\ strange tribe has just been discov-
'rpd in Burneo by DR.. \. W. Nieuwcn-
iu,s the distinguished Dutch explorer.
l., he was travelling through the dis
ret of Sarawal he heard from his
H;dcS that al little distance there
%aS a mountain tribe which no Gu-
rDpcan or American had ever visited.
and Straightway he went thither, and
n a day or two found himself at he
headquarters of these unknown abu-
regimes. At once he saw that they diff
fercd from all other natives of BOrneo,
and he spent some weeks in acquaint-
ing himself with their curious GUS
toms and also in studying their co.,
try, which is entirely unknown to l'-
eign travels. In this way he accurl r-
lated a mass of new material, which
he intends 10 give to the world at an
Early date in the form OF a book.
This is the second journey which pr
NicuwenhuiS has taken to central
Borneo. He first went there in 1895.
and explored the sources Of the Kap-
uas and Mahakkam rivers, after which
he returned 10 Europe, where he at
once obtained an appointment as di-
rector of the botanical garden al But
tenzorg. In 1899 he went again to
BorneO, intending to thoroughly ex-
plore the interior Of the country, and
il is claimed that in this task he has
succeeded better than any previous
traveller.

Tie Power of Religion.

The Monterey correspondent to
She Richmond Dispatch in recent
letter to that paper, relates an in
teresting bit Of history connected
with the life Of Henry Fleisher,
, whose widow, Mrs Nan Flesh ar,
dide few weeks ago. The part Of
the letter relating to it is as FOL-
lows:
Her husband" (Henry Fltisher)
was one Of the most eminently
pious men the country has ever pro-
duced, and in connection with his
religious life, a most interesting
fast is noted and frequently referr-
el to by those who remember him
we'll. During his bGyhOod and
early manhood he was afflicted
with epilepsy. the victim of convul-
sionS that were terrible to witness
and Of frequent occurrence. When
near middle age lie became Chris
tian, and, from the hour OF his con-
version, which occurred ia Meth
odist revival, he enjoyed absolute
immunity from this dread affection
and daring the remaining years Of
his life he apparently lived in con-
slant and Joyous communion with
the Great Physician.
The union Of this good couple
was without issue, but they were
the foster parents OF Mr Hezekiah
Middleton and Mrs benjamin Var
ner, who fall heir to tile old home
stead, in the beautiful CrabbottCm
Valley"

n aAWeti Gray.

Who wrote THE Silence Of Dean
Maitlaud' is the author Of the
complete novel entitled -Four
Leav, d Clover in the June "New
LippincOtt Maqasine. This is a
story Of English country life. The
heroine starts off by declaring that
she is incapable Of adopting o her
re piles raves" and size sticks to
this sentiment throughout. In fact
her o;aity to "a sweet and noble
gentleman" who is the beginning
and ending Of all Of her hopes and
affections leaves little time for
other enthusiaSmS. Not that Mar
cie Ludlow belongs to the sickly
sentimental sort Of young woman.
She is splendid type Of frank, ath-
letic English girl, with the added
charm of unexpectedness in all she
says ana does: and Maxwell Gray
has made her the center of very
alluring love-story. The luck of
the clover is sometimes almost lost
sight Of, but tradition wins the
day.

The Town Election.

Heretofore our municipal cleo
tiens have been so tame that the
Judges had to chase about and offer
prizes to get voters to come out,
but at the election last Saturday
they were interested and eager to
cast their ballots, so much SO that
the guardians Of the ballot box
were kept right busy for at least 30
minutes, while the bulk Of the vote
numbering 81, was being cast :.
They didn't have to bother with
voting booths and Australian bal
lots, so the crowd was handled very
nicely, but, We believe, while the
rush was at its heighth we did hear
judges say something about
dividing the town into wards be-
fore the next election.
Our citizens were so anxious to
vote they even elected Il sergeant,
relieving the new council from the
performance Of that duty. Mr. c
I Fleisher was unanimously re-
elected to this place, which he has

opening in the ridge and strikes the

gradual ascent that brings it around
the point in Vauderpool Gap on an

After rounding the point the course

quarantine case to the extent of the following Ieveheaded
observations and conclusions:
Mrs Carrie Nation has brought down her head a
heap trouble by course anarchy. After
destroying Wichita saloon mans furniture value
hundreds Of dollars, by smashing with stones she
committed prison She first refused allow bail
to be put for her release the meantime
Of smallpox occurred in the prison. which then put
under quarantine. When Mrs. Nation had made up her
petuant offer bail she could longer be released
but stay in jail during the days quarantine Habeas
corpus proceedings failed to effect her release.
This furious termagant has the open sympathy and
support Of two or three branches of socaed temperance
organizations The reason why these societies do make
progress and more converts is that they depend not
upon moral influence persuasion education upon
violent arrogant language and prepared to resort
violent deeds Of course the saloon keepers have
the right by defend their property from injury
by violence Mrs. Nation anybody else attacks it.
Laws cannot be enforced by Iawlessness If laws are
not enforced which should remedy with
