BARNEY BARNATO IS DEAD. Or of Fsbnlou Tb Modern Monts Christ Commit Hvkfaii by Leaping Iota th Hen. London, June 16. It is announced that Barney Barnato, the South African diainord king, who was among the passengers from Funchai, island of Maderia, had committed suicide by leaping overboard. Ills body was recovered. for some time is the probable cause of Barnato's tragic end. The late Barney Barnato was in many respects the most remarkable speculator of the century. Of all the Englishmen who have taken part in the development of South Africa, two only have secured a world-wid- e reputation. These are Cecil Rhodes and Barnett Isaacs, more often and less respectfully styled Barney. Barnato waa an assumed name, a sort of stage name, for he began his life in South Africa by exhibiting a trick donkey tome twenty-fiv- e years ago. He waa then 20 years of age. Barney Barnato waa an English Jew, and illustrated in an extraordinary way the financial genius of hie race. Up to the point where hie fortunes began to decline he made money by leaps and bounds, and in 1895, when his good fortuua was at its zenith, it wu estimated that he controlled interests worth in the neighborhood of It was the fashion to call him the riiAiest man in the world. At that time he was virtually the king of the London money market. In the autumn of 1895, when the boom in Kaffira, the shares of the comparatively new gold mines of the Transvaal, South Africa, was at its height, every man, woman and child in London with money to invest invested it in Kaffirs. For months it was the controlling passion in London and it was most rampart in Paris aud Berlin. The shares went to unheard of figures, and fortunes were made in a day. While in Africa he married and had three children, two boys and a daughter. He always had; or professed to have, boundless faith in the future of the Transvaal, and his person al popularity waa great among all classes of Africanders. Barney Barnato's suicide tnust cause widespread ruin among small investors. They had pinned their faith to him. The big speculators, having had inside knowledge of his serious condition, have either cleared out or been manipulating his stock with profit His death has convinced the public of the utter rottenness of the South African boom, which now easily takes rank as the biggest stock speculation scheme on record.

Charlie n Western Union Erswell, a operator here, was attacked by a party of drunken soldiers from Fort Russell, just as he was reselling his home in a lonesome suburb of the city. Erswell was knocked off his bicycle by the soldiers, who started to beat him. He defended himself with his revolver and shot one of the soldiers through the body. He then reached his home, which was attacked by the soldiers with rocks. Every window in the house was broken and the doors battered in. Erswell shot a second man who waa attempting to get into the house. City policemen arrived on the scene at this time, and the soldiers retreated, carrying both their wounded comrades with them. Later they were taken to the post hospital, where it waa found one was fatally wounded and the other seriously. A patrol from Fort Russell waa sent out to bring all soldiers from the town, in order to prevent further trouble. well-know- . Antt-Ole- o Bill M(ned. anti-butteri- oleo-morgari- ne Denver, June 16. A strike of fabulous richness has been mede in the ninth level of the Uregory-Bobtamine at Central City. The real value of the ore found cannot be learned, as the operators of the mine refuse to divulge it and have placed an armed guard at the mine, but it is known that the vein struck is two feet thick and so full of wire gold as to run many thousand dollars to the ton. What nukes the find more interesting is the fact that the Gregory was the first lode mine opened in Colorado and has been worked constantly for the past 38 years. It was the announcement of Gregorys find in the gulch afterwards named for him that produced the rush to Colorado in 1859. The latest strike in the Gregory is 950 feet below the eurface and is said by those who have seen specimens of the ore to be the richest ever made in the mine. il Indian Dlaantlsflod.

Omaha, June 16 Thi officials of the Union Pacific have , received a communication from EL Y. Debs relative to commonwealth plan his in Utah. Debs desires large concessions of land embracing many hundreds of acres. The railroad company haa plenty of land in that country, yet the kind Debs wants, suitable for an agricultural community, as well as commercial enterprises, is valuable and on the market at good figures. The matter of transportation for the members of the Debs company will be arranged aa with other colonies desiring rates, but with the land donation proposition it is different It has always been the policy of the Union Pacific company to donate lands for a colony to a limited extent and to encourage immigration by such means along its line, but the Debs scheme is much more elaborate than the company has ever been called upon to deal with before. Flnaneo Commltto on Load Ora. Washington, June 16. The Republican members of the committee on finance heard the representatives of the two sides of the controversy over lead ore. There has been a persistent effort since the committee increased the rate from lc to l)fc a pound, to have the house rate restored, and even to secure the restoration of the rate in the Wilson law, which is c a pound. The contest, in a general way, is between the smelters, who wsnt to secure the fluxing ores from Mexico, and the miners of these ores in Idaho, Montana, Colorado and other states. The smelting interest was represented at the meeting by Senators Thurston of Nebraska and Baker of Kansas, and the mining interest by Senators Carter of Montana and Shoup-oIdaho.

About eighteen miles west of Pine Ridge agency, extending along the ridge of a plateau, is the trench where lay 130 Sioux warriors. The government has marked the plaee where many of the soldiers are buried with a fitting monument, and now the remaining Sioux braves want to erect a shaft fifteen feet high, six feet at the base and tapering to an apex of six inches at the top.

The Illinois bill, which prohibits the coloring of butterine or for the purpose of the market, has been signed by the governor. The bill was fought through the legislature by the Elgin dairymen and was bitterly opposed by butterine makers all over the state. As a result of the signing of the bill the manufacture of butterine in Illinois will practically cease on July 1. Four firms are engaged in the business in Chicago and thirty million pounds of the imitation butter is turnout every year, on which an internal revenue tax of 3 cents per pound or 9600,000 is paid.
