AN UNKNOWN LAND.

N. T. Thompson, of Johnson,
Pa, writing to the Maunfactnr-
ers' Record on how the South
can attract capital, population
and manufactures Gays: "The
Sequachee Valley and the Ten
nessee Valley around Chatta
noogs, Tenn, are almost terrs
incOguita to travellers and inves-
tors, and yet for salubrity OF ellis
mate, fertility of soil and richness
of forest and minerals, they
would be difficult to match anyA
where"
What has the great Sequachee
Valley done to be called this
hard name? In the face of per-
sistent advertising it is terra in
cognita. Either It's resources are
boundless or the advertising has
been Of no value. However, the
the SEQUAcHEE VALLEY NEWS,
with It's circulation in sixteen
States, is doing all it can to rem
edy that defect.

Butte, Mont, Nov. 25.-A biz

TIE thermometer has dropped from
80 above to 10 below zero.
Bismarck, N. d., Nov. 25.-Two
feet of snow on the level and still
showing is the condition that is max
ing men in this section desperate to-
day With thousands of cattle on
the ranges without food or shelter
the situation is more critical and
heavy losses are expected. There
has not been as much snow on the
ground before at this season Of the
year as now.
Helena, Mont, Nov. 25--The
worst snow storm that has visited
Montana for years is raging here and
has been for the past thirty hours
and shows no signs of abatement.
Over foot of snow has fallen, tying
up all street car lines in Helena.
The storm is general throughout the
Northwest and SHOWS so deep that
railroad traffic is seriously interfered
with. Cold extreme, mercury rang
ing from to 30 degrees below zero.
We don't have anything of the
kind here in the embrace of the
grand old Cumberland mountain
but warm sun shine, everyone
working out Of doors and south
wind blowing, aud stranger still
this condition exists eleven
months out of the twelve months
in every year and there is no oc"
casion for enforced idleness. We
are not advocating any land sale,
but it seems strange to US when
writing this, how people can
stand the hard winters when
there is a country like this wait,
ing to receive good, honest, hard
working people where they car
live on less than IN any portion
of the United States. Come or
and see for yourselves.

made for the nearest point of land. Thls
was rock almost covered and enclrcled
by land. After landing they dug every
where for water, but like the ancient mar
liner they found water, water everywhere,
but not drop to drink" A number OF
goonles Ia member of the albatross family
were captured and distributed among the
boats, but only the ones that were longest
IN making land made any use OF their llv-
Ing. cargo. Even in these instances the
flesh was not used, and meal was made
of the blood.
Some trouble was experienced in getting
away from the rock and one OF the boats
was almost swamped. Once clear 1T was
plain sailing. The men suffered horribly:
however. Some of them were only half
dressed and all of them had been crenched
by the waves. The sun beat down furiously
and the sea reflected it back again. Dur
ing the day they were baked almost to
cinder, and at night the wind and sea
would get up together and the men would
get soaked through and through. Their
hands and feet swelled to frightful proper
tions and many of the men attempted to
Jump overheard in order to end their suf-
ferings.
Three of the boats landed at the island of
Niihau, but steamer had to be sent after
the fourth, which was in command in j. f.
Jackson. The Keau Hou was placed at
the disposal of Captain Mockler, and he
found tue men when they had given up
all hope and were almost dead from
hunger and thirt. They were all delirious
and begged and prayed for water. Their
mouths were washed out and only few
drops at time were given them. When
satisfied little broth was made and fed to
them, and in this manner they were gradu-
ally brought back to life and reason.
The men who were in charge of the four
boats were seen yeste erday, and all had
thrilling stories to tell. 'sWhen took my
last observation on February 21," said
Captain Mockler, "we were in latitude 30
deg. 10 min. north, longitude 1866
deg. 20 min. west. l thought that
we were clear OF all danger, but the
current carried us down during the night

need NOT BREAK down.
Many Men and Women Do When It Is
Entirely Needless.


sTt is almost impossible to find persons in
the ordinary walks of active life who are not
suffering, more or less, from want of vital
force.'
1t was learned professor connected with
this remark: t'Men break down under the
strains OF igh-pressure living" he continued,
"they overwork the brain and neglect the
body. They exercise no part of the body ex-
cept the head, and consequently suffer from
Indigestion, palpitation of the heart, weak
nerves and other ills that make life burden"
That the above words are absolutely true is
repeatedly proved by the experience of many
men who break down through overwork and
too close attention to business. They overtax
the nervous system, they strain their physical
powers to the point OF exhaustion and then
have to give up the fight. This was exactly
what happened in the case of selden Fish, the
well-known Chicago lawyer, as will be seen by
the following statement that he recently
made: 81 was not diseased, said Mr.. Fish, 'Dut
simply prostrated at my nerve centers by too
close application to business. By the use of
Duffy's pure malt whisky, however, was COM
pletely restored to health. / think that this
whisky is natures great remedy for almost
any weakening or wasting disease.'
Thousands of people have passed through the
same experience. When broken down and worn
out in health they have discovered that the
only way to regain their lost vigor is by the
use of pure stimulant. They have found out
pure malt whisky, which is uneXcelled for its
great restorative powers. No other prepara-
ton can be relied on to work its wonderful
curative effects. Do not let your druggist or
grocer attempt to sell you anything that is
claimed to be cheaper or "juSt as good"

point on the north and the bare hills that
back it stand the Hotel Iturbide and the
simple little Mexican custom house and
town. In the town is a barracks where
about fifty dark-skinned Mexican soldiers
are housed. They are uniformed In the
summertime in white and straw hats, ana
are more reminiscent of picnics than OF
war.
An American hotel, second class, keeps
open doors for modest tourists at $50 per
month, while the ''high-tened' English
visitors, of whom there are many, sit on
the piazzas of the Iturbide and dreamily
contemplate the drowsy sea, for the ocean
in that vicinity is as quiet as a sleeping
babe.
There is restaurant in the place where
one may dine on the fattest of chickens,
with Spanish olives, French pates, French
wines, real Havana and Mexican cigars.
An excellent Mexican band gives open air
concerts and also plays at banquets in the
restaurant, the most favorite Spanish airs
being "Los Rlsos Cabellos," "Sobre Las
Olas," "Dime Mujer," "Un Beso," la
Paloma" and others that make the feet
tingle for the dance.
There is no doubt that when that band
gets to playing some of its lively music
Sister 0verman and Mother Tunnel viii
be sorely tempted to waltz 10 the seduc-
tive music.
In this quaint town, away from the
clatter of Christian gossip and solaced by
the daily reading of the Scriptures, it is
expected that the roses will bloom again
in the now sallow cheeks of the strawberry
haired Matte, and that that pious matron,
Mrs. Tunnel, the mother confessor of the
fair Matte, will await in peace the second
coming, in which doctrine she is so ardent
believer.
Some SIlrpriSa has heaD mapifesfad that
Matte and her aged friend did not HE to
Tacoma, where is Mattie's home, and
to lives her sister. who, according to
Mattie's evidence, supplied her with
money. 1t would not cost her so much to live
up there, and besides that she would be in
the bosom of her family. The story that she
went to Ensenada for the purpose of in
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-17

ducing Mrs Tunnel to make an affidavit
exonorating DR.. Brown is not generally
believed. Such an affidavit would be prac-
tically worthless, because Mrs. Tunnel
could depose to whatever points she
pleased and there would be no opportunity
of cross-examining her.
Her statement would have but little
effect upon public opinion, because she
has already denied that she received
money from DIR. Brown since she has oeen
away from San Francisco and afterward
acknowledged that she received money,
but was not aware of the source whence it
came.
A strong impression prevails in certain
quarters that Mrs, Tunnel knew all about
the plot entered into by Matte to black
mail DR.. Brown. but that she piously
looked upon the matter as plan to bring
DR.. Brown to his duty as minister and as
Mattie's most admired friend. Others be-
l1eve that Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Baddin, the
landlady spoken of as having had ocular
keyhole demonstration of the doctors al
legged lEdiscretion with Matte, is simply q
lay figure for Mrs. Tunnel.
There is no doubt that the old lady IS the
keystone of the case. Her sudden flight
from this City after having had a confer
and the fact that these two supplied her
with money after she left, have given rise
to the most damaging suspicious against
the Rev. Charles Oliver Brown.
The Grand Jury has as yet made no in
ouiry into Miss Overman's culpability in
the blackmail scheme as revealed by her
setf before the church council under the
most solemn of oaths. Nothing will be
done until after the church council shall
have rendered it's decision in the Brown
case. When that shall have been done the
Grand Jury will take hand.
District Attorney Barnes said yesterday
afternoon that after the conclusion of the
Brown ecclesiastic. trial Matte Overman' s
case will be properly presented before the
Grand Jury. He expects that the ecclesi-
astical council will prepare findings, and
this will expedite the work of the Grand
Jury very materially, the evidence before
the council being of the most voluminous
character and numbered up with much ir-
relevant matter.
Miss Overman, he said, was under sub
pena in the Davidson case for the defense,
and if she does not appear when called she
will be guilty of contempt of court. If
she should be indicted for felony by the
Grand Jury extradition papers will be ap-
piled for and she and Mrs. Tunnel will be
brought back from Mexico or wherever
else they may be.
Miss Overman's absence is favorable for
Mrs. Dayidson's case. She is the most i'm
portant witness for the prosecution and
should she and Mrs. Tunnel remain away
it will only be a matter of Or. Browns
word against that of Mrs. Davidson.
Should Miss Overman be indicted she will
have to stick to the story she told the &C.
clesiastical council, otherwise her testi-
mony will be re jected by the jury as false.
Taking all these facts into consideration
it is believed that the pious pair will re-
main in hiding somewhere in Mexico until
the Davidson matter is settled at least.

predicament. He was at Foresters' ball
in Union-square Hall on Saturday night,
and about l o'clock Sunday morning he
got into fight. One of the objects of his
wrath was Mrs. ]. Thompson of IL Tehama

Brignoli was arrested for disturbing the
peace, and on Sunday he was released on
bail. Yesterday morning, when his case
was called in Judge Joachimsens court
he failed to appear and bench warrant
was issued for his arrest.
Lady friends of Mrs.. Thompson were in
court and they told the Judge that she
was in precarious condition as the result
OF her injury, as she was in delicate state

The Judge at once raised Brignoli's bail
