MONKEYS PICKING COTTON.

JEFFERSON City Tribune: In 1896, at the
Vicksburg fair, Prof. Tracy and w. w.
Mangum, the latter a wealthy cotton
planter of Smedes, that state, were watch.
ing some trained monkeys perform their
various tricks. Prof. Tracy suggested
that there was no reason why the monkey
should not be employed in picking cotton
and supersede the negro in that work.
The plan was discussed, and Mr.. Mangum
bought In New York city a dozen
monkeys in 1897, and, with a trainer, put
them to work. The monkeys belonged to
the race known to scientists as S%phagtalis
| vulgaris and the males weigh about 10
pounds and the females about ninety
pounds each. Bags were made for each
monkey, which would hold about twenty
fve pounds of seed cotton, and a bag
placed over the shoulder of each. 1t is
surprising how rapidly the trainer taught
the monkeys to pick the cotton. Baskets
to hold the cotton were placed at the end
OF the rooms, and one man, over and
above the trainer, was necessary to take
the cotton out of the sacks and put in the
baskets The females proved much better
pickers than the males, for they not only
picked. cleaner cotton, but they would also
pick more of it in a day. In less than a
month after the monkey were started
at the work they could pick on an aver
age 15O pounds a day. The first expert
ment, although on a small scale, proved
W AHl. III lllok IIoIlNSyo SouAO NC
used with great success as cotton pick
ers, sofn June of 1898 he gave an order for
800 monkeys of the same breed on an eX-
porter of monkeys from Africa, with the
understanding that most of them were to
be females. About September l last the
new batch Of monkeys arrived, and the
services of the old trainer We're engaged
to train this new lot. But this was not
such an easy matter as was at first
thought, for many of the new monkeys
were still wild. But the trainer thorough
ly understood his business, having served
for a long time under Barnum as a train
err of monkeys. Finally, with he aid of
ten old monkeys h were of great assist
ance, and a great deal of punishment and
rewarding, the new gang were pretty we'll
trained by the middle of October. Mr..
Mangum is greatly pleased with the re-
suit of his experiment.. Speaking OF 1t re-
Gently he said:
Il consider the day that Prof. Tracy
suggested to me the training of monkey
as cotton pickerS as the most fortunate
day the south has seen in many years. 1t
means more to the south than a cotton
picking machine for the monkeys are a
success as pickers, while the machines
have been failures. l believe that it is
the greatest discovery that has been made
to the cotton planter since Whitney IN
vented the cotton gin. People laughed at
me at first when I tried this thing as they
always do when a man tries anything
new, but now that it has proved a success
all my n%eighbors are wild about it."

Last night a man whose name is I'M

by eating a S. bill. He was eXpostulated
with for his eXtravagant act and reward

der the pretense that he could eat his own
money if he wanted to. Rather than see
the money go to waste, several fellows
tried to persuade him to treat the crowd,

drunk and acted as crazy as a loon. He
purchased a cigar and rendered a s. bill

put out of the place as a dangerous char

VEN kLONDKE TRAIL
Through AIaska's Heart, and
Hence AII-American.
GAME ALONG THE ROUTE
Fertile Country to be Opened
to Settlement.
GAME ALONG THE ROUTE

New York, Nov. 22.-Captain William
R. Abercrombie, who has spent six years
in Alaskan operation and who has just
surveyed an all-American route to the
Klondike, passed through New York to-
da yon his way to Washington to make
his report to Secretary Root. He said
that the main feature OF the expedition
from which he is just returning Is the
completion of plans for the opening OF
the Klondfke region for the American
miner so he can land at Valdez with his
pack pony and prospect any part OF the
public domain without interference from
the officials Of foreign country.
1.-THE trail 1 have surveyed" he said,
sis $50 miles from the boundary, and
through the heart Of Alaska. 1 surveyed
about 700 miles and I built an all-Amer1-
can trail four feet wide, with view 10
its ultimate widening, and IS miles long,
through the Rocky mountain divisions
from Valdez to the Tonsina river which
flows into the Copper river. This road
of course, is merely a trail and very
crude. hut its course is we'll watered and
game is plentiful, especially bears, goats
and wild sheep The Klondike eXpedrton
started from Washington on March %
and 1 had with me two topographers, two
civil engineers and Lieutenant Babcock,
in charge of construction. We went by
train to Fort Yellowstone, in Yellowstone
Park. where we picked up horses and
packers. which we shipped to Seattle.
We left Seattle on April 10, on the steam
ship Excelsior, the expedition then num-
bering about thirty-five souls, including
a trail boss, a dynamiter, two sharpen
ers, rock men, graders and handy men,
When we arrived at Valdez we found
many miners from the interior stranded
and suffering. The war department di-
rected that they be given employment on
government work and as result of this
no destitute miners had to be taken out
of the country on the revenue cutters.
During the coming year there will be
numerous enterprises embarked in Alaska
especially in the Yukon country. The
country to be opened to settlement is
fully twice as arge as the New England
states and will support thousands of peo-
pIa The water is good, the soil fertile
game abundant except in the Copper river
valley, and all the hardy grains, such as
are raised in Siberia, are raised aong the
line of this all-American trail. One hun
bred and fifty miles above the mouth Of
the Copper river is dense vegetation, lux
uriant grasses and three or four kinds of
edible berries. The most of the Copper
river is a wide delta containing sandbars
and shadows, while sixty miles up the
mouth are the Miles glacier and the
ChiIds glacier. Finding it impossible to
navigate the Copper river, We went
around by Prince William Sound.
I'm my experimental garden at Valdez
raised peas, carrots, turnips, lettuce.
radishes and other garden stuff. Port
Valdez was our base of supplies from Sc
attic, the supplies being packed in by
pack trains

she was II, according to Indian rites, the
Sac and Fox Indians being permitted to
marry on the reservation according to
tribal customs When the training school
was established by the government at
Toledo, Indian Agent w. q. Malin sent
out a norder for children under IS to en-
roll in the school. The Indians refused
and hid their children, The girl in CUES
ton was. taken into another county and
was enrolled in aSschool near Belle
Plain. An Indian interpreter was charg-
ed with helping children to escape from
the reservation and on the trial the state
summoned the woman in this case as
witness. Wilcox induced her parents
and husband to accompany her into
court at Tama City. The interpreter
was discharged, but the Indian agent and
Superintendent G. N Nellis, of the
school, It is alleged, seized the girl and
took her away from her husband by
force and, conveying her Ito the Indian
school building, confined her there. 1t
is said that she has been detained in a
room there since the first of the month.
1t is for her release that Wilcox now
seeks a writ of habeas corpus. The hus-
band is nominally the plaintiff and the
claim is made that the government has
no right to force the Indians to go to
school and. in this case, have no right
to detain a married woman"
