\ Onderful Fish Story.

"When I was fishing on the Kan kakee some fifteen years ago." said the man with the cigarette "a whirl- wind came along and carried off my vest that was hanging on limb just over my head. It had my watch in it and tailor's account. We'll, the whole outfit sailed out of sight in less than a minute. Seven years afterward a party of us were camp ed up the same river, only 100 yards farther up. It was my turn to do the cooking, so I started out for some dry wood, stepped on log, which caved in, and To as the story books say, there lay my watch, with the some old tailor's bill twisted through the ring. It was still run ming.
 "Oh, come off You want us to ask you how such a thing could be and then you'll explain that tie whirlwind wound your watch up so tight that it ran for seven years"
 II didn't say the watch was still running" said the story teller, as he lighted another bacillus extermina. tor; II had reference to the tailor's bill. It is running yet, in fact. Indianapolis Journal.

eyes, rather comedy figure and good features, and is about twenty-six years old.
 After her true sex became known she seemed to feel out of place in male clothing, and upon reaching the hotel went through her camp luggage and hauled out a neat cal leo dress and a jaunty sailor hat, which set off her trim figure very neatly. She is good talker and evidently fairly we'll educated, but there is one subject she will not talk about and that is herself. She admits that she has been "on the road" for several weeks and says she knows a great many prominent people in Texas and New Mexico whom she will call upon to bail her out of jail, but that is all that can be got out of her.

A writer in the Mining and Scien
 tific Review, who has talked with
 Capt. A. NJ. Brown, formerly an of
 ficer in the U. s. Army, who has
 made several tours into the interior
 of Alaska, has the following article
 based on information so obtained
 X * There is coal, iron, lead antimony and other metals besides gold and silver, and all in immense quantities. The climate is not such as to induce immigration, but still is good and healthy, with days ranging from twelve to twenty-four hours in length during the summer, and the nights correspondingly long in winter. Much of Alaska is south of the latitude of Norway and Swe- den, and has better climate than either, with richer soil, and as much of it is within the influence of the Japanese warm current, with a tenn perature of 75 degrees, I have no doubt but as good grain, such as wheat, barley, oats and rye, can be grown there as in any other country in the world in the same latitude. The rivers swarm with the greatest variety of the choicest fish in the world. King:salmon, weighing from 100 to 125 pounds, and often of greater weight, are caught in great quantities in the Yukon and other rivers. In the lakes between the Yukon and the Kuskuokuim rivers there is variety of pickerafwhich grow to the unusual length of twelve feet or more and weigh from 90 to 125 pounds. There is little large game north of the mouth of the Yukon, but the country is literally filled with almost every kind of small feathered game. What a re- gIon for sportsmen who are hardy and bold enough to venture upon their ice bound feeding grounds.

Over Nineteen Million Lives.

Humanity is continually at war against itself, without ever having taken time to reflect and ask the reason why. It opens it's veins for the simple pleasure of seeing it's noble blood how-blood that is al- ways young and continually renew ed. How many men are destroyed by war in a century? Official re- ports and documents presented in the best accredited historical trea- ties enables us easily to calculate the number of soldiers who have been killed or have died during modern wars.
 Thus, for example, We know that during the Franco. German war of 187O-1, 25O,OO0 victims were slain on the two sides; that during the Cri- mean war, ,1S54-5, 705 ,000were slain; that during the short Italian war of 1859, 63,000 men fell on the field of battle or died in hospitals; that the game of chess between Prussia and Austria in 1866 deprived 46,000 in- habitants of life; that in the United States the strife between the north and south caused the death of 450,- GOO men in 1860-4.
 We know also that the wars of the frstEmpire poured out the blood of 5,000,000 Europeans, and more- over that France has taken up arms twenty times since 1915. On add ing the number of victims of war during the last century total of 19,840,900 is reached simply in the civilized countries of Europe and in the United States.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

UndorwoighIng OF Sugar.
New YoRK, August 29.-The Tribune
says: The custom house officers have
succeeded in unearthing some Of the
old frauds by which the government has
been cheated out of thousands Of dollars
in the importation Of sugar.
The agents and Surveyor Lyons have
been at work ON the case for some time.
They have not yet finished their inves.
tigation, but have COMO far enough to
know the nature and extent OF the
frauds, and will lay the facts before the
United States district attorney, and as
soon as proper legal evidence can be
secured, a number Of prosecutions will
be begun.
They have found extensive and sys-
tematic under-weighing OF sugar from
August !, 1901, to March !, 1892, when
sugar wis put on the free list. Over
1900, 900 poundsof sugar werc imported
which were not accounted for to tho
custom honse and the government was
detrauded out Of from sos, 900 to SIS 600.
Eight importers are involved in the
frauds, as well as several employees in
the weigher's department. The officers
will not at present reveal the names OF
the persons implicated.

WASHINGTON, D. O., August 29-The
following dispatch was received at the

outbreak here among Russian emigrants

cabled as follows:
.Cholera iminent. Strongly urge

"The department has already taken

at Liverpool" said Acting Secretary
Spaulding, Of the treasury department,
to-day. Under date OF August "a the
minister from France TO the United
States, NJ. Patenotre, sent to the secre-
try OF state, in conformity with instruc-
tions from the French minister Of for
eign affairs, a report presented to the
consulting committee OF public hygeine,
Of France. announcing the results Of tho
investigation commenced by the board
Of health concerning the recent cpl
demic OF cholera in the department OF
Seine. Itsays in part that the use of
the Seine water appears to have been
tho solo condition Of the formation OF
the centres Of injection, and this e1-
plains the small degree of expansion, or
rather tho non-expansion Of the epi-
demic. 4
A number of cases and some deaths
were reported at Paris. We saw the
majority Of these attacks, and made a
close examination into their disease
and examined their discharges. We
may absolutely assert thatnot a genuine
case arose in Paris.

LONDON, August 29.-What with the
assertions and denials made regarding
the cholera in England, it would be
hard TO decide whether or not the
cholerine cases that haye occurred have
been true Asiatic cholera or not In
some quarters it is positively asserted
that true cholera has affected an en-
trance into tho country, while on the
other hand 1t is just as positively as
serted that tho disease is nothing but
simple cholera, from which no danger
need be apprchended.
Dr.. Whltcomb, tho sanitary officer at
GraNesend, who inspected the steamer
Gamma which arrived there from Ham
burg on Thursday last and three Of
whose passengers subsequently died Of
what was said 70 be Asiatic cholera,
.emphatically denies that the disease
was the dreaded eastern scourge. He
attended all three Of the victims in the
hospital and says that they died from
cholerinc. He further says that the
