vcntion in Washington.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May ia mon
ster meeting of organized labor and
railway trainmen was held in the EN-
pire theater Sunday afternoon, under
the auspices of the Central Labor
union. The speakers were Eugene ".
Bebs, president of the American Rail
way union, and Geo. w. Howard, vice
president Both seemed flushed with
the recent victory in the strike on the
Northern Pacific conducted by the new
organization. The new organization,
it is said, would figure in politics, not
on questions of wages, which the Or
ganization could only wisely deal with,
but for shorter hours and such affairs.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing the
Coxey movement, and calling for a
labor convention at Washington.

closely resembles an Egyptian mummy

A BEAR ALOFT.
An Exciting Experience in the Rigging OF a
Vessel in the Arctic Waters.


There is an old sailor named Jake,
recently returned to San Francisco
from an Arctic cruise, who has made
up his mind not to go on another whal.
ing expedition no matter what hap
pens. The reason is this:
On one occasion during his late voy-
age Jake was on watch in the night
that is, as much night as it ever gets
up there in summer. The sun had
been down about an hour, and would
rise again about an hour ater. 1t was
a beautiful night as the ship lay there
in the ice, and the air seemed scintil-
lating with phosphorescent glow
that penetrated everywhere and made
40 shadows. On all sides the pack ice
lay close to the vessel and reached for
miles in every direction, broken occa-
sionally by n large berg or the faint
outlines of another ship. The silence
was profound; it seemed to produce
roaring sound like the waves of dis.
tant ocean. Such surroundings will
put Il person in semi-comatose state
from which the slightest souna will
awaken him with start.
Jake suddenly saw something white
in the gloom climbing the mast. His
first impulse was to jump to the deck,
but before he could act upon it the
white object climbed through the lub-
Der hole and Jake then saw it was a
polar bear. Jake realized that he was
in most dangerous position and be.
gan to think of means to escape. He
called to the watch on deck below, bht
they couldn't hear He tried to get
out under the canvas, but the beast
grabbed him and pulled him back. 1t
began humping him. and every time
Jake attempted to move away it would
growl. Suddenly his eyes lighted on a
rope hanging to- the deck just back OF
the cradle. BY this means he thought
he could reach the deck. 10 swing
himself free was hut the worl, of an
instant, but the bear made II jump and
caught hold of his foot. But a few
vigorous kicks freed him and then be
gan new terror. Perhaps the rope
was not strong and would break or he
might miss the stay and swing against
the mast and be dashed to death. The
moment in the air seemed years filed
with horror and several times Jake
wished he had taken his chances with
the bSar. 70 grab the stay and hold
ON was most ditlicnlt and twice JalSe's
hands slipped and almost lost it.
When he reached the deck he looked
up and saw the rope swing back to the
cradle, where the bear grabbed it. II
tried to do as it had seen Jake do. but
had no sooner swung clear than il,
slipped and fell to TIE deck. The crew
had bearsteali for breakfast. .--San

Chief Justice Resigns.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 14.-Much
surprise was created here Sunday by
the announcement of the res gnation
of Chief Justice George p. Kaney, of
the supreme court, to take place at
once. His resignation just now is like
ly to cause curious political combina-
tions. Judge Raney affiliated with the
anti-Cail faction, and this gives Gov.
Mitchell a good chance to appoint one
OF their own men to the vacancy,
which will give him prominence in
the convention called to nominate a
chief justice this fall. This office is
the only state Office to be filled at this
election.

We note by our exchanges that in
several of the towns of the state the
business men are taking steps to secure
the early closing of their stores, after
the first of the year. This is matter
we would like to see taken hold of
here, and we believe that it could be
accomplished.
A few moons ago we all were not
over complimentary in our remarks
on the weather. The untimely sum-
mer heat was a prolific subject of
censure, and the general tenor of the
conversation was filed with exple-
tives and explosives of the pyrotechnic
order. Now the weather is equally
unreasonable, but instead of our being
put out about it, we are at loss to
find superlatives with which to give ex-
preston to our satisfaction and de-
light. Queer people us.

Clean Your Seed.

Anyone who examines the grain
fields, or inspects the grain marketed,
will be surprised at the amount of
foul weeds in the one and foul seeds
in the other. 1t would be boon if
the system formerly in vogue, where
none but thoroughly cleaned grain
was saleable or could be marketed,
now prevailed, as it would do away
with the dockage system and tend
now as it did some years ago, to have
only clean seed sown.
ALI kinds of noxious seeds infest
our grain, the thistle, mustard, cookie
buckwheat, pigeon grass, rosin weeds
and other nuisances being found to a
greater. or less extent in the entire
wheat growing region of the west, land
it would save many an hours hard
and weary work another season, if all
grain was carefully cleaned before
being sown. Now is the time to do
this work, and that "an ounce of pre-
vention, is worth pound of cure"
needs no argument in this connection.
Thorough work in cleaning and the
careful selection of seed, will save
much danger from the Russian thistle
scourge with which we are now
threatened, and there is no doubt but
what our fields are in danger from
this prolific pest. Many of our
citizens realize impending danger, and
one at least of our grain firms, Wells,
Peafce & Co. have endeavoured to
save for seed, such grain as was COM
paratively free from foul stuff, and
such as they were assured by respon-
sible parties, contained no thistle.
This grain, principally flax has been
kept for seed, and only such as they
were not certain of was shipped away.
However, in allcases every care ought
to be taken to have only clean seed
planted and some farmers intend to
pick over their fax sseed by hand, SO
as to ensure its being absolutely free
from foul seed.

There is verse in the Bible which

The Ortonville Herald says: "There

tion would lie against any person
leaving an unprotected hole in the

, A correspondent of the Pioneer
Press, in an article on good roads,
says; of culverts, that no more wooden
ones should be used, but tile should
be substituted, and adds 'Where two
or three feet of water way is needed
steel bridges should be put in. An
ordinary wooden culvert costs about
$6 and would not last more than a
few years. A tile culvert of the
ordinary size costs about SO, and, if
properly laid, no man would live to
see the time when it would require to
be repaired. The only precautions
necessary are to have plenty of
earth put over it when it was laid, to
to preserve it from wheels and the
horses feet" What applies to county
roads applies to villages, and we hope
withthe dawn Of better times to see
an ordinance enacted here, that will
require the. use of tiling in all culverts
and drains and the use of stone for
crosswalks. During the past year it
was the intention of the council to
adopt this plan, but owing to the con-
dition of the village treasury only
temporary repairs were made when
actually needed, but hereafter all
permanent drains should be laid with
tiling.

That it is not the intrinsic worth of a
present that makes it priced by the
recipient, should always be re-
membered in making selections of a
gift. Presents, except to children, ARE
at this season, mementos of affection
ate esteem, regard and remembrance,
and their value is more in their being
priced for the sake of the giyer, than
for the cost of the gift. The sordidly
avaricious may measure present by
the price, but then they have no other
scale of weight or measures. A gift
should be selected for its artistic
beauty, daintyness, and modest at
tractiveness, and nothing is more APP
propriate than a choice book, pretty
picture, or the many delicate and
lovely souvenirs, that can be found in
our stores.

We are all too prone to criticise,
Judge and condemn others, forgetting

hesitate to condemn the errors of our
neighbors when our own frailties are
fully as conspicuous. Il am holier

criticism of others, and the party
that utters thought rejecting on
mothers character, frequently hears a
smash in their own glass house.
