Superintendent Benjk1fn F. Egan,
OF the Kalispell division of the Great
Northern, and until few weeks ago
assistant superintendent of the Brock
enridge division, became lost in the
mountains of Montana q week ago
yesterday and at this writing no trace
OF his whereabouts has yet been found.
Mr.. Eean is we'll known in railroad
circles and his mysterious disappear
ance is generally regretted. During
his connection with the Breckenridge
division, he formed large acquaint-
ance with railroad people In this city,
who among others are manifestine
much anxiety for his safety.
Mr.. Egan was one of party of
three who were hunting in the noun
tains OF Montana. With him were DR..
Houston, the company physician, and
the Doctors brother, r. Houston, of
St. Paul. They left Kalispell in
Egan's private car for days hunt
Ing. At small station called Coram
the men left the car with instructions
that 1t be sent to- Bolton, where after
a tramp across the country they ex-
pected to meet. The hunters sepa-
rated and Egan failed to reach Bel
ton, and although his companions
searched until late into the night they
failed to find him.
Large hunting parties have been or
ganized and all efforts possible made
to find the missing man. On the day
OF his disappearance two fierce bliz.
yards swept the mountains and later
storms are reported. The dispatches
announce that the section in which
Egan is lost is one of the widest and
most heavily timbered tracts in Mon
tana, and without food or shelter it is
not believed he could have survived.
The cold has been Intense and Egan's
clothing was simple hunting garb.
What has befallen him is only a mat
ter OF conjecture and all sorts of theo-
r1es are advanced. The fruitless
search has been going on now for q
week, so it seems possible that he
must have perished. 49,
A reward of $500 from the Great
Northern company and also q similar
reward by the employees OF. the Breck-
enridge division are offered for the
finding of Mr.. Egan, which shows the
high esteem in which he is held and
also the deep intsresttor his recovery.

"IOM" NASI DEAD.

In the days when CariCatures meant
more than they do now, when they
were whole chapters in themselves, and
taught powerful lessons, the name of
"Tom" Mast was n household word
throughout this country. He was the
father of American caricaturc, and he
founded 1t upon a high plane, aiming
more to make his pictures agepcles for
good than to amuse and entertain.
"rom" Mast never made cartoon
against his conviction, and when his
imitators became legion, and he discov.
cred that TO compete with them meant
largely the surrender Of some of his
high ideals In the work, he retired from
the field, aud has remained lost to sight
for n number Of years About a year
ago he was assigned as United States
Consul General to GuayaQuil Ecuador,
at which post he died Sunday, Of vel.
low fever, and was buried that evening.
His most notable work as a cartoon.
Isl was while connected with the old
Ilarper's Weekly and during the fight
against the Tweed ring" His car.
tOOns, more than anything else, are cred,
tied with the breaking up of that mi,
quitous combination of boodlers and
the arrest Of the leader. Mast may also
be credited with the defeat OF Horace
Greeley for President, and It was he
who created the Republican elephant,
the Tammany tiger and tho Democratic
donkey, all OF which will doubtless live
as long as the organizations they carl
cature.
In the Akron Public library may he
seen a collection of Harper's weekics,
containing some Of Nast's most famous
ccrtoons. This collection is perused FIRE,
Gucntly by older citizens of Akron, who
remember well the events suggesting
the caricatures. Mast did much with
his cartoons during the war OF the Re,
bcllion, and his work was approved
and praised by President Lincoln.

5000 .CHOCTAWS TO MOVE.
The movement of the Louisiana
and Mississippi Choctaws to the
Indian territory begins this week.
1t Is now probable hat all of them,
to the number Of 5000, will leave
the southwest and move to the
Choctaw Nation to take up their
homes with their brethren, from
whom they parted " years ago.
When under the treaty Of Jump
ing Rabbit creek, made in 1880,
the Choctaws agreed to sell their
lands In Mississippi and move to
the Indian territory nearly 5000
refused to leave. They have re-
malned unchanged during these
seventy-odd years. They still speak
Choctaw and keep to themselves,
living In separate villages. Their
number has slowly but steadily
diminished, aud their condition
has materially deteriorated. They
have supported themselves mainly
by hunting, fishing and selling
herbs, and have lived of late in
great poverty and want"

touch with municipal affairs here, and

editorial, Dec. 6:
LAST MUSTER OF THE CHoC
TAWS.
The remnants of the once numer-
Gus and powerful Choctaw Indians
are soon to be reunited in the
Indian territory. Some 1900 of
the tribe will leave Mississippi and
Louisiana and take up their abode
with their brethren, from whom
they We're separated ~ years ago.
BY the treaty of Jumping Rabbit
creek in 1880 the Choctaws agreed
to sell their lands in Mississippi
aud move to the Indian territory.
A portion of the tribe refused to
leave their old homes and remained
In the land OF their fathers. They
still speak Choctaw and dwell by
themselves in their village COM
munities. Their number has
steadily diminished and their con-
dition has sadly deteriorated. They
have lived in poverty and distress,
supporting themselves mainly by
hunting and fishing"

SINGING THE BEAUTIFUL.

Shall a man have easy sailing
All his life?
Not fhe possess the failing
OF u wife
Who insists with earnest hustle
That he go abroad and hustle
Work with brain and heart and
muscle
In the strife;
For she'll tell him man is husky,
strong and big
Let him hustle!
Use his muscle!
Let him dig!
When he gets up in the morning
All aglow,
And all invitation scorning,.
Sees the snow,
With purity that's recent,
BY old Boreas with glee sent,
Cover steps with haste indecent.
Then you know,
He expects his wife will bob up with
the rig.
She's a blufrerl
Poor old dufferI-
Let him dig!
So he grabs the blamed old shovel
In his right,
And he hopes the sprites above'n
Note his plight;
For he rather hopes for pity
AS he huns his little ditty
"Oh that were in the city!
Foolish wight! ...'
And the elements provide him with a
wig.
He says BLOW it,"
Let him go it!
Let him dig!
See him walk in slippery places
AS he roots!
OF wet snow he shows the traces
On his boots.
Oh, his feet are cold to freezing;
And his nose-tust hear him sneez-
ing!
How he thinks-the thought is
pleasing
OF past toots!
Then a busy bee he'd rather be a pig.
Hear him below
Wicked fellow
Let him dig!
When he's only just begun it
Hear him tell
His wife, Il think I've done it
Pretty we'll"
But she looks the look that's
mournful
tof sarcasm she's born FUN
And she snifrs the sniff that's
scornful:
He says, ".------- Nell,
Eor your sneers l do not care a fig.
And joke like
This think Is

four and then the six, and you get 40;
then turn to the 46th Psalm and the
40th word from the beginning is

shakespear must have written the

Many accomplished dogs are known
and loved, says the New York
Sun. The Husking Dog Is only
a pup and won't be nine months old
until next Wednesday. The Hon. ia.
cob Diffenbaugh lives on the Stephens
farm on the banks of the Wabash, n
stream Of song. Mr.. Dlffenbaugh was
husking corn the other day. The pup
watched him with intelligent interest.
For full particulars see n Wabash dis.
patch to the Chicago Tribune:
Then the pup went in on his own
hook, tearing the husks from the ears
with more celebrity than the average
farmhand. He wasn't careful in piline
the corn and the husks, but he stripped
the husks clean. The next day he
followed Diffenbnugh and his man to
the field and did several hours Of eff.
cient work. The dog apparently was
delighted with his work" --
BY next spring the Wabash wonder
will be old enough to do general farm
work.
