Conditions have changed materially dur

Secretary Aiger said there was no in
tention OF abandoning Camp Wikor. The
troops will be kept there so long as 1t may
be deemed desirable to keep up the camp
He pointed out that it was essentially a
detention camp, place OF recuperation
and not a camp OF mobilization Natural
ly, therefore. as soon as It had served its
purpose. it would pass away as a military
camp.
A ruinor was given currency that the
camp. having been found by the president
20 be unsuitable for its purpose. was to he

Aiger pronounced to be without foundation
1t probably grew out Of the order issued by
the president that the regulars at Camp
Wikoff, whose former posts had been east
OF the Mississippi river, proceed as soon as
possible 10 their old stations Secretary
Aiger said this order had been decided up
on ten days ago and had no possible rela-
ton TO the condition OF the camp.

Sept. 4.-This great camp will dissolve
during the three coming weeks. and by
October It will have sllrunk to slender
proportions. The well men, according TO
the war departments set designs. will
leave the camp as fast as transportation
can be conveniently provided. probably at
the rate OF 5000 or 4.0oo a week. The con-
valescents from the hospitals, instead ec
again being sent into camp, VIII go TO their
homes.
The president Secretary Alger and Gen.
Wheeler had talk about It, and although
Gen. Wheeler thought the men would do
well in camp until October !, Il was de-
terInined 10 continue sending them away.
The regulars taken from the posts east OF
the Mississippi will. according to the pres

before the war. The war department has
not transmitted the order 10 Gen. Shafter

I see your looking for the wind-up
OF our annual election hits.
Trusting no offense be taken
If tho cap on any fits
The crank machine is rusty
So don't expect too much.
But we will touch the button
With very nervous touch.
Another year has passed away.
Many changes have we seen.
They claim the townships out of debt
Which makes everything serene.
Thanks to our gallant officers,
Some said that they were green
But We believe they proved themselves
Not actually what they seemed.
Theelection it resulted in:
Our assessor being changed,
But it strikes us very forcibly
That this was all arranged.
But other days are coming boys
We will rustic in our man
And feel that we are strong enough
Without tasting of the can"
Our saviour was again in line
He made stubborn fight
Thanks to his many voting friends
Knew how to write Wright right.
Verville and "Phil'' are with him yet
They are worthy of their pay.
For Phil" better man will be.
He has wife they say.
The town clerk, he still holds it down
And still is full of fun.
But have you heard the latest?
Why, Johnny's got son.
Our assessor he's Laidlaw now.
He got it down to forty
We trust that he will riches gain
But not be over sporty
Have surplus in our treasury nov
You bet it makes us glad.
No longer need your orders keep
Which used to make it bad.
We trust that you will overlook
And please excuse this time
But may be at some future date
Well compose another rhyme.
We feel that we should mention here
Now that elections past
To lay our prejudice aside
And join in friendships grasp.
So now we wish you all adieu
Take this for what it's worth
And remember what its written for
To cause little mirth.

A Misleading Metaphor.

In the Pail Mall Gazette William
Archer discusses the real rather than.
the sentimental relationship existing
between America and England. In
part he writes: ga misleading meta.
phor may do great deal to beget and
perpetrate confusion of thought, and
such metaphor, suggest, is that
which describes England as the
''mother country" of America. Ten.
nyson has given it literary sanction in
the line Gigantic Daughter of the
West" aud Mr.. William Watson, in
his sonnet beginning 80 towering
daughter, Titan of the West" repeats
the phrase without misgiving. Both
poets ignore the flight of time and
mistake historical for an actual rela-
tion. The America of to-day is not
the daughter of the England of to-
dayn

ing to the act of Congress of January
Il, 1889, the consolidated Chippewas
of Minnesota ceded all their reserva-
ton to the United States, less their
allotments, and the Government was
to open up the land by selling it at
S1.25 an acre for the agricultural por.
ton, and the timber land at the rate
of So thousand feet. They don't be.
lieve in the allotments and prefer to
have their reservation intact, over
which all Of the tribe can swarm at
will"
Secretary Bliss says the Pillagers
have no cause to complain regarding
their timber. He says timber stealing
on their reservation was stopped
eighteen months ago aud that their
interests are now thoroughly pro-
tected. Under the law alluded to by
Mr.. Bottineau, the timber of the Pill
layers has been appraised by compe-
tent and honest agents, and much of
it has been sold at auction at mini
mum price of So thousand, but

they call "dead and down TIMBER"

In connection with the opening Of
the public schools in the city of San.
tiago, it is Interesting to note how
meager school system had hitherto
prevailed there. In the whole PROV
ince of Santiago, the latest figures
show that out of a population of 27O,-
900, there were but G0O0 public and
1900 private school pupils, while tho
total public school expenditure for q
year was only SIG, 200. In the whole
of Cuba there were but 1900 chill
dren in the public schools. This is
about three and one-half per cent. of
the population. Fifty-three cut of
every one hundred persons in Havana
can neither read nor write. A great
work is before the schools in the island
of Cuba, observes the School Journal.

They raised 600 bushels OF corn, 1920
bushels of vegetables and $50 tons of
hay, besides cutting more than 400
cords of wood. From the sale of part
of their products and from hauling
freight they realized in cash $1O50.
OF the 6400 Indians on the reservation
in 1890, 1000 wore American clothing,
1000 could read and 1900 were church
members.
John r. Bottineau, Chippewa
Indian who is at present in Washing
ton, says: "The ugly spirit and dis
position of the Pillagers to hold them
selves aloof from both white men and
other bands of their tribe have caused
them to be charged with many viola
tions of law which perhaps should
have been laid at some other door.
That naturally exasperates them, and,
with a good deal of whisky, has oc-
casioned the present outbreak.
81 believe this trouble was caused
by members of the tribe getting hold
of whisky. The officers of the law
heard of it, found the culprits and de-
tanned them. In the meantime de-
puties were sent out to secure wit
nesses, and the more witnesses the
officials summon the greater the
amount of fees to the Sheriff's office.

There is q considerable consumption
of coal in Venezuela, and the supply
comes almost wholly from Wales. 1t

thick and eleven inches long. and, on
this account, is preferred by the rail-
ways, whose engines have no tenders.
Their coal is carried on small plat
form, and off these ordinary coal would
roll, 1t sells in Venezuela for S12 q
tot. and enters duty free. The Consul
ct La Guayra says thai. there is an excel
lent opening in Venezuela for United
States coal, which can be laid down
there much more cheaply than the
British coal. 1t would be necessary,
however, for our manufacturers to
meet the demands of that market.
Bricks are indispensable, and for this
purpose grade Of soft coal could be
used that is not always marketable IN
the United States.
