MEXICAN CAVE DWELLERS.
lieutenant SchWatka has nine O1
them ON Exhibition.

Kansas City Dispatch to st. Louis Democrat.
Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka, of
Arctic exploration fame, arrived in
the city recently with nine Tora-
humari, natives of the Sierra Madre
mountains of Mexico, whom he has
just brought to this country. They
are the first of the cliff and cave
dwellers of old Mexico that have ev-
er been induced to leave their native
mountains. They are below the me-
dium size, thin almost to emaciation,
OF light cream color, and with long,
glossy black hair. When seen by
the Globe-Democrat correspondent
they wore goat-skin sandals on their
feet and were wrapped in coarse
blankets of goat hair made by them
selves. Lieutenant Schwatka said
that, though many persons had at
tempted to bring some of these rep
resentatives of primeval man to civil
ization, he was the first to succeed.
They are reserved, timid and very
gentle. They live in the nearly mac
cessible portions of the Sierra Ma
Dire mountains and dwell in the caves
and cliffs with which that region of
limestone formations abounds. They
reach their abodes by means of notch
sticks, and climb up with the rapidi-
ty and agility of monkeys. They
hate the Mexicans and are in mortal
terror of the white man, and run from
him as a wild fawn would do. They
plow the ground with stick in the
deep canyons and subsist upon the
flesh of the goat and wild deer. The
word Torahumari means runners
They are the feetest runners in the
world. While on the way to Chihu.
ahua they ran beside the stage and
not only beat the horses, but were
fresh and seemingly as good for an
other run of like distance, while the
horses were tagged.

PROFESSORS AND MINES.

The Black Hills (Dakota) Pioneer
submits the following advice to all
reputable mining men who place any
value on reputation:
Of all ancient and honorable titles,
this one Of professor has certainly
fallen into the hardest lines. Web
ster lines the defnition-First, one
who makes public profession, es-
pecially OF religion-and second, one
who profssses publicly to teach, es-
pecially an officer in college or
university, whose duty it is to in
struct or read lectures. Abroad it is
restricted to its proper use. In the
whole of England there are not more
than 30 men known as professor. !"
In the United States about 100000
from the college don up to the corn
doctor. From the village school
teacher, who boards around, gives in
struction through the whole range of
learning for S25 month, down to
professor of mathematics, who gets
$4,000 year for teaching transcen-
dental physics only, all wear proudly
the grand old title, but it is in mining
sections the professor fourishes to
perfection. Talk about colonels in
the South; why, in mining section,
professors are thicker than flies
around the bunghole of an empty
beer barrel in summer time. "Pro-
fessors" have been the curse of the
Black Hills. Every fraud ever float
ed here has been booked by "pro-
sessor." Their names would fill a
column, and in almost every case the
title was self conferred, scarcely one
having been entitled to it by any rule,
custom or precedent. professor
and fraud have almost become
synonymous terns-so much so that
you can safely bet that any one COM
ing into mining section dubbed pro.
fessor will bear watching.

faithfulness in the discharge of his
duties. Always courteous to every

made friends in political life that
will not at this time forsake him.
Opposed to him is James Penne-

held the Office OF Register of Deeds,
and leaves his position to give place
to Mr.. O'Donnel.
Mr. Benedict is TOO we'll known to
need any words Of commendation
from us. He is an old settler of the

life for active business pursuits,
while Mr. Pennefeather is young

H. A. COOPER, as predicted long
before his nomination, is making
friends everywhere and will show
the people of the State of Wisconsin
that the old First district has not
forgotten how to roll up a Repub-
lican majority. All feeling which
was supposed to have originated in
the contest over the nomination and
on which the opposition had figured
their strength has long since died
out, the last vestige of rivalry had
taken it's flight ere the Democrats
had made any nomination and the
Republicans of the First district
present an example of unity and
strength which stands out in bold
contrast to the dissensions of the
other party on the state issues.
Senator Cooper will represent the
First district in Congress after the
4th of next March.

Republican /!

The campaign is nearly over and
the issues are clearly before US.
The Republican party standing
squarely on a platform which COM
mends Itself to every intelligent,
loyal American citizen, III favor of
efficient and equitable school legis-
lation, with q record IN Congress of
more and better legislation secured
than can be shown by any Congress
for twenty years, faces the foes to
our public schools and the foes to
commercial prosperity with pride
and confidence. Victory is almost
certain for the State ticket and the
prospects for the county ticket are
bright and growing brighter BIT,
the Republican ticket will not be
elected unless Republicans support
it unanimously and heartily Every
Democratic official in this county
has been placed in office by Repub-
lican votes. The election Of sin
gle Democrat is possible only by the
aid of Republican votes Don t
trifie with your vote thinking that
the Republican candidate can be
elected anyway, and you will not
do any harm by voting for this or
that Democrat on the ticket The
Republican ticket aciU be elected if
you vote it. There is not q man on
the Republican County ticket who
will not fill ably and hoooraby to
himself and tie county the office for
which he is nominated. David B.
Pierce will make a Sheriff in which
the people may repose confidence
that they will be treated fairly and
honestly. The county jail would be
used to c01sf,ae criminals and the
administration Of justice will be
helped, not hindered with him in
the office. 1t is worth while to
think Of these things and vote &C
cordingly. Don't fail to vote for
Pierce and get your neighbors to do
the same. It isn't worth while to
put Kenosha in the list of Demo
cratic counties with her prestige
and influence. Kenosha County
ought to administer sound rebuke
to the party that would sell itself

Is It Ignorance, or Plain Lying :

When q man writes free trade
twaddle for newspaper he ought to
be careful and see that it consists"
with the other contents of the same
publication For instance, in the
Times (Chicago) recently, was a
paragraph on the editorial page as
follows:
"Cheap shoes have advanced in
price 20 cents pair, while the price
Of expensive French calfskin foot
gear remains unchanged The pro
tective tariff, as any one can see, is
plainly intended to benefit the poor.
An advertisement on the eighth
page Of the same paper from the re
liable house of Bullock Brothers has
the following
''Also the same reliable every
day shoes always kept by Bullock
eros. at $3, SIS and &c. We know
they will hold their own with any
thing in this market. No CHANGE
IN QUALITIES REDUCED PRICES
THROUGHOUT ALL DEPARTMENTS. "
The same advertisement was in
the Journal and III other papers,
The general announcements in all
the advertising columns of the press
are that lower prices prevail.
Another thing the writer of FREQ
trade twaddle should bear in mind
to tell tire truth The truth is that
the Mckinley tariff reduces the du-
ty on both leather and shoes, so
that if the tariff affects prices as
our free traders say, shoes should
be cheaper instead Of dearer,

First, he is better fitted by expert

the records of the office show more
criminals convicted at less expense
than his predecessors for a long

For German Lutherans to
Consider.

Some of the most respectable and
best known Lutherans in this cOun-
try express decided dissatisfaction
with the course pursued by the
Wisconsin Lutherans in respect to
the Bennett law. DR.. J. z. Butler,
Lutheran clergyman who holds
the highest position of honor Of a
clergyman of any denomination in
the United States, occupies the post
of Chaplain of the United States
Senate. and has in former years
held the same office in the y. 5.
House Of Representatives. 1t is not
saving too mucn that DR.. Butler is
one Of the most popular clergymen
in the city Of Washington, where
he has been pastor Of a church more
than thirty years. He declares
that lit is only by the use of the
English language the German youth
can attain their greatest usefulness
in this country; that it is folly for
the German Lutherans to take the
side they have in the educational
controversy in the west. Wiscon-
sin Lutherans would do we'll to lis
ten to the advice Of such eminent
men as DR.. Butler and others of
high standing in the Lutheran
ranks, instead Of being led by dem
agogue politicians who care nothing
for Lutherans except to secure their
votes for the Democratic party. If
Lutheran parents rightly consider
this matter, they will see their
children will have q poor show to
rise to positions Of usefulness with
out a thorough English education.
