San Francisco, Oct 1.-THE officers
ofthe whaler Belagu tell OF the terrible
fate IF Oscar Huschenbett, a sailor, in
the Arctic. On August 20, 1898, the
boats were lowered for an enormous
whale. Just after harpoon had been
fixed in the whales side and he had
started off at tremendous speed, Hus-
chenbett stepped carelessly into the
ropes blight. A loop caught his leg
and he was drawn into the water. In
passing out of the boat the body of the
man hurled itself against Third Mate
Nikito and one of the crew, knocking
both overheard. The mate scrambled
up and slashed the rope into with his
knife. Then began chase for the

Admiral Dewey is a brave and noble
man, and for the extraordinary service
he has rendered his country no honor
that can be shown him in return is too
great. He has aroused the admiration
of the whole world by the gallantry OF
his conduct, and he would be small
man, indeed, who could not recognize
his merit and give free expression to
his admiration for Dewey's valor."

A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Il. l.. Bonner's Team Makes a Sprint.
Ladies Thrown Out.

Lauies thrown Out.
Missoula, July "A serious runaway
accident occurred on Main street and
Higgins avenue this fternoon, when
L. l.. Bonner's carriage team, driven
by his coachman, got beyond control
and dashed down Main street at rate
of speed that would make Hamburg
ashamed of himself. When the run
aways reached Higgins avenue the
Coachman was unable to keep them
running straight, and they turned up
the avenue. This turn broke the left
hind wheel, and the carriage lurched
to one side. The horses kept on, and
the carriage swung upon the sidewalk
against the DAILY block. AT this point
the left front wheel collapsed, and one
of the horses was thrown down. On the
seat of the carriage. which is of the
Victoria style, We're Miss Bonner and
Miss Robinson. When the first wheel
broke. the ladies were thrown out. Miss
Bonner. sitting on the left side of the
carriage, was thrown clear of the
wheels, and rolled along the street for
a short distance unframed. AS Miss
Robinson was thrown from the carriage
her dress caught on the door of the car
riage, and she was dragged until the
bystanders reached the wreck. Miss
Robinson was lying partly beneath the
carriage, and it was feared that she
was seriously injured. She was lifted
from the wreck and taken to the Stand
ard office. where restoratives We're adj
ministered, and she was found to have
escaped with some severe bruises and
badly sprained wrist. Her right arm
was also cut badly. As suon as possible
she was removed to her home. DR..
Buckley was summoned. and he pro-
nOunced her injuries superficial Both
ladies behaved with remarkable cool
ness and bravery. Neither one tainted.
and each insisted that she was not in
iured, and objected to any fuss being
made over the affair. That Miss Rob
inson escaped as fortunately as she did,
is remarkable, as her petition beneath
the carriage was a dangerous one. Had
not the horses been checked by the
breaking of the second wheel, the re-
suits would have been much more Sc
riOuS.

A FRENCH COURT DECISION.

Very curious things continue TO hap
pen IN France. 4 French court Of APP
peals has lately decided that a perioal-
cal which prints critical review OF an
authors work is bound to publish the
authors reply to the critics structures.
This decision seems to put the French
press at the mercy Of authors who can,
II they choose take UP most Of the
space in the reviews by their answers.
The most obvious remedy would be TO
stop reviewing the books Of all authors
who are inclined TO talk back. and that
Is feasible enough, though II might
cause embarrassment TO literary Jour-
mails. Successful and well-psd authors,
Il may be observed. are rarely willing
10 spend their time refuting critics. Il
is the writer's who can't write and
whose time Is not valuable. who would

Stanley has explored Central Africa.
He also pretended TO know the Trans

I'm the first place Stanley has only
made one journey 10 Pretoria. He

lack Of veracity In his assertions. /
will not dwell on the Infamous epithet

Stanley says our peasants are
strangers to soap. AL who have visited

Dutch encountered everywhere.

consume such immense quantities Of
this article. Our tariff shows that cOf-

like all other allmentary articles
mention these minor matters so you
may judge the more important allega-
tons.
Among these allegations is the one
which claims that President krugers
fortune owes its origin 10 the Trans
vaal monopolles. The accusation is a
ridiculous one. All concessions TO the
monopolies were given by the Nolks-
Rad. President Kruger has nothing to
do with them. Whatever revenue was
imposed by the Volksraad went into the
public treasury. The chief executive Of
the Transvaal Republic Is scrupulously
honest. And his popularity with the
Dutch In South Africa is mainly due 10
this most excellent virtue.
'All Kruger's fortune was made by
farming. From small beginning he
evolved into a wealthy land owner. He
Is economical and shrewd. His riches
were made by the renting out and sell
ing OF farms all over the South African
Republics.

which their troops were modified and
brought 10 the front will be more reedi-

The farms OF the Beers lie scattered

and Ireland, and the population does
not exceed now 2Ss,OOO white burghers,
the foreign-born population not counted.
The country Is divided in field cornet-
ships; that Is, military districts under
the command Of a field cornet. These
stand in the closest communication with
every single farm In the country. In
