take look at something we can't make out1"
l afterward recalled that IL was not the voice of
one OF my watch, but did not heed the matter at
the time. started forward, and had reached the
waist of the vessel when two men seized me- lifted
me clear Of the deck, and before l could recover
from my astonishment was flung overheard head
first. 1t was more by instinct than any plan of my
own that swan for the boat towing astern. Had
the brig not been sailing close hauled and there
fore sailing at q moderate pace, should not have
reached 1t. 1t was close shave, and as / hung to
the gunwale for q moment heard great confu-
sion on the brig. 1t was mutiny, of course, and /
was the first victim. MY IDEA TO get aboard
again as soon as possible and the only way was to
get into the yawl pull her close up and then shin
up the painter. After an effort two / pulled
myself in, and just then there oaths and cries
and pistol shots from the brig, followed by couple
OF splashes alongside, which meant that two bodies
living or dead, had gone overheard. had hold
of the painter when It was loosened from above,
and drifted rapidly astern. The fight continued
IS long as | was within hearing. l was out of 1t
entirely, and could only hope that our crew, who
were all good men, would overcome the mutineers
in the struggle.
After the brig was out of sight got sail on the
boat, and followed her to the best of my Judgment
1t was just in the gray of morning that was picked
up by British ship bound into Rio. 1t wasn't 50
very mysterious that we picked up the boat and
that her crew attempted our capture, but it GER
tainly was queer that from the hour she left to
this day that brig has never been heard of. But
for my escape she would have been rated as lost,
and the insurance paid. AS IL was the insurance
company contested payment and won their case in
court The insurance of that day, at least did not
provide for any such emergency. The naval and
merchant service ofevery power was notified OF the
circumstance, and for two or three years every
was under observation but the brig was never over
hauled, nor any of her old crew heard of. Ny idea
Is that she foundered within few days with all
hands, but others differ She certainly did not turn
pirate, and she was never heard Of as a wreck.
There was no such British ship the said, nor
was any craft burned as they stated. They must
have been lying in wait but 1t Is queer that they
would be so far out to sea in such boat Taken
all in ALL it was strange case, and one has
got the right end of the thread to solve the tange

MERRIAM'S GIFTS.
A Horde of Seekers after State
offices.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 12.-There are hun
dreds of busy Office seekers in the capt.
Ia. city just now, who are putting the fin
ishing touches upon their several claims.
The Governor is keeping pretty quiet
about his appointments, and it is pretty
difficult to make valuable predictions as
to who will get there. The ambitious
gentlemen who want to serve their
country as railway commissioners-and
they are legion-still remain in the cap
ital city or make frequent trips thIther.
There are good many who think it Is
pretty nearly settled that Barto, the
ponderous, Gibbs, the friend of the
farmer, and Becker, the Democrat of
military proclivities, will get the plums.
But the Governor has not let out any
hints that discourage others who have
their eyes on these places.
The race for the dairy commissioner
ship is getting interesting. w. j. Ives,
the present incumbent, and HI. G. How
ard, formerly his assistant, were few
weeks ago the only combatants. At the
present time it would take mathema-
tlcian and seer to figure out just how
many candidates there are in the field.
They have increased so fast within the
last week that even the candidates have
lost sight of each other. Ives thinks
he'll get it; Howard considers his
chances Al Gregg and Ames, and, well,
all the others on the list are equally con-
fident. Meanwhile. Gov. Merriam has
on his thinking cap and the would-be
oleomargarine-tasters are waiting.
The candidates for the wardenship of
the state prison seem to be conducting
systematic under-the-surface-c campaign.
None of them are making their wishes
public property. The Journal says there
is some gossip to the effect that the
present warden, Stordock, will be reap
pointed. The saltwater people still
continue to push one of their own num-
Der as candidate. Ex-Warden Reed,
now of this city, is still IN the held.
1t develops that there is a very lively
race for the insurance commissionership
The prominent insurance men of the
Twin cities are actively participating in
the contest. They want to see thor
oughly competent man in the position.
There are many other minor Offices
legislators in st. Paul are daily weighed
down with letters from their constitu-
ents, who have an itch for Office. They
have no hesitency in asking for what
they want.
"D-n the Office seeking sharks"
spitefully calculated country member
yesterday afternoon as he tore open a
dozen or more letters from home
Everyone of these fellows has written
wanting me to get an Office" he con-
tinued. "I've an idea that they think
j carry offices around in my pocket; I'll
just fool 'em." The embryo statesmen
of Minnesota are bothered almost as
much as are the senators and congress-
men at the nations capital.

AROUND THE STATE.

Austin meat markets had been missing
hogs from the slaughter houses, and no
clue could be found to the thieves. Park
Brandon, John Colby, Will Brennan
and Andrew Hall, four Youths, about IA
years old, were arrested, and Colby and
Brandon sent to the reform school,
E. G. Sprague, of Moorhead, who was
robbed of a 81 900 gold certificate on a
Northwestern passenger train recently,
has brought suit against the railroad
company for $4,000.
The Winona Philharmonic Society has
decided to give up the proposed carni-
vel, on account of the open winter. In
its place the old time masquerade ball
will be given Feb. 16.
The secretary of the treasury has
awarded the contract for the plans for
the public building at Duluth to III. G.
Linderman, of Washington, d. c., at
81, 100.
A scaffold at the West Duluth car
works collapsed and sent number of
workmen to the ground, IS feet beneath.
One man was seriously injured.
State weather report: The charac-
teristics of December were fair pleasant
weather, temperature much higher than
usual and precipitations deficient, espec-
tally in the center of the State. From
one to eight inches of snow was report
ed on the ground in the lower part of
the state at the end of the month, while
in the northern part the ground was
bare or only trace of snow.
The mean temperature for the month,
22.S degrees, is degrees above the De-
cember normal. The excess in the nor
thern part of the state was about 8 de-
grees, and in the south from to 6 de-
grees. The highest temperatures were
recorded on the 4th, 9th and 23rd, and
the coolest days were the 18th, 13tn, 10th,
21st and 31st. Frost occurred every day
in the northern part of the state and, but
on four days at stations in Southern
Minnesota, the mercury remained above
the freezing point. The extremes of
temperature were $751; degrees an st.
Paul on the 23rd, and 10 degrees below
zero at Pokegama Falls on the 18th;
range for the state, I'll degrees. At
the end of the month ice was nine inch
es thick at points in central Minneso-
ia, and the ground was frozen to the
depth of three feet.

Washington:

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at j. r.
Jones' Drug Store as their giving away
to their costumers of so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. His trade is simply
enormous in this very. valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung disease quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by gettinS

rotary of the interior to aid him in de-
Gliding the case. The law provides that
when the public domain in any district
shall fall below 100000 acres the presi-
