Makes 1t Right With Allin.

JAMESTOWN, N. d., Special. July B.-Re-
ierring toa telegram from Grand Forks
stating that Lieut.. Gov. Allln had threat
ened the jamestown Alert with a libel suit
for printing q rumor that Allin is in the
secret employ OF the Great Northern road,
the Alert tonight says:
The telt gram is false in stating that Alert
made any charge against Hon. Roger Allin. The
Alert made none and makes noile. 1t printed
the report as a rumor coming from reputable
sources concerning IL pubic official, and
published as any citizen has u right to speak
or print i'll the interest of tine public. Mr..
Allin pronounced the rumor utterly and alb
solutely false, and his word will have to be taken
as conclusive in the absence OF amy other evil
to zee any injustice done Lieut.. Gov. Alliu by
the circulation or publication OF any false re-
port, and cheerRully regrets the same if such has
occurred: This is due not only to Lieut.. Gov;
or Individual.

WONDER IN
What h Words Twenty Billions Of
Miles," Really Do Mean.

Miles" Really Do Mean.
1t requires but little effort to esti-
mate what the words ''twenty billions
OF miles, really near. A billion is
one million millions, and / shall en-
deavor to convey an idea OF this
amount by II few simple illustrations.
Surprising that our great forefather,
Adam had begun to count as quickly
as he could, and that when his life
was ended his son commenced where
the father had left of, and that he
spent his whole lifetime, day and
night, counting as fast as he could,
and supposing that upon his death he
had enjoined upon his heirs an eter.
nifty OF counting, and that they con-
tinued doing SO up to the present mo.
ment, their united efforts would not
yet have reached the amount Of one-
quarter Of q billion. What depths OF
mystery!
Another illustration may be given
to convey IN idea of that unthinkable
distance. If we were to take q sum
equal to five times the amount OF our
national debt and were to expend it
in two-cent postage stamps, we would
get about 1000, 600, 600 of them.
Now draw n line around the great
city OF London, includingevery housein
the suburbs, and thentake an area of
equal size, stick your billion stamps
side by side, touchingeach other, over
the entire area, and you will not be
able to get them all on.
After every inch OF that immense
surface has been covered you>will have
countless thousands of your billion OF
stamps left. That star is twenty
billions of miles away!
What a wonder in distance! We
cannot grasp it in our imaginations,
nor are we more successful if we try to
make a map of it. Suppose we pro-
coed by first laying down the sun and
then placing the earth M inch from
it, that being the relative distance.
Then; if we require at what distance
to put your star, using the same scale,
we will find that it must be placed a
dist ance OF eleven miles.
Knowing the distance of the near
est fixed star and feeling the wonder
ment which that very distance excites,
what IRE we to say Of the distance Of
the furthest OF those which are visible
to us? Here, indeed, is the puny mind
of man bewildered beyond expression.

BELIEVES her INSANE,
testimony of an Expert on Mental Dis
eases in Alice Mi%cball,s Tr,.,

eases III Alice Mitchell's Trial.
MEMPHIS, July 26.-Alice Mitchell's trial
opened to-day with the court room packed
with people. DR.. B. +. Turner, who has
made the study OF diseases of the mind q
spec atty, was the first witness for the de-
tense. He said insanity might remain la
tent a lifetime and never develop. Again,
an accident might develop it at any time,
and the subject might remain insane or
might recover and have a relapse, or death
might ensuc from exciting causes. He de-
tailed the matters discussed at intervals
with the de endant. She told him of her
plans relative to marryin, Freda. Sh. in
sisted that she could marry Freda and
could not bc talked out of it.. The witness
illustrated this orm OF delusion by citingth
the recorded case OF a man who imagined
he was u mile high. The victims 0 such
decisions would argue logically up to a GER
tain point and then fly the track. So it was
with Alice Mitchell in her delus OH that
she could marry Frcda. There was al en-
tire absence tf rem,or>elor the deed. When
asked it she did NOT know it was wrong Tor
her to kill Freda, her reply was that she
had ben told it was wrong. He was of the
opinion that the defendant was insane, and
incurably so.
Miss Johnson, the companion Of Alice
Mitchell at the time Of the murder, was re-
called by the defense and asked if she had
ever seen Alice and Frcda Ward hug and
kiss in public. She said that Alice and
Fre,la, while swinging in a hammock at
Gold Dust, embraced aud kissed each other
repeatedly before a large crowd OF men.
the witness asked Alice il she was not
ashamed, and she replied: II don't care Tor
what t c hateful men think. l will hu!
and Kiss where and when l plaese."

Whitman's First Effort.

The most interesting talk that l
aver had with Walt Whitman was on
one Winter afternoon some five years
ago, when l dropped in and found the
poet ready and eager Ito gossip in
the early candle-light of old age" His
theme was himself and his book, and
he told the story not all to me, as it
seemed, but as though he were taking
a backward glance over Travelled
roads, alone. The starting-point
was an answer to the question.
mir. Whitman, how did you come
to write poetry?" ~~-
And in his reply he said that at the
time when he was a carpenter-builder
in Brooklyn he would buy a bit OF
property in the suburbs, erect q little
house upon it with his own
hands, sell the place at an
average profit of about 5000, and,
taking the money thus earned, 60
down to Long Island and lie out on
the rocks, reading, dreaming and
watching the ships.

IRON RIVER EihE.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Special, July &c.
Neighbor ng towns have responded gener-
ously with aid for the hundreds Of
homeless people at Iron River. The loss
of household effects was Aecd!essly great
owing to the expectation that fire engines
would arrive and many made no effort to
save their goods until too late. Not over
$4,000 insurance was carried on the de-
stroyed property. Several Superior con-
tracto s are heavy losers, having erected
many buildings and given time OH same.

origin. Tramps, OF which their were scores

Feet and Toes.
There is IN armless man living in
Antwerp who paints, using his toes,
and who is above the average as q
copyist. This is an old story, but it
is always new and interesting to
watch his skiIlful play OF foot. In the
gallery he is as much OF a show as the
pictures. His perfect indifference to
surroundings and disregard of the
number of eyes focused on him leads
an observer to regard him as a ma
chine and to forget that this is a
creature of flesh and blood and soul.
But one oma saw deeper. She
was sitting near when q letter vas
handed the artist. He took it in one
foot, and a dexterous toe of the 9th
