tartan Appropriation Policy.

gress from Rev. James II. Ross, in be-
half OF the Home Missionary societies
Of the Evangelical Protestants OF the
United States, opposing the reopening
of the Indian contract school question

only protest against reopening the
question of sectarian appropriations,
now closed by congressional action, but
we petition that the general govern
ment now adopt n definite, permanent
and uniform principle, in accord with
the spirit Of the United States constitu-
ton. for advancing education among
the Indians ON the basis of the Ameri-
can free common school system, in or
der that there shall be no departure
from the American principle of keeping
separate and distinct the functions OF
church and state"

Eben Southwick. farmer of Squaw

two weeks ago lost a valuable dog. The
last he saw of the animal he was
"strealnig II" after rabbit The other
day while passing hollow tree anoth-

his investigation resulted in the discov-

the log that was apparently not half
large enough TO admit his body. The
dog had been in this position for two
weeks without morsel of food. When
released he was hardly able to- stand,
nevertheless he proved himself to have
genuine sporting blood in his veins, for
no sooner had the hunter released him
than he made another effort to. place
his head in limbo. The hunter dfscov-

DROWNED.
From the Wharfboat at Wheeling.
A Passenger for Cincinnati on
the keystone State.

The Keystone State had on board
Tuesday morning a passenger for
Cincinnati who had taken the boat at
Ptsburg in company with another
man, who seemed to have been urged
to accompany him on the trip. % The
two came to the boat before she was
ready to leave Plttsburg Monday, and
after considerable discussion as to
whether they should or should not go
to Cincinnati, decided to make .he trip
and purchased round trip tickets.
They had both ben drinking some, but
seemed to be able to tell what they
wanted to do all right. ac .a,
The boat reached Wheeling about 2
o'clock Tuesday morning, and after
they had been there a while, or about
four o'clock, the Two men got up and
started to go up IN the town to get
something TO drink, and as the crew of
the boat had finished the unloading OF
their freight for Wheeling the wharf
boat was shut up and the men started
to go around the end OF the boat to
get ashore. In passing around the
boat, one Of them, who had given his
namee' as Charles G. Campbell slipped
and fell into the river and was not
seen again by anyone on board the
boat. ,a'
From papers found in the mans ov-
ercoat which he had left on board the
Ooat it was inferred that he was from
Sewickley. Pa. The Captain opened
communication with the general man
ager of the packet line company, and
they made every effort to find the
mans relatives, but without avail so
far as the Captain could tell when
they reached here Tuesday evening at
o'clo X.
1t seems that the mans wife had
died some time ago, as he had copy
of the will she had made wherein she
willed to him and daughter all the
property and made him executor oi
the will to serve without bond.
The body had not been recovered al

ONE PERSON RERISHED.

Fire Causes Panic in a Chicago Paper
I8ox Factory.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-One life is be.
ieved to be lost in fire in the factory
of the w. e. Ritchey Paper Box COM
pany. 2O3 Green street. Five hundred
persons were employed in the building
and about 200 were inside when the fire
occurred. 1t is believed everybody
escaped with the exception of Alexan-
der McMasters, the superintendent. He
was last seen making his way from the
sixth to the third floor.
Great excitement followed the dis
covery of the fire and 200 or more en-
ployes, most of them young girls,
rushed, pushed and fought their way
down the narrow steps from the upper
floors. Many of them escaped by climb
ing down the fire escapes and were pre-
vented from jumping by policemen,
who urged them to hold on until the
fire apparatus arrived. Long ladders
were then raised and one by one the
frightened girls were helped to the
street. The building, which was six
stories high, was practically destroyed.

NO CHANCE TO Win.

British Press Gives Up All Hope Of Cap
turing tho Americs Cup.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-The Daily News,
referring in an editorial article to the
race between Shamrock and Columbia,
says:
1--WE are getting more racing than
we want at New York just now. Our
correspondent says Columbia had the
race we'll in hand when the accident to
Shamrock happened and that her cap
tain proved superior tactician."
The Daily Mail says:
''Shamrock's chances of winning the
cup seem to be extinguished. Sir
Thomas Upton will have the sympathy
of every true sportsman here and in
America in Tuesdays cruel luck"
The Standard is inclined to think
that even without the accident the
Columbia would have proved victori-
GUS as she started in worse position
and yet got ahead.
The Daily Graphic says: "Yacht rae
ing is as much test of vessels
strength as of her speed. The loss of
her mast is equally as serious reAec-
tion upon the builder, designer or skip
per as lack of speed"

DEs MONIES, Oct. 19.-The supreme
court has decided the famous Hancock
county seat fight. After 80 years, dur
ing which the seat has been at Con-
cord, a village of 200, the ambitious
little cities of Britt and Garner sought
to get the seat. Garner was only mile
from Concord. By agreement Garner
annexed Concord and then offered the
county 100000 to build new court
house in the old town. The supreme
court enjoins acceptance and says if
Concord had annexed Garner it would
have been regular; but as Garner an
nexed Concord the new town cannot
claim the county seat.

ON the AIodus vivendi.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Immediately
upon Secretary Hays return from tho
West preparations began at the state
department for the completion of the
modus vivendi relating to the Alaskan
boundary. General Foster was hard at
work ON the details of the modus and
the expectation was that in the course
of day or two the agreement would be
in effect. The negotiations of late have
been entirely y the hands of Secretary
Hay and Mr.. Tower, the British charge
here. It has not been determined even
yet whether the agreement defining the
boundary temporarily shall take the
form of document signed by both par
ties or be merely series of notes, but
in either case it will be just as effective
as regular modus vivendi binding
both parties to observe the boundary
laid down temporarily. State depart
ment officials are confident that Ameri-
cans will have no cause to complain
that their rights have been abandoned
when the full scope of the agreement is
made known.

FOR DULUTH DOCKS.

Great Northern buys Seventeen Million
Feet Of Fir Timber.
DULUTH, Oct. l9.-The Great North
ern road has lately bought 17,OOO, 900
feet of fir timber in Washington, nearly
all of it for the roads proposed ore dock
at Allouez bay. Nearly half this enor-
nous order has been bought in the
past 10 days, and it has SO crowded the
already busy mills of the north Pacific
coast that no one there will now take
large orders. This dock will be the
largest in existence and will give the
Great Northern system dock capacity
of about 400, 900 tons.
The Duluth and Iron Rangs road now
has 16O, 900 tons capacity and the Du-
luth, Missabe and Northern 127, 900.
Both these roads will probably build
more docks the coming winter.
