stamps That VIII Not Stick.

Correspondents complain that the two
cent red stamp will not stick on their let
tars long enough TO have them delivered
through the mail. Letters are received
duly post marked, showing that the stamp
had been affixed, but quite devoid of any
pay stamp on reaching their destination
Other stamps are heard from that come off
in the hand while they are being posted.
The letter goes off in the box, the stamp
futters of in the hand. You can wrap up,
says one correspondent, ten cent special
stamp in q bit Of psrafine paper and it
will keep its sickness, for the mucilage
is good.
But If you wrap up your two cent red
stamp in a similar paper, to keep them all
from sticking together, the result is bad;
sickness goes out Of them, and the
chances are that they will fall of your let
ter before it reaches Mr.. Fields stamping
machines. Yet the paraffine paper is sup
posed to act, by its oiIiness, precisely az
the less elegant plan Of rubbing the stamps
as you buy them on the hair OF your head
Is there any remedy for stickless stamps'
Certainly there is. The mucilage bottle, IL
you have any doubts. You had better re-
surface them-in this individual way-than
to have the trouble of tearing them apart
when all glued together. - Philadelphia

THE MAD DOG SCARE.

A mad dog that was the property of Mr.,
Miller, of Lawrence avenue, has created a
scare that TO a certain extent Is well found
ed He bit several parties and even snap
ped at his owner and then ran away no
one knows where. The supposition is that
he ran ont east and died, but this Is not
known for a fact On his way he bit sew
eral dogs, most of which have been killed
and it would only be prudent If all the
others were killed, as hydrophobia may
develop at any time.
\ full list of the dogs bitten was handed
in but as many of their owners claim it Is
not true and no evidences could be found
in several cases, the probabilities are that
the list Is incorrect.
The mere fact of his swapping at another
dog means nothing, as the poison must get
into the blood 1t IS fair to assume that
the owner of every dog. in defense of him
self and family, would kill it if there was
the least possible danger.
\ nephew of Mr.. Jake CoopeU's was bit
ten. and went TO Strong City. where mad
stone was applied with perfect success.
The stone adhered for four hours until all
the poison was completely extracted. The
efficacy OF the mad stone Is now generally
admitted, and has doubtless saved many
lives. Several parties who were not bitten
to bring the blood, have. as prudent step,
applied the mad stone in order 10 free their
minds from all suspicion.

ANOTHER NEW DEPOT.

The improvements going on in the city
have ceased to be as much an object of In
terest as formerly because they may be
noticed on every hand. But as contem-
plated improvements begin to take a
definite shape it is incumbent on the
papers to notice them and say thanks
especially when the cost falls on some rich
corporation. Because the people have be-
come accustomed to progress its march Is
no less gratifying to them and all addi-
tons to the hundreds of elegant structures
are duly appreciated.
The plans for the new Santa Fe
freight depot have been decided
upon although they have not been
sent to this city yet. At its
completion a change of the headquarters
of one of the departments of the road is
contemplated. 1t is understood the new
depot is to be two hundred and fifty feet
long and built just south of the new pas
senger depot. 1t is known for a certainty
that its style of architecture and finish
will be in keeping with the improvements
that have already been made by the same
company As yet the contract has not
been let but very few days will dispose Of
this matter and the work of construction
will be commenced at an early date. 1t is
not known yet just what disposition will
be made of the present depot, but the ma
terial can be used to advantage at other

THE LAST OF EARTH.

The funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. H. A. Myre were conducted at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. G..
Craig at 3 o'clock this afternoon, August
20, by the pastor of the Central Christian
church. Mrs. Myre was wife and mother
patient in her affliction which has been
very severe for the last few months. Al
though her sufferings were terrible she
bore them peacefully and patiently, medi-
cal aid was summoned at once but the
effort to prolong life was unavailing and
at last death came and closed her eyes for
ever. She leaves kind husband and a
dear little babe, a father, mother, sister
and three brothers whose hearts today are
bowed down beneath a weight of sorrow.
Let them be conseled by remembering that
this world with t.-l of its bright futures as
dark and lonely hours is not our home.
A large number of friends followed the
remains to its last resting place and there
they laid away in the grave all that re-
manned of her among the flowers of the
Highland cemetry to await the resurrec-
ton of the just. We truly extend our
sympathy to the bereaved family in this
dark hour and may we all live as to meet
our loved ones in that home far beyond the
comprehension of the human mind, there to
dwell forever and forever. NJ. j. d.

THE LEWIS DAM.

The Lewis dam and Chisholm creek con-
tInue to thrust themselves upon the notice
Of the public. A special committee ap-
pointed by the council has been earnestly
endeavOring TO adjust the causes of differ
ence between the city and Colonel Lewis
and its efforts have thus far been rewarded
by proposition. IL will be remembered
that Colonel Lewis wanted 1884, 600 for his
equity ia the dam, and this demand has
been modified by his proposition as fol-
lows: He will take $4,000 in cash. pro-
viding the city will secure the right of
way for switch from the railroad tracks
to the mills, on Hydraulic avenue. The
city is to grade the right of way and make
1t ready for the laying of the track In
other words, he allows the city $4,000 for
this work
The committee will in all probability re-
port on this proposition to the council on
Monday night.

A MINED AFFAIR.

The poisoning case on North Main street
dld not pan out so well yesterday None
of the parties wanted to appear and they
admitted that the diagnosis made by the
police at first was correct The police pro
nOunced ii genuine case of alcoholic poison
ing and their experience in this matter
makes their opinion worth something. 1t
seems that the lay out was so terribly
drunk that they came mighty near dying.
The young man who was arrested on sus-
piciOn was of course. released but as is
usually done in such cases, he gave an as
sumed name and thereby hangs a tale
Since he was found entirely innocent of the
charge no effort was made to find out his
real name. He claimed however to hail
from Guthrie and by accident gave name
similar to that of Guthrie gentleman who
was to have been in the city that day but
did not arrive until yesterday, from New
ton. The young man in question had in
tended to go to Guthrie and that is what
put the idea into his head The foregoing
statement is made in behalf of the Guthrie
gentleman, who, naturally, does not want
any such rumor to reach his friends. The
name given was not the same as his but is
so near it that it might be mistaken by
people who did not know him very well.

church standpoint, especially the avoirdu-

were probably a thousand guests and the
evening was quite a treat to ali The
music was furnished by Brandon's orches-
ira and an interesting program was rem
dered Each number came in for fair
share of praise. The tables were loaded
with choice refreshments and were well
patronized But the avoirdupois scheme
was the feature OF the evening. Il was
originally intended TO use the ladies ages
instead of their weights but such plan al
though interesting would not result in any
profit TO the church. a pair OF scales sat

A siwash Indians Canoe.

"While visiting one Of the small towns
along Puget sound" said J. NJ. Mallett,
of Helena, Il was greatly interested in
the way the Siwash Indians build their
canoes. 1t is really wonderful how these
dirty aborigines can, with the crUdest
means and with few days work, con-
vert an unwieldy log into a trim and
pretty canoe. One Monday morning I
saw buck building fire at the base Of
a canoe that he intended to use upon the
following Saturday. He kept the fire
burning merrily al that day and far
into the night, when wind came up
and completed the downfall of the mon
arch of the forest
The next day the buck arose betimes,
and borrowing a cross cut saw from q
logger who was absent cut the trunk Of
the tree in twain at point some fifteen
feet from where it had broken of, and
then with a dull Ratchet he hacked
away until the log had assumed the
shape of the desired canoe. In this work
he was helped by his squaw. The old
fellow then built fire on the upper side
of the log, guiding che course of the fire
with daubs Of clay, and in due course Of
time the interior of the canoe had been
burned out. Half days work with the
Ratchet rendered the interior smooth
and shapely. The canoe was now, l
thought, complete, though it appeared
to be dangerously narrow of beam. This
the Indian soon remedied.
He filed the shell two-thirds full Of
water, and into the fluid he dropped half
a dozen STONES that had been heating in
the fire for nearly day. The water at
once attained boiling point and SO
coftened the wood that the buck and tho
squsw were enabled to draw out the
sides and thus supply the necessary
breadth to the beam. Thwarts and stats
were then placed in the canoe ana the
water and stones thrown out. When
the steamed wood began to cool and
contract the thwarts held it back and
the sides held the thwarts, and there the
canoe was, complete, without nail,
joint or crevice, for it was made of one
piece of wood. The Siwash did not COM
plete it as soon az he had promised, but
it only took him eight days. Tacoma
