MEN AND DEER.

THE OPEN SEASON for deer, which
should properly be called the open
season for hunters, has closed in Wis
consin, Michigan and Minnesota. Dur
ing the few months in which it was
lawful to kill deer fourteen men were
accidentally killed by hunters and elev-
en- were seriously injured. 1t is ap-
parent that altogether too many men
who are unskilled in the use of fire
| arms or who are criminally careless, go
hunting in the states named.
Still the casualty record in Maine
and in the Adirondacks is hardly any
shorter Various methods of stopping
this slaughter have been suggested,
and some have actually been tried, but
without effect. To The Herald the
proper way seems clear. Let laws be
passed absolutely prohibiting the kill
ing of deer where such hunters gather.
Such action would end the killings
very promptly.
After all, there is no necessity for kill
ing the deer. The men who do the kill
ing do not need the animals for food
or for any other purpose. The hunters
and their friends would be infinitely
less dangerous to each other and to
themselves if they were prohibited
from carrying anything into the woods
except cameras and fishing rods

HIS ENEMIES HELPING.
81 Panl Glnhel

NSt. Eau1 NIlODS.J
Those who have united for the pur-
pose Of opposing the election to the
United States senate of Mr.. Reed
Smoot of Salt Lake City have shown
their hand too clearly. Their campaign
thus far has breathed the air of evan
gelism. Their religious feelings, rather
than their political principles, or
their rights or interests as citizens,
have plainly been assailed. Brother
Smoot is apparently considerable Of a
person in the Mormon church. That
appears to be the beginning and end of
the complaint made against him. 1t is
the ground, and the only one, upon
which his opponents stand in their de-
termination to exclude him from the
senate.
There is no serious insistence that
Mr.. SmoOt is a polygamist. Nobody
says that he has a surplusage of mar
ital companions, as his brother Roberts
had, but he is apparently none the
less good Mormon if we are to ac-
cept as conclusive on the subject the
statements which his religious and po-
litical enemies have made.
1t does not cut very much figure in
the mind OF the ordinary American
church member whether Brother
Smoot will work for the Mormon
church or any other church, or any
church at all, if he goes to the senate.
He has a right to do any or all of those
things in that event. The state in it's
selection Of senators is not called upon
to distinguish on the score of his re-
ligiOn, and the American constitution
in its first amendment very distinctly
takes ground against Brother Shoots
enemies.
1t is hard to see, under all the cir
cumstances, what the Utah religious
brethren are making so much fuss
about. They have not shown a single
reason why SmoOt would not make a
good United States senator, and they
have stated a few which would justify
his selection. 1t is quite evident that
their religious zeal has outrun their
political discretion, and that unless
they change their tack they are likely
to render it necessary for the members
of the Utah legislature to elect Mr.
Smoot as United States senator for
the vindication of his recognized con-
stitutional rights.

GENERAL DEwET's BOOK.

( GENERAL DEWETS BOOK on the
" South African war, which has just
been issued, seems to have been writ
ten as a sort of safety valve for feel
ings which could no longer be sup
pressed. The Boer leader is extremely
sparing of kind words for everybody
connected with that long struggle, al
though he accords no small part of
his space to mis- own exploits. How
ever, he credits the Almighty with
most of his escapes from British traps.
The feature of the book which will
attract most attention is General De-
vets charges of treachery among his
own forces. Had the Beers remained
true to their cause, he says, they must
have been victorious. This is news,
indeed. Most of US had been led to
believe that the Beers were intensely
loyal, that they spared no personal
risks or sacrifices to win.
If it is true, as their commander
charges, that they were disloyaI and
traitorous. they deserved to lose. 1t is
probable. though, that Dewet takes too
narrow a view OF the situation. An
answering partisan himself, firm
believer in a special providence, he ex-
pected too much Of his worn and weary
soldiers. Certainly they have never
been criticised by the unprecedented ma
tions of the world. that looked with
an admiration approaching awe upon
their three years struggle for free
dom.
General Dewet's criticisms will not
be kindly received at this time. They
can serve no good purpose whatever.
1t would have been better if the words
Of deaanciation had been left unwrit-
ten. The Beers have a lot of hard
work before them in the reconstruc-
ton of their shattered homes and the
rebuilding of their ruined country. The
task should not be hampered now by
recriminations from one who should
help them to build as Loyalty as he
helped them to defend.

SOME cURIosfTTEs OF p1voRcE.
According to Official Figures 80, 600
More Divorced Women Than Men.
New York SUM-

There are 80, 600 more divorced women
than there are divorced men in the
United States, the official figures being
$4,000 divorced men and ia 900 divorced
women. The disparity IS accounted for
by the fact that men procuring divorces
or from whom divorces have been pro-
cured more often remarry than the
women under like conditions.
The number of divorced men is larg-
est in Indiana, which has 500. There
are more than 1900 each in California.
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, New York and
Pennsylvania. Texas has $500 and
Massachusetts, $500.
South Carolina, the only state which
has no law authorizing or permitting
divorces. has 275 divorced men among
its residents, and South Dakota, a state
which has become noted by reason of
the facility with which divorce is
granted, has 563.
New Jersey has, proportionately, q
very small number, $50, and Kansas. a
much smaller state in population, a
much larger number, 2.165.
In Utah, where plural marriages were
the rule among the Mormons until re-
cent years, the number of divorced per
sons is 1876, little below the average.
and Idaho, with about half the popula-
ton Of Utah, and considerable pro-
portion of Mormons, has 460.
The state in which there is the largest
number of divorced women divorced
and not remarrieD is Ohio, with 200;
Illinois has 1900 and Texas $500.
After Texas comes New York and
then Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan,
Missouri, massachusetts, and Califor-
MIA. All these have more than 1000
each.
In some of the southern states, Ala
bama. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi North Carolina and Ten
nessee among them, the number of d.
vorced women is twice as large as the
number of divorced men.
In Alaska there are more divorced
women than divorced men; in Hawaii
there are more divorced men than di-
YOrced women.
Indiana, with a population 800, 600 less
than Massachusetts, has IL, 600 divorced
persons, and Massachusetts has 5000.

is that of Deuteronomy. which disap-

THE ARKANsAs CHILL.
A Distinctive Phenomenon-Its Pc
cuIiarities.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans TimeS-Dem0crat.)
THE Arkansas chill is distinctive"
said a man from the swampy region
OF that state, land 1 am sure there is
nothing like it in any other state or in
any other region of the world. 1 have
seen a good many different types of
chills, in my wandering over the coun-
try, but l. do not hesitate to make the
claim that the Arkansas product is in
a class by itself. There is the chill,
for instance, which is peculiar to the
Ohio valley, and if you will take my
word for it it is no easy thing on 0ne's
system. There is a chill peculiar to
the sWampy regions of west Tennes-
see, which consists of a series of lazy
yawns, a feeling of sluggishness and
little fever. 1t is sort of dumb chill.
But for the genuine chill, the arti-
Gle that viii shake you until your
joints pop, you want to cross the river
and go over into Arkansas There you
will ind the peculiar brand L had in
mind when / began this story. Tt
seems to be indigenous to the soil, and,
somehow, the people get used to them.
L have seen man have as many as
two chills a day, one in the morning
and one in the evening. I have seen
men have everyday chills and third
day chills and chills every nine days.
l have seen men engaged in farming
in the st. Frnacis basin shake until
they would almost Jar the mud CHM
neys down at the end of the shack.
They would simply shake the whole
house, and you could hear their teeth
rattle hundred yards from the house
l heard man say q few years ago,
and he had lived in that section a good
long time, that three-fOurthS of the
crop of red pepper was consumed every
year in an effort to keep the chills off.
They are great believers in red pepper
as a remedy for chiIls OF course, 1
am not vouching for this red pepper
statement, although I know personally
that the citizens of the section use it
great deal in an effort to break the
chills. How much of the crop they
use L do not know, but from what I
know about the annual crop of chills
l should say they used a considerable
amount of pepper. Quinine is also used
IN the sections which are able to sup
port physicians, but red pepper is the
remedy in the out-of-the-way places.
speaking of chillS, when was up
in that section of the country I used
to get a fendish sort of satisfaction
out of seeing a frog have a chill. I
have seen a frog shake for an hour
some sunny place blink his eyes and
blow When he would quit shaking he
would make a break for the water, and
l knew then that his pulse was beating
faster and the fever was coming on.
On, yes; I've seen frogs shake with the
Arkansas type of chills until you could
imagine you heard their teeth clatter-
Ing. All of which goes to show what
said in the beginning, and that is that
the Arkansas chill is peculiar, distinct
i've, unique in all respects"

the PRICE OF SILVER.

THE NEWS OF THE REACTION in
1 the price of silver and its pro-
nounced upward tendency in the last
few days viii be a source of encour-
agement to the silver miners of Utah.
For a few days it looked as if the
bottom of the market was unfindable-
The bear gamblers in silver had every
thing their own way and they pounded
it down as they pleased.
OF the various causes assigned for
the slump none seems entirely salts
factory. The reason that naturally oc-
Cured to those interested was the SELL
ing of silver by China in order to Sc
cure the gold with which to pay the
first installment of the indemnity which
is to be received by the powers The
total indemnity amounts to 100000 900
taels or about 1898. 100000.
BY agreement this money is to be
paid in three equal installments, the
first, of Sill, 900, 600, being due Jan. 1,
1903. For some months China has been
or the selling side of the silver market,
and this has undoubtedly had a ma
teriai effect On the situation. Added
to this, Indie has not been supporting
the market as it would under ordinary
circumstances.
Some writer's have been inclined to
attribute at least a portion Of the de-
cline to an increased production of sill
YER Now, the figures for 1902 are not
at hand but it is certain that the in
creased production of silver has not
been sufficient to cause any slump in
the market. It is a well known fact
that many western mines which, when
silver was above so cents, produced
large quantities of the metal have
lcng been idle. If they could not work
eft a profit above so cents it is apparent
shat they could not be operated when
silver is 10 cents lower. than that fig
ure.
We believe there is not much more
soundness in the increased production
argument than there was in TIE alb
surd story. started by the bears some
time ago, that Mexico was about to
be placed on a gold standard basis.
That last story was a pure fabrica-
ton, as subsequent developments have
proved. But no matter what the cause,
the fact remains that Utah's silver
miners have had and are now having
ample cause for uneasiness.
The state Of the public mind is re-
nected in the cratic movements of
stocks in mines which are largely sill
yer propositions. When such a stock
as Daly-West, for instance, registers
quotations covering d range of $40 be-
tween the highest and lowest points
within a few days time, it is apparent
that the public is exercised.
