DEMOCRACY At THE HELM.

Tomorrow Grover Cleveland will
be inaugurated president of the United
States, and the Democratic party will
regain possession of both the upper
and lower houses of congress This
will be the first time for thirty-two
years that that party has had control
of the administration of national af-
fairs, and the government over which
they assume control is strong in every
regard. In finances it is on an abso-
lutely sound basis, and the industrial
policy pursued has been such that has
opened new avenues of employment
and increased the wages of hread-win-
ners. When the Republicans came in
power in 1861 a giant effort was being
made to dismember the union, human
slavery existed in the southern states
and the national treasury was bank
rupt The party taking the reins of
government under such overwhelming
difficulties bad an herculean task to
perform, but it was equal to the emer-
gency. Rebellion has been suppressed,
slavery abolished and the national
credit established abroad. Prosperity
mar ks every branch of labor and trade,
and the people never had more conf
dence in the permanency of free insti-
tutions. During the past thirty years
great questions of international polity
have been solved, and the result has
been, in every instance, to strengthen
the republic.
The people may again call on the
Republican party in 1896 to take the
administration of affairs. for the vote
of last November was not a well-con-
sidered verdict of the incompetency of
Mr.. Harrison or of his partisans to
manage affairs, hut can be interpreted
in no other manner than simple de-
sire for change. After four years of
trial, without Democracy become
Republicanized, the country will re-
sumo its old attachment for the party
of progrcfs and patriotism. The or
ganiz ltion still possesses the same ele
ments of strength it did in 1861, when
it successfully grappled with secession
and slavery, and will never die while
there is necessity for reformation.
No president was ever inaugurated
under so favorable auspices as Mr..
Cleveland will be tomorrow. Peace
and prosperity in every portion of the
land, and no international entapgle-
ments. This has been accomplished
by the wisdom of Republican states
men, and the record Of the party is q
sufficient refutatien of any charges
which may be made.

To Annex Utah w,,h Nevada

CHEYENNE, Wyo-, March 1.-Senator
Stewards project to annex Utah with
Nevada meets with great favor here so
far as 1t relates to the disappearance of
Utah as q territory. Leading men of
Wyoming have long cherished hope
that the eastern part cf Utah, including
Salt Lake City and Ogden, and much
orchard, pasture, farming and mineral
land might become part of Wyoming.
This claim on behalf of this state will be
advanced and pressed when Senator
Stewart moves with his scheme. Wy
oming and Utah are friendly. Most of
the immigration TO the western part of
this state is from the territory, and there
are several large Mormon settlements in
Wyoming.

SAN FRANCISCO, March John w.
Mackay's condition is not so favorable
this morning. The doctors decided the
wound was healing too rapidly, SO it was
reopened. There was found in the
wound the beginning of pus sac which
might have caused blood poisoning If
uudisturbed. The object of reopening
the wound was to allow it to granulste

Rlppey's condition IS unchanged.

some quarters to conclude all the serious
silver agitation. American stocks inn

ending the hopes that England will ac-
cede TO a renewal of bimetallist negotia-
tions. Business today was quiet and

were made to taper at each end. They
were curved on one face and fat on the
other and sharp at the edges You
would have said great pains had been
taken to shape those sticks so that it
would be impossible for anybody 70
throw them straight or make them hit
any object they were thrown at.
Each black man held his dark, heavy
looking wooden weapon with the fat
side down, until he had finished his
balancing and calculating, and then he
suddenly drew back and hurled it from
him with a peculiar jerking twist of his
wrist. Almost at the same moment
each of them stopped and picked anoth-
er and threw it, and then . third. As
the third cast was made, each uttered
a loud, scrceching yell, the two harsh
cries bursting forth at almost the same
second, followed by wells from all the
rest of the party as they sprang from
the grass, seized their spears and sticks
and bounded forward.
Ned and Hugh had noted every move
ment of the green mask by the palm,
and the kangarOos also must have be-
gun TO suspect danger, for all Of them
had ceased feeding, sat upright, and
priclled their ears and turned their
pretty heads inquiringly. The largest
of them was in the very act of rising
for forward bound when something
struck him upon the neck, just above
the shoulder.
There had been faint whizzing and
whirring in the air. 1t began behind the
cabbage palm and went out sidewise
and upward through the air, while
something dimly visible flashed away
in wide sweeping curve. Up, up, up
went the whiz and whirl, and then
down, down, after strange, mysteri-
GUS fashion, closely accompanied by
another just like it. Then there was a
thud, thud-and the great kangaroo
did not make his leap. He rolled over
and over in the grass, for one of those
wonderful missiles had actually broken
his neck. And another kangaroo had
fallen also.-W. o. Stoddard, in st.

A SHOWER Or sLAUk RAIN.
Examination Proved 1t TO Have FetId
Smell and Bad Taste.


The meteorological records of the
world chronicle several incontestible
instances of black rainfalls, TO say moth
ing of the more startling phenomena of
"sho Hers of blood, blue SHOWS" etc.
Prof. F~rker in April, 1915, laid before
the Royal society of Dublin some OBJ
scrvations on shower of black rain
which fell around Carlaw and Kilkenny,
extending altogether over an area of
about four hundred square miles.
During the course of his lecture Prof.
Barker exhibited to the so .icty a spcci-
men of this uncanny shower which had
been sent him by friend. The speci-
men shown in the vial was Of q uniform
black color, much resembling common
black writing fluid. DR.. Barker found,
however, that, after allowing it to stanl
for a short period, the black coloring
matter separated from the water with
which it had mixed, rendering the color
of the rainwatcr much lighter, but still
dark enough u be called "blucli rain"
The shower, which was in broad day
light, was preceded by a darkness so
dense rs to make it impossible for one
to read without the aid Of a candle
After this darkness had continued for
some time, hailstorm set in, attended
with vivid lightning, but without the
least scmbllnce of thunder. When this
hailstOrm was over the black rain be-
gan to fall.
On examination of the rain immedi-
ately after the storm was over it was
found 10 have an extremely fctid smell,
as well as n very disagrceablc taste, All
light. colorcl animals and all articles of
clothing exposed bore dark spots and
stains, and cattle refused 70 drink the
water or eat the grass until after a
shower of real rain" had washed off
the black, poisoning matter.

1t Was Thrown Over Serpent's Head
just In Time.
The travelerin the uncivilized regions
of South America has to face many
perils. If he escapes the savages, who
are adroit and bitter enemies; if he can
secure water and food, and survive the
intense heat, and believes his eXpedi-
ton has every chance of success, he
may die within an hour from the bite
of poisonous serpent, says Youths
Companion.
NJ. Thouar, in his diary, kept during
his explorations in the Pilcomayo delts
under "A commission from the Argentine
government, describes an experience
which prompted him to eternal vigil
lance in regard to snakes.
He was lying in his hammock; the
sergeant of his guard was asleep under
a tree close by. Suddenly he noticed
an immense serpent coiled about the
sergeant's leg and extending its head
toward his bare chest.
What should he do? To wake the
man meant certain death TO him; but
how to kill the creature or attract it
away without waking him? He re-
called method of capturing the cobra

over it and drew it tight around the

A TERRIBLE WEAPON.
Kangaroo Hunting with the Boomerang
in the Australian bush.

In the Australian bush.
The black man watched the kanga-
roos intently for moment, and he
seemed to be taking kind of measure
ment of their distance from the foot of
the palm. Then he drew back, and a
second black man took his turn a look
ing, with the bush branches for n
screen, and he also drew back. He put
down the twigs, and the two seemed to
be studying. Two men who could
neither count nor measure as civilized
men count and measure, were in reality
counting and measuring as accurately
as II they had been pair of surveyors
with perfect Instruments. They haG
dropped their spears and sticks before
peeping out at the kangaroos, and now
each of them stopped and picked up 4
queer crook club. All the other black
men lay fat in the grass while these
two went on with their pulling opera
tions. Neither of them could see any
part of a kangaroo through the trunk
of the tree. Each stood and balanced
himself, leaning forward, with his bit
of curved wood held in his right hand
by one end These crooked sticks were
not much over two feet long, perhaps
not more than two or three inches wide
at the center, the widest part, and
