FURS IN RUSSIA.
They Are Used For Innings, and ScaIskin
Ia Not Eavnrita-

The foreigner visiting Russia finds that
he must reconstruct his ideas about furs.
If he be an American, his first discovery is
that his favo-itc scalskin is out of the race
| entirely. No Russian would pay the price
| which is given for sealskin in return for
| such "cold fur nor would he wear it
on the outside for display, while it would
be too tender to use as a lining. Sealskin
Is good only for short jacket between
seasons for walking, and If one sets out on
foot in that garb she must return on foot;
she would be running a serious risk if she
took a carriage or a sledge.
All furs are used for linings-in short,
by thus reversing natures arrangement,
one obtains ihe natural effects and wears
the fur next his skin, as the original own
er of the pelt did. Squirrel is ''coid, ;"
cheap fur, while mink, also reckoned as q
'cold'' fur, though more expensive, is
used by men only, as is the pretty, mottled
skin obtained by piecing together sable
paws. The cheapest of the downy furs,
which are proper for the climate is the
brown goat. Next come the various
grades of red fox fur-those aburdantly
furnished with hair, where the red is pale
and small in area, aud the gray patches
are large and dark, being the best.
The kUni, which Was the unit of curren-
cy In ollen days and WAS used by royalty,
Is the next in value, and is costly if dark
and with tough lightweight skin which
is an essential item of consideration for tho
necessary large cloaks. Sabies, rich and
dark, arc worn by any one who can afford
them, while the climax OF luxury is at
tanned IN the black fox fur, soft and deli
cate as feathers, warm n July day. The
silky curly white Tibctan goat and the
thick straight white fur of the pSetz make
beautiful evening wraps for women, under
velvet, and are used by day Also though
they are attended by the Inconvenience of
requiring frequent cleaning
Cloth or velvet is the proper covering
for all furs, and the coiors worn for driv-
ing are often say or light. \ layer Of
wadcinEy between the fur and the covering
adds warmth and makes the circular

One Death and Two More
Gases Reported from Greg
M DRY, Near this City. u.

Health Officer Trace was called
this morning to attend q sick child
81 Fred johnson. who lives about
three miles south OF this city. The
affected child is girl about ten
years old, and the doctor pronounced
her case as diphtheria. The family
OF Andrew Olson, who lives near BY
has also been attacked BY this
dread disease. Swan Anderson boy
aged seven years died. Our
informant stated that the child
had died from some throat
trouble, but as no doctor had been
called the exact nature OF the case
could not be given. DR.. Trace pro-
nounced the. case diphtheria and
ordered the deceased child to be
buried privately and quaran-
tined both houses and will take all
possible precautions to prevent the
spread of this terrible scourge. The
health officer also reports a very bad
sanitary condition around the house
of Mr.. Olson. Another and younger
child OF Mr.. Olson's is also affected.
The disease is evidently in it's worst
form, as the first child afflicted was
not sick more than "a hours before
death resulted.

An Indian Shot.

A shooting ARRAY is reported from
near Mile Laos lake, said to have
occurred one day last week. An In
dian named Young Shakopee is said
to have become involved in quarrel
with q white man, whose name is
not given, over hay stumpage. dur
ing which the latter shot the Indian,
INJECTING probably a fatal wound.
The report has not been verefied and
wecannot vouch for it's authenticity.
The Indians near Mile Laos have
been putting up hay for the lumber
men who operate in that vicinity,
and as stumpage is quite scarce,
owing to the terrible fire
of last year, there has been con-
siderable of a rush for it, and the
quarrel reported is a very probable
one.

AA BUSHELS PER HcRE.
George Kay's Farm In Swan
River Produces II Bushels &
of wheat Per Kcre.

Onr readers were certainly pre-
pared for reports of large yields OF
crops In Morrison county this year,
but the returns of the threshers were
somewhat ahead oi expectations.
When the Transcript published
starcments of farmers this summer
that some fields looked as though
they would certainly yield oyer 80
bushels Of wheat per acre, it seemed
likesotnething of an exaggeration,
and the men who had confidence in
IS Bushels per acre usually said they
hated to have the report published,
al people would not believe it. A
number of reliable reports have been
received, however. of over 40 bushels
per acre, and in some localities
threshers that have been at work for
more than two weeks have not found
leas than 30 bushels per acre on any
farms. The largest yield yet re-
ported comes from Swan Riyert town.
and it seems incrediable that any
better will be reported. Six acres
on the farm Of George r. Kay yielded
264 bushels according to machine
measure-a yield per acre of a
bushels. The grain ia of the best
quality, good in color, clean and
hard.

Heartbroken Widows and Chill
dren Mourn Over the
Lost Ones.

HoUGHToN, Mich, Sept. 10.-The Sit
uation ut Osceola copper mine remains
about the same US it was Sunday. Cap
tains Richards and Edwards and
couple Of men went down as fur as the
second level in No. shaft SUNDAY
night to make some repairs to the pump.
Everything appeared to be clear there,
but after the men had been working tor
while they suddenly felt themselves
being overcome by the gas and started
up. One Of these men became ex-
hausted before going fur and had to be
helped to the surface by those with him.
Captain Richards and Captain Ed
wards, with small gang Of men, went
down the No. shaft during the morn
ing and succeeded in getting within
200 feet of No. 4, when they were afraid
to go further owing to the strong gas
eous odors, and returned to the surface
as fast as possible.
Ready to Risk Death.
The relatives of the entombed men
are becoming more anxious, as each hour
passes by, to recover the bodies, and
would willingly enter the burning
mine, which they know would mean
death, to try and find few of the
missing bodies. The majority Of the
men say that NEST Of the bodies will
undoubtedly be found on or near the
18th level Of NJ. 4 shaft. About B
o'clock the men became convinced that
their scheme would not work and now
every shaft has leen tightly sealed to
remain so u1.til Wednesday,. Many
thousands again visited the mine during
the day, and when this latter announce,
ment was made the frantic cries Of the
heartbroken mothers, sons and daugh-
ters could be heard all over the location.
How the fire originated is great mys-
terry. Captain Richards thinks it the
work of incendiarics, while others say
that it was undoubtedly due to careless
ness on the part OF miners.

W. Not BE True.

y A German woman named Lang.
living near Long Prairie, Todd
county, told very extravagant
story at the capitol this morning
about certain ill-treatment. which
she has been receiving at {. the hands
OF her farmer. neighbours, and the
alleged refusal OF the county officials
to take hold of the case for her. She
had a long session with the attorney
general, and another with Assistant
State Treasurer Alderman, who
acted, finally, as her interpreter.
She says that her farm has been
overrun by her enemies, that fences
have been broken down, crops de-
stroyed in the fields and in the barns,
and that several times the resent
ment has gone SO far that her house
was broken into at night and in
dlgnities offered to members of her
family. She brought q civil suit
against one of the parties, but in
some way he won. She liz now
satisfied that the action should have
been a criminal one, and that she
was induced to bring q civil action
instead by men who were friendly to
the other side. In his letter file the
attorney general has a number of
letters from this woman, in which
she tells of her troubles at great
length, and this is not her first call
on him. What merit there is in her
case nobody at the capitol knows

Rumor. Says Corbett rs Not Doing Much

New YORK, Sept. 10.-A morning
paper prints q report that Champion
Corbett's friends do not believe that the
fight with Fitzsimmons will come off
and that consequently he is not train
ing. An interview is given with Par
son Davies who says:
II saw Corbett about week ago and
did not like his looks. He did not
seem to have the life and energy which
he formerly possessed and his eyes
were dull and 1istless. I attributed this
to the fact that he had been knocking
about the country a good deal playing
ball, attending theatrical performance,
keeping late hours and other dissipa-
tions.
Corbett Is . Wonderful Man
though and q great fighter. If he
trains all right and enters the ring in
fit condition there is no doubt but that
he will defeat Fitzsimmons. Bob,
however, is in great condition right at
this time and will put up hard fight.
If Jim is not right up to the mark he
may suffer defeat. I do not attach
much impc rtance to what hear of the
condition Of the two men, for I don't
believe they will meet, at least not
in Texas. When q governor of q
state announces that he will stop q
prize fight he generally means what he
says, and in this instance think Gov.
ernor Culberson is in earnest"
