GOOD FOR REPAIRS.

Some ingenious people gravely and
deliberately argue that the reputed dis
covery that surprising results are OBJ
tanned by the Injection of animal es-
sence under the cuticle are overweight
in the popular phraseology. They in
siSt that it is impossible for such in
fusion to restore and rebuild. The eX-
hausted tissues and fibers cannot be
made new by such application. 1t is
not probable that any considerable per-
son has been deceived by the popular
badinage or faeetious picturing. The
evidence is hardly open to discredit
that very remarkable immediate re-
suits are produced, and it is probable
it will be found very valuable Access
sion to physical science; but no thought
full person is likely to be misled into an
ticipating any marked prolongation of
life, or permanent restoration to the
vigor of youth. 1t is not impossible,
however, that it may be very efficient
agent in removing clogs to the opera
ton of the human machinery, and aid
materially in restoring healthful ac-
tivity.

HOG CHOLERA.

The report of the government COM
mission, consisting of a member each
from Illinois. Pennsylvania and South
Carolina. which has devoted a great
deal of time 10 the investigation of hog
cholera, gives a mass of information
that will be read with interest. AS the
annual loss by the diseases among swine
that pass as cholera is estimated at $50
100000, the voluminous pages of the re-
port will be eagerly scanned for definite
suggestions of relief. Hog growers
have been experimenting and testing
remedies for many years. and the hogs
have gone on dying with small regard
to their efforts. This commission seems
to be composed of capable scientific
gentlemen, but they do not appear to
have found out anything certain about
the diseases that are so destructive to
the great industry. They do not urge
either innoculation or determination of
infected animals, which are the meth
DDS chiefly advocated by those who dis
cuss the subject. The situation is not
made more hopeful by the report.

THE SIOUX RESERVATION.

People in the vicinity of the lands of
the Sioux reservation TO be opened
protest vigorously against the represen-
tation sent out from Washington, that
the action of the commission must be
reviewed by congress before the presi-
dent can declare the lands open to set
tiers. This would. of course. carry the
matter into the winter, and defer en-
trance upon the lands till next spring.
The law has not been so understood by
those active in securing it, and it would
necessitate utterly useless delay. 1t is
an absurd view, and involves bad faith
to the Indians, as well as suffering and
annoyance to the people who have so
long been waiting to enter the supposed
Canaan. Congress specified the terms,
the Indians have complied with them,
aud if it is now optional with congress to
approve or disapprove, the Indians
may well doubt the fairness of the
transaction. 1t is not believed the
president will so understand the mat
ter. There should be as little delay as
possible in opening the way to settlers.

Chicago's Misery Millionaire.

The man who told me this story had
something to say about "Old Hutch, !"
of course. 1 never talked to board of
trade man ten minutes without hearing
something about the remarkable old
man. He seems to be as persistent in get
ting into mems minds and on their
tongues as was Charles |. in Mr.. Dicks
Memoirs. This man said:
'sYou can find old Hutch ION one of
the stools at cheap lunch counter down
near the Board every morning of the
week. Goes in there regularly and
orders two soft-boiled eggs and rolls.
and he looks at the check as closely as
any poor clerk in town. How's that for
a man with his money? Millions and
millions of wealth, and eating Is OF 20
cent breakfast. But that's his style.
He surprised me the other day. AS long
as Pve been around the Board l never
saw Old Hutch wear anything but
black SLOUGH hat; but the other day he
appeared with one of the new style
straw with straight. stiff brIm. Nobody
could look at him without smiling,
and the old man tumbled' and wore it
only one dav. He doesn't care for dress,
or comfort, or good living, anyway. He
has just one passion in life. and that's
gambling. He is the first man on the
floor Of the Board always, and the last
one to leave it. The excitement of the
trading hours is the meat and drink of
his life. BE reyelS in it. Imagine, if
you can. the supreme delight to such
man of running corner such as he
manipulated last December. But he's
almost parsimonious in his daily life,
l saw him at the theater one time alone,
sitting in parquet seat without soul
to talk to. He's a oner; that's what

The POLITICAL CAULDRoN.

The average Minnesota politician is
firm believer in the truthfulness of the
old adage that is the early bird which
catches the worm. On the strength Of
this belief they are now industriously
at work setting up the pins for next
years convention. That there is to be
triangular fight over the governorship
is matter of common notoriety, and
that the succession to Gov. DAVIS place
in the senate is the objective point in
the minds of most of the aSpirantS seems
to be equally well understood. The
senior senator is still himself in the
his own successor; and it is limited
around that his end of the contest in the
gubernatorial struggle will be held up
by eX-Gov. MCGIIL as proxy. The
MERRIAM-WA combination of
last season holds over, and to all out
ward appearances holds the vantage
ground as well. The really disturbing
element is the newborn ambition of
Secretary WINDOW to use the guberna-
torial office as stepping stone to the
senate, and it is that which has pro-
duced so much excitement and activ-
ity in the camps of the other
candidates. 1t so happens that Mr..
WINDOWS position as a cabinet Off
Ger makes him most formidable
candidate, for the simple reason that he
can control the entire federal patronage,
to the exclusion of both the senators
and the entire delegation in the lower
house of congress. MI. WINDOWS in
clination to run Minnesota politics on
the line marked out by himself has al
ready been manifested, to the sorrow of
both the senators from this state. 1t is
given out semi-oficially at Washington
that there will be no more important ap-
pointments made in Minnesota until
the terms of the various Democratic in
cumbents have expired. This will run
most of these appointments over the
time for holding the next state conven-
ton, and will thus afford Mr.. WINDOW,
as patronage dispenser, great advan-
tage over his competitors for the guber-
material nomination. For campaign pur-
poses an appointment not yet conferred
10 WI III q OCOlO VI VlAtU
have been made, for there are at least
twenty men expecting the Office that
only one man can fill. If the applicants
for the various Offices can be made to
understand that the chances of ap-
pointment will depend upon their 10y
atty to the man who dispenses the Of
fees, that of itself will organize an
army of WINDOW workers in the state.
1t is also stated that President HAIR
RIsoN has been displeased by the
rumor that has reached his ears of the
BLAINE movement that has been Or
ganized in Minnesota, and with which
both the senators are supposed to be
identified; consequently he will give
his trusted cabinet officer carte
blanche privilege to use the appointing
power in an attemptto burst the BLAINE
boom. These are the reasons why such
apprehensions prevail among the home
politicians, and why the political pot
has been started to boil so early in the
day. In the meantime disinterested
spectators are watching the hubbub
with increased interest, yet with sort
of an undercurrent of belief that it will
RESULT in the old way of the biggest
purse bagging the game.

What a jag" Is.

San Francisco Alta.
An inquirer asks us the meaning OF
the word lag" applied to inebriety.
1t is new slang. In the rural districts
the cargo of wagon that is hauling
wood, when all that the wagon can
carry, is called load" When it is
less than up to the full capacity it is
called jag" Therefore, when man
is less than dead drunk he has not a
load on, but merely jag. We hope
our questioner will never get beyond a
jag. Gladstone used to drink a half
pint of port at dinner. He has recently
increased the quantity to pint and
says it does not affect him as much as
the half-pint did twenty years ago.
That shows thrt he's sound old boy.
What would have been load for him
at sixty is only jag at eighty.

Some True Stories About the He
suits of the Tender Passion.


Some True Stories About the Re-
suits of the Tender Passion.
San Lucas Herald.
Thirty-six years ago William Hart,
then widower with two children, and
now respected citizen of San Lucas,
was married to young lady in Charles
ton, Ill. They lived in the East short
time. and then turned their faces to-
ward the Golden Gate. Finally they
reached MarySville and took up their
residence at Strawberry Valley, which
is situated short distance from that
city. They had lived together now
nearly nine years, and their welded
life had been blessed by the birth of
two children, but death had entered the
family and claimed them both. All
these years they had lived together, but
at last an evil day drew nigh, and, like
many another young couple, they sepa-
rated, each taking an opposite path in
life.
Three weeks after the separation a
son was born to Mrs. Hart. Some time
afterward MIR. Hart CHANGED to see his
only living son, who at that time was
but three months old. During
the lapse of years which in
and the present, Mr.. Hart
heard nothing from his son or his for.
mer wife. He knew not whether they
were dead or had taken up their abode
in some far-away country. Our story
is now centered in the Los Burrows
mining district ON the west coast of
Monterey county, where during the
past few weeks certain very strange
things have come to light. Mrs. E.
Caldwell, who is daughter of Mr.. Hart
by his first wife, is living with her huS-
band at the mines, where they keep
hotel.
COMING TOGETHER.
About six weeks since two men from
Washington territory came to Los Bur-
ros and engaged board and lodgings at
the CaldWall hotel. The names of these
gentlemen were Thomas Kelley and T.
b. Hart, the former desiring to invest
In land. 1t seems that there is no regu
lar postOftce at the mines, but all the
mail is received at the Caldwell house
sons. One evening, as Mrs. Cald-
well handed letter to t. B. Hart, she
remarked that her name was Hart be-
fore her marriage. This aroused
thinking in the mind of Mr.. Hart, and
he at once became convinced that he
had found his sister. He informed Mr..
Kelley of the fact, but the latter
thought the idea an absurd one.
Finally, however, Kelley had talk
with E. Caldwell, who told him certain
facts which proved that T. 3. Hart and
Mrs. E. Caldwell were indeed related.
The meeting of the two after these facts
were ascertained was of course very
joyful one. Mrs. Caldwell came to town
Sunday and informed her father that
his son, whom he had not seen for
Twenty-Five years, was at her home at
the mines. Mr.. Hart was. of course,
OverjoyOd at hearing news from the son
whom he never expected to see and
knew not whether he was dead or
alive. The most remarkable part of the
story is that Mr.. Harris former wife is
residing near Bradley. She has since
remarked, and her name is Pollard. and
she is surrounded by happy family of
children. This is truthful narrative
of romance in real life.
