STREET TALK.

There are unclaimed messages at The
Rocky Mountain telegraph Office for A. B
Ellis, John Rudy and M. A. Sawtelle.
DR.. g. B. Sarehet, who lost his home and
office by Sundays fire, can now be found at
No. 512 North Main street, opposite Ben
Tibbey's residence.
Mike Smith, the miner who was fea rfullv
beaten and pounded by William Moylan at
Centerville last Monday night, is still in a
bad way at the Sisters hospital. DR.. Houeh
is attending him.
A lot OF goods which Mr.. Kahnweiler has
in transit will be stored in tie rear end OF
COINS store in the Capitol building, where
they will be allowed to remain until such
time as Mr.. Kahnweiler can secure a place
in which to do business.
It isnow thought that the loss to Fidelity
lodge, caused by Wednesday evenings fire.
will mot exceed $1,000, unless it should
turn out that the west wall of the building
was damaged b, water. The loss to the p.
D. q. A. will only be the destruction of re.
gala and lodge paraphenalia, and this is
covered by insurance. The greatest an.
noyance caused by the fire to both orders
is the temporary lack OF a meeting place.

From Fridays Daily.
Yesterday afternoon, at about 8 O'Clock,
number Of boys were playing in q house
in real OF Ben Tibbey's residence on
upper Main street, recently occupied by
Thomas Bryant. They found q quantity
OF old paper and other plumber in
one OF the rooms, and having obtained
possession Of some matches, piled the rub
bish in q heap and set it on fire. After it
was burning freely they all ran out but one
little shaver, about three years old. a SON
Of Mr.. Bryant. They left him in the room
and closed all the doors. Fortunately Mrs.
Miles, wko resides close by. saw smoke
issuing from the windows OF the building
and ran to the house, and opening the
door, was Mortified to see the little fellow
totter out. almost insensible from the
smoke and fright. Other neighbors also
hastened to the spot and succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the fire. which was gaining
rapid Roadway, and in q few moments
more would have been beyond their cou-
troll. The inside Of the building was badly
scorched as it was.

Port Barrow, Alaska, Correspondence O
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The United Stats relief station for ship
wrecked whalemen is at length established
at this place. Although admirable in it,
construction, the space allotted to any
crew or crews that may require shelter is
very merger. Under the direction of Cap.
tain Healy and Lieutenant Buhner oil the
Bear: gangs of carpenters and men from
the Thetis and Bear erected the buildings.
They were assisttd by carpenters from the
Pacific Steam Whaling c%ompany's vessels
and from other ships hailing from San
Francisco, the absence OF men from the
New Bedford ships being conspicuous, as
with but a few exceptions no men were
landed from the eastern owned vessels.
One feature OF the establishment of this
station is the fact that the keeper, Cap
tain Borden, has a large amount OF trading
goo,'s to purchase whalebOne and furs
with. The fact is strongly commented on
by the whalers, and also by the white men

OF a salary from the government, has free |
living, and is under no expense. A large |
amount OF stock was transported on the |
Bear, while on the other hand the men who
are located here have to pay freight on
their supplies, erect their own dwellings |
and take their chances in catching |
It is understood that a petition will be
to the secretary of the treasury
for the appointment of a commits.
stoned officer to take charge of the station. |
As it is there is no need of any keeper, "a
the station could be locked up and the kew
placed in charge of the represent alive of
the Pacific Steam Whaling ompan er
any responsible white man residing here.
Should any crew be wrecked the station
could be placed in car of the captain Or
OF the castaways. When The reve-
nue. cutter visits the Arctic the command.
ing officers could inspect the supplies.
There is O located on Point Barrow
spit the station of the Pacific Steam Whal-
ing company; also six young men engaged
in whaling on their own account. These
employees OF the whaling company and the
other men mentioned are working on lays,
or shares OF their catch. During the past
season six whales were caught by he " hites
and twenty-five by the natives, thus in
surfing a large supply OF blubber and meat
Tor winter use.
Despite the efforts OF Captain Healy and
his officers, the traffic in whisky and vile
alcoholic liquors continues. The manner
which this liquor is disposed of is repug.
to the natives, and they do not cease
TO acquaint Captain Healy and his officers
their desire that the liquor traffic should
be put an end to. The qualification of SEN
'ual passion is the price paid for the liquor,

Over Forty Miles Of the Road Ironed and

Over Forty Miles Of the Road Ironed and
Trains Running.
Work ON the Northern Pacific and Mon.
tana in progressing much more rapidly
than the general public seems to be aware.
Trains are now running on both ends
and all supplies necessary for building are
delivered at almost all points where needed
by construction trains. On the East end
thirty-six miles OF the track have been
ironed, from the Canyon house, at which
point the road connects with the main
line, towards the Jefferson. From this end
q little over four miles OF iron have been
laid and but q very short time will elapse
until the track is completed as far as the
tunnel. The latter, it is thought, will be
finished in about four weeks after which
the remainder of the work yet to be done
will be comparatively light. The prediction
that the entire road would be completed
and ready to be turned over to the oper.
ating department by December Is seems
in a fair way OF being verified.

THE DOCTOR.

Oh, doctor, id our house OF Ease
We scorn your counsel as we please;
When peach and Watermelon green
The bosom wrings with anguish keen;
When In the night the hoarse aka-whoop'
Rouses the house with fear of Group;
When midst the storm that rends the skies
..Newralagy" tackles grandma's eyes;
When roaring thunder clouds low hung
Retard the play OF ma 8 left lung;
When wintry drifts the roads impede,
And baby's nose begins to bleed;
When hub deep mud clogs all the way,
And Tommy's earache comes to stay;
Whene'er the least of human ills
Clamors for poultices or pills,
Come right away-no matter how
A ministering angel thou;
All aches and pains are cured by you,
Save pas tick dollar-I-owe-you.

boa constructor occurred at Grand View
last evening. About o'clock as Nrs.
II. N. Strait descended into the cellar Of
her residence she was tartled by loud
hiss and two nery red eyes looking diree t.
ly at her. Returning with lamp the
lady discovered a large snake coied
around p'ece Of wood. Taking q coal
shovel In her hand, Mrs. Strait prepared
TO do battle with the monster. The rep
tile, with loud hiss, sprang at the thor
oughly alarmed but brave woman. A
blow from the shovel knocked'the thrust
aside. Five consecutive times did the
snake retreat, aud then plunge through
the dlmly-lig hted air at the woman. At
last a aell-dirrcted stroke knocked the
reptile TO the floor. Following up the
blow, Mrs. Strait succeeded in killing the
Loa, and with fast-failing strength she
reached tho floor above. A party OF
neighbors were summone aud the snake
carried into the wood shed. IL proved tc

Big John Rollins ia the pride of the
reserve police on account OF his height,
which towers up to Elk feet eight aud a
quarter inches. Yesterday he had to
take O back seat on account of stranger
who strayed into the Central Station.
Signor deHoma, a Mexican, % years
old, was the man. He said that his
height was seven feet five inches, but he
had travelled with Barnum's Circus as
an eight foot giant.
He said that while EN- route from Co.
lumbus, Ohio, he fell asleep on the train
aud was robbed of S58. His ticket was
good to this city, but when he arrived
here he was without funds with which to
continue his journey to New York, where
he has an engagement. His mission In
visiting police headquarters was to OBJ
tain assistance. He was referred to De-
tectlve Allmendinger, who Is five feet six
inches IN height. The contrast was lu-
dicrous. Allmendinger requested the
giant to either stoop or sit down in order
that he could converse with him In an
ordinary tone of voice. Superintendent
Sager, OF the Electrical Bureau, offered
to loan the detective telephone, but the
giant sat down.
Chief Walker, of the Electrical Blu
reau, suggested that 1t might be goot
idea to employ the man to place carboni
in the electric lamps along Chestnu
street, and Director Wagner though
that with few such men the lamp

Philadelphia Ledger.
The schools OF Long Island city have
ha1 Tor three or four years a savings
bank system Intended to teach the pupils
lessons OF thrift. Every Monday morn
Ing the roll Is called, and the pupils who
desire to do so make deposits of money
with the teacher, who gives receipt
therefor, aud through the principal Of
the school transmits the money and al
account thereof to the Queens County
Savings Bank. The purpose of having
the deposits made in this public manner
Is evidently to stimulate the pupils to
efiorts to save, but, 1t may be feared,
Will do as much harm as good, awaken
ing feelings OF pride and OF jealousy and
heart-burning, odsetting the good innu-
ences. The responsibility and risk are
probably not very great, as the collec-
tons are small and the savings bank a
well-established institution. An effort Is
being made TO have the system extended
through the United States, but thus far
only 80 schools are reported as having
established what are In effect agencies for
savings banks. III Europe they are
much more common, France alone, IL Is
said, having nearly two and half mil
lion dollars invested through the agency
OF schools. The lessons Of thrift taught
by the regular saving Of small sums are
undoubtedly OF value, and the savings
themselves may relieve unexpected DIS
trees or open the way to business adj
yancement, but the lessons should be
given In way not TO arouse bad feelings
In the children, either of pride or envy, a
result that seems inevitable from the
Long Island system.

The story comes from Dakota that the
good people of Hamestown have been
treated to shower OF frogs. Years ago
thia interesting visitation would have In
spired awe and even fear, but the tntelli-
gent frontiersmen Of Dakota take a COM
mon ssnse view of the event. a very
lively hurricane was In the neighborhood
Just then, and the people think the frogs
were caught up from their place OF abode
In slough, had free ride on the wings
Of the storm, and were finally dumped
into the principal street of the town.
This view is certainly more plausible
than the old notion on similar occa0ions,
which was that the frogs of come other
world were making tour.
Professor Geikie says that falls of frogs
and toads are frequent occurrence in
Italy, but 1t Is noticed that the phenom-
euon always takes place near a wall, and
there is a grave suspicion that the little
hoppers arc merely washed from the roofs
and CUTTERS during heavy fall of rain.
A little science aud observation usually
strips these surprising occurrences Of
their mysterious aspects. The rain Of
blood that frightened the Hague nearly
out of its wits In the Seventeenth Cen.
tury was caused by an enormous swarm
of tiny red water fleas. Other saugui-
nary showers have had IN equally harm
less origin, and most OF them have GER
taioly been caused by rain falling through
very Giue red dust from desert regions,
which is sometimes carried through the
air for hundreds Of miles.
The peasantry of Andalusia In 1901
witnessed a shower of wheat, aud were
disposed TO think the good old days OF
the children Of Israel had returned when
provisions were providentlally supplied.
The explanation was very simple when it
was found out. Over in Africa, across
the Straits OF Gibraltar, some laborers
had been thresbinG wheat. While they
were ct their midday meal hurricane
swooped down, swept their threshing
iloor clean, lifted the grain thousands OF
feet in air by It's mighty suction, aud
finally sowed II over tho streets OF r
Spanish town. There is n good deal OF
humor in the pranka natvre occasionally
plays, though the world, before 1t UNDER
stood nature very well, otten thought
these sportive freaks were matters oil
very solemn aud portentious import.

Whore dwells dishonest pride;
For peace and love breathe DER us all,
And we can spurn tho seorn

And man must sweat where fraud pre-

And theft holds high command.
For cunning wins, while labor Tails,
Throughout the freest land.
Let not despair our souls enthrall,
For God Is with the right,
And we who feed and foster all
As readily can smite,
When gaunt privntion hRunts the den
And children cry for bread,
We wait the painted vormM then,
When labor strikes them dead.
We patient beasts, with human hearts,
Can bear the burden long,
But comes IA time when nature starts
To right the cruel wrong,
As when miasma nils the mir,

The thunder's roll, the lightning's glare
And storms come on anain.

In the Revue Scientldque, NJ. Variot
gives the following as method for re-
moving tattoo marks: The skin is first
covered with concentrated solution OF
tanuin, and retattoocj with this in parts
to be cleared, Then an ordinary nitrate
of silver crayon is rubbed over these parts,
which become black by formation Of tan
nate of oliver in the superficial layer of
the dermis. Tannln powder is sprlnkled
on the surface several times Jay for
some days to dry 1t. A dark crust forms,
which loses color in three or four days,
and In fortnight or 60 comes away,
leaving reddish scar, free OF tattoo
marks, and, in few months, little no.
