Is the North Getting Colder.

The clearing OF extensive forests
may explain the alleged improve.
ment in the climate of Chilli and Pat
agonia, where summer is said to lin.
ger half a month longer than hun
dred years ago. But if the tempera-
ture of the Southern Hemisphere is
increasing, it is at least equally GER
tain that the North is getting colder.
The Danish government has repeat

ton that the home of the Edda was
once quite as habitable as any part Of
modern Sweden. Greenland, too
once deserved its name, and there
is no doubt that Labrador once con-

For the GirlS.

There is always a period in girls
life when she Graves all sorts Of dainty
belongings, and where she can have
room to herself it is her delight to
adorn it with many pretty things.
It is right, too; if possible, girl
should have room of her own, where
her privacy should be respected, even
by her mother.
Given a plain, comfortable bed and
little stove for warmth, the rest Of
the belongings can be fashioned out
of very plain material.
l haYe in my recollection the mem.
DRY of one fashioned in one end Of
the upstairs part Of an unfinished
house. The rafters We're covered with
unbIeached muslin, as they burned
wood and the part called the room
was curtained off from the rest by
curtains.
Now. Of course, if you have COM
Portable rooms, this article will not be
of interest to you. There are some
who must make a great deal out OF a
little. 1t is to them [ come, To go
back. The bed was plain, but very
comfortabie-and in these days Of
cheap bed-covering5 could be made
very dainty.
There is nothing prettier than to
have it white one pair of nice
sized pillows with cases upon it, with
only good wide hem with some
little edge upon it, fastened with
tapes inside. A white spread. and
across the foot a scarf, either of wors-
ted or silk patchwork.
DressIng-chairs can be made out of
discarded one from the other part
Of the house. The legs sawed off
little, and the whole chair covered
with some pretty cretonne or sateen,
and a cushion for the seat of the
same.
A box for shoes and stockings made
of good-sized soap. box, with the
lid TO lift, and the whole put on cas-
tiers.
Two bags for soiled linen-a large
one, and a smaller one for collars and
cuffs. These should only be used tenn
porarly, and them removed to the
laundry basket.
a dressiug-case made of a dry
goods box, nicely papered inside and
covered outside to match the chairs.
On this a large pin-cushiOH, a box for
brush and comb, ana one for little
trinkets, hairpin holder and large
bottle Of some kind Of toiie! water.
On one of the shelves inside can
stand the bowl used for washing, and
when not in use it can be out of sight.
If, as III a great many homes, the
water is brought up only when need
ed, nothing in the line of toilet articles
will be necessary. Soap always, bat
this should be of a fine quality.
Tooth brush and nail brush also, as
these are quite Indispensable:
Now for carpet: I will give you
two | have seen. One was made of
Old-fashioned coyerlets-in blue ard
white, Another was pieces of all
kinds of carpet sewed together in a
hit-and-miss way. Both looked clean
and neat.
And, girls, right here let me say
that whatever makes shifts you do in
your own home. there is no use apol-
ogizing for them to any one coming
in. 1t is so much more beautiful to
bow to your circumstances, and make
the most of what you have, aud enjoy
it, than to fret about it or show any
sense of shame when a stranger hap
pens to come in and see you as you
are. If it is all clean and neat. it is
all right. l hope some one will be
able to fix up very coy place for
herself.-ErchG2ge.

MO IREAIX VEL

BISMARCK, Oak Sept. 10-Ihe report
that the commissioners now at the lower
agencies will soon return to Standing Rock
to treat with the Indians for the opening of
the reservation has aroused no small excite
ment among the opposing reds.
While it is believed that many of the op-
posing young Indians may sign If the proper
press ure is brought to bear, 1t is known that
Sitting Bull, Gall Bear and Big Head are as
bitterly opposed to it as ever. The published
report that Sitting Bull had signed the
treaty was shown him and he flew into a
rage accusing the man who started the re-
port of all the villianies
He says that this report was sent out by
some one friendly to the commissioner to
lesson his influence among his Indians, but
that he will show the whites that they can
not fool him. Gall still says be will never
sign and that he will sever all friendly ties
with the Indians that do. Notwithstanding
the attitude of the chiefs there are many
among the more friendly tribes who are
willing to sign.
Judge Wright's recent friendly speeches
have had a good effect on the Indians. 1t Is
understood that the commits sioners viii re
turn from Lower Brute TO Standing Ro'k
and will not visit the Cheyenne agency till
they have tried their powers once more on
Gall and Standing Bull. They do not care
to confront Red Cloud till they have &C
complished something at Standing Rock.

disturb the mourners, refrained kindly
from reminding the judge that the Rspubli-
can party had met with gratifying degree
of success in the so-called s.pigger wool"
enterprise, and that the signs were rather
encoura cling for the sleeps wool industry.
In the early part OF bis speech the judge
remarked that he proposed to confine him
self to present issues, and then he went on
and told about the time when there was
''two thousand million dollars of greenb ack
currency" And then he talked about the
surplus and said that the Democratic party
never had a surplus; but he didn't tell them
how fast the present administration is re-
ducing the present surplus. Then he talked
about the panic Of 1857, and about 1917. end
1887, aud talked about the tariff of 1924 ,
and then he seemed suddenly reminded of
his promise to confns himself to present
with C. Cleveland. OF course nobody would
looked kind o. solemn, until the judge told
them that he was all right; and they seemed
very glad to hear it.
Then the judge pulled some figures on
them, and talked, or rather read, about per-
centags; but a. the audience beg IN to thin
out, be didn't keep it up long. After awhile
the committees were ready to report, and
the great speech came to an end.
We are always glad to see and hear Judge
Campbell over here, and If it would not be
too hard on the Democrats, would Ike to
hear him in Kingman county at least once q
week during the campaign. But it would
indicate rather abnormal facial develop.
ment to ask one of their principal orators to
make Democratic speeches for the benefit Of
the Republican party.

THE CUBAN CYCLONE.
The Lealted Entirely Lost and Only One

HAVANA Sept 10.-An officer from the
Spanish gun boat Guardian, which rode out
the gale in the harbor, arrived here this
morning with the first officer with dispatches
relative to the loss Of the government
launch Lealted. not Sagna as first stated.
The report states that about 2:30 o'clock on
the night OF the Bird, when the wind shifted
from the northwes: to the west, and while
endeavoring to slip her cables to beach the
vessel under full head Of steam 4 huge
wave boarded her and washed everything
into the scuppers. Capt. Leonard went
down with his vessel.
The following morning the only survivor
OF the Lealted was rescued clingirg TO her
rigging.
The bodies Of the pilot and one seaman
only have been recovered. As the Great
Pacific and other communications with the
inland towns become established, the first
reports of the havoc caused by the hurricane
are confirmed. This 10 particularly the case
as Bratano, Ma,anzas, Cardenas. Sagoa and
other places on the north coast which have
suffered as much from the effects OF the

NEBRASKA RATES.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 10.-The state board
Of transportation has just held two days
session, discussing the question Of local re
auctions in freight rates in this state. The
discussion was upon the formula used in
Iowa and other states for the classification
of the rates, and the Union Pacific, Burlin z
ton and Northwestern roads Were present
and made arguments against reductions.
The other side was represented by the Lin
coin board Of trade and the Farmers ALL
ance. The discussion resulted in the adop-
tion of an order for tbs roads TO show cost
of construction, cost of operation and net
earnings, after which it is stated further
action will be taken. Those who have been
active in the efforts for rate reductions look
at it as delay, and the roads seem TO regard
i: as a victory for their SIDE. it il very
evident the delay will carry the question OF
reduction over until the new board OF
transportation comes into Office, January /

Special Correspondence Daily Eagle.
KINGMAN, Kan, Sept. 9.-The Democrats
of Kingman county held their convention
Saturday afternoon in this city, presumably
to their great satisfaction; certainly to the
amusement CT the Republicans.
1t wasn't so much OF q circus as the U. l..
convention was, and they didn't pass any
resolutions that they had to rescind, and
they didn't haye so many speeches, and tell
so many stories Of doubtful odor. 1t was,
on the whole, a very grave, decorous as
semblage Of rather solemn mien, and an APP
pearance of sad determination on their
couutenances, as befitted men assembled to
make an annual sacrifice of their best
friends.
The proceedings were not opened with
prayer by the presiding officer, notwith-
standing the auspiciousness OF the occasion,
and while waiting for the committees to re-
port. Judge Campbell, OF Wichita, was in
vited to address the asemblage.
He accepted the invitation.
Not wishing to encroach too strongly up
on the telegraphic columns, or to obliterate
the local department Ct the EAGLE,I viii not
undertake even q condensed synopsis Of the
judges speech But In order to do the ccca-
sion even partial justice, few points win
probably be in order.
The judge said that the tariff was tax;
that the removal Of that tax would enable
the manufactures to get his wool cheaper

dawn upon the speaker that he was talking
TO an audience composed largely OF farmers;
and as it would be rather embarrassing 10
attempt to explain how the farmer could get
more for his wool while the Manufactures
paid less, the judge remarked that he sup
posed his hearers were not much interested
in the wool growing anyhow.
Then the Judge attempted Will csEn- He

A DISASTROUS WRECK.
A Train Loaded With Veterans Telescoped
by Freight Train,

RECOVERED HER EYE-SIGHT.
A Miraculous Case Which is Pulling Buff
falO Doctors.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 1o-Mrs. Jennie
Robinson, Of Gosport, has recovered her
sight, after having been blind for year, in
a manner that is miraculous. She is q
comely, dark haired. little lady, 81 years old,
and her bright black eyes show no signs Of
her ever having been blind. A year ago she
and her husband lived at Drummondsville.
A large number Of Italian laborers were en-
ployed there. On October Is some Of them,
while under the influence of liquor, had a
violent dispute in front of the house Mrs.
Robinson lived in. During the fight they
drifted into the yard where, further argu-
ment seemed useless, dirks were drawn and
the men proceeded to carve each other.
Mrs. Robinson was holding her baby when
she saw the ARRAY. For a few moments she
could do nothing, but then she ran shriekipg
into the house and fell unconscious on the
floor. She apparently recovered, but next
morning discovered that her right eye,
while to all appearances as perfect as the
other, was totally blind. DR.. McGeary, OF
DrummOndsville,p pronounced the optic nerve
paralyzed as the result of the great fright,
and the case was pronounced hopeless.
Other doctors agreed with him. The left
eye grew worse and finally failed Mrs.
Robinson sought divine aid. One night she
had q dream, in which she seemed to be on a
rock amid seething waste Of waters, which
every moment seemed to engulf her. In an
agony of terror she waited until form,
which seemed to her to be that of Jesus,
floated over her; a voice came to her bidding
her to have faith and all would be we'll.
The storm abated, her fear vanished and
she awoke. The dream was repeated, and
afterwards she suffered terrible agony from
pains in her eyes. She became delirious
DR.. Falling was called and gave her soothing
powders. Next morning she awoke COM
pletely recovered. The doctor does not at
tempt to explain the cause Of the cure.

BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.

LoNDUN, Sept. 10.-The Market Lake
Express review Of the British grain trade
during the past week says: With the ex-
ception of q few showers the weather during
the past week has been fire. Much grain
has been secured, the quality of which is
much better than was expected. 1t is be-
lieved the quality also will exceed the esti-
matt; still the condition is Indifferent at the
best. The bulk of the samples have been
unified, value range from 24s to PAS for new
wheat. The sales have been 145, $40 quarters
at Bis Cd against q, 462 quarters at 29s Id,
during the corresponding period last year
A certain bulk Of the crop must be stacked
and will not find market until 1889 Coun-
try flour is scarce and prices have advanced
Cd, since Monday last, when prices were Cd
and is above the previous Monday. New
barleys are offered locally, but are not in
sufficient quantity. 1t is thought that the
nature of the crop is certain to be flinty and
the supply will be scarce. New oats are
offered but they are out of the condition.
The foreign wheat trade is steady and quiet
The trade is narrow. The arrivals have
amounted to 90.4l0 quarters.
