in the Territory, was here yesterday. He
is conveying across the continent twen-
ty-five LapIande5s who were sent by the
Government to Alaska thirty months ago
With reindeer and who are now on their
way home to Jokkonkk Lapland.
These Laplanders were sent TO Alaska
early in the Klondike excitement ..ith
reindeer that were to be used as heats
of burden and to aid the starving miners
The KIondikers were found to be less
needy than was supposed and the deer
we're not used for food, but were permit
ted to Increase naturally and now are
growing rapidly and have become thor
oughIy accIimated. The LapIanders were
employed as mail carriers, deer drivers,
etc, at a salary Of S265 a year each, be-
sides food and clothing They are now
going home, rich beyond their dreams,
with from $500 to 800 each, enough to
keep their families in affiuence for years.
Of the $40 deer first imported by the
Government with these LapIanders many
died of starvation on the way, hay being
found so rich a diet that they would not
eat it Later 700 head of female reindeer
were brought over from Siberia and the
Alaskan herd now numbers nearly 5000.

northern point of Alaska, another at Cape
Clarence, another at Cape Prince of Wales,
others at Nome, st. Lawrence Island and
elsewhere.

Topeka Joe's'' mysterious Eseane,

RICHMOND. Va, Sept. st is possible
that the sensational escape of Topeka
Joe" from the Richmond Jail may result
in the construction of new prison. The
present one is old and out of date and
its condition has often been criticised. The
escape of the noted burglar, for whose
capture detectives all over the country are
now on the alert, is as much a mystery to
the Richmond jail officials as ever There
are no tidings as yet from the fugitive
1t is believed that the prisoner obtained
the wire with which he made the claws
to use in scaling the wall from the old
buckets from the prison yard The story
about the wooden key with which Joe
opened his cell door is regarded by many
as ridiculous. The report is that the burg
lars wife came here and assisted him in
effecting his escape.

Cyclone Davis

Monday afternoon the great Texan,
Cyclone Davis, spoke to IA crowd here
| which packed the opera house to
its utmost capacity. He is man of
commanding presence and winning
personality. With the exception of
Bryan he made the finest political
speech we have ever heard.
He has fine voice and is eloquent,
logical and witty. His speeches are
entirely free from rancor and abuse
1t is almost impossible to give a
good write-up OF his speech, for one
becomes SO carried away by tn !. over
and force of his argument that one
forgets the note book.
His text was that Governments are
for the purpose of establishing and
maintain Public Justice, Tranquil
ity and Peace.''
The idea of the American plutocra-
cy seems to be that government is for
the purpose OF establishing trusts and
protecting them and their interests
here and abroad by standing army.
Taking the figures from the United
States Treasury Mr.. Davis showed
the public debt of the United States to
be $500 per head for every man, wom-
an and child in our nation, and is in
creasing. With a per capita circula-
lion of S25 it is easily seen where the
fearful industrial condit ons arise
from.
Taking Blackstone's definition that
civilization was the protection and
distri ribution of life's comforts and
conveniences, he made powerful in
dictment against our present indus
trial system which permitted few
men to make millions every year,
while thousands of coal miners in the
land averaged 984 cents per day.
AS the people by their by their bal
lots have said that the thing is to con-
tinue, we can only realize that love
and justice are not the ruling forces
in the average human life.
