A Hermit in q Hole.

Nelson Purdum, of Jefferson county,
Ind, disappeared from his usual haunts
couple of months ago after having
squandered a big pension allowance. No
trace of him could be found until few
months ago, when hunters came across
him on the bank of river near Madi-
son. Smoke was issuing from the
ground, and an investigation led to their
finding a room underground, in which
Purdum was living. A rude cot, stove
and quantity of provisions were found,
but the man, whose long gray beard and
locks gave him a wild appearance, de-
clined to come out. The rise in the
river is likely to food the hermits place
of abode, but no amount of persuasion
will make him desert his strange home.

Right or Wrong.

long tried properties of the Bitters appeal.
Reason should be guided by experience in the
matter of medication. 1.-THE best guide to our

Anniversarv of postane stam ps.

The postage stamp will celebrate its
ifty-second anniversary on May 6. Its
invention is due to printer, James
Chalmers, of Dundee, Scotland, who died
in 1853 England, fifty-two years ago,
introduced the new system of preparing
letter postage, and, according to a de-
cree of Dec. 81, 1889, issued the first
stamps which were to be put before the
public on May of the following year.
A year later they were introduced i'll
the United States and Switzerland, and
within three years had become common
in Bavaria, Belgium and France. One
of the most important and valuable col
lections of postage stamps and other pos
tai devices in the world is in the German
imperial postoffice museum at Berlin

FRISCO WANTS ANOTHER LINE.

Evidently the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe road can not extend its
line to San Francisco any too soon to
please the people of that city. Cali
fornla shippers and business men arc
crying out against the monopoly of
the Southern Pacific and urging 9TH
er companies to come in and give
them the facilities they desire in or
der to retain their prestige as the
business center of the Pacific coast.
A resident of San Francisco in a pri-
vate letter writes: "1t is true that
business is very dull on the Pacific
coast. There is a general complaint,
and wholesale people are mostly con-
cerned. There is only one railroad
running in here, the Southern Pacific,
and it is hard on its patrons. Port
land is gradually getting the whole
sale trade, because she has three
railroads. San Francisco has gone
back a good deal in the past few
years, and the outlook is anything
but encouraging. 1t is downright
shame that such conditions exist, for
California is wonderful producing
state"
Recently there have been a num-
Der of rumors concerning the designs
of other roads to secure a suitable
route to San Francisco, but none of
them have been traced to an official
foundation. Some credence is given,
however, to the revised report that
the Atchison is making preparations
to extend its line to San Francisco
Globe Democrat.

DEMoCRArIC POLICY.

WAsnINGToN, Jan. 29.-The DEM
ocratic policy with reference to the
tariff in this house has been decided.
The Mckinley law will be attacked
by separate bills aimed at a few
points Of the measures met by gen
eral tariff revision bill. This conclu-
sion was reached this morning by
the Democratic members of the ways
and means committee after a confer
ence lasting several hours. When a
vote was taken it resulted seven to
three in favor of separate bills.
The three dissenting members of the
committee gave their adhesion to the
policy of the majority of their asso-
ciates on the committee and will act
with them, thus making the Demo
cratic part of the ways and means
committee unit on the policy which
it was decided to adopt. Nothing
was said about which particular fea-
ture of the present law should be
first attacked, and this will be left to
future determination.

vantage they manage to ship ore to

quality of the mineral may be sur
missed from the fact that it has to be

tance of l65 miles, and then hauled
to this city from Tintic. Deep Greek,
although watercourse in name, fur
nishes no moisture, and drinking
water has to be conveyed to the
