WAVE CARVING.
Queer Franks Played BY thS sea on

Queer Franks Played BY che sea on
the YUha Plain.
In the southeastern portion Of Cali
fOrnia h a great desert plain known as
the Yuha plain. which lies below the
lsvel Of The sea. Il IL a portion Of the
Colorado DESERT. in which Is a depres-
sion below sea level having an area Of
1900 square miles. Some portions OF
this great sink are 205 feet below the
level Of the sea. The Yuha plain b less
than ATTY feet below.
One portion OF this plain several
miles In extent Is covered with remark
ahle stones-remarkable In that they
have been shaped into many curious
forms. and that independent Of the
hand Of man. The waves OF an ancient
ga which covered the region 10 the
prehistoric ages fashioned the stones,
producing many resemblanees to OBJ
tocts manufactured In workshops to
day or found In nature. There are
stone balls varying In size from . mar

ole to a cannon ball. many of them as
round and smooth as those cast for
the great guns of man-of-war.
There are stone dinner plates as thin
as the porcelain or china found on the
tables Of our dining room and nearly
as perfect In shape. Sometimes these
are found in piles two or three feet
high, as though arranged by the hand
Of man. There are stone flowers, stone
cabbages, stone dumbbells, stone canes,
stone quoits, stone boomerangs, and
even resemblances to birds and ami
mails are discovered.
The peculiar freak Of the waves in
taking up the art of carving in this
part Of the plain is accounted for by
the conformation Of the desert at this
point. When the waters Of the sea Oc-
cupied this region they were a part Of
the gulf of California, the nearest
point Of which is now ninety miles
distant. The tides came in to this an
Gent sea through the gulf from the
south. They rolled up against what r.
now known aS Superstition mountain.
The waters swept back against a low
range Of hills on the opposite side Of
the Yuha plain and. recoiling, were
again thrown back toward the Super
stition mountain, finally passing out at
about the point whence they entered
this arm Of the gulf. This kept the
waters at that particular point always
IN a swirl This circular motion wore
the rocks round or nearly so, lami-
mated some Of them. carving the
plates and thin pieces, kept small
rocks and powders revolving, turning
out the balls and dumbbells and In
like manner shaping up other freaks

POT HUNTER ARRESTED
NEAR BOVEY YESTERDAY
Had in Possession and Under His Con-
troll Fourteen VariousIy Assorted
Deer Hides.

At Bovey, yesterday, j. G.
Green of Duluth and A. G.
Rutledge of Bemidji, wardens
for the State Game and Fish
commission, arrested Albert
Tyndall, a homesteader living
near Bovey, on the charge of hav-
ing raw deer hides in his posses
sion. Tyndall was arraigned be-
fore Justice Priest, at Bovey,
where he plead not guilty and
was placed under 800 bonds to
appear at the trial of the case,
which was adjourned until JAN
uary "a, at 10 a. m.
Complaint had been made to
the executive agent of the COM
mission at St. Paul that Tyndall
was in the habit of slaughtering
deer at all seasons of the year
and that be made a practice of
selling venisUn to several parties
in Bovey,
Wardens Green and Rutledge
were delegated to investigate the
matter. They drove to the home
of Tyndall, twelve miles west of
Bovey, yesterday morning,
where they made a search and
found fourteen deer hides.
Several of the hides were of the
unmistakable red color that in.
dicates the deer had been shot in
the summer, and one skin was
that of a small fawn, with white
spots, which could not have been
killed at any other time than dur
ing the warm months of summer.
There was but one hide that
could possibly have been pro-
cured during the open season for
hunting big game, and as Tyndall
had never went to the trouble of
procuring a license, he was not
lawfully in possession of that
hide. -.
Tyndall was taken to 'Bovey,
where he plead not guilty, but
later stated that he would change
his plea to guilty today.

Declares Bigamy is Legal.

Under our present marriage laws
a man may have wife in each of a
half dom states and yet violate no
law of the land and be absolutely
immune from punishment"
This was the startling declaration
made by Judge Robert Taylor of the
Cleveland federal court in an address
before the Mems League of Ellis
Memorial church on the need of fed
eral supervision of marriage and di-
vorce.
"A man may be a husband in he
one state and not a husband in an
other 1t depends wholly on the laws
of the individual states" he said ITO
show that what l say is not theory
let me cite the case of man who has
had three wives and has broken no
laws He was married first in New
York. firing of his wife, he went
into Pennsylvania, secured a divorce
under the laws of that state and mar
ried again. New York, however, does
not recognize the Pennsylvania di-
vorce and he was still the husband of
wife No. 1.
Later he went to California, Sc
cured a California divorce from wife
No. 2, but he was still no less the
husband of the women in, New York
and Pennsylvania when he was in
those states. He died and three wild
ows-not exwives but widows-took
dover from his estate. So long as he
did not take one wife into the state
where another resided he had lived
within the law
at is a shame and disgrace to
our society that this can be. The
constitution should be amended, to
permit congress to legislate on mar
riage and divorce-to fix some stand
ard for all the states"

The Constitution of Indiana was
fifty six years old last Sunday. The
old hulk has weathered many a storm
and there are those who still regard
it as seaworthy; but the proposal has
been put before the presen. Legislat-
ure to retire it and make a new one
Perhaps it would it wise to do this,
and perhaps not. Opinions will diff
fer. AT any rate, the old Constitu-
ton has been a good one. 1t has
needed very little amendment. 1t has
served as the pattern for other States
which found it the best model avail
able. 1t would cost a good deal to
frame new one, and there is pos
sibility that we should be worse off
than now. 1t is sometimes better to
bear the ills we have than fly to 9TH
ers that we know not of.
A constitutional convention is a
serious undertaking. The one that
met Oct. Z, 1850, did not complete its
labors till Feb. 10, 1881. 1t was in
session. therefore, four months and
four days The bill before the pres
ent Legislature provides that the
members of the convention shall be
paid at the same rate as members of
the General Assembly This means
100000 to $25O,OOO for the conven-
ton alone, if it works as fast as the
convention of 1851. Before the con-
vention meets the delegates must be
chosen at popular election; and
here is $4,000 to $25O,OOO more And
after the convention completes its la
bors the result must be submitted to
approval by popular vote, involving
another 100000 to $25O,000 We
ought to get new Constitution at
something less than 100000 with a
short convention. or 81, O00,0 with
long one And that's some money

Heroine 1t % Years.

Mrs. Frank Stokes of Albion, aged
SO years lies in a dying condition as
the result of rescuing from the Kali
amazoo river Thursday. Clifford
Thompson, her seven-year-old grand
son. f
The family lives near the river bank
and in the afternoon the boy went
out of the house to play. The grand
mother was sitting near the window
and while watching the boy play on
the ice in the river saw him fall
through.
She ran to the river, and while go
ing to the boy the ice broke, letting
her into the stream. The water was
not deep and she succeeded in getting
to the youth before he foated un-
der the solid ice. The aged woman
carried the unconscious boy into the
house and. with the aid of physicians,
revived him in about 30 minutes. He
is still in serious condition, but it is
believed he will live.
A short time later Mrs. Stokes was
stricken with chills, her condition be-
came rapidly worse and it is not be-
lieved that she can live. The ice water
and excitement brought on her con-
dition physicians say.

How it Works in Ohio.

Fort Wayne Sentinel: The pend
ency of the $1,000 liquor license law
in Indiana's legislature gives pecul-
lar timeliness TO the consolidated
statement by the state auditor of
Ohio on the Dow saloon tax collec-
tons for the current half year. 1t
shows that the total is s4,5s2, 401 "a,
the number of saloons in the state
being at this time $685. This is the
second half yearly payment made un-
der the Aiken law, which raised the
tax from $3.50 to $1,000 a year upon
each saloon, and the decrease is very
slight-caly 100 saloons The last
year under the old rate (sa50) the to-
tai for the two semiannual payments
was 81, 300, 714s6, just about what it is
row for single half yearly payment
The tax will now Weld nearly $l0,-

Have Axes to Grind.

The Moss bill providing for a uni
form system of textbooks in the high
schools of the State, which passed
the Senate last week, is meeting with
such pronounced opposition from
high school teachers and schoolbook
companies that Senator Ralph w.
Moss, its author, has issued state
ment, which charges in effect that
both have "axes to grind"
The bill was in a fair wayNto pass
the House until letters began to pour
in on the members from teachers in
different parts of the State denounc-
ing it and pointing out reasons why 1t
should be defeated. Schoolbook men
also began lobbying against it. The
result is that the bill is now being
held up by the Education Committee
OF the House pending further investi-
CATION. Meanwhile Senator Moss and
his friends are bombarding the COM
mittee for favorable support, and
at least chance to be heard on it.
1.-THE schoolbook companies are
against my bill because they know
that it will force them to reduce the
price on practically all the high
school textbooks used in this State
said Senator Moss. "Ohio has law
under which textbooks are furnished
to the high schools of that State at
least 33 ID per cent cheaper than
they are furnished in Indiana.
ANY fair-minded high school
teacher or principal will be forced to
admit that, his chief reason for op-
posing this measure is that it takes
away from him certain rights that he
now has in the selection of the text
books in the schools with which he
is connected. To a certain extent it
reduces his importance as a unit in
the educational system. They claim
that they are as highly trained and
as competent as members of the State
Board of Education to select text
books. My reply to all this is that
it may be true, but that the benefits
of the measure are State wide in their
Importance and should take prece-
dence over any personal consideration
that the high school faculties may
have in the matter.
"The purpose of the bill, as high
school teachers should know, is not
alone to secure cheapness in the text
books. 1t to raise the standard OF
the books used in the smaller COM
missioned high schools of the State,
where the teachers frequently are
without much experience in teaching
secondary education.
an my opinion the results will be:
First, Better books in the commits
stoned high schools of the State, at
lower price than is now charged;
Secondly, That the qualification of
teachers in these high schools win
grow in proportion to the increase in
the quality of the books. Such results
have been attained in the graded
schools, where the system of text
books is uniform and there is no
reason why they should not be at
tanned in the high schools"

Value of Wood Ashes.

A number of correspondents have
written that they are in a position to
obtain unleached hardwood ashes at
very low prices, ranging from 81 to
81 a ton, and ask for advice regarding
them. Any man who can buy first
class ashes at the figures given would
be justified in obtaining the money
to buy them, in any honest way, for
the value of ton of wood ashes that
are frst-class is much more. than the
figures named. A ton of wood ashes
according to the best authorities, con-
tains about 600 pounds of lime, 100
pounds of potash and 40 pounds OF
phosphoric acid. Almost any soil
would be benefited by the wood
ashes, and it would pay to apply them
at the rate Of ton and one-half an
acre. They would be especially val
liable as a top dressing for the mead
ow applied early in the spring or late
in the fall Many meadows have been
kept in the most profitable condition
by wood ashes alone. Be careful in
buying wood ashes that they are
from hard wood and that they are
really unleached ashes, else their val
