Meantime the Cross Creek Co. and Van WiclSle S5 Co. were mining either side of sea of water. They carried bore holes ahead of them to avoid catastrophe. Superintendent Kreighler directed his men to pnt a hole through the roof of the gangway. To their utter astonishment they ran into the long lost mine after drilling five feet The men had to run for their lives. The water has already flooded Beaver Meadows ard Cole raine, but it will be cleared in q short time.

HIS ATTITUDE.
Speculation as to What Cleveland Will Do About the Coming Convention.
FASTENING WORK ON SHIPS.
Secretary Herbert Anxious to Have Certain War Vessels Finished Revision of Gillian Tariff Laws-New
 Two-DoIlar BiIls.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. There is much uncertainty here regarding the atti- tude of President Cleveland and the ad- ministration in relation to the Indian- apolis convention. Positive and re- liable" information, given with a knowing shake of the head, is fur nished that Mir Cleveland will try to prevent the nomination of an inde- pendent ticket by the gold dem- ocrats at Indianapolis, ahd again that he will strongly advo- cate a nomination. The statement came yesterday from an unusually reli- able source that Mr. Cleveland is likely to write letter which may lead the convention at Indianapolis to be satis- lied with simply making a declaration of principles and leaving the gold democrats free to vote for Mckinley or go fishing. This statement is strength ened somewhat by an interview pub hshed yesterday morning with Senator Palmer, in which that venerable statesman expresses a doubt that nom- nations will be made at Indianapolis. There is no doubt that when Secretary Carlisle left here to visit the president at Gray Gables he was opposed to third ticket.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Secretarv Herbert is anxious 10 hasten work on a number of the principal warships in course of construction.

This order sug- gests that the completion of the ships be pushed will all convenient speed.

The Canton News gives publication
to the following interesting facts:
On fourth class merchandise, the rail
roads charge 80 cents per hundred from
Milwaukee to Pierre, and they charge
4S cents per hundred from Sioux Falls
to Pierre. The rate from sioux Falls to
Alcester, about Tfty miles, is 90 cents
per hundred, and the rate from Milwau.
kee to Alcester, about 500 miles, is ex-
actly the same as frsm Sioux Falls, 90
cents. The railways either haul out Of
Milwaukee $50 miles for nothing, a thing
no one supposes they are able to do. or
they charge too much from Sioux Falls.
The rate from Sioux Falls to Garretson
and Sioux City to Garretson on some
classes of freight, are just the same, al
though the distance from Sioux City to
Garretson is nearly three times as great
as from Sioux Falls. A friend shipped
the writer a barrel of apples some time
since from Baraboo, Wis. The freight
from Baraboo to Sioux Falls was IS
cents and the freight from Sioux Falls to
Canton 0ess than one-twentieth of the
distance from Baraboo to Sioux Falls
Was one dollar. Oh, no., the railroads do
not discriminate against the people Of
the state, but will they pleace explain
these figures?

BOYH Read This.

Chauncey Depew, against whom no
one would think Of charging a puritan
IN spirit, speaks as follows on the tenn
perance question: twenty-five years
ago l knew every man, woman and child
in Peekskill. And it has been a study
with me TO mark boys who started in
evesy grade Of life with myself, to see
what has become of them. | was up last
fall, and began to count them over, and
it was an instructive exhibit. Some of
them became clerks, merchants, nj
facturers. lawyers, and doctors. 1t is
remarkable that everyone OF those that
drank is dead; not one living of my
age. Barring a few who were taken by
sickness, every one who proved q wreck
and wrecked his family, did it from run
and no other cause. OF those who were
church-going people, who were frugal
and thrifty, every single one OF them
without an exception, owns the house
in which he lives, and has something
laid by, the interest OF which, with his
house, would carry him through many a
rainy day. When a nan becomes de-
based with gambling, rum or drink, he
does not care; all his finer feelings are
crowded out. The poor women at home
are the ones who suffer-suffer in their
tenderest emotions, suffer in their
affections for those whom they love
better than life"
1t will be a great blessing il boys will
not only read this, but will determine
that, with Gods help they will never
drink the first glass.-Young Reaper.
The cause OF total abstinence re-
ceives this bit OF testimony from the
Chicago Herald: "Any one coming in
to contact with the swifter currents of
] city life will learn that there are hun
dreds Of men who abstain from drinking
not because they have certain objects in
life, and have learned by experience or
observation that the use Of whisky
would interfere with their plans. They
are we'll content that other men in their
same line Of business, or those with
whom they deal, should drink, il they
want to drink, but a. calculating sports
and spectators, they have gone over the
records and have decided hat the liquor
habit is q handicap"
