BOlLlNG
WOLVES.
upon the cage This boIdness abled
us to shoot them with great certainty.
The ground about the cage was soon
literally covered with dead wolves, but
still they came on. Wherever it seem
ed that we had finished them a fresh
contingent appeared.
ut now became necessary to econo-
mize our ammunition. My uncle gave
the order to throw boiling water on the
wolves by means of the hose and the
pump plunged into the kettle. The eff
feet was fearful. Horribly burned. the
wolves that we hit gave out cries of
distress and rolled in the snow. AS fast
as the kettle was emptied we threw
into it more ice.
"a general retreat now took place,
and the wolves that were able to run
or drag themselves away dispersed,
and some bands even that we noticed
coming from afar turned on their
tracks when they met their fellows in
distress.
1--WE killed with blows of clubs the
wounded wolves that lay in our neigh
borhood and then counted the dead.
SiXty-eight of the brutes lay on the
ground. The number of fugitives was
at least hundred, of which a quarter
must have been grievously wounded or

Sitter and the Men Behind It.

A Herald representative found
time Wednesday to enjoy an over
land journey to Sitter, and while at
the fourishing little village inter
viewed a majority of it's business
people. 1
The Bergheger brothers, Ed and
Adolph, now in active management
of the pioneer mercantile establish
ment known by this familiar name,
are leading opponents in the general
business line, and are maintaining
the enviable reputation the establish
ment has always possessed for fair
and square dealing. TheirI store is
filed from basement to attic with a
fine stock of goods, comparing. IN
quality, variety and extent with
large stores in larger places. The
time will come when their extensive
trade will necessitate the erection OF
a new and more cOmmOdiOns store.
Strict commercial integrity and
correct business methods have been
instrumental in building up this in
stitution. until now it is one OF the
popular trading places in the county,
and will continue to be so under the
present management.
Handling nothing but first-class
goods and being strictly upright in
all their dealing, it is only in the
nature Of things that the firm OF
Schuppener & Smith should pros
per and visit to their store will
convincel one of the fact that an ex-
cellent patronage is enjoyed. Their
stock includes dry goods, groceries,
provisions and also a line OF fresh
and salt meats, etc. The store is
under the active supervision OF
Oscar Smith, an industrious, pains
taking young man of winning per-
sOnality.
One of the most progressive busl-
ness men in Sitter is f. FL. Schup-
pener, the affable Northwestern
agent. The interests of the railroad
company are but a side issue how
ever to the extensive operations he
carries on in the village. Besides
experimenting the management OF
a hardware store, Mr.. Schuppener
controls the implement trade OF the
place and recently completed a
large structure that is devoted en-
tirely to this line of business. He
handles wagons, buggies and farm
machinery of every character and
is successful in his dealings. In one
department of his large emporium
you will find Fred Pfeifer, formerly
of Lancaster, who is in charge of a
harness shop Mr.. Schuppener re-
Gently added to his extensive inter
ests. Fred is good workman and
is kept busy at all times.
DR.. N. L. Bailey looks after the
health of the people Of Sitter and
vicinity in most competent man
ner. His practice entepds beyond
the bounds of the village and his
genial, affable manner makes him
popular among the masses.
DIR. j. F. Mauer makes weekly
visits to his native village
as dentist. His work is we'll re-
commended and the residents of the
town are to be congratulated in
having the benefit of his efficient
serAices.
T. B. Sherman is Uucle Sans
representative and also has a we'll
patronized furniture store. He
carries an extensive line of furnish
ings for the home and as a side line
looks after the disposition of those
who failed to call in DR.. Bailey soon
enough. Mrs. Sherman assists him
in the postoffice.
The Lancaster Lumber company
recently came into possession of the
lumber yard at Sitter and Frank

Hard Working Beavers.

Foxes are plentiful in Maine. but
the otter and fine fur-bearing animals
are growing scarce. owing to many
hunters. eavers by the hundred are
seen in the northern counties. 1t fact,
so great has been the gain of these
animals that they have become a
source of great danger to timber lands.
By the building of their dams they are
flooding large tracts of the best tim
Der, spelling the trees. The law pro-
tects them, but as soon as it's term of
years expires a delegation of lumber
owners intend to ask that it may not
be renewed.,-ChicagC Post.
The Jews have a greater number Of
religious papers, proportionately, than
any Christian denomination, and their
papers are the best supported.

GREELY SAILS
ON CkBLESHIP
Burnside Leaves Seattle
Bound for Alas kan
Ports.
Will Proceed to Juneau and
Make Connection First
With Sitka.

SEATTLE, Sept. 16.-The United States
cableship Burnside sailed for the north
last night to continue the work of laying
the cable from the head of Lynn canal, by
way of Sitka, the capital of Alaska, to this
city. She has a stretch of 600 miles of
cable aboard, which was transferred from
the steamship Texan, which brought the
cable around the Horn from New York.
On board the Burnside when she sailed
were General A. w. Greedy, chief signal
officer Of the United States army; Col
onel James Allen of the signal corps, un-
der whose general supervision the line
will be laid; Captain Edgar Russell and
Captain George o. Burnell of the signal
corps; Henry Winter, cable engineer;
Lieutenant Charles P F. Chandler of the
quartermaster's department. Captain A.
ii. Latin is In command of the vessel.
The Burnside proceeds direct to Juneau,
where, after making a shore line connec-
tion, she will leave for Sitka, paying out
about 250 miles between the two towns,
and continuing south from the capital By
open ocean as far as the cable rope will
reach, possibly to a point of Queen Char
lotte<Island.
1t is expected that the entire consign-
ment of cable on the Burnside will be laid
and the vessel be back in this port for the
final link by October Is.

PANAMA PEOPLE
READY To FIGHT
Resent Action Of Con-
gress in Matter Of
the Canal.
Are Holding Secret Nee ings
TO Plan independence
Campaign

According to the officers of the
steamships Colon and City Of sgd
ney. the people OF Panama are
ripe for secession from Colombia.
and unless the Congress OF the South
American republic takes some early and
satisfactory action in the matter Of the
Panama canal nothing can prevent
break for Independence on the part OF
the people OF the isthmus. The Colon
arrived from Panama a week ago, but
her officers. crew and passengers were
detained at Angel Island until Tuesday
evening. The City OF Sydney arrived yes
terday and after a short detention in
quarantine was allowed TO proceed to her
dock.
The people Of the isthmus, say the
steamship officers, have long nursed
grievances against the Colombian Gov
ernment- From the isthmus the republic
draws its principal revenues, but for no
part Of Colombia do the ruling powers
do less. Contact with the outside world
has infected those Colombians located at
Colon and Panama with up-to-date ideas.
They realize, for instance, that the IN
healthfulness of their cities is due to lack
Of drainage and improper sanitary ar
rangements. They realize that the prev
alence Of fever is a serious handicap.
They have learned the remedy. but all
appeals 10 the Government for appropria-
tions have fallen on ears that needed not.
Even the funds TO secure the cutting of
the brush in the immediate vicinity of
Panama were refused. In the completion
Of the Panama canal the people of the
isthmus saw way to a better state of
affairs and when the Colombian Congress
refused TO ratify the treaty the people
Of Panama were aroused to indignation
When the City Of Sydney sailed secret
meetings were being held all over Panama
for the purpose Of discussing ways and
mea z 4 II securing the independence of
the istnnus. The meetings were secret
for n reason that open expressions of
opinion are dangerous in that part Of
the world where Government spies and
military prisons are fiourishing institu-
tions.
Unless some action toward settling the
canal question is taken soon. however
men in a position TO judge say that revo-
luton viii once more stir the republic
The strongest supporters of the Panama
canal are the young business men of the
isthmus, and they are said 10 have a
following strong enough to warrant the
faith in their ability to bring Colombia
10 terms by strength Of arms.

SCHOONER ANDY MAHoNEY
REACHES PORT SAFELY
Arrives at Seattle Minus Jibstay, but
With Crew Well and Cargo
Tntact

ASTORIA, Or. Sept. 16.-The American
schooner Andy Mahoney, fears for the
safety of which were entertained at San
Francisco. reached port to-day from San
ia Rosalia with a partial cargo of salt.
The Mahoney was short of provisions,
but the Gaelic, from San Francisco, sup
piled her with some fresh meat, eggs,
etc, and she was amply supplied during
the remainder of the voyage. Last Sat
urday's gale was encountered and the
jib stay was carried away, but no other
accident occurred during the passage.
The failure of the Mahoney to arrive in
better time was due to the fouling of her
bottom in the tropics. All the members
of the crew. as we'll as Captain Anderson,
his wife and two children, are in excel
lent health.
The great log raft was towed to sea
this morning for San Francisco. The
steamer Francis H. Leggett is taking the
monster boom down the coast. The raft
in 735 feet in length and contains almost
100000 feet of telegraph poles and piling.
The Leggett has a cargo of more than
1,O00, 900 feet of lumber.

JURY WILL DECIDE UPON
MRS. FITZGIBBoNS' SANITY
She Is Waiting Trial in Judge Cooks
Court for Assault to
Murder.

A jury was impaneled in Judge Cook S
court yesterday to pass upon the sanity
of Mrs. Eta Fitzgibbons, who is charged
with assault to murder. She has been
sent to the insane ward in the Central
Emergency Hospital, where she will be
under expert surveillance till Saturday,
when the case will be again called.
Mrs Fitzgibbons was living in lodg-
ing-house at S73 Market street on May
and Joseph A. Gagen, a young boxmaker,
called upon her. He had not been talking
to her long when she accused him of at
tempting to choke her, and, procuring a
revolver, fired five shots at him, each
bullet taking effect. Gagen's ante
morten statement was taken, as it was
feared he could not recover. He denied
that he had ATTEMPTED to choke the
woman and said the shooting was done
without any provocation. He slowly re-
covered.
Five years ago Mrs. Fitzgibbons,
while living at II Grant avenue, fired
three shots at Charles Bower grocery
clerk, without any cause and was sent to
the Napa Insane Asylum. She was re-
leased about a year ago.

ET HE steamship City of Sydney,
which arrived yesterday from
Panama, brought home Mate John
- Nelson and five members of the
crew Of the schooner Lena Swea-
sey, which was wrecked last August off
Navidad. The captain of the schooner
remained behind to attend to the dispo-
sition of the wreck and cargo. The Swea-
sey went TO Navidad for a cargo of hard
wood logs and was loaded and ready for
sea when a heavy gale drove her ashore
and jammed her hard and fast in the
breakers. Although all hands got ashore,
it was only after hard struggle in the
boiling surf. The strongest went first and
those that followed were glad to avail
themselves of the aid Of the vanguard.
The schooner became a total wreck.
Those that accompanied Nelson were
Henry Gibson, c. Galbrielson, J. Anderson,
Hans Knudsen and Sigura Berntsen.
The Sydney brought a full cargo and
