The refusal on the Governors part
to sanction the local option amend
ment will naturally bring up contest
in this city in June, and as there is a
strong sentiment both pro and con
upon this question, il would be well
for the immediate prosperity of the
city that both factions should meet
each other, if possible, upon some
equitable basis of compromise; and in
this way save the city from the bitter
contest which ultra men on both sides
will not hesitate to precipitatc.
If such compromise cannot be ef-
fected, let both sides determine in the
outset that no personal rancor, or
ostracism for opinions sake. shall pre-
vail, and let this purely moral question
be settled at the polls, and at the same
time let the minority quietly acquiesce
in the decision of the majority.

Terrible Form or Cannlballsm.

WINNIPEG, March l6.--A few par
ticulars of the terrible cannibalism in
the Peace river country are obtain
able. They occurred in the far north
western portion of the territory, 200
or 800 miles beyond Edmonton. The
Peace river country is inhabited by
Cree Indians and half-breeds. Most
Of them are pagans, and still closely
cling to traditions of the Cree nation
They believe that at times evil spirits
enter the bodies of the members Of
the tribe, turning them into "Wehti-
gos,' who kill and dovour their fami-
lies. II is usual when any member Of
the tribe shows signs Of becoming a
Wehtigo for the mcmbers of his or
her family to kill the person so aillct-
ed. Last Fall half-breed named
Conteraille, assisted by his son, killed
his wife because il was believed she
was turning Wehtigo. The Dominion
government sent detachment of po-
lice into the Peace river district and
arrested them, and they are now serv-
ing a term for manslaughter in the
Stony Mountain penitcntiary. Their
punishment caused much disailectlon
among members of the tribe, who con-
tended that If they had not put the
woman to death she would have killed
her children and eaten them. The
woman who is the cause of the pres
ent cases of cannibalism turned Weh-
tigo some years ago, and killed and ate
one of her children before she wac
suspected. Having once tasted human
blood, she is supposed by the Indians
to be endowed with supcrhuman pow
ers, and they are in such terror of her
that no attempts have been made TO
kill her. AT intervals of four or five
months her craving for human blood
returns, and while in these fits II is
reported she assails the first person
she meets. Most of her children have
fallen victims, having been slain with
an axe. The halfbreeds and Indians
are in terror, and it is probable that a
police force will be sent to Peace river
to arrest the man-eater.

Did the Board of Supervisors do
their duty in refusing to order the
election to vote upon the question of
donation or no donation to the
Georgia Pacific Railroad Company
We do not know whether or not the
mo donation > ticket would have been
successful; but the question that arises
here is, should the Board have antici-
pated the defeat of the measure, and
gone positively and knowingly in the
face of what they know to be the law
in order to save the county little ex-
pense.'

Truck farmers about Centreville are
reported as progressing well, with fair
prospects, though the season has been
a difficult one to contend with. If the
connecting link between this place and
the Miss, Valley road had been built
last winter, this place and vicinity
would have made an excellent showing
in that direction. Mr.. Nat Cropper
informs us that he has ripe straw
berry's and would have had any guam
tity, but for the last two cold spells.
He will ship lots of fruit and vegeta-
bles next year if he has the opportu-
nifty and there are many others like
him

The Bill Redlstricting the State 10 be
Tested In the Courts.

lopeclal 10 COmlncrclnl Herald.
Jackson, March 2i.-Several of the
Judges of the State met here to-day
to consider what action, if any, they
would take regarding the bill which
passed the recent Legislature redist-
ricting the State and abolishing five
chancellors and three circuit judges.
Only about half of the retired judges
were present at the meeting. It is a
mooted question whether the bill Is
constitutional or not, and It is UNDER
stood that the meeting to-day decided
to contest the law in the courts on
this ground among others.
We suppose of course that the "re-
tired Judges" are actuated in this con-
templated contest pro bono publico ;
though we can but think that test
would more properly come from some
disinterested party.

Methods Of ".Icreed" PLAYING.

Sides are chosen by the leaders and
lines marked out about q spears throw
apart. This distance varies with the
size and strength of the players, thirty
yards being fair average. Each PLAYER
has blunt wooden spear about the shape
OF a billiard cue, only not ~ small in
proportion at the smaller end. II is
shaped in such a way that when balanced
ON the finger and then grasped il will not
be beld at the middle, but at a point a
little nearer the larger end A iereed
player must possess skill in two ways
no must be able 10 hurl this spear far and
true, and also TO catch spear, when
thr0wn at him, as il goes by.
This sounds more difficult than it
really Is, The player dodges rs the spear
approaches, 50 that it will shoot past his
side-the right side, IL pUssible-and
then, as IL pnsses him, he sweeps il in
with his hand and brings il down 10 the
side, reversing II 80 a. to throw IL back
again, all in a moment The object Of
the game is for one side 10 drive the
other side back and occupy its line. But
10 is not 80 rough game as this purpose
would seem 10 imply. Not half 10 many
accidents occur as in baseball, and il is
not nearly ~ rough aS football, since the
object of the game can be- attained very
easily and quickly by throwing the spear
over the head of your opponent. for then
he has TO run back aud pick mp his spear.
and that not only wcak'ns the enemies
line, but gives thcm, Tor the time, one
less spear throwcr. ST, Nicholas
