The blueberry crop in Douglas County
is now being harvested and there are Il
great many Indians that are feeling ex-
ceedingly blue over the outlook. The con
dition Of the crop is likely to cause very
hard times among these people this sum
mer. The yield is only a small percent
age of the average yield, on account of
the great drouth which prevailed early in
the season. The Indians are now getting
as high as SO a bushel for them, where
as they got but about $1.50 per bushel a

A sick man was put aboard the North
ern Pacific train az Wentworth recently
and taken to West Superior for treat
ment Several of the Ashland boys who
were on board the train bound for the
Elks carnival, saw the sick man, but at
that time the nature of his disease was
not known. 1t has since developed into
case of smallpox, and the entire camp
at that place, composed of 40 men in
charge of John Redy, has been placed
under quarantine.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington correspondence;

Washington correspondence:
President Mckinley has reluctantly
concluded that campaigning from his
front porch in Canton is not the
proper way of earning his salary as the
highest official of the land. This change
OF plan is announced since the Repub-
scan leaders, who have their ears to
the ground, have realized that the DEM
ocratic Convention at Kansas City pro-
| duced profound and favorable inn
preston upon all classes of citizens.
The Democratic platform took high
ground and stated the issues on the
basis of constitutional principle. The
patriotic response to this appeal comes
from all sections of the country. So
the administration regrets to state that
it will be very much upon its good be-
hayior for the next few months, and
Mckinley returns to Washington, find
ing an excuse in the Chinese situation
to cover his change of plan.
The ruse will not work. The people
are Judging this administration on its
record Of the past four years, and no
amount of apparent devotion to duty
during the campaign will wipe out the
record of errors and mismanagement
which stains this administration.
When the Republicans themselves
created scandal about the weak and
eyasiye character of their platform, the
White House apologists fastened to
assure the country that McKinley's re-
ply to the formal notification of his
nomination would constitute the real
platform. Well, the notification has
been given, and incidentally it may be
remarked that the factories about Can
ton were closed down and the wage
workers herded up to the front porch
and exhibited in their working clothes
as a part of the farce. How glad it
must have made these independent
and prosperous" workingmen to know
that their employers generously let
their wages go on for the few hours
while they were turned out on parade
| at the Mckinley home.
II must be that the Republicans have
no real arguments to offer in this cam
pslgn. They are literally the party
without platform-eXcept that built
OF their own mistakes -and they are
Numerous enough.

Deals in Platitudes.

President Mckinley, in formally ac-
cepting a denomination, deals Ia the
same platitudes with which he has
wearied the country for the last two
years. He ignores the facts and weaves
| rainbow-tinted cobwebs about the ugly
facts which have characterized his adj
mnistratiop About the only pertinent
! remark which lie makes in his refer
cree to his. colonial policy is this:
Some things have happened which
were not promised, not even forescen."
| Quite right he Is on that point, but
when he talks about the Republican
party liberatng 100000 of the hui
man family from ''the yoke of imperial
ISM he insults the intelligence OF the
voters Of the country. The Republican
party has simply tried to exchange
the blue-blooded Imperialism OF Spain
for that of the carpetbagger Of the
| United States, and no wonder the Fill
piaos object to change of masters
when they have right to expect indie
pendence.
Mckinley wabbles as usual when he
attempts to discuss the Porto Rican
| mStter He asserts that we have given
that island "benefcent government"
and strings out a few vague phrases
| about Congress legislating with due
| reference to the fundamental principles
of liberty, etc, But not once does he
dare to admit that this Congress at
tempted to put itself above the Consti-
tuition. nor can he affirm that 1t did not
DO this.
Ele is silent about the Cuban postal
frauds, the failure to pass the Mica
ragua canal bill, the failure to express
sympathy for the Beers, the turning
down of all labor legislation, the armor-
plate grab and a dozen other live issues
brought up whenever a review of his
administration is made He seems
honestly TO believe that nobody knows
of his mistakes. and he is evidently
trying earnestly to forget them himself.
Roosevelt hurried through n very
brief and disjointed acceptance Of his
nomination in order to marshal the
committee and himself before the group
of impatient photographers who infest-
ed the porch at Oyster Bay. Roosevelt
poses at least ten times a day before
the camera, and it Is apparent that he
feels that the dissemination Of his va
rious photographs is the one thing
needful for successful campaign.
Roosevelt has neither platform nor con-.
yictions in this campaign He rather
sulkily repeats the official formula that
he "hopes Mckinley will be reelected"
but even in accepting the Vice FRESH
Dental nomination he could not :or-
bear to express his chagrin at bFlng
edged out of New York politics.

ESTIMATE SIZE OF THE SUN.
Comparisons Show It to Be yer5
 Large Affair.

The earth on which we stand is. no doubt a mighty globe, measuring as 1t does 5000 miles in diameter, yet what are its dimensions in comparison with those of the sun? If the earth be rep- resented by a grain of mustard seed. then on the same scale the sun should be represented by coeoanut. Per- haps, however, a more impressive con- ception of the dimensions of the great orb of day may be obtained in this way: Think of the moon, the queen of the night, which circles monthly around our heavens, pursuing as she does majestic track at a distance Of 24o,000 miles from the earth. Yet the sun is so vast that if it were a hollow ball the moon could reyolve in the or. bit which it now follows and still be entirely inclesed within the suns in. terfer. For every acre on the surface of our globe there are more than 10 00C acres on the surface of the great lum- mary. Every portion of this illimit- able desert of flame is pouring forth torrents of heat. It has, indeed, been estimated that if the heat which is in- cessantiy flowing through any single square foot of the suns exterior could be collected and applied beneath the boilers of an Atlantic liner, it would suffice to produce steam enough to sus- tain in continuous movement those en- zines of 30,000-horse power which en- able superb ship to break the record aetween Ireland and America.-Pear. sons Weekly.

yaela ot Cold in the Transvaal.

The latest published returns show Ing the yield of gold in the Transyaal are said in London to be eminently satisfactory to those persons financial ly interested in the Rand. The entire Transvaal yield in June was 467, ,271 ounces, or S19 ounces better than in the preceding month, the latter return be- Ing the previous beet on record. So far this year each monthly return since February has been over 100000 ounces better than the corresponding yield in 1898. In fact, up to date. the 1889 yield is scr2e 625.000 ounces above the showing the corresponding period in 1898. Here are the total yields of the Transvaal since 1894 when the records showed 2,024.159 ounces: In 1895, 2.277 7885 ounces; 1896, 2.2S0.SS5 ounces; 1897. 3,034.474 ounces. and 1898, 4,555.- 0oo ounces. London f1nanciers do not deem 1t possible that this extraordin- ary showing can be maintained throughout the year, owing to the dis turbed political situation and particu- larly to the fact that the exodus of labor from the Rand seems to be as- sunins serious proportions

Dean Stanley had great respect for presence of mind, and used with great delight 10 tell story of presence of mind by which he liberated himself from a dangerous visitor. Since he was willing to see almost any one who asked for him, he once told his servant to usher into his study gentleman who had called, and who happened to bear na4ae which was familiar to him. When the gentleman appeared he proved to be an entire stranger. It was evident there had been some mis- take, This became stil more evident when. advancing with an air of great excitement. the gentleman exelaimed: Sir, have a message to the queen from the Most High. beg that you deliver it instantly Tn that case" said the dean, taking up his hat, there is not moment to be lost.
