SNAP SHOTS IN SEASON.
The most fascinating and restful sum-
mer sport is shooting the rapids.

IT is perfectly natural for city folk to
sigh for the quiet of the country. But you
of the busy street, the jinglejangle, rumble
tumble, slap-bang noises of the town who
sought the rural rest, did you find 1t? Per
haps 1t came after while-after the
cricket's chirp, the grasshopper's snap, the
locust's whirr, the frogs croak, the goose's
hiss, the cocks crow, the hens cackle, the
ducks quack, the sleeps pleat, the cows
below, the calves call, the pigs squeal, the
swallows chatter and the dogs bark grew
as familiar to your ears as the whirr of the
wheels, the roar of the notes.-the monot-
onous, discordant songs of the city noise
makers by day and by night. But
quiet was out of the question until
then, and rest came not where the mosquito
merrily sang while seeking sustenance.
Then the dream of the countryside became
a horrible nightmare in which the monsters
of unrest that drive you forth from the city
danced to diabolio rural measure. Each
chirp and croak sent q chill, each barnyard
disturbance a shiver through your Sleep
resisting self on the first night in the field
sustained section. But your ears gradually
familiarized themselves with the new
noises, which. like the city clangors, soothed
instead of shocked your touchy nerves. Out
of Che din you caught snatches OF song-real-
lied that natures orchestra was not so
badly out Of time and tune as you first
imagined. Then you realized that humanity
is so constituted rs to accommodate itself to
circumstances and slip into new surround
ings without effort. The transition came
unawares. And then you thought
better of the world after the sounds that
Jared became the songs that jingled, didn't
you? Then, too, you were convinced that,
had you plugged your ears to the discord,
the delights which came when they ceased
to annoy would have been lost. Hence you
made up your mind there and then to take
life as you find it, knowing we'll that to bat
tie against the ineyitable meant ceaseless
warfare, and to meet it without murmur
meant victory-the triumph Of patience over
perversity.

WANTS THE TOGA.
DE Y0ung's Anxiety to Succeed
Senator Hearst.

NJ. NJ. Estee was seen yesterday relative
to an editorial inspired by N. ii. de Young
aud printed in the latter's personal organ.
In 1t charge was made that Mr.. Estee was
anxious TO succeed Senator Hearst, and as a
proof of the railroads friendship it was al
legged that Mr.. Estee travelled in Senator
Stanford's private car.
Said Mr.. Estee: Il have fair degree of
patience, but L must confess that l am
weary of these filthy attacks AT present,
however. l would prefer not to discuss the
m after, for Senator Hearst is my personal
friend, and | hope to see him live to COM
plete his term of Office. AS to riding in Sem
ator Stanford's private car. that is absolutely
false, and it is well known that when went
East paid my fare and rode In Pullman
sleeper, just as other passengers did.
Il have been appointed Chairman of the
Worlds Fair Committee, drafted both bills
now pending, and paid for the printing out
OF my own pocket When l went to Sacra-
Inento a few days ago it was to address the
judiciary Committee of the Senate in Tela-
ton thereto, and for no other purpose This
is weli-kn0wn fact"
The editorial referred 10 and Mr. Estee's
denial grow out of the fact that Mr.. de
Young took it upon himself, as is matter
of common notoriety, To arrange interviews
with w. w. Stow and G. +. Croker in
order to enlist their aid in furtherng his
ambition to succeed Senator Hearst in the
event of the latter's demise. That the in
teryiew did take place is absolutely true,
and that the result was not satisfactory to
Mr.. de Young is equally well-established

General Miles said: "That is to be deter

and other chiefs are killed, and | have most
of the others, the Indians are left without
leaders, and there Is no danger of further
outbreak on the reservations. These men I
brought to Chicago are crowd of outlaws.

sent to Fort Sully. All the Indians now
under control of military authority are back
on their reservations or on their way there
/ could not tell what movement might be
attempted in the spring and have troops
now at Fort Sheridan as precaution. The
chiefs who went through to Washington are
not dangerous Indians. Those who remained
neutral were not disarmed for the reason
that 1t would have been an injustice to have
treated them as hostile5. With the hostile
tribes there are only few guns left, enough
for their personal protection. / anticipate
no further trouble, and if there is another
war with the Indians it will be on an entirely
different matter"
General Miles has detailed the following
officers TO command each company of In-
dian scouts to he enlisted at Pine Ridge

K0CHEN TREATMENT.
How the Lymph Patients Are
Being Watched.
Anthony Quinn Receives an Injection of Four
Milligrams-His Pulse and Re-

The few members of the medical profess
sion and the general public who thought the
bulletins FROM the bedsides OF the Lymph
patients at the City and County Hospital
would be constant variation Of the most
alarming symptoms of fever and chills,
agony and stupor, such as the sensational
kilograms from the Old World indicated,
have been greatly SURPRISED by the lack of
any great change in the patients condition.
With two eXceptiUns-Satto. the japanese,
and Anthony Quinn-the symptoms lave
varied so little as TO cause doubt in certain
quarters as to the effect of the lymph on
people of different constitutions.
Anthony Quinn is the only patient whose
pulse, temperature and res iration have de-
creased and increased in an abnormal man
ner, and he is the only one whose bulletin,
particular notice.
w. Kerr injected four miIligrams of
lection Quinn has had. The first was on
Monday. when one miliigram was in

ward he complained of pains in the chest.
The next day two milligrams were put I'M
der the skin, but other than a noticeable
variation OF the pulse and temperature
there were no symptoms" of note. Then
yesterday he was given a four-milligram

Yesterdays bulletin of Anthony Quinn

The increase of the pulse, commencing at
II o'clock and continuing until O'clock,
when 1t reached the speed of liz beats a
minute, was the cause of considerable COM
ment, and the increase of respiration each
minute was also remarked. Whether that
increase OF respiration was symptom Of
change in the lungs and the attendant in
crease OF pulse only sympathetic, or whether
the increase in both was the result of nery-
Gus excitement, were the questions the bull
letins prompted. Quinn says he notices no
particular change, though he complained of
a pressure III the chest.
In Frederickson, who is under treatment
for tnbercular degeneration of the curyical
glands, the physicians have noticed, after
two injections. quite a change. The swell
