From Elma Eagle.
TT. Slater, the shinge man from Sum
init, was in the city Wednesday. He in
forms the Eagle man that his mill will
start up about the first of the month with
a full crew. He thinks there will be a
large demand for the Washington product
the coming season, and that prices will
improve.
The Elma Hotel was in great danger of
burning down one day this week. 1t
seems that II. J. Bum. the proprietor,
kindled fire in one OF the stoves that
had not been used for some time, and
having occasion to leave for short time,
came back just in time to extinguish fire
that had gained considerable Roadway in
the floor under the stove.
Prof. r. T. Campbell, of Aberdeen, who
,eci.es James Whitcomb Riley's Hoosier
dialect poems great deal better than
Mr. Riley can, will spend the evening Of
Tuesday with the people OF Elma at the
Methodist church. All who heard Mr..
Riley-the professor, we mean-when he
was here before, will 60 and hear him
again, and those who have never heard
him will miss rare treat il they do not
attend.

From Hoquiam Washingtonian:
1t is rumored that the Slade mill will
soon put on an additional force and run
their mill day and night. That's business.
Wilson Bennifeld, OF East Portland,
has been in town this week, visiting old
friends and familiar scenes of six years
ago, when he was here. He now has
charge of one OF the large cemeteries Of
East Portland.
The Hoquiam river was alive with
shipping on Monday, there being within
sight the steamers Montesano, Clan Nc
Donald, Josie Burrows, Typhoon, Thistle
and Toiwo; steam tugs Traveller, Printer,
Columbia, Coleman and Title; steam
schooner Cosmopolis and schooners Eva,

From Elma Chronicle:

From Elma Chronicle:
William and Bob Frasier, who recently
purchased some tall timber above Dan
Gillies' upper logging camp, went up
there the middle of the week to COM
mence making logs Of the same.
We understand that w. ID. Mack is try
ing to make arrangements to open his
logging camp just west Of town, and
rendered the foremanship of the camp to
an Elma gentleman.
The recent floods in the Chehalis took
out the bridge up the river about six
miles from Oakvile. 1t was put in about
u year ago by Thurston county, at an
expense of $4,000. There are only two
wagon bridges left now between Centralia
and the harbor.

stream. Moreover, about 100 years ago,
there arose ana spread about through all
the land a prophecy that at certain
time the sanctity of the Ganges itself
should be transferred to the Nerbudda
and the latter become supreme.
The date, explicitly stated in the
prophecy, for which wide oredence was
obtained, was the year 1894 AS that date
drew nearer and nearer, belief. or at any
rate expectancy, grew steadily stron ger.
At the present time the tension is almost
indescribable Why the change is TO oc-
cur no one can tell; nor yet how IL is to
be manifested. whether by some stupen-
dous Cataclysm OF nature, or by revolu-
ton OF religious sentiment. Nor are there
lacking. especially among the innumera-
Gangetic shriues, many who dispute the
correctness of of the prophecy. Yet there
is to-day such state of general unrest,
speculation and anxiety as has not been
known in India for generations
Whether any movement of tangible
form will grow out Of II is an interesting
question The major influence of the
priesthood is, naturally enough, against
any such change as that prophosied. The
vast business, social and political inter
ests of Oudh and Bengal, and Of Raipoo-
tana aud the Pun. aub, are also opposed
to it. On the other hand, Scindia, Berar,
Mysore Hyderabad and all the peoples of
the Deccan may be supposed to favor it.
They have not forgotten the mastery of
the Mahrattas over the Moguls, and they
may yet cherish the notion that what
was once done may be done again. At
any rate, there is fair chance of the
next few months seeing In India some
important movements, which, while they
may not menace British rule, may power
fully affect the religious and social condi-
ton OF the natives.

insects, and that one of their metamor-
phoses must be passed in the soil before
the change which makes them dangerous
to human beings shall have come. But
this is pure speculation and need not be
pursued further
The matter of interest to every man and
woman when we reflect upon the plague
in China is whether it may come to US
along the great trans-Pacifc routes This
question may be answered in the mega
tive; there is little danger of the germs
coming, and if they did come there is no
danger that they would find Judgment
and spread.
Quarantine, which properly includes
the work of preventing the germs of dis
ease starting from an infected place, has
in these days been brought TO such
pitch of perfection that such germs may
be kept at home Instructions have been
sent to all United States consuls abroad
which contain exact directions what they
are to do. We're the plague to reach the
ports in China from which the steam
ships sail measures to disinfect all merch-
andize would be taken al once. Passen-
gers would be isolated under the rules in
such cases during the period of incuba
ton of the disease, and such other pre-
cautions as might be considered necessary
would be taken.

passage across the Pacific takes from
twenty-one to thirty days, according to
the route chosen. The period of incuba-
tion of the plague is from two to seven
days. Ali observers are agreed the latter
is the maximum. 1t would, therefore, be
impossible for any person to embark in
the steamer with the germs of the plague
in him and not develop the disease before
he reached port
If a steamer came into San Francisco
with a record of deaths from the plague
on board, the health officer of the port
would put the vessel into the most rigid
quarantine, and 1t is safe to say the
germs would not escape. The merchan-
disc on board would be disinfected-pr
badly by means of intense heat, as this
is the most absolutely certain way-and
such of it as could not be so treated would
be destroyed.
But if the germs got through this sec
ond line of defences the board of health
of San Francisco would take the disease
in hand and stamp it out

MEDICINE MAN BLINDS H1MsELF

From the New York Press,

From the New York Press.
Gray Whirlwind, the medicine man of
the Sioux Indians exhibiting at Coney
Island, got sand in his eye few days ago.
Washing and rubbing failed to get it out.
He went to Chambers drug store and
DIR. Chambers tried to clean the eye, but
1t got worse. Yesterday Gray Whirl-
wind concluded to prescribe for himself.
He went to the kitchen in the camp and
got from Jesus CARO-, the Mexican who
cooks for the Indians, some cayenne pep
per, pulveriLed scrub soap, and butter
He mixed these ingredients with chewing
tobacco, and applied the mixture TO his
eyes as poultice.
He sat with this stuff on his eyes an
hour or two until Kent Thomas. the man
ager OF the snow, took it of. The sight
was gone from the eye first affected and
the sight of the other one was nearly de-
stroyed. Thomas. sent word to Agent G.

interior, who has charge Of Indian affairs
hereabouts, and he sent DR. l.. J. Quinlah

Ganges, and a Religious War Result
TherefromP
From the New York Tribune
The recent alarm of impending revolu-
ton in British India had ludicrous end
ing. 1t was observed that the trunks of
many trees, especially mangoes, were
smeared with mud mixed with cow hair.
Men of authority, well versed in Hindu
lore, declared the marks TO be a popular
summons to Instruction They pictured
the stoalthy emissaries of revolt gliding
from tree to tree at midnight, placing
upon the trunks the daubs Of mud and
hair of a sacred COW, which should serve
as a fiery cross to rouse the millions of
Hindu worshipers to another and greater
mutiny. But presently some one discOv-
cred that the sacred but surely non
mutinous COW was herself the cause of
the trouble; which, first lying or wallow-
ing in the mud, rubbed her sides, as is
the won't Of cattle against the tree trunks
and thus placed thereon the dreadful
tokens.
Another and real cause, II not OF dis
quiet, at least Of thoughtful interest, is,
however, found in India to-day, which
may portend nothing less than a religious
revolution. For ages the river Ganges
has been accounted a sacred stream. Its

Yet the Gauges has had a rival, II never
yet a successful at least potential one.
That rival is the Nerbudda, the mighty
stream which, rising In Gundwana, flows
westward along the northern border Of
the Deccan 10 the Arabian sea. There is

HOw's This?

During the temporary lull in politics,
a dull week in business, and far from
full season of local news, we have been
looking over the country through the
newspapers, and find several things to
interest US and the farmers especially.
In the first place, over in Russia to-day
forty.fve pounds of corn are worth
only a cent and a half, and "many
farmers are sending their cattle into
the fields, as the cost of harvesting
would exceed the price of the corn.'
Leaving Russia and coming back to
the fields of our own country, we find
that the farmers of Indiana are feeding
wheat to their hogs and selling corn
for the first time in the history of the
State, wheat bringing forty-three cents
q busheI and corn forty.five to forty
seven cents. Commenting on the fact
that corn is bringing higher prices
than wheat in some Of the Western
markets, with possibility that it will
"rule higher all the season." an ex-
change says that farmers in South
Carolina who have grown large crops
will have no reason to regret their
action in any event, as full cribs will
pay better than full gin houses with
cotton at current and promised prices.

Eoiled in Their Plans.

When Mrs. Sparks opened the door
in response to a knock one night last
week at her home in Helena, she found
a negro man there who asked her to
change five dollars. Mrs. Sparks told
him she had no money. Mr.. Sparks
heard the conversation and be got his
gun and went to the door, and saw
another negro dodge under the house.
He asked the negro at the door if he
did not have companion who had
gone under the house. The negro told
Mr.. Sparks to give him the gun and he
would see if there was man under the
house.
Mr.. Sparks didn't give him the gun,
but sent the negro totell MIR. w. w.
Fulmer, who lives next door, to come
over at once. The negro delivered the
message, and made himself scarce in
that vicinity. When Mr.. Fulnier got
there the other negro had also made
his escape.
The negroes were no doubt intent on
robbery, but had the wind taken out
of their sails by the reception they re-
ceiVed.
