When the Democratic Party
Will be Dead

When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fsherworm swallows the
whale
When the robins knit woolen socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodlebugs travel like hogs,
When grasshoppers feed like hens.
And feathers are growing on frogs,
When Thomas cats swim i'll the air,
And elephants roost in trees;
When icseCtS.ln summer ire rare.
And snuff never makes people sneeze
When mules on bicycles ride;
When foxes lay eggs IN the sand,
And women III dress takes no pride;
When Dutchmah no longer drinks
beer,
And girls get to preaching on time;
When billy goats butt from the rear,
Aud treason S no longer crime;
When hum ming birds tray like an
ass,
And limburger smells like cologne;
When ploughshares are made out of
glass,
Aud the hearts of true white men as
stone;
When ideas grow in fusionists head,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
THEN the Democratic party will be
dead,
And the country wont be worth DIM

HAS LOCATED PIRATE GOLD.
Cnpt. Henderson Claims to Have Sc
cured Buried Treasure.


SPRINGFIELD. o., Nov. 12.-Capt
Charles A. Henderson, whose residence
is Philadelphia, although in several
months he has spent little time there
has just returned from the Tristan da
Cunha group of islands OF the eastern
coast of South America, where he Sc
cured pirate treasure valued at $175,-
Geo. The treasure island is located
about thirty-five miles due south OF
this group and about forty miles south
west of the Nightingale island, which
IS the principal of the group.
Capt. Henderson is the guest of his
old friend. Mayor r. L. Grimes, Of
Jackson, O. Today he detailed an ac-
count Of his experience. exhibiting a
result Of his trip certificate of de-
posit for $4,000 on the Third National
Bank Of Philadelphia, besides other
treasures.
Capt Henderson left New Orleans on
Feb. % on the Louisa B. for the treas
ure island. and arrived there on the
return trip only a few days ago. On
his return he was unsuccessfully chas-
ed by Spanish gunbOat. Claude
Thompson, Of Jackson, accompanied the
captain on his successful cruise.
The treasure was hidden on the ISL
and thirty three years ago in a cavern
by Capt. Henderson and three other
men OF the crew Of the pirate ship
Lark. which was driven into a small
harbor by a gunboat and was then
scuttled. The crew attempted TO es-
cape in small boats. but Henderson and
a companion were the only two that
did SO. and the companion died a few
weeks later Of smallpox
Henderson shipped on the Lark on
the Misrepresentation that II was a
fruiter. Capt. Summers, in command.
took a fancy TO him, and he remained
on the vessel, although at first il was
repugrant 70 him. He had made sew
eral unsuccessful efforts 10 reach the
island.

ment, therefore, devoted all its ener-
gies 10 providing VI sufficient supply Of
the carbon powders. Later, and as
rapidly as possible, the manufacture
was changed 10 smokeless powders.
SMOKELESS POWDER.
1T should be stated, however, that
smokeless powder only was manufac-
trred for field and siege artillery. The
fact that the field and siege artillery
was to be employed was not determin-
ed until about the time that war was
decnred, and there were no funds
available for procuring ammunition
for these guns before that time. The
preparation Of smOkeless powder am
munition for these guns commenced at
once, but il was necessary TO issue
Immediately the ammunition on hand
for the batteries that were sent TO the
front. End, &c this was all charcoal
powder ammunition, il accounts for
the fact that only this black or char
coal powder ammunition was generally
used in actual service against the enc
my"
The furnishing of field and siege
guns and ammunition for the war
raised the same difficulties as in other
branches of the ordnance equipment.
yet the bureau furnished some guns
for the Manila and Porto Rican eZpe-
ditions. The artillery was not used at
Santiago TO any extent. OF the siege
guns, twenty-five were sent out at the
beginning Of the war.
Following a Tecapitulation of the
land battle at Santiago and the guns
in the Spanish forts, Gen. F1agler says:
~ he vtr has furnished no apportu-
nifty for determining by experience the
effect Of modern sea coast armament
against modern batt.eSaips. The re-
suits Of the experience gained, how
ever, tend 10 confirm the opinion tn I
the fire from ships cannot silence the
fire or seriously cripple the armament
Of cur modern batteries. but ships
could not withstand the fire Of our
modern batteries. and DIRT. therefore,
the ships cannot attack the batteries
successfully. Whether the ships can
run by the batteries without too great
risk has not been shown. This Will
depend on the skill and "a Didity with
which the guns are served. provided
the ships are not stopped by the
mines"
Considerable attention Is devoted TO
the progress Of work i the various
arsensls and the guns which are being
made. On Sept 80, 1899 there were
az sea coast guns mounted. Il is es-
t:mated that on June 80. 1889. there
will be 500, and on the same date in
1890. 1.169.

YIELD OF $21,2l5.ooo.
The Output of the KIOndike Country
Up to Date.


Much has been said and pub
lished about the gold output of the
Klondike, but up to the present time
no one has given anything like an ac-
curate estimate Of the gold that has
been received at Pacific coast points
from the new Eldorado.
The following figures are as accurate
as can be obtained and give only the
gold itself, as all gold represented by
drafts generally followed them on the
next steamer.
The record was kept from Jan. !. 1893.
but the first shipment after that date
arrived on Jan. II. and was Of the out
put OF 1897.
Only three shipments of gold were re-
corded in January: On the 18th, ST.
10000 on the 21st, $3.50 600, ard on the
18th, $4,000, making a roIal OF 81 $50, =
On Feb. 7th. $4,000 arrived, the only
gold for that month.
No gold arrived in March, and the
only april consignment arrived on the
18th. and amounted to 5000, 900.
Like March. June drew a blank. but
July shipments were heavy, $12. 995. COO
being placed to the credit of that
month. The amounts were as follows:

BANK OF CLAY A GOLD MINE.
Maine Farmer Discovers Thousands
of Tons.

OF IOnS.
CAMDEN, Me, Sept. 1.-The New
England farmer who owns a bank of
white aluminous clay that is free from
grit and capable of being ground to a
fine mass of white powder has no need
of going to the Klondike or seeking
other fields of wealth, because the pa
permakers will take all the clay he
can produce and pay him $40 to $12 a
ton for the same and thank him for
the privilege. Henry Powers, of this
town. who owns a small farm on this
side of Mount Megunticook and sells
picking cucumbers in the Boston mar
ket for 81 a barrel, thinks he has dis
covered one Of these much sought clay
mines at the back end of his lot in a
damp, Doggy place, which will not grow
cucumbers.
1t was the desire for more cucumbers
that led to the discovery. Bowers was
dltching his bogland TO draw off the
water one day in June, and when he
had gone through some three feet of
black muck his spade ran deep into a
hard, white clay that was tough to
cut and which shook like jelly when
agitated. Having worked in q paper
mill in Orono for two winters and
knowing that the makers of white pa
per used about 80 per cent of a Ger
man clay in their stock, he took some
of his mineral home and dried 1t In
the oven Of his cook stove. When the
water had been dispelled he ground
the mass in the family coffee mill and
sent a few pounds of the powder to a
large paper mill in Berlin Falls, n. II.
In about a week he received word that
the sample he had forwarded was as
good as the best that could be had in
Europe, and that the company would
pay him S12 a ton for all he could pro-
duce AS the total cost of digging,
drying, grinding and boxing the clay
does not exceed 81 a ton, and as there
are a million tons Of 1t on the Bowers
place, the finder has high hopes Of
becoming a millionaire, and will at
once start in to build up his fortune.
Until four years ago agalite was the
only clay material that could be en-
ployed in making white paper Later
a deposit Of white clay was found in
South Carolina, which has been large
ly used as a substitute for the imported
article. The South Carolina product
sells for So a ton, while agalite COM
manded SIS. AS the Camden clay IS
said to be as good as the best, 1t will
no doubt come into general use. Both
the Camden and the South Carolina
products are composed of lime and
alumnia and contain no sand of any
kind. The clay found in Camden Is
much the whittier, making it valuable
to papermakers.

Figures From "A Number of Counties

The figures which came in early last

that Judge Canty was elected. When,
however, the Otter Tail returns showed
less than 200 majority for Canty and
corrections came in adding to Lewis
