the first reader grade is especially de-
signed to furnish series of easy
supplementary reading lessons for the
youngest children at school; Fairy
Stories and Fables haye to do with
talking animals and with strange in
cidents and transformations such as al
ways delight the childish fancy, the
Three Bears, Tom Thumb, Puss in
Boots, being among the interesting
number.
One of the series is an interesting
little work on Plants and their Child
rem by Mrs. William Star Dana. It is
couched in the language Of short
words, and is amusing as we'll as IN
structiye. It takes the child into the
orchard, the apiary, in the garden, and
in the field. Mrs. Kelley contributes
a work on the moth, butterfly and the
shy neighbors OF that class of insects.
Probably the most interesting of the
series is the historical group. Guerber
and Clarke are considered the most
authentic writer's of ancient history,
and as Clarke gives the stories of
Aeneas, Troy and the Arabian Nights
in the finest manner, so does Guerber
write of the Greeks and Romans and
of the Chosen People, books that are
not only insteresting to the young
student, but also to the advanced
reader. The Trojan war, the advance
and fall of the Roman Empire, the
sciences of the Greeks are all touched
up in blackboard style. Mr.. Baldwin
contributes series of old stories of
the East, and some old Greek stories
that are particularly interesting, while
DeFoe's Robinson Crusoe is given as
one of the supplementary readings of
the series. The entire 16 volumes can
be purchased at very low price of the
American Book Co., Chicago, Cincin-
natl or New York, and school room
should not be without them.

The American Book Co. has acquired
q high standard for it's many superb
works for the school-works that can

School Readings is this fact no better
substantiated.
There are sixteen volumes in the
serles-one as interesting as the other,
and all full of good things. The sto-
ries of American life and adventure

American world, makes school re ading

named Bates, with $500. Bates went
up to the region and located three OF
four claims and cleared up at least
$4,000 and returned to Seattle, and
divided that amount with the ex-coun-
ty attorney.
Alfred states that he went up to
Dawson City in September last, imme-
diately after his return from Honolulu
He said that Dawson was larger
town than Redwood Falls, and he be.
lieved the streets we're nearly as good
All of the buildings in the mining
burg are of frame, and none of them
are over two stories high. He says
that nearly everything served at the
table is evaporated. He remembers
distinctly of getting some excellent
meals at Is cents each, and wages
we're then running from $40 to SIS per
day. Alfred made a round Of the diff
ferent mining claims, and stated that
the Mccormick claim was undoubt-
eddy paying the largest. The diff.
Guilty in getting the gold comes from
the necessity of having to thaw out the
ground. He thinks that many thous-
ands OF dollars are being pulled out
daily now. He made the trip on a
boat up the Yukon river, and says that
about all the woods person secs
along that stream is a brush closely
resembling our gooseberry brush.
The young man observed that there
we're not over 20 women in the town
when he left, and he says that those
of this sex who return to Seattle come
back with any sum ranging from
$4,000 upwards.
Alfred states that his father, with
Bates, and a capitalist, chartered a
boat early this spring, and took men
up to their claims, located by Bates,
near Circle City, with the view of hav-
ing them get out the gold. The crew
consisted of SO men, and they were
provisioned for q long stay. He be-
lieved that his father aud partners
would make q good thing out of the
mines.
Seattle, he says is q dead town, ow-
ing to the fact that the gambling
element control it, aud that 90 many
returning stranded Klondikers have
returned there. Property worth
SIS, 900 q year ago could not be sold
for $4,000 at the present writing. The
gamblers and thugs are exceptionally
bold, he said, holding up men in broad
daylight, while the smoothest conf
dence men in the world are located
there, according to Alfred. He is also
of the opinion that only about one man
out of 100 will strike it rich in the
Alaskan gold fields. d
His mother resides in Seattle, and q
little girl has been added to the Mad
igan family since it left here.

TRAVELLING INCO6.

Mayor Philbrick has been absent for
several weeks. On leaving the city he
expressed desire to q friend that he
could travel incognito. The expression
seems to have been carried out
to the letter by our cor
pulent mayor, who, while being
unable to hide from ubiquitous
reporters, on account of his corpulency,
has been able to disguise his name on
the hotel registers, and also to make
the boys on the dailies believe that
they are not always on to the right
names. Down in Omaha they called
him Prince Redwood; out in Brook
ings he passed under the incog. of
King Prairie Chicken; on the train he
was the latest insurgent chief
from Manila. But down in Mime
apolis he had to put on q bold bluff
over his name, because many knew his
size. And 80 he assumed q Franco
Hispanio name, and here is what the
Minneapolis Times and Journal both
said about him last Tuesday, very
remarkable thing about the affair be-
ing that both papers got the wording
of their articles just alike, . good evil
dence that the mayor is doing the
iucog. to the queens taste:

THE REDWOOD GAZETTE.
BY AIKEN E. SCHMAHL.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1898.
UNDER NEW RULE.
Military Law Will Hold Sway In
the Islands.

To The ED1ToR:-After war comes
reconstruction. At the CLOSE of the
civil war all the southern states we're
simply conquered territory, and the
problem before the government was to
reconstruct the states and enable the
people to again exercise the functions
of Statehood.
At the close of the Spanish Amer
ican war the United States is in pos
session of Cuba, Porto Rico, Guam and
the PHILIPPINES, and the question arises
in what relation do these new posses
ions stand to the country and by what
authority can they be governed in the
absence of action by Congress. I
suppose the action will be the same as
was had in the purchase of Alaska.
The territory was coded by Russia
and the government sent Gen. Rossou
on a naval vessel to Sitka, the capital,
and took formal military possession
and the country was held in that way
from 1867 to 1884,. when, by an act of
Congress district government was
established and q governor, Judge,
clerk and marshal were appointed by
the President. It is true that Porto
Rico, Cuba and Guam will be coded to
us by Spain under the treaty and that
the PHILIPPINES surrendered to our for
ces, but the status is not changed.
We hold by the military possession
until Congress provides for a provi-
sional or territorial government in
each case.
The presumption is that the Presi-
dent will at once appoint commits
sioners to take up the question of Por-
to Rico, make thorough examination
as to their present condition and needs
for the near future and report in order
that Congress at it's next meeting may
have basis for legislation. In the
case of Cuba, torn by internal strife
and impoverished by war with Spain,
the task is one both difficult and deli
cate. If it shall prove that Congress
can successfully rehabilitate and set in
motion the social business and pro-
ductive energies of the impoverished
Island so that peace, harmony and
prosperity shall prevail it will win the
plaudits of all right minded people.
We set out to free Cuba from the
oppression of Spain with strong feel
ing that the people were not capable of
self government. From events that
have transpired, we now know that she
cannot possibly prosper without the
help of a strong power to stand be-
tween the discordant factions among
the people and give to both capital
and enterprise both encouragement
aud security and yet we cannot make
her part of our country without he
ing charged with bad faith.
Foreign capitalists and the Span
iards will insist that the United States
shall establish law and. order, make
Investments secure and give the popu
lation the opportunity to do the bes
possible for themselves. To this task
great as it is, l feel sure the Presiden
and Congress will give their best en-
deavor and if we may take the prepar
alton for and conduct of the war as al
earnest of the future, we can feel sur
that the matter of reconstruction O
our new acquisition will be accom-
plished with wisdom, energy and dis
erection.
The peace commission will deal witt

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

One of the varied applications of
wireless telegraphy received an inter-
esting illustration at the Kingstown
regatta, says the Electrician, London,
when Signor Marconi demonstrated
the adaptability of his system to the
transmission of press intelligence
from steam launch in motion. The
yachting expert on deck dictated his
account of the races while these We're
in progress, and a stream of dictated
copy descended below deck to Signor
Marconi, who sat in cabin working
his transmitter, whence the ether
waves carried the news with a mimi
mum loss to a fixed receiving station
on shore. Arriving at this point, the
news was forwarded to press offices by
telephone. 1t is stated that one edi-
ton of the local Evening Mail contain
ed two whole columns OF news dis
patched entirely by wireless telegra-
ply. This notable event is undoubted-
ly the germ of an important develop
ment of wireless telegraphy in the
near future.

THE MISTLETOE BOUGH.

The American mistletoe differs from
the English mistletoe in the indepen-
dence of the sexes. In the European,
the male and female flowers grow up
on the same plant, hence berries may
be found on every plant. In America
each sex labors for itself, and grows
on separate plants; hence there are
many plants wholly barren. Neither
are the berries so large as the Euro
pean varieties. On account of this diff
ference in the behavior of the sexes,
botanist make "A distinct genus of the
American Phoradendron, instead of
Niscum-Phoradend signifying "a
thief on a tree" its parasitic nature
being referred to. Like it's European
brother, il is found on any tree fire.
