The State Penitentiary ut Joliet,
Illinois, (where the Freelands from
Terra Alta are confined) is quaran-
tined against smallpox. The War
Zen has given strlcix orders that no
person will be allowed to visit any
prisoner nor go through the prison
nor attend chapel, white all the
guards have to be yaccinated, and
great precaution is still being ia
ken, owing to the large number of
eases Of smallpox in Chicago and
on the drainage canal only few
miles north Of the prison.
The State has lost hundreds Of
dollars during the past four months
owing to no visitors being taken
through the prison. and meals are
no longer served to transients. This
has amounted to a large sum, as
the admission price was 25 cents
and dinner 35 cents, and the sale
OF photos of various kinds pertain
ing to the prison has been but little.
rs all who apply as visitors are
qaickly refused admission.

TENANTED BY WILD HOGS.
Large Alabama Tract Where No HUI

A Large Alabama Tract Where No HUI
man Being DweIls.
In the northern part of Limestone
county, Ala. is a tract of land con-
sisting of more than one thousand
acres, which is not on the map of the
state, nor can it be found in the reg
ister's Office of that county. No one
claims it and no taxes have ever been
paid on 1t. 1t is a vast wilderness, in
habited by snakes, deer and razOrback
hogs. 1t is a free hunting ground, and
thousands of these hogs are killed
every year, more for sport than for
anything else. The hogs are wild and
cannot be domesticated. Their yield
is said to be enormous. Tom Booth, of
Pulaski, Tenn. secured male and fe-
male and did all in his power to tame
them, but failed. He kept them a
year, and at the end of that time they
were as wild as at first. The more he
fed them the thinner they became.
Within the year they consumed four
hundred bushels of corn and We're as
9ean as church mice. During that time
the SOW had five litters of pigs, num-
bering two hundred and ten. Mr..
Booth could not tame any of these nor
get them fat enough to make even
soap grease. Finally he gave them tC
a negro, who now considers himself
under no obligations to Mr.. Booth.
The flesh of these hogs resembles
horseflesh. 1t is as tough as coon
skin, and a large-sized hog of this
species rendered would not make
grease enough to fry skillet of batter
cakes. They go through a garden like
a shovel plow, and no vegetable es
capes them. They can crowd through
a crack that would hardly admit q
mouse, and their sharp noses act as
levers foI garden gates. The Tennes
scans make great fun of Alabama's
raZorbaclx hogs

A North Carolina paper tells the
following: AT Harnett county superior
court, a few years since, Judge Shipp
presiding, the trial of cause had been
protracted till near midnight. The
jury was tired and sleepy and showed
tagging attention. Willie Murchison,
who was addressing the jury, thought
to arouse them, so he said: Gentle
men, 1 will tell you an anecdote" In
stantly the judge, the jury and the few
spectators pricked up their ears and
were all attention, as Murchison was
admirable in that line, had fund of
anecdotes and no one could tell them
better. But he soon proceeded to tell
one of the dullest, prosiest and most
pointless jokes possible. Everybody
looked disappointed. The judge, lean
ing over, said in an unmistakable tone
of disappointment: ''Mr. Murchison, 1
don't see the point to that joke Nor
L either replied the witty counsel.
''But your honor told it to me on our
way down here and as 1 thought the
lack of appreciation must be due to my
obtuseness concluded to give the joke
a trial by jury"

EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS.
How They Are Being Improved as Our
Civilization Advances.

How They Arc Being Improved as Our
Civilization Advances.
Capt. John j. Dalton is writing a
little book that is calculated to show
the improvement in ordinary everyday
expressions that is continually going
on, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Capt. Dalton has given the subject a
good deal of thought and attention,
having talked with several centenari-
ans to get a correct idea of the style of
conversation in vogue fifty, sixty or
seventy-five years ago, and also min
gled with the people that you are
likely to meet at political caucus at
the present time. Here are q few eX-
cerpts from Mr.. Dalton's admirable
little book:
Style of 1885: ''Will you join me?'
Improved in 1898 to: Come on, and
we'll blow one Off"
Style of 1850: my luck has been
distressingly bad of late" The mod
ern expression: GIVE been travelling
on me uppers for two or three weeks. %
Style of 1915: 81 never was more sin
cere in my life" The present way:
dat goes, see?''
Style of 1860: 81 fear fingered too
long at the wine table last evening""
Altered in 1898 to: Il shot in too many
geesers last eve"
Style of colonial days: my adver-
sary was easily vanquished. The mod
ern thing: Il guess L didn't do thing
with that guy"

INDIAN NAMES
London Newspapers Find Their Spelling
a Matter of Difficulty.

London Newspapers Find Their Spelling
a Matter of Difficulty.
The London newspa pers occasion
considerable mirth to their Indian con-
temporaries by the spelling of Indian
words. 1t appears that, in reference
to the native princes and noblemen
who We're present at the opening of
the Imperial institute, we tried to
strike out on an original line, but were
only able to spell ''Gackwar' in seven
different ways, and ''Bhownugger'' in
four. Indian papers, it seems, are not
wholly sue cessful. we still occasionally
see E'Puna" and ''Poona," Hindu and
4'Hindoo," "Dacoit" and ''Dakait," and
so on, according to the taste and fancy
of the speller.
In supplement to the Bombay Gov
ernment Gazette we now have a re-
vised alphabetical list of Madras place
names, which is ''to be strictly adhered
to-" In this list, while retaining such
monstrosities as Observation-Disclosures,
Suncaraperumalkoyi Gannamanayak-
kanur and Ammayanayakkanur a
large proportion of the popular YER
sions are retained, with the thin dis
guise of a TX" for a &C." Three-and-
twenty out of the thirty-six pages of
the Notification are occupied by a list
of place-names in which the system
OF transliteration has been followed, %
and wonderful list it is.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The disturbances in South Carolina
are not creditable to the people engag-
ed in them. The provocation may be
great, viewing it from the standpoint
of the public, but it does not justify
the lawless course pursued, and the
best people of the state ought to con-
denim the resistance to law which has
been made and aid in it's suppression.
The Governor has a very unpleasant
task to perform, but it is his duty to
execute the law, and he cannot prop
erly shirk it, no matter what may be
his private opinion as to its wisdom or
it's expediency. If the law is unconsti
tutional the courts are the proper
place to establish it's invalidity. If
it is wrong and injurious but still not
in violation of the organic law of the
state. the people have their remedy at
the polls; they can elect members of
the legislature who will repeal the OBJ
noxious statute.
When the law was passed which viz
tually set up the state in business, en-
gaging in the sale of intoxicants, and
made the state liquor trade a monop
oily, The Herald expressed its opinion
as adverse TO the scheme We do not
believe it is one of the functions of
government to embark in any kind of
traffic and trade. 1t may regulate, con-
troll and obtain revenue from the con-
duct of business by the citizens, but
not engage therein itself. And when
it undertakes to engage in the liquor
traffic it is, in our opinion. departing
very far from its legitimate sphere of
operations.
Prohibition, or the attempt. to sup
press the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants. is within the constitutional
powers of some of the states But that
is very different from the state en-
barking in business. Prohibition has

UTAH WILL NOT HAVE THE UrEs,

It is evident that Rawlins has car
ried his point, and the great influence
of Colorado Senators and capitalists
will not prevail in dumping the Utes
from that state into Utah. A substi-
tute bill is to be reported to the House,
so. it is telegraphed from Washington
to Denver, which is a compromise. but
will not become law until the Utes
agree to the provisions. 1t will pro-
vide for keeping them on the west end
of, the reservation, and giving them
one township in New Mexico. They
will be given a quarter of the present
reservation.
That means the death of the removal
proposition. The Rawlins resolution to
move the Uncompahgres to Colorado
seems to have struck home. It brought
the promoters of the Ute removal
scheme to realizing sense of the
injury they were seking to perpetrate
upon Utah. The idea of removing the
Indians who are somewhat in the way
on the Uintah reservation, which is to
be opened for white settlement and
putting them with the other Utes on
the Colorado reservation, has brought
the schemers up standing. They can
see now how it is themselves.
Utah need be under no concern as to
whether the Colorado Utes accept the
new proposition or not. So that the
movement to foist them upon our ter
ritory is stopped, that is all we need
to care for on that matter If a deter
mined OPPOSITION had not been arrayed
against it, the scheme of the specula-
tors would probably have been con-
summated. 1t has been largely due to
the diligence and persistence of Utah's
Delegate in Congress that the plot has
failed. We may all congratulate our
selves on the outcome.
| Now the measure must be made COM
plete to open the Uintah reservation,
under such provisions as will secure
to the Indians their just rights, and
prevent the wild rush upon the lands
made available for white settlement,
which has occasioned so much trouble
in other cases. 1t will be a great boon
to a large number of people ins this
territory who are in need of land and
homes, and will add greatly to the
wealth and resources of Utah and of
the nation. Let us have the reserva-
ton opened as soon as possible.
