cisty, the object Of which can be
learned from the following extract
from the salutatory published at the
beginning Of its flth volume: 5
We shall offer no apology for the
boldness, or what has been called
the "audacity" Of our teachings, or
for the plainness of speech in which
we have couched our expression OF
thought. The urgent necessity OF
the times demands that strong meas
ures shall be taken. The rapid in
crease Of social crimes, the terrible
manifestations Of lust and rspine
that occur daily, the intemperance,
dishonesty, disease, insanity, sui
eide, and slow deaths by headache
show that the world b ripe for this
reform; and il 1t does not have it,
something worse even than our
present woes will hasten our destruc-
ton.
There IL halt or standstill no more
in man than in the divine forces Of
nature. He must keep moving on.
ward and upward TO larger truths
and greater excellence, or he must
retrograde. Infinite wisdom never
defects nor falls back, and the
highth Of human wisdom is to fol-
low straight after it. More and
more certain am I, that controlling
eur passional nature, making 1t
subservient to reason and conscience,
setting our lives in harmonious re-
lations with nature, obeying the laws
she has established in generation
and which only reasoning beings
disobey-is the only way out of
al the trouble and suffering human
ity now endures.
The "Alpha" Is . Monthly, aud
costs II per year. Its aim is COM
mendable, and 1t deserves the en-
couragement Of all who wish to see
the human race improve and pros
per, physically and morally.

IT il Is credibly reported tina

-Ir is credibly reported that,
at the beginning Of the Jupiter
Owyhee trouble, George DAILY said he
would not permit his company to be
involved in expensive litigation. 1t
10 probable that a lawsuit which
would have quieted the question OF
title would not have cost one-f"urth
y much as the squabblc which re-
suited rom Mr.. Days defiant stti.
tude. ASS business man Mr.. DAILY
therefore made great mistake in
allowing himself to be drawn into an
armed conflict.

-ANorHRR widow has mystic

ANOTHER widow has myster
iously disappeared, the remarkable
feature Of it being that she was q
Maryland widow and about to be
married. With the Georgia widow
who disappeared q week ago this
makes two widows now missing. At
this rate It doesn't seem as much fun
to be q widow as some folks have
supposed it is. There is a chance
that the Georgia widow will soon
turn up, as she has written that
revenue officers have carried her of
for unpaid whisky tax, and the fact
being that the government doesn't
take widows in payment even of the
whisky tax she will NO doubt be
finally returned to her children and
friends. If there are any more
handsome widows left it might be
worth while for them to lock them.

Siberia. BY this time nearly every
respectable member of Russian So

David w. Parker, son of D. w.
Parker, ST., of Scriven county, was
killed by lightning in the field of his

Astonishing success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrnp to
let it's wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing consumption,
severe coughs, Group, asthma, pneumo-
MIA, and in fact all throat and lung dis
eases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case. and we consider it the
duty of all druggists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported. Such
a medicine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your drug
gist about it. Sample bottles to try
sold at 10 cents. Regular size IS cents.

Indian, Scare.

The Idaho Democrat has the follow
ing about the Indians up north :
"There is some uneasiness felt in the
southern portion of Owyhee county at
the disposition manifested by the In
dams on Duck Valley Reservation.
This reservation seems to be the home
of some of the Nevada Piutes, small
bands of Idaho Piutes and remnant
of the Nevada Shoshones, some of the
Bruneau Indians and other renegades.
1t is said that the whole number of In
dams congregated at the place amounts
to near 1900. They are represented TO
be of the lowest type of cricket-eaters.
One white man is reported to have
been killed recently by them, and other
acts of violence and insolence are re-
ported

The Inhabitants of the Ceast.

A Eureka correspondent of the San
Francisco Hebrew Observer, in speak
ing of the fire and it's consequences,
among other things, says: Amidst all
this misery and misfortune, one feels a
peculiar pride in being numbered among
the inhabitants of the Pacific Coast,
and being counted as one of a people
whose generous impulses has not a
parallel on earth The cry of our un-
fortunate people had barely been heard,
when thousands of dollars in money
and whole train loads of provisions and
bedding were Immediately sent for our
relief. The humble denizens of the
little mining camps, scattered through
our sage-clad mountains, WED in their
generous contributions with their more
opulent fellow citizens inhabiting the
imperial cities by the sea. If the
mountains and valleys of the coast
shower their varied wealth upon our
people, they are ever ready to shower
their bounties with lavish hands upon
the needy and distressed of all nations,
creeds and tongues.

The Plantation OF Great Cities.

The population of the great cities Of
the world is q matter of perennial in
terest. According to the latest official
estimates in each city, or the latest CEN
sus, where these are not attainable, they
range as follows: London, of course,
heads the list with it's 1858, ,484, Paris
comes next with 1851, 1872, by the GEN.
sus of 1872; then Pekin, with 1,50O,-
O05, and Canton, with 1900. 600; next
comes New York, with 1,069, 1862, and
closes the list of those having more than
], 900, 900 inhabitants. Of those hav-
ing less than 1000, 900 and more than
500, 900, Berlin comes first, with 994.-
343 then Philadelphia. with $50, ,856 !;
next Toxic, Japan, the Yedo, of the old
biographies, with 900, 900; Vienna, $780,
54S; st. Petersburg, 669,74 Bombay,
GA ,4O5; Kioto, Japan, $50, 900; Glas.
cow, 555, 939; Ozaka, Japan, $4,000;
Brooklyn, 527,83O; Liverpool, 527, ,083:
st. Louis claims 500, 900, and, fl allowed
her own estimate, heads the list of those
ranging downward, from 500, 1000 to
$50, Then follow Naples, with
457, ,4O7; Chicago, with 100000; Cal
cutta, 429 595; Nanking, 100000; Ma
dras, 397, ,552; Hamburg, 1913, ,588; Bir-
mingham, 377, ,346; Manchester, 359, 213;
Baltimore, 355, 600; Boston, 1854. 765;
Shanghae, 100000; Dublin, 314, ,666;
Buda.P .Pesth. 314, 401; Amsterdam, 3O2,-
266; San Francisco, 100000; Leeds,
298, 189; Rome, 282, 214; Sheffield, 282,
1870; Cincinnati, 290, 900; Breslau, $780,
845; Melbourne, $50, ,678; Havana, 25O,
900. Thus it will be seen that there
are thirty.nine cities, each having 250,
600 inhabitants, or more, supposing
none to have been omitted, and an ag.
gregate Of about "a, ,000, 900.

The Oldest Obelisk.

Next after the greatest, it may be in
order to notice the oldest of the existing
obelisks. This is the one close to the
modern village of Matareeah, or the site
of Helopolis, in the land of Goshen,
near Cairo. A single perpendicular
line of hieroglyphics ornaments each
side and records its erection by Osirta-
sen l., or probably about B. 9. 5000.
The inscription, with one slight e1cep-
ton, is the same on all sides. A myriad
of wasps' nests now completely obscure
the carvings on two of the surfaces.
Authorities differ regarding its height,
but si1ty-eight feet two inches is given
as the latest measurement by Mariette
Bey. Nearly six feet of the length is
buried in the accumulation of soil de-
posted by the Nile; and the stone, even
at the surface of the ground, presents
sad evidences of the destruction caused
by repeated visits of the water. The
opposite sides only are equal, the meas-
urements at the base being six feet one
inch and six feet three inches. Pococke
gives six feet and six feet four inches as
his finding in the same connection. The
southern side of the shaft is the best
preserved, while the western is in the
worst condition on account of having
scaled to o height of about fifteen feet.
This obelisk is supposed to have stood
at the entrance to the great temple OF
the sun, where Noses studied theology.
Remnants of the temenos or inclosure
of this sanctuary still remain. .-Phs'a.
