We are hearing these days of
protracted congressional contests
for party nominations. The DEM
ocratic convention at Cleburne,
Tex has just made a nomination
after 1900 ballots. Two of the
candidates, Riddle and Gillespie,
then agreed to join their forces,
drawing cuts for the man who
should receive their joint votes.
Gillespie was the lucky man and
he was nominated on the 7,201st
ballot. Poindexter, the third man,
was not in the deal and did not like
being gambled out by his rivals,
but he acquiesced at length and all
was lovely.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.

went over to court to see how they put

NOT USED TO SMOKING.
Patient Follows Doctors Directions

determined TO consult doctor, relates Lon

The latter, after a most minute exam
nation, pronounced the patient to be suf

prescribed for him accordingly. He was
very particular in giving full directions as
to diet
A light breakfast-cup of cocoa, dried
toast, and other simple fare; plain dinner
chop, no potatoes, glass of claret; and
only one cigar per day. He was most care
ful to impress the fact upon the patient 3
mind that the one cigar should never be ex-
ceeded.
The patient went away and returned in
week worse than ever. The doctor was
nonplussed.
Upon inquiries he found that the man
had most faithfully carried out all his in
structions to the letter.
II know what it is replied the man of
medicine. you've had more than one
cigar day. It's the smoking that's done

IN FEAR OF WHITECAPS.
Twenty Five Lewd Women Fled from

Hands of Determined Men.

fear of threats made by white caps
Is inmates of houses of ill repute
fed from this city during the night
to escape severe punishment at the
hands of large body of determined
men that were dressed in regulation
whitecap style, heavily armed with
guns and supplied with large guam
titles of tar and feathers. Early
yesterday morning the whitecaps,
some of them leading citizens, Wis
tied all the resorts and notified the
inmates to leave the town by sun
down. In the dead of night the mob
was preparing to return when the
inmates fed, many of them walking
to Joplin, distance of seven miles.
The movement was caused by the
murder of Chief Rich and Joe Gideon,
one of his assistants, in a resort here
last Saturday night.

CROSSED OCEAN IN LAUNCH.
Capt Newman and Son, After . Hard Ex.
perience. Voyaged 3.1O3 Miles Between
New York and Falmouth.

Falmouth, Eng, Aug. 16.-Capt.
Newman and his son Edward have ar
rived here in the 38-foot kerosene
launch Abel Abbott Low, in which
they sailed from New York July 9.
Capt. Newman said: ''The launch has
proved herself noble boat, but we
experienced awful times after we
left New York. Several times, in ter
rible gales, we nearly lost our drag
anchor owing to the gear chatting
away. We voyaged 3,1O3 miles. We
had great trouble with the kerosene
because the tanks which held it broke
and the oil flooded the cabin. My
boy became ill and homesick. I suf-
fered greatly from exposure and long
sitting in one position"
The voyagers rarely used the sail
on the launch. Capt. Newman lost
80 pounds in weight on the trip, but
his son seems to have derived bene-
fit from the experience.

deer and foxes, whales, seals and sal
mon supplying their wants. There are
some domesticated creatures; many
dogs, cows, sheep, oxen, goats and
pigs.
In summer, inland valleys and noun
tainside are clothed in living green;
moss-green, green of grass, and leaf
of shrub. Flowers blaze among the
gray rocks; old acquaintance, prim-
roses, buttercups and dandeions.
Beautiful colors play about the ice
cap, but, of course, it is devoid of life.
Intrepid explorers have given it a
fieeting glimpse of humanity. Peary

and Nansen marched clear across the

spoken of as continent).

ture. The glittering mountains rise
sheer from the fiords to height Of
1000, 5000 and 5000 feet, glaciers upon
their sides. Out of the fiords pass to
the sea majestic icebergs. But all is
not frozen white in this north1and,
there is a perfect riot of color when
the midnight sun works his alchemy.
Since for two-thirds of the year
Greenland is engirdled in ice, one
would think she would be glad indeed
to welcome travellers to her shores in
stead of making it difficult for them to
step foot thereon. But Greenland has
the reputation of inhospitable shores

auth orities not allowing ships to make
a landing without a permit from them,
with the exception of whalers, their
own government steamers, American
vessels engaged in the kryolite trade,
exploring parties, or vessels in dis
tress. Consequently, the tourist does
not find it an easy matter to inspect
Greenland. The Danes use these
measures to protect their wards, the
Eskimos, over whom they are kindly
rulers, much interested in the welfare
of those in their charge. The Eskimos
repay their kindness in kind, are gen.
tie and docile. Crime is almost I'M
known. They attend churches and
schools, and have a considerable de-
gree of civilization.
Some coal is mined in Greenland,
and the quarrying of kryolite, which
stone is valuable for the alum and
soda into which it is TRANSFORMED, is
considerable industry; but the eX-
tensive industries of Greenland are
the whale and seal fisheries.
The natives cruise among the fiords
in boats made of skins. The sealskins
are stretched on a frame 16 to 20 feet
long, and feet wide, having only
one narrow opening, into which, the
native crawls wrapped in a cloak that
is sewed to the boat. With his double
paddle he can make so miles day in
this boat. Another kind of boat, also
made of skins, a t1at-bottomed one, is
usually propelled by women.
The old native houses were built of
stone, boards and turf, where neither
light nor air could enter: On the east
sist of one house, in which will herd
sometimes half a, hundred persons, the
conditions of these novels is some
thing indescribably dreadful. Since
the Danes have set the example of bet
ter housing, and the use of glass win
dows, many of the natives are follow
ing the fashion. The governors sent
out by Denmark are men of culture,
and, of course, their standard of hv-
ing has its effect. Both sexes dress
very much alike, although the differ
entiated European dress is making
Roadway among the Eskimos. Their
own costume is well adapted to the
rigors of their long cold; sealskin
panta1oons, close jacket and hood, and
big boots.
Protestant missionaries have la
bored with zeal IN Greenland, and ale
most all the Eskimos are Protestants.
In 1894 the Moravian Brothers entered
this desolate field, and found the ma
tives very submissive.
Though officially the whole of Green
land belongs to Denmark, the actual
Danish territory is the inhabited part
of the west coast. There are two
governors for South and North
Greenland, and commercial agents in
all the stations along the seaboard.
The Moravian missionaries also have
considerable influence. AS to COM
rce-"Greenland trade is an abso-
lutte monopoly of the Danish govern
ment, which maintains along the coast
some 60 factories where European
wares are given in exchange for such
local produce as sealskins and train
oil, eiderdown feathers, walrus ivory,
fox. bear and reindeer peltry."

north. The coast is deeply indented
with fiords, the interior is a plateau
covered with an ice-cap. Greenland's
highest mountain rises to the height
of 10000 feet. The island has an es-
timated area of $4,000 square miles,
and a population of not much more
than 10000.
Most of the settlements are on the
west shore, between latitude 60 de-
grees and 70 degrees, thousand miles
from the frozen Greenland of our mag
nation, the Greenland that our early
explorers made known to us. The
folks at these settlements are Eskimos,
Danes and half-breeds. The interior
of the country is uninhabited; is given
over to ice, not surface ice, but ice
thousands of feet thick.
In summer the temperature at the
settlement is quite high, averaging 65
degrees, and not often falling below so
degrees. The inhabitants, who do not
discard their thick garments, at mid
