘When they got uptown he started off ahead of his guardians and they followed a short distance behind. Presently he pulled a hunting knife from his pocket and placed the point of it against his breast under his vest and immediately over the heart. Holding the knife in his left hand, with his right fist he struck the end of the handle several times to drive the blade in. It penetrated deeply, grazing the heart and inflicting a ghastly wound, and he fell to the ground. He was picked up and carried into a saloon near by and a physi- cian was called. The mine is said to be a very valuable one. Marcus Daly has already offered to bond it for $1,000,000. This is the first tragedy on the opening of the new reservation. CONSUL AT CAPE TOWN. Salary of the Office Increased by Olney’s . Request. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.—In making the selection of a Consul at Cape Town, South Africa, which fell upon James H. Mulligan of Kentucky, whose name was sent to the Senate to-day, the President and Secretary Olney exercised the greatest care in view of the important position which the Consul will occupy with refcrence to the Transvaal disturbances that after putting his engine up he drew his wages—$95—and paid a bill of $15. He came to this City on the last boat that night and next day she got a note from bim that he would be home on Saturday night. He did not keep his promise and on Monday she. got a dispatch from him that he would be home on Tuesday morn- ing. She waited for two or three days in the expectation that he would return home anii then she came here and notified the police. £ Everything has been done sincs then by the police to get a trace of him, but with- out success, and yesterday Mrs. Buchanan, accompanied by her mother, called again at police headquarters and asked the help of the press to find her missing husband. Both ladies were deeply affected. “I cannot understand my husband’s ab- sence,”’ said Mrs. Buchanan, “and I am afraid he has met with foul play. He was never away from home before, and he was so0 considerate that if his train was an hour or so late he would wire me to keep dinner waiting for him. He was nota drizking man, but when he met some friends occasionally he was always jolly and free with his money.” Buchanan is 29 years of age, 5 feet 61¢ inches tall, of light complexion, heavy light-colored mustache, and was dressed in a dark blue sack coat and vest and light- colored blue trousers.

JOMOUIN MILLER AT PALO ALTO The Poet of the Sierras Lectures on “Hints From Nature.” \ AMERICAN DISCONTENT. Hard Raps at Wealthy Citizens ‘Who Spend Their Money Abroad. NATURE NEGLECTED FOR ART. Witty Illustrations and Quaint Stories That Delight a Large Assemblage. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Feb. 26.—One of the largest audiences that ever assembled to hear a lecture here congre- gated last evening to hear Joaquin Miller, the “Poet of the Sierras.’’ His witty illus- trations and quaint stories were heartily applauded. The subject of his lecture was “Hints From Nature.” In substance he said: A good many years ago, nearly a dozen, I came home after some years in other lands 'and went up into the mountains to meditate on and aigest what I had seen and studied abroad. It struck me that the Americans are more unhappy than Europeans. In their money- getting greedy Americans—that is, the masses—are not content. The reason is that the American is not at peace with himself; he is not near himself. The trouble is that he fails to feel and fails to strive to understand nature. This is not so in England. The English gentle- man goes abroad and makes money, but spends it at home on his country estate; the American makes it at home and spends it not on nature, but on art abroad. ‘We Americans are not humorous; we are a grimly sad people. Let us have light, and let that light come from nature. Consider the very first words in the one great book of all poetry if you want that light. If you care for color you have it all about you. And the periume. What do we know of this? The perfume of the great robust jocund mountain, when the whole world hangs heavy with sweet odors; and the snow—'‘Hast thou seen the treasures of the snow ?’’ sang Job, so far back that we know not the date. Thers has never been anything of man’s handiwork that matches the single flake of snow. Have you seen the highborn rain that falls on ell alike? T love the rain, and the little door of my hut on the moun- tain side is always open, rain or shine. And the wind that walks arm in arm with the rain, and the thunder and lightning flashes. You cannot lie to nature as you can to mortal man. When you have learned all that books can teach remember you have but begun. 1t takes time to understand and appre- ciate nature. You must understand her alphabet if you would understand her moods and temperament. Learn to see the poppy on the bird’s breast and to hear its song, whose music Patti may never equal. One thing that robs nature of her rights is superfluity of words; yet Burns wrote in less than 4000, and the Bible such poetry as has not been since written 1n 7000. Closing, the poet said: “The man who can despise luxury and toil with his hanas is an exceedingly rich man. Remember that we begin the next life precisely where we leave off this. Be not blinded to this beautiful world, but live and love it. Be- gin to-day. There are millions of to-mor- rows; there is only one to-day. “Come, listen, O love, to the voice of the dove, And hearken, T hear him say, There are many to-morrows, my love, my love; There is only one to-day.” THE FIGHT WITH RAINEY, George Maxwell “Roasts” Gavin McNab and Others in a Tale of Woe. A New Election Is Ordered in the Forty-Fourth and More Trouble Brews. Amid the strong possibility that Sam Rainey, working with Ed Lanigan and the Daggett forces, has assumed control of the Junta’s organization, there is an immense amount of bustling in the line of district politics. In the Junta orgsnization there are sore spots in many districts since the primary Monday night, and there is much activity among district bosslets. The Buckleyites are taking a keen interestin Junta politics, and they have several men in the new general committee elected Monday nizht, The Buckleyites watched the Junta primary the other evening like hawks. In every district a selected committee of four or five Buckley men watched the election in every district with as much keenness as though they were election officers. There was a meeting at the Oecidental Club night before last at which verbal reports of the doings in every district were made. ‘Written reports signed by the special com- mittees were ordered sentin and a num- ber were turned in last night. The number of ballots actually cast is stated in many cases at about Jity, and farless than the number reported 'cast. The reports from some of the districts tell of a good many individuals who are al- leged to have voied several times, and some of the reports include names of dele- gates to the new general committee who are | to be Republicans, non-residents 1 istricts and so on. It is the inten- tion to prepare a lot of affidavits in ac- cordance with these reports for possible use 1n making war on the Junta in the T the Bukley ul e Buckleyites are not worryin, anybody now. The fight with Sam R:{:ixag in the organization gives interest enough. Boss McNab, Chairman Sullivan and Samuel Braundart scout the idea of Rainey having secured the works. Max Pogpcr and others bardly believe he has, and are waiting until the new committee meets to see. A great many active men in the Junta organization beficvo and say that Rainey will be found in control. The test will come when the new com- mittee meets for organization—probably next week. That meeting promises to be a warm ana tumultuous one, The main fight will occur at the outset, over the seating of the twenty-five delegates from the Forty-fourth, nominated by George Maxwell, secretary of the Fire Commission, in defiance of Chairman Sullivan, and unanimously elected. The primary com- mittee strongly supports Chairman Sulli- van and Gavin McNab in their refusal to give the Rainey element in that district more than eléven of the twenty-five dele- gates, irrespective of the results of a primary election. It has ordered a new election in that district and left its time and management to Chairman Sullivan. It will likely be held this week, and an- other ticket will be sent from headquar- ters, with a committee of election officers. Whether Maxwell and his people will have anything to do with the new election is doubtful. Maxwell says that he will not. The feeling is very bitter with the Rainey people over tlie Forty-fourth Dis- trict affair. Maxwell yesterday cleared his decks and went for Chairman Sulli- van, Gavin McNab, Max Popper and Samuel Braunhart in this fashion: The members of the party apparertly have no rights that these people are bound to re- spect. Colonel Sullivan assured me that every- body would get fairly ireated and on that assumption I went into the movement against Buckley in the interest of the Fire Department and did all I could to get people into the organization. I had the assurancesof Suili- van, McNab and others that every man nomi- nated by the club whose dollar was paid would g0 on the ticket. Our club nominated a ticket of twenty-five in regular way and complied with every rule. Then zhcgv said we couldn’t nominate but eleven, and fourteen would be arbitrarily selected at headquarters for the ticket. We didn’t care how many nominations we made. but we were entitled 0 nominations at least, and let the election settie who should Tepresent the district. This was all done to discipline me because I was a friend of Rainey. Sullivan at first said that I would not only have eleven solid, but the best of the fourteen. Irefused anything on that basis. Now see what Sullivan conld do. Two nights later he said to my brother, *“What's the mat- ter with George?”and proposed that he would name fourteen of my friends, but that I should get out and kick and pretend to be dissatisfied | because I didu’t Lave a majority. He said something of that sort was necessary to make itappear (o the public that Rainey was not in control. I laughed at the proposition and didn’t go to see Sullivan abont it. | Then ex-Supervisor John Foley of the Forty- | fifth, wno is out for Senator, came to me and | wanted to tie me up in his Senatorial fizht. I | refused and a_week later he came and urged | me to settie the thing. He told me that | Samuel Braunhart had been to William | Raubinger in that district and asked for the | names of some good Democrats in that district | to be appointed on the ticket. Raubinger goes | to Foley and Foley comes to me. I would not name any men 1o be put in at headquarters and told Foley that I was fighting for & prin- ciple and our rights. The joker in all this was that if they could have worked such & scheme with me they could go to kickers in other districts and say: “See here, Maxwell has been called down and he’s had t0 quit, and now you've got to.” Now they can have a new election. I won't go near | it. ‘Our twenty-five are entitled to seats if | anybody ever was. he result of all this will ‘be that the Junta will go to pieces. There is dissatisfaction with these dictators eéverywhere. I tried 1o get a constitution and by-laws adopted and told Suilivan and McNab'that it was nothing but a disorganized political mob, but they wanted to be the law, as they sre. McNab is one of the most unreliable and de- ceitful men I ever met. I said to a friend of | his some time ago, ““What sort of a fellow is this McNab that you've{;ot me tied up with?"” He laughed and said, “Well, he's like that dog in ireland that would go part of the road with evel?bodyfl’ Popper 1s unreliable, Sullivan has fied to me and Braunhart is a political im- beciie, and so excusable for anything he may do. They are the most unsatisiactory men ty do politics with I ever saw, and I'm sorry I ever had anyihing to do with them. There isn’t one of them who conld go up against & fair primary and carry his own district. MERCANTILE LIBRARY.

Captain Lees received a dispatch on Tuesday from Chief of Police Glass of Los Angeles to arrest E. J. Dole, an attorney of that city, who was wanted there for foregery. Yesterday the Captain received another dispatch that Dole had writtn to a friend from the Occidental Hotel en Monday. Detectives Whitaker and Seymour and Policeman Hall were detailed on the case and arrested Dole in the Occidental last evening and locked him up in the City Prison. The Captain immedistely wired Chlef Glass of the arrest and to send a man onto take Dole back. The Captain thought the case an important one from the urgency of the dispatches. Dole said he was at a loss to know for what he was arrested. He had gone to Los Angeles in 1836 for his health, and took up ranching for a year or two. Then he commenced to practice law.
