FROST IN ATLANTA.
Makes It's First Autumn Visit-YsI-
Iow Fever Scare Abating.

Atlanta, Oct. 9.-Jack Frost, the very
worst enemy of yellow fever, has arriv-
ed in Atlanta and now bids defiance to
that dread disease.
A number of people noted the arrival
of Jack Frost and early risers yester-
day morning We're surprised to see that
he had taken possession of doOrsteps
and was resting on the grass and rose
bushes.
There is no doubt that there was a
fine frost yesterday morning to be seen
in the low and exposed places. It was
seen by a number of persons who were
stirring about during the early hours
of the morning.
Yellow fever according to eminent
and experienced physicians who have
had years experience with it here, can
not live or spread in Atlanta; neither
can it live while Jack Frost is abroad,
and these two facts taken together,
prove conclusixely that there is no
chance for fever to exc out an exist
ence here.

IDA. SETTLERS INDIGNANT
Indians Said to be SIaug Game
and Even Killing Cattle

Pocatello, Ida, Oct. "a letter from
Challis, in Custer county, says that the
depredations of the bands of Indians
from the Fort Hill and Fort Lemhi
reservations are becoming unbearable
and that any day is likely to see blood
shed between the redskins and white
settlers. For a month past there have
been several hundred Indians in that
section. They have been slaughtering
deer for the pelts in almost untold num-
bers and have even gone so far as to
kill cattle and sheep on the range
They regard neither laws of the state
nor the rights of the settlers and are
insolent and threatening when inter-
fered with by the settlers Custer is
one of the best game counties of Idaho
but has been infested by these Indians
until game is scarce. It is said that
the Indians are also largely responsible
for the forest fires which have been
ra ging in that section for a month past
and which have done damage to the
amount of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
The letter says that the settlers
have endured this thing long enough
and if the government does not see to
the placing of the Indians back on their
reservations, they will take matters In
their own hands and eXterminate the
redskins.

CHESNEY SQUARE
To be Made What Union Square and
Madison Square in New York
Once Were

City Engineer Barnes has completed
the plans for Chesney square and he
keeps them tied up in neat package
with pretty red ribbons.
The square is bound on the east by
Buchanan street, on the west by Lin
coin street, on the south by Nineteenth
street and on the north by Eighteenth
street. Diagonal walks will run from
the four corners and will join in the
center. The main entrance will be at
the corner of Nineteenth and Buchanan
streets and in front of the gate will be
the name done in foliage plants. About
the center of the west side is a band
stand and summer house combined and
in the southeast corner is a pond which
is to be planted with pond lilies. A
meeting of the park association will be
called in a few days to discuss the
plans and make arrangements to go on
with the work

WHERE WE GET LEFT.
United States Bacon Sells for One
Third Price in England.

Washington Oct. 9-Consul Lathrop
at Bristol, in a report to the state de
partment, gives some information con-
cerning United States products in Eng
land.
He says the United States, Canada
and Denmark supply England with ba-
con. The United States enjoys more
than half the trade, sending in 1896, 4
751, ,518 cWts. of 112 pounds. During the
first six months of 1897 there was a
large increase in the shipments from
this country, amounting TO 1,830,l62
cwts.
The report notes that there is scar
city of pigs in England and in Denmark
and says the United States and Cana
da are expected to keep up the increas-
ed shipments.
The finest grades of English bacon
sell for Is to II cents per pound whole
sale, Canadian and Danish II to IA
cents, and United States at from 612 70
s cents. These difference in prices are
constant. The highest prices of Amer
lean bacon do not even touch the low
est quotations for Canadian and Dan
ish. The difference is in the quality and
suita bility to the taste of the market.
Canadian and Denmark have made a
careful study of the needs of the Eng
lish market and have gone deliberately
to work to get the demand. On the
other hand the United States have dis
regarded entirely the taste of the con-
sumer and deprecated values are the
result.
Leather is a product which has made
an appreciable advance in England
The colored leather of Chicago and Mil
waukee have had the largest sales
Glace goat and sheep leather from
Pennsylvania have also found an en-
larged market almost entirely at the
expense of the French and German
manufacturers. The United States has
supplied a better article at a less price.
There has also been an Improvement in
fancy feathers from Newark, N. J.
Among the competitors of the United
States in the leather trade in England
is Mexico. which is sending some ex-
cellent qualities. Canada is increasing
its sole leather trade in England.

WoLooTT,s MISSION.

The work of the American bimetallic
commission which has spent the sum
Tner in Europe in an effort to secure the
cooperation of foreign governments in
a plan to reinstate silver as one Of the
money metals of the world, seems
about to come to a close. Present in
dications point strongly to an utter
failure to obtain the object sought.
The commission found France both
willing and ready to join the movement
and the government as an evidence of
good faith appointed representatives to
assist in urging the matter on England,
which country was recognized from the
first as the stumbling block.
A strong bimetalIic sentiment was
found among the German people, but
the kaiser's government would do moth
ing until England was heard from.
Having accomplished all they could in
these two countries. the commissioners
laid their proposition before the Brit
ish government They We're informed
that the most that could possibly be
conceded would be the reOpening of the
Indian mints to silver and the holding
by the Bank of England of One-ffth of
its reserve in the white metal
A reply to Senator WOlcott's propo-
sition was delayed, therefore, until In
dia could be communicated with. Pend
ing consultation with the Indian gov
ernment the governor of the Bank Of
England was asked to define the posi-
ton of that institution in relation to
the subject under consideration. The
governor announced that the bank
would convert one-ffth of its reserve
fund into silver on condition that
France and the United States open
their mints to unlimited coinage at 1512
to L
Strong opposition to the whole move
nent was at once aroused among the
moneyed interests of England. AS
there is a strong and growing senti-
ment in favor of bimetallism among
the working classes of Britain, and the
government fears to run counter to this
power in Some things, there is no tell
ing how the matter might have ended.
But the whole situation appears to
have suddenly changed. Word is said
to have come from India that the re-
opening of the mints to silver is not
to be thought of. If this proves true,
the whole thing is at an end and our
commissioners may as well come home
Whatever the answer of India is it
has been received and the British gov
ernment has informed the American
commissioner that it's reply will be
forthcoming at once.
1t will be a matter of some satisfac-
ton to know where we stand this early
in the new administration It will give
Mr. Mckinley time to carry out what
ever further policy he has decided up
on.
In the meantime gold is flowing in
from Europe at the rate of 81, 900 a

MONEY ORDERS PAY
And the Department Will Establish
More Money Order Offices.


Washington. Oct. 9.-The postof1ce
department has adopted a policy of
general extension of the money order
system.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath believes that any postOf1ce
wanting money order facilities should
be given them. COMPLAINTS have been
constantly filed by business houses
that their correspondents at villages
are unable to send money orders be-
cause their postottices have no such ia
cilities.
During the past fiscal year almost
p 600 600 money orders were issued,
amounting to little less than $50, ,000,-
coo. The international money orders is
sued during the year, purchased prln-
cipauy by WOrkingmen sending money
to friends or relatives in foreign coun-
tries, amounted to $15, 600. 000 while the
amounts drawn on the United states
by foreign countries did not exceed So
000 600.
During the Harrison administration
it is stated at the department there
was a large extension of money order
offices. about 10000 having been estab-
lished. During the last four years the
number was Increased by only 1900 on
the theory, it is said, that there were
too many postofhces. The total num-
ber Of money order offices now in Oper-
alton is about p 600, and the number
will be increased to 10000 before the
next fiscal year.
General superintendent Metcalf Of
the money order department said that
the cost to the department of maintain
ing a money order postofdce is less
than cents a year even il the office
transacts no order business. If it is
sues money orders amounting to $40
it is source of revenue and helps pay
the general postal expenses. The mon
ey order business now brings a revenue
OF $1,000, 600 in fees, mostly net, and ac-
cOrdingly the more money orders issued
the more revenue.
The Russian empire, which has re-
Gently esta bHshed a money order serV-
ice, has just submitted to this govern
ment a proposition asking for con-
VentiOn, or agreement, for a money or
der exchange between Russia and the
United States similar to the money or
der exchanges now in operation be-
tween this government and 81 other
countries.
The details of the arrangement are
now being perfected and it is probable
that money orders can pass between
the two countries early in the coming
year. The only difficulty in the ar
rangement is the payment of the ball
ances, as the exchange issued here is
only in paper roubles, which differ in
value from gold roubles- This obstacle.

DABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
DAT the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofuIous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods SarsaparilIa. also took Hoods
SarsapariHa, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofuIous sores since he was cured by
Hoods sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. 8. s. WRoTEN, Farming

BARBER SHOP JOINTS.
a Little Business on the Side Carried
on by Some

The Union BARRIERS are up in arms.
They say that every day dozens of
people come into their shops and ask
for beer. Some come in to be shaved
and think that a glass of beer is to be
furnished with every ten cent shave.
Others come in and blankly ask where
the beer is kept and when they find
there is none they are surprised. The
BARRIERS say that several shops around
town do a liquor business in their back

KANSAS CIGY,s CARNIVAL

Kansas City's Carnival is over. Its
Priests of Pauas parade was short and
commonplace; its flower parade was
barely half as good as Topeka's and the
crowds pressed so close to it as to dis
organize it; but its Karnival Krewe pa
rade on Thursday afternoon was mag
nificent and redeemed the whole week
The display of splendid costumes was
almost endless. There were thousands
of men gaiiy dressed on horseback,
many beautiful and many comic floats.
The KarnivaI Krewe parade was wor-
thy Of Kansas City in every way.
