Russians Die for Vodka.

Vodka is the popular Russian drink
It is to the Muscovite what firewater
used to be to the aboriginal Indian. It
provides him with courage when all
else fails, and he will fight to the death
for it. There are eight vodka distfl-
Ieries in the new town of Hardin, the
center of Russian Industrial and corn.
mercfaI development in Manchuria. and
the inhabitants drink vast quantities
of the product. Forty-six thousand
men are in Hardin. At least 10000
drink vodka. The daily consumption is
5000 gallons. or about three-ffths of a
pint each. That would make for every
man about five good drams-nothfng at
all but for the fact that vodka is about
las proof: that is. in each 100 gallons
there are 721A gallons of pure alcohol.
Vodka is as strong as schlivoWitz three

CONVICT FINDS GOLD.
Digs Up So Piece Bearing
Date Of 1S47.

Leavenworth. Kan, Feb. 27.-The
finding of an 1347 gold coin at the new
site of the federal penitentiary by a
prisoner caused a great deal Of excite
ment for a time among the other prison
ers of that institution Wednesday.
William Wilson. the lucky man to
come across this coin. found it while
digging in the ground. 1t is a five dol
lar gold piece having the year 1897
stamped upon It,
Wilson. with several other prisoners,
was employed in digging around a hill
which they wished to bring down to
level with the surrounding ground His
pick struck something hard, which he
did not notice at first, but when he
turned the shovelful Of dirt over ne no
ticed that something of a bright color
fell out. He picked it up, out of curl
osity and to his delight he discovered
that it was a five dollar gold piece. He
gave it to the guard who had charge Of
the gang, who gave it to Warden Nc
Claughry.
When the news spread among the
other prisoners that a s. gold piece had
been found by one Of their companions,
they Immediately began to flock around
the vicinity Of the place to see If they
could find any and it is hardly neees-
sary to say that the hill. which would
ordinarily have taken few days to
level. was down to the level of the sur
rounding territory in a few hours. No
other money was found by any of the
prisoners, but they are still of the opin-
ion that there is more gold there, dis
pite the fact that all the ground in that
Vicinity has been thoroughly inspected
1t is interesting to note that the
ground within the walls of the federal
penitentiary gives up q number of odd
things that have been there for some
time. Tt has not been SO very long ago
that the solid iron cannon ball was
found there. A few months ago the
bones of a baby were found while ex-
cavating at the new site and now comes
the discovery of this gold 1t is evident
that it was lost by some soldier in or
around the year 1S47, who had just been
paid by the paymaster.
The new site is on the route known a
long time ago as the Santa Fe trail.
It is said that camping place for those
travelling across the plains was estab-
lished there. The IS gold piece is in the
possession of the authorities of the
penitentiary who will send it to General
c. c. Clay, general agent of the depart
ment Of justice, who may want to keep
1t as a curiosity.
Wilson. the man who found it, has
five dollars to his credit. which he will
receive after his release from the prison.

Information About Bananas.

There is a vast amount of ignorance
prevailing among intelligent people Of
the north concerning the growth, pro-
ducticn and marketing of bananas.
Many people imagine that the natives
in tropical chimes step out of their
huts in the early morning and pluck
and eat bananas fresh from the plant
the same as they would oranges and
other fruits. Bananas ripened on the
plant are not suitable for food, and
would be much the same as the pith
which is found in the northern corn
stalk or elder. Bananas sold in the
United States, even after travelling
three thousand miles in green state,
are every bit as good as bananas ripen-
ed under a tropical sun. This is prob
ably true of no other export fruit The
plant of which bananas are the fruit is
not tree, nor is it a bush or vine. 1t

Sixth Ward Sewer.

At the conclusion Of a political meet
ing held in the Sixth ward Friday night
the people present took up the discus
sion of the sewer question, which is TO
be the issue in the city primaries on
March 16. A good many of the people
at the meeting were opposed to the
sewer but when the proposition was
fully explained to them, they discover
ed that the sewer would be a mighty
good thing after all. People living in
Lowman Hill express confidence in the
outcome of the fight between J. w. s..
Hughes and w. A. Myers. They say
that Myers will certainly win.
