The People Nearest the Pole.

The Etahs, handful of Eskimos
numbering probably 100 persons, are
the most northern people Of the world
They have their abiding place on the
west coast of Greenland, between 76
and 70 degrees north latitude. For
many years after DR.. Kane came home
with his vivid and absorbing story of
these isolated natives they were sup
posed to have built their stone huts
nearer the pole than any other human
beings. 1t is known now, however,
thanks to Bass, Is, Mares and Greely.
that there are numerous traces of hu-
man occupancy as far north as the
eighty second parallel, and SO long ago
was it that they built their huts and
sledges and hunted the bear and walrus
in the far north Of Grant Land that the
Etah natives of today have only the
dimmest and most uncertain traditions

A Mother,s Argument.

'"The most to be regretted act of my
life, says lieutenant commander Of
the navy, "was letter wrote to my
mother when about II years of age
She always addressed her letters to me
as my dear boy I felt at that time I
was man, or very near it, and wrote
saying that her constant addressing me
as boy made me feel displeased. /
received in reply letter full of re-
proaches and tears. Among other things
she said: You might grow to be as big
as Goliath, as strong as Samson, and
as wise as Solomon; you might become
ruler Of nation, or emperor Of many
nations, and the world might revere
you and fear you, but to your devoted
mother you would always appear, in
memory, in your innocent, unpreten-
tious, unself conceited, unpampered ba-
byhood. In those days when I washed
and dressed and kissed and worshiped
you, you were my idol Nowadays you
are becoming part Of gross world by
contact with it, and cannot bow down
to you and worship you. but if there are
manhood and maternal love transmitted
to you, you will understand that the
highest compliment that mother love
can pay you is to call you my dear

did: said that the sheep he received
face with red paint: that the sheep
| were ewes.
Sheriff Cook was called and related
| the conversation he had with kershaw
on Monday in reference to the stolen
sheep and was practically the same as
stated by Mr.. Walrath.
Hiram Hoyt was called and testified
to having sold kershaw some sheep
during the month of December but
they were wethers aud had never sold
him any ewes.
Mr.. Walrath was recalled and the
lariat rope found in his yard was intro
duced as very likely belonging TO the
man who stole the sheep. Carl Tame
hill was called and testified that Ker-
shaw had no sheep in his possession
late Saturday at the place he usually
kept them. NJ. B. Scott was also called
to testify to having seen the lariat rope
or one similar to it, Al this point the
state rested the case. Mr.. Spangler
offered no defense, but asked the court
to dismiss the defendant as no evidence
had been introduced to show that his
client was connected with the crime,
and that there was nothing tangable
whereby he could be held. Mr.. Winsor
had but little to say and simply re-
viewed the evidence introd uced which
to his mind plainly connected the pris-
oner with the crime. Judge Abbey con-
sidered the evidence very strong and
denied Mr.. Spangl-r's motion for a dis
missal. In the light OF past events,
referring to the number of cattle which
have been stolen in this county, Judge
Abbey said he would make the bail
little higher than he would ordinarily
and placed the sum at $500 for his ap-
pearance at the November term OF
cgurt. At the conclusion of the exami-
nation Deputy Brooks took Kershaw to
the jail aud as he passed through the
court room a number Of his old friends
took him by the hand. which had the
effect of cheering him up bit.

Judge Smith Gets - Hearty Enforcement
From His Old County.
Last Saturday the republicans of
Hanson county held their convention
at Alexandria to select delegates to the
judicial convention which meets in this
city Aug. 20. AS an evidence of Mr..
Smiths high standing in that county
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, are published:
Resolved, That we view with par.
donable pride the record OF Frank B.
Smith, from the time he became one
OF our citizens up to the present lime,
and that while he has been called away
from us to fill highly responsible
po ition, we still have the same utter
est in his welfare that we had when he
was one of us.
Being intimately acquainted as we
are, both with his private and public
life, having repeatedly elected him to
positions OF honor and sacred trust we
feel that the record that he has mad az
a judge, is but the logical outcome OF
the found alton which he has laid, both
as an attorney and man.
Feeling then that the people OF Han.
son county, regardless OF politics, de.
sire an opportunity to express their
approval of his elevation to the bench,
We q o hereby request and instruct our

PLACED UNDER ARREST.

Ralph kershaw Was Arrested Today for
Having Received Stolen Property.
(From Wednesdays Daly)
Armed with the necessary papers
Sheriff Cook arrested Ralph kershaw.
the butcher, this morning. The
arrest was probably surprise to some,
while others seemed to be aware that
the blow was coming. The complaint
under which Mr.. Kershaw was arrested
was sworn to by c. w. Walrath and he
is charged with having received stolen
property with the full knowledge that
it was stolen. The circumstances
which ed up to the arrest occurred
early in the spring and Mr.. Walrath
forebore having the arrest made at the
time from the fact that Kershaw was
engaged in the same business and Mr.
Walrath's motives might have been
misconstrued. 1t is stated in the com
plant that two sheep we're stolen from
the yard in the rear of Mr.. Walrath's .
meat market and that the animals we're
delivered the same night to Kershaw's
meat market, and that Mr.. Walrath
has evidence that such ia the fact.
Ralph Kershaw was taken before Judge
Abbey this morning and waived
examination until tomorrow morning,
the judge holding him in bonds of s4OO
for his appearance. The hearing will
be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
at the court house before Judge a Abbey
When arrested Mr.. Kershaw was on
the point OF closing up his business,
having received notification from L.
Beckwith, owner of the building, to
vacate the premises within three weeks.

VILLAGE ODDITIES.
English Towns Distinguished For Being
One of Kind.

English Towns Distinguished For Being
One of Kind.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
township in England is that of Skiddaw,
in Cumberland. 1t contains but one
house, the occupier of which is unable
to exercise the Briton's privilege of vot-
ing because there is no overseer to pre-
pare a voters list and no church or 9TH
er place of worship or assembly on
which to publish one.
The most remote village in England
Is that of Farley-cum- -Pitton. This tru-
ly rural spot is so1a miles from the
nearest railway station. AS contrast
to this may be mentioned the hamlet of
Ystrad, about 10 miles from Cardiff.
This tiny settlement possesses two i'm
portant main roads, two railways and
two large rivers.
A very unique feature is exclusively
claimed by Trimley, small village in
Suffolk. In the one churchyard Of the
parish two churches are to be seen Serv-
Ice is conducted three times a week in
each Of these churches at the same hour.
The deepest we'll in England is found
at Hamilton, in Hampshire. 1t stretch
es $50 feet below the surface of the
earth. About half way down this we'll
shaft is subway, three miles in length,
which leads to the seacoast.
On the top of the parish church tow
er in Bicknoller, Somersetshire, is .
yew tree, now five feet high and still
growing in hardy fashion. It is gen.
orally believed that the tree owes its
origin to a seed dropped by bird.
Perhaps the most splendidly deco
rated church in the kingdom is that Of
Whitley Court, Worcestershire. 1t is en-
tirely constructed of white marble, the
pews are chastely carved, and the pull.
pit is of genuine Carrara marble, richly
paneled with precious stones.
On the village green at Meriden, in
Warwickshire, there is large stone
cross which is supposed to mark the
central point of England. .-Pearson's
