as open to navigation. But the Sibe-

remedy this deficiency, and will bind

as it were nervous backbone through
the land. If the real conquest of Sibe-
ria dated from the falling of the first
grain of corn into the conquered soil
her final elevation TO civilized rank
must be held to commence from tho
day when the first train from Europe

Hunted BY A MOOSE

stories of moose are just now at
tracing considerable attention in this
state Besides the noble animal killed
by locomotive on the Brighton and
Harrison railroad, another was killed
at West Sebois on Sunday by Bangor
and Aroostook railroad The presence
of a moose in the woods of Cumber-
land county near so large a place as
Brighton indicates that the animals
must be quite thick. A curious story
comes from The Forks of the Kenne-
bee, Vouched for by one of the state
game Wardens, Frank Durgin. 1T is
stated, says Warden Durgin. land
apparet tly on good authority, that
parties have been chased and teams
stopped by bull moose between here
and Parlin Pond. John f. Durgin saws
one chased him half a mile between
the Parlin Pond Road and Chase
stream. John Kennedy with tote
team was stopped by one of the ten
thousand-acre tract. H. w. Wade and
Edward Lessor, while coming from
Parlin Pond on the night of the 27th
were stopped about twenty minutes.
and the Parlin Pond stage driver
claims to have been chased by one
about a mile above the place where
Wade saw one. He says he ran along
side the stage and horse about 300

completed electric railway to the
summit Of the Corner Graf in

above the seal Ia that dwellers in
the plai-.s can never accustom
themselves to physical exertion
at great attitudes. According to
a recent article In the Revue Sci
entifique, the workers, many Of
whom were from the low lying
province Of Bologna, worked per-
fectly well in 1896, when the ele-
walton was below 2400 feet; but
in 1897, when they were getting
above that altitude, the workmenF
began to complain of lassitude,
bad / aches, loss of appetite
and other symptoms, which at
at first led the doctor to think an
epidemic of influenza had broken
out. None of the affected men
could do anything like their usual
amount of work, and though a
short stcy at Zermatt, in teh val
ley below, banished the unpleas-
ant sym 2toms, they returned as
severely as before when the men
resumed work on the mountain.
The outcome Of the observations
was that the average Fan may
be counted on to work up to q
height Of about 1900 feet; above

er are seriously affected. In the
end all the workmen from the
plains had to be dismissed, and

JUST FROM WASHINGTON.
District Attorney and Mar
shall Returned Today.

P. L. Soper, district attorney,
came in on this mornings train
and Leo e. Bennett, United States
marshal and Gus Lubbes, jailer,
were also passengers, en- route
home to Muskogee. Mr.. Soper
closed his summer vacation some
thing like week or two ago and
joined Mr.. Bennett at Washing
ton and they are just from that
place. In some ways neither of
"the boys" are just happy. Tams
Bixby, chairman OF the Dawes
commission, sent Mr.. Soper up
into his state (Minnesota) to fish
at hole where there were no fish
hence the district attorneys un-
happy frame of mind. Something
about s33. 600 Jail at Muskogee
(Which the attorney general will
not authorize TO be erected on
ground TO which only an lmper-
feet title can be secured) was dis
turbing the marshal. Mr.. Soper's
time had been irretrievably lost,
but his friend expressed his inten-
tion of at once moving for the
erection Of Jail by private cap
ital, to be leased 10 the govern
nsent. The marshal said he had
to have jail-or confine his pris-
oners in tents. Just what especial
matter called both gentlemen TO
Washington at this time was not
stated, but incidentally, in, reply
to the question as TO which judge
would hold the October term OF
court at vinita, the information
was given out that "it might be

and charges of incompetency are
coming up from them. The ter

TESTIMONY or A JUROR,
Responsibility on the Public
Prosecutor.

The testimony OF an ex-grand
juror, aud a gentleman who stands
high in the estimation of all who
know him, will have its weight in
proving the attitude of the pros
ecuting attorney in reference to
the finding of indictments. Mr..
Parker has opened a discussion
that is boundless, and that will do
good in that it will call attention
to the real facts in the case. There
are several hundred men in the
Northern district who have served
one time and another on the grand
juries and who know the methods
Of the attorneys. The following
letter explains itself:
EDITOR CHIEFrAIN---I read in
your daily of Sept. Sth the article
on what Luman F. Parker. Jr.,
has to say about grand juries fail
ing to do their duties, and also the
reply of the Muskogee Times.

experience in grand jury work, as

years ago this October term and

Election or inquiry will make you
remember the men who served on
that jury. We, as a jury, found
about 1877 bills, if | am not mis-
taken, goodly number for high
crimes and perhaps one-half were
whisky cases. ! have watched the
court dockets closely since that
time and l have also conversed
with other members OF that jury
and we agreed that fully one-half
of these cases never saw day
light" i. e., something was done
with them. Now ! wish to ask
what use is there for grand jury
to work hard and faithful and have
their work ignored as il seems was
done in this case? ! am not man
who likes to be made tool OF OF

and a fraud for this and other rea-
sons. | wish to ask again what
