THE Berlin correspon dent Of the
Daily News reports he has learned
the German treaty with Russia was
in nowise as harmless as alleged,
but was disloyal to Austria.
"Prince Bismack was eager to come
to terms with Russia" says the
correspondent, "at Sierniewicz,
where the czar and Emperor Will
liam met, and later, IN interviews
with M, De Giers, he gave too warm
an expression of his desire. The
Russian diplomat noticed this, and
raised his price, the result being
the agreement, which it seems con-
tanned clauses which even now are
unknown, but which prove bad
faith to Austria In government
circles it is suspected that Bis
marck's ultimate object is to dis
solve the dreibund as the prince Of

BOONE THE HUNTER.
ne Always Carried His Rife and Killed
Much Big Game.


The next few years were passed by
Boone amid unending Indian conflicts.
He was leader among the settlers,
both in peace and in war. At one time
he represented them in the house OF
burgesses of Virginia; at another time
he was member of the first little Ken
lucky parliament itself; and he became
colonel of the frontier militia. He
titled the land, and he chopped the
trees himself; he helped build the cab
ms and stockades with his own hands,
welding the long-handled light-headed
frontier ak as skillfully as other from
tiersmen did.
His main business, writes Theodore
Roosevelt in st. Nicholas, was that OF
surveyor, for his knowledge OF the
country, and his ability to travel
through it in spite of the danger from
Indians, created much demand for his
services among people who wished to
lay Off tracts of wild land for their own
future use. But whatever he did, and
wherever he went, he had to be sleep
lessly on the watch for his Indian foes.
When he and his fellows titled the
stump-dotted fields Of corn, one or
more of the party were always on
guard, with rifle at the ready, for fear
of lurking savages. When he went to
the house of burgesses he carried his
long rifle, and traversed roads not a
mile of which was free from the danger
of Indian attacks.
The settlements in the early years
depended exclusively upon game for
their meat, and Boone was the mighti-
est of all hunters, 80 that upon him de-
volved the task of keeping his people
supplied. He killed manybuffaloes, and
picked the buffalo beef for use in win
ter. He killed great numbers Of black
bears and made bacon Of them, precise
ly as if they had been hogs. The COM
mon game were deer and elk. At that
time no Kentucky hunter would waste
shot on anything so small as prairie
chicken or wild duck; but they some
times killed geese and swans when they
came south in the winter and lit on the
rivers.

THE ELECTION.

Mckinley is elected President OF
the United States. The people SO
declared by ballot Tuesday. While
the Press from It's honest and
sincere convictions, opposed MIR,
McKinley's election to the utmost
extent of its ability, it submits to
the will and dictation Of the peo-
pie who by their votes, have de-
clared their confidence in the abil-
ity of the republican candidate to
overcome the ills and distress which
at the present time exists through
out the length and breadth Of our
fair land. While we concede the
election of Mr.. Mckinley, and sin
cerely hope for the best results and
the highest attainment of expecta-
tions Of the American people who
have elected him to the highest Of
fee the suffrage of those people
are capable Of giving. we do not
surrender one grain of the princi-
Piles for which we have contended
were right, and worthy the sup
port of every true citizen of this
great and grandest nation on earth.
We would consider il undemo-
cratic not to bow TO the supreme will
and wish of nation Of 100000
of people, only with grace boin of
the conviction that the principles
for which we have contended were
democratic, sincere in motive and
for the betterment of the condition
Of our nation, its people and its
institutions,
The campaign just ended has
been marked by the use of much
abusive and harsh language on
both sides, which we acknowledge
was unjournalistic and which aid
ell materially in characterizing the
great canvass that has just ended
as one of the most bitterly contest
ed in the history of the country.
Party lines were to great extent
obliterated and the issue, despite
all efforts to make 1t appear other
wise, was that of our monetary
system. The Bryan party asserted
this to be the issue, but the OPP
position denied the issue until the
closing days Of the campaign, when
influential speakers acknowledged
it to be true, and even the Portland
Oregonian condescended TO admit

and one young woman remarked
audibly: "Oh, mamma, did you
ever hear anything like that from
an engaged man?" It may be this
remark was overheard by Mr..
Depew, for he unbosomed himself.
He said that the reports that he
was engaged were, to say the least,
premature. He expressed regret
that such felicity had as yet been
denied him, and wound up by say
ing: ~ beg to assure you that /

portion of the audience cheered
wildly, while the unmarried mas
culine part OF it looked alarmed.

IT IS getting so that no part of
the great political papers can be
relied upon any more, particularly
along about election time. The
big dailies have for several weeks
been filling their telegraphic col
umns full of the shortage of wheat
until the price was doomed to a
high figure. Then they discover
ed that the shortage is not as great
as they first reported and wheat
takes drop of II cents. This is
an exact parallel with 1888 when
wheat in the East was worth 89
cents, September II. Just before
election it jumped up to $1.18. A
few weeks after election dropped to
80 cents. The only difference is
that the drop came this year be.
fore election instead of after. 1t is
generally safe proposition to sell
any kind Of a product that makes
a jump just before election.

STARVING INDIA.

Most Destitution Known Since the
Terrible Famine.
A London dispatch of October OATH
says at the wheat market and the pros
poets OF q famine In India still attract
much attention, although some OF the
most influential newspapers do not share
some quarters. The Bombay Gazette of
September 10, said:
"The prospects are as bad as possible
both fer 81 lin and cotton. A leading ex-
porter has informed his clients in Eng
land the crop of cotton will not exceed
fifty or sixty per cent. on the average
In Southern India the outlook is more
hopeful, The supply OF fodder is ample,
and If the worst comes there is no fear
of the recurrence of the horrors of 1875

tions. Native astrologers basirg their
theories on traditional observation Of the
heavens state II 1t rains within five days
o famine will be averted, but that later
rains will not avail"
The Lucknow HinduRtani said: "The
question now Is whether the famine will
last only four months or year. The
NAOp 10 6utO vi dti CIkttkC
No amount of rain can save It, and
the fate of the spring harvest de,
pends upon rainfall by October 4"
The Englishman proposes that the
government should undertake to provide
wheat by buying in the cheapest market
after consulting London, Odessa, Amer
lea and Australia, then distribute il
through European agents to the needy
provinces,
The Mark Lane Express says the rise
in the price OF wheat is warranted by the
situation, adding:
SIT is not speculative. On tho con
trsFy, a speculative bear raid is on foot
The English crop, which certainly does
not exceed z 7,250, 900 bushels is stated to
be 1900. 900 and there are signs that out
side influence is directed to accomplish a
reaction"
The Express urges English farmers
not to rush wheat to market, but to send
between now and Christmas the same
quantities as sent during November and
December, 1895, stating that American
and Russian farmers are strong holders,
owing to both crops being smaller than
in 1895.

A Watch That Has HUN Since 176A and
Is Still q Good Timepiece.

A Watch That Has HUN Since 17EA and
Is Still Good Timepiece.
Judge Frederick w. Moore, of the
superior court, is the possessor Of an
heirloom in the shape of watch that
no amount of money would buy, says
the st. Louis Republic And, besides
it's value as an heirloom, it has his
toric interest
The timepiece is of the open-face
bull's-eye pattern. As with all old
style watches of the pattern men
toned, the outer case must be removed
before it can be wound. The outer
case of this watch is of hammered
gold, and all the work on it was done
by hand. While this is apparent from
the workmanship, it is further proved
by the date on the inside, which is
1854. There is an inscription on the
inside as follows: Daniel De st. Leu,
Servant to Her Majesty, London" Her
majesty then was the queen of George
H., the then reigning king of England.
The authentic history of this valu-
able timepiece is this: In the years pre-
ceding 1854 William Augustus, duke of
Cumberland, the second son of George
IL, was the commander of the British
armies. In the Scottish campaigns and
in the campaigns against the Prussians
and the Russians, and when he was at
the head of the British, Hanoverian
and Danish forces of fifty thousand
men, DIR. Frederick William Schwartze,
Hanoverian, was on his staff as sur
geon. At the close of the campaign
against the Prussians and the Russians
the duke had three watches made like
the one Judge Moore has, and of which
it is one. The watches were presented
to three officers of the dukes staff by
him as q mark of his esteem. One
went to DR.. Schwartze, as q Hano-
verian. one to British officer and one
to Danish officer. The presentations
were made in 1F65. After the doctors
services had ended in 1857, and the
duke had returned to London, it was
expected he would succeed to the
throne, but the birth of son to his
elder brother cut him out.
DR.. W. Clsrk Robinson, of Edinburr
was classmate of Emperor William Of
Germany at Bonn, says the Boston
Transcript. Telling of his first meet
ing with the German emperor he said
the other day: sIt was in the fall of
7s when I first met the emperor. He
was student at Bonn. shall never
forget the amusing spectacle he pre-
sented. You know it is the custom of
the students at Bonn to take daily
plunge In the waters OF the Rhine.
For the new man this is trying ordeal.
When they go down TO the Rhine to
take their first swim they are repeat
edly ducked by the older students un.
til they cry for mercy. Everyone was
on the lookout for the princes initial
appearance, and when he ventured into
the river he was ducked unmercifullv
But William would never give nm.
Down again and again went the future
emperor's head, but he pluclily refused
to give up. Finally, when he had
reached the verge of total collapse. he

THE Rams Horn drops the fol-
lowing words Of encouragement to
poor boys who may be enyious of
the rich mans son. Between a
rich mans son and poor mans
boy, it is no doubt true that angels
can often see that the latter has
the most to help him to get the
best out of this life. In many
ways the rich mans son is as help
less as an infant in swaddling
clothes. The poor mans boy is
obliged to work, and by SO doing
finds sweetness in brown bread
that the rich mans son cannot find
in pound cake. He finds a Joy in
rest to which the other is a strang-
er in his idleness. He has every
incentive to improve his time,
while the other has every tempta-
tion to waste his. He has hopes,
aims and ambition which the other
knows nothing about, and in hun
dreds of ways can find a
truer satisfaction in living than
his more favored brother. Having
battles to fight that the other has
not, he may also win victories that
are sweeter.
