head The boy kept in leading strings

the other kind are not Of so very much
good in the world anyhow:
The boys judgment needs exercising

things as he thinks best, even though
you feel positive you know a better way.
The boy will learn in this way, and bet

him in your well worn rut. And then

DEATH ON THE TRAIL.
Scores of Gold Seekers Have Perished
of Drowning, Freezing Star
walton in Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, June S.-The list of
prospectors who nave persisted in their
rush to the Yukon gold fields over the
Edmonton trail is growing, and if re-
ports brought down by. the steamer
Laurada from southeastern Alaska are
to be believed it will be very large when
the full story is told. Fifty are reported
to have been drowned in the Great Slave
lake, 20 have persisted in the rapids of
frozen to death, rs have died from
scurvy.. The bodies of q score who died
of exposure have been found.
Several parties reached Wrangel last
week from the interior after spending
from II to 20 months on the trail in the
vain endeavor to reach the land of
wealth. They say that not less than
200 prospective miners have lost their
lives by drowning, starvation, exposure
and freezing during the last winter.
Most of these were Americans from the
eastern states. Scurvy is now raging
among the miners who are helpless on
the trail. Before relief can reach them
many others will have persisted.
The Huteson Barge company and the
northwest mounted police have started
small relief expeditions from Telegraph
creek. Government action on a large
scale will alone rescue those that are
unable to get out of the country by
their own resources. 1t is extremely
difficult to secure names, although the
miners tell of many accidents that cost
the lives of parties of five or ten.

luton indorsing Mr.. Sherman. They
said they considered this an insult to
Mr.. Payne whom they favored as can
1idate.
Soon after this those in the confer
ence notified Mr.. Sherman that they
had decided to vote for him. Mr.. Sher-
man then went into the conference, and
said that Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, hav-
ing developed such great strength as
would make him practically the only
candidate, he would suggest that the
delegation go over to that congressman.
An informal discussion followed, and it
was decided to support Mr.. Henderson.
Representative Sherman was re-
quested to telegraph Mr.. Henderson,
notifying him of this action. The con-
ference then adjourned.

THE VICTIMS OF WAR.
Surgeon General Sternberg Says
5.43S Soldiers Died of Sickness
and 96S in Battle.

Columbus, o., June 9.-Thursday was
the big day of the American Medical
association convention. The interest
conferred largely in the presence of Sur
geon General Sternberg, of the United
States army. Gen. Sternberg was ac-
corded the closest attention and he was
warmly applauded. The subject of his
address was Sanitary Lesson of the
War" He said in part:
TT is well known to sanitarians and mill
tary surgeons that as general rule more
soldiers succumb to disease than are killed
by the bullets of the enemy, and our recent
war has not been an exception in this re-
gard. The total number of deaths reported
in our enlarged army, including regulars
and volunteers, from May 1, 1898, to April
80, 1899, is 6406. OF these 5,43S died of dis
ease, injuries, or accident During the civil
war the number of deaths from disease was
1925. The number who were killed in bat
tie or died of wounds was SO, 969, or about
one-half of the deaths from disease. The
total deaths from disease in the union
armies from the commencement of the war
to the 31st of December, 1862, was "a, 326, and
in the confederate armies during the same
period 81 23S''

Boston, June 9.-Gridley James Fox
Bryant died Thursday at the home for
aged men here, aged 49,. He was at
one time supervising architect of the
United States treasury, and had de-
signed and supervised many public
buildings throughout the country. He
was born in Boston in 1916. His father
built the first railroad in America, in
1881, at the Quincy quarries, designed
to transport stone for the Bunker Hill
monument. Although once wealthy, he
died in poverty.

Sections 16 and and So.

Legal proceedings will at once be in
stituted by the state against the in
terror department at Washington en-
joining the secretary from issuing pat
ents to lands in sections 16 and SO on
Indian reservations. This was the de-
cision reached by State Auditor Dunn,
Attorney General Douglas and ex-At-
torney General Childs at recent con-
ference, and resulted from the deter
mination of the Washington depart
mcnt that the two sections in every
town for school purposes did not APP
ply to land situated in the Red lake In
dian reservation. The state demands
the right to dispose of these lands un-
der the law of Feb. 26, 1857, authOriz-
ing the organization of the state gov
eminent out of the Territory of Min
nesota. The decision of the interior de-
partment means the loss of a million
and half of dollars to the school
fund of the state.

"ADMIT WITHIN FIRE LINES. +"
An Extraordinary Motto for a News
paper Reporters Funeral
Emblem.

There had been feud of long stand
ing between the reporters in Mulberry
street, and in consequence news was
plentiful. There were mutual scores
to be paid off, and we paid them off in
the coin of the realm. The coin of
Mulberry street was murder, fire and
sudden death 1--WE had passed the stage
of boxing gloves, and did not speak as
we passed by, and it went long way
/ do not mean, of course, that we muir
dered or burned up one another, but
these things were the staples of our
daily work as police reporters: and
when we were tout" the precinct re-
turns received an extra sitting with
the result that many a grain of news
paper wheat that would otherwise have
escaped was rescued from the bust-bin.
We had our specialties in this con-
test of wits. One was distinguished as
sleuth. He fed on detective mysteries
as cat on a chicken bone. He thought
them out by day and dreamed them out
by night, to the great evaporation of
the official detectives, with whom their
solution was a commercial, not in the
least an intellectual affair. They
solved them on the plane of the pro-
verbal lack of honor among thieves,
by the formula, You scratch my back
and Ill scratch yours
Another came out strong on fires
He knew the history of every house in
town that ran any risk of being
burned; knew every fireman; and
could tell within a thousand dollars
more or less, what was the value OF the
goods stored in any building in the
dry goods district, and for how much
they were insured. If he couldn't, he
did anyhow, and his guesses often came
near the fact, as shown in the final adj
justment. He shifted a frebug from
afar, and knew without asking how
much salvage there was in bale of
cotton after being "a hours in the fire.
He is dead, poor fellow. In life he was
fond of a joke, and in death the joke
clung to him in way wholly unfore-
seen. The firemen in the next block.
with whom he made his headquarters
when off duty, so that he might always
be within hearing of the gong, wished
to give some tangible evidence of their
regard for the old reporter, but, being
in a hurry, left it to the florist, who
knew him well, to choose the design.
He hit upon a floral fire badge as the
proper. thing, and thus it was that
when the company of mourners was
assembled, and the funeral service in
progress, there arrived and was set
upon the coffin, in the view of all, that
triumph of the florists art, a shield of
white roses, with this legend written
across it in red immoltelles: Admit
within fire lines only" 1t was shock
ing, but irresistible. 1t brought down
even the house of mourning.-Jacob

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Climate and Crop Bulletin.

Except in Kitton county there have
been very heavy rains, occurring as
showers, which fell for the most part
on May Soth and June I'd. There was
hail IN many sections, but it was severe
only in few limited areas. in which
small grains, fruits and gardens were
badly injured. In the Red River valley
the wet weather of previous weeks
has retarded work so that all the bar
ley, oat, flax and potatoes are not yet
planted. In other sections on the high
lands small grains are growing very
vigorously, and in some places they are
too heavy. Barley is beginning to
shoot in Wabasha county, and winter
wheat and winter rye are heading.
The wet weather has made some corn
look sicllly, and it has prevented culti-
walton. so that the weeds are getting
strong hold. Potatoes are growing
fast. Fruit prospects are good, but
there will be little wild fruit.

Adulterated Lard.

Through the efforts of the state
dairy and food department it is not
improbable that the use of adulteated
lard, in the manufacture of bread, hard
biscuits and crackers, may be. done
away with. The department found
that the American Biscuit company
was using adulterated lard in making
its product, and an investigation re-
vealed the fact that large quantity of
the stuff was being sold under the
name of compound lard" This is
strictly in violation of the law which
specifies that such lard must be labeled
''adulterated" or substitute. 1t is as
much against the law to use this stuff
as it is to sell it, and the American
Biscuit company at Minneapolis was
taken to task, pleaded guilty and paid
fine of SIS. The manager of the
company assured the department that
the law would be strictly complied with
in the future

Weather in New York.

New York, June 9.-The cool furry
that struck this city Wednesday night
had but little effect upon the tempera-
ture that was to follow Thursday. The
thermometer ranged almost as high as
Wednesday. At one o'clock Thursday
afternoon, when the temperature was
at its highest point, it stood at 81, seven
degrees below the record made two
days ago. The record of fatal prostra-
lions was somewhat smaller than the
list of Wednesday, 10 persons dying in
New York and vicinity Thursday. OF
these, four were women. Aside from
this there were 81 prostrations, the vic
Tins of which are still in the hospitals
with more or less hope of recovery.
Wednesdays official death list num-
bered 26 and Tuesdays seven, making
total of SO deaths recorded.

THE TRADE SITUATION.
Condition of the Business World as |
Seen by Dun and Bradstreet-
Failures for Week.

New York, June 10.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: The past
week has brought rise in prices not
eQualed in any other week of many years.
Iron products have advanced SS2 per cent.
in one week and pig iron AS per cent, fol-
lowing advances of per cent. in pig and
per cent. in products during May. Cot
ton has advanced l per cent. and cotton
goods Is per cent during the week. with
wooden goods 8 per cent. and boots and
shoes per cent. A little reaction of per
cent. appears in leather and z per cent. in
hides, but the characteristic of the time
is that expectation of higher prices induces
buying far in advance of requirements for
consumption. 1t is needless to say that this
IS symptom of danger, and the most con-
servative manufacturers, especially in iron
and steel, have striven to avoid it, but ac-
tual inability to deliver products demand
ed leaves them little power, while specula-
ton in wool and other lines is running away
from consumption. 1t is saving feature
that quotations are quite largely fictitious.
Almost all the goods now being delivered
or produced in some industries are on
prices fixed by orders accepted several
months ago, and, nearly all the iron works
being thus tied up far ahead, the prices
quoted indicate not at all what they are
getting. but what they see fit to ask as
way of refusing orders which they can
not accept, or else the bids of impatient
liver large quantities.
For the current week failures have been
159 in the United States, against 203 last
year, and 10 in Canada, against II last
year"
Bradstreet's says:
Exceptional firmness in prices at the
highest level as regards general staple
values yet reached, a seasonably small rate
of business mortality, undiminished indus
trial activity, perhaps most manifest in
all branches of trade in which iron, steel
and other metals enter, and large bank
clearings, rejecting to some extent the
improved tone of stocks, but likewise large
payments on previous profitable business,
are among the features not necessarily
new, but still noteworthy, reflected in trade
advices. Enlarged shipments of bread
stuffs, result of recent buying, induced by
crop damage reports at home and abroad,
have, it is true, not been sufficient to Off
set liquidation on the late moderate rise,
but this is partially explained by contin-
ued good adviceS from the spring wheat
crop, confirmed by liberal receipts at pri-
mary points. Iron and steel display all of
their old and some new strength in the
urgent demand for the balance of the
year, and the usual summer shutdown
seems likely to be honored more in the
breach than in the observance in this trade.
The outlook in the trade as regards next
seasons labor scale is still unsettled. Small
supplies of old corn and reports of too
much rain in some sections have helped
this cereal, and are likewise reflected in
hog products, but the prospects favor a
very large acreage in this cereal"

Cable to Germany.

Washington, June THE final de-
tails have been arranged for the laying
of the cable between the United States
and Germany, the last step being a
satisfactory arrangement concerning
government messages and the rates
of cable tolls. The authorities here have
been informed that the actual work
of laying the cable will begin during
the present summer months, so that
the first message may pass over the line
during the coming fall.
