ENTOMBED IN A DUG-OUT.-A family
by the name of Andrew, living in a dug
out in the eastern part Of this county,
were showed in by the recent storm, so
they couldn't get out of the house. The
family, consisting Of a mother and sew
eral children, made sheir supplies last
as long as possible, but they finally
gave out and starvation stared them in
the face. The oldest girl after repeat
ed efforts succeeded in gaining her free
dom by digging her way out under the
snow, making a tunnel-like passage
large enough to allow her to pass
through on her hands and knees. AT
ter getting out she walked over a mile
to neighbors by the name of Jake
Flight. He at once proceeded to the
dug-out, cut a hole il the roof of tue
building and let down rope with
which he drew CUT the rest of the chill
dren and their molher, and then took
them to his house. He found them
nearly starved and suffering greatly
from the extreme cold. But for the
courage and pluck of This brave young
girl the entire family would have been
confronted with the spectacle Of an en-
sire family starving to death in the
midst Of 81 people Of plenty Ellsworth

aREVIVE - -. :.

The history OF events repeats itself as
persistently rs the school boy repeats
''Mary's Little Lamb, and again the
winter season has ushered in a regular
old time revival at the N. Z. Church, in
this place.
The meetings have been in progress
for upwards of two weeks with the most
gratifying results and indications of still
larger success
Rev w. R Allen, the preacher in
charge, has been assisted 10y Revs-
Bracken and Turner, of this place, and
Edison Goodrich. of Gaylord.
Presiding Elder Breed delivered a
sound and interesting discourse on Fri
day evening to one Of those large and
appreciatiVe audiences that have char
acterized these meetings from the be-
ginning.
Not least among the beneficial results
IS the interest that is aroused among the
church members themselves and the
unity and harmony with which the DIFF
ferent denominations are working.
There have been several conversions
and many more, who are apparently
earnest seekers, and the community in
general seem to be ia sympathy with
the movement and to realize that the
christian people are doing good work.
Alth ough those who prove faithful to
their convictions and professions may
be few the effort viii be amply reward
ed by the sincere and anxious concern
that has been manifested by those who
have formerly shown no interest IN such
matters. FIDEs.

PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.

Underwood's Bank Reporter.
The treasury statement for June
LIST shows that aftor the payment
of $40, 000,0 of the bonded debt,
the net reduction in the amount OF
debt less cash in hand was $685.
565. Thus 1T appears that the OK
cess of receipts over other eXpen-
ditures during the past month,
though not quite, was nearly equal
to the amount of bonds covered by
the call maturing during the
month. The large receipts of the
treasury were in part due, it is
true, to the Iarga imports of for
eign merchandise and the duties
paid thereon. But considerable
change in the condition of the
treasury was also due to Il tempo
rary cause, which is by many over
looked; namely, the increase in the
amount of deposits for retirement
of bank circulation. This increase
during the past month amounted
to IS, 032, 571, and affects the treas
ury statement precisely as if the
bank had loaned to the treasury
that amount in gold. 1t is prob
able that the deposits for this pur-
pose will continue large during the
coming month, so that the treasury
report at the end of the fiscal year
will make o much better showing,
as respects the amount of gold
held, than it would otherwise.

An Englishman after having been
shown the operations of the phcu,
matte tube for carrying parcels in
New York, SAID: al have Just seen
one thing moro wonderful than
that" said the visitor. Il have
talked by cable from London to
Calcutta, India, over 1000 miles OF
wire. Two years ago l called upon
Managing Director W. Andrews,
of the Indo-European Telegraph
Company, at No. Is Old Broad
street, London. It was Sunday
evening and the wires were not
very busy. Mr.. Andrews called
uDon Emden, German town.
"Give me Odessa" he wired. In
a few seconds wo got the signal
from the Russian seaport city, and
asked for Teheran, the capital of
Persia. "Call Kurrache," said An
drews. In less than half a minute
we were signaling that Indian
town. The signals came at the rate
of fifteen words minute. After
learning that the London Office was
testing the long wires, Kurrachee
gave us. Agra, and VIC chatted
pleasantly Tor a few minutes with
the operator on duty there. In a
short time the operator switched
us on the cable to the capital, Cal
cutta. At first the operator there
could not believe he vas talking
to London, and he asked in the
Morse language: "Is this really
London, England ?" 1t was a won
derful achievement, metallic COM
munication without a break be-
tween the capital of the English
nation and the scat of her govern
mont in India, 1000 miles away as

St. Louis Republican: "Rcv. S.
W. Wesley" is conducting a revlv-
al at the First Baptist church of
Kansas City. He describes HIM
self as 20 barrel of dust and u bag

ject to his preaching as "whining
old whelps who have been hit with
some ofmy gospel rocks" Though
he is evidently either . humhug or
an imbocile ilnitator of Sam Jones,
H.: he Kansas CITY Times says that
"he seemed to sway the vast aud
renee with his words, and those
who have heard tho leading evan
geIists of the country, say that his
magnetic power will compare fav-
orably with many of them" Since
the Georgia backwoodsman at
tracted attention by his volublc
and witty use of his vernacular
there have been numbers of So
called "evangelists," who have at
tempted to make regulations with
no capital but coarscncss and
brutality. This Kansas City per-
son seems to be one of them. He
ought to be suppressed with all the
rest of them, and If, seeing the evil
he is doing, Sam Jones does not
reform his language, he should be
suppressed also.

AMERICAS BILLIONS.
From the st. Paul Globe.

'N'AA NA'N ~ aANa NA'tN-
The total wealth ofour country
now the richest in the world, is re.
ported at S43,Sooo,ooo,ooo, in a
population Of 10000, 900, with a
total ofIS,ooo, 900 producers, says
Rev. DIR. Behrends. An enormous
sum in the aggregate, represent
ing, however, the accumulations oil
$50 years, much of it in land, build
ings, and machinery.
An equal divisions would give to
each man, woman and child CAPT
tai of only $50, much of it re-
latively worthless to the individual
owner, or of $500 to each pro-
Queer. The latter sum represents
the limit of average wealth attain
able. There is no more to be had.
The same result is emphasized in
Analysing the annual production.
The most careful estimates place
this at $1,000, ooo,o 900 annually.
From this must be deducted $780,
100000 paid in taxes, 81, 900, ooo,-
900 to make good the annual wear
and tear ofthe means reproduction
leaving SS,ooo,ooo,ooo to be di-
vlded among 100000 con-
sumers, without allowing anything
for interest or invested capital or
for its increase. Allowing 5 per
cent for these, the net production
is reduced to S5.725, 100000,
Throwing capital out of the ac-
count, there is only 500 year for
each inhabitant, or ofII5 if capital
is entitled to a dividend an
average Of thirty-one to forty-four
cents a day.
Forty cents a day must suffice,
on the average, to feed, clothe and
shelter the people of this country.
On dividing the actual production
among the actual workers, the
average income Will be between
S327 and S475 year.
Three hundred and fifty dollars
a year must buy bread, raiment,
pay house rent, and provide a mar
gin for saving in every family of
three persons; 81 a day is far above
the average income that the pro-
ductive energy of the country can
pay. He who secures it belongs to
the privileged classes, with many, |
perhaps. above him, but with many
more below; and every man be-
longs to the bloated plutocracy,
against whom socialism urges its
crusade who owns 81, 500 worth of
property, or who receives more
than $500 year for his work.

and we'll to-day. Now we have
the pleasure of recording an exact
repetition of the circumstance.
This week triplets were again born
to them-two boys and q girl. Tho

The boys are as strong as infants
at that age can be expected. The
mother is doing we'll with her four
