WOLVES ARE A MENACE.

Buffalo wolves have become so
bold and predatory in the region west
of Custer, S. D., that ranchers have
been forced to appeal to the govern
ment for protection for their sheep,
cattle and other stock.
In the district lying between Gus
ter and Newcastle, Wyo., it is report
ed that not in the memory Of the
oldest inhabitant have the wolves
been so plentiful, so vicious or so
bold as they have been during the
past summer and autumn, and re-
liable stock men from the district
mentioned say that, conservatively
estimated, II per cent Of the stock
of that entire section has been de-
stroyed by the wolves.
Government, state and county
bounties amounting in all to $40 per
head have not resulted in any precep-
tible thinning out of teh animals, and
an appeal has been made TO the SUI
perintendent of the Black Hills forest
reserve, who, in turn, has asked the
forestry bureau to hire, at govern
ment expense, first-class trappers to
exterminate the pests.

TOM JOHNsON's COURAGE.

A recent writer in The Public, said
Of Tom L. Johnson, "Why, this man
is not afraid of anything, not Of the
truth even" And Miss Alice Stone
Blackwell writes in The Woman's
Journal:
There is no quality so universally
admired, by all sorts and conditions
Of men and women, as courage. Pes
simists say that this is because most
people are great towards; but the
brave admire courage also. To the
lovers of courage, there is a pleasure
in Tom Johnson's reelection as may
or of Cleveland, quite apart from the
local issues involved.
Johnson accepted an invitation to
speak before the Ohio Woman Suf-
frage association, and made a most
uncompromising equal suffrage
speech. just on the eve of the election
when he knew he was facing the
hardest fight of his life, against a
very popular opponent, backed by un-
limited money and all the weight of
the administration at Washington.
It was the prettiest bit of political
courage since Hon. George F. Hoar
made his great speech in congress on
the unpopular side of the Filipino
question, just before the Massachu-
sets Legislature was to vote upon his
reelection as United States senator.
When they heard of Johnson's ac-
tion. suffragists all over the country,
without regard to their political
views, rejoiced in the pure pluck Of
the man. 1t is good to know that ne
did not lose the election by it, any
more than Hoar did.

Leaving the white house at 4
o'clock In carriage they were driv-
en- hriskly up Seventeenth street to
the outskirts of the city and the ex-
cursion began. Mr.. Winthrop did moi
start out with a silk hat and patent
leather shoes, as did Secretary Ba-
con recently. but he took neither
raincoat nor umbrella and both were
wet to the skin before the ride ended
and the walk begun.
Plunging off into the woods of
Rock Creek park the president led
Mr.. Winthrop on such a walk as only
the president knows how to take. Up
wild pathways, sliding down wet hill
sides, holding on by branches, and
across country for 10 miles the eX-
cursion continued until Mr.. Winthrop
was gasping for. breath and with
raindrops dripping from his neatly
trimmed Van Dyke. was ready to
drop.
Then. by way of a fitting finish to
the contest, the president led the way
to Rock creek and plunged over the
bank into the stream waist deep,
crossing to the other side. Here Mr.
winthrop hesitated, but with last
remaining atom of strength and cour-
age he followed his chief and gained
the other side, where the president
laughing, sent him home for dry
clothes and a rest.

NO SALOONS, FEW ARRESTS,

A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn,
says of the effect of prohibition there:
A comparison of the first two
weeks of Knoxville as a dry city"
with Knoxville when the saloon ex-
listed. shows some interesting figures.
With saloons in Knoxville the num-
ber of arrests on all charges ranged
from $50 to 100 a week. The last
week before saloons went out there
were $50 arrests. During the first
week of a saloonless city the arrests
totaled 90, but this was a high fig
ure because of the fact that a great
quantity of liquor in jugs was sold
on October 81, the last day of the
saloons.
Saturday night. the night when
there are usually about 80 arrests
there were but three.
The second week showed but S2
arrests. or less than one-fourth the
number with saloons. This moral
showing is offset by the depleted IL
nances of the city through fines. Con-
sequently a plain drunk which tor-
merly cost about IS in the police
court. costs two or three times that
| figure now.
Most of the buildings formerly oc-
cupied by saloons in the uptown sec
ton are rented.

The
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy OF
known value; laxative which physi.
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination Of Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Call
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
OF the laxative for It's remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get Its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

ROMANCE TODAY.

To our forefathers each new mani
festation was a matter of ocular ex-
element. The fingers Of the cotton
gin took the place of human fingers
says Golfers Weekly.
At the coming Of ether an ampu-
tation was transformed from a sense
Of torture to placid process in me-
chanics. Crowds gathered to watch
Fulton's devil-boat churn its way
slowly up the Hudson, or to watch
the first locomotive putting and
clanking its way through the mead
ows.
Even with the development OF
electricity wires stretched taut
against the sky; the strand of cable
might be seen as it began its plunge
beneath the Atlantic.
Yet it has remained for the matter
of-fact utilization of wireless teleg-
raphy to bring US in science the
height Of romance. Today a mer-
chant wishes to telegraph to his
buyer in London; forthwith his half
dozen words are shot to the tip Of a
pole besides the seashore, fllcked in
to the sky, and sucked out Of space
10 a lonely spot on the coast Of Ire
land. There is here as much magic
of romance as the world has ever
seen.

weverhauser the Lumber King.

Today Frederick Weyerhauser cele-
brates his 73rd birthday. The enor-
mously wealthy lumber king Of the
northwest, was born in ,Niedor SAUL
helm. Germany. November 21, 1884.
He emigrated to the United States in
1852 and four years later located
in Coal Valley, ILL.,. where he engaged
In the lumber and grain business. In
1850 he began. sawmill operations at
Rock Island. In 1891 he removed
to st. Paul to better direct his great
lumber interests and since that time
he has continued to make the Minne-
sofa capital his home. Mr.. Weyer-
hauser is heavily interested In other
Industrial enterprises as well as en-
gagged in various phases of the lum-
ber and logging business. 1t has
been reported that his wealth Is equal
to 1t il it does not exceed that Of
John D.. Rockefeller. Mr.. Weyer-
hauser owns vast timber tracts in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington
and Idaho, and through ownership
or control is the greatest single fac
tor today in the American timber
field.

HAZED by THE PRESIDENT.

Beekman Winthrop, assistant Sec
retary Of the treasury department and
one Of the best players in the tennis
cabinet" has been initiated into the
group Of President Roosevelt's favor
ties. From time to time he has play
ed tennis on the court back of the
white house office but not until last
Saturday was he taken into the inner
circle of the presidents official fam
lily.
Saturday was a rainy day in
Washington. and this probably was
why the president choose 1t for the
hazing Of Mr.. Winthrop. The presi-
dent delights in rain. He would
rather take walk in a downpour
than in the sunshine. He says It Is
good for him, and from time to time
he tries It on his friends. so he
planned walk for Saturday and ran
over his list Of friends for a victim
and finally thought Of Mr.. Winthrop.
The invitation was telephoned to him.

STEELE SHOULD. RESIGN.

The Capital Journal of Salem, one
of the leading republican papers Of
the state, demands that state Treas
urer Steele resign, so that proceed
ings to collect the funds deposited by
him in the defunct Title Guarantee &
Trust company's bank may be start
ed.
The school children of oregon have
about 100000 of funds in that in
stitution, deposited there by the
state treasurer without sufficient Sc
ourity and nothing can be done to
recover the fund until Steel resigns
and his successor takes charge of the
office and demands the funds. The
Journal says of the matter:
The oranges all over the state are
taking up the matter of the state
treasury having $S95,OOO in the
Title Guarantee & Trust Co. bank
at Portland when it suspended, and
are asking State Treasurer Steel to
resign as the only way to enable the
state to recover its lost funds.
Governor Chamberlain and Dis
trlct Attorney McNary of Marion
county practically take the same
view of the matter. The opinion of
these officials is backed up by the
investigation which the attorney
general is making and that official is
understood to be preparing a legal
statement OF the whole situation
from the standpoint of the state.
Under the direction of the COVER
nor. the attorney-general has been
having consultations with represen-
tatives of the American Surety COM
pany of New York, against whom
the state holds bonds for 100000 to
protect state funds, and the state has
so far taken no steps without being
advised somewhat of the views Of
the surety company so that the. New
York sureties cannot find fault with
any Of the proceedings.
1t is the opinion of business men
generally that it is the first duty Of
State Treasurer Steel to take such
steps as will enable the state to re-
cover the money placed in that bank.
He admits having only partial collat-
erals for his deposits there at Port
land, but claims the state will get
dollar for dollar, and that he, Steel
never got a cent for having such a
large sum of money in the Thorn
burn Ross corporation.
II Mr. Steel takes the view that it
is his first duty to help the state get
its school funds, he will resign, and
when his successor is named the
funds will be asked for to be trans
ferred to the new treasurer. Then
Steel will say they are in the bust
ed bank. Then his successor will sue
the New York Surety company,
whose bonds the state holds to the
tune of 100000 That company is
good, and the state will get its
1895, 900, and not otherwise.
No one but Steel believes that the
j. Thornburn Ross bank will pay out
10 cents on the dollar. The receiver
ship was named by Ross and is be-
ing generally attacked as an unfit
