Come Easy. Go Easy.-KIondikes Spending
His Money.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, w. Va, Oct.
15.-''Jimmy'' Adams has returned
from the Klondike. He has also
created a sensation by his speetacu-
lar arrival. When he left here three
years ago he went with nothing and
on a freight train. He returaed yes
terday in a private Cur, hauled BY a
leased locomotive, and brought with
him nearly $500, coo in gold and
papers representing mining possess
ions worth $4,000, 600 and prospect
lively worth ten times as much. When
he was back from the north two years
ago he had some gold and good prps-
poets. but he had not written home
since, and no one was prepared ior
his return.
AT Detroit he tired OF travelling in
ordinary trains and took the best and
biggest a he could get at $500 a day,
coming along leisurely and stopping
at Niagara Falls and New York
When he got to Brunswick he leased
an engine to come over the branch to
Berkeley Springs arriving at the
station without a soul in the town
expecting him. He had ten big trunks
hauled to his fathers house and Sl5a.
900 in gold taken to the bank. A
year ago he bought the old folks a
farm and yesterday he gave his father
$40, 900 to put up a house. Jimmy
is a little past %.

Grinding the Sugar Crop.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, October 1.-THE
grinding eason on the sugar plaDta-
tions began to-day. Although the
damage to the sugar mills, refineries
and plantation buildings in the storm
swept district was very heavy, very
substantial progress has been made in
rebuilding, so that very many more
mills are ready to begin grinding to-
day than vas expected. 1t is now
learned that the sugar cane was not
as badly damaged by the storm as
was supposed. The cane was blown
fat in many places, but this does not
prevent its being cut. 1t is conserva-
lively estimated that the damage will
not exceed ten per cent.

The California bonanza farmers are
perfecting their automobile planting
and harvesting machinery, and it is
estimated that ten ordinary labOrers
are able to do the work with the new
devices that a hundred skilled agri-
culturalists could do with the old
machinery. Sixteen plows, four
harrows and a press drill all pillow,
harrow and seed at one and the same
operation. In harvesting time the
wheat is headed, thrashed, cleaned
and sacked at one operation. These
enormous machines are driving the
small farmers of the west off the face
of the earth, and the pressure is also
becoming severely felt among the
agriculturists east of the Mis- sissippi.

A Democratic Slash at the Schools.

1t is no new fact that the money be-
longing to the schools of Missouri has
the same effect on the Democratic Off
Gals of this State as a red rag on a
bull. In these times they plunge for
the cash and replace it with a certifi-
cate of Indebtedness supported by a
tax levy. In 1861 they walked off
bodily with two years. apportionment
for the schools without even leaving
behind an ''unconvertable and I'M
transferable certificate of debt, or
even a vote of thanks. On page % of
the published acts of the extra session
of the Legislature that met in May,
1861, appears the following resolution,
which was approved May u: Gre
solved by the General Assembly of the
State of Missouri, That the appOr-
tionment of the schoo oil money, provid-
ed by law to be made in May, be sus-
pended for the year 1861, and that the
Superintendent of Public Schools be
hereby authorized and required to
postpone making said apportienment,
to await the further disposition of said
fund by the General Assembly,"
The younger generation of Missou-
rians will notice that there was a time
when the money of the schools was
completely shut off by a Democratic
administration. On the same day that
this joint resolution vas approved an
act was passed appropriating nearly
all the money in the State treasury,
including all the school money for two
years, to a militia fund.-. The school
money for two years was explicitly
named and credited to the militia
all OF which facts are officially
set forth in the extra session acts of
1861. 1t can be remarked that the
administrations in Mis-
souri, have never been 50 liberal with
the militia at any other period. Cir
cumstaaces connected with an unpleas-
antness compelled the Governor and
of Missouri in 1861 to ad-
iOurn to a sister State, but the mark
they made on the schools is no harder
to explain. than the later complete
plumber of the school fund--Globe-

Ex-Secretary Carlisle's letter in
favor of honest ballot in Kentucky
ought to have some influence against
the political wreckers who set aside
the will of the people of that state
last year. There will undoubtedly be
a large Democratic support for the
Republican ticket in Kentucky this
year. and it will tell in favor of the
presidential candidates as we'll as the
state nominees. Mckinley will be
aided by the Democratic r~ascality
which put into power in Kentucky a
man who was defeated at the ballot
box. 1t looks as if Kentucky would
90 in 1900 as it did in 1896. -Globe-

Smallpox Scare in Alaska.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-Word
comes from Alaska of many cases of
smallpox there, and that people are
considerably worked up, being afraid
of an epipemic. All vessels coming
from Alaskan ports are now examin-
ed thoroughly on arriving here. A
tug is sent out to meet all Alaskan
vessels, and warn them not to land
any passengers or merchandise until
a clean bill of health has been given
by the quarantine doctors.

ers: "You would like to sell your
wheat for than As cents per BUSH

restore the silver dollar to its place in

Well, wheat stands solidly at so cents,

silver has not been restored. Is a
false prophet entitled to either credit

A Catholic priest at ST. Louis has
taken a pronounced stand against the

with open-work yokes and sleeves
worn by women this year, and refuses

mo self-respecting woman would APP
pear in public in such a costume.

A Kansas paper tells of a man who
borrowed d neighbours hen recently
on the pretense that he wanted to set
her. AS soon as he got the hen he
broke up the setting habit and got her
to laying eggs. In the next six weeks
she laid two dozen eggs. These he
sold for 40 cents a dozen and with
the eighty cents he got for them he
bought the hen. Now the question
ARISES whether The original owner of
the hen was fooled or not.

About Galveston.

The Galveston horror is not the first ca
tastrophy of the kind that has befallen the
Gulf section, though involving greater loss
of life and destruction OF property than
were wrought by earlier storms. On the
10th of August, 1886. a hurricane swept
over a portion of the Gulf of Mexico and
entirely submerged Last Island, one of the
group of sand islands stretching along the
southern coast of Louisiana. The island
was favorite summer resort for planters
and their families, and, when visited by the
storm, had temporary population of about
four hundred souls, chiefly from adjacent
parishes. OF this number more than one
half were drowned and every building on
the island was swept away by the fury of
the storm. NJ. +. Bigney, now deceased,
for many years connected with the New
Orleans press, COMMUNICATED the sad event
in poem entitled 'Last Island" publish
ed in a volume with other poems in 1867.
The writer visited Galveston many times
in ante belum days. The place was then
in its infancy, and we recall the tedious
walking in the loose sand of the streets,
and the wonder that there should be such a
wealth of foliage, trees, shrubs and vines,
in the residential section. A striking fea-
ture then was the numerous wooden els
terms, shaped like our standpipe, and stood
upon posts. These received the rain which
fell upon the roofs of the buildings and
were the main source of water supply. 1t
was at Galveston we first made the acquaint-
ance of broiled oysters. The Gulf oysters
are very large and are thus good subjects
for the broiler, and served hot on toast
made dish that still fingers in the memory
The Galveston of recent days has paved
streets, water works, electric lights, and all
the adjuncts of modern civilization.
