a river. Into these they jump, leaping
out into the stream forty, fifty or sixty
feet, and go down with a hiss, throwing
up a column of steam where they sink.
Il have seen hundreds of these plants
in Barber county and the Siquashie val
ley" said Mr.. Niederlander. .'When
started to rolling in a fire no ordinary
horse can run before them. Once, in the
Siquashie valley, | only saved myself by
driving my team into the river, which |
fortunately reached Just in time"
In Colorado wind storms these weeds
are also a source of much danger. In
Middle park a few years ago a party Of
travellers were suddenly ~overtaken by a
storm. Seeing what they supposed to he
a mass of huge powders in the distance,
they made for them, thinking they would
afford at least partial shelter. To their
surprise, as they approached, the bowl
ders suddenly broke loose and commenced
rolling toward them at a furious rate,
cutting all sorts of curious capers and gy-
rating menacingly as they came. At
times they would strike an obstruction and
bound high in the air, and again striking
the ground resume their rapid, circular
motion. The travellers put spurs to their
horses, and il was only by the greatest
effort that they managed to escape from
the track Of these monsters, On exami-
nation they found their supposed bowl
ders were really immense weeds which
had been torn up by the roots by the
wind storm.
These weeds are so solid that they are
a great menace TO man and beast under
such circumstances. lmpelled by heavy
wind, they would go with force enough
to kill a horse, and a human being is in
great danger if he cannot get out of the
track Of these monsters when they are
running before a hurricane or in case of
a prairie fire.-Wichita Journal.

The Pacific Coast boundary.

The Pacific ocean boundary of the
United States has a greater extent of
coast line than the Atlantic shore. The
aggregate Of our shore line on the Pacific
is IL, 134 miles, while on the Atlantic il
is II, $50 miles and on the Gulf of Mexico
G.S43. California contains l,l36 miles Of
the coast line on the Pacific, while she
also has 27a miles of island shore
and 24O miles of tide water river
shore, making altogether 1,64s miles Of
shore line. Texas has an actual coast
line on the gulf of 1909 miles, while
Florida has l,l44 on the gulf and 1868
miles on the Atlantic, so that both exceed
California in this particular. 1t was the
annexation Of Alaska that promoted the
Pacific coast TO a higher figure than the
Atlantic, Alaska having $3.50 miles of
coast line. These figures are taken from
the coast survey reports. --Boston Post.

A SERIES Of tests were inagurated ut
the stock yards in Chicago some time
ago for the purpose Of determining
whether or not Texas fever Ia conta-
gious. A post-mortem examination
was held on several cattle, which, on
July 18th. were placed In q pen with
cattle from Texas which had the fever.
The disease. it is thought, was soon
communicated to Illinois cattle, but
was allowed TO progress until Friday
when they were slaughtered. Unmis,
taxable evidences of fever were appar-
ent-so the question Ia now settled.

th.i,tn,as Gifts.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2l.-General Har-
rison's country friends are remembering
him as Christmas tide appears. From
Boonville, Mo-, G. H. Brands, commander
of the local Harrison and Morton club, sent
a monster Christmas turkey weighing
thirty-fve pounds; VIM. G. Shortridge, an
acquaintance of the general, residing in
Vermillion county, sent two very large
turkeys. This evenings express brought a
PAIR Of big, fat wild geese from Mattaben,
Mo. They were shot by Everett Fulton
and presented to the local Harrison and
Morton club, who presented them to the
general, saying: "The club boys beg you
to accept them as a Christmas token."
Looking at the big geese the general re-
marked that he believed they were the
largest he had ever seen. Another present
that arrived to-day was a keg of excellent
cider from j. III. Kains, a democratic farmer
near Pleasant Prairie, Wis, who writes
that he sends the cider in fulfillment of a
wager made with a republican neighbor,
who was pledged to send a similar keg to
Cleveland in case of his election. He trusts
the general and his family will enjoy the
cider, even though it comes from demo-
Gratis orchard. General Harrison and
Senator Saunders were out for short ride
this evening. Tonight a number of neigh
bors dropped in and met Mr.. and Mrs.
Saunders.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 21.-The sensational
romance telegraphed here this morning
from special indianapolis dispatch
printed in New York paper purporting
to relate to the discovery of a plot to assas-
sinate President-elect Harrison, created
great indignation among General Harri-
sons many friends. At Harrison's house
the whole story was unhesitatingly de-
clared the purest Justification. Those
nearest the general declare it to be crea-
tion of malicious mind and without a
shadow upon which to build it. No one in
the city can be found who ever heard of
the alleged attempt upon General Harri-
sons life nor had any thought of such a
possibility engaged the consideration of
any Of the generalss friends. nor his fam
lily, so far asdcligentinquiry can ascertain.
The fiction from New York, therefore,
causes all the greater indignation, as it
leaves the correspondent, who is notorious
among the local newspaper fraternity, as
an unreliable reporter without the slightest
grounds of fact upon which to ground his
story. Several kilograms have been re-
ceived at his house this morning, asking
about the truthfulness OF the story. 1t is
understood General Harrison will not
! dignity tic publication by any denial. He
does not seem disturbed by the story. He
came down the street this morning as
usual. returning home about o'clock.

As compact statement of the case, the
convention adopted memorial to congress
which, after urging division on the seventh
standard parallel and immediate admis-
sion, continues as follows:
sWe desire most respectfully to repre-
sent that the admission of the territory OF
Dakota BY the east and west lines has for
many years been desired and expected by
its citizens. That the congress of the
United States has been memOralizeu to that
end without avail by sixteen successive
legislative assemblies; that in view of such
expectancy a penal, charitable and educa-
tional institution has been duplicated in
the north and south; that in like manner
the religious sects have established north
ern and southern bistopries, and that an
ticipating division throughout all these
years intervening since the first settlement
OF the territory, all hope has been guided
and all interests builded to that end."
at then proceeds to recount the varied
wealth of the country, stating it is rich in
all manner of mineral and vegetable pro-
ducts. That the people are in everyway
for statehood; that the area of the pro-
posed new states would be exceeded only
by eight of the present states and that the
population is such as to warrant all re-
quests that have been made for admission.
The constitution adopted at the election in
1885 is considered as proper and in every
way desirable. Immediate action is urged.
The convention was representative
one, and all parts of the territory joined in
