THE LOST IS FOUND.
After Thirty Seven Years Of Sspa'
ration Brothers Meet.

One of the most interesting cases
where the extremely unlikely hap
pened was recorded by T. n. Stateler,
general agent of the Northern Pacific
passenger department at San Fran
cisco, at the office OF General Passen-
ger Agent Fee. Thirty-seven years
ago he and his brother parted, be-
came lost in the shuttle during the
war, and until a few days ago each
thought the other dead. Both broth
ers lived in Minnesota since the war
until four years ago, when I. X.
Stateler accepted his present posi-
ton in San Francisco. The sad
feature Of the affair is that when he
heard Of his brother from a friend a
few days ago it was to learn that he
was dying. Immediately he fastened
to Minnesota, and when in the city
was en- route TO Clarissa, where his
brother lies dying. When seen by a
reporter he related the following
story
There were three brothers of us,
Martin V. being the eldest. | was
the next, and my brother Erastus was
the youngest. My younger brother
enlisted in 1861 in the Fourth Mis-
souri, Infantry. My brother Martin
enlisted in 1868 in the Hundred-and
thirteenth Illinois Infantry. My
youngest brother served until Febru-
airy or March, 1862, when he died at
st. Joseph, Mo. | found him just
after my enlistment, which was Feb
ruary 2, 1862, just in time to bury
him.
AT the time Of my enlistment
was in correspondence with my elder
brother, who had gone east in 1851.
Such correspondence was continued
until his enlistment and capture,
which occurred some time in the lat
ter part Of 1868. After his capture
our correspondence ceased. | never
heard from him from that time until
the early part Of this January. He
lies now very sick with the dropsy at
Clarissa, MINI.
The very peculiar part of it is the
fact that he lived in Minnesota from
1870 up to the present time, and |
form 1870 to 1888, at which time |
left for San Francisco. am now on
my way to see him, and hope to find
him alive. "-[St. Paul Pioneer Press.

TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.
Proper Regulations Will Wipe Out

DIR. IL. Nj. Biggs, i'm an article on

ton is comparatively rare among
those who live an outdoor life under
normal and healthy conditions. For
every 1000 deaths from all causes
lob farmers die of pulmonary tuber-
culosis, los fishermen, l2l gardeners,
l22 agricultural laborers, 1877 grocers,

printers and compositors, 46l-or
nearly 30 per cent. of all-result

The duties of State, municipal and
sanitary authorities in this matter
are clear and specific. Comprehen-
sive and efficient means should be at
once taken for the prevention Of
tuberculosis. These means should
consist in educating the people rs to
the infectious nature OF the disease;

the sputum alone, i'm some way is the
source Of danger; and common sense,
good sanitation, humanity, and even
the requirements of simple cleanli-
ness, demand that this should be
destroyed or rendered harmless. DR..
Lawrence Flick, Of Philadelphia, who
has studied this subject carefully,
has expressed the firm conviction that
with u present knowledge We have

A Chinese Sandow.

A Hankow correspondent Of the
San Francisco Chronicle gives an
account OF the discovery OF a young
Samson i'm the militia examinations.
There were about 900 candidates, OF
whom sixty-three obtained the degree
OF promoted men. They are tried in
archery, lifting, sword and spear ex-
e%rcise, etc, also in writing. The senior
wrangler was u young man twenty
two years OF age, from kinhua. His
particular success was in lifting, and
his strength is estimated mt 800 cat
ties (the catty is about u pounds),
though really they say il is only 600
c~atties. This is tested by lifting "A
square stone OF 300 catties weight as
high IA the breast. This man not
only lifted il TO that height, but gave
il u little toss up and caught il IA il
came down.
The Governor w0s astonished and
asked him TO repeat the feat. The
young man, supposing that he was
suspected Of having some secret help,
threw of his coat, exposing his bare
body, and repeated the feat TO the
entire satisfaction Of the Judges.
Though in archery and other pie,c-
tices his skill was not conspicuous,
he was awarded the first place on the
list Of the successful candidates, and
the Governor did him the honor Of
asking who had been his teacher and
trainer. He replied that il was his
father, who was himself "a military
officer and had served at Ningpo and
elsewhere.

Fish in q Cistern.

At the residence of y. VI. Hedges,
on Keokuk street, there is a large,
unused cistern. About two years ago
it was cleared out by the Messrs.
Hedges and then closed, since which
time it has not been opened, except
on one or two occasions.
There are no outlets TO the cistern
and no one has access to it and no
one has opened il. Recently when
it was emptied and cleaned Mr..
Hedges vas surprised to find two
lively fishes, each about seven inches
in length, in the bottom Of the els
tern. They closely resembled carp
in shape. but they are nearly black
in color.
None OF the family can account for
the presence OF the finny strangers.
and Mr.. Hedges has arrived at the
conclusion that they were not placed
there at all. but Just grswed."

power of this republic to re.establish a
monarchy in Hawaii. They have
grasped the fact even in those remote
islands that he has had enough Of that.
Their petition now is like that of
the heather who got in close quar- ters
with bear, and prayed to his god for
help, saying: "It ever you mean to
help me, help me now But if you
don't help me, don't help the BEAR Just
you lay low, and you'll see one of the
purtiest, toughest fights that ever you
saw Tho ex.queen's friends want
this government to withhold its sup
port. moral and physical. from the
present rulers Of Hawaii. to withdraw
its marines and promise not to land
them again. In that case they promise
to 20 back and start civil war, which
will wipe the Dole government out of
existence, and set up the ex queen as
the president of new republic.
