How Governor =" Fob" Stewart Got Even.
An old citizen, gentleman of high social
and official standing in St. Joseph, tells a
story of the famous Missouri governor, Bob
Stewart, which, true to the letter, proves
that fact is stranger than fiction:
81 was coming up the Missouri river when
was a boy" said the ex-governor, land l
was working my way on steamboat. At O
point where we had to wood up didn't carry
as big load as some of the roustabouts, nor
move with that agility that the others did,
for was not strong, and had been tenderly
raised. The mate became enraged at my
slow movements on the gang plank, and he
gave me kick and sent me ashore and con-
fiscated my buffalo robe as payment for my
passage to that point. mover saw that mate
again until 1 had been inaugurated as gov
ernor Of this great commonwealth Of Mis-
souri,.
Zone day, wandering through the wards
and districts of the penitentiary, saw that
mate working at forge. He had been sent
there for killing, in passion, a man under
his command. l knew him instantly, and l
directed the warden to send the ma to the
gubernatorial mansion in the garb of q gen
tleman When the man arrived / took him
into my private Office and asked MIN II he
recognized me- He replied chat he did not.
Said l: DO you remember one time, and at
such and such place, of kicking boy and
sending him ashore who had been working in
your gangF
1.-THE man said: NO, 1 don't remember 1t,
but it is very likely that l did IT.
"'Well,' says l. Il am that boy and here is
your pardon. always thought l would get
even with you
"The tears came to the old mans eyes, and
he said: We'll, governor, to be a mate in
those days man had to be dog
"'You played well your part l said
Now, leave here, and don't let me see you
again
CAS- he made his exit gave him an able
bodied kick, and little Bob Stewart had got
even with that big steamboat mate.

every word is true, l need barely say, SIR

LOUISIANA SALT MINES.
Belt of SaIiferous Deposit-Iure Rock
Salt-Pepper Fields.

~ I1eit ot SaiierOuS DepOslt-1ure ROCK
Salt-Pepper Fields.
One Of the visitors to the mines explained
to Mr.. Ely that there was belt OF saliferoUs
deposit in Louisiana extending from Bossier
and Bienvillo parishes, above Red river, TO
the Gulf. The largest of these deposits APP
pears to be the beds of ancient exhausted
lakes. Salt springs were known 20 exist on
Petite Anse island from the earliest date but
the works were abandoned until the blockade
during the war raised the price OF salt so
high IN the southern states that Ma jor Avery
reopened them for the use Of the Confeder-
acy. 1t was at this time that he came unex-
pectedly upon the enormous stratum of pure
rock salt, which underlies the soil. Like the
island of Ornuz, in the Persian gulf. Petite
Anse is apparently only huge rock of salt.
The mines have now been in operation
about twenty years. The salt is excavated in
large masses by blasting with dynamite. 1t
IS SO pure that it is prepared for the market,
not by melting and refining, as il the Eng
lish mines, but simply by grinding into the
requisite grades of fineness. The native crys-
tails detached by blasting ere as clear and
translucent as glass. Dir. Ely went down into
the mine, and wandered through its far re-
treating corridors, whose pillars and lofty
arches shone with a soft silvery radiance.
When the lights of the torches struck into the
darkness overhead, the domes flashed back
such splendors of color that it seemed to
Mr. Ely as if be bad entered one Of the caves

lege in Indiana-as be stepped from the ele-
vator into the upper air. IL actually did not
know there was minc of salt in the United

"And yet" said their guide, quickly, ''you

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Canada Taking Steps to Meet all Necessary
Emergencies.

OTTAWA, Sept 25.-The members of the
Dominion government have been sum-
moned to the capital in consequence of a
dispatch received from the imperial au-
thorities through Lord Stanley. governor
general, asking for information regarding
the volunteer militia forces in Canada.
All members of the government are now
III the city with the exception of Hon. j.
\. Chapleau, secretary of state, who is eX-
pected to arrive this week.
The British government. it appears, re-
alizing that Canada is in semi-defense-
less condition should any trouble arise
with the United States over retaliation,
have asked for an extensive report OF the
armed resistance the country could offer
should there be any trouble. The cabinet
council will meet in the course of a week
or so, when the report which has been pre-
pared on the subject by Sir John Thomp-
son, minister of justice, Will be submitted.
The federal government, since the retalia-
ton question has become a live issue here,
have awakened up to the sense of their de
fenSelesS condition.
Sir John Mcdonald premier, has asked
the people OF the counties bordering on the
Rideau canal, Canada, which connects the
otta river with the great lakes at King
ston. to petition the government to deepen
the canal, which was built by the British
government after the war of 1912, but has
since become so shallow that a gunboat
could not pass through it. The object of
this move is to open an inland water
communication from Ottawa TO the
great lakes in consequence of the
liability of the st. Lawrence water
route and the Grand Trunk railway being
closed by American forces immediately on
the outbreak of trouble.
The adiutant general Of the Canadian
forces, Color Powell, is receiving reports
from all parts of the country concerning
the condition of the volunteer forces. Ii
Is uudersj ood that at the next SESSION of
parliament the government Will increase
the vote for military purposes to admit of
additions to the volunteer forces.

THE SCARE is OVER

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 25.-The scare is
over The panicky feeling Of the past four
days has given away to a more rational

board viii meet this afternoon and take

THE NEW BILL.
1t is not the Work of Republican Caucus
The Bill in Outline.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-The impression
that the senate tariff bill is the work of a
Republican caucus is entirely incorrect.
Its details have never been submitted to
any caucus of Republicans, though the
general plan and the expected results have
been matters of discussion from time to
time. Republican senators will be in no
respect debarred from submitting amend
,nents when the bill comes before the SEN
ate, and in fact it is, like the other meas
ures in their progress through the senate
committee, still subject TO change in the
committee. The bill is voluminous at
fair. covering $50 pages OF the ordinary
bill size, including, of course, the Mills
bill. which Is struck out, and the entire
under valuation bill, upon which the
senate committee spent nearly year. The
next meeting Of the full committee IS
called for Thurs lay morning when the
1t is said its reading in the senate will
consume about five hours. The members
of the committee have pledged their honor
not to make public any of the provisions
of the bill and only about a dozen copies
have been printed. All those but the one
sent TO Senator Beck have been returned
to the clerk of the committee and are
locked up in his custody. Nothing but
the few pivotal items which have for some
time been public is known OF the provI-
sions Of the measures. Thirty-fOur new
items, mainly drugs, chemicals and grass
es, have been added to the free list and
more are 10 be added before the bill leaves
the committee. Sugar and rice are cut 5
cents per hundred weight salt and lumber
are practically unchanged; tobacco and
alcohol used in the arts are to be untaxed.

for wheat was reached today when eight
cars of No hard on track brought 81. o.
II is thought the wheat was bought for C.
A. Pillsbury and some dealers are inclined
to think it bluff, it being very well
known that very little spot wheat was on
the market. October wheat closed at

some that the rivalry between Duluth and
Minneapolis to handle this years crop Of
wheat is as much responsible for the
