An Active Play.

With the instinct Of genuine dra-
matte genius, the author of the play,
'For Her Sake, the new Russo Siber-
ian melod rama which is to be presented
at the Opera House on Friday evening,
appears to have drawn from the utter
most extremes of society. for the char
acters whom he purposed to involve
in intrigue The hero of the play is q
Russian noeleman and army officer
the heroine is Russian serf girl
With these FOR the central figures, the
playwright has grouped together biz
array OF characters, EN- bracing soldier
convicts. people of fashion, travellers
nihilists, aad half dozen other sort
of people. The company playing tn
piece, as may be inferred. is an unusu
ally large one.

The Climate Changing.

For a number Of years the climate OF
Western Nevada has changed and each
year it grows TO resemble the climate
of California The days OF zero and
far below have not been here in the
past five years, While rain instead OF
snow is the general order OF storm.
The farmers seem to take advantage o,
the change and winter wheat is being
planted with fair success. Consider
able ground has been planted to winter
wheat in this valley and already the
cereal is above ground. The change ii
a good one and if the experimental
planting proves success many sage

EXAMINATIONS
For Clerk and Carriers in the u. S.
Mail Department.

The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that on September
20. 1900, an examination will be held in
this city for the positions of clerk and
carrier in the post-office service.
This examination is held for the rea-
son that the Post-Office Department
has stated that all offices where no sub
stitute force is maintained such force
will be appointed as the result of this
examination, so that whenever vacan-
cies occur in the regular force there
will be no delay in filling the same. 1t
Is the intention of the Department as
far as possible to establish a substitute
force at every Office equal to about %
per cent of the number of regular en-
ployees.
This examination will be held at all
classified post-offices throughout the
country, except those of the first-class,
and as result of the same, in addition
to the substitute appointments, vacan-
cies which now exist in the regular
force will be filled
The nature of the examination is a
test OF practical, general intelligence,
and of adaptability in post-otfice work
The age limitations for this examina-
ton are as follows:
OIcIk, hot less LHaH 10 years.
Carrier, between p and 40 years.
Applicants for male clerk and carrier
must have the medical certificate in
Form 101 executed. Applicants for
carrier must be at least 5 #. in. in
height, and weigh not less than 125
pounds. Female applicants are not re-
quired to have this certificate executed
This examination offers an excellent
opportunity for entering the Federal
service to bright, energetic young per-
sons who are not afraid of hard work,
and the Commission hopes that suffi-
cient number of intelligent, active per-
sons will present themselves for this
examination. 1t may be stated that
there is wider field for advancement
upon merit in the Federal service than
in many private employments, not only
by promotion in the same office, but by
transfer TO other parts of the service
This examination is open TO all citi-
Zens of the United States who may de-
sire to enter the service, and who COM
ply with the requirements All such
persons are invited to apply, but atten-
ton is invited to the fact that from
those certified the Department usually
selects for appointment eligibles who
are residents of the district in which
the vacancies exist. Applicants will be
examined, graded, and certified with
entire impartiality and wholly without
regard to any consideration save their
ability as shown by the grade attained
in the examination.
For application blank Form l01, full
instructions, specimen examination
questions, and information relative to
the duties and salaries of the different
positions, and as to whether there are
any existing vacancies in this Office, APP
plications should be made to the under
signed
Applications should be promptly filed
with the secretary of the local board
and inquiry should be made of him as
to the date set for the receipt of appli-
cations. EDW b. RlNGLE,

THE VOLCANO BATH.
People In California Plunge I'm Ice Cold
Mud.

People In California Plunge In Ice Cold
Volcano baths are the proper thing
nowadays in certain parts of Califor-
MIA and Mexico. Down in Mendocino
county, California, such baths have be-
come most frequent.
The volcano bath is not a water
bath, says the San Francisco Bulletin,
nor is it fire bath or lava bath, as
might be supposed. 1t is mud bath,
and no ordinary bath at that. Ice cold
mud of blush tint and of the con-
Bistency of freshly mixed mortar is the
element into which the bathers plunge,
splashing and suffering. The way
they manage is unique. A sapAng Is
felled in the forests near the volcano
craters, stripped of its limbs, carried
to the crater and placed across 1t, so
that each end of the pole rests on firm
ground. Fancy yourself sliding out on
one of these saplings stretched across
a crater's mouth, then slipping gently
off into the middle of a gurgling, bub-
bling, ice cold mass of mud and swing
ing yourself there, suspended by your
hands, until fatigued! Then, with just
life enough left to crawl back along the
log, you reach unyielding ground
again.
Once plunged into one of the craters
OF mud, with all ties to the sapling
above severed, a person would be lost
forever, being swallowed up In the
murky depths in an instant, for vastly
quicker in action and surer of its vic
tim than Quicksand is the mud of Men,
docino's mysterious volcanoes.
Cleanliness has nothing to do with
1t. 1t is not that for which people face
the dangers of the volcano bath. The
mud which is belched forth from the
earth's interior is supposed to contain
important medicinal properties.
There are about twenty-five of these
singular mud belching volcanoes in
Mendocino county, and they are among
CALIFORNIA; many wonders They are
situated high on a mountain side, sew
en- miles from Cahto. At this time of
the year they are unusually active.
Their gurgling roar may be heard for
a distance of several miles when they
are most violent. The mud frequently
shoots over the rim OF the crater, flows
down the mountain like lava stream
and enters one of the Eel rivers trib-
utaries called Mud creek. 1t fills the
craters, which are about five feet above
the earth's surface and bounded with a
circular base or miniature crater from
four to seven feet in diameter at the
base and two to three feet at the top.
Prospecting parties have hewn down
saplings fifty feet in length ard pushed
them into the mouth of crater. Some
of these have disappeared altogether.
Others remain near the surface, play
things of the muddy element. which
losses them about like fishermen's bob
bins in a rough sea- A significant CO.
incidence is the fact that when the
ocean. twenty miles away, is unusually
heavy and rough the volcanoes become
intensely active. belching forth not on
ly their burden of Ice cold mud. but
volumes of warm vapor. In some mys-
terious way the ocean seems to control
their action.

DIED ON A JOURNEY
Mosinee Woman Was On Her Way To
Chicago.

A woman about 80 years of age whose
home is near Mosinee died at the Fox
House in Portage Thursday, after Civ
ing birth to daughter.
She was taken i'll on train No. St, due
in Portage from the west at 2 a. m. On
the arrival of the train at this station
Fred Jorns and Henry Sinclair carried
her to room in the hotel, and sum-
moned Marshal Comstock and Dr.
Kellogg. A Mrs. Kerr, who had been
on the same train and who was to take
the old train east this morning, gave
the patient timely assistance. The
woman lived only about 10 minutes
after. the birth of the child, which
occurred not long after arriving at the
hotel. DR.. Kellogg, who attended her,
stated at the inquest that the cause of
her death undoubtedly was heart dis
ease. The new born babe and another
child of the stranger, little girl of 5
years who accompanied her, were given
in care of Mrs. g. w. Jackman at the
headquarters of the American Home
Finding Association.
In the dead womans pocketbook was
found small sum of money-about So
and railroad ticket from Mosinee to
Chicago. Agent Boyle of the Milwau-
hGC IOdu WlICu bIic ttSCIG III VuOSlucc, d
small station south of Wausau, asking
information of the woman. The
Mosinee agent replied that he didn't
know her name but remembered selling
her the ticket. Her home and relatives
were near Mosinee, he said, and he
would communicate with her husband
at once. He advised that the body be
held in Portage pending instructions.
At this writing no subsequent message
has been received from Mosinee and
no one in Portage knows the dead
woman's name.
The body was taken to Murison's
undertaking establishment, where it
now lies. A jury impaneled Thursday
morning by Justice Bunker viewed the
remains and at o'clock in the after
noon listened to the testimony of Dr.
Kellogg and Messrs. Boyle, Jorns and
Sinclair. An adjournment was taken
until p M today, when verdict will
be given. The jury comprises Messrs.
VIM. McDonough, Ed Fink, Richard
Veeder, Robt Waldenmeyer, NJ
Huber, W. j. Hanley.
Not word as to her identity could
be gotten from the woman this morn
ing. She appeared to be either Ger
man or Bohemian. IL is said she
asked in German as to the sex of her
child just before she died and seemed
pleased when told it was feminine. II

A LARGE FISH.

One of the largest ''muskys" ever
seen in Wausau was brought down
from Tomahawk last Monday morning
and the handsome fish was placed in 4
glass case on ice and displayed in one
of Mic lenders show windows, and the
same attracted a great deal of attention
all day. 1t was beauty and weighed
26s pounds. This mammoth muscal-
louge was caught by Mrs. Chas. A.
Nutter, at Tomahawk, in the Wisconsin
River, about one-half mile from the
poSt-offiee. Mr.. and Mrs. Nutter, &c
pass away time, went out boat riding
on Sunday afternoon and Mrs Nutter
dragged spoon hook from the hind
end of the boat. She hadn't the least
suspicion of hooking large fish, but
she did, and for two hours the '.musky''
made it lively for them Not, being
able to land the fish, Charlie called for
assistance from men on the shore. and
II couple came out with rifle and snc-
ceeded in putting a bullet through the
head of the big fish and it was pulled
into the boat. Ii was very well hooked
and could not have gotten away only
by breaking the line The Prior office
is under obligations for piece of the
large fish.

Our formor fellow citizen, H. III.
Grace, for many years past u resident
of Superior, where he is successful
attorney, has furnished the republican
newspapers with statement of his rea-
sons for returning to the republican
party. Some of MIR. Grace's reasons
for this move will sound very strange
to most democrats and republicans
He says he left the republican party be-
cause he was in favor of free trade, and
he returns now TO that party because it
has adopted free trade He further
says that there can be no such thing as
imperialism, because 50 per cent of the
voters of the United States are opposed
to retaining the PHILIPPINE islands and
don't want them. Therefore, though
not in favor of imperialism, he does not
fear It, he says further that although
he believes the money question was set
tied wrong in 1885, it was settled and it
is not wise now to disturb it. But, aside
from these things, Mr.. Grace says
enough to show that his chief reason is
that Superior is directly interested in
the Oriental trade, and he thinks the
present policy of the republican party
is going to help shipbuilding and ocean
commerce upon the Pacific.
