LAST NIGHT.

Last ntght l walked on Lendel sands
And saw the sun go down,
And leave behind him golden bands
OF crimson tainted brown.
Last night thought upon the past
And present all alone,
And still the sun was setting fast
Behind King Brian's stone.
l heard the whispering of the gale
Unto the oceans roll,
And dim as distant Innisfail
Was all within my soul.
The sun had set on my life's sands,
Oh, all my hope to drown,
And left behind no golden bands
o. crimson tainted brown.

CLIMBING MOUNT ST. ELIAS.
Previous Unsuccessful Attempts L
Reach the Summit of tho Peak.

The mountain which Prince I4ulgi
has climbed and which has hitherto
proved invineible. lies ut the heaa OF
the Mt. st, Elias range, occupying a
marrow strip Of Alaskan coast territory
separating British Columbia from the
sea. The peak IL at the head OF the
range, about $50 miles east of Sitka.
and lies on the border OF British and
American territory. SO closely indeed
does the peak trench on the dividing
line that II needed specially APP
pointed commission to officially do
tcrmine that the mountains actually
belonged to this country,
Since the discovery of the mountain
In l74l only -four parties have dared
venture the task OF scaling 1t, although
Cook, lie Perouse, Malaspina, and Van
couyer had all previously made explo;
rations along the land.
Lieutenant Schwatka was the first
OF the four modern explorers to climb
the mountain. He landed his party
at ley bay. and mace detour of TWEEN
ty miles inland, and then, sklrtlng the
southwest, reached an elevation Of
1900 feet.
This complete failure did not daunt
Edward Topham, landing at Icy bay,
started on his dangerous journey up
the steep southern face of the noun
tain. This time the trial was a little
more successful. One by one the party
broke down; sickness, fatigue, the Inn
possibility Of living In the rarefed air
drove them back, but IL was not until
11,460 feet had been reached that Mr..
Topham himself turned back.
TO Professor Israel G. Russell is
awarded the credit attaching to the
third and fourth attempts. Acting
under the auspices OF the National
Geographical society, Professor Rus
sell, landing at the head OF Yakutat
bay late In June, headed inward for
fifty miles over moraines and glaciers
and across snow-covered passes TO the
northwest base Of the eliminating
pyramid OF Saint Elias. Others had
trled the south. Professor Russell
tried the north, ana at least demon
strated the fact that the northern slope
OF the mountain was far more practic-
able than the sleeper southern face.
The storms Of winter compelled him
10 temporarily abandon the task OF
reaching the summit.
In 1891 Professor Russell, with
Thomas r. Staring. J. II Crumback,
Thomas White, Neil mccarthy, VIII g.
Moore, Frank s. Warner, and Lieu
tel ants Robinson and Jarvis, made
another attempt. II was on the morn

WORK OF LIGHTNING.
ONE PERSON KILLED AND
EIGHT SHOCKED.

The Sad Occurrence Took Place at
Clinard's Stand. Near Centerville,
on Sunday-A Heart-Rending
Scene-Injured VIII Recover.
At 7:15 Sunday evening lightning
struck a tree at Union Ridge Metho-
dist Protestant church (Clinard's
Stand), just beyond Centreville, and
killed Mrs. John Hundley, of Center
vile. and horse belonging to Mr.. e.
P. Hoffman, besides shocking eight
people.
A revival neeting has been in pro
gress at the church here for several
days. The congregation was gathering
last evening when the storm came up
A number of people were in the house.
Those that were shocked were stand
ing In the yard.
The lightning ran down the tree
badly damaging it as it went. 1t
jumped off and struck the horse which
was hitched to the wagon. The own
er, Mr.. Hoffman, was in the wagon,
but he escaped injury.
When Mrs. Hundley was struck she
had in her arms little child OF Mrs.
e. z. Hoffman. When she fell the
baby was thrown several feet and was
not found for half an hour afterward.
Strange to say, it was not hurt Some
believe, however, that it sustained
slight shock, as it was not heard to
CRY after it fell until the time it was
picked up.
The names of the parties shocked
are as follows:
Mrs E Hoffman, Mrs Tise Wag
Roner, Miss Addie May Hoffman, Eli
Weisner. his wife, son and sister, and
Mrs Tracy Weaver.
Dr. Lott was called to see the PEG.
pie that were shocked. All that could
be moved were carried to their re-
spectiYe homes. The others were
sent home Monday.
From the Doctor it is learned that
the three children who were shocked
are not seriously hurt, and he THINKS
all of the grown people will recover.
Two gentlemen who arrived at the
church shortly after the lightning
struck, tells THE SENTINEL that the
people lying all around on the ground
Those who were not shocked were so
excited that they did not know what

District Attorney Holton's Job.

: They say that District Attorney
Holton has discovered that there Is q
great deal of work connected with bis
office. Often in the trial of cases he
has to cross-examine his own wit
nesses, q practice permitted only in
the Federal Court, the ground of per-
mission being based on the idea that
witnesses, even for the government,
are prejudiced and will not tell all
they know. This is often shown and
the district attorney cross.examfnes
them. Even ir this way 1t is q hard
matter to convict q man.
