iting his son Stephen and his daugh-
ter, Mrs. j. A. Nichols. Mr.. Laktn
has been resident of the Puget sound
country for the last seven or eight
years. During most of that time he
has resided at Bremerton, the new
town near the site of the United
Sta tes navy yard at Port Orchard.
There are quite u number OF Little
Falls and Morrison county
people living there, among whom
are John and Samuel GOrst Iard
families, Jesse and Samuel sPhillips
and families, all of whom. he says,
are doing well. A son of Samuel
Phillips and a son of John Gorst are
in Alaska. The people III, that VI
cinity, he says, kno W but little more
about Alaska than we do here, and
there ia not such great rush from
that locality as reported. Mr.. La
kin says times are growing better
there. but there are still plenty OF
men for all the work that is being
done. Mr.. Lakin sold his residence
property at Bremerton, and has not

GAVE WRONG NAMES.
The Identity Of the, two
Bicycle Thieves Is Now 1.
Known.

It is now learned that the boy
bicycle thief, now in Jail for the par
he took in the theft Of the two
bicycles in this city Saturday nigh t
did not tell the truth In regard tC
the indentity Of himself and his com
paniOn In crime. ..
He said his name was Waite
Green, and that he was son of q
widow living three miles from Sauk
Centre. He gave the name of hie
partner as William Williams, and
stated that he had known him but q
few weeks. These stories are all
false. The name Of the boy in jail
is Geer, and his parents live about
three miles from Swanville. His
father was in the city yesterday to
see what could he done in the 0Oy's
behalf. The name Of the other thief
instead of William Williams, as
given by the boy. is Martin McCourt-
ney, a brothe -in-law oi the boy. and
he lives in the same vicinity. Nc
ia said to bc professional
thief, and in fact, it has been stared
that the whole outfit are considered
Il crooked lot by the people .living
in their neighborhOod.
An officer returned last night from
4 search for McCourtney, but failed
to find any trace OF him, and as it Iis
pretty certain that McCOurtney
knows by this time that his identity
Is known, it is probable that he has
left the country and ia perhaps now
many miles away.
Young Gcer's hearing has been set
iOr next Saturday.

Back From Georgia.

George CWltis, one OF the old
soldiers who LIFT Nnrrison county
about Il year ago for ,lIrOlu soldiers
colony ut Fitzgerald, Gu, is will, us.
again having, arrived here on the
10th inst. by team. He was three
months ON the road.
Mr.. COultis does not care to dis
cuss Georgia, to any extent, but
from u few remarks he made it ia
very evident that he found that
place far from what lie expected in
every respect.
In answer to question In regard
to wages for luboring men, Mr.,
COuliis said that farm ha nds received
40 and 50 cents per day. Wages in
the mills were from so cents to $1.M
per day, the latter figures being pofd
for the more skilled luborcrs in the
mills. Provisions were very high.
Mr.. Coultis' family were in poor
health there, and his Oldest son died
in Tennessee on the way here. Two
children and his wife were very Ill
when he LETT Georgia. and did not re-
cover until he nearly reached the
Ohio river.
Mr.. COultis saws, be does not want
to say anything further than to adj
wise anyone not to 20 there. In re-
gard to other parties from Little
Falls, who were reported to be do
ing well, Mr.. Coultis said that they
would be back here II they could sell
out and realize enough to bring
them back.
or the Confederate veterans Mr..
Coultis spoke In the highest terms,
saying that they and the Union
veterans were the best Of friends.
The old soldiers of the south did
every thing possible to assist the
northerners, but the generatiOn born
since the war cherished the old AMI
mostly for the northerner. Mr..
Coultis, in conclusion. said that lie
did not think the climate Of Georgia
as good for Il nortl,f RI man, and al
no stated that II the people Of this
locality lived as economically as
they are compelled to do In
Georgin, they would all be inle-
pcndently rich in u few years.

farmers were ell busy with their
harvest. Harvesting has been in
progress for more than q week, and
the middle of next will see but little
grain standing in any part Of Nor
risOn county. Reports that have
come in, during the last few days in
dictate that the wheat crop is better
than was expected a week before
harvest began. 1t is estimated by
some that Morrison county will
average fully twenty bushels to the
acre.
Wheat has rapidly advanced dur
ing the past week, todav's quota
tions being 9 cents above those OF
last Friday. Receipts were light,
and will be until after the stacking
is done, when it is expected that all
old wheat will be- marketed, especially
If the present prices continue.
Flour and other mill products
have advanced also. Best flour is
40 cents per barrel higher than last

A Coincidence Worth Noting

ern wheat brought the highest price
there on Tuesday that it has sold
for since 1892, the price being S5Xc.
This is very gratifying news. 1t is
quitea acoincidencet thatas soon as the
Republicans went out of power.
wheat went down and did not rise
to the same price again until Nc
Kinley was running the government.
This is a coincidence but 1t is
