THE LIARS CLUB.
It Hears Coed Story by Weather Blu

resu Kan.
It was the regular monthly meeting Of
the Liars club. The chairman, Lionel
Phibbs, introduced the guest of the even
ing, Sergeant Brown of the weather bu-
reau. His Introductory words were very
happy There is no man VINO has had
more opportunities for lying or who has
evailed himself of them with more fire.
quency than Sergeant Brown, who viii
now lie a little
''Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the
Liars club, - said the sergeant, with me,
as a member of the weather bureau, lying
is a business, and cannot therefore tell a
lie with the gusto of an amateur, but
little incident that happened a few sum
mers ago out in Indiana may possess some
interest for you.
You may remember the summer of
fearful drought in Indiana. Crops were
frizzled up, brooks lost their right of way
and people who had reviled water as the
last thing to put in mans mouth went
about hunting for a drop of it. At no
place was water more needed than in the
manufacturing town of Egerton, Ind. The
chief industry of the place is locomotive
building, and they had an order for ten
locomotives to be finished in certain
time or they would not be accepted. The
lake that ran the factory had but seven
inches of water in it, and the owners were
in despair. If the machinery didn't start
inside of three days, they would lose the
order.
''At this juncture the owners sent for
me to see if something could not be done,
and I went out there. To make matters
worse, enormous black clouds hurried in
both directions across Indiana day after
day, to empty themselves into the water
soaked neighboring states; but, as if they
had grudge against the Hoosiers not a
drop fell there.
a. If you can make it rain, we will give
you life pass good on any railroad in
the country said the president of the
company.
81 acted promptly. I ordered the local
artillery company to bring it's cannons
and plant one on each of the four sides of
the lake, with the bOres pointed at an an
gle of As degrees and to get ready to fire.
Then I issued q weather report, prophecy
ing a clear day, and, of course, that
brought the clouds. They travelled from
east to west and were very black and
heavy. L got the men to train their guns so
that whom shot the four balls would meet
over the lake and not do any damage to
property and then waited for a cloud of
the right size 1t soon came. 'FireP said
I. They fired and the cloud burst then
and there, and its contents filed that lake
bed as neatly as if the cloud had been
measured for it. In few minutes the
factory was running and the locomotives
were finished on time, and I got my pass.
''What became of the cannon balls?''
asked member.
"Oh," replied the sergeant "they were
welded together by the force of contact
and dropped on an island in the exact CEN
ter Of the lake, and the company had an
inscription engraved upon them setting
forth the facts and giving me due credit
for my services. CHARLES Batteu LOOMS

NOT STARVING AT DAWSON.
Latest Advices Says There Will be
Enough Provisions for Winter

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. minister of
the Interior Sifton, who has been investi-
eating the different routes into the Yu-
kon, arrived here last night from Dyea
on the Dominion steamer Quadra.
MI Sifton is of the opinion that the
ChIkoot route is a better one than the
White pass route. Regarding reports of
starvation at Dawson City, Mr.. Sifton
stated that his latest advices were to
the effect that there would be enough
provisions to last till spring.
Major Walsh, the administrator of the
Yukon, who is now on his way, will, on
his arrival there, make report to the
Dominion government on the situation
and the necessity of the government send
ing in provisions. The Quadra brought
down meager details of some more rich
strikes on the creeks near Dawson City.
The steamer City of Seattle sailed from
here for Alaska last night. She took up
sixty head of oxen and number of men,
who will form part of the expedition sent
out by a Boston company to carry sup
plies into Dawson over the Dalton trail.

INDIANS BECOME VOTERS.
800 of Them Will Exercise the Fran
chise in Dakota.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 2.-The supreme
court has filed a decision in the case of
the Fort Totten Indians who have taken
lands in severalty within Benson county
and who applied to the commissioners Of
that county before the last election for
the establishment of a polling place,
claiming that they were entitled to vote.
The commissioners refused to establish
polling place and the Indians took the
case to the district court. Judge Morgan
ordered the polling place, and the COM
missioners appealed to the supreme court.
That tribunal sustained Judge Morgan
and decides that the Indians who have
taken land in severalty and have received
preliminary patents are electors and that
the provisions of the state code which re-
ouire them to have final patents from the
government is unconstitutional
There are about 300 Indians in Benson
county who will be entitled to vote under
this ruling, and if their vote is cast solid
it will practically control factions in that
county.

Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Nov. 2-The battle ground
of the Crawford county election is in
this city The rival candidates for
the county offices in which the great
est interest is centered reside in this
city and the fight is being waged here
with great vigor. The country people
are taking little if any interest in the
result, going to the polls, voting and
returning home. In the city the con-
test is of as much interest as it was
last year In the outlying precincts
some of the miners are scratching the
Populist ticket because of the record
of the administration on the sale of
penitentiary coal below the price which
it brings at the mines in this county.

STANDS BY FREE TRADE.
Lord Ros ebery Advises That Eng
land Stick to It.

Manchester, Nov. 2-Lord Rosebery
addressed a large meeting here last
night in connection with the century
celebration of the Chamber of Com
merce. He reviewed the history of
free trade deliberately, eulogising what
he described as its advantages to
England
Lord Rosebery contended that the
condition of agriculture abroad despite
bounties and protection, was in
some cases worse, than in England.
He fully agreed with Sir Wilfred Lau-
rier, he declared. that any deviation
from absolute political and CONNER
cial freedom would only weaken the
bonds holding the empire together and
that anything in the direction of an i'm
perial zollverein would weaken the en-
pire internally and excite the perma-
nent hostility of the whole world, al
ready excited by British prosperity IN
der free trade. He said he would
tread softly in the presence of the
idea of a zOllYerein'' for he believed it
already dead It behOOved them to
walk strongly and warily in the path
of empire but such zOllverein would
form a permanent menace of war.
