Bear Winierihg nels.

Along Grisley Bear River, in the Rock.
les, there are many bear haunts or win.
tering dens, which the Indian guides
point out to travellers. According to Ia
dian stories, bear will lie in a dark aud
secluded retreat all winter without food
or nourish nent, sucking its paws. TIA
bear does not burro in the ground, but
covers himself with fallen leaves. Over
the den the snow is often many feet
deep, and the bears hiding place is only
discovered by an air hole so small that
nothing but the keen eye of savage
osald find it. TIE Indians say that the
Rocky Mountain bear lies thus 10 tor
pid state from December until March,.

The uniformity which distinguishes
the utterances of republican and demo-
cratic papers of the Pacific coast anent
Grover Cleveland's action on the Geary
bill gives additional glitter to Mr.. Wea-
ver's candidacy in 1896. Even Tom
Geary himself would have come out as
a populist if he could have anticipated
Mr.. Cleveland's suspension of the pro-
visions of his bill. Taken in connection
with the fact that the Geary bill was
never intended as deportation meas
ure, but simply to bar the illegal i'm
portation of coolies, the failure of the
administration to comply with the con-
stitutional mandate with regard to the
enforcement of the laws of the land
places Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle
on the defensive.

The Washington hotels are suffering
this summer through the loss of large
transient custom which they usually
enjoy from the great number of tourists

are taking in the worlds fair at Chicago
instead. From spring until winter, usu-

ers, and it has been the special objective
point of newly-married couples. Josh

It seems that Gov. Pennoyer is
thoroughly aroused over the action of
President Cleveland and intimates that
he will be prime mover in an impeach-
ment trial, before the next regular ses-
sion of congress. The assumption of
Cleveland has evidently brought down
upon that functionary's devoted head
more than the thunderings of the press,
and between his anxiety in the day
time and his coming tribulations
throughout the watches of the night his
peace of mind is destined to undergo a
severe wrench.

False Modesty.

Many good item of news, says the
Kenyon Leader, is lost to the world in
general and slips through the fingers OF
the newsgatherer entirely because SO many
people believe they appear to be thrusting
themselves on public notice when they
volunteer information to reporter of mat
tors relating to themselves. It is not that
the object to it's publicatlon-they prefer
to see it printed, 10 fact, but they will not
inform the reporter themselves, for the
reason above stated. From reportorial
standpoint such people are entirely wrong.
The man who stops the reporter on the
street to tell him that he has been to st.
Paul, that he contem plats building, that he
is going to get married, that his wife had
company, entertained friends last night, or
presented him with son and heir, is con-
sidercd the salt of the earth--and he is, too.
May that class increase and multiply on
the face of the earth is the prayer of all
reporters. And it may be added that tho
little things whish one thinks Of no con-
sequence can frequently be worked up and
utilized to the advantage Of q large class
of readers.
