Secretary Long decided to comply with
Admiral Schley's request without consul
tation with any one and without COM
municating the request of the admiral to
the president. He then called into his
Office Rear Admiral Crowninshield and
Captain Cowles, chief and assistant chief.
respectively, of the bureau of navigation.
and also Judge Advocate General Lemley.
who has charge of formalities of naval
courts. He also sent for Admiral Dewey.
Although Rear Admiral Schley did not
ask specifically for court Of inquiry. but
left the action to be taken to the iudg-
ment of the department, the secretary de-
cided that such court would be the best
means of making the investigation which
the rear admiral had requested, and the
three bureau officers were called in for
the purpose of discussing the mode of
procedure in such cases. After his con-
ference with Admiral Dewey, who had re-
sponded Immediately to the secretarys re-
quest for an interview, the secretary said
that he had not had time to decide upon
the composition of the court, but in re-
sponse to d question as to whether Ad-
miral Dewey will serve upon such a court,
If requested to do SO, the secretary said:
"Amiral Dewey will do his duty
Although no positive declaration has
been given on this point, it is assumed
about the navy department that Admiral
Dewey will be president of the court
which will inquire into the whole contro-
versy concerning Admiral Schley's action
during the Spanish war There also is an
impression that the two other members OF
the court will be retired naval officers, or,
at least, officers who had no connection
with the Santiago campaign.
Double Advantage.
The selection of retired officers will
have double advantage Not only will
they. be free from any prejudice growing
out Of their active connection with the
department, but they will have no fear

Ths Travels Of m DyeliA.

The MAN. thousands Of miles which
a man unconsciously travels III his life
time, taking into consideration the
PAGES his footsteps measure as he
walks about each day, r enough to
make him sit down to rest for the re-
mainder of his life.
But now a German scientist has
come forward with some still more
startling facts concerning the journeys
which our eyelid undertakes every
time it winks, and it is not possible for
us to see, he says, unless we wink.
Unconsciously we wink once a second,
so that for the time we are awake dur.
ing the day we voluntarily wink from
48,6OO to $4,000 times. and in a year
have moved our eyelids down and up
again no less than 18,250,000 times.
The distance that the eyelid travels in
its great speed is measured from a sin
gle involuntary wink.
This, the scientist says, is a quarter
of an inch both ways, the eyelid o
ing equally up and down, SO that, TAX
ing the movement of both eyelids into
consideration, they cover some $4,000
inches in a day. The eyelids Of a man
who has lived for SO years will have
unconsciously travelled q third of the
way around the earth, or about 1900
miles, q calculation sufficient in itself
to cause the victim Of insomnia to fall
into. q dreamless sleep as he reads it,

How Britannia Roles Sea With Subsidy.

How Britannia Roles Sea With Subsidy.
Apropos the subsidy question, interest.
ing information has been brought to light;
Great Britain has paid in postal subsidies
to British ships the enormous amount Of
s2~4o,ooo,ooo during the past sixty years.
During the year l8o7-the last official
record-Great Britain paid British ships
s3,854,7I5 for carrying her mails abroad,
which was S~3,27o,375 more than the Brit
ish government received for sea postage
on those mails. This disposes of the as
s%ertion, frequently made. that Great
Britain does not subsidize her shipping,
but that her payments for mail carriage
was purely a matter of business. Great
Britain will not send her mails abroad by
foreign ships, unlessthe writer's distinctly
specify on the envelopes that they desire
their mails carried by other than British
ships. A contract was once let to the
North German Lloyd steamship Com
pany, by the British government, for the
carriage of British mails from Southamp-
ton to New York, at a rate about ne-half
of what Great Britain was then paying to
the Cunard and White Star lines. But
the opposition to this policy was so strong
that the British government was forced
to cancel the contract.-The National
Magazine for February,

Faithful Shepherd DOES.

A cold spell in Montana killed q
sheep herder in the Great Falls dis
trict. Two feet of snow covered the
range in places, and the thermometer
indicated 40 degrees below zero.
The herder was frozen to death on
the prairies while caring for the sheep,
and 1t vas three days before his fate
was known to his employers. Two
shepherd dogs were with him when he
died, and M Of these staid with his
body while the other attended to the
sheep, just as though the herder had
been with him. The dog drove them
out on the range in the morning and
back again at night, guarding them
from wolves and preventing them from
straying of. Neither dog had any
thing to eat during the three days
vigil, SO far as could be ascertained,
but the $500 sheep thrived as well ap-
parently as though directed by human
agency. The singular fact about the
matter is that these faithful creatures
would have starved to death rather
than harm one of the sheep left in
their charge.-Portland Oregonian

won by Dead Man.

A valuable cup was won in a bi.
cycle race in Australia by a man who
was dead when he passed the winning
post. The ace took place at an "elec.
trio light carnival" SO called, in the
presence Of 10000 spectators. In the
last lap James Somerville, q rider,
forged to the front and secured such q
lead that his victory was assured.
When within Is yards Of the finish
he was to relax his hold on the
handle bars and lose his footing on the
pedals. He did not fall from the ma.
chine, however, and amid frantic
cheers dashed by the goal, winning
the rae by half a wheel. AS he pass.
ed the finishing post he pitched for
ward and fell to the ground.
When he was picked up he was
found to be dead, and, what is more,
the doctors declared that death had
come to him when he was seen to lose
his hold on the handle bars. It was q
dead body that had ridden. the last %
yards Of the race.

Education in Porto Rico.

The expense of maintaining schools in
Porto Rico is very high, if we consider
the amount spent for the small number
of pupils enrolled; but as that country is
gradually brought in closer touch with
our own, their system will evidently be
changed, until it reaches u present state
of perfection. In this country the peo-
pie are being educated to the fact, that
there is a sure cure for dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, constipation, liver and kidney
troubles, and that medicine is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t should be taken at
the very first symptom, if you would
avoid unnecessary suffering. 1t will
give prompt relief and eventually cure,
as hundreds of people, including many
prominent physicians, have testified DUR
ing the past fifty years.

Bill Will Pass.

The uniform teachers examination
bill will get through this session and
after its passage all teachers will have to
take the regular state examination and
submit to marking Of papers by the state
department. The educators OF the state
are for the bill and it has passed the
lower house and been iavorably reported
by the senate; it is practically assured Of
passage. 1t will lead to a better grade of
teachers, and under the provisions of the
law a teacher with a certificate can teach
in any county in the state without an ex-

MckENZIE'S NINE
Troubles Are at an End According to Re-
cent Dispatches.

Much has been said pro and con dur
ing the last few months regarding the
Mckenzie troubles over the Cape Nome
mining properties, and we give below the
Washington dispatches concerning the
matter:
Washington, Feb. 2.-Reports from
San Francisco say that the contempt
proceedings against Alexander McKen-
zie we're dropped yesterday along with
all the other disputes. The score has
been wiped off the slate on each side and
everything is where it was before the
trouble began. The initiative in the mat
ter of settlement was taken by the in.
terests opposing Noyes and Mckenzie.
After the contempt cases against Nc
Kenzie which were called for trial ian.
20, had been on for a few days the de.
tense made the point that the San Fran
cisco cour had no jurisdiction for the
ings had been filed with the court at
Cape Nome. Decisions showing the
the supreme court of the United States
to be in harmony with such a position
were cited, and the Lane syndicate was
decidedly up against the real thing.
The syndicate has been trying to put
Mckenzie in Jail, and had staked every
thing on winning.
The coup sprung by the Mckenzie at
torneys was on the point of throwing the
contempt cases out of court. The min
ing SEASON. would come on and none of the
men prominent in the opposition to Nc
Kenzie and Judge Moves would dare to
60 back to Nome, where they have large
interests, for Judge Moves would prompt
ly put them in jail, all of them being in
contempt of court.
AS a last resort the syndicate on We'd
nesday went to Mckenzie attorneys and
expressed a desire to compromise.
After some deliberation they agreed
to drop the proceedings in all their var
ious phases and accept the ruling of
Noyes without any further question.
Mckenzie, after some hours of delay, &C.
cepted the offer, and both sides then
went into court and the motion to dis
miss was made by agreement.
This sudden and unexpected turn of
affairs put Moves and Mckenzie on top
of the heap and in possession of every
point for which they commended. The
Lone syndicate proposed the settlement
because there was absolutely nothing
else to do. :,
San Francisco, Feb. 4.-The course of
the circuit court of appeals in the con-
tempt cases against Mckenzie and Du-
bose was not affected by the recent set
Element, since it was not completed un-
til after all the evidence in these matters
had been presented. Having been in
formed of the settlement. Judge Rose of
the United States circuit court of appeals
has announced that he will decide the
contempt cases soon. 1t is estimated
that over 100000 has been expended
for expenses in the various legal contests
which have now been ended.

state-craft; the story Of the life of Vic
toria, queen and empress, is the story of
England for sixty-four years. Her
career vas SO closely allied with that Of

IT is said that the Hebron
creamery sold over $4,000 worth
of butter from April until the first
of January. This is a good show
ing and should stimulate the farm
ers and merchants all along the
line to take up the matter of es-
tablishing creameries wherever
there are cows enough to warrant
such an enterprise. Dickinson,
for instance, is and has been for
the past ten years buying cream
cry butter from Hebron, New
Salem and points in Minnesota
and paying good round prices.
The New Salem butter seems to
have the greatest demand of any
butter manufactured along the
line of the Northern Pacific road;
it is even better than the creamery
butter which our merchants get
from Minnesota and sells readily
at from IS to IS cents per pound,
the price varying according to the
season of the year. But there is
no reason why Stark county peo-
pie should not have creamery
plants of their own, and there is
no reason why our people should
not make just as good an article
of butter as the people Of Morton
county. Richardton and Taylor
are completing creamery plants
which will be running early in the
spring. and there is a field for
more. Like any other enterprise,
creameries. in order to be success
full. must be organized and run on
business principles.

Break Beam Rider Broke A Leg.

\ man who was stealing ride on the
limited last Saturday between North
Yakima and this point, came to grief
about ten miles this side of the former
place, when he let his foot drop to the
road bed while the train was running at
a high rate of speed. The bone between
the ankle and knee snapped like glass,
but with wonderful nerve and presence
OF mind the man grabbed up the foot
with one hand, while with the other
he held on to the break beam. In
this condition he chung on for dis
tance of twenty miles and when the
train stopped here he cried out for help
and at once received attention. He was
quickly taken to Moore's lodging house
where the fracture, very bad one, was
attended to- His injury was a bad one,
but he is improving and his leg may be
saved. He gave his name as Bert
misunderstanding Capital.
