pctizing, nourishing food drink to
take the place of coffee. Sold by all

critics. Grain-O aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. 1t is not a
stimulant, but a health builder, and

intense amazeme1t that the
odor of spirits was emitted
by the tiny stream of water
itself. He placed his lips to
the sparkling flow and con-
frmed the evidence of his
nostrils. 1t was not a
stream of pure water, but Of
soriething that tasted and
smelled very much like alco-
hol. The strange discovery
was reported to the authorl'
ties, and a party of Colquet
people went out to the
spriug to investigate. They
found things just as reported
by Mr.. Gary and returned
to town with a bucket full
of the liquid for the purpose
of analysis. The sample
was submitted to the several
saloon keepers and others
claiming to be judges of
spirits, and pronounced by
all to be simple combination
of alcohol and water, not
unlike the spirits sold in any
saloon or drug store.
The spring was discovered
several months ago by one
of the Indians. The secret
was known only to the chief
and the other members of
the band, who guarded it
closely that they might enjoy
the frewater to their hearts
content, without danger of
molestation by the authorl'
ties or others.
The spring is on a quarter
section of land owned by
Charles Dumont, of West
Superior, who has already
taken steps to protect his
newly discovered bonanza.

that the cultivation of cot
ton is not only leaving your
old debts unpaid, but con-
tinually subjecting you to
new ones? You are ruin

crops of corn, wheat, oats

thereby causing your horses

in the year all for what? If
it be for exercise, you Ger
tainly get it. If it be for
cash, your efforts are a fail
ure, as a calculation of your
investments and results for
the last five years will prove.
Now, suppose we try to
raise enough corn to sell
some this year. If the
market falls, we can make
use of it to advantage; but
not so with cotton.
With best wishes for the

we make our exit.

Il Spring Of Whisky.

tlC lOWu duluOl lllCS duSt
government officials have
been trying to find out where
a number of drunken Indians
got their whisky. A certain
clique composed of a dozen
Chippewa braves, known as
"Men-ko.te. Berry
Pickers," had been glo-
riously drunk for many
suns" and all efforts to
locate the source of their
hilarlty have beeu unavail-
ing until last Monday, when
a discovery was made which
may revolutionize the liquor
traffic of the world.
Old Chief Men-ko.to-way-
wa and two other Indians
live in a log house a few
miles from Colquet. 1t is
there where the drunken
Indians had been doing the
most of their drinking, but
all previous efforts to detect
the liquor going into the
house has been defeated by
the cautious movements of
the cunning druukards.
Upon this occasion, however,
they were too drunk to
maintain their customary
vigilance, and the plant was
soon discovered by jim
Gary, ia hunter and trap
per, who had volunteered to
act the part of a detective
for the authorities.
Gary hid behind a clum p
of Jack Pines a short dis
tance from the chiefs cabin
last Monday afternoon and
watched the only entrance to
the place for an hour before
his vigilance was rewarded,
while the woods resounded
with the hideous sounds of
Indian revelry.
Atlast one of the Indians
staggered out of the house,
CARRYING a bucket in one
hand and a tin cup in the
other.
Gary watched his man
until he had staggered out
of sight on the return trip
and then went to the spot
where the Indian had filled
his pail, expecting to find a
cask of liquor concealed
under the snow. He saw
nothing but a thin stream of
clear water that trlckled
from a crevasse in a bed Of
slab rock and disappeared
unter the snow, evidently
one of the springs which fed
|
the creek below.
He was about to return
home in disgust when the
odor of spirits attracted his
attention. Thinking the
wary Indians had hidden
their spirits near the spring
in order to account for their
presence in that neighbor'
hood with buckets in their
hands. Gary made a care
full search of the vicinity
but without avail. The
unmistakable odor of the
spirits reached his nostrils,

change IN SPANS DYNASTY
DON CARLOS is POSSIBLE
There Is a Rumor That the Little
King May Abdicnte and That Don
Carlos May BE Given the Throne
The FiIipinos in Europe Are Much
Disturbed.

London, Nov. 2l.-A curious report in
regard to SPANS future government is
current in diplomatic circles, which, from
its source, is entitled to weight. 1t is
that there will be change of dynasty,
but peaceful change. The queen regent
is said to be convinced of the hopeless
ness of her sons reign and has, upon the
advice of the emperor of Austria, decided
that after the peace treaty is signed at
Paris to quit Spain with her family, and
Don Carlos will be proclaimed king. Ev-
erything is reported to be already ar
ranged, and the army and the clergy are
alleged to be agreeable to the change.
According to the program, Don Carlos, so
soon as things are running smoothly, Will
abdicate in favor of his son. Don Jaime
FiIipinos Excited.
There is much agitation among the Fill
Pine representatives in Europe over the
Philippine situation. Agoncillo, the repre-
sentative of Aguinaldo, who has been in
Paris watching the proceedings of the
peace commission, starts for Washington
today. 1t is learned that on Wednesday
last he called a meeting of all the Fill
pinos in Paris and London to meet him III
Paris, when committee was formed with
the object of doing everything possible t.
induce France to recognize the so-called
Filipino republic. A telegram was sent tc
Aguinaldo asking for instructions and the
following reply is said to have been re
ceived:
Insist on absolute independence. 9th
erwise fight to the death. We are all unit
ed and the government is progressing
smoothly. All the Independent tribes o.
the mountains are submitting to Aguin
aldo and the chiefs are bringing presents
of gold.'

CALIFORNIA CROPS SAVED.
Thorough and Soaking Rains Have
Rescued the Wheat Crop.

San Francisco, Nov. 2l.-All parts of
California have received a thorough soak
ing if indications are reliable. The Sac
ramento and San Joaquin valleys, the
great wheat producing centers of the
state, have received a drenching and farm
ers now express the opinion that the
crops have been saved.
In mining centers the water has been
so low that some mines have had to close
down, but they will resume operations
next week, now that rain has fallen. In
southern California rain is greatly need
ed but the indications are favorable for
downpOur and all danger of a continu-
ance of the drought is practically over.

HARvEsTS OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR.
Gathered From the Locks of Euro
pean Peasants.

Women with scanty locks ought to like
to know that there are hair harvests, just
as there are wheat harvests! The idea
does not sound very nice. but that it is
useful we must all agree. The hair har-
vest is a much surer crop than the grain
one 1t does not depend on the weather.
To leave that side Of the subject, most of
the hair women wear comes from Switzer-
land, Germany and France. There is a hui
man hair market in the lower Pyrenees
held every Friday. Scores of hair buyers
walk up and down the village streets,
their shears dangling from the belts, and
examine the tresses which the peasant
girls let down for their inspection. If
bargain is struck the hair is cut and the
nioIey paid on the spot. These girls have
fine hair. Strangely enough, peasants Of
ten have much better locks than highly
educated women. Civilization does not
seem to care for heavy hair.
That which is cut off by the dealer
himself is the best. Dealers can easily tell
whether the locks offered them have been
cut or combed out. They do this by
rubbing the hair through their fingers. If
the hair has been cut from the head and
has not been misplaced it remains in the
original position. If it has been pulled
or combed out and put together, regard
less of the direction in which it grew, one
portion will slip to the right and another
to the left. 1t does this because the jag
ged edges catch upon each other and pull
in opposite directions.

Rir Eruit business.

San Francisco, Nov. 20-Deciduous
fruit shipments from California to the
eastern markets have about ceased for the
season of 1898, with the exception OF
grapes and apples, which still go for
ward.
The total shipment for the season to
date amount to 1850 cars, as against $500
cars for last season. This is falling off
of $50 cars, which is considerably less
than was anticipated early in the season.
owing to the drought.
Prunes, raisins and dried fruits are
moving east in large quantities. 1t is es-
timated that the raisin shipments will
amount to 1000 cars.
