Where They Eat Tobacco.

Perhaps there is nothing more peoul-
lar about the Eskimoes of Point Bar
row than their methods of using tobac-
CO, which, of course. they procure from
the whites. They know good from bad
tobacco. When they get hold of few
plugs of conmissary tobacco from a
vessel Of the United States navy, they
show marked appreciation of it. The
habit of chewing the weed seems to be
universal. Men, women and even un-
weaned children keep quid, often of
enormous size, constantly in the mouth.
The juice is not spit out, but swallow
ed with the saliva, without producing
any symptoms of nausea. Washington

Nervous EacI.a0Illry After Death.

Experiments made by M. d'Arsonval
with an instrument he calls myophone
prove, contrary to the older opinion,
that nervous excitabihty may exist for
many hours after death. The old test Of
the muscle shortening is no doubt not
applicable long after death has departed,
but as the sound given out by the myo-
phone proves, the death of nerve is
much less rapid than has been hitherto
supposed, and nerve may act on mus

County Official Paper
ANTI OPTION BILL PASSED,

The Anti. Option bill which passed
the United States Senate by n vote OF
40 to 20 last Tuesday, will doubtless
become a law OF the land. The
gamblers in wheat, pork and other
farm products opposed tho bill from
first to last, but the farmers advo-
Gated it throughout.
It was shown that it had been the
Gus ON with the produce gamblers to
sell wheat and pork that they did not
own and had no dea of delivering.
Frequently the sales amounted to
more OF those products than could be
had in the markets, and run the
chances Of depressing the price SO
that on the day named for delivery
the market price would be less than
at the time the sale was made, when
the difference would be paid them in
cash. Those "paper sales made it APP
pear that the markets were glutted
with wheat and pork when such n
condition did not exist, and the con-
sequence vas n decline in the prices
of those commodities in Liverpool
and other foreign markets which
received their supplies from the
United States.
The passage of the Act will stop
gambling in what the gamblers do
not own, in the great wheat, corn
and pork centere of the West, where
the farmers produce is sold by specu-
lntors before he takes it to market
and where sales Of q million bushels
of WHEAT. or q thousand barrels Of
pork are made upon delivery Of half
the quantity, the farmer paying The
expenses of the transaction.-Reno

ldCIS are SlrODS, etuDDOTu anu ulllc
lenting, and if reports be true, he has
committed a crime which, for blood
thirstiness, equals Billy the Kid, the
human tiger, without the courage Of
the Western desperate, to soften the
deeds with admiration for the bravery
displayed.
In the first place Bolan is said to
have repeatedly poked fun at Wills
infrmity, an almost useless leg, and
when asked to cease Teioined with
aggravating and insrlting mien
what can yen do about it, This
scofling and ridiculing another who Is
afflicted by the hand or viii Of God,
itself shows a very thoughtless dispO-
sition, to say the least. But TO gOad
one on until driven to desperation
the cripple strikes with his only avail
able weapor, crrtcb, and because
painful external wound is received, to
plot murder, is terrible to contem
plate. The evidence so far CLEANED
points to the fact that after having
been struck by Hungerford, Sanford
deliberately went off for his gun and
as deliberately waited for an oppor-
tunity, when his victims back would
be turned, to accomplish his awful
design. And to accomplish this he
was forced to wait some 20 or 80
minutes, all the time in the store
where Hungerford was and we be-
lieve he talked to him, and it was
when the unfortunate young man
was STOPPING over in the ice box to
get some ice that Sanford fired the
fatal shot. This occurred on Friday
afternoon last about or near 6
o'clock. The weapon, a shotgun, was
loaded with small shot, but being at
close range the load tore out a large
piece of flesh from the back Of the
neck and just touched the spinal col
umn. Immediately after the shoot
ing Sanford was arrested and placed
in safe keeping. Hungerford lin
gered until Tuesday morning at 1925
O'clock and then the spark of life which
had been kept ablaze by an indomi-
table will for so long, expired, and
the soul of VIII Hungerford was be-
fore its God.
He was buried from the Catholic
church Wednesday morning, his body
being followed to the grave by many
sorrowing friends.
To the wife of Mr.. Hungerford The
PRoGREss, stranger, extends its ex-
pressions of truest sympathy in her
sad bereavement. And to the mother
of Bolan Sanford, may God bless her
because she is a mother, our heart |
goes out in reverential tenderness. To |
both the parents of this unfortunate
youth our prayer is that the Good |
and Just One will extend His consol- |
ing grace and love. And for Bolan
we hope that reports are not true,
but that he will be able to show on
trial more paliation for his offense
than current reports charge him with;
for these indicate savagery in the
matter which is never shown except |
by barbarians, tigers or maniacs.
MIR. Hungerford was baptized ac-
cording to the doctrines of the Cath
olic faith, and declared that he had
entirely forgiven Bolan for taking
his life. Fit words on which to
stand before the Maker.
