STURGEON is NEARLY EXTINCT.
Rapid Decrease of Catch in the Past
Few Year,

Rapid Decrease of Catch In the Past
Few Years.
1t may surprise some persons to
learn that full-grown female stur-'
geon is as valuable a creature as the
fur seal. Yet this is a fact. 1t may
also interest and surprise many to be
told that more than $1,0O0,000 are in
vested In the sturgeon catching indus
try In the Delaware River alone, and
that more than seven-eighths of the
caviar sold in this country as Russian
caviar is made few miles below this
city from eggs of the sturgeon caught
In this vicinity. Yet both these things
are true also. The slaughter of the
fur seals in Behring Sea and their
threatened early extinction by Cana
dian poachers produced at one time
widespread excitement throughout the
country, and for while caused decid-
eddy strained relations between the
governments Of the United States and
England. The sturgeon is as perilous-
ly near extinction as the fur seal. At
the rate this valuable fish is disappear
ing and unless something Is promptly
done to prevent it in five years there
will be none to catch.
To show how rapidly the sturgeon
are passing away it is only necessary to
refer to the report of the Pennsylvania
Fish Commission. According to the
document, between the years 1880 and
1899 it was not uncommon for 1000
sturgeon to be seen on the dock at
Bayside as the result of one days
catch. In the latter named year the
| fish began to decrease in number rap
idly. The average catch to net that
season was go; in 1891 about Do; in
1892 it was 43; in 1898 it had fallen to
80; in 1894 down to 20; in 1895 the av-
erage to net rose to 80, but in 1895
it fell to 27; in 1897 the average was
| %; in 1898 1t fell to 10, and in 1899 1t
sank to 8. In 1898 the total catch OF
| sturgeon in. Delaware bay and river
was over 5000. Last season 1t was
2,510. 1t cannot take long at this ratio
to bring extermination.-Phila Philadelphia

Kansas City, Aug. 21.-Two-thirds
of Kansas, west of the three eastern
most tiers Of counties, is experiencing
one of the most severe drouths in the
history of the state, and the general op-
inion is that the Kansas corn crop will
be the smallest in proportion to its re-
quirements for feeding that has been
raised in many years. In 1899 there
was 225,000,000 bushels. Secretary
Coburn's report of conditions in August
indicated yield this year of about las,
100000 bushels. Since then there have
been two weeks of hot weather, which
has further materially reduced con
ditions, and the most liberal estimates
of well informed men on change do not
exceed 100,00O,O00 bushels, while many
place the crop at not over 100000
bushels. The blowing for winter
wheat is delayed by the dry conditions
of the soil. Pastures are dry and
stock water in many cisterns is scarce

Woman Dentist Goes to Cape Nome

traveller and explorer on the Pacific

Cape Nome gold fields, and when there

their mistress, and it was only by re-
peated coaxing that she could induce
even a pet dog to approach her. DR..
Cool is confident that she will fare as
well as any of the many people who
are tempting fortune at Nome.
Adventure is no new thing to this
woman dentist. Several years ago she
went to Central America to practice
her profession, and, though she could
not at the time of her arrival there
speak word of Spanish, she speedily

financially. A revolution, however,

RUSSIAN DISLIKE OF TUNNELS.

Remarkable Statement by an American
Railway Inspector.
There are naturally number OF
sweeping curves through the Urals, but
all tunneling has been avoided. The
writer did not see single tunnel in the
Ural Range. 1t is remarkable fact
that during the transslberian railway
Inspection the writer did not observe
L tunnel anywhere; and even after con-
tinuing the inspection right into the
heart Of Russia about 1000 miles more
Of line had been covered before he saw
the first tunnel. This was near Tyfa,
not far from the illustrious Tolstoi's
home; and 1t was while responding to
1 prearranged invitation from lie grande
Russo that the writer came across this,
the first tunnel noted, after 5000 miles
Of overland railway inspection.
A Russian railway engineer would
sooner blow up small mountain than
make a tunnel, leaving a yawning
chasm between the rocks, with two
'streaks Of rust" at the bottom thereof
as a souvenir of his activity. Or, If he
finds that, after going to the mountain.
the mountain is not likely to yield to
him, his instructions are to circumvent
1t by long detour. Anything to avoid

San Francisco, Aug. Ex-senator Ma

ing of the boundary situation, he scor-
ed Hay, saying: Secretary of State
Hay is anything but an American, and
he has committed an act for which he
will be called to account in the next
congress. Fifty-seven years ago the
United States bought from Russia GER
tain territory in the north, and that
territory has been held and protected
by our government for more than half
century. The boundary line is mar
ked by a church and monument at
one point and it made me indignant to
see the British flag had driven out the
Stars and Stripes from a highly valu
able territory. This is the assinine
work of Mr.. Hay in agreeing to tenn
porary line of boundary. The Amer
lean policy, which is we'll fixed, is tc
never give up foot of land that has
been honorably obtained, and this poll
cy should most certainly be followed
in Alaska. 1t is anything but pleas
ant experience to have American min
ers come to one with tears in their eyes
and show where they are ruined by the
fact that the protection of the flag had
been taken from them and they had
been placed under the dominion of the
British. There is no excuse for the
situation in the northwest, and the

KISSES ARE HIGHLY PRICED.
Kansas schoo1ma'a m Distributes Them
as Rewards of Merit.

Kansas Schoolma'a m Distributes Them
az Rewards of Merit.
In Nemaha County, Kansas, Miss
Mile Daniels, who is described as un-
usually handsome, has adopted novel
means Of rewarding the faithful and
well-behaved among her pupils, and
her plan has been approved by the
board of trustees, who have engaged
her for another year. Miss Daniels,
whenever student attends school one
whole week without being tardy or alb
sent, kisses that student, whether male
or female. If the student is tardy only
once she allows that student to kiss
her. Ali students who disobey this
standard are ruled out Of the kissing
match. The kisses are given and
taken every Friday afternoon. Need.
less to say the young men do not play
'"hooky" on that day.
There are sixty-five pupils at the
Wilson district school. Four years age
Miss Daniels went there from Illinois
She was good teacher, but the stu
dents, mostly boys, were hopeless vic
Tins Of the ''hooky" habit. Try as she
would the pretty schoolma'am could
not keep them in school regularly. She
arranged list of prizes to those who
attended regularly, but they held nc
attractions for the country boys.
Then she consulted with the school
board on the kissing question. They
were willing If she cared to experiment
that way. Some of the school board
said among themselves If she did adopt
the plan they believed they would
start to school again. So two years
ago she adopted the scheme, and 1t has
worked well ever since. Speaking Of
her unique experience Miss Daniels
said:
81 do not think I am doing anything
wrong in allowing my young men stu
dents to kiss me as prizes for obedi
ence. Indeed, think it is great re
form or should not practice it. My
