soyAw AS A LUMBER JACK.
Unique Position of ssspil<e Shoe AIag''
in Northern NVisconsin.

Unique Position of ssSpflze Shoe 1Iag''
in Northern Wisconsin,.
One of the best log drivers and all
around lumber jacks in northern Wis
consin is Chippewa Indian woman
named Maggie Moon. better known in
the woods and on the river as Spike
Shoe Mag She may now be seen every
day running logs on the Nemadj river
at Superior, and she has been seen at
that same occupation every summer
during the last five years, while in the
winter season she has been employed
as an ordinary lumber jacl-to swing
the AK, to skid logs, or to drive a tote
team.
Maggie is the wife of John Moon, a
stalwart Chippewa Indian, whose oc-
cupation is also that of a lumber jack
and log driver. Mr.. Moon took con-
tract once to harvest some timber for
the owner thereof, but he took the job
at too low price and was obliged to
put his wife to work chopping and haul
ing in order to save a mans wages.
Mrs. Moon seemed to take to the work
as though she had been used to it all her
life, and she made such handy lum-
Der jack that her husband could never
see his way clear to dispense with her
services. Three years ago John Moon
went to work on the log drive and took
his wife with. him just to see if she
could do the work, in case she had to.
Mrs. Moon rugged herself out with a
pair of bloomers, donned slouch hat
and a pair of spike shoes, and sailed
forth with her lord and master to
learn the log-driving business.
After experiencing all manner of
hardships and disappointments, she
finally mastered the business, and can
now balance herself upon floating log
with the dexterity of an acrobat. The
couple live during the driving season
in an old Jog cabin on the bank of the
Nemadji river, and in winter they make
their abode in small canvas tent,
usually pitched short distance from
the mess camp.-N. Y. Times.

McKinIey's Coming Message
to be Unique.
iTs SCOPE IS NOT VERY WIDE
Adoption OF Cages Plan, Annexation of
Hawaii. and Noninterference
in Cuba Advised.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The message of
President Mckinley will be devoted
practically to the subject OF foreign re-
lations and the currency problem. 1t win
be unique in one respect, in that it ig-
nores the great Dulk of matter usually
constituting the departmental portion of
presidential annual messages.
While the details of the currency plan
are not definitely known, they can be
stated to be in the main an incorpora-
tion of the views submitted by Secretary
Gage.
A strong presentation of the Hawaiian
question is made, and congress is urged
to take immediate action toward rati-
ication of the proposed annexation
treaty.
AS to Cuba, the message reaches the
virtual conclusion that existing circum-
stances do not warrant interference in
the affairs of the island.
The Alaskan problem is discussed at
some length, and plan is laid for ex-
tensive occupation of the public lands
and grants of right of way for roads by
which all parts OF the country may be
made more accessible.

MOTHER OF THE PRESIDENT Ill
Nancy Allison Mckinley Suffers Para.
lytic Stroke.


CANTON, o., Dec. 2.-Mrs. Nancy AL
lison Mckinley, mother of the president,
was stricken with paralysis this morn
ing, and it is feared that her death is
only question of short time. The
paralysis at present is in a mild form,
but owing to her extreme age, nearly 80
years, DIR. Phillips, the attending physi
clan, can give but little more hope to
the family.
Abner Mckinley of New York, has
been visiting her for a few days, and
when his mother was strickened imme-
diately communicated with the presi-
dent by telephone. The latter asked if
he had best start for Canton at once,
TO which Abner replied that he had best
wait for further report from the phys
ician, who would make call in time to
inform the president OF her condition by
10 o'clock.
The physicians statement to the fam
lily was that there was but little doubt
that the attack would ultimately result
in death, but there was no indication as
yet as to when the end might be expect
ed.
The mother of President Mckinley for
some time has not been in real good
health, having suffered from a mild form
of grip.
On Wednesday she seemed to have
materially improved, and her bright and
cheerful humor was especially noted by
members of the family. Except in the
failure of her vocal organs Mrs. McKIn-
ley shows but little signs of the exist
ence of paralysis.
She is in full possession of her mental

KING OF THE KAFFIRs AND AND CRGsUs OF THE TRANsVAAL. COMMITS
 SUICIDE.
self.Destruetion Generally Believed to Have Been the Outcome of
 Recent Illness at the Cape.

LONDON, ENGLAND, June l5.-Of feials of the Union Steamship Com. pany, to which the steamer Scott belongs, confirm the announcement made last night in . special dis patch from FunehiaI, Island of Ma deira, that Barney Barnato, the South African diamond king, committed suicide by jumping over board while that vessel was on her way from Cape Town, Southampton. The death of Barney Barnato caused a sensation in financial circles. His office here is besieged this morning by hundreds Of eager inquiries, and even then his firm had not received confirmation of the news. Throg- morton street is filled with excited crowds of brokers discussing the news Of Barnatos death His self destruction is generally supposed to have been the outcome of his recent illness at the Cape.
 Barney" Barnato, the king of Kaairs, whom it has for #severaf years been the fashion to call the richest man in the world, was t!-e originator of the boom in the "Kahirs. and Kafiirs are shares in the comparatively new gold mines of the Transvaal, South African. Bar nato was the king ol London City, and all the money getters were his willing subjects. He was formerly circus man, and made his begin ming by small but fortunate inyest- ments in Kafdrs, which yielded him the returns of an Aladdin. Again and again he won, and his wealth has been set down al $l00, 900, 900 or more. He professed to have bound lesss faith in the future of the Transvaal, which is now yielding SO many millions of dollars worth of gold Until recently it was locked upon as nothing better than a howl ing wilderness.

4 NEW DISEASE
 IN IN HORSES HORSES,
IS THE BICYCLE A BLESSING OK
 A CURSE.
A Wonderful Discovery Brought To Light Which May Prove
 It To Be the Latter.

4 new disease has just bee. dis lcovered among horses, which, from its peculiarities, has been termed by the local veterinary surgeon as pneumatic et nlisteria eUapoYdtanl, which Icing interpreted means that tired feeling" followed by mysterious evaporation. The only cases which have appeared in this locality succeeded, so ] am told in distguring beyond the point of personal recognition, four fine Allies which were ridden into town yesterday by as many negroes living a few turns of the cyclometer southwest of the city. Upon cross examination by the veterinary surgeon who conducted the coroner's inquest over said horses, it was learned that for about miles of the distance to town they had ridden on the bicycle path which has recently been very much used for the purpose for which it is in- tended, blissfully ignorant of any dangers that might be lurking in said path, which, when properly or rather improperly chemically acted upon by the materials of which a horse is composed, produce the above melodious malady. However, such was !he case, and what makes the phenomenon, if such it may be called, more difficult to understand, is the fact that veterinary surgeons Ire yet unable to tell just what con- litions of the air are favorable or lnfavorable for the contracting and of the disease.
 For future reference photographs were taken two, three and four hours after the first symptoms were noticed. l herewith reproduce Ghe ,hird photograph, from which it will 1 }e seen that a segment of the shoe 8 all that remained at the time of ] he horse and his rider.

TIE PARADE,
IT WAS NOT A FLATTERIEG
 SUCCESS.
Only Few Bicyolists Had Their
 Wheels Illuminated.

The mueh-talked-of bicycle parade +ook place last night. and if was o,ite disappointment, forconsider- inc the number of wheelmen in Pine plnff. a much better parade and 2 larger tufn-aut was expected.
 At one time there was about a hundred wheels in line. but of this number only a few made pretense at illuminating their wheels.
 seven wheelmen of the number de- serve great credit for their enterprise and get mp, for their wheels were handsomely illuminated and deeorat- ed. and without them the parade would have been devoid of attrae- tive features.
 A number of our citizens,antieipat- ing good parade, had gone to the trouble and expense of Illuminating the sidewalks in front of their prpmises by means of Japanese lan- terms, and they, too, were much dis appointed that the parade was not more creditahle to the Pine Bluff wheelmen.
 There was an utter lack of man agement and harmony, and the pro epssion was struggling from start to finish. and no concert of action was discernable.
 The parade. after traycrsing one or two streets, stopped on Fifth avenue, in front of the residence of Mir. 4. $. Honnet, where the indges- Messrs. A $. Honnet, A. M. Bloom and Maj \. T White-awarded the prizes. as follows:
 First prize. fer combination wheel, to Messrs. An Knox and Ghas. Clements, with shorty Levine as mascot.
 Second prize for eombinatian wheel to Meesfs. Fergus and Roane. Mr.Arnold was awarded dfst pfiz for single wheel, and the seoud prize in this class was given to Mf. Bob Atkinson.
 The parade. however, may result ! in some good. It was the first effort of the kind ever made in Pine Bluff and many of he bicycliats did not know how to go about Illuminating their wheels.
 At an early day the wheelmen pro- pose to give day parade to he fol- i lowed by one at night, at which time something real good may be expected.
