DONKEYS TURN UP TOES.
Don't Know Enough to Get in Out
of the Rain.

The war department has learned
through experience that the American
donkey has not sense enough to live
in the Philippines.
Some time ago, more in the nature
OF an experiment than for any other
reason, the bureau of insular affairs
sent dozen American donkeys, com.
monty known as "burros," to Manila
for use among the Spanish-speaking
people. The natives did not take
kindly to the new species, however,
but rather looked at them from afar
OF.
Seven died. Such was the news re-
ceived at the bureau recently. When
the torrential rains set in the little
animals were caught out in the open,
and not knowing how to shelter them
selves like the native beast of bur.
den, seven docile, dumb beasts turned
up their toes.
"They ought to die" said a war
department official who has a deep
interest in everything pertaining to
the Philippines; they ought to die
If they don't know enough to get in
out of the rain"

CHICAGO BANKER is ARRESTED
Paul o. StensIand Captured in Tanger
by States Attorney.

Tangier, Morocco, Sept, Paul o..
Stensland, president of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank of Chicago, was
arrested here Monday morning by
Henry Olsen. assistant states attor-
ney, who had followed the fugitive
from Chicago through England and
Spain to Gibraltar and this port,
where the prisoner arrived Sunday
night.
A telegram addressed to. Stensland
by his son announcing an important
remittance and which was addressed
to Gibraltar or Tangier, put justice on
the track.
Olsen who was in Paris on vacation,
was at once instructed to follow up
the clew and arrest the fugitive. On
his arrival at Tangier he was con-
WINGED that he was on the right track,
as Stensland had presented himself
at several banks and tried to get let
tiers of credit for large sums. He had
actually effected deposit of $4,000
in the Compton d'Escompte.
1t is strange coincidence that the
fugitive had assumed the name of o.
sen, and profiting by this fact the at
torney presented himself at Stems
lands hotel representing himself as
his son, and learned that the latter
had just left for Gibraltar. Olsen was
just in time to catch the boat Reach
ing Gibraltar he found that Stensland
had just started back to Tangier on
board the German steamer Olden-
bourg. Olsen Immediately chartered a
steamer and by travelling under full
steam arrived at Tangier before the
luxembourg, which he boarded on it's
arrival at $3.50 o'clock Monday morn
ing. He recognized the fugitive and
logged his steps until $50, when
Stensland went to the British post Of
flee and requested that all mail ad-
dressed to the name of Olsen be for
warded to Mogador. AS he was sign.
ing the request form Olsen interposed,
saying:
'T am Olsen, sign your own name
Stensland."
Stensland was thunderstruck, and
after vainly protesting for some mo-
ments allowed himself to be conduct
ed to the American legation, where he
is closely guarded awaiting the arrival
of a warrant, which has been request
ed by telegraph from Washington.

No convict has been guillotined In
Paris for ten years, and the sentences
of those condemned to death have
been committed to Imprisonment for
life. The reason for this lies in the
fact that the law provides that all
capital executions shall be held in
public, and since the guillotine was
removed from the Place de la Ro-
quette ten years ago, no other place
has been found for it. The residents

Tells of Great Gap in Social Structure
in Foreign Lands.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 4.-When Will
liam Jennings Bryan arrived with his
party of about 100 in Detroit, at noon
Monday, over the Grand Trunk, he
passed to his carriage through a
cheering, applauding crowd, and was
escorted to the Hotel Cadillac, where
Mayor George P. Codd delivered for
NAL address of welcome.
Immediately after luncheon the par
ty were driven in automobiles to the
fair grounds, where very large
crowd greeted the Nebraskan's ap-
proach with applause and cheers.
After declaring that he was glad of
the opportunity to take part in the ex-
ercises of the day dedicated to the in
terests of those who formed so impor-
tant part in all affairs of the coun-

The Universal Gifts.

An old farmer was talking of his
boyhood to group of young people
not long ago. 1t had been lived-that
far-away boyhood-early in the last
century, in q country place remote
from towns. He described its meager
conditions-the houses, in which such
things as "conveniences" had never
been dreamed of, the coarse food and
poor clothing, the scanty schooling.

most no books, no entertainments or

PRESIDENT is ENTHUSED OVER
PARADE OF SHIPS, ONE
FOR EACH STATE.
Forty-five Fighting Boats, Ranging
From Great Battleship to Torpedo
Boats Assemble on Waters of Long
Island Sound.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 4.-On the
waters of Long Island sound, within
view of Sycamore Hill, the president
of the United States reviewed Monday
the greatest fleet of American war
ships ever assembled.
There was ship of war for every
state, As in all, ranging in size from
the magnificent 16,000-ton Louisiana,
just completed, to the fleet little tor
pedo boat and the submarines and in
Guiding one troop ship and golfers.
In three columns there stretched
along the sound II battleships, four
armored cruisers, four protected
cruisers, four monitors, six destroy
ers, six torpedo boats, three submar-
ines, troop ship and five auxiliaries.
In peace paint of spotless white.
wreathed in rainbows of flags, ship

mony of inspection by the president
of the United States.

AS the Mayflower dropped her an
Choir at the head of the fleet on the
completion of the review the presi-
dent descended from the bridge, his
face wreathed in smiles, and enthusi-
astically throwing his arms around
the shoulders of a group of senators
and representatives, exclaimed:
amy man who fails to be patriotic
ally inspired by such sight as this is
a mighty poor American, and every
American who has seen it ought to
be better American for it..
The sentiment was echoed enthusi-
astically by the group around the
president.
And you, gentlemen" he said, ad-
dressing the naval committee, ARE
responsible for it. 1t is your handi-
work and it has all been done within
the past ten years. Every one of these
ships is a fighter and ready to go into
action at a moments notice. Again
you have shown your wisdom in the
appropriations for the target practice,
for there is where the American navy
excels. Our men can shoot and shoot
straight, and therein lies our naval
strength and our superiority"
Sun DispIaces Clouds.
President Roosevelt had great
day. 1t was his day throughout. In
going from the w. Emlen Roosevelt
pier to the Mayflower in an open
launch in the morning he was
drenched by rain and spray, and the
little launch was tossed about in the
toughest manner by the unusually
heavy sea which the stiff wind kicked
up. The moment he put his foot on
the deck of the Mayfiower, as if by
prearranged signal, the rain suddenly
stopped and before the Fl gun salute
which welcomed him had been COM
pleted the sun was shining. From
that time until the review was fin
ished not a cloud marred the specta-
Gle. When the Mayflower anchored at
it's conclusion the clouds gathered
again, threatening rain, but the
weather soon cleared and remained so
during the remainder of the afternoon
and evening. Not an incident &C.
Cured to interfere with the carefully
arranged programme.

Tho American "Drummer."

A United States consul sends to the
state department a bit of advice for
American business houses that intend
seeking trade in Spanish-American
countries. Cheap travelling sales
men who can pick up orders in a
brisk and breezy fashion," he de-
clares, will not be able to do much
business there. Statesmen of culture
and education, with polished manners
and knowledge of the languages and
customs of the people among whom
they go, he believes to be essential.
The consuls intentions are good,
and It is easy to see the point he
seeks to make. American business
houses would doubtless do well to
remember his words of caution. But
he has a wrong conception of the
American travelling salesman. The
type he has in mind figures more
largely on the stage and in the books
Of fiction than on the road. The roy
steering, flashy "spellbinding" drum
mer has practically disappeared. The
knights Of the grip, while they may
not be composite Lord Chesterf1elds
and ]. Pierpont Morgans, are quiet,
level-headed, capable men of business.
They seek, says the Cleveland Leader,
to obtain and hold trade by thorough
knowledge of the branch of it they are
in and by deserving the confid ence of
the men they deal with. The com.
mercial traveller Of to-day does not re-
sort to tricks. He transacts business
on business basis, and succeeds on
his merits. Such accomplished gen.
tlemen as are described by the consul
would doubtless have an immense ad.
vantage over their less gifted brethren
in Latfn-America, but the supply of
them is bound to be limited. 1t is a
safe prediction that the plain, ordi.
nary American travelling men will get
their full share Of the business in
Mexico and Central and South Amer.

GROWERS SELL LIVE STOCK
OPEN FOR BUSINESS ON COOP
ERATIVE PLAN.
Advance in Commission Charges at
Various Markets Results In
United Opposition.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. "A live
stock commission contest was begun
here Monday when the Cooperative
Live Stock company incorporated at
Denver last July began business.
The company had its inception last
April at the annual meeting in Den
yer of the American National Live
Stock association, when it was de-
cided Ito take action against the re-
cent advance in commission charges
for the sale of live stock at the va.
rious markets.
Stock in the company was sold only
to live stock producers and feeders
and no one person was permitted to
hold more than fifty shares. The com.
pany will, it is stated, reduce the
commission on sheep and hogs 81 a
carload and will boycott the ex'
changes of commission men at Chi
cago and st. Joseph.
The commission on cattle will be
the same as that charged by the Kan
sas City Live Stock exchange. Local
ly the fight may turn on S. G. Burn
side anu F. j. Ehrke, former mem
bers of the Kansas City Live Stock
exchange, who recently were suspend
ed from membership in that company
for selling their business to the Co
operative concern and agreeing to sell
at rates below those fixed by the ex-
change. Following that suspension
Burnside and Ehrke, acting for the
cooperative company, leased Offices in
the exchange building, which is the
property of the Kansas City Stock
Yards company and will conduct
business there.

ALLEeE OIL RATES ARE UNFAIR
Complaints Forwarded to Indiana
State Railroad Commission.

Cleveland, o., Sept. 1.-Complaints
against Al railroads operating in the
state of Indiana, have been forwarded
to the Indiana state railroad commits
sion by the National Petroleum asso-
citation, which has headquarters here.
All of the complaints allege unjust
classification of oil in freight rates.
The specific charge made is that on
November 25, 1899, the classification
of petroleum was changed from the
fifth class to the fourth class within
the state of Indiana, except from
points of shipment from which special
oil tariffs are issued at different rates
and it is alleged that this results in
discrimination.

more nor less than an agent for the United States government, here to carry out it's instructions and look out for it's interests.
 When Alaska elects a delegate he will go to Washington as the agent of Alaska to look out for Alaska's interests.
 An election for delegate would lose all significance if federal influence should dominate it. One of the greatest benefits of the election will be educational-the people will get their first lesson in car ing for themselves.
 . Looking at the matter in this light, and believing that the choice of the the territory's first representative will mean much more than any temporary advantage, it seems that the miners candidate should receive united sup port from a people to whom partizan- ship holds out no promise in material or spiritual things.

A NOTED MACHINE.

It is very probable that the Fairbanks News lost it's linotype in the late fire.
 The machine had quite history. It was brought to Dawson over the ice by Captain Roediger, of the Dawson News, in the winter of 1S99-1900. It arrived in fine shape, and in few days was doing the composition for the paper. It enabled the News to distance it's com petitor, the popular Nugget, in the race for public favor, and the latter could never regain its lost prestige.
 The machine cost about 5000 laid down in Dawson, probably two thirds of which was for transportation.
 It worked so perfectly that the Daw- son Indians almost attributed thinking powers to it. They would watch it through the window and pay it homage by representing the graceful motion of its arm in pantomimic eloquence.
 When the Fairbanks News acquired it in 1904 that paper at once jumped to the front rank The machine has been lucky. Perhaps it escaped, after all.
