The Captains PRAYER.

Capt. Van Etten is nothing if not sem
sational. His trip to Bismarck overland
on lecture tour attracted the attention
Of the entire country and his vote upon
all measures is given with thunder clap
spontaneity that arouses the surrounding
country for miles. The captain did not
go to Grand Forks. While the majority
of the Dakota Legislators went whirling
away to the Red River valley he and a
number of the other hard working mem
bers remained in Bismarck and on Satur-
day held session which was made
memorable in many ways. Among
events of the day was Capt. Van Etten's
prayer (the official chaplain being alb.
sent), which comes to us as follows:
go Lord, bless this house. OF course,
as can be seen by careful observation,
there are not many Of us here, the ma
jority having gone on junketing to
Grand Forks o Lord, thou knowest
their motives in going. If it is in the
best interests Of the country (which
seems very doubtfuD thou wilt bless
them, but if it is for the pleasures of
this world, do with them what seemest
best. o Lord, save us all at last
junketers and all, if possible"
This may not be a verbatim report of
the earnest captains prayer, but it is as
the words are reported to u.s. The cap
tain wins the palm.-Bismarck Cd. IT,

He Never Struck His Children.

81 have never struck my two chill
dren," said a young American father the
other day, though I have often been
tempted strongly to it, and sometimes
would not have blamed any parent for
doing so. But was thrashed SO much
by my own father, good enough man,
too, that l always stood in fear of him,
seldom told him the truth if could help
it, and never confded in him. Often |
was whipped for errors had committed
with good intentions, and I remember
the wild spirit of hatred that used to
come over me at such times, when,
smarting under the blows I felt did not
deserve, 1 would get away by myself
and swear silent but bitter oaths that
would have opened the old gentleman's
eyes to his folly, perhaps, if he could
have heard them from SO young child.
So made a vow that l would never
beat my own children. And now feel
sure that they do not stand in physical
fear of me, I am pretty certain they tell
me the truth, and I Know they confide
in me as a friend. And though they do
not obey me nearly as implicitly as / did
my father, and make themselves much
moro Of nuisance to me than was to
him, yet they don't regard me as bully,
and that is something" New York

Are Animals superstitious?

Do animals see ghosts? Ofcourse there
are no ghosts. but that makes no differ
ence. Science and philosophy agree that
it is not at all improbable that nothing
really exists and that nothing is except
perturbations of brain cells. ANYTHING
that we may think we see may not, after
all, have any existence-at any rate, it
does not exist as we see it. Do animals
know about ghosts and do they think
they see them? In his latest book Sir
John Lubbock undertakes to tell how the
world appears to animals, but he doesn't
enter into the possibilities Of superstitions
among dogs and horses, for instance.
Certainly, the world does not appear the
same to the ant that it does to man; and
not quite the same to the dog or the horse,
since the dog and the horse do not laugh.
II we take the conclusions Of science re-
specting the development OF the intelN-
genoe. we ought to be able to believe that
the more intelligent Of the lower animals
have superstitions that correspond in
some measure to those of the least intel
Hgent human beings. ..-...-
Thatmany animals reason, draw logical
differences beyond the operation of in
stinct. is pretty well settled Whett q
dog or horse has exhausted all It's ex-
perience in attempting to account for
certain phenomena, does it conclude that
the thing is supernatural or out of the
order Of applicable phenomena? Novel
lists tell us about the amazing fear Of
dogs and horses ordinarily fearless, when
placed under conditions that excite the
fear Of superstitious persons Are there
facts to warrant thiss II dogs and horses
see ghosts they must be capable of the
simplest form Of religious emotion; that
is to say, the fear of the inexplicable,
which in the savage is regarded by science
as the beginning of religion Dogs hasve
what In science passes for moral sense.
They are conscious Of wrong doing and
practice self restraint OF course it all
grows out Of the experience that the do
ing OF certain things is attended with
more pain han the momentary pleasure,
but this, science tells us, is the basis of
the moral sense. At oil events, science
is bound to admit the potentiality of
superstitions in animals. - Milwaukee

A Colorado Wonder.

s. M. Hardy. Of Hardy's Ranch, Wal.
lace county, Kan, while on q recent
hunting trip In Kansas and Colorado
with friend, went to the ranch OF
Charles KRIS, about five miles southwest
of Grenada. Colo, beside deep gulch,
where away down flows tributary to
the Arkansas river. KRIS readily gave
them shelter for the night, remarking
that it was seldom that guestseverc called
in that lonely place. He told them also
that seven years before this he had lived
on the Pecos river, at the foot Of a noun
tain spur, herding cattle, and one day q
large bear entered the chicken coop and
his wife ran to the rescue, She got such
q fright that she was sick for several
months, ana then they moved to their
present home. Mrs. KRIS gave birth to
q child shortly after, which was never
known to have been seen by any one.
Tbs visitors heard strange noises which
seemed to emanate from closed closet
They also heard Mrs. KRIS singing and
asked KRIS If he had any children. He
then said: II will show you curiosity,
but you must never breathe it." He
then showed them child three feet
high, weighing forty pounds aud COM
pound of human being, bear and chicken.
Its head was like that Of bear, but its
eyes were those of a human and its ears
were combination of human and bear,
as were its mouth and chin There was
a full growth of soft hair over the face,
head and neck. In place of arms it had
feathered wings. The mother loves it
dearly, and will not permit it to be ex-
hibited.-Kansas City Times.

OPPOSITION TO BREWER.

Fears That He Favors Corporations
Rather Than the Public.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE executive
session of the Senate this afternoon lasted
more than two hours. The principal topic
OF discussion was the nomination Of Judge
David j. Brewer to be associate justice of
the supreme court. This was called up by
Mr.. ingalls, upon favorable report of the
committee on the judiciary. Although
there was no minority report, con-
firmation Of the nomination was opposed
by senator's of both parties it is said, who
based their objections upon two grounds:
First, his decisions in the prohibition cases
in Kansas, which were afterwar reversed
bv the supreme court; second, that the
statement OF facts in Judge Gresham's re-
view OF the appointment Of receivers OF the
Wabash system of railroads by Judge
Brewer, whose order in the case Judge
Gresham vacated so far as it affected the
roads within the limits Of his circuit, justify
a suspicion that Judge Brewer is friend OF
corporation interests as against tho of the
public, and that the facts, as stated in
Judge Gresham's review, warrant an in
vestigation. The friends of Judge Brewer,
it Is said, deny that he was in anywise
unduly Influenced, but adjournment came
before the case was disposed OF. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the nomination will
be confirmed, probably tomorrow.

COOLEY's CONDITION.
Fears That His Health Will Compel
Him to Resign.

hlLl 10 Eb0SlBu.
WASHINGTON, Dec. .17.-Chairman Cooley
of the interstate commerce commission has
gone back to Ann Arbor, and is not likely
to return. His health was in such condi-
tion when he came here that nothing but
his own masterful will could have brought
him on. His body was weak, and his mind
was almost as enfeebled. Unfortunately for
him, he took rooms at Wo mly's, instead of
going back to his old quarters at another
hotel, and SO saw q great deal of Mr.. Gowen,
with whom his relations had always been
friendly. They lunched together tae last
time Mr.. Gowen was in the dining-room.
SHOCKED BY GowEN's SUICIDE.
Being in the hotel at the time Mr.
Gowen's suicide was discovered, he heard
the news suddenly and was greatly shocked
by it. He was thrown back by the shock
into the depths of his former disability, and
Yesterday had to leave for his home with
little expectation of returning. 1t may be
that his resignation will be soon forthcom-
ing, for the commission is sadly embarrassed
by his absence, which leaves it an even in
stead Of an odd number, and also increases
eaca members work one-fourth. Litigants
before the commission. object to its present
state. because it deprives them of a full
hearing. Judge Cooley does not want to
resign. He will remain to the last possible
moment. but it seems certain that he will
have to resign eventually.
