Mr.. Harlin Brown, our veterinary

Surgeon Brown was at once summoned

lieved the beast but did not perform q
complete cure. The doctor has labor
ed with the horse increasingly ever
since and great credit is due him for
the manner in which he has handled
the case. DR.. Brown is an experienced

takes charge of a case-he either kills
or cures p. d. q.

Wait for 1899.

1t is remarkable coincidence that
the figure is intimately connected with
every great mining excitement of the
present century. The great Algerian
gold excitement came in 1909. In 1899
came the Mantazan Mountain mining
craze, where the gold nuggets as big
as Aour barrels had been found. The
California fever came in lS49, and the
Pixies Peak boom in 1859. In 1869 the
lead was struck that made Virginia
City place OF Importance, and in 1879
the LeadvilIe carbonates were discover
ed valuable. OF con Sc, the connec-
tion OF the figure 8 is only coincidence
but it is none the less curious. Globe

iSITU4TION ALARMING.

A Cleveland dispatch Of the 2Sth
gives some idea of the ore trade con-
ditions. 1t says:
The situation on the lakes and in the
related industry of iron ore mining Is In
such depressed condition as has not
been known in years. Mine after mine
is shut down and Mr.. w. G. Mather,
president of the Cleveland Cliffs min
ing company, all of whose shafts and
mines will be closed down Friday night
SAYS that the shipments of ores down
the lakes will be curtailed nearly sc
per cent. this season.
"We shut down." said Mr.. Mather
"simply because we are unable to dis
pose of the product at cost price, and
we cannot tell when we will resume,
certainly not until there is demand
for our ores and better prices"
In the same range with the Iron Cliffs
mines is the Champion which has de-
cided to pull up its pumps and allow
the mine to fill with water.
The Republic Iron company OF this
CITY has wired its superintendent tc
shut down the Republic mine for sixty
days. 1t is known, however, that op'
erations will not be resumed until such
time as the state of the trade makes il
advisable. !,
AZ q result of the depression in the
ore trade and consequent low freight
rates there is much talk among owners
of the smaller vessels of tieing up until
better rates can be obtained. There Il
also talk of calling an informal meeting
of vessel owners to discuss the situa

Willie Stehline and three other
Lake Linden boys were sent by their
parents to work in potato field.
The boys thought there would be
more fun in taking sail on the lake,
so they chose the latter. The boat
capsized and Willie was drowned.
The pumps haye been ordered out of
the Champion mine at Ishpeming, and
the works will oe allowed to fill with
water. This is one of the big mines of
the Upper Peninsula and the move is
equivalent to abandonment, as it cannot
be unwatered in less than six months.
The low price of iron ore is the cause.
The proprietors OF the New York
mine at Ishpeming have surrendered
their lease which had two more years to
run. Active operations in the mine
were practically suspended about eight
years ago. The lease covered 40 acres.
The mine is not altogether worked out,
but the vein run into the Cleveland
mine property. About $4,000 tons of
ore, which have been in the stock piles
for years, have now been sold. This is
the mine out of which Samuel J. Tilden
made the large portion of his fortune.
An old character at the Sault who is
q good workingman when sober, but
who quite frequently drains the glass
too much, was found in the street dead
drunk the other day. He was exposed
to the rays of 95-in- the-shade sun.
Bystanders tried to remove him to o
cooler spot, but the old mans faithful
dog was keeping watch over his master
and wouldn't let anybody come near.
An officer with much difficulty succeed
ed in driving the dog away and taking
care of the man.
While Leman Bros circus was on its
way to the Sault from the western part
of the Upper Pcninsular, number OF
the employees of the show got into a
free-for-all fight, said to have been the
result of drunk. When Pembine
Junction was reached one of the men
was taken off the train, badly injured.
He died within few minutes. The
assailants escaped from the train and
could not be captured. 1t is not known
what the names of the persons connect
ed with the affray were.

Crawling and Dodging.

Republicans talk about a change of
administration creating financial
panic. If this government has arrived
at that point in its existence when it
has become so tender, so rotten. so
weak, so demoralized that it can no
longer be administered by the majority,
| it is about time for a revolution. If,
after thirty years of power, the repub.
lican party has fixed up the affairs of
the nation so that the success of some
other political party creates business
distress, then the republican party was
not gotten rid of day too soon. We
pride ourselves that in this country the
majority rules, but the leaders of the
republican party assert that either the
policy of the minority must be contin-
ued or general bankruptcy result.
The present financial troubles would
have come upon this country in spite of
the success or defeat of any party.
Do republican papers believe that ex-
Secretary Foster and Protective T ariff
Mckinley would have avoided bank
ruptcy if Harrison had been reelected?
| We admit that some of the present f.
nancial disturbance is based upon want
of confidence, but back and beyond
| this is a system of wa ste and extrava-
gance which brings about distress and
poverty just as inexorably as does the
law of nature impel water to seek its
| level. The nation or individual that
spends beyond receipts brings national
/ or individual panics. The republican
party, by systematic policy of waste
and extravaganza, brought the country
to the verge of financial ruin. Every
year prices of everything produced by
labor have declined and the toilers have
become poorer. In the face of this
fact the cry has gone forth that the
dawn Of great prosperity could be dis
cerned by the shrewd fellows at the
head of affairs. New channels of ex-
travagance were opened and the people
asked to be content by an occasional
! sight of the golden calf exhibited by the
party bosses. There is no wealth than
that produced by labor and every dol
lar squandered by any branch of gov
eminent is direct draft upon the brain
and Drawn, the blood and sweat OF
those who toll. For its extravaganza
and corruption, the republican party
was hurled from power. The change
was too long delayed, hence our present
condition of affairs. Winfield Tribune.

Young cyclones,

Thursday afternoon, August 10th,
a peculiar series of small cyclones, or
whirlwinds, prevailed in the vicinity
of Pawnee Rock and Larned, and
south of those places. They formed
in clouds, high up, and were mostly
apparently stationary. Some of them
looked, from distance of FIVE to ten
miles, TO be about the size and shape
of church steeple, with the small
end down; while others were run
down to almost a. straight point the
size of stove pipe. Most of them
vented their whirling fury in the air.
or were dispelled upon coming in con-
tact with dark cloud that hung be-
low them, near the earth.
At Pawnee Rock one of them struck
, the Arkansas river, followed the
stream short distance and sucked up
the water and sand, and when the
bridge was reached it was almost en-
tirely demolished. Two spans were
! thrown down stream and one up
stream; large timbers were snapped
in two and heavy irons twisted. The
contact with the bridge seemed to dis
pell the dangerous little twister, as il
went all to pieces Immediately after
striking the bridge
