resident Of Chicago since the early part
of 1898.
Party is secondary matter with Mr..
Woolley so long as the temperance cause
is advanced. He considers his work
to be the education Of the consciences
OF young men that they may lead right
lives. and believes the best way to do
this is to avoid partisan methods. He
is satisfied with simply urging all per-
sons to refuse affiliation with political
parties that refuse to deal frankly with
the liquor traffic.
Much has been written of Mr.
Woolley's life, his success, his fall
through drink. his conversion, and his
devotion TO the cause in which he is
now working. His fathers family were
among the early settlers Of this coun-
try, coming from England in 1853 and
settling at Newport, X. l. Mr. Wool
ley was born at COllinsville Ohio. his
father, Edwin G.. Woolley, being a
prominent physician. Early in the COS
the family moved to Paris, Ill, and at
the age of II the young man held a
prominent position in the public
schools. Mr.. Woolley was graduated
from the Ohio Wesleyan College in 1871,
went abroad, and on his return entered
the law department OF the University
OF Michigan. He was admitted to the
bar in 1873 in the Supreme court of Hi
nois. when The chief justice pronounced
his showing on examination the most
brilliant of all he had known. After
practicing four years in Illinois he
moved to Minneapolis, where he entered
Supreme court practice, becoming
states attorney and leading lawyer
in criminal cases. In 1885 he was called
to the Supreme court OF the United
States. He next engaged In civil prac-
iice and conducted to a successful Issue
one Of the most important commercial
litisations in the northwest. in which
as the representative of New York
syndicate. he attacked transfer OF
property on the ground OF fraud. and
by one argument recovered $4,000 900
for his clients.
Mr. Woolley became known as one
o. the most successful lawyers in the
northwest. lie is said to have received
the highest fees of any lawyer In Min
nesota. having once been paid $3.50 in
gold for a speech of five minutes in
successful plea for mercy for a con
victed criminal. In 1855 Mr.. Wooliey
was offered by General Fisk and others
associated with him a large salary to

Thev DO Not Evpend Their Powder ana
Bali ON the Ravenous Creatures.
iFrom the Denver Field and FARM
The northern Indians, particularly In
the Hudson bay region, and the Eski-
mos possess a fiendish ingenuity in
their method of capturing game, and
their way of applying it for killing
wolves Is horrible. They take nat
piece OF flint foot or so long, and
clipped to extreme thinness at the edge.
This they fasten to wooden stake.
which they drive into the ground firmly.
so as to leave the blade of flint project
ing above the surface. Then they cover
the blade all over with q good-sized
piece of fat from seal or other such ami
NAL. which freezes. Now. the wolf
catching apparatus Is complete. 30 that
the person who sets the trap has only
to come back again in day or two and
gather his prey without any trouble.
The wolf has an insatiable appetite for
blood. and It Is Of this weakness the
hunters take advantage. A little while
after the trap described is set along
comes the wolf. 1t IL hungry and
likes the piece of fat, and 20 1t II
thawed by the warmth Of his tongue: Il
tastes better. Presently its tongue
comes In contact with the sharp edge
OF the flint and is cut. It tastes tho
blood, not knowing It Is his own, and
the flavor drives 1t Wild. Eagerly It
ticks and licks 1t. decorating Its mouth
and becoming more frenxied In its de-
sire for its own life huid. Meanwhile.
other wolves have come up and have
begun to lick at the fat. cutting their
own tongues and becoming in their
turn wild at the taste. Presently the
bait IL surrounded by a pack Of raven
GUS and crazy creatures. which soon
turn upon one another and fall to de-
vonring each other. until the merciless
flint Is the center of a struggling mass
Of ferocious combatants fighting for
very life. At his leisure the hunter
appears upon the scene and skins the
wild beasts for market. The skins
cost him nothing save the trouble Of re-
moving them and the value OF the hunk

Mountains of Sulphur.

A. Goodbe, the Ensenada banker, has
recently returned home after trip
by way Of Yuma, to the great sulphur
deposits in the southern Cocopah
range of mountains on the eastern side
of Lower California. He was accom-
panied by Judge Masterson, of Yuma.
Mr.. Fay and a party Of CocOpah lndi-
ans as guides. They went in an open
boat down to the mouth of Hardy's Col
orado. thence up that river to the neigh
borhood OF the sulphur mines.
Goodbe describes these deposits as
sulphur. which is 81 per cent pure, and
refined sulphur is only 3S per cent pure.
All that is necessary to do is to shovel
the sulphur into sacks and ship 1t away
to the market for ordinary use, es-
pecially for the manufacture Of sui
phuric acid. At one point the deposit
rises as bluff fifteen feet high and
fully $50 feet wide, all of pure sulphur.
At the foot of this shaft has been
sunk into pure sulphur sixty feet deep.
He declines TO estimate the total guam
tity of sulphur, but simply says there
is plenty" His plans are to put the
product on the market immediately
