AT a recent meeting of the American

Thompson. of Canada, said that some
birds, especially sparrows, have VEN

prised in the act of singing will be ST.

faint song that seems to come from a

further than ten feet away. Thrushes
and robins, the lecturer said, also have
this power.

A MAN OF MEANS.


How He Accumulated Five Million Dol
lars In Twelve Years
A medium-sized, middle-aged man,
with an iron-gray mustache and or
hand ways, though of few words, ar
rived here the other day over the Cali
fornia and Oregon road. He is a man
who has made great deal of stir
in half dozen Territories and States
of the West, and is yet doing 1t, and Is
talked about great deal.
The quiet, unassuming man was Dem
mis- Ryan, the five-times millionaire,
builder Of the gigantic Ryan hotel in
st. Paul, railroad-builder and silver
mine owner. His family are with him,
and will remain all winter, but Mr..
Ryan himself will stay but short
time.
Mr.. Ryan has led strangely check
cred life. Up to 1876. it is said, he had
no money at all, and had the hardest
kind of work to get along.
In that year. while toiling as COM
mon miner, he struck it rich in the
Rebel mine. one hundred miles from
Phoebe. in Nevada, and sold out for

twO-th1rdS their laOOrS away. IL Is an
intricate and delicate affair, known
only to perfection among the Eskimo.
We left the kind Eskimo on Backs
liver December II. having been joined
by my other two sledges. From now
on, the thermometer sank to 60 o
CSC and once SO >, and the gentlest
zephyrs cut like razors- We had sup
posed we would make twenty or thirty
miles q day on the level ice of the
river and be home by New Years. But
instead of being better sledging it was
much worse than on the rolling land,
and we seldom made over five or six
miles a day. So at last we left the
river and started straight-away across
the hills.
On the third of January it was
seventy-one below zero-one hundred
and three degrees below freezing-the
coolest weather on the trip and the
coolest ever endured by white men
travelling. for that day we moved camp
ten or twelve miles further on. Our
fish were now rapidly disappearing,
and coupled with the intense cold and
hard work our poor dogs were faring
badly. At the time we left the river
we had lost one fine dog. We were
stripped of all but nineteen when we
reached Hudson's Bay. Worst OF all
our fatty food was entirely gone.
With q goodly amount of this
q person or an animal can re-
s;st bitter cold; but the lean and
blue reindeer meat gave but little
sustenance to the poor brutes doing
such hard work in such severe weather,
There was none too much ogive them,
either, so short were the days-bui
two or three hours long-in which oul
Eskimo could hunt them. All this told
terribly. Hardly day past that w
did not lose . dog or two.

H, DAKOTA PIONEER PRESS SPECIALS
ST. PAUL, Oct. Later returns re-
ceived by the Pioneer Press indicate the
adoption of the prohibition proposition in
South Dakota, ana the defeat of the clause
for minority representation. From North
Dakota the present returns indicate the
election of fourteen republicans to the
legislature and two democrats other
districts not yet having been heard from.
ST. PAUL GLOBE ESTIMATES.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 1.-At midnight returns
to the Globe (dem. indicate that Washing
ton has elected republican governor and
congressman by 1000 and the legislature
by fifteen majority. Montana is close with
the probabilities in favor of the democrats,
who seem to have elected the governor and
legislature. The congressman is in doubt
with Carter (rep.) running ahead of his
ticket. In North Dakota the democrats
get three judges and twenty-three men,
bers of the legislature. The vote on pro-
hibition is close. In South Dakota the
republicans get clean sweep. On the
capital fight, Pierre is in the lead with
Huron next and the others we'll in the rear.

SOUTH DAKOTA.

SIOUX FALLS CLAIMS THE CAPITAL.
SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Oct. 1.-Up to
O'Clock no returns have been received
which afford an indication as to the result
Of the state election. The constitution and
the republican ticket throughoutis success
full by large majority. OF course the
main interest centers in the location for the
temporary capital and the question of pro-
hibition. Returns to the Daily Press from
25 out of 525 precincts, not including the
city Of Sioux Falls, give total Of 4,442

BUTTE AND ANACONDA DEMOCRATIC.
HELENA, Oct. 1.-The returns up to IL
o'clock show almost a complete change in
the vote in Montana from the last con-
gressional election. The counties of Deer
Lodge and Silver Bow, in which the towns
of Anaconda and Butte are situated and
which gave last year republican majority
of $500 have gone democratic this year.
The democratic managers claim the en-
tire state ticket and majority of the leg
islature. The journal (rep.) claims the
state for Carter by $500, and says Power
will not run more than 500 behind it, and
says the legislature cannot be forecast,
but is confident of republican majority.
The Journal says the country districts
show large republican gains over Carter's
majority of 5000 last year, and returns
from Butte and Deer Lodge cannot over
come the republican country districts.
The result cannot be surely known before
tomorrow.
Special to the Pioneer Press: at mid
right the returns from thirty-three pre-
cincts outside the large cities gave Carter
(rep.) 1873; Maginnis (dem.) /, ,1O9; Power
(rep.) for governor 1,77S; Toole 1858; maxi
ing net republican gain of 287. The re-
,publicans claim Silver Bow county by $50

AN ABERDEEN ESTIMATE.

ABERDEEN, OAK, Oct. brown county
is probably an index of the election in the
state. Pierre carries to county and the
state for the temporary capital; Huron
second; Sioux Falls third. The republican
ticket is elected by $4,000 majority. Pro-
hibiti0n is carried by 1900. The returns
are coming in slowly and these figures are
the best estimate that can now be given.

Very Risky Indeed.

To tamper with symptoms indicative of
growing kidney disorder; to neglect for a brief
time needful stimulation of the renal organs
when their inactivity points, as it always and
Enthusiastically does, to their eventual permau.
ent disease, is certainly very risky indeed.
This is, however, risk that many persons
perceptiby drifting into Bright's disease,
diabetes, catarrh of the bladder. &c, constant
~ incur. TothOse who read. reflect and heed
the lessons Of recorded experience, the advis-
ability of using HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
as a diuretiC, need scarcely more than a sug-
RestiOn. No fact is more generally admitted
by the medical profession and the public than
its efficacy for the prevention Of serious renal
disease. The unmedicated eXCitants Of COM

act prejudicially upon the kidneys when in
active. The Bitters subdues malaria, constr

rAr,sus FASCINATING FIGURES.

T. E. Parish, Commissioner of Im- migration" for Arizona, essays the role of statistician, with view of enlight- ening U. $. Senator Stewart, chair man of Committee on Irrigation, and gives highly artificial coloring to subjects treated of, not warranted by facts. By stretch of imagination he places the population of Arizona at 105,000. If true, 1t certainly shows a marvellous boom for the Territory in nine years. The U. S. census of 1880 gives Arizona 10000 people, Parish, the lightning calculator, figures the increase since then at l62a per cent, or Is per. cent per annum, which is simply bosh.
 The gross exaggeration of Farish's figures will be more readily appre- ciated by giving his estimates by coun- ties, and comparing them with those given by Governor WolHey in his re- port to the Secretary of the interior
