A Young Man Who Has GoaS to London

At the Harley House, London, there
Is young man, a native OF the Congo
River Valley, who has journeyed TO
England for the purpose of an autopsy.
says the London Medical JournM
He believes himself to be In the In
cipieut stage of the mysterious ana
incurable disease known as the sleep

children TO place himself and his body,
after death. at the disposal OF the
medical men, in order that they may
so study his case as to ascertain the
cause, morbid changes and means OF
relief OF this comparatively unknown
malady. -
The young mans name is Mankombi.
and he is u member OF the missionary
church at tho CKnzR MautskR station.
where not fewer than sixty of his
fellow converts have been carried of
by the sleeping sickness. His sister
Is diving OF it; she becomes almost ma
niacal at the full OF the moon. His
brother by marriage died by 1t at

WASHINGTON, Dec. l0.-The United
States troops will be sustained by con.
gress and the war department IL they
avail themselves OF the opportunity and
wipe of the face OF the earth the reds
who have fled TO the bad lands for the
purpose OF deviltry OF all sorts. The
opinion here Is that Il Is time to teach
the Indians lesson which oven their
posterity cannot forget and which will

Bull Ii especially matter OF satisfaction
among statesmen.
Mr.. Doves. OF Massachusetts,, chair
man of the senate COMMITTEE on Indian
affairs, SAYS "Sitting Bull never seemed
20 have any of these qualities which In
the Indian have won either the admira-
tion or respect OF tho white people. All
his instincts and impulses like his whole
life were low. He had nothing In him
OF the courage of the real Indian. His
influence on the Indians has been bad
from the beginning and he has done all
In his power 20 cheek the progress OF the
race 10 which he belonged"
Senator Sanders, OF Montana, says:
Most OF the work sitting Bull did was

Fearing the Bottom Will Drop
Out They Are Market
ing Quite Freely.
Opinion of One Iowa Packer That the
Price Of Hogs VIII Very
Soon Rise.
An Improved Condition Of Affairs
Looked for at the Beginning
of the New Year.

DIES MONIES, Dec. 1o--The farmers
of Iowa are on the anxious seat regard
ing their hogs. They fear the bottom
will drop ont OF prices, and are making
great effort to place all their available
stock on the market. Malcolm Smith,
the head Of the Sinclair Packing com
pany, one of the leading establishments
OF its kind In the state, said In regard to
the crisis: I'm my opinion hogs will
rise in price soon. 1T has heen my ex-
perience In the past eight or ten years
that when corn goes up In price some OF
the farmers lose. their heads and com
meEce rushing in their hogs right away.
The price OF corn going up frightens
them, and they rush their stock in.
OF coarse, the large number OF
hogs thrown on the market keeps the
prices down, but as soon as there COM
mences TO be- scarcity prices 20 up.
The older and more experienced breeders
do not rush In their hogs at the first rise
In the price Of corn, but wait until hogs
begin 10 go up In price, and then there
being a scarcity they get q good price
for them. II may be several weeks be-
fore this adjustment Of prices may be-
brought about. We are paying to-day
$3.50 for hogs and Is cents for corn.
This is poor price for hogs, but good
price for corn, and ii is going 10 pay the
farmer to keep his hogs until later on
and sell his corn now"
Henry Sontter, said i'm reply TO the
reporters request for his views on the
situation:
The price OF hogs and corn do rot have
as much to do With each ether as people
suppose. There are many other things
which have more or less of an influence.
Ono prominent cause OF the farmers rush
ing in their hogs at present Is the large
amount Of sickness prevalent among hogs
This scares some Of the farmers, and they
are willing to let their hogs go at "A low
price. But have noticed that IL II not the
old experienced feeders who have been
scared by the high price of corn and the
sickness among swine. 1t IL the young. in
experienced men who are crowding the
market with hogs. I do not think hogs are
coming Ia much faster now than usual at
this time OF the year They have been coming
in quite freely, but IL Ii a usual thing for
thsni 90 come-in freely 1T this time OF year.
II may take two months 90 adjust the con-
dition of affairs, but IL Is only q question of
tSnses haransFs come here end AJAX nae what
! think of the prospects for tho future and
tell them they are as good at guessing as
/. and thnt they can sit down aud figure it
out just as well as l can. The market has

that II the water rises much higher
everything will be swept away. The
