CUTTING WHEAT.
The Superiority of Northern Wheat
over Native Varieties.

= +'--~Hf -
The superiority of northern
grown seed wheat over the native
varieties has iully been demon
strated by Mr.. f. A. Nelson this
year. His firm has about $50
acres Of wheat on what is known
as the Rally farm, all from north
ern seed. Thursday morning he
started two machines cutting the
crop, which is fully malured.
This Is a gain Of about ten days
on the everage crop and Ten days
at this time in the year means
very often the saving Of an entire
crop. Rust can completely ruin
many crops after Mr.. Nelson's
wheat is in the shock.-Clare-

An Interesting old Clock.

A most interesting old timepiece ts the clock standing in William TVS bed room at Hampton court and which Messra Gaydon & Sons of Kingston were recently commissioned to repair.
 The clock was made by Dan Quare about the year 1860 and is one of the most remarkable pieces of automatic mechanism in existence. It Is what is commonly known m "grnndfather clock" standing in Q very tall oak case. with heavy ormolu mounts There are several particulars in which this clock is almost if not quite unique. In tho first place 1t goes for l2 months at . time without winding. But moro re- markable than this is its ingenious mechanism. It is what is known as a "calendar" clock, and besides record ing the days of the month and tho months of tho year 1t also automatio' ally shows tho time of sunrise and sun- set.
 The last time tho clock was over hauled was early in the present cen tury. For the last 40 years, however. the clock has not been wound up It speaks we'll for the splendid workman ship of our ancestors that, with slight exceptions, MesEs Gaydon found tho works in as perfect a condition as when tho clock was originally made, and there is no reason why it should not last for another 900 years. s.-Londou Mail

The Arctic Brotherhood Is bound to be a globe eneircling order in despite of it's prssen, constitution to atmit as members none but those who have had an Alaska experience. and despite the fact that the parent camp Of SNlgwav has declined to issue charters to Toronto, Victoria, Seattle and other places that have applied for it that are south Of the American line in these waters. Captain Jarvis, of the mounted police of Pleasant Camp. Dalton trail, who has just been ordered to South Africa, declares that he will brand oom Paul with the 4.

 But Oom Paul Is plleitlv smoking his big pipe and singing psalms through his nose, and Mrs. Kruger and the family are busy wi,hthe knitting and the dishwash- ing. and there is jus, a chance that the old gentleman may be in position to refuse to be-a distinguished member of the A.

sKAGwAY-s FUTURE.

One Of our local contemporaries ex- horts SSagway Co become a great wholesale and distributing ceuter. But it forgets that owing Co SSagways pO- sitlOn in a lttl fringe Of alleged Alas ka territory, that town has no chance 10 become anything in the line Of a wholesale center. 10 can rest certain that as long as it remains outside or Yukon or British Columbia, it will l'not get any of the trade of this northern territory, and it Is not situated 90 as 10 secure any trade worth speaking of in Alaska. If S<agway Is tO remain out side of Canada then the purchases tor the lower as we'll as the upper Yukon country will be made in Vancouver, Victoria or in some centre on Canadian territory like Bennett. S<agway can nof expect 70 stay outside the fold and enjoy the trade and prosperity ot the Canadian north. Yukon Sun.
 The above is reprinted, no doubt with some amount of local exultation by the Victoria and Vancouver papers. The Yukon Sun is tho so-called gov rrnment organ; the Klondike Daily Nlggst Is an American newspaper, owned and edited by Americans. for Americans and in an alien country. lt was the Nugget that made the suggest ion that Skagway was the natural out 6tting and iobbing centre of the Klon- dike and the great trade of the interior and its suggestion is now under careful consideration by the Skagway Chamber of Commerce.

President Mckinley passed through here
on special train Of three coaches Monday
afternoon at one O'Clock. President and
Mrs. Mckinley were in their private car
Virginia, which was attached to the
rear OF the train.
The President is on a trip Of INDEFINITE
length through Ohio and the West. IL
was not generally known that the Nation
ruler was going through and consequent
ly there was a small crowd, numbering
only about twenty-five people, at the sta
ton TO see him.
When the train stopped the rear OF the
Presidents private car was immediately
surrounded by the crowd The President
opened the door and looked out, bowling
and smiling pleasantly for about Minute
and then came out onto the platform.
Everybody stood back and gazed at
him until Capt Daniel Webster Shaiter.
one Of Martinsburg's Democratic orators
seeing that none Of the Republicans IN
the crowd would break the ice, stepped
forward with the words u want to have
the honor Of shaking the hand OF the.
President Of the United States, and
grasped the hand of the President.
1t IS needless to say that the Captain
was followed by an eager crowd, WHO tol-
lowed the train and chung unto his hand
until it was going too fast to hold on any
longer.
The train stopped here three minutes.
The President got two papers here, the
Philadelphia Press and Baltimore Amer
ican, which he telegraphed ahead to have
ready for HIM
The local Republican Committee say
they will have either Mckinley or Roos
belt speak here before the close Of the
campaign.

longing to Joseph Bitner. Mr.. Bltner' 5
son who was selling the chickens, had

out chicken to suit his taste and laid
the money for It down on the wagon
seat. lust at this time the boy turned
his head and Shed picked up both money
and chickan and walked off.
His little game was seen by some
by-standers, who told the boy how he
had been worked" and put Chief OF Po-
lice Freeze on the case.
Officer Freeze was escorting Shed to
the lookup when he turned over the
money to the boy, and the officer released
him. with the warning that if ever caught
