WORK OF FIENDS.
jacob Weinnnd of St. Louis Horribly
 Murdered.

St. Louis, Dec 2S.-The post mortem held on the body of Jacob Wienand, who was found dead in his kitchen Sunday evening, revealed peculiarly fiendish method the murderers had re- sorted to to get rid of the old man. When found Wiena1d, besides being gagged and bound, had a towel tightly twisted about his neck. The pos- mortem showed that far down in the old mans throat, tightly embedded at the bronchial tubes, was a wad of thick cloth which had been wrapped with horse hair. Fingers could not have reached that far and a stick was probably used to ram the wad down. Then the old man was garroted with the towel.
 In 1893 a soldier at Jefferson bar racks, who had saved abouA. $1.O00 which he carried in his poch was found murdered in his room. [e had been bound, a wad of cloth aussA horse hair pushed down his thrQ and ohoked to death with twist towel. The similarity of the sun- day evening with that vsoldier four years ago has causM 6xcitement in police circles. Every effort is be- ing put forth to discover Weinand's murderers, supposed to have been two, but the only clues found are a button and pieces of cloth torn from the coat of one of them.

There is No Danger of StarIa-
 ton in the klOndyke
SUFFERING WAS AYERTED
By the Departure of Hundreds
 From Dawson City
The Proposed Government Roller Expedition Said to be Unnsces- sary-No Recent Discoveries of Gold Reported

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 28.@There will be no starvation at Dawson City this winter and the sending of relief ex- pedition by the United States govern ment becomes unnecessary. This Is the unanimous expression of thirty persons who arrived here today from Dawson on the steamer Al Kai. They came to Dyea, where they took the steamer in different parties. The las; party to leave Dawson left on Novem- Der 25. All of them came up the frozen Yukon and out over the Chil- coot pass.
 All say there is more alarm over the food situation outside than is felt by the people at Dawson, who. while they have not a surplus, have suffi- cient supplies to last them until spring. Whatever danger of starva- ton existed has been averted by the exodus of a large number of people from Dawson to Fort Yukon and the departure of great many people up the river to the coast. AS has been reported the most serious shortage is candles and oil. This will reduce the output of the mines, as an absence of artificial light will prevent their be- ing worked to their full capacity.
 The amount of gold brought out from Dawson by those who arrived this morning is estimated all the way from $1O,OOO to $15,Oo0. Nearly all of the arrivals will return in the spring after purchasing a new lot of supplies. No new gold discove ies are reported.

Another Hunt Organized for the Mys

J. H. Watson, writing to The Re- publican from Canon Diablo, says that on recently passing through Silver City, N. M, to look at some mining property in the Santa Ritas, he met Walter King, cook, on his way to the Superstition mountains to try to find the lost Dutch mine. He was ac- companied by an old Mexican who claimed to have worked in the mine. Kings errand caused a great deal of excitement about Silver City and a number of prospectors are following them 1t was believed that King had a map of the country.

The most senseless habit ever
contracted by man-beasts would
disdain it's that of growing elo-
quent in the most outlandish,
meaningless set of words imagin-
able when matters do not 60 just to
suit us. We use those words when
we want to be most expressive and
thoroughly understood. Yet, upon
sober thought, we cannot find the
slightest meaning to any or all of
them combined. Even the igno-
rant, heather Indian we frown
upon for his backwardness has
nothing to compare with them in
his language. He may know the
proper name of a construction used
to stay the onward flow of body
of water, but fails to see how an al
most identical word can be used as
an adjective to improve or depre-
cate the grade Of some particular
person or place we happen to be
speaking Of.

THE PRISON MIRROR, paper printed
in the Minnesota State Prison at Still
water, has come to grief. The trouble
is, there is not printer or newspaper
man in the institutiOn-nOt one. There
are preachers, lawyers, bankers and
business men galore; yes, and even
farmers. Nearly every trade and pro-
fession is known except that of the
pencil pusher.-Necedah Republican.
THE above startling news from a
paper published in a small Wis
consin town shows the length to
which some men will stretch their
imagination if thereby they can
damage the character and standing
of any person or concern. There
never has been a hint or the
slightest suggestion of The MIRROR
withdrawing from the field. We
have a good circulation, plenty of
substantial and moral support, and
the added consciousness that the
men to be directly benefited by
The MIRROR are inclined to see
the folly of their way when it is
wildly pointed out by men Of
their own class. We shall expect
the editors Of the Necedah Re-
publican and other Wisconsin
papers which copied the damaging
item to show their moral right to
the title of editor by now coming
forward with the truth. We are
not ashamed of the appearance of
The MIRROR either from a typo
graphical or moral standpoint.
We are open to just criticism at
all times, and, unlike many weekly
publications, our paper is original
and honest in it's dealings with
other papers. We never use the
credit "Ex." nor will we copy any,

The large distillers and brewers
of the country are. not drinking
men in the true acceptation Of that
term. They are generally known
and lauded for their abstemious
use of the liquids they manu-
facture. Nor will they offer a po-
sition Of trust to a drinking man. .
These little business details are
worthy Of the sincerest thought of
most of us. What is good policy
for the brewer cannot be bad for
the consumer.

The man who always looks on
the bright side of life is apt to live
longest and enjoy his years more
than the ubiquitous fault fnder.
To consider all things for the better
is wise policy whereby to keep
the spirit up and bring a ray of
hope within the darkest recesses of
life. The most successful men
have at some time in their career
been chastened by sad mishaps
and confronted with seemingly in
surmountable obstacles. Had they
not met such occasions manfully
they would not now be enjoying
the fruits of undaunted industry
and the world would not possess
many Of the marvellous inventions
which we look upon now as neces-
sary to existence. Many a man in
prison today, and who will probably
go out better man morally and
mentally than when he come in,
may in years from now be able to
look back upon his present punish
ment as necessary turning point
in his life. None Of us are willing
to acknowledge it now, but time
and thought work great changes.
From whatever point we take the
matter it is evident that looking
upon the brighter side is the more
sensible plan. Make the most Of a
bad bargain and draw your profit
from the experience gained.

THE citizen editors of certain in

extremely bad example to the con-
vict printers in their charge by
persisting in bare-faced purloining
of matter from other papers with
out attempting to give any credit.
When they do give credit it is
usually that abominable "Ex.," or
worse still crediting it to another
paper. One article from The
