Immediately after the arrival OF the

yesterday morning with the PROPOSE

and decided to offer a half section.
The matter will come up before the
committee tonight at o'clock, at
which time hand fight will be made
in behalf of Wellington. John W.
Haughey and G. L. Elliott went to
Topeka this morning. 0rie Morse of

night, but only few Of them were
able to go. Judge Ferguson was sick
and W. j. Lingenfelter was detained
by the sickness Of his child. Probate
Judge Doubleday was unable to leave
his duties. However, the interests Of

Pennsylvania Fox Hunting.

While there is a general impression
that Americans do not go in for fox
hunting as do the Englishmen, it is by
all odds the most popular winter sport
in Pennsylvania There are, in the
southeastern counties, as fine packs of
hounds as can be shown in England,
though fewer in number, and some
horses that hold their own against the
best Of English importations over as
"stiff' country as that hunted by the
famous Quorn pack, of which the Earl
of Lonsdale is master. At recent run
$50 couples of hounds. were out and
about 200 riders. just now there is con-
sternation among owners Of the Penn
sylvania hounds because of an outbreak
Of rabies in the STAFFORD Hunt Kennels
which has necessitated the killing of
the entire pack Of %, many Of them
dogs imported from noted English
packs A rabid cur bit one Of the
hounds a few weeks ago, and this dog,
after recent run, attacked other occu-
pants Of the kennels. So all were killed
as q matter Of safety. There is fear that
other hounds in other packs have been
bitten, and that an outbreak Of hydro
phobia throughout the hunting district
may follow. All possible precautions
to prevent this disaster have been taken,
and hounds which have been exposed
are to be isolated for a time. New

Rock Pictures IN Oregon.

W. B. Whittemore Vile in Alturas,
Or, recently discovered some remark
able hieroglyphics about Is miles north
east from the north end of Warner val
ley on the edge of what is locally known
as the "desert'' in Lake county. Mr..
Whittemore says the hieroglyphics had
been cut with sharp instrument in the
surface of the hard basaltic rock. They
cover the face of the bluff for distance
of about three miles and consist of pic
lures Of Indians with bows, arrows and
spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs and
wolves, geese, ducks, swans and reptiles
ofvariouskinds. Intermingled with these
animals are characters which, of course,
he could not decipher. He says that the
execution of the pictures was very good,
and he is satisfied that it could not
have been the work of ordinary Indians.
Throughout the entire distance the char
acters and pictures are in rows.
The Indians of the vicinity have ne
knowledge Of the meaning of the hero
glyphics or Of the people who ages age
chiseled them on the surface of the
rocks. From the description given, the
picture writing bears alose resem-
blance to that found in Mexico and Cen
trail America. If this superstition is true,

and they are set exactly like actual

in riveted points are all familiar styles.
Some of the handsome jet and iridescent

used as decorations all over the cloth or
other costume.

written and illustrated By the English
artist, r. Talbot Kelly. Mr.. Kelly says
In his article: Desert life induces habits
OF abstemiousness. Rising with the sun,
. dish OF cumis, or mares milk, and 8
small cup Of black coffee are the only
refreshments generally partaken Of. The
day is spent following ones pursuits,
and, with the exception Of an occasional
cup Of coffee and some very light
snack, s one has no meal ef any kind
till after shutdown. One qui1kly becomes
accustomed to long fasting and absti-
hence from any form Of drink, and the
simple dinner at night is more keenly
enjoyed in consequence. Though plain,
the food is excellently cooked, and usu-
ally consists of a huge tray Of rice, over
which is poured dish Of SIENNA, or liq-
uid butter. Round the tray are pigeons
stuffed with nuts and spices, and the
pyramid of rice is surmounted by a lamb
or kid, frequently cooked whole Boiled
beans, and perhaps a few fresh herbs,
appear occasionally, which, with the
usual fiat loaves and large dish of riz-
bil-laban, or boiled rice pudding, COM
plete the meal. Salt is seldom seen-a
distinct privation- except on the first
day of your visit, and drinking water is
often scarce. After dinher huge fire of
corncobs, or sticks and camel dung, is
lighted in the tent, about which we
gather and enjoy the after dinner cup Of
coffee and a smoke, and, should've. be
IN the mood, talk.
The Arabs have one excellent point of
etiquette. Talk for talk S sake is not ex-
pected. Ever ready for yarn, they
eagerly respond SHOULD you wish to con-

The idea OF fire in ones tent may
strike some of my readers as superfu-
ity, but the nights are often intensely
cold, and after bathing in the sun all
day, with the thermometer at So to zoo
degrees in the shade, the sudden fall Of

THE NAM CAME BACK.
And For Awhile the Doctor Could Not
FL See the HumOr Of It.

And For Awhile tho Doctor Could Not
See the HumOr Of Il.
It is familiar contention among
psychologists that an incident once
oroughly presented to the human
mind cannot be effaced from the mem
Tory. In this connection DE-. Cyrus Ham:
| lin, the well known missionary to Tur-
key and the founder Of Robert college,
Constantinople, is reported BY the Wash
ington Star as telling humorous story.
Among Dr.. Hamlin's friends and
substantial helpers was q Philadelph
gentleman, whose name could not be re-
called by the doctor, who was then in
Turkey, Every incident connected with
their interviews, even to the street and
number Of the house in which his bene-
factor had lived, was as plain to the
doctor as If the events had occurred but
yesterday, but to save his life he could
not think of the gentleman's name.
As time went on this failure Of mem
DRY caused him serious annoyance, and
he adopted all sorts of expedients to
bring back the name. He would take the
letters Of the alphabet one at a time and
think over all the surnames he had ever
heard, but to no avail Then in his
imagination he would start down the
street where his friend had lived, enter
the house, go through the ceremony Of
introduction and repeat word for word,
as nearly as he could remember it, the
conversation which had taken place be-
tween them, but still he could not recall
the name.
When, after 80 years, he returned to
his native land on visit, he took the
trouble to go to Philadelphia, in order
to settle the question which had. been
puzzling him SO long: He visited the
house, but found only strangers, who
could tell him nothing of the people
who had lived there so many years be-
fore. So finally DR.. Hamlin abandoned
the search, thinking that here at last
was case where something had been
thoroughly presented to the human
mind, and as thoroughly efaced.
One night, after he had returned per-
manently to this country, he attended a
large dinner Where were several dis
tinguished psychologists. During the
evening the conversation turned upon
the subject of memory, and the we'll
known scientific principle was discussed.
This was too good an opportunity to be
lost and DR.. Hamlin proceeded to relate
his experience at length, as an example
of the opposite kind.
He was, of course, listened to with
great interest, and as he approached the
end of his story he said, with great i'm
pressiveness:
Gentlemen, there was an incident
presented to my mind more than 40
years ago, and have not been able to
think of the name of Captain Robinson
from that day to this.
When his climax was greeted by a
hearty burst Of laughter, the worthy
doctor looked round in great astonish-
ment, for he thought he had told a
pretty good story and could see nothing
in it to provoke mirth. TWAS some time
before the truth Of the matter dawned
upon him. ~....~s
