NATURES WORST FREAK.
A Horrible DefOrmity Viewed by
Union Depot Crowds.

Union Depot Cf0WI3.
OF all the hideously-deformed human
beings ever found within the limits of
the city of st. Paul, child seen at the
union depot yesterday was the most
hideous. Human malformations have
been unearthed in this vicinity from
time to time, notably the Skorabuski
freak, and the awful hOOdO0 of the b.
hemian flats in Minneapolis. but in these
the malformatiOn was not facial, and
the full horror of the deformity did not
so forcibly strike the observer as was
the case with this most recent of freaks.
The child referred to was accompa-
MED by its parents, Norwegian
couple. The family are emigrantS
en- route for Washington, and
arrived in st. Paul from Chi
cago yesterday morning over the Bur-
lington. The name of the father is Lars
Oafson. He and his wife together
with their ill-favored offspring left
Christiana month since. and have a
nephew in the state of Washington. who
has purchased the land upon which they
will settle. The child is about nine
years old, according to the statement of
the parents. The head is twice the size
of that of an average adult and is de-
void of hair except a fringe which grows
low upon its forehead and encircles the
head, leaving the top entirely bald. The
face, though, is the browning horror.
1t is absolutely devoid of expression
of flabby, putty-like hue, and
there seems to be no ca
pabiity Oh the part of the
freak to control the facial muscles. The
lower jaw hangs loosely, and a cOntinu-
Gus stream of saliva escapes from the
corners of the mouth and marks the
route of the mohstrOsity. A few shaggy
hairs prOtrude from the upper lip, and
Others from the chm. The eyes are
cnlorless and meaningless. When this
enfant terrible is being led around br
its parents, each of whom grasps one of
It's enormous paws, the head seems too
heavy for the body. and hangs aim
lessly downward, swinging from side to
size with q regular motion seemingly
involuntary. There also seems to
be an inclination on the part of the
freak to take To the woods on all-fOurs.
In walking. the entire weight is thrown
upon the supports on either side. the
lower limbs dragging along behind.
The hands and feet are tremendously
out of proportion to the body, and the
latter are eneaSed in heavy shoes which
serve to accentuate their great size.
The object attracted universal attention
from those who were awaiting trains
at the depot, and it may be safely as
serted that those who saw the sight will
agree in declaring it the most
repulsive of their several recollec-
lions. The Larsons and their CHASTITY
offspring left yesterday afternoon for
the West. The parents seem to regard
the interest displayed in the freak
as natural. and paid no attention
to the crowds which thrOnged about
them during the early part of the day.
Ii is understood that museum managers
i'm various portions of the country have
made liberal offers for an engagement.
The child is, according to statement
by the fathe q hopeless imbecile and
has been so since birth.

A Hennepin Mans Blunder.

Deputy Marshal Daggett does not propose
90 allow himself to be arrested by mistake if
he knows 1t. Yesterday a very important
official came down from Hennepin county
with warrant for a man named James Dag
CERT. he l0uked in the directory or the blue
book and saw the deputy marShars name.
There is a slight similarity in the names and
the Minneapolis fly-bob thought he had his
xnan and proceeded to- arrest him. Daggett
was about ready to thrash the entire Henne-
pin county cOnstabulary for the blunder
when Marshal Campbell succeeded in con-
vincing the emissary Of his error.

Catarrh.

rs blood disease. Until the poison is
expelled from the system, there can
be no cure for this loathsome and
dangerous maiady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment is a thorough course
of Ayers Sarsaparilla-t the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better delay is dangerous.
Ell was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. l tried various remedies,
and was treated by number of physi-
clans, but received no benefit until I
began to take Ayers 7Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me of
this troublesome complaint and CONF
pletely restored my health. Jesse NJ.
Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. G.
"When Ayers Sarsaparilla was rec
commended to me for catarrh, was in
clined to doubt it's efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little BEN
eft, had no faith that anything would
cure me. 1 became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost the sense CT smell, and
my system was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged, when friend urged
me to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and re.
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
OF catarrh. After taking half doze--
bottles of this medicine, l am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood"

constituent that 81, 900 barrels had been pro-
duced-al in little district Of Pennsylvania.
In 1876 the yield was 1900 900 barrels. Then
the great Bradford field was opened and the
next year the yield was 100000 barrels.
Thence the increase was about 100000
year, and in 1882 America astonished the
world with u total yield Of 81 ,7s9, 1870 barrels.
What wild freaks did fortune play in those
years in many home. What must have
been the sudden elevations when Titusville
sprang at one bound from country hamlet
to city Of 10000 or more, when Oil City
sprang up in the wilderness and when thou
sands Of acres, worth scarcely three years
taxes, suddenly became of immense value.
What lavish display by the suddenly rich;
what gorgeous plumage and gaudy jewelry;
what "ho-turr," as we say in Paris Qllinois,
by ladies' who had been "fotch up" in n
cabin and hoed corn barefooted, but must
now "make the tower of Yurrup, COS pa had
struck OIL" And how fast the satirists and
caricaturists and slang makers followed the
movements of the newly rich. Our language
was adorned with many new and striking
phrases; but why enlarge when one man has
summarized the whole thing in his own per-
son. The mere name of Coal Oil Johnnie"
has volume in it. Ii means everything pos
sible in the line of reckless extravaganza, the
folly of a youth with suddenly acquired
wealth, and n wild passion To illustrate how
"the fool and his money are soon parted"
The variations OF price were wonderful.
"Pacific Mail" stock was dead level COM
pared to petroleum. The oil has actually
sold as low as ten cents barrel and as high
as SO, though the average hes been about
81. At first 1t was shipped by barges down
the Allegheny, and by team and in cans and
barrels by rail. Then came the once noted
and greatly dreaded tank cars, and soon after
the pipe lines which are now connected with
some 81 900 wells and receive from them any
where from q, 900 to 5000 barrels daily. In
addition they hold in storage tanks from 40
OOO, 900 to $4,000, 900 barrels, and this Is the
consideration which gives the speculator
pause. 1t Is not In the power of any combina-
ton vet formed to greatly "bull" an article
of which so much is ready any hour for the
market. There are about 5000 miles of pipe
lines and over l,6o0 large iron tanks, and
from Olean to New York city flow 1900 or
$4,000 barrels daily.

of the court house" Only thirty years ago
was the first oil well in America or the world
opened, and twice already has the business
declined till men said it was at an end, and
revived again only to be greater than ever
In these thirty years at least $3.50, 1000
have been invested in it, at least 40 600 wells
have been bored at a cost of $3.50 ,000, 600, and
the cash receipts for the products have slight
ly exceeded s500000,00 Verify great
American industry.
But it is far from being exclusively Amer
lean. Indeed the idea of using the oil Of the
rocks first came from Asia, and the greatest
oil basin in the world is thought to be in one
of Russia's late acquisitions And the great
est strike In oil annals was bya Russian COM
pany at Baku, where a well was opened last
year which spouted column 225 feet high
and yielded II 900 tons per day for sore
time In America, even at the lowest prices
yet known, it would make millionaires; in
Asia it bankrupted the projectors. The
rates for transportation did not justify their
shipping the crude petroleum, they had no
facilities for refining it and had to pay heavy
damages to adjacent land owners.
The phenomena attendant on the Baku
spouter exceeded all previously known in the
business The Russian official speaks Of the
preliminary birth throes Of the monster, in
which stones were hurled to a great distance.
Then came the roar Of the escaping gas,
which could be heard several miles and rem
dered the atmosphere almost insupportable,
and after that the fine sand and then the oil.
Sand and dust continued to be produced dur.
ing all the gushers vigorous period, and,
drifting into neighboring dwellings and gar,
dens, did much damage. The oil formed
great lakes sufficient to float large vessels but
for reasons given above the product was al
most total loss. For want Of pipe line to
the Black sea uncounted millions of gallons
sunk into the soil, but the owners at last man
aged to place an immense cap on the mouth
of the well, and its further gushing awaits
more favorable season.
As was stated above, $3.50, 0OO, 900 or more
have been invested in American wells pipe

schemes in incubation at Olympia and the
''fierce senatorial fight at Helena" 1t is just
possible they will begin to hear Of this last
even before this article is widely read, for
Montana not only has materials for lively
sensation but its political parties are almost
evenly balanced,
Helena is. from a romantic standpoint, the
most interesting Of all the new capitals, none
of the other three being located at what Is,
or is expected to be, the largest city. In
Washington and both Dakotas the people
have followed the wise American custom OF
having their legislation done at some other
than the principal city. Helena dates from
the close of the civil war, when Montana was
sought by many men of broken fortunes or
imp. red health and at least S30,0O00OO
worth of gold was taken out Of the gulch or
little valley in which Helena is situated. 1t
began as a mining camp. Every pound Of
the dirt on which the city is built has been
washed over, and some Of it twice-the second
time by the Chinese. Col. Broadwater, OF
the Hot Springs hotel, sent 100000 brick
to the Minneapolis exposition as specimen
of the new states products, and the Helena
papers relate as a pleasant item OF recent
news that Mrs. Meadow part proprietor of the
Sported Horse lode, recently drove into town
with "little brick" Of $40, 900 in gold, which
she deposited in bank.
Helena was wild and roaring camp, and
then lively town; unfortunately it next be-
came town Of many criminals, for the law
less got temporary control Of the government
and ''road agents" multiplied. One fine morn
ing the citizens rose to discover that the
"vigilantes" had got to work. On some doors
were marked Look out' on others Get
out" and by way of emphasis three notorious
thieves were hanging by the neck from con-
spicuous beam. The "vigilantes" hanged and
shot fifty-two men during their reign, and
the moral atmosphere was purified. Capital
came in even to an excess, good government
was established and In 1870-'75 1t began to be
remarked that Helena had as fine society as
any place in America. For many years past
the curious fact has been noted that the Hell
ena banks had more money on deposit in pro
portion to population than those Of any other
city in the country.
Helena also has an advantage over the
other capitals in the matter of sublime seen
cry, though Olympia has Puget Sound and
Bismarck and Pierre the raging Missouri.
