GOVERNOR PIERCE.


Some Facts Reiasing 20 the Man and
his Appointments.
The following special to the
Chicago Inter-O Ocean gives an &C
count Of the appointment of Gov
ernOr Pierce:
Colonel G. A. Pierce of the
Chicago Daily News, has been APP
pointed governor Of Dakota. There
have been a great many applicants
for this Office, most Ct them being
supported by one faction or an
other within the territory. There
were also several candidates from the
outside, but more or less opposition
to all OF them. The president final
~ concluded to take the matterin his
own hands, and he sent for dele
gate Raymond and asked him il
the appointment Of Colonel Pierce
would be acceptable. Raymond
said it would be entirely so, and
the president at once instructed
that the nomination be made. The
The announcement will be q sur
prise to Colonel Pierce, for he has
not been q candidate for any Office,
and was not aware that his name was
under consideration for any office.
II is the presidents own personal
selection, and IN expression Of his
confidence in Colonel Pierce. No
faction in the territory can claim
credit for his selection, but be will be
entirely independent of them all. It
is not known whether Colonel Pierce
will accept, but the appointment is a
fiattering one.

THE LAW IN KANSAS,

A writer in the Chicago Tribune
thus describes how prohibition does
prohibit in Kansas:
It il very common to hear the re
mark used in Missouri.
20, they are drinking just as
much whiskey over in Kansas as
they were before the prohibitory
law was passed"
The wholesale liquor dealers in
Kansas City all insist that they are
shipping more whiskey into Kan
sas than ever. At the same time
these wholesale dealers are willing
to pay any amount Of money to
have the p~rohibitory law repealed.
l have made close examination all
over Kansas and l say without hest
tation that the new law is a success.
Whiskey is not being sold. 1t is
not being drank here, at least pub
licly.
The other evening l fell in with
some convivial fellows down at
Newton, on the Santa Fe road.
Among them were two officers of the
army. There was a great desire to
get something to drink, and as ! am
not q bigoted teetotaler, | went along
with them. We dropped into sew
eral old places, but they were dry.
The owners said they could not sell
anything. Finally one of the Off.
GERS met an old army friend who
had a saloon. He engaged to give
us something to drink. And where
do you think he took US? Why, he
led the way to a dark cellar under
his saloon, and there, while we bal
lanced our selves on some rickety
boards half covered in water, the
saloon-keeper drew us some beer.
"Be quiet, boys" he said as he
handed it out. ut will cost me
$500 if the darned Christians hear
Of this"
THE NEXT THING TO PROHIBITION.
Tie other day as the Union Pa
cific ran into Rossville the conduc.
tor said:
"You car get all the whiskey you
want in this town"
"Yes." said the brakeman, there's
more whiskey drank here than ever
before"
Well / stayed in Rossville over
night. | found every saloon locked
up. Money couldn't buy a drink
in the town. The week before a
lame man who had been hobbling
around on an artificial leg was con.
victed Of selling whiskey and fined
$40. But the fine was rcmitted on
account of his being a cripple.
Still the "roughs" all said. 'there's
plenty ofwhiskey to be had"

Given by Ice Pilot Norman of the
Thetis-The DepIorabIe Condition in
Which They Were Found.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., July is.
Norman, ice pilot of the Thetis, who
was the first man to enter Lieutenant
Greely's camp, gives a graphic report
of the scene. He says:
cat eight O'Clock on the evening of
June %, having previously found record
three miles north of Cape Sabine, we
proceeded in steam launch to the spot
indicated as the camping ground of the
Greely party. As we approached
within 200 yards of it we saw a man
staggering down the hillside toward
an ice fort. He held small flagstaff in
his hand attached to which was piece
of handkerchief This
HE FEEBLY WAVED.
AS soon as the steam launch struck,
Captain Ash of the Bear and myself
jumped out. The man proved to be
Sergeant Long, one of the Greedy party.
He had haggard, ghostly look and was
hardly able to stand, and muttered out
his words. We asked him how all the
hands were. He replied: "There are
"SEvEN OF US LEFT"
sI ran up Immediately to the place
where he pointed out the camp. Captain
ASH and Lieutenant Colwell went back to
the launch to bring some pemmican bis
cults and stimulating drink. When |
reached within few yards of the tent
cried out: Cheer up Greely.'
"Is that you, Norman?" family replied
Greely, who knew my voice, although
three years had elapsed since l bade him
farewell on the Proteus in Lady Franklin
Sound. fierce storm was blowing and
the tent had fallen or its wretched occu-
pants. cut and tore it open, entered
and there saw with horror the pale, shrv-
eled form of Lieutenant Greedy lying in
the middle of the camp encased
IN HIS SLEEPING BAG.
Sergeant Ellison lay there with his
hands and feet Topped off, caused by
frosts the first of the previous year.
Steward Beiderback lay listlessly in front
of Greely. Private Connell pointed at
by his comrades as dying, was reclining
Sergeant Brainerd laid alone under shel-
ter of a corner of the tent. Immediately
Captain Ash, Lieutenant Colwell and the
began to administer

of the lightest description. The men
were at first ravenous and loudly insisted
on getting more and more food. We re-
fused to crafty their wishes, fearing dis
astrous results from overheating. The
launch was dispatched to the steamer,
and brought on shore to our aid Drs.
Green and Ames and Commander
Schley. Preparations were at ogce
made to convey the party on board.
All the records were gathered
up and everything worth saving was, car
ried down to the launch. We left moth
ing behind but some clothing and a+few
cans of wretched food on which Grtely
and his men had been living for weeks.
This consisted chiefly of scraps of Seal
skin cut up in small pieces about the size
of cent piece. 1t had been stewed and
converted into kind of broth with some
shrimps aud sea-weed. This repulsiye

QUITE A ROMANTIC AFFAIR.
Tho Marriage of Mr.. Hugh Atkin-
son and Miss Clara Holt.

Quite an interesting romance wa
developed in our town Monday morn
ing last. Miss Clara Holt, q bril-
liant and accomplished young lady
of our town, has for some week.
been visiting her two married sis
ters, one the wife Of Hon. w. W
Stone, and the other the wife Of DIR
Owen Stone, Of Washington county
Miss, and on her way home in com
pany with DR.. Stone and lady, our
handsome and gallant young towns
man, Mr.. Hugh Atkinson, met them
at Vicksburg and coolly informed
them that he would take charge OF
Mrs. Clara Atkinson, Miss Clara
Holt, that was. The whole party
came on to Summit together to visit
Mrs. Holt, and to the great surprise
of that good lady young Atkinson
led her daughter to her presence as
his wife, they having been married
on the 10th Of August last, without
the knowledge of the parents cf
either party, and never made it
known until now when young At
kinson desired to go into business
in another State, and desired to take
his wife with him. We are told
that Mrs. Holt was astonished be
yond measure, and in her dignified
and accomplished manner admins
tered to the young couple a severe
rebuke for their treatment Of her, to
all OF which young Atkinson was
gravely attentive, but insisted upon
taking his wife with him, and the
good lady at last did the good
thing and gave them a nice break
fast and her blessing, and they took
the south bound train at half past
eight amid the astonishmeut of the
town. The last we heard of the

Killed by a Meteor.

A Mr.. Julius Robbs, of Mont
gomery county, Arkansas, is re-
ported to have been killed recently
by a meteor. 1t descended through
tree of which it cut off limb and,
striking Robbs, went obliquely
through, him into the ground. 1t
was dug up and found to be LUMP
abouc the size of teacup, composed
of impure iron.
If this story is true it is the first
instance. in this country of any one
being killed by a falling meteor.
Such a casualty is not improbable.
The wonder is it does not occur
frequently, for astronomers tell Us
there are between three and four
hundred millions of meteors falling
upon the earth every twenty-four
hours. They are of oil sizes, from
bodies weighing tons down to grains.
In the showers Of the November
ring, meteors fall almost like rain
and they would be very destructive
to life but for the fact that the
atmosphere burns them up, or
rather converts them into vapor. be-
fore they reach the ground. The
meteor, coming from the depths OF
space, approaches the sun with .
velocity a hundred times greater
than that of rife ball, and meet
ing the earth's atmosphere, is
kindled into flame and dissipated
into vapor in a few seconds, unless
it has a mass of several pounds or
sufficient to resist the destructive
heat it generates by friction on the
air, when it may pass through to
the surface. But comparatively few
Of them are of such size. II how
ever there were no atmosphere they
would all come to the ground, and
whatever object they might strike
would be penetrated. 1t 10 not easy
10 conceive the effect of q body, no
matter how small, moving at the rate
of 80 miles in a second. Even q
mustard seed, with such velocity,
would go through q mans body
Neridian Mercury.
