A gold miner named MOnastyrschin

tribe of Turgusos, inhabiting the
Timur Peninsula, North Siberia,
recently informed the Russian
Police Chief of the district that on
Jan. 7 last, between KomO and Pit,
in the Province of Yeniseisk, they
found cabin constructed of cloth
and cordage, apparently belonging
to a balloon.
Close by were the bodies of three
men, the head of one badly crushed.
Around them were number of in
struments, the uses of which were
not understood by the Turgusos.
The Police Chief has started for
the spot to investigate, as it is be-
lieved that the bodies are those of
the aeronaut Herr Andre and his
companions.
The balloon Eagle, with Prof
Andre and two companions, Strinde-

Report Made to President Mckinley Last
Week.
The War Investigating Com
mission ceased its existence last
week with the presentation of it's re-
port to President Mckinley. The
report is voluminous document,
consisting of about $4,000 words.
Touching the much discussed ques-
ton as to the character of the meat
furnished to the army, the commits
sion declares that the food generally
was of good quality, and censures
Gen. Miles for his alleged failure to
acquaint the war department with
the faults said to have been discov-
cred in Porto Rico. While the re-
port is very much of a whitewash, it
does not pass without criticism the
arrangements made for Transports
tion Of the troops, and it also has
found some things to have been
amiss in the supply of medical
stores and assistance to the troops
though it has set out the palliating
circumstances such as the state of
unpreparedness of the country, and
the difficulty of suddenly training
green men to discharge heavy du-
! ties.

The MULE.

By Sam Wilingford.l
Mule Dealer, Sheridan, Ind and ded-
iCated to Mr.. ]. w. Howard of
the Maxwell & Couch Mule Com
pany.
God made the wise man,
He also made the fool;
He made all the animals,
Except it was the mule.
The mule is a cross
Between the Jack and mare;
And to accuse God of making him,
say it is not fair.
So in looking what to do
And picking up my trade,
| had to take an animal
That God had never made.
The mule is an animal
That God never made,
But l am fully satisfied
Good men are in the trade.
So God said unto himself,
"White men | cannot fool;
So / will make the negro
That he may work the mule"
In making this assertion
| may break the rule
God never would had made the negro
Had it not been for the mule.
So he had to deviate
A little from the rule;
He had to make the negro
That he might work the mule.
There is one thing said of us,
That l here and now deny;
That it's rule, wherever we go,
In selling mules, to lie.
The merchant sells piece of goods
And says IL will not fade;
That's as big lie as ever | told
In any mule trade.
Mr.. Negro, when you meet the mule,
Let it be far or near,
Say, "Good morning, my creator,
am glad to meet you here"
