Choiera in This Country.

CUMBERLAND, Nd. Sept. 5.-John P.
Walther was taken from an emigrant
train today, suffering with what ap-
peared to be a well developed case of
cholera. He was isolated in a house
outside the city limits and the other
occupants of the car were locked In the
coach and forwarded to Pittsburg. The
unfortunate man died in great agony
this evening. Walther and his fellow
passengers arrived at New York yester-
day, in the North German Lloyd steam
ship Elbe. from Bremen. One of the
passengers says that Walther was at
tackled with severe pains and vomiting
two days before the vessel arrived, but
that the ships surgeon gave him medi-
cine which braced him up sufficiently to
pass inspection at New York. The au-
thorities telegraphed the Pittsburg Off
cials to intercept and quarantine the car.
City Health Officer Duke and DIR. Ohr,
who has been through an epidemic OF
cholera, are positive that Walther's was
bone fide case of cholera, but are uR-
decided as to wheteher it was sporadic
case or of Asiatic nature. There is great
excitement in Cumberland tonight over
the discovery.

FUNNY WAYS OF MEN.
"A Woman, on Behalf of Her Sex, Asks
Some UnanswerabIe Questions.

"A Woman, on Behalf of Her Sex, Asks
Some UnanswerabIe Questions.
The little peculiarities of women are
a fruitful topic with some masculine
writers. They continually rush into
print with such questions as: Why
does woman always want to know if
her hat is on straight? Why does she
keep you waiting ten minutes after
she's declared she's all ready? Why
does she this, that and the other?
Here's counter blast from woman
writer in the New York Journal Why
does a man always have heightened
and often profane interviews with
his collar button? 1t looks like an
inoffensive sort of an article to an
outsider. Why does he rush through
his dressing and throw every thing all
over the room, because he's in such
hurry-he ''knows he'll be late"-and
then spend a good five minutes filing
and lighting his pipe? Why does he
never put together and fold up news
paper? Why, when a pretty girl
praises another mans charming man
ners,' does he say the girl is ''soft?''
Why does he declare that handsome
and popular young actors are 'ssticks?'
Why can he never, by any possibility,
find anything he is sent to look for in
closet or drawer? Why is his headache
or toothache so much worse than any
body else's ever was? Why is it always
his liver that does not work, instead of
the Welsh rarebit and mince pie that
have worked? Why will he go out after
a rain without overshoeS and then
preach about the vanity of women?
Why does it rain too hard to go to
church, but not too hard to go to din
ner or theater or club on any succeed
ing stormy day? Why does he suppose,
when he notes women's funny ways"
that women are not at the Same time
noticing his own funny ways?

DANGER NOT YET OVER
Three Towns Surrounded by
Fierce Fires.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN SENT AWAY
Refugees From Hinckley and Sandstone
at Duluth Meeting to Be
Held at Pine city.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 5.-Reports
from the north are to the effect that
Carlton, Kerrick and Barnum are in
danger. Fierce fires now surround these
places, and SO dense is the smoke it is
impossible to see across the street. De-
tails are hard to get, as wires are down.
A report was current in this city today
that Barnum had been destroyed, but it
has been impossible to confirm the re-
port. The men of Kerrick sent the
women and children to West Superior
and Duluth for safety, and remained to
fight the fire.
Subscriptions for the fire sufferers
jumped up rapidly today. The first one
come from President James ]. Hill, OF
the Great Northern railway, and was for
$4,000. Accompanying this was another
for $4,000 from President Hill's associates
in the Great Northern. Altogether the
money contributions will aggregate
about $25 900. Minneapolis has already
raised 1000, and is rapidly increasing
the amount, and Duluth has fund Of
$40 OOO

BLEACHING DIAMONDS.

Trick by Which South African Dealers
Deceive Patrons.
The discovery of diamonds in South
Africa led indirectly to some clever de-
ceit by the dealers, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. Many of the South African
diamonds have straw TINT, which has
an unfavorable effect on their price,
especially as experts believe it will be-
come more decided the longer the
stones are exposed to the air. Some
of the more knowing dealers discov-
cred that by subjecting the straw
tinted diamonds to bath of certain
acids the objectionable color was re-
moved and the gems become pure
white. A number of diamonds SO
treated were sold in Paris and Berlin.
and brought higher prices than they
would if they had retained their origi-
nal color.
After exposure to the action of the
air for certain time the original color
returns, but by that time they have
passed out of the dealers hands. The
fraud was soon found out by the trade,
and they now guard against imposi-
tions of such a character by means of
various tests. OF these the. most gen
orally used are the hot water bath or
friction. If dyed stone be left in hot
water a few minutes it resumes it's or
iginal hue; or, if the gem be rubbed
sharply on towel, or even on the
coat sleeve, its normal color can be de-
tected. These tests are simple and
efficacious and are in daily use.

La Grippe.

During the prevalence of the grippe
the past seasons it was noticeable fact
chat those who depended upon DR..
Kings New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all of the
troublesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured
cases of asthma and hay fever of long
standing. Try it and be convinced. It
won't disappoint. Free trial bottles at

AN EeYPTIAN CUSTOM.
It Mystified HerodOtus. But Modern Inves-
tIgation Fully Explains 1t.

1t Mystified HerodOtus. But Modern InVes-
tIgation Fully Explains 1t.
More than one thousand years ago
Herodotus observed remarkable Gus
tom in Egypt, says Prof. Drummond.
At certain season of the year. says
the Washington Post, the Egyptians
went into the desert, cut off branches
from the wild palm, and, bringing them
back to their gardens, waved them
over the flowers of the date palm. Why
they performed this ceremony they did
not know, but they knew that if they
neglected it the date crop would be
poor or wholly lost.
Herodotus offers the quaint explana-
nation that along with these branches
there came from the desert certain flies
possessed of S'vivif1c virtue, which
somehow lent an exuberant fertility to
the dates. But the true rationale to
the incantatlon is now explained
Palm trees, like human beings. are
male and female. The garden plants,
the date bearers, were females. the
desert plants were males, and the wav-
ing of the branches over the females
meant the transference of the fertiliz-
ing pollen from one to the other.

Nevada silver Party's Ticket.

CARSON, New, Sept. 5.-At the open
ing of the silver party's state conVen-
tion today, the announcement that Sen
ator Jones had withdrawn from the
republican party was greeted with ap-
plause. The convention unanimously
nominated F. G. Newlands for congress.
The platform adopted denies the right
of the government to. restrict the coin
age of gold and silver at ratio of 16 to
l; demands the abolition of national
banks, the collection of the Pacific rail-
road debt, and the government owner
ship of telegraph and railroads.

Destitute People OF Hinckley.

DULUTH, Sept. 5.-There are over 1000
destitute refugees from Hinckley and
Sandstone fires now in Duluth Over
$4,000 has been raised for relief and food.
Clothing and lumber are being donated
literally. The relief society yesterday
sent 100 unfortunates to friends and rela-
tives in other cities. One sad feature of
the catastrophe is the large number of
bcattle, horses, sheep and hogs, as well as
fowls, that miraculously escaped the
flames, and are now slowly dying from
hunger

40 Fear For Dubois.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Senator Du-
bois, of Idaho, would not be questioned
today concerning the action of Senator
Jones of Nevada, in leaving the repub-
lican party, except 70 say that any re-
ports concerning similar move on his
part had no foundation. He leaves for
tho West tonight. He regretted the
action of Senator Jones and expressed
the belief that silver interests would be
best subserved by remaining in the re-
publican party

Ashante SACRIFICES.

The most savage and horrible OF al l
the barbarous customs of the Ashantes
in Africa says Prof. w. G. Steadnan,
of Washington, is that of celebrating
the death of king or great noble by
a sacrifice of other lives; indeed, al
most all of their anniversary rites are
attended by holocaust of human be-
ings. They believe that when king
or a noble dies he must have wives and
slaves in the next world, just as he had
in this, and in order that these may
not be wanting, the simple expedient
is resorted to of killing his wives and
slaves and sending them after him.
Rude and bloody ceremonies mark the
practice of this custom, which are CON
tinued for about a week Strange to
say, numerous volunteers are always
found who are not only ready, but
anxious, to be offered up in honor of a
dead king
