AN oLD SCHEME EhvIYED.

The new friendship between France and England is marked by new discus sion of the ancient scheme of a tunnel between the two countries. The Paris Chamber of Commerce has just rece.v- ed a report favorable to the tunnel from one of it's members, M. Peltereau. Soundings indicate that the soil at the bottom of the strait is favorable. The existence of an impermeable grey chalk layer extending from shore to shore is probable. The zone available for the work extends in France from Calais to Cape Gris-Nez, and in England from the South Foreland to Fclkestone. The construction of bridge M. Peltereau declares to be also scientifically practi-

The polar bear is the only wild ani- mal that likes a trip on the water, ac- cording to a French scientist, who has studied it's behavior at.sea. He is quite jolly when aboard ship, but all other animals violently resent such voyage and vociferously give vent to their feel ings until sickness brings silence. The tiger suffers most of all. He whines pit fully, his eyes water continually, and he rubs his stomach with his terrible paws. Horses are bad sailors, and often perish on a sea voyage. Oxen are hero ic in their attempts not to give way to sickness. Elephants do not like the sea, but they are amenable to medical treatment. A good remedy is bucket ful of hot water containing three and a half pints of whisky and seven ounces of quinine.

A teacher in an Indian school in Ok lahoma writes: A little girl got her finger taken off recently in the cogs of the mangle of our laundry. She never utters a sound or complaint about the pain. An Indian doesn't appreciate a favor. If you give him bread to-day, tomorrow he will ask for two pieces, and the next day will want coffee thrown in, and if you refuse he will be greatly offended. One of the hardest things we have to do is to teach the little Indians to say Thank you.''

Vital statistics have been kept in Massachusetts since 1S42. In all the years before 1857 the annual death rate from consumption was nearly or quite four thousand to million inhabitants. The rate has declined almost steadily ever since. It was about thirty-two hun dred to million in 1882, less than twenty-five hundred in 1892, and less than sixteen hundred in 19O2-the low est point reached up to that time. Cor responding figures for England show similar decrease. The system of keep ing vital statistics has not been general enough to make sure that all the States can present as good record of pro- gress as Massachusetts, but all the facts that are available are encourag- ing.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS or THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
The Rosebud Opening Bonesteei
Ready for Rush-Making Prepar-
atoms 10 Cure for Horde of Land
seekers-3O,OO 600 People Expected.

If looks now as though Bonesteel will
be able to handle the rush expected there
next week. They are figuring on at least
10000 registrations, and already nave
accommodations for about 1000 people.
The town is wide open, every other
building is a saloon or restaurant, wniie
shack lodging houses and tents occupy
all vacant lots. Gambling i'll every form
is in evidence there, and the big-nit anu
sure-thing man is on the ground IN force.
So far there have been but two hold-ups,
and the town is orderly and well policed.
1t looks now as though the restaurant
and lodging house business would be
%overdone, and the prospects are good Tor
reasonable rates during the rush. Prices
are no higher now than III eastern Ne
braska towns. The restaurants serve a
substantial meal for % cents, a comfort
able bed may be had Mt any of the nu-
merous lodging houses for a like amount,
and beer is 5 cents u glass.
Estimating the total number who Will
register for land at 10000, it Is a good
gamble at big odds, and a large part OF
those already there are attracted by the
chance to win. From a careful inspec-
ton Of the reservation lands it is safe to
say that Of the 1872 900 acres there are at
least 1900 claims more than worth the
outlay necessary to secure them. Real
estate agents here are offering to pay
$500 for claims numbered as high $50,
while the preceding numbers are valued
at from 5000 down. AS it costs moth
ing to register, the chance of securing
one of the lucky numbers is proving an
attraction to the Spectator as well as the
homeseeker. A large part of those al
ready there are speculators-men of
small means who feel lucky.
The general character of the reserva-
ton is rolling. The northwestern portion
is rough grazing land. On rough land
of the same character, joining the reser-
walton, stock is ranged all winter, and
in ordinary years comes out in good
shape. About forty head will do well on
a quarter section, it is said.
The crops near Bonesteel look well
this season-corn and small grain-and
the farms have a thrifty appearance. A
quarter section of improved land there is
valued at from $4,000 to s 5000.

The German gunboat Panther, now at

The state department at Washington

The department has not been formally

are perfectly correct. Following its in
variable rule in such cases, the depart
ment will not intervene, unless some
act is committed that appears to be be-
yond the bounds of strict justice.

At Bonesteel, s. d., OH the edge or the

mer are around and at work before
the sun rises; the players at the gaming
tables remain long after the sun sets. In
fact, Bonesteel at midnight Is more live
ly than Bonesteel at midday. There
are no electric lights, but the big gaso-
line torches make the streets light enough
for the crowds already there.
But there are no holiday effects there;
everything is cold business. A lot is
leased in the morning; by noon lumber
is delivered and by night the framework
Of a house is put together. On the sec
ond day the building is completed and
before the last nail is driven the clink
of the ice and of the glass on the bar is
mixing with the calls OF the capper, and
another saloon and gambling resort is
thrown open.
But all is not plain sailing with the
gambling element. One man has the
privilege" and another wants it. For
500 per day Stanton, the ~"king-pin" Of
the knights Of the wheel, the dice and
the cards, has purchased the exclusive
rights to open air gambling in the city.
Several gamblers from Chicago and Den
yer have determined to secure a footing,
and declare that they will close up all Of
Stanton's devices and machines unless
they are let in on the ground floor. Stan
ton Is standing pat and trouble is
brewing among the fraternity.
And there is an old time vigilance com
mittee in Bonesteel. That fact is not adj
vertised, but it gets in its work never
theless. Within the past ten days some
of the most notorious crooks and thieves
of the entire country have been in Bone.

when they are invited to leave the city
and are told the consequences if they
refuse TO do so. No fuss is made about
the obnoxious individual. He is quietly
invited by some member of the commit
tee to a short conversation. In this he is
told to leave on the first train, and in
most cases it accompanied to the depot.
These crooks are spotted by the
square" gamblers and the committee
warned of their presence; and as every
large city in the country is represented
in the ranks of the squares" a well
known crook scarcely gets into the town
before he is recognized.

HM
Col. Jacob III. Plain, cashier Of the

of $4,000.
Col. Plain has turned all Of his pri-
vate accounts over to the directors Of the
bank, and his father and brother have

The capital stock Of the institution is
said to be unimpaired, and the bank, it
is claimed, is in excellent shape to with
stand any run that may develop as a re-

forgery. For the first mentioned crime
he was sentenced to a term of five years
in the penitentiary, and an additional
year for the crime of forgery. He APP
pealed both cases, and the supreme court
has now affirmed the sentence in the first
case, and in the forgery case reversed
the sentence, which, therefore, will not
have to be served.
Even should be be granted allowance
