Survivors Of the Lost echooner Lisgar
Adrift ON Lake Huron.
After drifting around Lake Huron for
ninety-one hours in yawl boat two sur
vivors of the lost Canadian schooner LII
gar were picked up by the steamer Case.
They are Captain Freeman and Nelson
Allure, sailor. Captain Freeman is of
the opinion that the other five members Of
the crew, including his wife, were all
lost. The Lisgar had cargo Of coal for
Parry sound and with the schooner
Grimsby formed the tow Of the steamer
Clinton. In gale Of wind on Lake HUI
ron the Lisgar foundered. The Clinton
and her other consort put into Goderich
after much difficulty. Captain Freeman
and Allure managed to get into the boat,
but they drifted nearly four days before
they were sighted by passing boat. In
that time they had gone nearly the length
Of Lake Huron.

Last year it took 100000 oysters a
week to supply Chicago. In previous
years the average was considerably less.
With the increased supply the dealers are
preparing for sale that will come nearer
the 100000 mark. New York consumes
100000 oysters a week, half of which
arc sold at the wharves at low prices,
and 1t is estimated that 10000 are con-
sumed each week in st. Louis.

FOR A BIG MINNESOTA PARK.
Plan to Utilize 100000 Acres Indian
Lands for the Purp oae.


Lands for the Purpose.
DR.. Northrup, president Of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota and also president or
the proposed Minnesota National Park
Association, and Thomas Shevlin OF Min
neapolis have prepared an entirely new
scheme for the park. They discard as
jmpracticable the proposition to acquire
the necessary lands by purchase, and pre-
sent the following scheme: The utilization
of 100000 acres of the Indian reserva-
ton in and about Leech and Winnibo-
gishish lakes, with the possibility Of an
extension of the park confines north to
the Canadian border at future time.
The town of Walker is left outside the
park lines, as is Deer River on the east.
The value of the land to-day as 1t stands
is estimated at about $4,000 900. All the
land is Government land. 1t is a reser-
walton for the Indians, but nevertheless
part of the public domain, and without
action on the part of Congress may net
be made to respond to any other use. 1t
is believed Congress will readily consent
to converting the land to park purposes.

PLAN OF ESCAPE Is FoILED.
"Trusty" in Kansas Penitentiary De-
feats the Plot of Convicts.

A daring attempt to escape from prison
was frustrated at the Kansas peniten-
itentiary at Leavenworth, through infor-
nation given by ''trusty" named Car
Isle. The plan was formed by two con-
victs-F. G. Gilbert and John Harper
one of whom was armed with revolver
and the other with a long knife. Gilbert
had fashioned key which unlocked his
and Harper's cells, and while waiting an
opportunity to overcome the night watch
were discovered in the attic by Carlisle.
Under threats Of death Carlisle was
sworn to secrecy, but after being released
informed the guard, who sent for help.
An armed force Of guards responded, and
as they approached Harper fired FIVE
shots from the revolver, striking no one.
Seeing that he was helpless, he surren-
dered and stated that he had stolen the
revolver from the warden's house while
doing some work there a year ago.
