Tramway for the Badger.

The Blue Mountain Eagle is in
formed that the Badger Mining
company, which owns the Badger
group Of quartz properties at Susan
willie. contemplates the operation of
the Bull Of the Woods quartz prop
'erty quite extensively in the near
future. This latter property Is
lcated on the opposite side Of Elk
creek from the Badger mine and
mill, and a trnmway will be erected
at once TO convey the ore from the
mine TO the mill. During the past
two years the Bull of the Woods has
been the scene of considerable de.
velopment and is looked upon by
many to be equally as valuable as
the Badger mine has proven to be. -

gentleman who, upon the slightest
provocation, falls a victim to the mall
ady known as seasicknesS heard Of
new cure recently, and, being about
to take a sea trip out of this port,
resolved to try it, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The cure consists in
going to bed and to sleep just be-
fore the vessel leaves the dock and
remaining in that condition, uninter-
rupted and without food, as long as
possible.
Accordingly the unwilling seafarer
went to his steamer and his stateroom
loaded with drowsiness superinduced
by a prior course of training, and
before the lines of the ship were cast
off he was sound asleep. When he
walked he was unable to tell how long
he had slept, but he felt that it had
been an extended performance, and
that he was incapable of any more
He also felt entirely well and without
a suspicion of his usual sickness. Much
clated. he left his stateroom to go on
deck, and in the cabin met the purser
to whom he told of his new-found
cure with great satisfaction.
Why" said the purser, sit may be
all right, but you've hardly given it
a fair test. We found some of the
machinery broken yesterday morning
and we haven't turned a screw nor
moved a fathom's length since you
went to bed. Well be sailing this aft
ernoon,"

The Higher Strategy.

Senator Spooner particularly likes to
tell stories, showing the humorous side
of legal proceedings. Here is one re-
peated by the Saturday Evening Post
(Philadelphia):
Senator Spooner tells of a lawyer in
Wisconsin who had been retained by
a farmer to prosecute a suit against
a neighbor relative to the title to a
strip of land running between their re-
spective farms.
1t appears that during a converse
ton as to the status of the suit the
aforementioned farmer suggested to
his attorney that it might be a good
idea to send the presiding judge a
couple of fine turkeys.
Dear met" exclaimed the counsel,
that would never do, my man! You
would be sure to lose your suit"
Nothing more was said on the sub
ject. The case came up, was tried, and
judgment was rendered in the plain
tiffs favor. When the news was
brought to him, the farmer expressed
his satisfaction, adding: Il sent him
the turkeys!"
Too astonished at the mans temer-
ity to say anything, the lawyer mere
ly stared at his client.
Yes" chuckled the farmer, Il sent
him the turkeys, but L sent them in
my opponents name!"

CREDITORS AGAINST sULLY.

If Daniel ]. Sully doesn't effect a set
Element with his creditors, and it looks
as if he wouldn't, it will be due to the
fact probably that he purchased cotton
without sufficient financial backing. So
satisfied were the cotton firms with
whom he dealt that he had ample
means to meet whatever obligations he
might incur, that they did not call for
original margins.
The facts that have thus far been
disclosed in the bankruptcy proceedings
show that Mr.. Sully's winnings were
not nearly so large as they had been
reported in the newspapers. The pub
lished reports that he had accumulated
a fortune of several millions of dollars
no doubt gave him a credit far beyond
what he would otherwise have had;
and enabled him to purchase the big
blocks of cotton that led to his failure.
Naturally the members of the Cotton
Exchange do not want such a reckless
Spectator connected with the Ex-
change 1t is the understanding that
it is their purpose to keep him out of
1t if they can.
If he is forced to go through bank
ruptcy it will be several years before a
settlement of his affairs will be effect
ed. His creditors may not get as much
for their claims perhaps as they would
If they should accept his offer of set
Element, but they will have the salts
faction of knowing that they will be
in no danger of losses in the future as
a result of his wild speculations. Ac-
cording to their view he has done the
business of the Cotton Exchange a
great injury, and they don't want him
to have the chance to resume his career
as member of that institution.
Another thing which is said to have
injured him in the estimation of his
creditors was the discovery that one of
his creditors was a well-known jewelry
firm, the indebtedness amounting to
nearly $150,000. In the day of his
prosperity Mr.. Sully no doubt thought
it would be a good investment to put
money in diamonds for his wife.
one of the reports that helped to es-
tablish Mr.. Sully's credit was the
statement late last year that he had
purchased a house in New York for
$685., 900. and given it to his wife as a
Christmas gift. it turns out that he
had only an equity in it to the amount
of 100000. The diamonds and the
house doubtless confirmed the cotton
firms in their belief that Mr. Sully was
fully able to carry all the cotton he
desired to purchase.

Not His Game.

DR.. ]. NJ. Da Costa, the noted Phil
adelphia physician, was, even in his
college days, a hard worker and a Sc
rious-minded youth. says the New
York News.
While he was reading medicine at
the jefferson College, young Da Costa
upon one occasion attended ball. He
did not enjoy this ball very much. He
would rather have been at home at
work. He wandered here and there
among the gay crowd, looking lonely
and bored.
Perceiving his plight, his hostess
took him in hand. She complimented
him on his success as a student. but
she urged him at the same time TO
mingle now and then in the gayeties
that are natural to youth.
Then, pointing to the sets that were
forming in the ball room. Wont you
come and dance the lanciers?"
Eyes, 1 suppose so, thanks" said the
young man. Really, though" he add
ed ruefully, 81 think 1 am more fitted
to lance the dancers"

AN UNsATIsFACroRY RECORD.

There will probably be nothing to
keep Congress in Washington after
April 2S, and senators and represey-
tatives are discussing the question CT
| adjourning the session on that date.
Whatever the Republicans may think
about it there is no doubt that the
country is Of the opinion that the rec
ord which this Congress has thus far
made is a very unsatisfactory one.
The stand pat" policy of the Repub-
lican majority has confined legislation
to appropriation bills Consequently
none of the many pending measures
of Importance has received considera-
ton.
The Republican majority has done
nothing because it is afraid that it
might do something that would in
jure the prospects for Republican sue
cess in the presidential campaign.
The President has been even more
anxious than the Republican majority
that nothing should be done beyond
the passing of the regular appropria-
ton bills. 1t is understood that he
has been of the opinion for weeks that
the sooner Congress adjourned the bet
ter it would be for his party and his
political prospects.
1t is not at all strange that the coun-
try is dissatisfied with this do-nothing
policy of Congress. The people do not
see why their interests should be neg
lected in order that no issue might be
made that would increase the difficult
ties Of the Republican party in it's eff
fort to elect Mr.. Roosevelt President.
The stand pat" policy, therefore, is
likely to react on the Republican par
ty, and cause it to lose more votes
than it could possibly lose by mistakes
that Congress might make in its eff
fort to give the country much-needed
legislation.
There are several tariff measures
pending that ought to receive imme-
diate attention. Many interests are
waiting patiently on Congress to do
something with these measures. 1t
will be said in the campaign, and
very justly, that the Republican ma
jority wasted a whole session be-
cause it lacked the courage to do what
ought to be done.
Mr.. Roosevelt may have the opinion
that he is going to be the whole pres
idential campaign, and that it doesn't
make any difference whether Congress
does anything or not. There is no
doubt, of course, that he is going to
occupy a very prominent place in it,
but he will find before it has progress
ed very far that there is feeling of
distrust in regard to him, and that this
feeling is particularly strong In what
are called the doubtful states. With a
Congress having a record for doing
nothing for fear that it will make a
mistake, and a presidential candidate
that is distrusted the Republicans,
when the campaign has been begun,
are likely to find the political situa-
ton far less favorable to their party
than they are expecting it will be.
