Cattle Utilized For Smuggling Opium.
''Some of the shrewdest tricks
ever played are by the smugglers of
opium, 'said H. A. Tanning Of Seat
tie, Wash. "A very unique snug
Cling scheme was unearthed few
years ago by United States secret
service officers in North Dakota. It
was noticed that an unusually large
number of cattle were being driven
across the line to the North Dakota
markets, and the secret service men
planned an investigation. For some
time their work was in vain, and
they had about given up hope Of
discovering any unlawful opera
tons when an accident revealed the
fact that the nostrils of the cattle
were stuffed with. opium wrapped
carefully in tinfoil. In this way
each steer was worth twice it's nor
NAL value. Hundreds upon hundreds
of animals had been driven across
the border with their nostrils loaded
with opium, and it was estimated
that the smugglers had cleaned up
a profit Of $25, 900 before the discov-
cry was made But the smugglers
were sly, and they escaped and were
never captured.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

The Due1ist's disease.

Dr.. Pean, according to the Paris
Figaro, was once called as physi-
clan to attend duel One of the adj
versaries was so cowardly that he
ran away after the first shot, I'M
hurt. The four seconds, the remain
ing combatant and the doctor stood
looking at each other with embar-
rassment and discontinue, when
DIR. Pean broke the silence by say
ing gravely, II know the diseased
that has suddenly attacked this gen
tleman.'' And, taking out his PEN
Gil and paper, he drew up report
as follows: cat the first shot Mr.. K.
was taken with sudden attack of
t.achypodia that would not yield to
treatment. The seconds, therefore,
on consultation with the physician,
stopped the duel. - Thus ''honor"

To Duluth Unions.
TLUTH. MIMI, April 1898

DULUTH, MIMI, April 1898.
GREETING accordan
with instructions from the
Union Label League, we here
by extend cordial Invitation
to all trade and labor organiza
tons of Duluth to affiliate with
this body.
The object Of the Union Lab
e1 League is to promote the
patronage of fair products
that is, such goods as bear the
union label, or that may be
otherwise identified as having
been made under union condi-
tons; and to further the pat
ronage of all public establish
ments employing exclusively
members of unions, which may
be distinguished by window
cards, etc.
The union label is a potent
factor in the solution of the
labor problem. It's extended
recognition creates a greater
demand for union-made goods
and the organized agitation to
this end brings the various
unions into close and naturally
harmonious relations, and gives
them a better mutual unde r.
standing of each others inter-
ests.
In order to keep every mem
Der of organized labor fully in
formed in regard to the work
and progress of the league,
each union should be repre-
scented by at least one delegate,
although affiliated unions are
entitled to three delegates, the
monthly dues being Is cents
per month for each union rep
resented. .2 ~.E-.. q
Please elect delegates at once
to represent you, and so aid in
the work of promoting the de-
for union-made goods.
Yours fraternally,
F. H. LOUNsBERRY,
President. /

Secretary.

Victory for Longshoremez,.

The longshoremen had some little diff
fculty in getting the raise of 10 per cent
asked for. The union men refused to
load several vessels at the 40 cent rate
and non union mon were hired to do the
work. Other boats coming in the next
day, however, paid the price asked and
now it is practically settled that all
boats loading shall pay SO cents an hour.
The men were quiet and undemonstra-
tive but determined to carry their point.
This is victory for the sturdy long
shoremen.

A curious freak OF nature has re-
Gently been discovered on Goat island,
at Niagara Falls. II is no less than
two trees of the Siamese Twin pattern,
which have been attracting attention
In various parts OF the country. The
connecting limb between the two trees
on Goat island Is believed to be the
longest connection OF the kind yet
found, and It is very much Of novelty.
The two trees connected are red ce-
dars. The larger OF the two trees is
about forty feet high, and about two
feet from the base. where the tree is
thirty-nine and one-half inches in cir
conference, the connecting limb shoots
out. At the point where the branch
leaves the larger tree 1t is six inches
In circumference. At a distance of
thirty inches from the larger tree the
branch passes through a crotch In a
white birch tree, which is fifty-seven
inches In circumference just below the
crotch. In height the birch is taller
than the cedars surrounding il. Then
the course Of the connecting branch
inclines downward and connects with
the second cedar about a foot from
its base. The length of the branch is
nine feet and one inch. II is four and
thrce-quarter inches in circumference
at the birch tree and seven inches in
circumference where II joins the sec
ond tree This second tree is twenty
seven inches in circumference and
about thirty feet high. Two other tree
spring from the same root, one o.
which is nineteen inches In circu.l-
ference, the other fourteen inoaes.
There is nothing to tell from Nhien
tree the branch first sprung, but II
seems clear that II originally started
from the larger tree. passed. through
the crotch of the birch, when all the
trees were young, and In some manner
formed a union with the second tree,
but the junction OF the limb with the
two trees is very similar. The size OF all
the trees is evidence that the strange
connection between the two trees is one
many years old, and the size and
height OF the respective parts OF the
old birch tell the same story. The
trees and the limb connecting them are
alive, as is seen by the growth OF the
limb between the birch and the big
cedar. This strange connection be-
tween the trees is considered such a
wonderful freak OF nature that Supt.

Chlcago's Milk Supply.

~ H. Warren, a dairy farmer Of
Wasco, ILL.,, has written an open letter
TO Commissioner OF Health Reynolds
in reply to the circular sent to pro-
ducers, handlers and shippers OF milk
for the Chicago market. This circular
dealt with the danger of contamination
OF the milk supply. Mr.. Warren says
the old dairymen, who are careful in
their handling Of milk. are discouraged
because OF the starvation price OF
milk"-a yearly average of cents a
quart-pald by the dealers In Chicago.
Many. therefore, are selling their cows.
probably to give place to new dairy
men who are not competent or willing
to deliver as good an article in as good
condition as the old dairymen. He
thinks some measure should be taken
to give the men who own the cows a
living price for their milk and remove
the temptation to employ cheap,
slovenly help in the dalries. Commits
sioner Reynolds commends the writer
for ibis intelligent presentation of the
case" but says: "of course, the de-
partment OF health cannot regulate the

St Louis Females Remarkable Appetite.
for tho Sour FIuid.
From the st. Louis Republic For the
simple pleasure OF only a momentarI
exhilaration persons become addicted
to various habits In partaking of HARM
full drugs which tear down the system
and ruin the brain. but the latest freak
to attract the notice OF physicians lie
a vinegar fend. A slight, flashing
eyed little woman Of about 30 years,
who acted like a bunch of unstrung
nerves, fitted into the city dispensary
yesterday afternoon and took seat
beside the desk OF DR.. X. NJ. Hughes.
She gave her name as Elizabeth Fin
negan OF 721 Gratiot street. The doc
tor made an examination of his patient
and asked her what the trouble was.
Upon inquiry he found she was suffer-
ing from stomach trouble; then he
learned that II had been brought
about by the excessive use OF vinegar,
to which habit she said she had been
addicted for several months. II first
contracted the craving for something
sour when / was sick with bilious fe-
yer last spring" she said. There was
nothing In the house | cared to drink.
Water tasted bitter, and one day be-
came so thirsty drank glass OF vim
egar. It just suited my taste. and
drank II until was well. still I had
craving for the sour draught and
continued to drink It in large quanti-
ties every day since. At first II was
simply to quench thirst which could
not satisfy with water but now It has
grown into a confirmed habit which
cannot check. II Is not only the taste
| crave, but the effect. II fires my
mind and makes me feel SO queer
sometimes do not know where am"
DIR. Hughes gave her a prescription and
told her to return. 1T Is one OF the
rarest cases I ever had" said the doc
tor, land | am somewhat at loss to
know how to treat II. You see. II may
be as bad as the liquor habit, and In
that event she will have to undergo
similar treatment to that of the BIZ
chloride OF gold cure. | do not think
drugs will be OF any avail as long as
she has recourse to the vinegar bottle.
II seems to be habit fastened on by
an almost Unsuitable craving, and alb
sence Of the drug may be necessary to
effect cure. II she drank simple CT
der vinegar II would be different, but
the combination that is sold nowadays
for vinegar is far from pure. II is
mixture OF strong acids, which arv
well-nigh poison. as shown In the case
OF this woman. The drugs we're -
powerful they have eaten out the lin
ing Of her stomach and infused for
eign element in her blood. II she is
cured 1t will be gratifying to note"
