Unique Election Wager.

The sequel to a unique election
wager occurred at Shelbyville, Ind,
one day last week, when John Deitzer
was buried. About forty years ago,
when Deitzer first settled in Shelby
vile, he made the acquaintance of
Thomas A. Hendricks, who became
Vice President of the United States
when Grover Cleveland was first
elected President in 1884. He be-
came a great admirer of Hendricks,
who was then only poor lawyer, and
when in 1872 Hendricks ran for Gov
ernor Of Indiana, Deitzer bet every
thing he had on his election. The
last bet he made was $50 against a
coffin with John Cummins, local
undertaken. Hendricks was elected,
and Cummins took Deitzer's measure
and made him the coffin, which the
winner of the bet has kept in his
house ever since, awaiting the coca
sion to use it, which came last week.

Says the Chicago Times Herald
Gold production in the United States
has increased with marvellous rapidity
during the current year The craze
of the Klondike River regions should
not obscure the great facts as they
exist. Klondike's total yield for 1897
seems roughly, to be about SIS, 900, 600.
That is a comfortable sum, but it is a
mere nothing when compared with the
wonderful output of the yellow metal
in the United States. This gold from
Alaska is all what is called placer, a
Spanish word meaning an open space
where pure or nearly pure gold is
found. What may be the production
of Alaska when machinery and mining
engineers have done their work there
is no telling. But it does not matter
much--the human race can stand all
the gold Alaska can produce for some
time to come.

INC squaw and the CIgnr.

A sleeping car passenger on a train
running into Portland, Oregon, strolled
into the smoking car and took seat
just ahead of a squaw. He was puff
ing vigorously at cigar, and the In
dian woman got more of the smoke
than she liked She protested in
pantomime to the conductor, who, be-
ing something of n wag, indicated that
she should make use of an immense
umbrella she had by bringing it down
on the mans head. She naturally
presumed that the conductors author
ity was all-suficient and forthwith
acted on his suggestion with native
vigor The mans hat was knocked
down over his eyes and all but ruined,
and the cigar was knocked spinning
galley west. When he got out of his
hat he turned with not inexphcable
ferocity upon his assailant, but the
squaw merely looked at him with alb
original immobility of countenance,
and wouldn't understand either Eng
lish or sign language, and while the
other passengers were conyulsed with
merriment he had to retreat to another
car. New York Sun.
