after he had wounded deer and lost

and must have dog; SO he took DIS
dog by the collar and snaked him over
the hill with all four feet set. and the
special courier from the vile said the

Ed. Register.-Since my last com
munication was written. sorghum
making has been completed. Com
plants Of unusually poor yields OF syr
up have been heard from all sections
of this and adjoining counties. Early
and long-continued droughts were the
direct cause thereof.
Wheat-sowing has also been finished.
Comparatively little of that cereal
was sown hereabouts; for-as a rule
the yield has, for several years past,
been unremunerative; though a few
farmers of this neighborhood say their
wheat-crop was usually good the past
season.
The past month has, with us, been
an unusually dry one. AS natural
| consequence. the range and pastures
have not afforded the abundant food
for stock that it is usual for them to
supply during October.
On the other hand the dry weather
enabled farmers to stack, or otherwise
store away, fodder in frst-class condi-
ton and the maturity of corn was
very much fastened; consequently at
least one-halt the corn-crop of this en-
tire section has already been cribbed.
been far from satisfactory. This fact,
coupled with the almost unprecedent-
ed scarcity of good clean hay is enough
to make farmers do their utmost to
avoid unnecessary waste; for most of
them have not the means to purchase
more feed from the few who fortunate
ly have some to SELL Nor is this
consequence of shiftlessness on the
part of the many, but chiefly the re-
suit of their being unable to dispose of
their surplus horses and mules.

UNKNOWN LANDS.

Or. Frederick A.. Cook, in the Forum.
A large library of Arctic literature
has appeared, and to-day there is
hardly a school boy of fifteen who
does not know at least something of
Australia. But the south Polar
regions are yet unexplored. At any
rate, nc n ever saw a native being
within the Antarctic circle. We are
led to believe, from what is known,
that the land of the south pole is
indeed an icy desert, a collection of
volcanic islands capped with never
melting snow, ce-bound and inhos-
pitable shores are washed by mad
seas from seasons beginning to
seasons end. Yet there is an esti-
mated area of some 5000, 900 square
miles of land, water and ice
one-sixth of the entire surface of the
globe-surrounding the south pole, a
territory untrodden and UNEMPLOYED
by man!
While l scarcely expect to find a
strange and isolated tribe of men IN
the new continent, yet their existence
is by no ean improbable. For
aught we know, the Antarctic may
possess valuable minerals and preci-
Gus stones. AS to practical utility
along certain lines the most I'M
checked imagination cannot hope
that the southern continent will ever
become what Greenland is fast
becoming-a possible pleasure resort.
Fifty years ago the idea of any man
taking a party of pleasure seekers
on a summers jaunt to the north
would have been laughed at. And
do not predict any such wonderful
things for the south. But the benefits
to pure science of a compaign over
the southern continent, carefully
planned and carried out, are inesti-
noble. Not only would many
entirely new branches of science il
all probability be opened up, but the
standard sciences would be enriched
A knowledge of the meteorologica
conditions in Antarctic is needed tC
solve the weather problem of the
world. The theory of the earth'l
magnetism awaits confirmation o.
rejection according as the facts o
the south may be found in thi'
regard. Geography, geology, botany
biology-not a science is there OF
which we cannot obtain new light
1t is to the south that the eager eye
of science ought to be directed.

Even the clearest and most per-

fore ought to be received with
great caution. Take the case of

find she did it with a knife; but
il you take simply the aspect of
the pencil, you will say she did it
with her teeth.

CLAIMS.

GOV EkN CLAIMS.
The cain for fifteen million dol
lars filed against the Stanford estate
by Attorney General Olney as a pre-
liminary step to force the govern
ment's claim against the original
holders of tho Central Pacific grant,
has caused excitement in California.
The governments claim was pre-
scented May 20, and an attempt to
keep the proceeding secret that the
financial operations of the estate
need not be embarrassed.
The late Senator Stanford's estste
was recently appraised at 17ls mil
lions. Since the a|ppraisement heavy
obligations have been met and it is
stated now that the enforcement of
the government claim would practi-
cally wipe out the estate, not only
leaving the widow penniless, but
cutting off all the beneficiaries under
the late senator 3 will, including the
endowment of o. millions to the
Stanford University. 1t is even said
that the estate, after the liquidation
of its acknowledged debts may not
equal the amount claimed by the
government.
In the senate the lIoar resolution
as to rclinquishing the government
claims against the Stanford estate
was. after discussion, laid on the
table. Yeas "a, nays 10.

PERMANENTLY INVESTED.

From the Golden Rule.
1t is said in Kate Fields Washing
ton that "the following story from a
western correspondent Ia good
enough to be true whether it is or
not.n
The old man Bolivar was already
established in Utah when the saints
reached Salt Lake. He vas well-to-
do, and had a reputation for honesty
which was a fortune in itself in those
days of pioneer uncertainty. Pretty
soon the Mormons began to look
around for a place to bank their
wads, when some one suggested old
Bolivar on the island. The saints
kept on depositing Sin the name of
the Lord'' until a good deal Of their
stuff was in the hands Of their chosen
banker. All went smoothly until
some of them wanted to draw out
then the trouble began.
"Stuff's here" says Bolivar, "all
right enough, but we've got to hev
this here business ez straight ez er
string. Thet moneys all deposited
sin the name er the Lord, and Their
can't nobody git it out onless they
hev an order signed by the proper
party"
The news of this decision made it
prudent for old Bolivar to move to
California, which he accomplished
before the run on the bank began.

WOULD NOT REPEAL THE TAX.

| NOT REPEAL THE IAN.
The house of representatives voted
lO2 to l72 not to repeal the state
bank tax. The Affirmative vote was
entirely democratic. The negative
was east by IS republicans, 70 demo-
Gratis and 8 populists.
The banking authorities in con-
gress regard the defeat of the
measure as significant of the future
of banking and currency in the
United States. 1t is said to establish
as a linality that state bank currency
will eve be revived, and that if
any change is made from the present
system of national banks it will be by
a n~ationaliAed currency, This con
struction of the vote is arrived at by
a careful analysis of the sectional
character of the vote. OF the
northern democrats only eight voted
to repeal the taxation on state
banks-Calitornia 2, Illinois 1, In
diana |, Ohio /, New York 3. All
the other northern democrats voted
against repeal. Added to this oppo-
sition vas the solid republican vote,
south as well as north. Even the
culorrd republicans from South
Carolina voted against repeal. Eight
southern democrats also voted against
rcpcal-Maryland 4, Delaware 1,
West Virginia 2 and Missouri 2.
Cobb and Tarsney.
AS thus analysed the vote shows
three distinct elements against state
banks, northern and southern repub-
Leans, northern democrats and scat
tcring southern democrats. A singular
feature of the votes is that there
were more southern votes against
the measure than northern votes fol
it,, The conclusion reached from the
analysis is that the opposition tC
state banks is certain without refer
cnce to the party in that asccndency
Representative Springer (chair-
mani will call together the house
banking and currency committee al
an early day to consider the next
step ON the banking question, now

Martin would have Insured him a
unanimous nomination. The fight
oyer second place was warm and the
ultimate selection of Troutman, who
has been a pronounced temperance
advocate, was a surprise to all but
the knowing ones. The financial
plank is as follows:
The American people favor bimetallism
and the republican party demands the
use OF both gold and silver rs standard
money, with such restrictions and under
such provisions, to be determined by
Legislation, las will secure the maintenance
OF the parity Of values Of the two metals
and that the purchasing and debt paying
power OF the dollar, whether OF gold, sill
yer or paper shall at all times be equal. The
interests OF the producers Of the country,
its farmers and its working men demand
that the mints he opened to the coinage
of the silver of the mines of the United
States and that should enact Il
law lcvying tax on impurtations OF Tor
pign silver sufficient to fully protect the
