Will Call "a Special Election.

The board of county comm issionei q
of Dawson county, Mont, have called
a special election for the purpose of re-
bonding the county for $50, 900 to build
place of the one destroyed this spring.
The sentiment Of the people to rebuild
seems so strong that the bonding will
meet with little or no opposition.

SALMON INDUSTRY.
Run Has Been Light rptil the Past
Week-Lste spring aud Cold
Water the Causes.

Complaints from fisherman all along
the river have been abundant this sea.
son. They declare that there are not
enough salmon running to amuse them,
much less pay them fof spreading their
nets. They have continued to go out,
however. early and late, in the hope
that the run would soon get better,
and there are indications the past few
days that their hopes are to be real
lied.
The salmon run has improved won-
ieIfully this week." said p. J. Nc.
Gowan, the veteran packer in an inter-
view in the Portland Telegram. For
time it seemed as il both the fisher.
men and the Gamers were TO be left
out this season, but think we will all
get in yet.
1--WE think the light run of fish this
season has been OF account OF the cold
weather. There is well-iounded
theory that when the weather and the
water are cold. the fish stay in deep
water, and | think this is true. The
catch M the river has been better this
year than it has below Down there
the water is so deep in many places and
the current so stoing, that it is impos-
sible foi fishermen to spread their nets,
and the fish have not been going ont
into the shallow water where the men
can fish.
''The warm days have had tendency
to thaw the fish out, and from now on
| expect plenty Of fish.
Prices Are Good.
"The fisherman is getting good
price for all he catches. In fact, a lit
tie more than the fish are worth. The
packers are paving . cents, and the
cold storage people from Oh to "a.
OF course the cold storage men want
the pick OF the catch, and for that rea-
son must pay more. Some OF them
made us an offer OF 5is cents for 90
Founders up to 40, and 6 . cents for
those over 40 pounds, We prefer,
however, to give as good as can be
caught to our customers. Prices for
the canned fish are fair, and there is
big demand for our goods. Eastern
dealers are all anxious to make con.
tracts ana some OF the packers nave
now contracted more than they can de-
liver. If the run continues good, We
will be able to supply the demands
made upon us. If it continues light,
this demand will entirely exceed the
supply, and as the supply on the mar
ket has been cleaned up, there would
indeed he lively rush for fish.
Territory Grows
''For long time the packers Of the
Columbia had poor market for their
product, but with the coming Of the
trans-continental roads came n greater
demand for our fish. Now the demand
is from all over the United States, and
the territory is growing all the time.
The big jobbers of the Middle West
/ find it cheaper and better to buy their
! fish out here than to 90 to the Attain
! tic coast for them, and we are all find
ing good market at Chicago. st. Louis
and such centers.
1--WE have no complaint to make
aside from the scarcity of fish, and
think that will soon be over with, and
that there will be an average pack
this season."

Surgery and Non Smoking.

At first sight there seems no strik-
ing association between surgery and
smoking; but it seems that the com
modiouS operating theater at Alden
brooks hospital, Cambridge, owes its
inception to smoke-or, rather, to alb.
stinence therefrom. The theater was
built by a generous donation of e.
900 from Mr.. A. Peskover, the lord
lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, and a
leading member Of the Society of
Friends. This is how it came about:

the basis of one shilling per day for
cigars. Mr.. Peckover saved it, and
the smoke has yielded a noble institu-
ton for alleviating suffering,

libations of clarct and Madeira; at ten
tea, coffee and mullins; at II sups off

"ZONES OF INAUDIBILITY."
New Solution of the Cause of the MO
hogan Disaster.

Another strange solution of the Mo.
hogan disaster is put forward. Rev.
john NJ. Bacon, of Newbury, Berk-
shire, England, one Of the highest au-
thorities on the science Of acoustics,
has turned his attention to the great
mystery surrounding the terrible dis
aster.
In conjunction with the late Prof
Tyndale, Mr., Bacon made many re-
markahle experiments, the result Of
which surprised the scientific world.
One Of these discoveries was the ex-
istercc Of acoustic cloud" -that is,
floating masses Of air of a different
density to that of the surrounding at
mosphere, which, though wholly in
visible, are incapable of rejecting
sound and causing echoes out Of
empty air. During the last few years
various observers, sailors and others,
have reported passing through such
zones Of inaudibility." At three or
four miles distance a foghorn has
been heard distinctly. A mile or so
nearer the sound has almost tainted
away. Nearer still it has doomed out
again in loud tones, and then, with
in half a mile, it has died into utter
silence. On return journey over the
same course the "zones Of inaudibili-
ty" have again been traced.
Mr. Bacon says that the Mohegan
disaster at once raised the question in
his mind of zones of inaudibility,"
and he thinks it possible that the
sound of the Manacles rock bell buoy
gradually died away as the doomed
vessel approached the fatal reef.

law in the Offices of Gallup & Hitch
cock. He was admitted to the bar in
1867 and went into partnership with
Fred A. Smith, now senior member of
the firm of Smith, Palmer & Moulton.
A short time later he became minute
clerk and record writer in Judge James

held for Is months, when he resumed

In 1884 Mr.. Kohlsaat was appointed

pointed TO fill the unexpiped term of
Judge Knickerbockeri of the probate
court. He has been on the probate
court bench ever since, having been
elected three successive times.
Judge Kohlsaat Is married and lives
at 239 Ashland boulevard Chicago, with
his family of one son and three daugh-
ters. He Is a lnember of the Union

HAS A NEW NOSE.
Sergeant Freeman Lost His Natural One
at 0mdurman.

L
An interesting fact has just come TO
light which strikingly exemplifes the
wonderful stories of modern science.
1t is case in which warrior from
the great battle of 0mdurman who
suffered serious facial Disagreement
has had his Disagreement oblterated
aud his features made TO appear to all
intents and purposes as perfect as if
nothing had happened. In short, he
had the greater part of his nose cut
clean off, and he has BEEN provided
with a new nose. This hero of the
So'ldan, by name Sergt. Freeman, is
member Of the Twenty first Ian
GERS, and he took part in the mem
orable charge at 0mdurman. During
the charge one Of the lieutenants of
the lancers was attacked by a dervish,
who, getting hold of the officers right
hand, in which he carried his lance,
commenced industriously saving at
the wrist with his sword, with the ev-
ident intention of severing the kand.
Sergt. Freeman was fighting his way
through bunch of dervishes when he
heard the young officer, who was
Lieut. Meacham, cry out, and, turn
ing, saw the predicament in which he
was placed. He made a dash for the
spot, and, running his lance through |
the dervish, saved the lieutenant. |
However, at the next moment he was
confronted by two dervishes, who
wildly slashed at him with their
swords. lie parted the blows and
killed them both in turn, but one ter
rife blow from a sword came so near
to ending his life as to strike his nose
and carry away the lower cartilage as
far as the upper lip.
Freeman was invalided home and
became an inmate at Netley hospital.
lie ultimately recovered and was sent
by Col. Martin, who was in command
of the Twenty first lancers in the

who has become famous for his res
toration of facial disfigurements. Mr..
Groves, in spite of exceptional diff
culties, has treated the case with COM

tute for the natural organ has been
built up, so that the injury is not per-
ceptible. Sergt Freeman has left
