IoWA's GOVERNOR is OUT.
LiberaIIty His Fart and Rascahty of
Soldiers Causes Him Loss.

DeS Moines, Oct. 5.-Gov. Shaw
promises to be out of pocket as 4 re-
suit of liberaiity in extending loans
to the hundreds of members of the
Iowa detail stationed at Camp Nc
Kinley. The government has refused
to issue pay prior to the return of the
two regiments now home on furlough,
and the governor in the goodness of his
heart placed in the hands of the ad ju-
tant-general $500 to be distributed in
the form of loans of 50 each to the
detail. Before all entitled had re-
ceived it some of the soldiers repeated
at the desk of the disbursing agent of
the governor, securing SO by signing
fictitious names. As a consequence
many are without the money intended
for them.

Satan at Camp Meeting.

During the afternoon the younger min
listers had listened to him with venera-
tion and respect, and when their turn
came they found him a dignified and
careful listener
The afternoon was delightful and the
camp meeting service was long one.
The good bishop was keen lover of the
weed, and after the meeting had closed
he strolled off for smoke AT little
distance he found an abrupt ledge en-
tirely out of the view of the camp
grounds, and going down around to the
foot of this he lit his cigar and prepared
for quiet half hour
AS it chanced. soon after one Of the
younger ministers took walk from the
grounds, and finally came TO the top of
the same ledge, and, looking down, saw
the bishop.
For the space of moment or two he
stood with gleam in his eye, and then
STOPPING down, he said in sort of tri-
umphant tone:
'Ah, Father Simmons, I've caught
you burning incense to the devil. "
The bishop took out his cigar and
turned about till he had swung the
speaker fully into view, and then added
slowly in a deep voice:
"But didn't know he was so near. y

Madrid Paper Thinks 1t should BE sued
for at Once.
Madrid, July 12.-The newspapers of
this city openly discuss the imminence
Of the ministerial crisis owing to the
attitude of Senior Gamazo, the minister
of public instruction. The Official Cor
respondencia confirms the report of the
cabinet crisis. The impartial says OF
Sundays cabinet meeting:
1--WE think Importance should be at
tached to the fact that Spain will reap
great advantages in negotiations for
peace before Santiago and Manila, and
perhaps, even Porto Rico are captured,
as, should the Americans occupy those
places. their terms will naturally be
harder"
The impartial adds: 1T is most
probable that the government will tele-
graph Captain General Blanco to this
effect, urging him to direct the opera
ton of the army towards this solution.
On General Blanco's reply depends
whether the government commences
negotiations Immediately, without
awaiting the outcome of the situation
at Santiago"
The Liberal publishes an interview
with a minister who is quoted as say
ing that a cabinet crisis might occur
today, tomorrow or next week, but in
any case 1t will not be long delayed. The
minister Is said to have added that the
crisis would be the occasion for the
whole ministry resigning in a body.

Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes
attack men and overwhelm them, but
they drive the moose, deer and caribou
up the mountains to the snow line,

Although the Alaska summer is short,

Mosquitoes and snowfakes are not
contemporaries in the States, but in
Alaska it is different. Snow does not
bother them so much as rain, and an
