the South Pacific Islands she might
have been equally laughed at for order
ing half dozen oysters to say q

ZONES of the California coast
Pliny mentions that. according to
the historians of AIexander's expedition
oysters a foot in diameter were found
Tennent was unexpectedly enabled to
corrOborate the correctness of this state
ment, for at Kottier, near TrinOOmAlee,
enormous specimens of edible oysters
were brought to the rest house, One
measured more than eleven inches in
length by half as many in width.
But this extraordinary measurement
is beaten by the oysters of Port Lincoln
in South Australia. which are the lArg-
est edible ones in the world. They are
as large as a dinner-plate, and of much
the same shape. They are sometimes
more than foot across the shell, and
the oyster fits his habitation so well
that he does not leave much margin
1t is q new sensation when q friend

A Long WAX.

Issac Beels, formerly of South Da-
kota, has arrived IN Laramie direct
from Alaska He told reporter that
he left the mining region away to the
north of Sitka last October, travelling
some l, 600 miles, he says, on horseback
and on foot. This was q long and won
derfully hazardous journey alone and
occupied long time. His horse gave
out during the trip and he was obliged
to continue on foot and take refuge
among the Indians. He induced some
of the natives to pilot him to the nearest
white settlement. Reaching this point
he was still 160 miles north of Sitka,
but worked his way into Sitka alone.
From Sitka he came down to Vancou-
yer, British Columbia; from thence to
the United States, continuing his jour
ney on foot, covering most of the dis
tAnce to Laramie that way. He ex-
poets to remain in this city for some
time, if not permanently.
Many times during the long trip Beels
was harassed by wild animals, the
mountain wolves and bear being pArtic-
ularly bold. The mountain bison, the
moose and other animals were quite
plentiful. He is enthusiastic over the
mining resources of Alaska His 1, 800
mile journey was over the great noun
tain ranges and through the desolate
valleys of that great region. The In
dams treated him very kindly. He
could not exchange a word with them,
but they realized that he was in dis
tress and aided him.-Ldranie Boom

CHICAGO, July 2O-At conference of the

tive of the Switchmen's association stated
the position of the switchmsn, a follows:
"Ks have branded MeNerney as a scab, and
he will not be allowed TO work in any yard
in Chicago. We have taken our position

claim the right to drive from the switching
service any member who does not pay his
dues to our organization. We claim the
right to cay who shall be employed as yard
masters in the different yards in Chicago.
We claim that members of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Irainmen have no right IN any

coming when a man can not work In any

ton. The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men is no organization at all The Switch

alliance Crop Estimates.

TOPEKA, July 18.-Frank McGrath, state
president of the farmers alliance, says that
he has reliable reports from ali parts Of the
state that the reports on the wheat crop sent
out by Secretary Mohler are too high. He
estimates the crop at not more than 10000,
coo bushels, and says that 1t may fall as low
as 35, 100000.
The counties where the crop is usually the
best are the poorest this year. Saline, Dick
inson, MCPHERSON, Franklin, Lyon and
the best wheat counties of the state. This
year they fell far below many of the Others
From his reports and from what he has
seen travelling about, he believes that the
corn crop this year is the best in the north
etn tier of Counties
The western half of the state will raise the
best crop of corn this year in their history
but with the exception of few of the north
srn equities and occasional small districts;
the eastern half of the state will not raise
above half a crop,

AMONG THE KAFFIRS.
Some Strange Sights Among a savas
People

Some Strange Sights Among = Savage
People
In returning from KlipdAm to Pre-
torin In South Africa l saw q great many
strange sights among Kaffir tribes in this
section of the country. In passing along
the roads you will find at intervals a
savage head gazing at you with eyes of
death An inquiry developed the facts
that this is the mode of burying their
dead, writes q correspondent Of the At
ldatd Constitution. Their costume Is
to place the body in a sitting posture,
covering all but the head with earth,
and providing the corpse with a pan of
mealie meal (corn meaD and vessel of
water, so that the spirit will rest in
peace and not haunt the survivors.
These burial places are near q public
road, so that when the resurrection
comes they will be ready to lump ND
Immediately and follow the angels along
the road without the danger of getting
left behind or lost. The Kaffirs believe
in future state of existence, not only
for the soul, but also for the body.
This belief Is strangely similar to that
of Christian traditions. How it got into
the Kafir religion is not known. but it
Is one of their most ancient and strong
est traditions. When a head of q family
dies his hut with all his personal be-
longings Is abandoned, the idea pre-
vailing that the spirit of the dead
haunts his former abode. In case of q
sudden death in the tribe it is often at
tributed to the influence of q witch, and
on application Of the relatives, which is
always made, an investigation is made
to discover the one who has caused the
= = . -
or evil doctor, is the presiding genius.
His modus operandi Is to assemble all
the suspected parties around q fiat vessel
of water. into which they look, one ut 3
time, their features being fully reflected
IN the water. When the guilty ones
turn comes ripple is seen to pass over
the water. OF course, this ripple is
produced by trick of the luna aman-
ri, and Is generally enacted when one
whom he has q grudge against looks
into the water. The unfortunate indi-
vidual is then handed over to the tender
mercies of the Infatuated relatives. who
make short work of putting him where
he can do no more harm. The spirit of
the departed, knowing that his death
has been avenged. then rests in peace.
The Kaffrs, without exception, use
tobacco, which grows here profusely,
and of avery fine quality. Men, women
and children use snuff, which they make
from tobacco mixed with ashes. They
carry their snuff boxes, long cylinder
shaped tube, In a slit made in the lobe
of the ear. Their pipes are curious af-
fairs. A cows horn is secured, into
which they insert diagonally q stem, and
on this they affix bowl for the tobacco.
The horn is then filed with water and
smoke, and water drawn into the mouth.
The former is inhaled or elected through
the nose and the water spat out This
performance is accompanied with much
coughing and chattering and singing
the praises of their chief, nation, god
and employer; the latter does not al
ways come in for unmixed praises.

VnIted AetIon at the PoIIs.

sARAoaA, N: Y, June 1s.-At the session
Of the national temperance convention here
two reports were presented from the COM
mittee on resolutions, one by its chaifmanI
ex- Governor Goodale, and the other (minOri-
ty report) by Rev. Dickey. The first was
silent on the question of partisan action, and
the second enjoined and recommended it in
effect by the formation of town, county,
state and national leagues, independent of
party action in unison by all organizations
represented In this convention.
Pending discussion on a motion to adopt
the minority report, A. NJ. Powell of New
York offered d substitutes which was accept
cd and adopted by two-thirds vote in lieu of
both reports. It resolves. that

Bank EaIIure-

KANSAS CITY, July 18.-The First National
bank of Wyandotte, or Kansas City, Kan,
has suspended business aid is in the hands
of the bank examiner. I. d. Wilson, presi-
dent of the bank, is very reticent concerning
the cause of the failure and the condition of
the bank. He does say, however, that the as
sets are S2OO,OOO and the Liabilities $IOO,0Ol
Much ofthe assets, which where supposed to
be gilt-edged, are of such nature, he says,
as to prevent rapid realization upon them.
Last fall the bank became involved in the
failure of the Hustled Investment company
and was IN a very shaky condition. The.in-
stitution at that time consolidated with the
Exchange National bank, and it was believed
had tided over its difficulties. 1t is generally
believed the liabilities are considerably over
S1OO, 200, lnasmuch as the city of Kansas City,
Kansas, had on deposit about $4,000. The
bank is capitalized at 100000.
