An Ohio editor says that hay
fever is caused by kissing grass
widows. A Missouri editor says
it is caused by a grass widow
kissing a COW by moonlight. An
Iowa editor says it is caused by
a fellow kissing the hired girl
while she is feeding hay to the
COW, and a Kansas exchange is
of the opinion that it is caused
by missing the girl and kissing
the COW.
A torpedo, towed by a long
line behind a small boat, was
drawn against the bow of the

completing the wreck of the for
ward part of the ship. This is
the substance of a dispatch from
Washington that seems well au-
thenticated, says the HALEY
Times.
w. D. Pierce departed for the
famous Alaska region last Thurs

who will leave Challis in a day
or so. From Baker City they
will go direct to Seattle, and
from there take a boat for Taiia.
If they do not find any thing at
the last named point they viii
proceed on to Stikeen river, and
probably to Teslen lake. We
hope dame fortune will smile
upon the boys.
