The Sentinel Fled From the owls

Inc Sentlnel lfIeu From the OWl
Harrodsburg, Ky, Democrat: A few
days ago several eX-confederates, who
happened to meet in an Office Row
room, were discussing Colonel Sears
why the South Lost" published in
the Courier-Journal of Sunday. This
led to various kinds of war talk, and
~ex-County Attorney W. B. Ailin told
this one: He said that just before the
battle of Murfreesboro a detachment
of Morgan's command was guarding a
mountain pass a few miles from
Bradyviile, Tenn. A portion Of the
valley leading to the pass was densely
Woode and swampy. The marshy
ground abounded in bullfrogs of huge
proportions, and the trees afforded
myriads of owls of immense size a
roosting place. Among the soldiers
was a STRIPPING from near Stanford, by
the name of Spreeler. 1t was u gloomy,
wild and wintry night that Spreeler
was called upon to do guard duty.
Along about | o'clock, when the sky
was of a leaden hue and the wind
sighed fitfully through the trees, ar
owl on a nearby limb hooted:
"Who-who-who are you?"
"John Spreeler," exclaimed the SEN
tincl, trembling in his boots.
just at that moment a bullfrog in
deep base tones seemed to say:
"Sur-sur-surround =him!"
"IH be darned if you do" exclaimed
Spreeler, as he fired his musket and
broke for camp, which had been
thrown into the widest confusion by
the alarm, it being thought that the
enemy was attacking the outposts.
When the true state of affairs was I'M
derstood, the others made life a bur
den for John until the battle of Muir
f%reesboro, when the Lincoln county
STRIPPING was promoted for conspicu-
Gus bravery. He was afterward as
signed to Bragg's army, and died like
q hero at the "battle above the Clouds,
while in the forefront of the charge
and trying to spike the cnemy's can

NEWS SERVICE SHUT OFF,

"rH .#- -.L.| OCSUhs - "."'
Chicago, March o%.--shortly after
midnight yesterday morning the As
sociated Press discontinued it's news
service to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The action was not: unexpected. Some
time ago the big news organization
decided to abrogatc it's contract with
the newspaper because of alleged vio-
lations of agreements.
Action was deferred until the hear
ing of the Inter Oceans suit for an in.
junction before Judge Waterman. The
courts opinion, in which he decided
the contracts We're not binding on
either party, removed the only legal
obstacle to the action against the In.
ter Ocean. John p. Wilson, counsel for
the Associated Press, said last night
there are no other reasons for depriv.
ing the newspaper of the Associated
Press service beyond the charges al.
ready published.

60 ELL -H III
Havana, March 9.-Lee has received
demands from newspapers to give pro-
lection to certain correspondents
threatened with deportation. Rumor
mentions the names of only three cor
respondents and two of these at least
have for three years espoused the
cause of the Instruction. They have
been in the field with the insurgents
and expected to be ordered from Cuba
some time. 1t is said they may be in
structed to leave on Wednesdays or
Sundays steamer. If Lees advice is
followed they will go without protest.
The renewal of police methods so
common two years ago under Weyler
has caused considerable alarm among
the Cubans. who profess to see in It
the beginning OF an err of much great
err severity than hitherto has marked
the course of the Blanco administra-

Indignation Grows.

vcrmillion, March 7.-Much aston
ishment and Indignation have been ex-
pressed here since the translation of n
paragraph in n recent issue of the
Yankton Erie Presse has been given,
giving the University of South Daota
n of the "rottenest" digs that could
be made at a state institution, also at
the same time showing that papers
entire ignorance of the faculty at the
university, who, with one or two ex-
.ceptions, have all been engaged for
the past seven years. The paragraph
translated from the German language
reads as follows:
"Over 200 students are attending the
state university at Vermillion. 1t is a
pity that such a renowned institution
has such inefficient teachers
Such nm item, coming as it does at
this time of the school year, and also
at n time when the registration at the
university is the highest it has been
for nearly eight years, with nearly tho
same faculty members during that
period, is q very poor excuse for the
writer and is condemned as only an
ignoramus can be. Does it stand tc
reason that an inefficient faculty could
continue for seven years, and also have
the satisfaction of having the attend!
ance increase nearly one-hnlf during
that time? And especially during tho
past year has there been a marked in
crease. Never was the University OF
South Dakota on a better footing, its
government being first class in every
respect, and never before in it's history
having every department complete.
Why such a fling to injure the univer-
sity is made is not known, but the peo-
pie of the state in general are demand
ing an explanation.

Chamberlain, March a.-Matthew
Sheehnn, u McCook county lad, has
come to grief through his desire to see
something of the world. For two years
he had made his home with Father
Grabig, pastor of the Catholic church
at ~Bridgewater, and was always con-
sidered hoaest and upright. The other
day the boy disappeared, and shortly
after his benefactor missed the sum
of $2D in gold which he had in the
house. The boy was traced, and it
ascertained that he had purchased
a railroad ticket to Silver City, Utah.
He was captured, but only $13O of the
money was recovered. It is thought a
term in the state reform school will
benefit him,

CONGRESS BEHIND The PRESIDENT
Party Lines are Forgotten and All
are Ready to Help as the
-a President Suggests,

Washington, March 9.-The senti-
inent at the capital, especially on the
house side, is unanimous in support of
she action of the president In declining
70 recall Lee. The immense gravity
Of the situation seems to profoundly
IMPRESS the members, who stood about
.hc Hobbies before the house met. With
out regard to party, all united in COM
Mending the presidents stand, and the
unanimous desire was expressed to
support any measures he may deem
necessary to maintain the American
contention.
Representative Livingstone of Geor-
via, the minority member of the ap-
preparations committee, and Bodine,
The minority member of the naval af-
fairs committee, both declared they
would vote for anything the president
asked. Congress ought to be solidly
behind the president now" said Liv-
ingstone. "This is no time for criti-
.ism or pickering of any kind. In the
face of impending foreign war party
lines should be forgotten. We are
Americans first, partisans afterwards"
1t ran be stated on the highest au-
thority that the attitude of Speaker
Reed and some other republican lead
ers who sought to keep down the,
lingo spirit in the house has been mis-
understood by the public. Their pur-
pose in delaying action On a bill Great
ing two additional regiments of artil-
lery was to prevent so far as possible
any undue alarm. While it is not gem
orally known it is nevertheless true the
republican leaders of the house have
given the administration the assurance
that any action which may be neces-
sary to uphold the dignity Of the coun-
try will be promptly ratified. The adj
ministration understands that the ma
jority in the house is behind them;
that money and men will be voted
without stint when called for.

Uuron, March o.-The populist state
central committee has been called to
meet in this city on Thursday, March
II, to name the time and place for
holding their state convention for the
nomination of candidates for state Of
fees. Among towns that will ask for
the convention are Huron, Sioux Falls,
Aberdeen and Watertown. The ques-
ton of fusion is likely to command at
tention at the hands of the commit
tee, and as it is known that some Of the
members are strongly opposed to fu-
sion it is likely that the discussion will
be animated. The middle of the road
faction" is busy creating sentiment in
their favor, and they will be on hand
at the committee to secure if possible
n recommendation or Endorsement Of
the committee for a straight populist
ticket. 1t is probable that the conven-
ton date will be early.

a WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Ainsxa or tho
~ Ift,uStL fsNi.l lGiclds

To Those Coming to Alnsxn or thc
lkiondikc Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
ever miner, prospcctor or trader com-
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the ncces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other one
thing will his success OF failure de-
pend.
These supplies must be healthful
and should be concentrated, but the
most careful attention in the selection
of foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the help.essness of a
miner with n can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best Houri
it is the cheapest in the end, Experi-
ence has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. BE sure that the ba-
con is sweet, sound and thoroughly
cured. These are the absolute neces-
stiles upon which all must place u
chief reliance, and can under no cir
cumstances be neglected. They may,
of course, be supplemented by as many
comforts Dr. delicacies us the prospec-
tor may be able to pack or desire to
pay for.-From the Alaska Mining
Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds of
cookery, which is specially valuable
for use upon the trail or in the camp,
is published by the Royal Baking Pow
der Company of New York. The re-
ceipts are thoroughly practical, and
h methods are carefully explained,
so that the inexperienced may, with its
aid, readily prepare everything requi-
site for a good, wholesome meal, or
even dainties if he has the necessary
materials. The matter is i'll compact,
though-durable form, the whole book
weighing but two ounces. Under a
special arrangement this book will be
sent free to miners or others who may
desire it. We would recommend that
every n going to the Klondike pro-
cure a copy. Address the Royal Bak-
ing Powder CO., New York.
