WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
A Great Northern Surveying Party Work.
Ing at Rainbow Falls.

A Great Northern Surveying Party Work.
ing at Rainbow Falls.
Some speculation has been caused by
the fact that a party of Great Northern
surveyors have been camped on the
north side Of the river near the Rainbow
falls for some days past and have been
running lines and taking observations in
that locality. 1t lie the same party that
was at work in the vicinity of Portage q
week o. 30 ago. Railroad surveyors are
not q very communicative class Of people
and this n is no exception to the rule,
80 that the natural curiosity Of the pub
lie as to their objects can not be graft
fed from any authoritative source, but
it is pretty sure that they are not there
for the purpose Of enjoying the scenery.
It has been surmised that it may be the
intention of MI. Hill to change the line
to come across the river somewhere in
that vicinity, carrying out q project long
talked Of as likely to be accomplished
some day. Then again it might be a
good many other things that the public
ia not likely to learn about till those who
control the movements of the party are
ready to let the world know their plans.
1t can be safely said that il Mr.. Hill de-
cides to build bis railroad to the Rain
bow falls next summer, it will not be for
the sole purpose Of giving the passengers
q chance to view the rainbow that hovers
the beautiful cascades at that point
in fine weather.

Plucked His Eye Out.

A crazy Frenchman, named Alex Vim
cite, caused CONSERVATION yesterday
evening at the Stockholm beer hall by
his antics. After some wild talk he
threw his hat into the stove and an
nounced that, just to show the people
that be was a tough man, he would tear
out one OF his eyes and cook it. Then
he pulled out a glass eye and laid it on
the top Of the stove, while the horror.
stricken crowd held it's breath. just
then Officer Voell happened along and
took Venette to Jail, where a charge Of
insanity was placed against him.

The "String" Fiend.

FEssENDEN, N. d., Nov. 18.-On Sun
day morning last, it seemed as though
the heavens we're all aglow with q phos-
phorescent light. Upon close exsmina-
ton, there seemed to be millions OF
shooting stars. Owing to the hour,
about 2 in the morning, but few wit.

On the farm Of James Every, just east
Of town, a meteor imbedded itself ovel
eight feet in the earth. Those who were
awake say they felt the tremor OF the
earth. Every was badly frightened, snd
almost overcome by the shock and sui
phurous smoke. The deep snow Of the
succeeding day almost covered the de-
preston made by the great meteor, but
it is yet plainly discernible. 1t will bt

Officer Paul Voell made an arrest last
night that will doubtless result in nut.
ting q bad man out Of the way of doina
harm for some time to come. Early lssi
night the officer noticed q stranger, who
afterward gave his name as Dave Gil.
bert Of Teton county, in company with
a "booster" for a poker game in the
Stockholm beer hall. Gilbert was e,.
hlbiting quite a roll Of money and lending
some Of it to q booster named Thomas
Burg to play for him in the game. Being
satisfied that the countryman would be
robbed Of his money before the nigh,
was over, the officer called the man
aside and advised him to deposit in some
safe hands. He took tho officers adj.
vice and left S270 at the Ulm house, and
then returned to the beer hall. Burg,
who knew nothing of this transaction,
commenced treating his %new-found &C.
quaintance until he was pretty we'll in.
toxicated. When Gilbert started 10,
his hotel Burg followed him
up. The officer, who was still watching
the proceedings, trailed Bury to an alley,
where he arrested him. In his %overcost
pocket he found a pair of deadly steel
knuckles, which he doubtless in.
tended to use on his friend from the
country il other means failed to put him
in possession of the roll he supposed he
vas still carrying. After locking him
up, a friend OF Burg named Dan Regau,
called to bail him out and the officer put
him also under arrest.

They Are Scared.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Secretary Mer
Ger OF the republican congressional cam
psign committee said today that there
was practically no further doubt that
the committee would continue active
work during the next two years and
probably until 1900. Mercer thinks that
the national committee will ultimately
join with the congressional committee in
the maintenance Of headquarters in
Washington, but this step probably will
not be determined upon before the con-
vening Of congress-.

TO LOCAL OPTION
The People Look for Solution Of the
Long Drawn Out, Bitter
Controversy
over MANITOBA'S EDUCATION
1t Is Believed That The Perfected
Plan Of Compromise Is
Satisfactory.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 18.-The Mauitob
school question, which has more thai
once during the last three years threat
ened a disruption of the Canadian con
federation, has been settled on term
which, it is believed, will be sufficient!
satisfactory to both sides to put an emf
to the controversy.
The following are the main features o.
the terms of settlement, which have beer
accepted by the Manitoba government
and will be embodied shortly In an act
of the legislature Of that province:
All schools are to be national, under
provincial control and subject to the
same regulations and inspection.
The same text books will be used, and
all teachers will be properly qualified by
passing the provincial examination and
taking the prescribed normal school
course.
School work Of q purely secular
character will occupy the whole OF the
school day, except the last half hour,
when the representative OF any religious
denomination will be allowed to come in
and instruct the children beloning to
that denomination, provided the parents
are willing to have them remain. In
cases where people decide not to have
this religious instruction, regular school
work will go IN until the close Of the
school hours. The principle Of local
option is recognized throughout.
A provision that is intended to make
the schools acceptable to the minority is
that districts which have an average at
tendance OF 25 Roman Catholic school
children shall be entitled to have q
teacher of their own denomination who
must be fully qualified according to the
provincial and national school standards.
In districts where children opeak
French wholly, they are to have a teacher
speaking both English and French, so
that they will learn the English as rap
idly as possible. The readers used in
such schools will be bilingual, 30 that
children will grow up from the first &C.
customed to English.

HB IS IN PARIS
But Henry Watters0n Presumes to
Speak lntelligently Of the
Recent Election
and TO ADVISE DEMOCRATS
That They Should Pray and Fast
on JacksOn's Day-AbOut
G%OldOcrats.

PARIS, Nov. lS.-Hon. Henry Waiter
son has remained in this city since th'
election. His views upon the result o
the national campaign, just closed, hav'
been furnished in the following inter
view:
THE election of Mckinley" sale
Watterson today, sis but the beginning
of the end of the struggle, n way anC
another, that has been going on in the
United States for 20 years. 1t began in
the west and south with a demand fol-
fiat money. No sooner was the green.
back party disposed of than the free sill
yer party took its place. Other ques-
tions being at the front and few of our
public men being expert in coinage, free
silver was able to commit to the new
monetary delusion many men who, OK.
cept for their Ignorance OF this particu-
lar question, could never have been
reached and who are sound to the core
as to national credit and a safe, stable,
circulating medium. Among these pub
lie men was Mckinley himself. Leaders
of the fiat money movement, reinforced
by silver mine owners, finally made an
incision into the republican party and
got possession of the machinery
Of the democratic party. This
eliminated in the nomination and de-
feat Of Bryan. With that defeat ends
the free silver frenzy and the danger Of
the lG to l kind. But the elements Of
disorder it has called into being and the
agrarian issues il has eet into motion are
left upon the scene, ard we may be sure
that these will continue their assaults
upon the life of the nation and the in.
tegrity OF the people until they are swept
out of existence in 1900. McKinley's
election settles nothing. 1t merely re-
moves fiat money and deprecated silver
dollars from among the rocks ahead"
MIR. Watterson was asked IL a union
between gold democrats and the repub-
licans could last and be replied: II do
not zee how it can. The differences are
too doctrinal and radical. Mckinley is
al extreme protectionist. Sound money
democrats are sincere revenue reformere.
Certainly craftsmanship is largely an az
fair Of compromise. But to be effectual
and beneficial compromises must be log
ical and just. Nothing could be more
desirable than q union among all law
abiding, order-loving citizens against
whatever and whoever threatens the in
terests OF the country. The Bryan men
ace did not produce such a union.
Organism was simply mobism, and be-
fore such an Issue, whenever raised,
party distinctions must vanish from the
minds Of patriotic men. But the imme-
diats danger over the original disagree
ments are bound to reappear."
what would you advise the demo-
cratic party to do?"
"What l would advise it to do and
what it is likely to do are different mat.
ters. Perhaps it could not do anything
better by way Of q starter than to ap.
point the next 9Th Of January as a day
Of fasting and prayer"

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER II
HAD A DESPERATE BATTLE.

Ex-MayOr Pearson, of Ale
gheny, has just returned from
the hunt, and his experiences
were exciting. While shooting in
Washington county Wednesday
a hawk passed over the horizon.
The mayor Immediately pointed
his gun, andl with a steady aim
brought it down. However, he
failed to kill the bird of prey. He
merely wounded it, but the bird
dropped to the ground and flop
ped around. Mr.. Pearson went
after the bird, which was as big
as a turkey, and while handling
it the hawk caught the eX-mayOr
by his fingers between his beak
and crunched them to the bone.
His hand now is seriously swOl-
len. but he doesn't expect blood
poisoning to set in. With the eX-
mayor was a man from Cecil,
Frank Robinson, and the bird,
after loOsening it's talOns and al
lowing the mayors hand to go
free, quickly inserted its pointed
peak into RObins0n's right limb
and ripped a piece of flesh out.
1t was ONE time before the hawk
was killed by the two men. 1t
was no sooner killed than anOth-
er flew by, and Mr.. Pearson, not
withstanding his wounded hand,
again took aim and fetched the
secOndn one down, having shot
it through the heart. Mr.. Pear.
son, has the two huge birds at his
Allegheny place of business and
prizes them as trophies of war.
He says the people who live in
the vicinity of his hunt thanked
him for having killed the hawks,
because recently the birds had
been making sad havoc among
the chickens on the farms.-Pitts-
burg Post.
