the Dingley outrage-are due thanks

perity we are now receiving. Thanke

A PICTURESQUE aLoNp1KE FIGURE

A PICTURESQUE aLONDIKE FIGURE
Prof. John Muir has just published
a letter on the Yukon river gold fields
| which is chiefly interesting in the eff
fectiye object lesson it contains-a les
son presented unconsciously by the
writer of the letter and seen only be-
tween the lines.
Professor Muir is a scientist and ex-
plorer of Worldwide fame, with an
eternal monument-the great Muir Gla-
cier of Alaska, discovered by him
destined to perpetuate his memory.
He has Travelled much in Alaska; he is
familiar with the golden promise of
that vast territory but never once has
he been led aside from the patch of
science by the glitter Of that promise.
And now, writing of the rush of pros
pectors to the bleak land whose perils
he had already braved from higher
motives than those of the seeker after
fortune, it is interesting to note the
revelation Of character made by his
quantity earnest comments upon the
situation.
Following a brief but graphic de-
scription of the most recent scenes at
tendant upon the 'Klondike rush."
Professor Muir is led to moralize a
bit. 1T is a fine thing" he says, I'M
touched himself by that lust for wealth
which is well-nigh the most irresistible
emotion known to humanity, "to see
people in dead earnest about anything.
Even so dull business as gold get
ting may be interesting. But in the
about blindly in fierce excitement. A
little money we all need nowadays, but
there is nothing about the getting of it
that should rob us of our wits. Gold
digging is only a dull chore, and no
sane man will allow it to blind him
and draw him away from the real bles-
sings of existence"
Il am going north on the steamer
Queen to Juneau" the Professor tells
us momont later. 'for a short time.
My pricipal object is to exalnilrv, cor
tain Alaskan spruce trees and compare
them with those l have encountered
in British Columbia and California.
While l am there l shall u walk
over the Chilcoot Pass. Sut l will
have no pack to carry"
This self-contained figure of the
sturdy old scientist is by far the most
picturesque figure yet presented in the
stirring Kaleidoscope scenes Of the
Klondike country. 1t possesses dig
nity all it's own Knowing the wealth
Of gold awaiting the pick of the pros
pector across the Chilcoot Pass, and
surrounded by thousands of men fren-
zied by the prospect of sudden fortune
the old scientist is not for moment
moved to indulge in 1.-The dull chore
Of gold digging" In the interest OF
science he wishes to compare the spruce
trees Will thdI I'll Dolduo VIII IHose
of British Columbia and California!
Is John Muir wiser than the men now
| risking their lives for gold in the
Klon0ike? He is at least more con-
! tent No sane man, he thinks, viii
allow the madness of the gold fever
ito blind him and draw him away from
I the real blessings Of existence" There:
i material for thoughtful study in this
! unconsciously self-drawn picture O
the scientist in the gold fields.

Friday of last week a gang of young

FROM the way we hesr of few
Ellinwood men, who profess TO be
democrats, and whom we always have
considered democrats of good judge
ment, talking of late it would seem
that they had an idea that the demo
Gratis of the entire county should take
up their local fight. Boys, your re.
publican neighbours are making CATS
paws of you: There would be as
much reason for the national demo.
cratic party to take sides in the elec-
ton of officers in the city of New
York, as for the democrats outside of
Ellinwood to take part in your school
fight. That is local fight, and when
the republicans urge you to bring in-
nocent people, who have not had, and
cannot have, any connection with
your local differences. into the fight
they are doing it to aid their party,
aud not to help you in any manner.
It does not make any difference to
people outside of the school distri t Of
Ellin wood whether the Roetzel fac
ton or the opposing faction wins-the
side which is RIGHT and has the en-
dorsement of your own school patrons
will win. You do not care how we
settle our local differences in Great
Bend, or Hoisington, or any other
locality-it is not a matter of your
concern. Therefore we hope that the
honest democrats Of Ellinwood will
not permit themselves to be used as
suckers to help the republicans into
power in county affairs. Take a
broad, manly view of public affairs.
and if you believe in the principles of
the democratic party, stand by those
principles. It should make no differ
ence to you whether or not somebody
you do not like believes in the same
principles. IF you know they are
right. stand by them; and the best
time aud place to advance these prin
ciples is at the polls, where men are
to be elected who will uphold and ad.
vance them.

Charges were placed against three of
them in the police court the next
morning, aud the fourth one turned
loose. The fines and costs were: C..
b. Carroll $14.50 which he promptly
paid. Frank Abel and c. 81. Beck
were tapped for the same amount of
sidewalk funds, and went out on the
street in charge of Constable Dawson,
to hunt up the spondulix. In some,
to this day unexplained, manner the
two men, Abel and Beck, executed a
sneak on the constable and beat a re-
treat. "Gomez" followed hot foot into
the province OF Lakin, crossing the
Ellin wood trocha and massing his
forces for decisive battle. After the
smoke had cleared away, Beck was
again prisoner, and once more taken
before Judge Gunnell's court marshal,
where he this time dug up an even
sixteen plunks, and was then banished
to Missouri.
Abel is thought to be in hiding in
the swamps at Dartmouth siding; at
any rate Gomez has not been "Abel''

"Gomez" has not as yet been recalled
by the home government, although
there IS considerable talk among the
radicals about his raw strategic move
whereby the enemy escaped.
