Work has been resumed on the Stan.
ford university at Palo Alto, CAL, after
four months of idleness. The main rea-
sons for the delay were the excessively
wet weather and failure to secure build
ing material.

MANY A LIFE

LAS been saved by the prompt use of
~ Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
arrangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The pru-
dent sailing-master would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayers Pills
leave no ill effects they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated !; the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad.
"For eight years was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then began to take Ayers
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so tina.

! DEEP GORGE.

Not least among the natural wonders
of the coast is Mckenzie passage, little
to the westward of Kingcome inlet. 1t is
chasm about six miles in length, lead
ing to the base of an isolated and broken
peak, 5,665 feet high. The walls are very
close together, vertical and snow crowned.
The sun never shines in this awful gorge;
the vapor from its waters hangs dark and
bitter cold, unmoved by any wind, and
no living being enters its solitude. ]
find but two records of this place having
been visited by white men. Scarcely less
wonderful is an inlet tributary to Deans
canal.
Some of the tide sluices are very dan
gerous, and many lives have been lost in
them. A great puzzle they were to early
travellers, who found cataracts of sea
water pouring into many of the inlets
They are explained by the existence be-
hind them of large basins filled by the
flood tide, the outlets being too small for
its ready escape at the ebb. Some of
these salt water cataracts are as much
as twelve feet high. There is minia-
ture example at the gorge, near this city.
On the Yukon river the upper waters
are rendered quite clear by the deposit
of all their silt in chain of lakes, but
lower down stream called White river
enters from the south, SO charged with
glacier mud that the Yukon from thence
to the sea is too dirty for even the bot
tom of cupful to be distinguished.
Cravings rise readily to the fly above.
no fishing without nets is possible below.
Moreover, where the great river crosses
the Arctic circle the tributaries from the
tundra lands are like rivers of tea, so
deep is the stain of vegetable matter
from the moss swamps of the far south.

A SHATTERED TRADITION.

Now, the Sloane Indians of the upper
valley used to regard this tunnel in the
ice as leading to the "sweet by and
by" They were therefore very anx-
ious to avoid the place. But once the
tribe was encamped not far above the
glacier, and there was a very old man
and his wife with them who were too
mean to die because of the expese of CIV
ing a funeral feast. They were very rich
and of no use, and had large appetites,
and their relatives at last consented to
part with them. They were therefore
set adrift in a leaky canoe and consigned
to the current, and all the people, con-
scious of self sacrifice, stood on the bank
and watched the canoe vanish into the
tunnel, and felt good. Now, the old
people were very frightened and squealed
a good deal, but when the blue shadows
of the ice closed over them they thought
they were dead Indians, and behaved
accordingly. Presently the old lady
thought it was getting light, and became
curious and looked about her. Then she
kicked the old man and asked if he
didn't wish they were at the funeral feast.
He looked up and found the canoe out in
the open again, the glacier behind them,
and the world pretty much as usual.
They got ashore, cut paddles and poles,
and prepared to go home again. The old
man began to be hungry for the grease
boxes; the old lady set her heart on
grease and berries, and they both deter
mined to get home for the banquet, since
they had assisted at the funeral. Well,
by dint of making the old lady work,
while lie steered and gave good advice,
they succeeded in making their way up
through the tunnel and home, and were
in ample time for the feast. In fact they
lived happily every afterward. But how
shall we condole with the relatives, whose
sweetest and most pious traditions had
been shattered about the sweet by
and by?

INCREASED VALUATION.

There is feature in the tax sales this
year which evidently means something
and is regarded in a favorable light by
the holders of tax titles. Heretofore out
lying property was well sold for the taxes,
out this year that bid in nowhere. The
spectators do not like the way things are
going and are finding out that others
know what property is worth. They have
always supposed simply because it has al
ways been done that the property must be
sold for the taxes, but the law reads that
the property or any part thereof must be
sold. Quarter sections are paying the
taxes easily by the sale of ten acres, and
the competition is increasing so that five
acres will likely redeem quarter section
very shortly.
There are several reasons for this, the
first being increased value of tax title,
but the main reason being the small num-
Der of tax sales, which is below any
county in this state, or any state for that
matter

WESTERN SCHOOL OF ELOCUTION AND
ORATORY.

Among the new institutions in this city
which are attracting attention is the
Western School of Elocution and Oratory,
which has just been established by George
w. Hoss, A. NJ, LII. ID. This institution
was successfully inaugurated yesterday
forenoon with a formal public opening,
which was attended by a goodly number
of ladies and gentlemen, representing the
various educational interests of the city.
Attorney Charles r. Coffin made the
formal opening or introductory address,
introducing DIR. Hoss to the people in a
glowing eulogy of the achievements of the
doctor as an educator Being formerly a
resident of Indiana, Prof Hoss' former
state, Mr.. Coffin was prepared to speak
from a personal knowledge, for many
years of the professors educational record
in the Hoosier state, as well as his work
in this in connection with the state
normal school at Emporia and Baker
university ut Baldwin City.
After the Introductory address, DIR. Hoss
read a suitable scripture lesson, which was
followed by very eloquent and appropri-
ate prayer by Rev. l. Z. Van Cleave the
new pastor of the Central Christian
church.
Rev. J. c. Hewett and Hon. w. f, Stan
ley made brief, but appropriate, addresses
speaking of the character and object of this
new school, and of the nature and benefits
of true elocution and oratory, bidding DR..
Hoss God-speed and abundant success in
his new and laudable enterprise in this
city.
DR.. Hoss received his guests in the most
cordial and agreeable manner, and eX-
planned to them the nature of his proposed
work, giving brief history of the develop
ment of institutions of this kind in this
country, and the advancement in eloeu-
tionary and oratoricsl training, and ex-
tended to all cordial invitation to visit
his school at any time.
Quite n large class-mostly of young
men-was enrolled for the opening of this
school, which opens under very favorable
auspices, and with omens Of complete sue
cess.

Like It's NamesREe.

Middlesborough, England, is we'll
known as the great center of the iron
trade city of 90, 600 inhabitants, with
100 blast furnaces, and an annual out
put of nearly 2,o0O, 900 tons Of pig-iron.
But there has recently been founded an
English Middlesborough in America,
which bids fair, if its present rate Of de-
velopment continues, to represent in
time as much wealth in gold and iron as
the older city Of which it is the name
sake. Two years ago it had no existence
save In the minds of it's founders: today
1t is city Of several thousand inhsb-
itants, aspiring to become the principal
seat of the iron and steel manufacture Of
the United States.

Secretary Stewards Opinion.

I heard story of William H. Seward
the other day which think is new one.
/ am not certain, but am impressed
with a conviction that it comes from
Miss Olive Risley Seward, an adopted
daughter of the late Secretary Seward,
whose Bohemian literary salon is one Of
the most charming places to which one
can have the entree at the national cap
ital. 1t was at the time when there was
great agitation of the removal Of the cap
ital, and all Washington was alarmed.
One of the scared ones said to Secretary
Seward, Mr.. Seward, do You think the
capital will be removed from Washing

ply. But where-to Chicagoy" mo"

Jes.e James, NIanhood.

Jesse James, the Missouri bandit,
possessed many manly qualities" feel
ingly exclaimed Uncle Dick Henderson
at the Brunswick hotel Il knew him
wei. He was turned into a Nemesis
after the Pinkertons threw that bomb
through the window of the Samuels resi-
dence and blew off the arm Of Jesse's
mother. Ever after that occurrence
both Frank and Jesse declared war to
the knife on the Pinkerton men. The
killing Of Jesse James by Bob Ford was
the cowardly act of a treacherous, un-
grateful fiend. Bob wasn't eating reg
ulsr' when Jesse took him to his home,
gave him shelter and food and treated
him well. One day, when Jesse was
busting off picture and had his back
turned, Bob shot him from behind. OF
course you knoEE that but very few peo-
pie ever learned what picture Jesse was
busting off when he got his death wound.
1t was the large picture Of his dear old,
white haired mother, whom he loved
dearly.
I'm one robbery at Blue Cut, when
the James gang went through train,
Jesse led the way and relieved the pas
sengers of their valuables. He came to
one woman in black, who was sobbing
bitterly. Jesse stopped and inquired the
cause Of her sorrow AS she handed
him $40 in greenbacks she cried out con-
vulsively: It's all / have in the world.
My husbands corpse is in the baggage
car Tears came to the eye of the train
robber. Going into his pocket he re-
turned the $40 and added two crisp 500
bills to it, which he forced the widow to
accept He never would rob a cripple,
or an old gray haired woman, either.
He once took an overcoat of his own
back in the streets of Liberty, Mo, and
gave it to poor, shivering old man that
had been turned out into the cold by an
