ennial yellow dog near them, watch
the first train they have ever seen In
their lives pass by. The dog, on
hearing the engine, and seeing II
rush on. bristled up his back and
ran savagely after it.
DO you think Tige will ketch that
iniin?" asked the wife.
II dunno. What bothers me Is
what will he do with it if he does
ketch it," is the drawing reply.
The direct lesson Of Gov. Hoard's
lecture was the necessity for build
ing up the spirit Of patriotism in the
schools and churches and the duty
Of every citizen to take an active IN
terest in politics. Law, he said, was
the law which was enforced, and
public opinion was what caused the
enforcement of the law, and from
this followed the evident necessity
of uurturing the spirit Of patriotism
in the hearts Of the people. TINS
was a great nation, but In the face OF
impending troubles the difficulty
was that it was long on politics ana
short on patriotism.
What is politician who buys the
peoples votes, trades offices and at
tempts to corrupt the public morals?
He is the beginning Of a traitor
The soldier who in war times was
Indifferent to his duty while on
the picket was il traitor, and the
man in office who was false 20 his
duty TO the people was as great a
traitor. The idea that public Office
was the place for private enrich
ment should find no dwelling place
in this country. Patriotism was
needed to drive the money changers
and tricksters out Of our temples.
| There were men who had pursued
politics so steadily for gain that the
entire sense Of patriotism was swat
lowed by the all-pervading idea of
party duty. In the name OF party
| duty wrongs were committed that
| under other circumstances would
not be tolerated. IF we did not dc
our duty in helping to direct politics
we were unworthy of the heritage OF
| n free country.

Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian Pre-
mier, and other Canadian officials
was a social success but viewed
the stateman's standpoint it was at
best partial failure. 1t seems that
Sir Wilfrid ought to have known in
advance that he could not succeed
in blutfing the Z. ;. into buying
Canada's consent tc the negotiation
of treaty that would result in stop
ping open sea sealing for q time, with
a a-favored reciprocity treaty
and the concession of other things
that are in dispute between the two
governments. If he didn't he must
have been much surprised man at
the promptness with which he was
enlightened when he made his bluff.
Ex-Secretary Foster, who has been
in charge of the interests of the t. ;.
in these sealing negotiations, says
we gained material victory in the
agreement which was reached by
the seal experts, and that the nego-
tiations with the Canadian govern
ment will be continued, and that he
believes the contentious of the L. s
will sooner or later be recognized.

wASHInGTOE LETTER.
From our rcgiilnr correspondent
WAsHIsGTOs, u. G., Nov. %, 1871

Owing to the nearness of the as
sembling # congress President Nc
kinley has been compelled to am
nounce his inability to see any cal
lers, except those with whom he
wishes to confer, until he finishes his
annual message to congress. In or
der to show that this would give no
advantage to any particular seekers
after appointment it was ut the
same time announced that no more
important appointments would be
made until after congress convenes.
The president has his message well
under way and hopes to get it fin
ished in good time.
;
Secretary Wilson is much pleased
at the action of Attorney General
McKenna in refusing to comprise Il
numer OF cases againsta firm for vi
olating the law against selling cleo
margarine as butter. Speaking of
the case he said: II am gratified
that the government is giving evil
denco that it will strictly enforce the
law. The scientists in the Agricul-
tural colleges are teaching the peo-
Pile the best way to make fine butter
aud the buyer should know whether
he is buying butter or oleomargarine.

1t l. said that Bro Crawford of the

The error in the above is the state

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant neces-
sity of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate. The
mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Roog is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for it's wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a

THE STURGEON.
Sone of the Points of SinGuIarity
About the Fish.

Sone of the Points of SinguIarity
About the Fish.
The sturgeon is naturally an inhabi-
tant of the large rivers and brackish
water of the north temperate zone, more
particularly of Europe and America.
The Sacramento. the San Joaquin, Rus
sian river and the Columbia on the west
and the Hudson and Delaware on the
east are very favorable to its produc
ton in great quantities.
The Importance of the fishery to San
Francisco is shown by the amount
brought into the market, in the first
three months of last year, being 49,
76t pounds.
This interesting and curious fish has
many points of singularity. Its armed
exterior skeleton seems to point to its
being one of the few descendants of the
ganoid or armor-platedf fishes of the pre-
historic ages. The position of the
mouth is much the same as in the shark
rather that of the remora,. or sucker
family. The flesh, too, is remarkable
as being q reddish and yellow and part
white. English fishmongers call it
beef and veal" In that country it
is usually cooked by baking with a
stut1ing of fine herbs.
There are several varieties of the
sturgeon family, the sturgeon proper
(accipenser sturio), the beluga and the
sterlet being the principal, the two lat
ter kinds belonging to the Russian
waters.
Some IS years ago there were mil
lions of surgeons in San Francisco bay
and tributary waters, principally in the
mouths of the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin rivers, where they lay on the mud
dy bottom feeding on CLAIMS and bottom
fishes. The Chinese, who have an in
ordinate fondness for gelatinous sub
stances, such as isinglass, sea swallow
nests, trepangAetc., imported from
China a very deadly hook for capturing
the sturgeon, which they caught solely
for the marrow in its peculiar back
bone. They stripped out the backbone
and threw away the rest. Some of the
bacllbones were sent to China, where
isinglass is made from them and also a
highly tenacious glue. The principal
use, however, is for making gelatinous
soup.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Business Outlook as Reported by
Schwartz, Dupee & Co.
CHICAGO. Ill Sent. 7 1884,

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. Z 1897.
The prediction for higher market for
wheat made in the last letter of this
correspondence has been more than
verified by the events of the past two
days.
December wheat, W hich closed Satur-
day night at 93s, opened today fully two
cents higher, and there is nothing in
the present outlook to indicate mater
tally lower prices in the immediate
future. On the contrary reports to
Schwartz, Dupee & Co. from all parts of
the wheat consuming world are that
there is a marked scarcity, with indi-
cations that d worse condition of affairs
is eminent. The Mark Lane Express,
which is an authority in matters per-
tanning to food supply and demand in
Europe says that present wheat prices
are nothing like as high as they will he
when the outcome of the present short
age in all parts of the world is present
ed to the buyer. From Russia comes
word that not only is the present crop a
poor one, but the drouth is so severe
that farmers experience great difficulty
in preparing the ground for seeding.
This phase Of the situation will appeal
to many American agriculturists who
find themselves in the same plight, and
the continued lack of rain in our wheat
states when it is imperatively needed
for the planting of winter wheat is
likely 10 become a serious factor in the
situation here.
The English visible supply of wheat
decreased 35l 900 bushels in the last
week, and our own decrease was 656, 900
bushels. These figures should COM
mand attention from those who have
learned to depend upon the United
States for all the wheat the world may
need, irrespective of the conditions
elsewhere. The demands of Europe
have evidently not been overestimat
and it was these demands, when there
was promise of an abundant harvest in
this country that put wheat to Il dollar
while ago. If the planting of winter
wheat is to be seriously impeded by
lack of rain Il does rot take Il prophet
to foresee the future of the cereal. Pri
mary receipts are averaging only about
half what they were Il year ago. The
report this morning for two days was
2,400 900 bushels as against ?, 443 900
bushels for one day year ago. 1t is
natural to suppose that with September
wheat selling at 96 or better i'll Chicago
and December at % there is a good
movement of the stocks at hand, and
therefore the low primary receipts
mean much to those who look below the
surface.
Corn has held its own we'll, but its
situation is radically different from that
of wheat, because of q good crop this
year and a heavy accumulation from
the crops of 1895 and 1896. At present
prices the American farmer must re-
ceive a vast amount of money for the
corn in sight even though weather con-
ditions remain favorable. In the event
of killing frosts prices would, of course,
go much higher, and these are within
the range of pos siblllties.
