About the Government.

A few days ago Hon. W. B. Craig. who was recently elected Congressman from the Fourth District addressed a letter to MT. James K. Taylor super vising architect of the Treasury De- partment. Tn this letter, Mir. Craig asked for information concerning the public building for this city and about how long before work upon its con- struction would be started
 This morning MT. Sraig received a reply from MT. Taylor, who stated that the work of drawing the plans for the building was progressing nicely and that he thought advertising for bids for the construction of the buildings would be done during the first part of the summer. From this 1t would seem that the actual work of erecting the Government building in Selma will be started by next winter.

Portuguese Ship Sails

The Portuguese ship Ferreira, which arrived here last August. sailed this morning on her long delayed voyage. The vessel Is the last of the foreign ships which were in this harbor when the hurricane of September struck the port, and with her departure there are left only American vessels and two or three foreign ships which were so badly wrecked that they were eith- CT abandoned or else sold at auction.
 The Ferreira was partly loaded when the hurricane occurred during the latter portion of September. ana she was carried far upon the beach To float her 1t was necessary to dis charge the cargo and dredge a cnan- mel several hundred yards in length After this was done repairs were made at a cost of several thousand dollars. and then cargo was reloaded After wards the ship could not secure a crew and another delay ensucd, thus causing the vessel to remain in port about eight months.

death, at Buda-Pesth, Hungary.
Kelemer hid not returned home after
his days round at his usual time.
His wife became anxious. She knew
her husband had to travel over de-
serted roads covered with snow and
that the presence OF wolves in the
district had been reported. She spent
several hours at the window, but as
he did not return she ran into the
village and inquired II any one had
seen him. No one had seen the post.

of him. She also did not return. A
few hours later some neighbors went
to look for her. They came across
some torn garments and few bones.
They were all that remained of the
postman and his wife. who had been
devoured by wolves.

ELECTS TENANT WITH FIRE.
Landlord Burns Valuable House to
Force Man to Move.

Shoshoni, Wyo.-James Keeshan. of
Atlantic City, a little mining town
south of Lander, set fire to and burned
to the ground a valuable house be-
longing to him in order to get rid of
a tenant who had failed to pay his
rent and who refused to vacate the
premises.
The tenant, Michael Brandon, said
to be a dissolute, worthless fellow,
had occupied the house for year or
more, but never had paid his rent.
Keeshan tried on number of occa-
sions to eject him from the house. but
he took advantage of legal technicali-
ties and kept possession of it. Finally
Keeshan. thoroughly out of patience,
warned Brandon that if he did not va
cate the house at once he would set
fire to it and burn it down over his
head.
Brandon paid no heed to the warn
ing. When he awoke in the middle
of the. night, however, he discovered
that Keeshan had carried out his
threat The house was on fire and the
flames had gained such Roadway wher
Brandon was awakened that he barely
had time to escape with his life. Al
his household goods and personal eff
fects were destroyed.

Dutch COURAGE.

The phrase Dutch courage" which,
as the World truly says, was libel
upon the most redoubtable foes (and
now the truest friends) we ever met
at sea, seems to have originated in a
story that hogshead of brandy was
preached before the mast on a Dutch
man-of.war upon going into action,
says the London Chronicle. There
were many old expressions which inn
piled our forefathers' belief in the con
vivial habits of the Dutch. A Dutch
bargain" was bargain made when all
the parties were in liquor, and a
Dutch feast" is explained by Grose as
one at which the entertainer got drunk
before his guests. Any number of eX
pressions may be assigned to the old
hostility to the Dutch-such as Dutch
comfort" or consolation" Otis a good
job it's no worsel; a dutch Defense =
which in tom Jones" means a treach.

The Evolution OF

A whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take

Some time ago a newspaper in lit

from the eighteenth chapter of the

which says:
And the Lord said, IF l find in

The paper went on to tell how Abra-

The Iowa paper remarked that Pitts.
