BOER FAMILIES.

REPEATED RUMOR THAT A NUM-
BIER WILL SETTLE ALONG THE
N. p. e. G. N.
st. Paul, Dec. 3-Between 600 and
1.WW Bocr families will locate on the
line of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific.
Rumors to this effect have been cur
rent for three or four months and the
general public has been led to believe
that they were rumors only. lnfor-
nation is at hand now showing that
the emigration from South Africa is
Int a matter of a short time. Natur-
ally the western railroad officials are
adverse to discussing the probable To-
cation of these people until the fact is
accomplished. Especially is this true
in view of the strong competition OF
the roads. The Burlington was i n
strumental in bringing to the west
twenty-five representative Beers, who
are now in Montana, and who have
been searching for desirable locations.
Their presence was noted in these col
umns about ten days ago, and was fol-
lowed by the announcement by one OF
the officials of a transcontinental line
that a large party of settlers was eX-
Dected to 20 forward from st. Paul
during the winter-a party numbering
thousands. Though this notice occu-
pied less than four lines. it created a
great commotion among the officials
and employees, and the offending party
was threatened with discipline.
Yesterday it was said that the Large
party referred to was the Boer emf
grants and 1nat much secrecy has been
observed in negotiating with the Beers
for the reason that several different
railroads are trying to get them to To-
cate on their lines.
A cablegram from LourenZo Mar
uues, says that 100 Boer. families are
gathered at that port and will soon
embark for America.
There are a number of locations on
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific where such a large party could
find suitable homes. North Dakota.
Montana and Washington offer special
inducements. and it is said that the
Boer agents have visited all of these
places and have selected sites for the
emigrants who are to follow.
So much secrecy surrounds the ne
gotiations for this large party of new
and desirable settlers that little pub
licity is anticipated until the arrival
of the first contingent from South
Africa.

HUDSON BAY BUILDINGS.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The daily mail
route from Devils Lake to Fort Tot
ten has been extended to OberOn on
the Northern Pacific railroad, a dis
lance of l. miles; this will open up a
Snort cut and will undoubtedly be
much patronized by the travelling pub
lie between the two lines of railroad.
In connection with departmental
gossip around the office of commits
sioner Of Indian affairs, it is rumored
that the old Hudson Bay buildings
which were used as a post traders
store and hostelry during the occu-
pancy of the soldiers at the fort, but
which of late years has been used as
an Episcopal mission, will again be
thrown open to the travelling public as
a hotel in connection with an Indian
traders store. If the buildings are
used for this purpose, IS is being
urged, it is probable that a new and
modern mission will be built for the
Episcopals at or on some other part
of the reservation. The idea of the
department seems to be a more liberal
policy in connection with reservations
like this one, in that it will invite COM
petition and bring the natives who
have become full-f1edged citizens into
closer relations with the whites and
thereby learn our methods and become
better citizens.

Dewey Likely To Withdraw.

Washington, d. c., May 1S.-"I
would net make Admiral Dewey the
president of the United States, even if
| could do so by raising my little fin
ger"
So said Mrs. Dewey in a burst of
confidence to a friend today.
81 am perfectly happy in the quiet
domestic flow of my married life at
'Beauvior,' and I would not exchange
it for all the glitter of public life"
Many friends of Admiral and Mrs.
Dewy say that it will only be mat
ter of few days before the hero of
Manila Bay will withdraw from the
candidacy for president, Mrs. Dewey's
friends declare that she is responsible
for the admiral's decision in this mat
ter, as she is thoroughly disgusted
with the personal publicity the affair
has produced.
One reason advanced for Mrs. Dew
ey's fondness for her summer home
"Beauvoir," is that it was the scene of
her last romance. 1t was there, so says
rumor, that the admiral courted and
became engaged to the fair lady who
rules over his freside.

Oil Tank on Fire.

Findlay, O., May 1S.-During a Sc
we're thunderstorm at an early hour
this morning, lightning struck one of
the monster tanks of oil belonging to
the Buckeye Pipe Line company, on
The Cramer farm, four miles southwest
of this city. The tank contained up
wards of 10000 barrels of crude oil and
this blaZed up in stream OF fire that
fairly mounted to the heavens. Vast
pals of smoke rose for thousands of
feet and floated away until the sun
was obscured over large area. The
tank was one of about 100 situated to-
gether, and in a short time 300 men
we're sent from the city to battle with
The flames in an effort to save the mil
lions of barrels in the other tanks.
Huge embankments were thrown up
around the burning tank, where the
oil was boiling over and covering the
ground with running flame, threat
ening every moment to envelope the
ldhho. EhilSi tic
ments were completed cannon was
procured and. siX-pound balls shot into
the tank to let the oil onto the ground,
tO prevent an explosion. The fire was
confined to the one tank. The loss will
amount to about $4,000.
These tanks are of iron and are but
35 feet in height, with diameter OF
100 feet, their capacity being $4,000
barrels of oil. They are used to store
the bulk, or crude, oil and are usually
located in groups. The oil is pumped
from the small individual tanks of the
producers into these monster tanks,
and from the latter is pumped to Chic
ago or to Cleveland and the seaboard
for refining.

Wants An Indian Name.

To the Editor of the Sun: A Con-
gresham has just introduced a bill
providing for the erection of the In
dian Territory into regular territory
to be named Jefferson" 1t is to be
hoped that the name at least will not
be given and that never again will the
name of any person, no matter how
great, be given to territory or state
of the Union.
The most abominably confusing
name we have now is Washington, and
thousands OF people, dare say, daily
curse the givers of the name to a state,
because of being compelled to add
State to their sentences and explain
away an everlasting mixup with cities
and towns of the same name. They
had the opportunity there of placing
one of the mcst beautiful Indian
names-Tacoma--in our list OF states,
but the sapheads OF the day didn't
have sentiment enough to do it. Now,
let us pray that another botch be
avoided in the case of the Indian Ter
ritory. Ask for an Indian name of
Significance and beauty belonging to
that region for the new territory and
] will venture score OF them will be
submitted 70 choose from at once.

Pair of Curious Relics.

In the earlier half of the century the
practice CT stealing bodies from the
,hurchyards where they had been in
erred, for the purpose of sale as sub
iects for dissection, which was known
rs "body-snatching," was for time
very rife.
Vigorous plans were made to defeat
he nefarious and sacriligious pro-
,eedings Of the "body-snatchers" or
'resurrectionists" as they were some
lines called, very common one being
he erection of two or more watch
houses whose windows commanded
he whole burying ground and in
which the friends of the deceased
mounted guard for number of nights
lfter the funeral.
A usual method of the graye-robbers
vas to dig down to the head of the
!offln, bore in il large round hole
by means of specially constructed
,enter bit and haul the body to the
surface with a hook-rope. 1t was to
;ounteract this maneuver that the two
curious cofin-like relics now lying on
either side of the door OF the ruined
church OF Aberfoyle in Perthshire,
we're constructed. They are solid
masses of cast iron, and, as may well
Je imagined, of enormous weight. On
he upper side Of each are provided
wo loops or handles.
When an interment took place one
of these slabs by suitable derricks,
ackles and chains onto the top of the
oofiin, the grave was filled in and
here it was left for some considerable
lime. Later on the grave was opened
md the iron armor plate was remov-
ed and laid aside ready for another
iuneral.
Although these contrivances have
not been used for many years, they
still lie on the grass of the lonely lit
lie church yard, objects of curiosity to
the passing tourist.

Montana Senatorial Situation.

Even the most violent antagonists
OF Senator Clark admit that the ap-
pointment Of Martin McGinnis by
Governor Smith, OF Montana, today in
no wise affects the legal aspects of the
case. 1t is conceded that If any ap-
pointment is legitimate at all under the
circumstances that made by Lieuten-
ant Governor of Montana must stand.
The only bearing the appointment Of
McGinnis will have upon the case is
that as two sets of credentials will be
presented to the Senate, there will be
grounds for a contest before the Com
mittee on Elections. which, doubtless,
will lead to another ventilation OF
Montana political corruption, and will
delay definite settlement of the Clark
case. This is the second effort of Mr..
McGinnis to break into the United
States Senate. In 1890, when Montana
was first erected to state, the Legis-
lature split and Republican and
Democratic body sat simultaneously
and elected two sets of United States
Senators. w. T. Saunders and 7. c.
Powers came to Washington with
credentials from the Republican Legis-
lature. Martin McGinnis, and curl
ously enough, his present antagonist,
w. A. Clark, appeared before the bar
OF the Senate with credentials from
the Democratic Legislature. Saund-
ers and Powers, the Republican Sena-
tors-elect, were seated.

Columbus Has the Grippe.

Columbus, O., May 1S.-"Its the old
grip in new dress" seems to be the
verdict of the majority OF Columbus
physicians on the new disease that is
sweeping the city. Their are thous-
ands of persons afflicted Every ply
sician has from dozen to fifty cases,
and the disease seems to have two
lines of attack. The most common
point of attack is the bowels, though
in few cases the lungs and larynx.
In these cases the disease Is danger
Gus and number of fatal cases have
resulted
The disease affects rich and poor
alike. The residents of the brown
stone front palaces and the humble
dweller of the back alleys are af-
fected the same.
The dread malady spares neither
age, sex nor previous condition, and
the worst feature of the entire affair
is that the trouble is contagious. A
number of physicians are down with
the disease, and in some cases their
entire families are afflicted. Many
nurses who have been sent out by the
physicians, have capitulated to the
prevalent malady, and in some cases
physicians have been compelled to do
extra duty on account of the wide
spread of the trouble.
The lack of rain. the turning up of
the soil by the farmers and the build
ers, and the sudden change from cold
to the heat of summer, are said to be
the aggravating causes of the trouble.
When the disease attacks the bow
els, there is first cramp followed by
copious diarrhoea and extreme Ian
gour In some cases there is delirium,
and in nearly all cases there is a sud-
den rise in the temperature.
