Surveyors have been locating a route
from Tacoma through the Puyallup reser-

for an electric railway. This line is the
one projected last summer to run through

from this city, but nothing is being
done towards construction at present.

A Literary Curfositx.

The whole world seems to be engaged in the search for objects of interest which will add to the attractions of the coming great fair. An immense wood en box, bound in iron, was recently found at Helsinfors, in Finland, by workmen engaged in exc&vating in the cellar of an old house. Upon opening the box the men found that it contained a large parchment and a quantity o4 pieces of iron of odd shapes. Being un- able to make out the contents of the parchment, they carried it to Mir. Rizeff, the nearest magistrate, who found that it was written by Father Suger, one time minister to Louis the Seventh of France. It was an elabor. ately written treatise upon the use oi steam as a motive power, and further examination revealed that the bits o1 iron were numbered parts of rudi- mental but complete steam engine. It is proposed to fit the parts together and to exhibit this pioneer steam engine at the exposition.

There are some patent medicines that are more marvellous than a dozen doc tors prescriptions, but they're not those that profess to cure everything.
 Everybody, now and then, feels 'trun down." played out" They've the will but no power to generate vitality. They're not sick enough to call doctor, but just too sick to be well. That's where the right kind of a patent medi- cine comes in, and does for dollar what the doctor wouldn't do for less than five or ten. We put in our claim for Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery.
 We claim it to be an unequaled remedy to purify the blood and invigor- ate the liver. We claim it to be lasting in it's effects, creating an appetite, puri. flying the blood and preventing bilious, typhoid and malaria levers, if taken in time. The time to take it is when you first feel the signs of weariness and weakness. The time to take it, on gen. eral principles, is now.

IT would seem to be about time for the law to step in and regulate the William Tell business on the stage, in view of the shooting of the man who held the apple on his head for Oklahoma Frank to pick off with a rife. In the tragedy in real life, which took place in a provincial theatre in Pennsylvania the other night, it appears that Oklahoma Frank stood with his back turned toward his human target, and took aim with the aid of a mirror placed before him. He had succeeded in splitting the apple nightly for five years, but this time he missed his ann, and the bullet penetrated the forehead of the man on whose barred head the apple had been placed. The victim of this performance was still alive at last accounts, but a man with bullet hole in his forehead can hardly be rated as good life insur- ance risk.

A REMARKABLE recovery of speech is recorded in the case of Mrs. Mary Hop kins, of Rose Valley, N. Y. Six years ago she became an inmate of the Wyane county almshouse, and two years later lost the power of speech from paralysis of the vocal chords, at the age of forty i've. Until about six weeks ago no con tinuous effort was made to restore her voice; then, on the advice of Dr. An drew F. Sheldon, an electric battery was applied to her neck and mouth every day for a month. This treatment gave no promise of success until fort night ago, when the matron entered Mrs. Hopkins presence, and was gladly greeted with a loud "Hello'' from the hitherto speechless woman: She now speaks as well as ever.

How Indians Appear on a Marketing Ex-
 DeditlOn.

petition.
 An incident of this typical journey am describing would, at more than one season, be meeting with some band of Indians going to a post with furs for barter. Though the bulk of these hunt CTS fetch their quarry in the spring and early summer, some may come at any time. The procession may be only that of a family or of the two or more fami- lies that live together or as neighbors. The man, if there is but one group, is certain to be stalking ahead, carrying nothing but his gun. Then come the women, laden like pack-horses. They may have a sled packed with the furs and drawn by dog or two, and an extra dog may bear & balanced load on his back, but the squaw is certain to have spine-warping burden of meat and a battered kettle and pappoose, and whatever personal property of any and every sort she and her Hege lord own. Chil- dren who can walk have to do SO, but it sometimes happens that a baby a year and half or two years old is on her back, while a newborn infant, swaddled in blanket stuff, and bagged and tied like a bologna sausage, sur mounts the load on the sled. A more tatterdemalion outfit than a band of these pauperized savages form it would be difficult to imagine. On the plains they will have horses dragging tra- voises, dogs with travoises, women and children loaded with impedimenta, a colt or two running loose, the lordly men riding free, struggling CUTS a plenty, babies in arms, babies swad- dled, and toddlers afoot, and the whole battalion presenting at its exposed points exhibits of torn blankets, raw meat, distorted pots and pans, tent, poles and rusty traps, in all eloquently suggestive of an eviction in the slums of a great city.-Julian Ralph, in liar Dcrs Magazine.

I1he lnoEe aae oG CFInle.


 Judge Isaac 0. Parker, of the United States district court for western Ar kansas, lately made some startling statements, and followed them with suggestive comments. In charging the grand jury at the opening of his court at Fort Smith, he said that whereas the ascertained number of murders in this country in 1889 was less than thirty-six hundred, and in 1890 but forty-three hundred, it was very near six thousand in 1891.
 It is startling to learn that there were twenty-five more supposed mur- derers lynched in 1889 than were execu- ted according to law, and the excess of lynched over executed murderers was sixty-seven in 1890; but assuming that only one person was concerned in each murder, hardly one in twenty of those guilty of the crime in these two years suffered the penalty of death, either at the hands of the law or by the violence of a mob.
 Judge Parker gives several reasons for the shocking state of affairs thus re- vealed: The indifference and incompe- tence of courts; the general prevalence of perjury; the use of corrupt means- money, and social and other influences to shield criminals; the sickly senti- mentality that turns an assassin into q hero as soon as he is in danger of his life, and, finally, the indifference of the people at large.
 This comment, says the Youths Com panion, is substantially true. The remedy must come first at the fountain head The people are the source of all power. If they so will, the evil can be stopped. Society must protect itself, but the first thing for society to do is to recognize the danger it is in because il does not protect itself

ONE of the leading Jewish publica- tions of this country insists that ''the Jews are no longer of one particular race, but are of nearly all races" It says that ''the Jew theory is not ap- proved by intelligent Jews, but only by those who want to build Chinese wall around themselves" and it adds: ''There are Mongolian Jews and there are black Jews in Abyssinia. All peo- pies and nations have their Jews. The Jews originally came of one stock; that cannot be denied, but their racial iden- tity has been obliterated. and their only present distinction is that they are ad- herents of a peculiar form of religion. The Jews are no more a separate race than are the Catholics or any other re- hgious body

A coNsPrRAToR's CONFESSION.
The Burned Body Found Was S: olen From
 the Seattle Cemetery.

RadlOH Went to San FranciScO, While His be swindIers, Together With RadIon'a Wife, Who Had Been Seut Away, Were to Meet in Germany and Share the Spoils.
 tery surrounding the burned body found in the house of William Radloff, near this city, is cleared up by the con- fession of Kostrsuch, who was arrested shortly after the fire, charged with the murder of Radloff. He says it was a conspiracy against the three New York insurance companies in which Ra6loff had his life insured, and that the latter is alive and we'll.
 KostraHeh says that he, Radloff and Mrs. Radloff planned the whole af- fair. Radlof applied for for insurance In the New York Life, the Mutual and the Equitable, and was passed by the physicians as first class risk. A few days after the doctors had passed him and the applications had been sent 10 the home offices for acceptance, Radloff and Kostrauch went by night to the cemetery near their home and dug up
 
 about the same age as Radloff, who had died on Feb. 19.
 The coffin with the body was buried again in the chicken yard near Radloff' S house. Then the conspirators waited for the insurance policies. When every thing was ready Mrs. Radloff was sent away, the body dug up, stripped, and some of Radloff's clothing put on in- stead. The body was laid on Radloff's s bed and the house fired. Radloff started the same night for San Francisco, but Kostrauch remain ed behind. He played clever part after his arrest in order to divert the officers so that no descripti on of Radloff would be telegraphed abroad. He was prepared, however, to prove an alibi later.
 Mrs. Radloff denies any knowledge of the conspiracy, but Kostrauch alleges that they were all to meet in Germany and share the spells. The police are after Radloff, who will be prosecuted by the insurance companies for conspiracy to defraud.

 The new county seats have been set tied, city and county governments or ganized peacefully and all is quiet to- day. The settlers are already breaking prairie and planting corn and boomers are getting in their work on selling their claims.
 In some of the new towns boomers are selling lots for $1 apiece. The home steaders are suffering from lack of water and unless rain comes soon the settle ment of large sections will be delayed for time.

LONDON, April 23.-Major- General Sir Lewis Pelly, Conservative NJ. P. for North Hackney, is dead. He was born in 1895 and was educated at Rugby. He entered the army at the age of 15, and secured promotion by distinguished service. In 1851 he was appointed at- tache to Sir James Outram. He was in the Persian war of 1857, and for some time afterward he was on special service missions to Zanzibar and other places. In 1872 he was appointed, with Sir Bar tie Frere, on mission to the east coast of Africa and Arabia for the suppression of the slave trade.

PRESIDENT HARRISON appears to hay,

PRESIDENT HARRISON appears to have been brought to a realizing sense of his situation by the speech of Senator Teller, of Colorado, charging him with using his official influence to control the votes of the representatives and senators on the silver question, and with being allied with the money bags of Wall street, against the interests of the people, for since that speech was de- livered he has stated positively that un- less something should occur to bring about a change in his mind he would shortly take occasion to state formally that he would not be a candidate for a second term. This decision was not, however, altogether due to MT Teller's speech. The fact that he cannot pcssi- bly, be elected if he is nominated has been thrust upon Mir Harrison from all quarters recently, and he has at last realized that it is true. Platt and War ner Miller both agree that he cannot carry New York; Quay and Cameron admit that his nomination would make Pennsylvania doubtful; Indiana republi- cans say he would have no chance of carrying his own state; men who know have told him that it was doubtful whether he could carry 8 single one of of the Pacific states, and all republi- cans expect to lose several of the north western states. Is it any wonder that with this outlook he became discour- aged and concluded to withdraw while Ina oo,,Id do so with dionItx-p
