and put up at the Clifton house having
met by previous arrangement to be
married On retiring TO separate
rooms she let King take $ll95, for safe
keeping through the night which he

he claimed it was stolen. They told
their troubles TO the hotel man but he
had troubles of his own and winked
the other eye, Miss Young who is 81
years old and King only 23 then left
without getting married saying they
would return later" They went TO

King took another girl to Barnum' S

HEATHENISM IN ALASKA.
Infanticide, Witchcry, PoIygamy and the

lnfanticide, Witchcry, PoIygamy and the
Murder OF Parents Prevalent.
EAGLE LAKE, Ind, May IS. -Alaska's
horrors and hopes were aired by DR..
Sheldon Jackson, the moderator of the
Presbyterian general assembly, in his
discourse Sunday. He said that infan-
ticide, witchery, polygamy, the mur-
der of parents and other practices of
benighted and degraded paganism pre-
vailed to horrible extent among three
or four native races. Mothers killed
their own babies. DR.. Jackson found
that in some tribes it was the
practice of children to kill father
and mother when they got old.
The custom had become SO firmly
established as to be inevitable. The
grip swept the coast of Alaska and
carried off many natives. They attrib-
uted the disease to witches, DR.. Jack
son declares scores of persons were
burned or buried alive on suspicion of
being witches. He says the Alaskans
are not a ferocious people, and de-
scribed them as mild and docile.

CRIPPLE CREEK, COL, May 25.-Two
gangs Of men are now digging on the
tunnel TO be made under Pixies peak.
One crew began at the foot Of the
mountain, near the old town Of Colora-
do City. From there it will run about
due southwest, and the further end is
TO be about six miles from Cripple
Creek and near Sunol. The main tun-

2,7O0 feet under Victor. Thirty miles
Of laterals are to be built underneath
all Of the Cripple Creek district, at an
average depth of 1880 feet, and it is
designed to test the mineral deposits
from these depths. At present the
shortest road from Cripple Creek to
Colorado Springs is 81 miles, but with
the completion Of the new tunnel the
distance will be but 10 miles. The two
gangs are now making Roadway of
30 feet per day, and it is believed that
the work will be completed in seven

ANXIOUS FOR A DECISION.
Railroads Want the Maximum Freight Rate
Case Settled.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Much disappoint.
ment was expressed at the failure Of
the supreme court to render a decision
In the Nebraska maximum freight
rate case. Officials felt sure that
one would be rendered, and they
were just as confident that it
would be in their favor. The anxiety to
have it is increased by the fact that
Kansas railroad commissioners are
agitosing for the enforcement of maxi
mum freight rates. A decision from the
federal supreme court declaring that
state legislatures have no power to en-
force unreasonable rates would at this
time, 1t is believed, head off the threat
ened legislation and secure the roads
the revenues they derive from existing
rates The decision holding that the
interstate commerce commission has
not power to prescribe maximum rates
has given great satisfaction to railroad
officials.

George Campbell, Of Labette county,
has issued a call for meeting of the
Kansas gulf rate committee for next
Monday at the state house At that
meeting q report Of the southern

filed with the governor. Senator
Campbell said that at the general gulf

September, one of the principal ques.
tons that will be discussed is the
feasibility Of the adoption of uni.
form rate for transportation all over
the country, on the same plan as the
government postal business is carried
on. He has it figured out that rate
of ST. ton for freight would net the
companies just as much money as they
received last year from that depart
ment Of business, and he favors sys-
tenn which charges just as much to
haul ton of freight mile as to haul
it from San Francisco to New York.
