STEAMER D. M. cLEMsEN
With Entire Crew Of IA Hands Re.
ported Lost.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec 7.-Loss of the
steamer d. M. Clemson, with her ell
tire crew of IA hands, is reported. She
was last heard of at Sault Ste Marie
Mich, week ago, when she entered
Lake Superior.
Vessels downward bound early last
week reported sighting floating debris
of wrecked steamer. A pilot house,
said to be "of wood" was seen by the
crews of several steamers, who made
report of the same at the 500 Canal
office.
The steamer D. M. Clemson is of
steel construction, 1900 tons burden.
and was making her last trip of the
season with a cargo of coal for Duluth.
She is owned by the A. B. Wolvin me,
Of Duluth. S. R. Chamberlain, of this
city, is her captain. He bears repu-
tation of being a careful navigator
The Wolvin officials, after being un-
successful in locating the steamer by
telegraph, started out vessel Sunday
to search for her.
At Capt. Chamberlain's home the
idea of the vessels loss with all nands
in scoffed at, and his family express
every confidence of his ability to bring
the boat and crew safely to port.

RUIN OF FOREST RESERVE!

President Decides To Begin a Lega
Suit Against Owners Of the Ana
conda Properties.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Presiden
Roosevelt has decided that the righ
of the government to protect its owl
property gives him sufficient authorit!
to proceed against the Anaconda prop
critics of the smelling trust, and mas
much as thousands of acres of fores
reserves are alleged to be in danger
of destruction from the poisonou:
fumes of the smelters, he has the
proper officials actively al work OF
plans to end the nuisance.
The attorney general had advised
that a bill in equity be filed in the
United States courts in Montana K
this end. The president after con
sultation with department officials, in
Guiding Solicitor General Hoyt, agreed
that the plan Of a bill in equity was
the best which had been presented
but he was anxious that there should
be certainty of results if the bill
were filed, and the suits begun. He
therefore gave instructions that an
agent of the department of justice
should proceed to the mines and make
a thorough report as to the actuI
damage done, and whether it was
likely to increase.
This step of the president had the
effect of increasing the alarm of the
trust people who expected to dispose
of the whole matter at the conference
with the president Saturday.
Department officials who talked on
the subject Sunday said that the case
was a very plain one, and that NJ
court could fail to sustain bill in
equity.
"The authority under which the
president acts" said one of the OH
cials Sunday, comes through the de
partment of justice. 1t has always been
recognized that the government has a
right to protect its own property. The
way that is done is to introduce. as
in this case, bill in equity, and where
damage to property is shown to exist,
an immediate injunction will be issued.
We expect to stop the destruction Of
government property by injunction,
one of the simplest processes known
to the department. 1t is obvious, TOO,
that if the government should issue
an injunction it will be TO the advan.
tage of all concerned, private interests
and ALL"
Mine owners and smelters are
afraid that an injunction will either
cause expensive changes in their in.

millions, and a fight is expected. rhe
ability of the trust to fight the govern
ment Is only measured by its money,
which is practically unlimited If the
smelters are actually closed down

According to an English newspaper
Aldershot has been much excited over
the death of cat, and there will prob
ably be much conversation between
the Scots Guards and the North Stat
fordshires. The colonel commanding
the latter was riding down the lines of
the Scots Guards with two fox terriers.
There was a bit of a tiff between the
dogs and the cat with three kittens,
and the colonel threatened to kill the
cat. The cat was caught, but escaped
from the hands of three drummers of
the Scots Guards, who we're looking
after their pets. The colonel. dis.
mounted, caught the cat in the fork of
a tree and killed it with, his riding
whip. The case against the colonel
was preferred by the S. P. c. A. The
Aldershot magistrates who refused to
convict the colonel said in effect;
Guilty, but don't do it again!" Now
the question which agitates the royal
long-named society is, what would
have happened if a drummer had
killed the colonel's fox terrier. Which
was the agressor?

nntimIst and PessImist.

Sydney Rosenfeld once wrote a COM
edy, entitled "The Optimist," which
achieved success after the production,
but was a long time reaching the
stage. Manager after manager refused
the manuscript, and one day Mr..
Rosenfeld, whose patience was ex-
hausted, blurted out to his sole au-
ditor:
"Of course you don't appreciate the
play! You don't even know the
meaning of its name!"
"Yes, do," protested the I'M
presario.
WELL" insisted Rosenfeld, what's
the difference between an optimist
and a pessimist?'
The manager barely hesitated: AN
optimist is an eye DOCTOR" he said;

Worthy Versus Worthless Citizens.

Worthy Versus Worthless Citizens.
A professor in the Andover Theo-
logical seminary once met man going
-. the town meeting. Said the pro-
fessor: What are they going to bring
up at the meeting to-day, Brown"
Brown replied, with a snarl: Il dun.
M what they're goin' to bring up, but
whatever it is, I'm goin' to oppose it."
3ihe zeal Of this particular citizen was
* questionable advantage to his town.
Some so-called reformers have a spirit
unfortunately similar, says writer in
Appleton's Magazine. An Irish team
ster in a certain New England town
hires a man to drive for him when.
ever the license question is put to
vote. He takes the whole day off. He
votes no license himself He gets as
many others as he can to vote the
same way. A gentleman asked him
one day why he took so much trou-
Die. He answered.: me boy died of
ram an do what can to keep other
folks boys from dying the same way"
This ignorant teamster is a citizen of
the highest type. A gentleman of
high standing in the same community
boasted that he never voted at loca.
elections. He said: why should l go
through the farce of casting my bal.
lot? This town is run by a lot of low
and corrupt politicians. My vote
doesn't count. I've no time for senti-
mental shams" This scholarly gentle
man is a citizen Of the lowest type.
He is stupidity selfish. Were he intel.
ligently selfish, he would protect his
interests as a citizen just as he pro-
tects his professional interests.

One Of the steam shovels engaged
in work ON the Panama canal, in the
operation of which more than 300 EN-
ployes were engaged, recently lifted
out quantity of dynamite which is
described in an official report as being
more than a bushel." What would
have happened if the shovel had
struck the dynamite instead of the
earth around it is easy to imagine
The explosive was in sticks three
quarters of an inch in diameter and
five inches long. and the cartridges
bore the trademark of a French manu-
facturer of dynamite and date which
appeared to be November 30, 1887.
Unquestionably the dynamite was put
in by the French and either failed to
explode or was abandoned when the
work ceased on that part of the
French waterway. The dynamite ap-
peared to be in perfect condition.
