THE inquiry into live stock rates on
Chicago railroads brings into promi-
nence the supreme selfishness of that
city. Although the railroads have in
every possible way catered to her de-
sires to control the products of the west
she is constantly clamoring for addi-
tional favors. She would place every
city in the west under her heel and
crush out every commercial competitor.
Her packers say that the receipts of live
hogs are not sufficient by half to keep
the packeries running, and they de-
mand that the rates on dressed meat be
raised so that stock will have to be
shipped direct to that city. None are
SO blind as those who will not see. The
supremacy of Chicago as the porkopolis
of the country is on the wane, and she
cannot regain her vantage ground by
any possible discrimination which the
railroads can impose. The packing
center of the country has moved to the
Missouri valley. 1t is there to stay,
and the combinations and lamentations
of Chicago can not prevail against it.

THE addresses with which ministers
to foreign courts accompany the presen-
tation of their credentials are usually
of the most formal and commonplace
character. Mr.. Thomas, minister to
Sweden and Norway, made something
of a departure in presenting his Gre
dentials to King Oscar. He entertained
his majesty with an eloquent address, in
which he paid a merited compliment to
the Scandinavian population of the
United States. mo people in the
world, said he, .'receive a warmer well
come on our shores, none make better
citizens of our republic than the sons
and daughters of the lofty north. They
bring with them the honesty and in
dustry, the patience and fortltude, the
hope and valor. the love of truth and
fear of God, that have ever distin-
guished the scandinavian and illumi-
nate the pages of history" 1t was a
hearty, generous and just tribute to a
people who are among the most useful,
loyal and worthy of American citizens.

"
THE people OF tho Pacific coast are
dissatisfied with the seal industry as
now conducted in Alaska. The sena-
torial committee taking testimony on
our relations with Canada has been told
by nearly every disinterested witness
that the monopoly enjoyed by the pow
erful Alaska company is doing more
harm to American interests than all
the poaching committed in the
Behring sea by the British.
In view of the international prominence
which the sealing question has al ready
assumed, we anticipate that the re-
latiou of the Alaska Seal company to
the United States government will be
| given wide publicity. The farming out
of the exclusive right to take seals. to
the Alaska Seal company, is gross in
| justice to the people of this country.
For a comparatively small bonus con-
| gress has, in the face of public protest,
ratified contracts with the Alaska Seal
company by which that concern is reap
ing millions of dollars annually by vir-
tue OF its monopoly. 1t is therefore to
be hoped that in the investigation
growing out of the alleged rights of the
British to take seals in the Behring
| sea, public sentiment will be so aroused
as to force congress to annul, as soon as
possible, the powers excised by the
Alaska Seal company. Whatever may
be the outcome of the dispute between
America and England, one thing is
clear, Our government should take
charge of the seal fisheries and permit
citizens of this country without dIstinc-
tion to engage in the Alaska sealing in-
dustry il they so choose.

Only a PHYSICIANS skeleton.


A ripple of excitement was created this
morning by the announcement that a skele-
ton had been discovered in an outhouse on
the alley between o and N street, back Of
Perkins Bros. boot aud shoe store. 1t
seems that carpenter had been put at work
to repair the outbuilding. 1t ha d six COM
partments, one of which was locked and
barred. On bursting the door open the
carpenter was Mortified to discover skele-
ton Of boy, probably twelve years of age,
and he proceeded to call In passers- by, the pro.
prietors of the boot and shoe store, and
finally notified the police force. Some of its
members were soon at the place with the
patrol wagon, and the skeleton was at once
loaded into it and taken to the station. For
a time there was such an air of mystery
about it that oil sorts Of rumors were put in
circulation, but investigation led to the dis
covery that the skeleton belonged to physi-
clan of the city, and the excitement was no
longer at fever heat 1t was then remem-
hered, also, that the same skeleton created
furore about q year ago; and to prevent
recurrence, the police force dug a hasty
grave in some obscure spot, and that sKele-
ton will be known no more.

HoMster-Ke drney.

A very pretty wedding was solem-
nized in Hanover, Illinois, on Wed
nesday evening, June 10th, the con-
tracing parties being DIR. Otis &.
HOLSTER, of THE Dells, Oregon, and
Miss Katie Kearney, daughter, OF the
late j. Kearsley kearney, of Sykes
Vile, Md, and sister of Mrs. Ohio
Williams, of Shepherdstown. Rev.
q. A. Mitchell, paster of the first
Presbyterian Church of Hanover, was
the officiating minister. The bride is
a blonde of the purest type, very
pretty and a great favorite. She
was given away by her brother, K. M.
Kearney, who also resides in the far
West. DIR. HOLSTER is an eminent
physician of The Dells," Oregon,
where their future home will be. He
succeeds his father in large practice,
and is a young man of upright char
acter and strictly moral habits, and
is an honor to his profession. The
bridal couple left immediately after
the ceremony for their distant home
with the best wishes of many friends,
especially those of the brides music
class, numbering about fifty scholars,
and as they departed the traditional
rice and old slipper were thrown at
them for good luck.

The Rlaasst Bass Yet.


The other day Mr.. Ben Benner, who
lives a short distance below Shop
herdstown, thought he would try his
luck fishing in the Potomac. He
used up the few bait he had without
getting any fish. Then he noticed
big toad hopping about, and he de-
termined to make use of the fat fellow.
He caught it and run his hook through
it and started to slowly paddle across
the river, leaving the line trailing
after the boat. Whiz-z-z, whir-r-r,
whiz-z-z, went his reel all OF a sudden.
He grabbed his rod and tried to pull
his fish in. but the bass that he had
hooked wasn't to be taken without
struggle. He pulled like locomotive
and he just kept Mr.. Benner IN
lively state of excitement for hall
hour or more. After the fish had e1-
hausted all his efforts to get away ne
gave up, and allowed himself TO be
pulled up alongside the boat, where
he lay like a baby on top OF the
water. The excited fisherman reached
down and got both hands under the
big bass, and gently lifted him into
the boat. He weighed seven pounds
and it is the biggest bass that has
been caught in these waters OF late
wears

What TO Do IN Drowning Cases.

Lay the person TO be treated upon
the back, then kneeling behind the
head seize each arm near the elbow
and move them round horizontally,
first away from the body then over
the head until they meet above 1t,
when they should be given strong
steady pull for a few seconds. Ihls
fills the lungs with air by drawing
the ribs up and so enlarging the cav
ity of the chest. The second
maneuvre consists in returning the
arms to their former position along
side the chest, and making strong
pressure against the lower ribs, so as
to drive the air out of the chest and
effect respiration. This should occupy
but a second of time, and be repeated
about sixteen times per minute 1or
some time, and not abandoned until
il has been ascertained that the heart
has ceased beating

That cantankerous Old Woman

Described In the nursery ballad, who lived
upon nothing but victuals and drink and
vet would never be quiet was undoubtedly
troubled with chrouic indigestion. Her
victuals, like those OF many other elderly
persons whose digestive powers have become
impaired, didn't agree with her. This was
before the era OF Hostetters stomach Buffers,
or some one OF her numerous friends and
relatives would undoubtedly have persuaded
her 10 try the great specific Tor dyspepsia,
constipation and biliousness. This would
have been measure OF self-protection on
theii part, for she would soon have been
cured and ceased TO disturb them with her
clamor The most obstinate cases of indges-

lence constant uneasiness OF the stomach
and OF the nerves, are completely overcome
by this sovereign remedy. ChIlls and fever
