those beautiful colors which none but the
women of this country can make; their
wives wear white pettcoats for every day

silver thread and buttons and colorcd

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. l3.-The de-
tails of one Of the most gigantic trusts ever
devised have Just come to the surface in
this city. II is combination OF all the
principal lumber interests Of Minnesota
and those OF Wisconsin. Fred Weyerhau-
ser, the rich lumberman, who has secured
control OF all the pine lands tributary to the
Chippewa and Menimonee rivers in Wis
consin, is at the head OF the deal. A short
time ago he bought up the controlling in
terest OF all the big lumber firms and pine
Ia nd owners in northern Wisconsin, and
now has absolute control Of the lumber
business in that section. lie is at the head
OF the Mississippi Logging company, whose
headquarters are at Eau Claire, Wis. The
company is now said TO control about 9,000,-
600, 600 feet of stumpage in Wisconsin and
IL is understood that nearly as much more Is
now being contracted for in Minnesota.
Options have already been secured on a
large amount Of Minnesota stumpage, and
agents Of the syndicate are securing the
--rNntry TO get all there is in sight.
Ii is known that I. Il. Walker, the
largest pine land owner in Minnesota, has
given an option on all the stumpage he
owns. lie was approached by the syndi-
cate few days ago, and was asked II he
would sell the land. lie did not want TO
sell, but named price about double the
market value OF his lands at the present
time, supposing il would not be accepted,
bet, 10 his surprise, three days later, the
syndicate took up his offer. lie owns
about 100000 feet Of stumpage. The
other big pine land owners who are said
90 have been approached for options on
their lands are the Pillshurys, who own
SOC, 200, 600; Camp x Walker, the ltasca
Lumber company, Capt ;. +. Snyder,
II. G. Acklcy and Gaylord x Cook. All
these parties except T. q. Walker deny
that they have given options on theil
lands. but decline to talk about the deal
IL the Wisconsin syndicate succeed IN
getting all the land they are after II vii
require a capital OF nearly S20OOO,OOO Il
carry il. The scheme is 20 iloat logs iron
the upper Mississippi down over the fall
NJ Minneapolis and erect big mills on th'
lower river During the high water her
last spring some Of the high booms wer'
broken and the logs went over the dan
and noated into the lower river. tn,
owners were much surprised TO find tina
they could sell these logs 10 better al
vantage below the falls than above, a
they were nearer the southwestern lumbe
trade, and the present deal started Iron
that discovery. II Is understood tina
some Of the Chicago railroads and som
southwestern lines are encouraging III
deal for obvious reasons.

PROHIBITION.

The temperance question seems
likely to become one of the factors
in the Fall campaign.
1t is a question to which we are
disposed to think politicians have
not given sufficient consideration.
Had the National Republican Com
mittee siren the question sufficient
attention iAstead OF ignoring it,
Blaine would not have been de-
feated in 1884.
They have cast aside, in meas
ure, their Murphy movements and
temperance crusades, and begun to
make themselves felt at the ballot
box.
In this State a temperance ALI
ance is forming, the object OF which
il to obliterate the drahm shop.
Nevada may be set down as a
drinking State, like any new State
of the West, and it is hot likely
that any effort to make a radical
change of affairs would succeed.
The question of High License has
been agitated good deal, but the
temperance people themselves are
divided on the question. 1t results
In less saloons, az the smaller are
unable to meet the heavy tax, and
it wipes out the third class houses,
but it is not likely to lessen the sale
OF liquor. The increased tax gives
q few men the monopoly OF the
business, and the State revenue is
materially benefited. That high
license would lessen any OF the
evils of intemperance is still an
open question.
Absolute Prohibition cannot be ac-
compllshed iii Nevada, and it would
be folly for the temperance people
to ask that any party place so rad
ical a plank IN their platform. The
more conservative of the temper
ance advocates are we'll aware OF
this, and are willing to take q slice
OF bread where they cannot get u
whole loaf. They ask that they be
allowed to put the question OF Pro-
hibition to a vote of the people.
Such q request is reasonable, and
should he allowed.

A Tough Deal.

While Nevada is being placed on
the Civil Service Reform Gridiron
in the matter OF most exasperat-
ing and inefficient mail service.
We are glad to hear that our misery
is not without company.
Mr. VIM Dudley Foulke, of
Richmond, Indiana, President OF
the Indiana civil-service reform as
sociation recently made an address
before the Senate Civil Service in
vestigating Committee, which gives
the Indiana Democracy the dis
tinction Of being more open in their
violation OF law than those OF any
other State. The address OF Mr.
Foulke. who is not Republican,
was upon an impartial investiga-
ton made by the association which
he represented, and was supported
by number OF ahidavits. lie
says the postofiices throughout the
entire State are in \ demoralized
condition, ana that removals of efii-
Gent men who are Republicans,
and the appointment Of inefficient
men who are Democrats, are open.
Postmaster Jones, of Indianapolis,
having publicity stated that none
but Democrats would be appointed,
regardless of civil service examine
tions. Mr.. Foulke says that he
laid all these facts before Cleveland
not believing that he would allow
the abuses to continue if he were
personally acquainted with them.
Cleveland knew all about it, end
apparently approved of the action
of his party strikers. He told Mr..
Faulke that he regretted that his
association had made this investi-
cation. Mr.. Faulke invited the
committee to visit Indiana, and
pledged his association to substanti-
ate every statement which he had
made, with legal evidence. If
Cleveland, who poses before the
country as the great civil service
Ieformer, were not protected with
the hide OF an elephant, this adj
dress would have made him squirm.

The mortality from snake bites in Ben.
gal is much larger among women than
among men They are usually bitten in
the early morning, when they go out un
seen before daylight, either to fetch wood
from the faggot stack or for some other
domestic purpose. During the rainy sea-
son., when nearly all the rice fields are un
der water, the snakes take refuge in the
higher plats of land, on which the vii
lagos are built, and they hide themselves
in the little woodstacks and granaries in
the court yards of the houses; while not
i~nfrequently they take up their abode in
the house itself, where they are allowed
to dwell with impunity. and sometimes fed
with milk. until, on some unlucky day.
the wife treads accidentally on the snake
in the dark, n it turns upon her and
bites her. From the bite of a full grown
cobra death ensues in a very few minutes,
and the natives have no such remedies at
hand as English science might use, but
they put a vain faith in the f~anciful
charms and lamentations recommended by
their priests.-Quarterly Review.
