The following petition is in cireula- ton:
 We the undersigned agree to close our places of business and stores at 6:s0 p. m, except Saturday and pay ear arrivals, to take effect January 15 and continue until September l5.
 This petition is before our business men, not that the clerks and em- plGyes desire to shirk duty on shorter hours Of service, but it originated from the fact that there is scarely no business at all at that hour, and if the men employed could get away then their wives and daughters would not be detained in the kitchen and dining-room until Sand 10 o'clock at night. which under the present ar engagement is necessarily the case.

CORBETT AND MITCHELL.
They May Fight in the Indian Territory.

"l'he managers of Corbett and Mitchell are not yet sure that the Du Val Club will be able to bring off the fight, on account of the opposition of Gov. Mitchell Both parties are new in Florida training, but have q line out fer other rbattle-fields. Thurs day one of the packers of Corbett wired to an attorney at MeAlester te know if the fight could be lawfully brought eff in the Indian Territory. He replied that it could, and the sports of McAlester are quitesure that they will secure the mill, ,' says the Fort Smith News-Record.
 There was a rumor circulated on the streets yesterday that the back CTS of Corbett had given it out that if the fight could bebrought fin the Indian Territory, it would take place near there, but this rumor has not been confirmed.
 At the courthouse, there is d diff l ference of opinion on the subject. Marshal Grump was of the opinion that if the fight was an infract!on of law, it would only bea misdemeanor and therefore under the Muscogee court, and Marshall McAlester would be the only one called upon to inter fere with the mill.
 District Attorney Read was very decided in his opinion that the fight would not take place in the Indian Territory. There was no law specifically prohibiting prize-fighting but that the principals and every spectator could be arrested under the laws against intruders. He thought the Secretary of the Interior would interfere if an attempt was made tt have the contest take place within the Indian Territory.

HARk FROM THE TOMBS.

Conviction of Voters Who Came From New
Yorlx's Doleful Prison.
Three men were convicted in the court
of oyer and terminer on Monday two OF
them pleaded guilty. of the offense of
voting from the Tombs in violation of
section 8 Of article 2 Of the state consti-
tuition, which declares that "no person
shall be deemed to have gained or lost
residence by reason of his presence or
absence while in the service of the Unit
ed States, or while kept in any aims
house or other asylum at public expense,
or while confined in any public prison. -
The case of the defendant Cady, who
was found guilty by a jury, was peculiar.
He had voluntarily resided for seven
years, without commitment for any of,
fense, in the Tombs. He had no other
home. He was not qualified to vote from
any other do1nicile. He registered and
voted from the city prison, from which
he readily obtained egress, and he was
tried and convicted. Judge Barrett an
nounced, however, that he would give a
certificate Of reasonable doubt, so that
the question whether man without a
home, except such as he obtains for him.

tally disfranchised. might be decided by
a higher court. The situation is certain

FIVE of the Minnesota Capitol
Commissioners have just returned
from junketing committee; taking
in DesMoines, Lansing. Michigan,
Pittsburg, Washington. Hartford and
we know not what else. They have
been out to inspect public buildings
for models. The simple fact is that
this is transparent scheme to travel
around and have good time at the
public expense. A year ago, or more
a lot of junketing state senators went
on an identically similar trip, ranging
to the Pacific coast. What came OF it?
What will come of this trip? The
people should set their seal of dis
approval upon such extravaganza in
no uncertain terms. They have no
further use for such officials. They
should receive overwhelming majori-
ties to stay at home in future. Such dis
regard of public interests admits of no
explanations. 1t is simply abuse of
public confidence and should be un-
tremendously condemned. The COM
missioners will advertise for bids
when they are ready to build ten or
twenty years later and architects will
furnish the plans. Even Farmer Ben
could make sllita bile selection from
these.

Setting Typo by Wire.

Donald Murry, a newspaper man of
Sydney, has invented and patented de-
vice by means of which an operator in
New York, with a keyboard before him
like that of an ordinary typewriter, can
not only produce typewriter COPY in
New Orleans, but, it is claimed, can op-
crate a typesetting machine here and
deliver his matter thus in lead ready for
the forms. Not only that, but the same
operator, by using number of telegraph
lines, can set up the same copy simulta-
neously in a dozen different places, In
this operation any ordinary currents are
used, such as are capable of being relay
ed and are subject to all conditions of
ordinary telegraphy. The work can be
done with the same speed as an ordinary
typewriter is operated and dispenses with
all clockwork mechanism, synchronous-
ly moving type wheels and other cum
brous devices. 1t is said to be capable
of manipulating some 80 different char
acters. s.-Press and Printer.

Heavily Insured MOnarchs,

The crowned heads of Europe seem to
take a great deal of stock in life insur-
ance. It is announced that the king of
Portugal has just taken out a $500, 900
policy on his life, but that is an insig-
niticant investment compared with those
of some Of the other potentates. TIE
late Emperor Frederick of Germany was
insured for $4,000,000. The queen re-
gent of Spain has her life insured for a
large amount in behalf of her two little
daughters, following the example of her
husband, whose death mulcted the vari-
ous companies in which he was insured
for So, 100000.
King Leopold of Belgium's life is heav-
lily insured, as is also that of Queen Vic
toria. The queens husband, the late
prince consort, was insured for close up
on $5,000,000, the income of which has
been enjoyed by his widow. About the
only sovereign in Europe who is not in
sured is the czar of Russia, the companies

Death from either starvation or expo
sure in the biting winter weather of south
western Alaska or perhaps suicide as the
only means of avoiding the horrible fate
in store for himself-such is the fate of
M. Gross, Canadian surveyor.
Gross, with four companions, left Fort
Wrangle on the 29th of January, the
party intending to hunt, fish and perhaps
do some prospecting. When they got to
Portage bay, they made permanent camp.
It was early morning, and Gross told his
companions that he intended to dive a
little into the interior and would be back
before night.
He was cautioned against going out
alone, as it was known that he was not
familiar with the surrounding country,
and it was feared that he might get lost
in the woods. He disregarded the ad-
vice Of his companions, however, and at
s 6oSclock the same evening the other
members of the party heard shot in the
brush some few miles distant. They
hailed and by other signs tried to guide
Gross back to camp, but were not sue
cessful. The whole Of the next day was
spent in the search, which had to be final
ly given up.
Gross is said to have been from Vic
toria. He was last year a member of
the Canadian survey party sent up to
Alaska to officially determine the terri
tory's boundary ine.-Seattle Press

SUGAR COATED DEMOCRATS.

The charges connecting mum Der of
Democratic Senators with specializing
in sugar stock have reached that point
where they are little short of a great
national scandal, and it now looks as
though those Democratic Senators
who have not been speculating in su-
gar stock will be compelled in defense
of their own good name to join with
the Republican Senators in ordering
an Investigation. Five Democratic
Senators, two of them mem bers of the
finance committee, are involved in
these scandals. Gossip has it that the
profits of one of these Senators on the
day that it was announced by two
Democrat Senators that an arrange
ment had been made with President
Havemeyer of the sugar trust, who
was at the time in Washington. by
the Democrats of the finance COM
mittee, to protect the sugar trust,
reached the sum of $68.O0O. If these
Democrats are innocent of stock-job-
bing with the sugar clause of the tar
iff bill they should ask for an investi-
cation and establish their innocence.
Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey.
has acknowledged that he bought
1000 shares of sugar stock, but claims
that it was done on an old order given
his brokers and that as soon as he was
notified of it's purchase he directed
that it be at once sold and no more
purchased, and Senator Vest has de-
MED having purchased any. Senator
Price, who is mixed up in the charges,
has said nothing.

The Growler of the jackson Re
public, who by the way, has probably
helped to organize more churches and
build more meeting-houses in Dakota
and Minnesota than any other live
editor, has a singular idea about
preachers. He is quite surprised to
learn that some of them can be bright,
genial, and interesting. Our idea of
religion down this way, Brother Allen,
is that it takes hold OF. the heart and
life, that the man who really expert
ences it's power has within himself a
never failing spring Of satisfaction
and happiness and that genuine
preacher is not obliged to label him
self such by a long face and discon-
solate bearing. This is the kind of
religion and preachers that count in
