EDITOR GREAT WEST:
was at Qrookston yesterday and met several Of
our leading alliance and We discussing ways
and means sOf the alliance. i suggested and Judge
Ives went little farther than myself NV ideas
are the alliances throughout the northern part
the state Polk County especially, are in poor standing
on account OF non payment OF dues, and as the time
tor our county and state annual meeting is at hand
that the different alliances holding charters may meet
money money, old dues be cancelled, and allowed
to send delegates to the different county meetings and
to the state meeting they and such delegates be
allowed all rights and privileges The times have been
bad the farmer has been Obliged to drOD out he
would rather be no member than owe back Dues.
Mr. Ives thought We could pay our secretary by sub
ecriptiOn and all other expenses the way, and
leave the alliance living organization. We will rally
at Crookston the 9th, county meeting and we

TERRE BONNE'S sALAMM8O.
Wonderful Snake Charming by an Old
 Negro Voodoo Woman in Louisiana.

Wonderful Snake Charming by an Old Negro VoodoO Woman in Louisiana.
 An aged negress of great repute as a
 "'vOOdOo." or witch doctress. among the
 negroes of this section, writes a core spOndent from Terre Bonne, La, ac- cOrding to the Chicago Times, is attract ing much attention, not only. from those of her own color, but from the more intelligent portion of the com munity, and the way in which she does
 this is to apparently swallow a num- lor of -rIalI snakes of a variety un- known in this section. They are of q
 dusl1y color, nearly black, pied with a
 dull green about the flat head, and of q dirty white in the belly. These rep
 tiles remain secreted about old Nance's cabin until she gives a peculiar whiS-
 ting call, when they will come to her,
 wriggling in great haste over the floor,
 up her dress, and run into her open
 mouth, missing hideously. They disap-
 pear and remain hidden sometimes for
 minutes. She asserts that they are con cealed in her stomach until she recalls them, when they will come pouring out to writhe about her scraggy neck and coil in her bosom.
 Where the snakes really go when they vanish in her mouth is a mystery
 and has puzzled all the physicians 1 about, many having come from New 1 Orleans to witness the phenomenon. | Some really believe that the snakes do go down into e-stOmach, while others l are convinced the witch is simply play l Ing some sleight-of-hand trick on them. but if the latter is the case 1t is so clev- ! erly done that there is no detecting the performance.
 The witch presents a most eXtraOrdi- nary and hideOus appearance sitting l with the snakes darting their flat heads in and out of her tOothless mouth, with
 their little bead-like eyes snapping as ii
 in fury all about their mistress. As
 nearly as they can be counted there
 are six or seven of these reptiles,
 though old Nance says there are many
 more, but they are all so much of a size
 and color that they cannot be identified.
 They are probably of a harmless
 nature, though old Nance declares they
 are highly poisonous and no one wish | eS to experiment with them.

THE MOVEMENT OF MARS.
A Few Points of Interest About the Ruddy
 Planet of War.

The diameter of Mars in miles is about forty-two hundred, so that it's surface is about three-tenths that of our earth, and its volume about One- seventh. Its mass is about One-ninth of the earth's mass, and its density some seven-tenths. Its gravity, says a writer in the Forum, is thirty-eight One-hun- dredths; that is, Q body weighing one hundred pounds on the earth would weigh but thirty-eight on Mars. It TO- tates on it's axis m twenty-four hours, thirty-seven minutes and twenty-three secOnds-that is, in about the same time as the earth; it is flattened at the poles like the earth, and its equator is inclined to it's orbit just as the earth's Is, and by something like the same amount. It receives about three-sev- enths as much of the suns light and heat as falls upon the earth. It seems to be certain, moreover, that the atmOs- phere of Mars contains a considerable amount of watery vapOr. The re- searches of M. Gerigny show that the tides on Mars have little to do with. the changes observed on it's surface. These figures show, on the whole, family likeness between Mars and the earth Mars is considerably smaller than our planet, but it apparently presents many analogies to it.

A Huge Freight Car.

What is claimed to be the largest freight car ever built was turned out at Altoona, Pa, few days ago. It is to carry the one hundred and twenty-fOur- ton cannon Krupp is making for ex- hibitiOn at Chicago from Baltimore to Chicago. The car is practically two cars, with eight pairs of wheels each, iointed together and made into one by an iron bridge. Another ear of almost equal size is building to transport two sixty-fve-ton guns and big piece of armor plate over the same route.
 The dromedary parcel post service ID the German territories of southwestern Africa has given results better than was expected. The drOmedaries are adapted to the climate, are not affected by the prevalent cattle diseases, are not made footsore in stony regions and do not suffer extreme thirst when deprived of water for week. They travel, each carrying a weight of two hundred and fifty pounds, as fast as an OK team.

HIGH-pRiCED FOOD.
Tobacco and Gold on Par on the Upper
 Yukon River, Alaska.

| Yukon River, Alaska. R. D. Miles. a recent visitor in San Francisco. gives the Call graphic ac- count of the prices current for ordinary commodities on the upper Yukon river, Alaska.
 He has. according to the Call, just re- turned from that country, where, he states, there were over one hundred men at work during the last summer washing gold from the river bars and rifts. The majority of them will winter in that country.
 ''Well, I'll tell you, I am glad to get back to civilization again" he said. Gold is plentiful: in fact it is an Ordi- ] nary trick for man to wash out from twenty to sixty dollars a day, but a man needs all that to live anyway com fortable in that country, and he has but little to show after a season of hard work.
 When I left that country a trader with small stock of goods was making his way up the river from some of the coast trading points in a canoe. In fact he had several of them loaded with provisions. He was assisted in his jour ney by half dozen Indians.
 Well, when he left, after selling out his cargOes, he had about all the gold dust the miners had washed out in four or five months of steady work.
 I've ran short of provisions, and had subsisted on bear meat and other game so long that we willingly parted with nearly all we had to get some civilized eatables.
 ''WeH. this trader-his name was Elm mons-sold the several sacks of spuds he had with him at the rate of from thirty to fifty cents per potato.
 His four sold for twenty dollars a sack, and we were just glad enough to pay five dollars a pound for the very poorest quality of tea he, had with him.
 He had several sides of bacon in his stock, which he disposed of at about one dollar a slice. A few sacks of the despised bean brought one dollar a pound.
 We had been out of tobacco for near ly two months, and had drawn but lit tie solace out of pipefuls of dried leaves and moss. When this fellow appeared on the scene we took him to our hearts as a benefactor and gave him ounces of gold for plugs of tobacco. An ounce of gold brings sixteen dollars in Alaska and nineteen dollars at the mint here
 We bought hundredweight of on ions, for which we were assessed six ounces of gold.
 ''I tell you what, we poured out the dust upon that fellow Emmons, and he had so much of it I don't think would like to take the contract to pack it from here to the city hall.
 You must not think from this ap- palling price list that we were starving to death. We had plenty of game and fish, but that kind of grub pals on the appetite"
 The ''boys," however, appear to have made money on the Yukon river bars. Mir. Miles states that all of them have stakes and he came down to Victoria with several of them who had ''cleaned up" from twelve thousand dollars to twenty-eight thousand dollars apiece.
