QUEER SUBSTITUTES FOR BULLETS
Nuggets of Gold and WOoden Slugs
Used by Hunters in Emergencies.
From the New York sun.


Used by Hunters in Emergencies.
From the New York Sun.
When a hunter in the old days lost all
his bullets or hadn't any to shoot with
he usually devised substitutes that on oc-
casion served the purpose well. All sorts
of things have been fired at game or In
dams, as the case might be. Old Hank
Ellison, living up in jefferson county, N.
Y, told to his dying day how he was coop
ed up by Indians out west once with a lit
tie lead, lots of powder, belt full OF gold
nuggets, a fine rife, and a bullet mould.
II was on the top of a knoll where his log
cabin had been built, and he had a barrel
OF water and lot Of wood for emergen-
cies. The Indians kept just out of range,
dashing in once in while to draw his fire.
He soon used his bullets up, and then us
ed the gold. He fired nearly half his for
tune at the redskins before they left him
Many a hunter has used pebble in the
hope of getting a close deadly shot. Jack
knives and ranirods have served their time
as missiles Forest and Stream tells about
n hunter who had only a single bullet but
lots Of powder. The bullet shot the horn
of a big buck off, and the buck charged
the man, who took tree top. He spent
half an hour whiting off two-inch lengths
OF branches and putting them into his
rife. Then he rammed them down on the
powder and fired at the maddened deer
His partner came along after awhile with
a belt full of bullets, and. making a run
for the tree, gave a bullet to the shooter
who quickly killed the deer.

an Can Not BE Beaten.
Chicago, Oct. 29.-Chairman Washburne
of the western populist headquarters was
Ia conference most Of to-day with Sena-
tor Butter, chairman of the national COM
mittee. Mr.. Washburne said there was
nothing done by them except TO go over
the general situation, leaving their ticket
in the hands of the voters and to attend
to any details that had been overlooked.
The two chairmen said they had done all
that could be done now and the obstacles
In the way Of complete fusion would have
to remain. The campaign work of the
peoples party national committee is prac-
tically done, and Mr.. Washburne declared
that the probabilities were all in the d.
rection of Bryan's election. He knew of
six combinations of electoral votes in
states that were not safely for Bryan OF
Mckinley, which would work out the sal.
walton Of the silver candidate to the one
combination of the republicans, allow wing
them Illinois as the decisive state. He
confidently declared that Mr.. Bryan could
not be beaten, with the gold democratic
vote offset by the silver republican vote,
as admitted by the opposition, and the
addition of the 100000 populist votes.

THE HONEST SHAKERS AND THEIR
CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

The shopkeeper who cheats US by lying
with regard TO the quality Of his goods,
and the grocer or the butcher who gives
US short weights. Is a thief. However,
their knavery touches nothing but our
pocketbook There is another widespread
form of Misrepresentation of far more
dangerous and villainOus character.
We refer TO the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently ae-.
company medicines. To guarantee med
icine to cure is to brand 1t as a quack
product. II we can guarantee TO cure dis
ease, then we can guarantee everlast-
ing life, for in a large majority of cases
people die of disease, the proportion OF
violent or accidental deaths being very
small.
The Shakers have always been known
as a most upright and honorable people,
ana their success in the manufacture OF
medicines has also been well known. 1t
is therefore not surprising to find them
pursuing very original and novel plan
for the introduction of their remedy for
dyspepsia.
These God-fearing people whose motto
has always been try all things and hold
fast that which is good" have put upon
the market ten-cent sample bottles of
their product, or sufficient to give it
trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so
prompt In its action that for the trivial
sum OF ten cents, a person can usually
determine as to whether or not it meets
the requirements of his case. There are
forms OF dyspepsia which II won't help,
but these are very rare. In most cases
the first dose relieves all distress, and an
increase of appetite at once follows.
All druggists have 1t, and the next time.
you are troubled with Indigestion send out
and try this popular and successful pro-
duct. 1t represents nearly a hundred
years OF patient investigation and study.

CRISIS AT CoNSTANTINOPLE.
THE SULTAN PREPARING FOR, AN
ATTACK ON THE CHRISTIANS.

The Forced Levy the First Step in a
Plan For a General Massacre--rhe
Ambassadors Wire Their Govern
Hncnts for Instructions With a
view to Imminent Happenings.
London, Oct 29.-The Morning Post will
publish tomorrow dispatch from Con-
stantinople, saying that twenty-five kilos
been found by the police in the Taskin
quarter of Pera. Forty arrests have been
made in connection with the discovery.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Daily News telegraphs that the situation
in that city is causing the gravest anx-
iety in diplomatic circles, which are again
discussing the question of the deposition
of the sultan The statement of the Porte
that no forced levy has been made to
procure money with which to buy arms,
and that the trade which was construed
to be an order for such a levy was merely
an appeal to Turkish subjects to vountar-
lily contribute to fund that IL was found
necessary to raise for the armament and
equipment of the imperial troops, is rec
ognized as a thnly yelled invitation to
Mussulmans to prepare for an attack
against the Christians. This cannot fail to
bring about massacres in the provinces
even If the vigilance of the guardships is
able TO prevent the killing of Christians
in Constantinople. The correspondent adds
that after a meeting held on Monday the
diplomats telegraphed to their respective
governments asking for instructions with
a view to imminent happenings.
The Sheik- Ul-Islam, the head of the Mo-
hammedan faith through whom alone can
the sultan be legally deposed, remains at
the Yildiz kiosk, the sultan's residence,
nominally as guest Of his majesty, but
really as prisoner.
Constantlnople, Oct. 29.-The military
commission appointed by the sultan to in
vestlgate the recent riots in this city, has
submitted it's report which merely states
the facts ELECTED, The commission esti-
mates that the number of Armenians mas
sacred was $3.50. and that four hundred
Mussulmans were killed.

We do not want TO be quoted
as 8ayin there is oil III this Val
ley, but we should like to see
some one drive a we'll 1900 to
1000 f. ct to settle it. If the SUR
face indications and the stories
we hear amount to anything,
there surely is oil.
Thirty years ago oil was
found by people who bad not the
means to develope the same indi-
cations, but with the crudest
kind OF boring apparatus
Now, if with the improved
kind OF appliances some one
would only try we honestly think
oil and gas can be found
But unfortunately our people
have not the means and therefore
must wait until the develop
ments farther north have been
made.
Who will come and test in the
Valley for oil?

THE OUTLOOK FOR I'M.
MIGRATION.

How eau we get our share of
the hundreds of families who are
said to be either moving to or
anxious to come among the peO-
pie in the Southern States. We
read in the papers occasionally
that Col. Somebody, or other has
Influenced a large number of peo~
pie to go Into Alabama or Geor-
CIR, but with the solitary ex-
ception of the Swiss colony in
Lewis County, none seem to
want to settle in Tennessee.
What is the reason of the avoid
ance of this State and the passing
it by? Somebody ought to be
able to make location but
whether from apathy, or inability
no one seems to know, or care if
any come or not.
But we do. We are in earn
eat, and anxious to see the thous-
ands of idle acres of land made
productive. Where a country
has SO many peasant conditions
where people can live cheaper
than anywhere else, we want to
see others who would appreciate
and enjoy as we do, the pleasant
location, the terrible soil, tue con-
genial climate, aud all other Of
natures profuse liberality,-all
waiting for men and women to
erjoy them.
What have we to offer in the
Sequachee Valley? An ideal
place of residence, good schools.

thing to be desired, if we can get

Are property holders holding
their lands too high? We hope
not. Is any improper influence
at work to keep the people from
coming to ue? We can hardly
believe any citizen of the State
would be vicious enough to al
low personal prejudice or any
other motive to dwarf their 10y
atty to the interests Of the State
So we continue saying tC

SHIP OF THE MORSE SEA KINGS.
and told Of their discovery of Greenland.
In 9S5 Eric led an expedition of 35 ships to
Greenland, and soon all the habitable flords
of the arctic island were peopled with North
men. Eric's son Lief went home to Nor
way in 900 and was converted to Christian
ity, which wos just then raging in the fer
vor of new idea. He took priest to
Greenland and established churches, the
remains of edifices dating from the elev'
enth century being visible there today.
At the time of Eric's discovery sea
king named Bjarni, voyaging between Ice
land and Greenland, was swept from his
course and driven nine days sail south
west from Greenland, where he sighted
level coast. Lief, the jealous proselyt"r,
started with 35 companions to find the LAID
described by Bjarni. He first hit upon
barren shore, with icy mountains lying in
land. Farther south he struck level,
sandy shore, skirting a forest country, and
still farther south and west a river up
which he sailed to an inland sea. On the
shores of that sea his followers found grapes,
and colony was established that kept up
commerce with the Greenland Norsemen
for 40 years. No certain traces OF this mys.
terious Vineland have been discovered eX.
cept the tower at Newport be so considered,
but the Greenland colonies lasted until the
fifteenth century. Then succession OF
calamities, the ravages of fierce Eskinos,
q pestilence imported from Norway known
as the black death and an impenetrable ice
pack which settled along shore combined
to extinguish the last Norsemen on the
American soil.
Traditions of the Morse discoveries did
circulate among the maritime people of
those early centuries. A rowing Welsh sail,
or prince took the story so straight from
the Norsemen that he sailed with an cX-
pedition away to the west to someunkno"n
land and returned to make il voyage i'll 10
ships, after which he Disappeared from line
