The Company he Keeps.

We do not question the sim
certify of those who maintain that
Mr.. Bryan Is sincere reformer.
But what reform they expect him
to accomplish, knowing who are
his chief supporters and most
trusted lieutepants, we do not
understand. For our own part,
we can entertain no deep convic-
ton of the sincerity of a reiormer
whose bosom friend is Elk Cover
nor Altgeld, the man who would
not lit finger to suppress the
rioting in Chicago, but foaned at
mouth with impotent rage when
President Cleveland put down the
Anarchy which had come to
threaten the peace of the whole
country. We do not anticipate
sincere action in favor of purifying
our politics from a man who gra-
ciously receives Mr.. Croker and
the gang who have made the dem
ocratic party in New York stencil
in the nostrils of the community.
We do not look for sincere en-
deavors to lessen the influence of
the money power in our govern
ment from the man who admits
Mr.. Clark Of Montana, to a posi-
ton of influence in his party. We
do not know that it is true that
Mr.. Clark will give million dol
lars to help Mr.. Bryan's cause.
But we feel quite sure that if Mr..
Clark pays his money. he will not
pay it for nothing, and we do not
expect Mr.. Bryan to insist on his
expulsion from the senate when he
next applies for admission. No
better test of reformer's sincerity
can be found than the company he
keeps; and Mr.. Bryan does not APP.
pear to us to stand the test.-(N.

AS reports come in from the
various parts of the state it seems
evident that the hardest fight in
the coming state campaign is to be
on the congressman and on the
legislature. The democratic-con
gressional committee is behind Du-
bois and Dubois will fight like a
man leading forlorn hope. With
the split on the state ticket the
fusion chances are reduced to a
minimum, and in the hands OF an
adroit manipulation like Dubois,
will be used simply for trading ma
terial. The hardest fight in Idaho
will be the fight for the control of
the legislature to carry Dubois
into the United States senate.

1t is a tonnage too great to be

to leave open for the competition
Of some rival like the Burlington.

The Nome Gold Fields,

The first map folder or circular re-
speeding the Klondike goldstrike of 1893
was issued by the Northern Pacific Rail-
way. 1t is more than a coincidence that
the first map folder or pamphlet OF the
Noma Mining district comes from the
same source. The present folder not
only contains a good map of the Nome
district but is embellished with several
cuts of views at Nome City and on the
beach where the method OF mining is
clearly shown. All information obtain
able regarding sailing dates from Seattle
and Tacoma, through rates, ETC., is given
in this book and the public cautioned to
go to the agents of the N. P. Ry., who
are supplied with diagrams of the Alaska
steamers, and arrange at once for their
Accommodations rather than to put off this
very important business until they reach
Puget Sound. There is no doubt but
what there will be a very considerable
passenger business from the middle and
eastern states and a very heavy business
from the Pacific Coast states to the
Nome district next spring.

Peculiarities of Quail.


There are many odd and interesting
things to be said of the quail, which is
known throughout a large scope of the
country as the partridge. One is that
it has the power when badly frighten-
ed of Withholding its scent. \. covey.
quickly flushed. will scatter and lie 81.
close the best dog in the world Will
overrun them, making no sign of point
until the bird fiutters up right under
foot. Another is that it has the faculty
of Stimulating death. if taken winged
in hand, and of coming quickly to life
the minute the grasp is relaxed in the
neighborhood of good cover. Further.
the birds have a sort Of barOmetric
sense.
A woodsman marking the direction
in which quail feed can almost certain
ly foretell the days weather. If they
choose stubble or cornfields. it will be
mild and moist; if they go to the open
woods, he looks for wind and sun If
they scurry for thickets Of brier and
sedgc. then he knows bitter cold is i'm
minent. Unless forced to migrate by
lack of food a covey always sleeps
within 100 yards of the nest it. was
Matched in, and this although it may
have fed all day several miles away.
The sleeping ls done in a huddlrtl ring,
tails in, heads out, all around and SO
closely punched that a good sized nap
kin will cover it. Instinct possibly lies
back of the ring making. Thus the shy
creatures hope to escape surprise from
creeping vermin. minks, weaslcs, foxes,
which steal upon them in the night.

STARTED A PRAIRIE FIRE.
An Army OMcer Caused the wor

An Army Officer Caused the Worst
One Ever known In Kansas.
The greatest prairie fire knowu in
Kansas was in the year 1869, and it
was set out by an officer Of the United
States government.
One day in 1869 he and a party of
officers from Fort Hays were returning
from a wild turkey hunt in the can
yons Of the Saline. The wind, was
blowing a hurricane, and when u stop
was made Oh the high prairie some ten
miles north Of Hays this officer de-
liberately touched a match to the dry,
crisp grass in order to make a spec
tacle. When the other officers saw
what he was about to do, they made a
desperate effort to stop him, but the
deed had been done, and the red
flames were Keeling across the prairie
like a frightened antelope. That fire
swept from where 1t had been started
clear across Kansas into what is now
Oklahoma. The streams and roads
offered no obstacles to it whatever.
While going south it had also turned to
the east and left a trail Of ruin across
Rice, Reno. kingman, Harper and 9th
er counties. Thousands of settlers
were burned out, losing their houses
n their feed, their horses and cattle.
If the man who set that fire had been
known to the settlers, all the troops on
the plains would not have been enough
to stay their vengeance. AS it was, he
suffered remorse beyond description.
Wien the officers at Hays would bring
him papers, telling of the damage
done, he would groan and curse him
self roundly. He left Hays for some
other post in the following year, and.
so far al we know, his name was new

fire of 1SG9.-Kansas City Journal.
