Shelby Eli billiard, of the Red Lodge,
Montana: New Idea, is of the opinion
that, Of all the mean and despicable
and outrageous maladies on this vol
canic crust of sin and deceit-the la
grippe is the bell-wether of every other
disease that human hide is heir to. He
says the acute pain that one eXper-
fences during malignant attack of
this disease would battle the descrip-
tive pen of Col. Pat DOMAIN, or the la
mented Bayard Taylor. 1t is a mel
litiuous medley of all the diseases in
the world combined with galloping
consumption on the side. 1t is a sort
of organization of concentration of all
maladies squeezed into one and a trust
company formed and the treasury
stock is used exclusively for develop
ing pain. When the pain becomes
excruciating and you ache-so bad you
wish you were dead and had clods piled
on your pine cot1in-a fvecent monthly
dividend is being declared and the pain
increases.

st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth,
where most such commitments occur,
the total for 1893 was 435, while for
1894 it was but 1877. 1t is Improbable
to philosophize on these figures. They
are to be accepted with unquestioning
satisfaction. Whether they indicate a
better method of reaching the criminal
classes, or more effective system of
prevention, or the growth of higher
moral character and greater self-con-
troll, or that suffering makes people
better where prosperity corrupts them,
we will not pretend to say. But they
should have the widest publicity for
the credit that they reflect upon the
people and the institutions of our state.

carriage in which sat her trembling
lover she was espied by her mother, who
quickly called the hotel officer to her
assistance and succeeded in getting the
erring girl back to her room.
The young man, who had succeeded
in making good his escape, was later
in the evening found at the Pennsyl-

and an exciting scene ensued. The young
man was threatened with an immediate
arrest for attempting abduction, but

Its Condition Changes and An Eruption
May Occur.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Great eX-
citement is caused throughout the
Puget Sound country by what is looked
upon by many as an eruption OF Mount
Tacoma, or Rainier, 4.440 feet high.
The mountain was lately strangely
transformed. The crest of the mon
arch of the Cascades is changed, the
cone having fallen in, and steam can
be seen rising from its crater. There
was no eruption, it is believed by those
most competent to Judge, but great
masses of rock seem to have fallen.
The snow-capped cone has disappeared
and sharp, pointed peak risen in its
place to the east of the crater. The
changed appearance of the mountain
is evident from the streets of Seattle,
ninety miles distant, and thousands of
people are watching the peak. But
very few people have ever assembled
the mountain, ans at this time of the
year its ascension is an absolute i'm
possibility. There is no way of max
ing thorough investigation of the
phenomenon.
