to advices from Norton Bay, the body Of
Oliver Woodruff Scott, former resident
of Tacoma, was found fifty miles from the
! mouth Of the Ungatulik River, flowing
into Norton Bay little note book which
was found on his person discloses tale
Of murder, starvation, sickness, and death.
Originally scott's party consisted of FIVE
persons: Scott, DR.. A. A. Keyser, OF
Minneapolis; W. W. Wright, and r.
B. Haines. Of San Francisco, and George
Beckholdt, also said to be from Minneap-
oils. OF the party Of five four are dead.
according to the entries In SCOTS diary
The latest entry was made February I,
and his body was discovered on May IS
Foxes and other wild animals had almost
denuded the bones Of flesh. The party
had been back from the coast several
hundred miles. working an old Russian
placer mine. The story. as CLEANED from
Scott's diary, is about as follows:
The party had reached the diggings
about the last of August With the aid
of whipsaw enough lumber was manu-
featured to build sluices, boxes, and every
one worked hard. The results of the first
weeks clean up was surprise. Over
10000 rewarded them for their pains.
Here is where the trouble started. One
Sunday morning Scott. Haines, and Beck
holdt, who slept in tent by themselves,
were awakened by Wright, who shouted
to them to get up. that Keyser. or Key"
as they called him. was killed.
On his bed lay Keyser, an ugly knife
wound showing through his underclothes.
1t was evident that some one in the camp
had committed the deed Further develop
ments proved that the assassin was
Wright. He took his gun on the following
Tuesday and started out, explaining that
he was going hunting. A few hours later
Beckholdt was shot in the back while
talking with Scott and Haines, and ex-
pired almost Immediately. ''
The two remaining men secured their
guns and silently started out to hunt the
murderer. After a chase of two days, all
the time in the direction Of the coast, he
was captured. but only after Haines had
been wounded and Wright himself fatally
shot. Wright died within two days. Scott
was attacked by scurvy and was, soon on
his back. He had lucid intervals every
once in while. and made several entries
Of how strangely Haines acted; that he
appeared to be going crazy.
From the appearance Of Scott's half de-
nuded body he was evidently shot by
Haines while unconscious. Upon picking
up the remains the bullet dropped from
the spine. AS Haines has not been seen
by anyone near the coast he evidently
wandered away in a demented condition
toward the mountains. The news Of the
discovery was taken to Ungatulik and
party, headed by Herbert Murray, Is now
endeavoring to find the rich Russian dig
ging which the party located. Pretty pre-
else directions were found in Scott's note
book, and they anticipate no difficulty in
finding the ground.

OUAlL-HUNTlNG IN EGYPT.
Half a Million Year Ensnared by
Natives.

Half a Million a Year Ensnared by
Natives.
Much has been said lately Of the cap
ture of quail in Egypt, touching the
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French terri
tory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt, but they do
by the millions.
The passage of bands of quail over
the coast of the delta of the Nile, from
Port Said to Alexandria, begins in Sep
TENDER and lasts a month and half,
the birds arriving in little groups and
alghting on the dunes.
Generally the chase is made by means
of nets Of five meters high, which the
natives extend on cords fastened to
poles, in the fashion Of curtains glid-
ing on their rods.
In reality the net Is double. The first
near the side of the sea Is of meshes
very large and loose, but on the back
Is another net where the bird will real
ly come and perch itself in the folds
formed by this second net of small
meShes. There Is another method OF
capture which is more picturesque
Rows Of dried branches are placed on
the shore. AT the foot Of each branch
is disposed a tuft of fresh herbs, IN
the middle of which is arranged an
opening which ends in a snare the
quail tired by its tourney takes refuge
in the branch, without figuring to itself
that it is going to put itself into trap
where a native will surprise it and Kill
it. With these perfected means of de-
struction, it is not astonishing that eacn
year more than half a million of these
poor little birds are taken.-St. Louis

There are two facts which will make
the year 1900 an epoch marker in hui
man events: /. 1t will be the first
time in the history of mankind that
sixteen millions of freemen have voted
In the choice of their national Chief
Magistrate. 2. The man whom they
elect will be the first American Presi-
dent lnaugurated in the twentieth CEN
fury, and from his Inauguration the
progress of the American people will
be reckoned during that century. There
Is indeed no way of indicating the
growth of this nation that is more
striking than to state the record of a
few of its Presidential votes. Abra-
ham Lincoln received a popular vote of
less than 100000 in a total vote of
4,6S0, 1913. That was only forty years
ago. Garfield was elected in 1880 by a
vote of 4, 449,053 in a total of 9,2O9, 416.
The President chosen this year will GER
tainly poll a popular vote of 100000
or thereabouts-fou times as many as
were cast for Lincoln and nearly twice
as many as were cast for all candidates
in 1880.

In a recent divorce suit in the Dis
trict of Columbia the wife was given a
decree and alimony, but her prayer for
the custody of their children was dis
missed and the father named as GUS
todian instead. The decision was upon
purely economic grounds. The Judge
held that father is the guardian that
the law recognizes and the one that the
law holds to be responsible for proper
support and education, and ia diScharg-
ing the responsibility that the law
places upon him father should not be
hampered in deciding what is the best
for his charges. 1t is an unwelcome
precedent. Nature intended mothers
to be the rearers as we'll as the bear
ers of children. No judgment that
father may possess can compensate for
the loss of parental direction inspired
by maternal love, love born with and
growing with the child. There are ex-
ceptions that prove the rule, of course.
The legal responsibility that influenced
the novel decision could have been re-
moved by awarding the custody of the
children to the mother and requiring
that the father pay a stipulated sum at
regular intervals for the proper sup
port and education of the children. He
will have TO pay much more for in
feriOr attention. To say nothing of nat
ural or acquired disposition or capacity
for directing the steps Of the children
that fathers do not possess and of
which mothers have an overabundance.
fathers are required to absent them
selves from home pursuing their voca-
tons. The attention that they can not
give, even If possessing the aptitude,
needs must be purchased. Considering
only the welfare of the children. the
only consideration that is entitled TO
hearing, how much better it would
have been for the court to have ordered
that the purchase of this attention
should be from the mother, by giving
them into her custody and command
ing the father to contribute to their
support. The laws responsibility would
have been discharged and natures OBJ
ject furthered.

Brunswick, Me-, a place of about
