WELL SAID.

The Republicans of the city of New
York in convention assembled, made
this declaration of their position and
principles:
We indorse the patriotic and success
full administration of William McKin-
ley. He was truly the advance agent
of prosperity"
We congratulate the people upon the
passage of a Republican protective
tariff bill and point to the revival of
businss here and throughout the coun-
try as the fruits of its enactment. No
duty can be more obvious than that
of the people of this commercial city
to sustain the party which has so
swiftly and so completely rescued the
country from the financial distress in
to which it had been plunged by DEM
ocratic follies.

New 0||el||S Report.
Several New Cases Of Yellow Fever
Found.
Citizens We're Not Surprised At The
3RepOrtS Of The Fever In HeuS- ~u
ton And Galveston.

New Orleans, Oct. 12.-Several new
cases and two deaths were reported to
the board of health at 10 a. m. Among
the new cases last night were Mrs.
Hunter C. Leak, wife of the general
agent of the Illinois Central railroad (;
Hartwig Moss, a prominent insurance
man and J. p Hecker, a real estate
broker. Brother Philip is among the
cases in the hotel Dieu.
News of the fever in Houston, Tex,
did not occasion much surprise here,
but some regulations will be enforced
against that city, as against Calves
ton. However, as railroad traffic and
ocean trade is suspended between
Texas ports and New Orleans it will
not be difficult to keep Houston and
Galveston people out of this city.
DR.. Guiteras is expected here tOmor-
row or next day, it being reported that
he is enroute on a revenue cutter.
What his mission is has not been learn
ed. Charges are being made that GER
tain New Orleans merchants have viO-
lated quarantine regulations of other
states in shipping goods from here
and the boards of trade and health
are inquiring into the matter.

BIG PAY-DIRT IN KLoNDIKE.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE steam
err City of Topeka arrived here last
night from Juneau, Alaska. Among her
passengers was ]. F. Maloney, of Ju-
neau, who came out from Dawson with
the Calvin party. In an interview
with the correspondent of the Associa-
ted Press Mr.. Maloney said:
"Hunker Creek and Gold Bottom
Creek, it is conceded, will equal, If not
rival the now famous Bonanza and Ell
dorado Creeks. More especially is this
true of Hunker Creek. Location No.
SO on that creek is among the richest
in the Klondike district. Many Of the
claims on this creek will run $4,000 to
the box. On No. 30, Eldorado, Alex
McDonald's claim, one man in a shift
and a half, which is about II hours,
shoveled in $4,000.
Maloney offered $4,000 for half in
terest in claims number 80 and 36 on
Eldorado, which offer was declined.

MAYOR THATCHER OF BOSTON
BORROWED THE IDEA FROM
BRITAIN CATHEDRAL.
The Bean Eaters Will Now Learn
The Direction In Which The Old
Cow Paths Which Afterward
Became Streets, Run--The
Line Is Laid In Marble.

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Times from Albany, N. Y, says:
This city has made an innovation
which Mayor Thatcher believes other
cities will follow. 1t is meridian
line" and has aroused curiosity in AL
bany CIRCLES.
The meridian line" is being placed
in position diagonally across the side
walk at the southwest corner of the
city hall. 1t is nearly completed and
has already accomplished the purpose
for which Mayor Thatcher desired 1t
when he asked the common council
to appropriate a certain sum for the
establishment of a meridian line on the
sidewalk and a bronze tablet on the
city hall, on which should be inscribed
the longitude and latitude of the city
of Albany. The meriedian line, though
incomplete, has convinced a numebr
OF people that they have been in error
regarding the direction of the various
streets in Albany.
The idea of a meridian line first struck
Mayor Thatcher while making a visit
to cathedral in Milan, Italy. He
noticed a brass strip in the floor and
upon inquirlng learned that it was
intended to establish the direction of
north and south. The mayor thought
that this would be a good thing for
his own city and last May suggested
it to the common council. The latter
Immediately looked favorably upon his
advice and City Engineer Andrews was
requested to do the necessary work
with the mayor.
1t was first thought that the line
could be laid in the carriage way. but
1t was found that the granite block
would not be a good place for the mar
bic employed and the heavy traffic
would deface and spoil the work. The
strip across the side walk is twenty
four inches wide and sixty-seven feet
long, composed of blocks of marble
from Brandon, Vermont, which was
purchased because of its durability.
1t is not as white as some marble, but
it will stand the climatic influences
and wear of foot better that other
material. 1t was somewhat difficult
to get the exact location of the city
and the only means that City Engineer
Andrews had was to study the direc-
ton of the sun stars. These he stud
led from the Dudly observatory, but
was not satisfied at first and went to
Mix's jewelry store where hourly re-
ports are received from Washington,
and there secured his additional infor-
nation.
The bronze tablet is almost complet-
ed and will contain the exact longi-
tude and latitude of the city, which
Mr.. Andrews has obtained. 1t is wait
ing for an inscription that Mayor
Thatcher is preparing.

PAT CALVIN BANKS ON KLoN-
Dixie.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 12.-Pat Calvin,
who is recognized as one of the bo-
nanza kings of the Klondike, where he
has been engaged in mining for the
past three years, in an interview, re-
viewing the gold regions of the north,
estimating their probable output said:
There are 461 claims which have
been operated sufficiently to prove their
richness. There are $50 claims al
ready staked out not developed. BY
reason of their location near other
claims already shown TO be very rich,
1 have no doubt these will prove equal
to the other 461.
Taking these claims and figuring
out their cubic contents and making a
conservative estimate, / do not see
why the output from these claims
alone will fall short of fifty million
dollars"
Mr.. Calvin unhesitatingly declared
that nothing which had been published
so far as he knew, even approached
the truth of what is really known on
these great gold fields. H.,

SHEEP MEN AND SETTLERS.
Come to Shots in Idaho, and Some Are
Killed.

Come to Shots in Idaho, and Some Are
Killed.
Denver, Col, Oct. IA special to
the Republican from Pocatella, Ida
no, says:
News just received from Long VAL
ley, in Washington county, says that
that there has been a battle between
the settlers and the sheep herders in
which three men were killed and sew
eral dangerously wounded. Details are
meagre, but it seems that 10 of the set
tiers warned the sheep men to leave
the valley and when they refused made
an attack upon the sheep camp. Thir-
ty shots were fired by the settlers and
a man named Barber was killed. The
sheep men then returned the fire, kill
ing three of the settlers.
The rest of the attacking party fled.
1t is thought Barber was killed. The
trouble is the outgrowth of the strain
ed relations that have existed in this
section between the settlers and sheep
men for some time. 1t is not an I'M
common thing for stock to be MANNED
and hay stacks to be burned and even
for settlers and sheep men to exchange
shots, but no one has been heretofore
killed. officers have left Weiser for the
scene of the trouble.

OUR WISE MEDICINE MEN.


Some of our wise physic men held a
meeting yesterday, and discussed at
length the death of a suspicious case,
at 2119 South Medina street. Those
who appeared the most scared were of
the opinion that it was a suspicious"
case of yellow fever.
While doctors will disagree, they are
also liable to fall into error in giving
opinions, in calling suspicious" case
of jim-jams yellow fever" The
Light is informed by neighbors of the
suspicious" case, that the man had an
attack of malaria, or dengue fever,
and that he had filed himself up with
poison, rot-gut usually found in the
barrel house dives on the west side,
some one having told him he must
drink plenty of whisky.
The Light does not desire to pose"
as a whole board of health in itself,
but is of the opinion that if our medi-
cal experts will analyze some of the
mean whisky sold and drank in this
city, they will be able to trace almost
any disease known to the profession.

HIS MIND ROTTEN.

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Philadelphia says:
Les Miserables,'' Victor Hugo's
masterpiece, has come under the ban
of educational conservatism. The

Principal William D. Rorer presented
to the committee list of text books
required for the school. containing the
book in French.
Thomas G. Morton declared he must
object to Les Miserables." He had

posed that il be stricken from the list.

ELM POINT.

Some of our farmers have already
started on their springs work.
Chas Galloway has got bearded wheat
and Andrew Weir can show his friends
flowers in bloom on the outside. How
is that for Fremont.
Rumor hath it that the clerk in the
Walhalla post Office has invested in a
buck saw lately and thinks Of corning mp
here to contract wood cutting and grub
bling. The grub is likely to suffer worse
than the wood-pile on account of his
enormous appetite.
We would advise the people Of this
township to keep their cows in the stable
as in case the Odd Fellow goat from
Walhalla should escape it might go hard
with them. It is also understood that
the aforesaid animal is just as fond of
pie as he is of fresh milk.
The Fremont correspondent of last
week says that one of our bachelor friends
is going to jump the broom stick. This
remin js us that there is another young
man who used to live here, but now re-.
81 les at Walhalla who would like to
jump. How ard it is to get the missus
sometimes. Eth, old boy?
