The fifth constitutional amendment
listed in the Governors proclamation
is harmless, but it is unnecessary. 1t
is supposed to settle the succession in
the office Of Governor if the incum-
bent dies or is removed 1t means
more patchwork for the Constitution
and is needless. The law as it stands
as interpreted by the courts makes
the succession sufficiently clear and
certain.

Novel Methods of birmingham (England)
Clergymen to Attract Congregations.
A novel church service was announced
to be held at St Laurence's church, Bir-
mingham, says the London Daily Mail
On a recent Sunday the vicar, the Rev. Il.
j. Bass, invited the congregation to take
part in 'scrubbing service" which
would be held in the church next day. be-
ginning at half past and lasting until
half past 0.
Soap, water and patent scrubbers would,
he said, be provided, and all the congrega-
ton, male and female, were eligible to
lend hand in cleaning the church.
The church has had curious history
and has been blessed with curious collec-
tion of Wears. Some eight or ten years
ago the parish, which is the most poverty
stricken In all Birmingham, was controlled
by the Rev. j. +. M. Whish, and he, find
ing the services languishing from lack of
worshipers, hit upon all sorts of queer ex-
pedents for compelling them to come in.
He announced the most flaming series
OF discourses ever given publicity to by
handful and poster. pigeon flying, "a
Good Day on the Course and kindred
topics were dealt with instead of orthodox
Scriptural topics.
InOushuus OF printed caruS were C1rCu-
lated each week bearing such affectionate
inscriptions as:
Come and hear your old pal, the Rev.
j. +. NJ. Whish."
"Now, then, buck upl Give your old
pal Whish another trialr'
Other cards would contain an exhorta-
ton signed:
Il remain your true pal, j. f. NJ
Whish."
This original vicar would go into public
houses during the dinner hour and, ad-
dressing the company, would say:
"Well gentlemen, you have given my
friend the landlord a good turn. Now fin
ish up at my little place on the other side
Of the road"
Special services were held-one week for
pigeon fliers, another week for sweeps and
a third for sandwich men.
Mr.. Whish's successor was as devoted
and faithful a vicar as his predecessor. but
lacked Mr.. Whish's humor and discretion.
He gave so narrowing q description of the
denizens of the courts and alleys in the
parish to a local journalist that those
whom he freely described as bawkers,
rogues and loose women resented his de-
scription of them by breaking his windows.
A washing service was recently an
nounced, and doubtless the interior of the
church warranted the appeal made for the
services Of an army of cleaners.

NEW CATTLE DISEASE.
Nebraska Stock Raisers Greatly Alarmed
by This Unexpected Calamity.


Nebraska cattlemen are seriously con-
cerned over the number of communica-
tions from stockmen near Hooper, Neb.,
addressed to the governor, complaining
of a new and fatal disease among the
cattle there. Nothing similar has ever
been seen in Nebraska, and experienced
stockmen assert that the disease is un-
like anything they have ever heard of.
All the letters designate the disease
as foot rot 4" Hundreds of cattle have
died recently of the disease. The feet OF
the afflicted animals turn black in a
night, and within "a hours begin to
peel and crumble away until nothing
but the bone is left. This disintegrates
In from three to five days, and the cat
tie die in great agony, apparently of
blood poisoning. The disease spreads
from herd to herd in short time. The
cattlemen are greatly alarmed and beg
the governor to do something for them.

CITY HALL OF LOGS.
Remarkable Structure to BE Built In
Rainy Lake City.

Rainy Lake City.
Rainy Lake City, the metropolis Of
northern Minnesota is to have new city
hall and will dedicate it in few weeks.
The building has been under construction
for the last month and is probably the
most remarkable edifice of the kind i'm ex-
istonco.
The structure is built of peeled pine
logs, varying in diameter from to 12
inches and dovetailed at the corners with
projecting ends. The building is "a feet
long, 10 feet wide and but s feet high to
the caves, sloping to the extreme height Of
about ii feet in the center At one end
two rooms, each feet square, are parti-
toned off to serve rs village Jail, the
only entrance to them being from the main
council chamber The floor of the council
chamber is Of planks, and there are four
windows, each by feet, and each, wheth-
er In jail or chamber heavily barred with
iron. There is no ceiling, and the inside
walls are but the counterparts of those
outside, the peeled logs showing on both
sides, with thinking of mud to keep the
wind and snow from getting through.
Rainy Lake City came into being as the
center of the i'll starred boom that followed
the gold discoveries three years ago. 1t
was soon found that the new city had been
built in swamp and was about as far
from the actual discoveries of gold as it
could be and remain on the same water
ways. The discoveries of gold have con
tinued and increased until now there is an
area of thousands of square miles known
to contain gold in greater or less quanti-
ties. but Rainy Lake City is as far away
from the goldfields as over.-New York

story in the Record of that city: 'We
had at one time in our employ a very
green young woman. This young wom-
an also came to US through an intelli-
gence co Office. She showed her in
telligence on the first day of her serv-
ice in our family. She was told to go
out in the yard and take down the
clothesline, which was stretched among
a half-dozen posts set up for that pur-
pose. She was at the job for SO long a
time that we began to wonder what on
earth was the matter with her. We
went out to see what she was doing,
and there we found her working away
vigorously with a spade. She had al
ready dug up three of the posts, and
had almost completed the work on a
fourth when we found her. She didn't
stay with US long"

The predictions for the receipts
from the Upper Yukon III 1898 are
gnesswork, although the latest return
ed miners make it appear that it will
be over S2O,OOO,0O0, says The Review
of Reviews. But if it is $12,000,000,
the most conservative estimate now
offered it will be wonderful and
will mean that with all the will
ing hands now there and the hundred
thousand or more who go in 1898 the
yield for 1899 will approximate $780,
100000. After that it depends on
transportation facilities to get people
and machinery into the country to
multiply the placer yields, and few
years more will probably see the Yu
kon ranges the steady crunching of
Gre by stamp mills to add to the
worlds gold supply.

BELIEVES IN SUFFOCATION,
Russian Sect Which Thinks Martyr.
dom Necessary to Reach Heaven

Russian Sect Which Thinks Martyr
dom Necessary to Reach Heaven.
Following upon the recent revela tons
concerning the self-immolating fanatics
in the district of Tiraspol, Russia, the
newspapers now report that there is
sect III the province of Kazan, the mem
bers of which advocate death by suffo-
cation, believing that Heaven can only
be gained by suffering martyrdom in
this life. Consequently, says the Jon
don Daily News, when any member Of
the sect is supposed to be on the point of
death, a small cushion is placed over
the sufferers mouth and held there I'M
til sutfocation ensues, the other men,
bers standing around and singing
psalms.
The work of suffocation is usually
performed by an old woman, who is
paid by the sect, and who is obliged
to attend at once when a member is
dying. AS, however, it would be dan
gerous to carry on these practices in
dwelling houses, the person to be suf-
located is transported to a secret rem
devious, and, after death, is buried in
some wood or ravine, all traces of the
grave being carefully obliterated.
The report was recently current at
kazan that the police had discovered
one of the meeting places of the sect,
but no confirmation of this is obtain
able
