An indian on a Bicycle +,

It is reported that a bicylist,
while riding across the Nez Percs
reservation, attracted the attention
of an Indian and SO completely
captivated him that the wheel was
soon exchanged for a wagon and,
team, with which the native was
hauling posts to fence his ranch.
The white man left the Indian
trying to mount the newly acquir-
ed vehicle and drove into town.
The last report from the amateur
bicyclist is that he tried to make a
reckless run down the Soldiers
Canyon grade. The wheel went
off on u tangent and piled up on
the rocks twenty feet below the
road, where wheel and rider were
both supposed to be in need of re-
pairs.

MitchelI's Amendment for Their Pro-
lection.
The amendments of Senator
Mitchell. of Oregon, inserted in the
sundry civil bill. may lead to some
interesting results and also cause
herinternational complications,
similar to those over Behring sea,
as part Of the appropriation for
protecting salmon fisheries in AL
aska. There is provision by
which the secretary Of the treasury
is authorized to send an inspector
to investigate and report upon the
taking and destruction of the eggs
of wild fowls, and alleged wanton
destruction of game birds, deer, fox
and other animals in Alaska. A
report is also asked as to what
method should be taken to prevent
such destruction in future. It APP
pears the Canadian poacher, not
content with the destruction of
seals, is playing havoc in the wilds
of Alaska, where game birds make
nests in the summer and rear their
! ,oung. These eggs have been
found valuable in the man
ufacture Of ce..ta;n articles, and are
taken by thousands. While poach-
ers are at work they kill every
thing that comes along. There
has been peroeptible falling OH
in the number of game birds on
the Pacific coast, snd an investlga-
tion Of the cases led to tllcs olscoV-
cry Of this new form of poachlns.
1t is believed by Senator Mitchell
that an official report on what the
people of the Pacific coast have dis
covered will lead to legislation to
prevent further poaching.

Gold h the Rlue mountains !.

It is just about year ago since
a prospector by the name Of Green
delved deep into the hills about
Blue creek and the expectations Of
those who furnished the grub
stake" and other necessaries, we're
way up in the nineties, but some
how the thing petered out and no
one said a word; not a word. Still
there are number Of old settlers
who at sundry times found grains
Of gold in the craws Of their ducks
and geese, and they are firm in the
belief that there is gold in the
Blue mountains, but the trouble is
where to find it. However, if at
first you don't succeed, try, try
again, for if there is gold in our
mountains we want some Of it,

oaoLERA nAsixe IN CHINA.

Dead and Dying Victims IN Every Hand in
the Streets of Peking, Shanghai and Tien-
Tsin-And Yet The Chinese There Gorge
Themselves with Raw Cucumbers and
Meions-Thousands Dying Daily.
San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 21. Will
liam f. Curtis, who is the Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago Record"
was q passenger on the steamer Gaelic,
which arrived from the Orient yester-
day.
"The cholera has attained fearful
proportions in China said Mr..
Curtis. "Chinese are dying by the
thousands. | passed through the
streets of Peking, Shanghai and Tien-
Tsin and saw cholera victims dead and
dying on every hand. 1t is no uncom-
mon sight to see tho dead bodies Of
cholera victims lying on the street in
one block and in the next lot of
Chinese gorging themselves with raw
cucumbers and melons. Tho cholera
is all attributable to the filthy habits
of the Chinese, and the weather. The
summer was quite cool until August,
then spell OF excessively hot weather
came on and with it the cholera.
In Peking they have plan of issu-
ing permits for the removal of bodies
outside the city wallis As is probably
we'll known, no bodies are inferred
within the walls To secure permits
sion for the removal OF the remains of
deceased mortal outside the walls of
the city, cash deposit is dropped in
box. The cash is small brass coin
worth one e-twentieth of one cent At
the night the cash receptacle is full.
1t contains from 1900 to 5000 pieces
Of coin and when it is considered that
nearly all of these deaths result from
cholera, the enormous extent of the
disease can readily be judged. The
disease is as bad at Shanghai and
Tien-Tsin, and is also moving down
Chinese by the hundreds in other ports
of the infected country.
Mr.. Curtis said that the cholera is
confined almost exclusively to the ma
tive Chinese. In Picking, where very
few foreigners reside, he had heard Of
no deaths among the white population.
In Tien-Tsin only one death among the
foreign population had been reported
up to the hour he left China. In
Shanghai, where the cholera is raging
at an awful rate, the fatalities among
the foreigners have been much greater.
Mr.. Curtis said he had been advised of
is deaths.
