After explanations from Hendricks
of the abduction which elected IN
bounded admiration from the doctor,
they proceeded to the rooms that had
been set apart for Miss Endicott.
Hendricks, it should be stated, had
provided his retreat with several ne
gro servants. They had their own
quarters and several of them were
women. one of whom had been as
signed to take care of Miss Endicott.
They found the young woman sitting
in chair in a normal condition and

open. There was a common wheel

'.Sit down here for a moment" said
the doctor, land look at the wheel
She obeyed him. The almost har-
monte buzz of the great iron circle was
not unpleasant. She looked at the
swiftIy-revolvirg mass with slight in
tercst. The doctor stepped back and
waited. Hendricks had remained be-
hind. There was something in the
motion that kept her gaze steadily
fixed. Five minutes passed. Her
eyes lost their stare. The doctor
stepped softly up, looked into her
face, picked up her hand and let it fall
limp upon her lap. Then he beckoned
to Hendricks.

When she was once more in the room
from which the doctor had taken her,
Hendricks watched the proceedings
with interest, but without the awe
which this phenomenon inspires in
some minds.
''Have you got the hair?" asked the
doctor.
Hendricks handed him the packet
and 81: down cxcccta1tly. The doc
tor took some of the dark locks and
put them in the hand of the girl. Her
fingers closed over them. She stared
into vacancy. Her mouth twitched at
the corners. Her face was rigid.

doctor asked.
An audible murmur came from the
girl She leaned slightly forward.
''Oh, there are SO many nep," she said
in plaintive monotone.

who sprang to catch her, found both

clasped the hair and he could not ex-
tricate it from her fingers.

restoratives over her. Hendricks

a MOUNTAIN ExPLODES.
The Noise Heard 900 Miles Away-Three
Villages and 500 People Buried.

The Noise Heard 900 Miles Away-Three
villages and 500 People Buried.
Previous to July Is. 1888, Mount Ban
dial, a time-cleft peak, four thousand
eight hundred and ninety-nine feet in
height, was the most conspicuous OBJ
iect in the mountain range lying from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
miles north of Toxic, the chief city of
Japan. On the day mentioned it was
literally rent in twain" by the expan-
sive power of steam which had gener-
ated withinit. From the earliest times
of which there is any record streams of
cold water had been plunging under
the peak on one side, and escaping in
the shape of steam and boiling hot
water on the other. That the escape
valve was not sufficient to let off all
the steam generated in the passage of
the water through the red-hot interior
of the peak is evident, because of the
fact that when the pressure became too
great the sides OF the mountain yielded,
inst as a boiler would have done under
like circumstances, an immense eXplo-
sion was the result.
The explosion is said to have been
heard a distance of more than one
-solute darkness in the vicinity of the
exploded peak upward of three hours,
during which time perfect torrents of
hot water and mud were poured down
from the immense heights to which
they had been hurled by the force OF
the ..pent u pfuries" which caused the
disaster. The debris which fell after
the explosion covered an area of forty
four thousand acres to a depth varying
from ten to one hundred feet on an av-
.erare, and in one place, where beau
tiful valley had existed but few
hours before, rocks and mud were
piled up to the height of nine hundred
feet. Three villages were engulfed in
the ruins, and at least FIVE hundred IN
babitants killed by falling debris or
drowned and cooked in the torrents OF
boi,inr mud. which flowed down val
lev TO a distance of nine miles.
These facts were CLEANED from re-
port made by a visiting committee aP
pointed by the university OF Toxic
Portland Oregonian.

TRICKS OF HIGH TARIFFITEs.

McKiuley's Minions Trying to Fool the
Farmers.
Gov. Mckinley and other advocates
of his tariff policy have been telling
the people that what they need is the
restoration of the Mckinley duties on
agricultural products. But the repub-
lican vote in the northern counties in
1892 appears to have been overlooked.
The makers of the Mckinley tariff
tried to fool the farmers in all parts Of
the country by increasing the in
effective duties on wheat, corn, oats
and other agricultural products, while
at the same time, by higher duties on
manufactured goods, they increased
the cost Of many things which farmers
must buy. The republican party's
tariff makers sought especially to con-
ciliate the farmers in this doubtful
state Of New York by increasing the
duties on the farm products of the
counties lying on or near the Canadian
boundary, and in the campaign of 1891
republican organs gleefully and very
confidently predicted large increase
of the number of republican votes to
be cast by those counties in the presi-
Dental election of that year. A great
many democrats in those counties, it
was said, would vote the republican
ticket because these Mckinley duties
had done so much for them.
The returns were very disappointing
tor these prophets. The farmers on
the border, like those in the interior
OF the country, had not perceived that
any benefit derived from higher duties
on agricultural products outweighed
the injury inflicted by the higher
prices of great many manufactured
articles. In spite of the increased du-
ties on grain, the farmers of the west
had seen the price of wheat fall from
ninety-four cents to seventy cents, and
a greater decline in the price of corn
and rye. At the same time they had
not only the evidence of their own ex-
perience as to the enhanced prices of
many necessaries Of life, but also the
tabulated admissions of the Aldrich
report, republican document, that
white lead, salt, fannels, carpets,
crockery, glassware, table cutlery,
starch, common linen goods, milk
had advanced.
The Mckinley increase Of duties on
farm products was designed to deceive
the farmers. 1t was assumed that the
increase of the tariff on wheat from
twenty to twenty-five cents bushel,
the addition of five cents to the duty
on corn, the increase of the duty on
cornmeal from ten to twenty cents,
and other similar changes would con-
vince the agriculturist that he was
getting his share of the tariff plumber
and induce him to submit cheerfully
to the higher duties on manufactured
goods. The elections of 1890, 1901 and
1892 showed that the farmers had not
been misled by the pretense that they
were protected by such imposts.-N.

Close confinement underground was
telling upon all the inmates and even
upon Hendricks himself. He noticed
that the long deprivation of sunlight
made everybody gloomy and doubtful.
| Up to within week his men had all
taken regular turns in the air. In this
respect they had nothing to complain
of. They had gone out at the western
| exit in groups-had hunted and fished
and enjoyed themselves and he had
lost none of them. The privilege had
been shut off as soon as the regiment
got away and the one hundred men
left behind, although made up of the
| workmen and help of the establish
ment, were becoming FESTIVE under the
restraint. In spite of the fact that the
ventilation had been improved very
much and the variations of temperature
were scarcely appreciable in the ro-
tunda, which was not only the most
spacious, but the most enjoyable part
of the Laran, the doctor found that he
was encountering a new group of COM
plants and he had the good sense to
attribute them to the condition of con-
finement.
The day after the failure of the doc
tors experiment with Miss EEdicott,
the general, who had been away on
mission of Importance, suddenly re-
turned. He came in at the bayou en-
trance late at night, but he reported to
Hendricks. who got out of bed and the
two sat in consultation until morning.
Whatever the nature of their confer
ence was, it's Importance and the ur.
gency of events were made apparent
by the generals words at its close.
I'VE have just three days to get the
rest of our men out-that leaves them
five days to assemble. They must be
in ST. Mary's on the 5th. You have
no suspicion. have you, that the new
move is known in any way to these
officers above ground?"

what these men suspect. For some
reason Mrs. Hendricks is reticent. The
only thing to do is to go ahead and dis
regard them. They have got 10 posse
in the neighborhood, for I have been
over the ground
At this point the doctor came in and
announced that Miss Endicott. who had
not been out of her bed since the shock,
was in one of her frances and they
might, he thought, renew the expert
ment in Il guarded way.
Hendricks excused himself to the
general and went to Miss E1.dicotts
bedside, where, after turning out the
negress, the two men sat down. The
doctor then proceeded as before, and
when the girls eyes were fixed upon
vacancy, he said: Tell me what you
see"

Forty-seventh congress was organized
on the first Monday of December, 1881,

speaker. The Fifty-Irst congress was
organized on the first Monday in De-
cember, 1889, with Thomas B. Reed, of
Maine, in the chair.
During the Forty-seventh congress
prof:gacy ran riot, and the appropria-
lions were increased SO largely that
public sentiment was outraged and the
party was not able to again carry the
country in a congressional election un-
til 1888, when Harrison was elected
president. Upon the face Of the re-
turns there was a small republican
majority in the congress elected that
year, which after the organizat ton in
Decem Der, 1ss9,was increased by throw
T ing out several democrats and seating
republicans in their places.
With full power in their hands the
republican prodigates proceeded to
make the best of their opportunities.
All sorts of appropriations were asked
for and allowed until more than a
billion dollars had been disposed Of
