FARMERS STRANGE MANIA.
Has Not Sat Down in the Last Si1
Years

A dispatch from Omaha says that Chas.
Maggie, Nebraska farmer, whose super
stitious fear of satan has kept him from
sitting down for the last six years, is In
Jail here charged with assaulting John
Hanschild with a pitchfork. 'Hanschild
continued to operate his threshing machine.
despite the remoEstrances of his eccentric
neighbor, who declared that the machine
was possessed of the devil and that its
operation would release his satanic majesty
to the undoing of all the neighborhood.
Finding his objection disregarded Nagle
rushed into the barn and returned with a
pitchfork, with which he sought to drive
Hanschild away from the dreaded imple
ment.
Maggie sleeps in an apparatus of his own
continuance, eats from a high shelf, stand
ing, walks TO town with his team and
never rides III a street car or an elevator.
He believes that if found in a sitting pos
ture an evil spirit will capture him I'M
awares.
Maggie owns fine farm ten miles from
Omaha, and works in the soil as any other
farmer. He is forty years of age, and
talks in an Intelligent manner. Except for
his fear of evil genii there appears to be
nothing wrong with the man either physi-
cally or mentally.

Bronx Park stations in New York city

the collection is now safely housed under
the care OF the Geological Society in Bronx

USE OIL AS FUEL.
Proposed Change in Methods of
klOndike Mining.

klOndtke Mining.
Dawson. Y. T., Jan. 22.-The Cana
dian government, Through the Gus
toms department, has on foot giant
scheme to encourage the widespread
operation of the Yukon's vast low
grade placers by introducing crude pc
troleum for fuel. Its success would
mean an increased flood of gold into
Seattle and big revenue to the coast
and Eastern Canada.
The scheme proposed is that the
Canadian government remove the duty
on oil destined for the British Yukon.
Such move would create shipments
of great quantities of California petro-
leum to Dawson yearly Some hope
is expressed that the scheme may be
cOnsummated in time for some ship
ments to be made this year. The Nor
thern Commercial company is figuring
on bringing the oil in large quantities
by way of St. Michael
Canada produces no crude petroleum
availab BILE here, but exacts duty of
five cents gallon on that imported.
Hundreds of giant boilers now used in
the Klondike are now heated by wood.
The consumption is so great that one
fifth of the cost of mining is for the
single item of fuel A fifth of the pop
ulation is engaged in cutting and haul
ing wood. Thousands of acres of low
grade placers cannot be touched except
with cheaper fuel, water and transpor-
tation of supplies. With the new
scheme carried out, vast area will he
opened and employment given to thou
sands, while the production will be in
creased by millions.

have received mandate from Russia
to clear up the precarious situation
in Servica, mad King Peter is alleged
to have recognized the untenability
of his position and to be willing to alb
dictate.
His successor, it is added, will only
be permitted to ascend the throne con-
ditionally on his agreeing to punish
the leaders of the conspiracy that re-
suited in the assassination of King
Alexander and Queen Draga, removing
all those who were directly or indi-
rectly concerned in the regicide.
The statement published here is not
confirmed, but all reports indicate
that affairs in Servia are steadily grow
ing worse and causing great anxiety
in Austria and Russia.

MARKET IN BAD SHAPE.
Clarke County Prune Growers Are
Discouraged.

Clarke County Prune Growers Are
Discouraged.
Vancouver, Wash, Jan. 2O.-The
in the prune market is not
very encouraging at present, and many
growers have come to the conclusion
that the crop is Improbable. The
price is so very low that sales are not
being made except inr are cases. In
fact there is no market and no buyers
Most all the crop is lying in the ware
houses or in the bins at the driers.
The fruit was excellent in quality and
the slackness of the sales and market
cannot be accounted for.
Many prune growers built new dri-
ers last summer and otherwise expend-
ed much money, and now that the
prunes cannot be sold they are some-
what embarrassed. 1t is estimated
that ~, OOO,O worth of prunes are
tied up. So far as the handlers are
concerned. they say that there is no
immediate prospect of any change in
the market conditions.
