It is said that millet is one of the
best exterminators of Russian thistles
and in fact all kinds of weeds. Air and
sunshine ara as necessary for the life
of weeds as they are for cultivated
plants and if growing together if one
is thrifty enough to outgrow and over
shadow the other, if not disturbed, 1t
eventually takes possession of the
ground. So where millet is thickly
sown on the ground naturally weedy,
the shade will prove to much for the
weeds, and when the ground is plowed
for different crop it will not only be
enriched from the millet but will be
comparatively free from weeds. This
has been tried by a number of farmers
in this vicinity, and they all say it
proves q success.-Harrison Globe.

PLAYED WITH THE SKULLS.
How Relics were Gathered for Scientific
Societies From Alaska-Dead
Indians Decapitated.
Special to the Gazette.

SPRINGERvILLE, ARR. Nov. There is a
man living quietly in this city whose career
has been wonderful and yet who will prob
ably never give to the public the informa-
ton which he has obtained in his travels
and adventures, which are as thrilling as
any which has fallen to the lot of man. This
is f. w. Nelson, who for number OF years
has been connected with the burea of eth
nology of the government. He has Won
derful fund of stories, but refuses to write
ANYTHING for the press. He was stationed
in Alaska as signal observer for several
years, and while there made two trips with
dogs and sledgeS of over 1900 miles, conSum-
ing six months on each trip. Among other
things, he tells of a mission on which he
was sent by the bureau to two Islands of
Alaska where 1900 natives had starved to
death because they had been on big drunk
during the season when they usually went
hunting, and by the time they had recov-
cred from their drunk they found that the
season was over and they had no food.
Every soul on the two Islands died. Sew
eral scientific societies desired to obtain the
heads of some of these Indians, and Nelson
was sent to get them.
He went on the revenue cutter Bear, and
when they got to the islands and saw the
dead people living around the sailors almost
reyolted because they We're ordered to cut
off the heads. They got used to it, how
ever, and decapitated 300 dead Indians.
The sailors became so hardened that they
PLAYED ball with the heads, and one day
while they We're tossing one around the
deck the teeth dropped out and were scat
tered over the ship. The commander came
on deck at that time and placed the men in
irons for their fun. Nelson has killed
thirty bears during his life, thirteen of
them being the enormous polar bears of the
Arctic regions.

A WIFE'S DEVOTION.
Shared Felon's Existence-A Sad Case
Reported from Seattle of Desti-
tuition and Death.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. IA sad case Of
devotion and death has Just been brought
to light here by an investigation of the cor
oner. About four years ago there came to
this city man with his wife, who were
evidently extremely poor. The man was IN
delicate health, and the woman showed
such evidences of refinement that when she
applied to the ladies of the city for work
she was looked upon with suspicion, and
the respataTas that she got very little to do.
The hu1band gave his name as Robert Nor
rison~Snd said he was from Pennsylvania,
