a CASE OF ANCMYLOnIs.
The Joints OF . Mans BODY Recon-.
ing ImmOvabie.

New YORK, Nov. z.-The 7fmes' Elmira
IN. W special says: A physician Of this
city recently visited Jonathan Bass of Cam.
bra, Niagara county. whose case is believed
to be without q parallel in medical records.
Bass is Sc years Of age. In the Summer Of
rS4S he was seized with sharp pain in the
bottom Of his right foot. No cause for it
could be discovered. The foot and leg be.
came greatly swollen, and during nine years
all the joints in his body slowly changed into
solid bone. In 1857 he was placed on an
invahd's bed and has never been removed
from it, So completely consolidated are all
his joints, including the spine. that he may
be lifted by placing one hand under his head
and one under his heels, his weight being
only IS pounds. The bones of the fingers of
his right hand, of the entire left hand and Of
the toes of both feet have been entirely ab-
sorbed, and the aesh Of the hngers and toes
hangs down like a fringe. His jaws are
tightly locked. but he manages to cat the
heartiest meals without mastieation aSsd
without suffering Inconvenience. Pork and
other meats is cut in thin slips which he
draws into his mouth BY sucking through
narrow opening between his upper and lower
teeth.l Since 1869 he has been totally blind
His heart is Ave inches lower than the usual
position of that organ, but is perfectly
sound, as are all his vital parts. The nails
on his fingers have grown to nearly y
foot in length. Bass is man of more than
average intelligence and keeps himself post
ed on all the questions of the day. He con-.
verses with ease and is lively and cheerful.
His constitutional health is SO good that ply.
siclans agree that he will live beyond the al
lotted time of most active men.

HOW THEY HIBERNATE.

If any one imagines that Dakotians, sim
ply because they enjoy winters which, to
the unaccustOmed fastener. seem little
less than Arctic in their frigidlty, retire to
the innermOst snuggery of their houses and
hibernate sluggishly until the mellowing
spring time thaw sets in, he would be much
mistaken. The DakOtian is never inactive.
When his wheat crop is harvested
and the cash he receives for it
is deposited in the bank, he does
not retire into his shell and simply
exist until the time of billiards has gone
by. Far from it. While all things may
come round to him who waits, your true
DakOtian believes in aiding the progress of
events. 1t does not content him that his
territory has already grown marvelously
and that it has already been extensively ad-
vertised. He deems it his duty to make it
still better known and to aid its growth
still further. He finds. therefore. that the
leisure which the long winter affords him
answers admirably for his purpose. He is
enabled to do that sagaciOus planning
which is half the battle, and before the
spring is over the result of his shrewd
scheming is apparent. Towns spring up
where before was nothing but the naked
prairie; wheat fields take the place of the
virgin sod; cities extend their limits to ac-
cOmmodate the business pressure caused by
increased enterprise, and colony after
colony enters the territory as result of his
judicious advice. If it is alternating it IS
of very desirable kind, and sort which
Dakota cannot encourage too much. And,
after all, the average resident of the East
is much misnformed as to the severity of
the Dakota winters. Outdoor life in Da-
kota, with the eXhilarating atmosphere,
even in midwinter is far more comfortable
than exposure to the weather farther east.
If there be any doubters let them visit the
land of the Dacotahs about the time the ice
carnival begins in st. Paul and be convinced

MAYOR RICE ACCEPTS.

Mavor RICE'S letter of acceptance is
model production. lis seldom that such
a thorough and comprehensive discussion
of so many subjects is embraced in so brief
a space. And YET he leaves no room for
doubt as to what position he occupies on
ali the great national issues now agitatlng
the public mind. His exposition of the
tariff question is one of the clearest and
most practical that it has been our good
fortune TO read. The whole subject, and
its relations to the varied Industrial inter
ests of the country, are presented in a nut
shell. His argument in favor of reducing
the tariff to q revenue standard IS so
convincing that his opponent Will
not attempt to answer it. HIS
views Oh the labor question are equally
clear and practical. He shows a wonder
ful familiarity with both Of these subjects,
which is singularly fortunate. for both OF
them are of prime Importance to the con-
ytituency which Mr.. RICE will be called
upon to represent in the next congress.
And it has been the misfortune of this
same constituency to have been misrepre-
sented in respect TO both of them for some
time past. The vast commercial Interests
of the Twin Cities demand that the district
shall be represented in congress by a genu-
me tariff reformer. The great body of
wage earners cry aloud for representative
who will give a respectful ear to the voice
of their pleading and who will use his hon
est endeavors to promote their welfare.
Such a representative will be found in

THE WISCONSIN CONTEST.


In discussing the reasons which influ-
enced the denomination of Gov. RUsK by
the Wisconsin Republicans and the sort of
campaign that party has already begun to
wage in his behalf, the New York Star very
properly calls attention to the fact that one
argument, and in fact the chief one adj
vanced by the Republicans, should meet
with a severe rebuke, nothing, indeed,
short of the defeat of the whole ticket.
Recognizing the fact that there is a strong
tendency among the different elements COM
posing the Republican party in Wisconsin
to go over to the Democracy; aware that
the vote to be cast by the Prohibition
lists will weaken the dominant party
greatly; conscious that there will be
a great Norwegian revolt, the Republic
cans have reSOrUed to desperate measures.
They declare that Gov. RUsK must be re-
elected because of his riot record, and ad-
vance the impudent assertion that unless
his election does follow, anarchy will take
possession of the state unchecked. This,
of course, is the most monstrous sophistry.
The Democratic party is as much opposed
in all its published declarations and in its
actions to anarchy and anarchists, as the
Republican party. The state of Wisconsin
would be as safe in the hands of the Demo-
Gratis as it would with the Republicans,
safer, in tact, for with the election of Demo
cratic officials the numerous rings which
have oppressed the state would be broken
and something like honest and economical
government restored.

AN HONEST KICK.

The overshadOwing domination OF the
wheat rink in the Republican organization
in this state has had the effect of stirring up
the old time Republicans, who have never
consented to bow the knee to the BAAL of
the MiIlerS' association. The Sauk Rapids
Sentinel whose veteran editor helped to
organize the Republican party, bewails the
depth of degradation to which the old or
ganiZatiOn has descended. The Sentinel
saws that the farmers of the state have been
BETRAYED by the Republican bosses, who
have transferred the Republican Organiza-
ton into the hands of the Millers' assOcia-
ton. As good Republican paper,
the Sentinel deplOreS the fact. but
saws there is no use in at
tempting to conceal it. And while he is
10th to desert the party because of his long
time associa ton with it, the editor frankly
admits that the Republican state ticket
merits defeat at the hands of the people.
The Seminal characterizes the ticket as a
pupDet in the hands of debased millionaire
ring which has corrupted and disrupted the
Republican party through the disgraceful
use of money, and is attempting to place
men in power who have not the respect of
the people or of either party. This is very
plain, talk, but it is honestly spoken, and
is no doubt the echo of a sentiment in
thousands of Republican hearts in this state.
The independent Republicans of this state
who hold that the interests of the people
are of higher consequence than the interests
of party, will join hands with the DEM
ocracy in overthrOwing this corrupt ring
combination,

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

The Litchfield News-Ledger is a repre-
sentative Republican newspaper. and it
frankly comedies that the Republican can
didate for congress in the Third district is
not going to have smooth sailing. 1t calls
attention to the fact that STRAITS majority
two years ago is not fair criterion to es-
innate HEKBERT's strength by. Major
STAIT was an uncOmmonly popular can
didate, and was stronger than his party in
the district. In addition to this fact the
Litchfeld paper says that Judge MAC
DONALD is an able and personally popular
man, who is going to pile up votes sur
prisingly. So upon the whole the News
Ledger is rather in a despondent mood
over HERBERT's prospects. 1t is begin
ming to dawn upon the Republican mind
generally that the people are taking a
hand in the political contest this fall. and
that there IS going to be mighty rattling
of dry bones in Minnesota this year.

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT,

They all want him. Every class of citi-
zens has marked him for its own. The
laboring man sees in him a friend, the
capitalist knows him to be a fair-minded
man. Without distinction of race, creed
or party they have demanded him. And
now again he has been called for. The
colored men of the Fourth district have
learned that with Mayor RICE in congress
there would be another repreSen
tative who would not be blind
to their rights and interests. Last
night accordingly they with great good
sense indorsed his candidacy and resolved
to vote for him to a man. They will cut no
mean figure when the returns are counted,
and our next congressman can well be
pleased with the unanimity with which
they desire his election. With every class
of society thus opposed to him, Nonentity
GILFILLAN ought to have no difficulty in
coming to the conclusion that his goose is
cooked, and very we'll done, too.

Pioneer Press Editorial.
October is usually royal month in Mime
sofa. The forests are stained and flushed
with crimson and amber and gold. The
fringed gentian remains longest of the flow
ers. The sun early leaves us. but the west
glows his passing warmth, and CLEANS Of
violet and purple fit about the hills. The
freight fills the windows with rosy light
and the sharp air impels to the comforts OF a
fire. The season of midnight talks and
moonlight walks is over. The young men
and maidens can no more linger long at the
gate, or whisper sweet nothingS beneath the
elm. Nature glOws and is dying from excess
of beauty. The water reflects the brightest
blue of the skies and the gorgeous colors of
the overhanging foliage. The air is winey
and delicious, and the sun is tempted so that
one can rest for hours upon grassy slopes en-
ioying it. The paths through the woods are
firm and dry; snakes and insects are vanish
ing and the country shows its best side. A
little latter it may well be avoided.
The Overwrought body and nerves find bet
ter rest when the air has been washed pure
by autumn rains and is crisp and wholesome,
and even with a lingering suspicion of frost
in it. Walking is always preferable, too.
One feels shod with springs as he speeds over
hills and valleys, through the tall, brown,
silk tufted grass and the rustling leaves, tax
ing full breaths of amber air, and pausing
to absorb mentally an alluring view up some
long, misty valley, or a blue lake, trimmed
like q royal drinking cup with q fringe of
gold and green and crimson.

HARMONY, GENTLEMEN.

1t is unfortunate that the Democrats of
Dakota have chosen the present time for
one of those little disSensions which will
occasionally occur even in the best regulated
political families. Cass county, which
contains much of the brains and talent of
the party. seems to be the center of the
cyclonic disturbance, but there is danger
unless it is speedily checked, of
its spreading TO other sections of
the territory. This is not the
time for Dakota Democrats to indulge
in shindy. They have more than fight
ing chance of sending Democrat to con-
greSs in place of Delegate CLIFFORD. and
should do nothing to imperil the possibility
of victory. Without harmony they can
hope to accomplish nothing. With har-
mony and earnest CO. operation they may
reasonably expect to do much. Dakota
Democrats, whatever their local differ
ences, are all men possessed of an abun-
dance of good hard sense, and by the time
election day comes around they will doubt
less lay aside all contention and present to
the enemy united front. 1t is only by
such means that party grows in strength
and attains ultimate victory.
