against the world, said n Colorado
man. recall in particular an Arapa-
hoe Indian who visited our camp by
the Fontaine qui Bouille river one
night. We had killed buffalo calf
that day = good-sized, fat calf,
four or five months old-and having
skinned and dressed the carcass, had
hung it up on a wagon pole. We had
carved enough off one shoulder to go
along with mountain trout, bacon,
bread and coffee for our party of four
at supper; the rest of the meat was all
there. The Indian came riding up after
we had eaten and he looked pretty
tired and empty. lie had evidently
Travelled long way with little to eat,
for he was dusty, haggard and thin as
q shoestring, and there was no doubt
when he asked by signs for food that
he wanted it badly. We pointed to the
buffalo calf, and with hi; knife he cut
off some slices of meat, laid them on
the embers, and as soon Us they were

and began again with the calf.
He was still cutting and cooking
meat and eating when we went off to
sleep, and SO far as we could tell he
spent the entire night in that occupa-
tion, for whenever one or another of us
woke up enough to look around the In
dian was either cutting at the calf or
eating by the fire. When we turned
ont in the morning we found that a..
that was left of that buffalo calf was
its skeleton hanging from the pole
The Indian had not carved away its
joints and ribs as a white man would
have done, but had hacked the meat off
In small pieces till all was gone.
The Indian looked like another per-
SON. His all-night feed had fattened
him up So that he looked well filled
out, and he moved about with differ

STRANGE PICTURE OF AMERICA.
Opinion of a Weil-Known Swiss Writer-A
Mixture of Truth and Fiction.

Opinion of a weil-Known Swiss writer-A
Mixture of Truth and Fiction.
A well-known Swiss writer, who Wis.,
tied the worlds fir and was then
forced to remain here for some time on
account of illness, has joined the long
list of foreigners for whom America"
has been favorite subject for ''disser-
tation.'' In a recent issue of the Neue
Zuricher Zeitung, one of the most IA
nous Swiss journals, under the head
line, What is American" he wrote:
America is a land compared with
which Europe is only a peninsula;
the United States forms country COM
pared with which the European king
doms are pygmies. America is the land
of unmeasured distances and dimen-
sions; the land of dollars and electric
ity; the land where the prairies are
more extensive, the rivers mightier,
the waterfalls deeper, the bridges
longer, the lightning expresses faster,
the catastrophes more terrible than in
any other country in the world. 1t is
the land where in q single rail1 DAD acci-
dent-and one occurs every few days
more people lose their lives than in
Europe in whole year. 1t is the land
where the houses are higher, the jail
birds more numerous, the rich richer,
the poor poorer, the millions greater,
the thieves more daring, the murder
ers more shameless, the educated few
er, the teeth more generally false, the
corsets narrower, the diseases more
deadly, corruption more general,
the summers warmer, the
winters colder, the fires hotter,
the ice thicker, time more precious, the
men more nervous, than in any coun-
try in our pastoral Europe. 1t is the
land where the old men are younger
and the young men older, the negroes
blacl1er, the whites more yellow, than
in any other place. 1t is the land Of
immeasurable natural wealth. In
short, it is the land of extraordinary
contrasts, of strange extremes, of nom
sensical pride, of reckless money-hunt-
ing, of senseless craze for gain-the
land of the colossal and the pyramidal
of course, in the opinion of Ameri-
cans. How many have gone from our
peaceful home to the land of false hopes
to seek riches, fortune and better life,
and have been lost-either in the gut
ters of the great cities or the sands Of
the prairies! How many have been
glad, when poor and deserted and
broken in heart and soul, to sail back
to their native landr'

Cure For p,phthe,ia.

The Scientific American gives this
recipe, which the whole world ought
to know: At the first appearance of
diptheria in the throat of child make
the room close, then take tin cup and
pour into it quantity of tar and tur-
pentine, equal parts. Then stir the
contents with a red hot iron, so as to
fill the room with fumes. The little
patient, on iahaling the fumes, will
cough up and spit out the membra-
neous matter and the diptheria will
pass out. The fumes of the tar and
turpentine loosen the matter in the
throat, affording the relief that has
baffled the skill of physicians.

THAT PETITION To Aix JONES.
Mr. Jacobsen Makes Some Statements ana
C0rrPcIlOus

G. Jacobsen, who expects to be post
master at The Dalles- if Mitchell is
elected senator, was engaged today
circulating a petition asking F. N.
Jones, of Bakeovep, Wasco county,
representative-elect, to go into the
Mitchell senatorial caucus. Senator
Dufur was here and started the scheme,
and expects to secure the land Office
appoiutme in return. The first
name on the petition is Frank Meme
fee, a relative and partner of Dufur's;
the second is John Cradlebaugh, de-
feated candidate for district attorney
last June, and the third is Bert Thurs
ton, who was the leader of the Bryan
forces here during the presidential
campaign. Others on the petition are
not prominent. 1t is not expected
that RepresentatiYe Jones will pay
much attention to the petition, as he
is known To be man of firm convic-
tions and capable of acLing for him.
self.-Dispatch to the Oregonian from
The Ddlles, dated Jan. l6.
The communication of this Dalles
correspondent, who planned that ar
ticle to the Oregonian, is fabrication
and false from top to bottom. l have
never circulated d petition asking F.
N. Jones to go into the Mitchell sena-
toria] caucus, for the reason generally
known that MIR. Jones is pledged, over
his own signature, to vote for Senator
Mitchell. could not, therefore, be a
party to any measure that would even,
by implication, insult the integrity of
Mr.. Jones by assuming that he intends
to go back on solemn, existing pledge
of honor. But have circulated pc
titioD asking Mr.. Jones that we re-
spectfully, but earnestly, ask that he
assist, by all means in his power, by
his presence, vote and influence, help
toward the organization of the house
of representatives: that there is legis-
lation needed for the benefit of the
people represented by him, and we
emphatically condem obstructive meth
DDS.
This petition was signed by hundreds
of our rbestcitizens. However honorable
the aspire tion, my name has never
been mentioned in connection with
the appointment Of postmaster, so far
as l know; nor have / ever, like some
political bosses been q candidate for
unattainable honors. The people who
elected MIR. Jones no doubt are sur
prised to see the combine handling
him. 1t remains to be seen if Mr..
Jones is a man of firm convictions,
that will rather listen TO his bosses,
whose lieutenants are at Salem giving
advice, or give the people who elected
him legislation. If The Dalles CORES
pondent will kindly answer this and
sign his name, will show the citizens
Of Wasco county that he is one of the
barking kind, and leaves all dirty work
for his lientenants. Some people deal
10 dirt, like to build imaginary bridges,
but never sign names.

Miss Yaw Dead.

From the Chicago Musical Times we
learn that Miss Ellen Beach Yaw died
Jan. 10 at Binghampton, N. Y. She
was singing before an audience, and
in reaching the high notes for which
her voice was famous, the jugular vein
in her throat burst, and she bled to
death on the stage before her hearers.
Miss Yaw was able to reach the highest
note of any cantatrice in the world,
which was due to the peculiar forma-
tion of her throat. In straining to
reach this high note, muscles in her
throat were pressed against the jugular
vein and injured this by abrasion until
the membrane was worn through caus-
ing hemorrhage. She had been warned
by the best vocal masters that the re-
suit would be 80 if she persisted in sing
ing so high. but the warming was not
needed, as was witnessed by the people
of The Dalles few weeks ago. Miss
Yaw was born in Boston, Erie county,
N. Y, and was nearly 80 years of age.
1t is to be regretted indeed that this
talented lady, before whom there was
such a brilliant future, should thus be
SO untimely cut down.
