ALASKA mosQUIIoEs.-J. A. johnson,
veil known mining expert, returned
from Alaska to San Francisco :. few days
ago MIR. Johnson has been examining
mine on Douglas island, supposed to
be an extension of the Alaska mine, in
the interests OF some French capitalists
He brought with him ore specimens
which indicate the mineral wealth OF
that region. "Next to rich ore, sad Mr.
johnson, what 1 struck the most forci-
cibly was the mosquitoes. Why, sir,
they Kill bears. Now it seems strange
that mosquitoe could kill bear, but
this is the way it is done. The bears
come down from the bills into the marsh
land to feed on roots and berries-a sort
of cranberry found there. AS soon
as they get comfortably to work the
mosquitoes attack them, and go for their
eyes. The bears get on their hind legs
to fight them of, and sink into the
swamp. The mosquitoes, which are of a
most extraordinary size, keep at them
until they are totally blind, and then
they have them completely at their mercy.
l have seen over dozen bear carcasses
in those Ewamps, positively killed by tho
mosquitoes.

The "Thomps==:,ta" Cancer Cure.


DR.. Samuel Thompson, the founder
of the Thompsonian school, grandfather
of the modern eclectic, botanic and
physio-medical schools, describes in his
book a method of treatment which may
have something in it. 1t is to make an
extract in the following way: Fill a
brass kettle heaping iull OF the blossoms
OF the red clover, add Lutte water
place oyc- fire and let it boil for some
time; remove the heads of the clover by
straining, and evaporate the. liquid
carefully to. solid extract. With this
material he directs plaster to be made,
which acts as caustic to the growth to
which it is applied; the patient to drink
freely of a tea made from the red clover
blossoms. He claims to have cured
many cases of cancer in this way. No
recent mention OF this cancer cure ap-
pears TO have been made. 1t certainly
should be tested again, now that the
differences between tumOrs arc more
readily made out than forty or fifty
years ago, when Thompson fiourished

Water rs a natching Medium.


Living creatures in waters seem to
have a vegetable origin. Examine pure
lake water or spring water with a mi
croscope and no life is visible; but put
flowers or any vegetable substance in
the water and in forty-eight hours the
water will swarm with life. Water thus
is revealed as the Matching medium for
many forms of life. Many beautiful
grasspl0ts in cities are ruined by exees-
sive watering. The water matches out
millions of eggs which the dry sun
would have killed.

special says: Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
was conspicuous figure at the White

it that the president wants him to Per

This, no doubt, will be considered by

What brought Beecher to the White

Senator Frye Speaks Very Strongly in the

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. July 22.-Senator Sherman's
speech on the Payne case to-day was clear and
strong presentation Of Democratic frauds in
Ohio, beginning with the infamous Highland
House convention and eliminating in the cleo
tion OF Senator Henry B. Payne. In the early
part of Mr.. Shermans remarks, he was frequent
ly interrupted by those on the opposite side Of
the question and by those who were made TO
vince under his CALLING blows, but he soon had
the uninterrupted attention of every Senator and
the crowded galleries of spectators, whose
enthusiasm was, at times, repressed by
the admonitions of the door keepers that
applause was not permitted. When Mr. Sher-
man mad finished, there was nothing to be said
to make positive case of fraud and corruption
in the election of Payne Senator Pugh fol-
lowed for the defense, and Senator Frye came
next in The same course traversed by Mr.. Sher-
man. The speech of Mr.. Frye was also very
convincing one for an investigation. Tomorrow
Senator Evarts will close the debate. He will
speak against an investigation. Senator Hoar
may reply briefly, and then vote viii be taken.

: A Sand Mystery Explained.

MACON Ga, July 22-People who have taken
the trouble to go down into the swamp lands be-
low this city have found an almost phenomenal
deposit of sand in the swamps and fields. The
sand is as fine and white as that seen on the
beach on Cumberland island. Many persons
have hauled away cart loads of it for flower gar
dens, front yards. etc. 1t is known that this
sand was washed up on the lands by the recent
freshets but where it came from was a puzzle
when it was remembered that the Ocmulgee
river bottom and banks are of the reddest mud.
The mystery has been explained. When the
Harrison freshet occurred, in 164l all the land
in the vicinity of Julistte. on the East Tennes-
see, Virginia 65 Georgia railroad, was covered
with sand. In the food the dwelling of Mr.. j.
A. Boyden was leveled to the ground and the
contents scattered. The waters snhsidAa -.
iett essfssss =. s....,. several feet deep. few
aav3 ago Mr. Bowden was ploughing, and hav-
ing occasion to visit part of the field that he
had not passed over in some time, he found the
land bare of sand that had covered it for forty
five years. He found pots and kettles that be-
longed to his parents which had been scattered
when the Harrison freshet destroyed the dwell
ing-house. There were also wheel tracks on the
hard clay, made by wagon wheels at that time.
Thus the sand that had been left on the land
near Juliette by one freshet was. after nearly
half a century, taken up by another freshet and
deposited on the lands near this city.

KNIGHTS OF PYTIIIAS.
Cincinnati Chosen as the Next Place of Meet
ing-Expulsions from the Order.

TORONTO, Ont, July 22-At the meeting of
the Knights of Pythias Supreme Lodge. yester-
day, the report of the committee on time and
place, recommending that the next biennial meet
ing of the Supreme Lodge be held in Cincinnati
the second week in June, was adopted. The re-
port of the finance committee, recommending the
appropriation of $50, 500 for expenses of the Su-
preme Lodge for the next two years, was adopted.
Among other matters brought up was inter-
esting case from Ohio. August We'll, a member
of William Tell Lodge, Cleveland, was
suspended for ninety nine years by the
Ohio Grand Lodge, some time ago, for
claiming q benefit when not entitled thereto,
writing threatening letters to the lodge and for
bringing a suit against the lodge before appeal
ing to the proper officers. The Supreme Lodge
sustained the appeal and the action of Ohio
Grand Lodge reversed, on the ground that
intent to do fraud was not shown, and that there
no testimony to support any of the other
charges. A supplemental report of the supreme
chancellor stated that Frank B. May, of San
Francisco, Endowment Rank, had been found to
be defaulter to the section with which he was
connected in that city, and that he had been re-
moved from his position. He had also been re-
moved from the position of brigader general of
the Uniform Rank of California. The Supreme
Lodge decided that subordinate lodges be au-
thorized to impose the penalty of expulsion in
cases of trial. provided grand lodges, on appeal
to them, shall have the full right to review the
evidence and proceedings in any case, and APP
prove: modify or annul the penalty imposed.

SCANDAL IN CANADA.
Cabinet Ministers Accused of Employing
Feminine Clerks for Immoral Purposes.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 22.-The social as well as
the political world here are agog over the as
founding revelations of one of the civil-service
employees who may be calculated upon to know
whereof he speaks. He charges that officials in
high authority are using, and have used for
long time, lady employees for immoral purposes:
The civil servant in question is ]. Chaquon. and
he is candidate for seat in the Dominion Par
lament and special protege of the Secretary
of State, Hon. J. a. Chapleau in stumping the
district Of Chambley, Quebec He makes start
ling revelations, which have caused consterna
tion at the capital. seeing that he is in the con-
fdence of the Ministry. For instance, among
other things, he says: He was opposed
to young girls heing employed in
the government buildings at Ottawa.
He denounced the system used in engaging
them-a system which for the Ministers con-
sisted less of assuring themselves of the aptitude
and intellectual capacities of the girls than of
their physical qualities and beauty He con-
denied the system all the more from the fact that
the young girls had to work near darkened
rooms, which are on both sides of the corridors
of the house, and which the Ministers frequent
in attending to their duties. He would give the
subject alnpler explanations only for the pres
ence of so many ladies'"
Referring to the subject, the leading paper at
the capital, the Ottawa Free Press, SAYS: IF
be as we'll to blurt it out now 1t is not the
morals of the female employees which are at fault
but the morals of the Cabinet Ministers. Mr.
ChSQuon admits that the danger to women comes
from the Cabinet Ministers. and he says the girls
should be removed from the service. The reason
is insufficient. The true remedy is to remove the
immoral Cabinet Ministers The statements of
Chaquon are in the main correct. 1t was only
few weeks ago that lady employed in the Agri-
cultural Department attacked her husband, who
was employed in another department.. because he
pointed out to her indisoreLons she committed.
and showed that she too intimate with one
of the Cabinet Ministers There was no mystery
about the quarrel. which took place in the corr-
dor before several civil servants. Government
buildings are Dublin Castle in a small way.
Husbands get employment because of their
wives. Ysung girls get copying because OF their
get pay for doing nothing at ALL This is gener-
ally known but no one wanted to interfere in
what was supposed not to be public business un-
til Chaquon ventilated the question The mat
ter will not likely end here.
