Fighting Panther for Four Hours.
Friar's Point Miss Gazette.

Our friend Bob Bobo, who wears the
honors rs the champion bear hunter
must now pull in his horns, as from all
accounts he has been beaten by the eX-
plot of Mr. G. jenkins, who last Thurs
day night killed panther that meas
ured eleven feet four inches in length,
nine inches across the foot and weighed,
after being skinned, 302 pounds. The
monster early in the night came up near
the residence and got altcra SOW that had
pigs, The sow took refuge under the
house. Mr.. jenkins hearing the fuss
went ont, and, seeing the brute, got his
gun and dogs and gave chase, running
him mile and a half, and after fighting
him for four hours. during which all his
dogs were routed and all his ammunition
expended, he finally killed him with his
knife. This is the largest panther we
ever heard Of and Mr.. n. b. jenkins on
Tuesday brought part Of the scalp and a
foot to town as trophies of the monster.
Our friend Bob will now have to take a
back seat until he can hunt up larger
one.

Liver Complaint.

This disease may be said to proceed almost in
variably from the stomach being out of order In
the first place. By the stomach being out of or
der the blood also gets out of order and Why All
the blood in the human body passes through the
liver every few minutes to have the bilious mat
ter separated from 1t. If there be any scrofulous
taint other impurity in the blood, II will surely
be deposited i'll the liver along with the bile ~
and by, however, these impurities increasing, viii
render the blood watery, and render its motion
torpid; then 1t Will cease to perform its duty of
slraining out the bile. Only poison will be lef in
the liver and the result win be obsructed, in
famed and swollen liver ending in disease Such
is the theory and such the climax, as proven by
facts. The symptoms crowd rapidly upon one
another-a continued pain or tenderness in the
right side, inducing emacatiOn and weakness;
cough with eXpectoratiOn, dyspepsia, high-color-
ed urine, yellowness of the eyes, fever and quick
pulse. 1t is impossible To mistake the disease by
these symptoms There is only one way of cur
ing Liver Complaint and that Is, 10 strike at the
root. To do this, You must act on the stomach,
the blood, the liver, and the general health Mt
the same time. NEGETlsE alone will do this, and
will effect speedy cure. See testimonials.

National Movement NOrthwestward.

The sales of Northern Pacific Rail-
road land in 1879 amounted to 16l, ,1O4
acres; in 1880, to 727, ,713 acres. All in
dications point to larger purchase Of
farms on the line of the road this year
than ever before, and to an unprece-
dented immigration, which will COM
mence with the earliest opening of
spring travel.
There is one finished line of railroad
operating across the continent. Four
others are rapidly constructing. The
material development of the nation is
on east and west lines. The largest
and most important development, po-
litically and materially, will be on the
line through what is popularity known
as the northwest. The march of i'm
migration is now obliquely in that di-
rectiOn, founding states as it advances.
California, Oregon, Washington Ter
ritOry and Alaska are about to receive
immense accessiOns to their pOpula-
tion. There is nowhere else to go.
Texas is filling up too rapidly for en-
igrants who have little more capital
than their hands. New Mexico will
never be able to support large pOpu-
lation. To the great northwest they
must come. There is to be the limit
of the movement to the west and south
west. The railroads that are in opera
tion and projected, the canals and wa
ter ways to be constructed, are in
tended to transact the business of COM
ing millions. There are now not much
more than a million people on the
shores of the Pacific. There are men
in the prime of life now who will live
to see ten millions in the same region.
And the principal agent in the change
will be the Northern Pacific road.

The manufacture of thread from
wood, for crochet and sewing purposes,
has, 1t is said, recently been started at
the Ably Cotton MILL near the town of
Norrkoping, in the middle of Sweden.
The manufacture has arrived at such
state Of perfection that it can produce,
at much lower price, thread of as
fine quality as "Clark's," and has
from this circumstance been called
thread "a la Clark" 1t is wound in
balls by machinery, either by hand or
steam, which, with the labelling, takes
one minute and twelve seconds, and
the balls are packed up in cardboard
boxes, generally ten in box. Plenty
of orders from all parts of Sweden
have come in, but as the works are
not in proper order, there has hardly
been time to complete them all. The
production gives fair promise of sue
cess, and it is expected to be very i'm
portant for home consumption.

Lister & Co., of New Tacoma, are
preparing to increase the capacity of
their iron works at that place. They
now have at work in their foundry
and machine shops twenty men on
full time, need six or eight additional
moulders, and have orders from the
railroad company for castings for $50
cars, which will amount in all to 300
tons. There are now in their yard $50
tons of Oswego pig iron, and 200 tons
more ordered and OH the way here.
Also, 80 tons of Scotch pig iron, or
dered from San Francisco. During
the time they are at work on this con-
tract of car castings, they will, judg-
ing from the past, do repair work for
the company which willrequire about
$50 tons of castings.

exhibit of the debts of the most i'm

latest obtainable data. 1t appears
from this statement that Great Brit
ain and the Netherlands are the only
countries of Europe that have reduced
their debts since 1865. The reduction
in Great Britain has been Sl43, 99O, 900,
and in the Netherlandf, S23, 800, 900;
while in the seventeen most import

of their debts has increased $4,000, 900,

Land Ownership In England.

Recent reports from England indi-
cate that land agitation is imminent.
AS in Ireland, the land there is owned
by comparatively few wealthy land
lords, who exact eXOrbitant rents.
The tenants who till the land have no
prospect of ever becoming its owners,
while the labOrers are the most joyless
and hopeless peasantry in the world.
In 1860 the land owners of England
numbered 100000, and formed with
their families, one in every seven of
the population of the kingdom. To-
day the land owners number less than
10000, and with their families consti-
tute one in lis Of the population.
While the population has been multi
piled by four, the owners have been di-
vided by four. The means by which
the land of England has been gotten
hold of by few have been in direct
violation of every principal of equity,
and in number of instances without
a show of legal authority. II the pres
ent system of enormous holdings is
broken up, the reform movement must
come from the great landless class of
artisans and tradesmen who now pos
sess suffrage, a power that is destined
to work great changes in England ana
throughout Europe. The large agri-
cultural laboring class have neither
the spirit nor the intelligence to exert
political pressure of any sort and the
tenant farmers are too small body to
be formidable.

The legislature of South Carolina
has passed an anti-dueling law. It
not only makes it murder to kill an
antagonist in a duel and provides q
maximum penalty of two years i'm
prisonment and $1,000 fine on any one
connected with the challenge or hos
tile meeting, but requires members Of
the legislature and state officers to
swear that they have not taken part
in duel since the passage Of this law,
and makes them promise not to engage
in duels during their official terms.
Officers of the peace and public prose-
cutors are required to take oath that
they will enforce the law. This prom
ises to entirely root out the practice Of
dueling.

In Yakima county, Washington
Territory, two lodges of the free quartz
have been worked with the most
primitive appliances, yielding SIS per
ton at the groupings and reaching S42
at depth of 60 feet. These lodges
show to be of uniform good width and,
what is better, demonstrate the pres
ence of no refractory metal. As that
region is almost entirely unprospected
il Is fair to infer that better lodges are
yet to be discovered. The long dry
season in that section Is invaluable to
the prospector and will yet inure to
the benefit of the eastern slope and its
people.

A CONTINENT IN ARMS.-The Pail
Mall Gazette says: The leaders of the
German army are perfecting its organ
ization day by day, never resting con-
tent as long as there is anything to be
done. The measures passed this spring
place an additional number of men at
the immediate disposal Of the govern
ment in case of war, but only from
the first of April next. To utilize the
additional force new plan of mObili-
cation has been drawn up, which will
come into effect on the 1st of April.
The Cologne Gazette gives, as the pro-
duction Of the new scheme, an infan-
try force of l, 103 batalions Immediately
available in case of war. Some of
these would act as depot batalions or
for fOrtresses, but the net result will be
779 batalions ready for offensive action
on any frontier within eleven days
from the order to mobolize. An enor-
nous force of cavalry would be on the
frontier even more quickly, and as
there is no other European army
which can mobilize with the same
speed, it is probable that all wars In
which Germany may take part will
commence with invasion of the neigh
boris territory. All the powers know
this, and are quietly organizing fOrti-
fled camps and fortresses to bar the
way and give them a little time for
preparation. But their defensive
measures are SO clearly directed
against Germany that Berlin becomes
irritated, and Won Moltke gets leave
for new measures, and So the curious
race goes on, aud will 60 on till the
crash comes.

needed improvement in southern pub

passes bill to make dueling crime.
Such action has been taken by the

that the law will be vigorously exc
cuted, and the good example followed
