1t was on the tenth day OF this after
campaign, / think, that I found myself
alone with some work in the room just
in the rear OF the large executive chamber,
It was In this room that the telephone was
placed. l was interrupted by the ringing
OF the bell. Answering It I found that the
call had come from the Evening Journal
editorial rooms. The purpose was to inform
Governor Cleveland that the New York
Tribune had hauled down it's flag and had,
at last, acquiesced in the election Of Cleve-
land 10 the presidency The last stand had
given away ana now there was no oppo-
sition anywhere.
FASTENED into the larger room to give
Cleveland the glad news. He was alone.
and listened to my rather excited COM
munication. His face cleared. Then he
said;
Il am very glad to hear It, l am more
than glad that they yield peaceably."
He swung his chair 80 as 10 face me.
And on his stern face saw the whole of
the indomitable spirit that animated the
man. with force that was 10 me almost
overwhelming he said:
For In any event / should have felt II
my duty to take the office OF the President
OF the United States on the fourth Of next
March"

FoUNDED BY EDWARD RosEwATER
Omaha daily bee., 1910-08-17

An Old Political Reporter Is contributing
70 the Brooklyn Eagle an interesting series
OF "reminiscences Of political events Of ma
tional Import In the Empire state. His
latest contribution deals with the presiden-
tisl contest of 1884. when the vote Of New
York state was so dangerously close as to
cause excitement throughout the country
and intense activity among party man
ayers in the state The writer was con-
fidante Of Grover Cleveland and Dan La
mont, the hitter manager of the campaign
In New York. and his "reminiscences cover
the inside OF the democratic campaign dur
ing that period of doubt and anxiety. He
says. in part;
On the day after the election in 1854
Blaine sent from Maine his famous dis
patch. Claim everything" Thereupon the
republican committee put forth loud claims
Of having carried for Blaine ali OF the
doubtful states--Conectlcut, Indiana New
Jersey. New York and West Virginia. 1t
even claimed Virginia, which was in no
measure of doubt. The democratic com
mittee put forward similar claims. and, as
the end showed, with greater justice.
Omaha daily bee., 1910-08-17

In the developments of the day the dem
oorats received the assurances that four
of the doubtful states were safe for Cleve-
mathematician, New Jersey, Indiana
and West Virginia. New York was gem
timely in doubt and was claimed by both
sides, by figures ranging from 5000 to 10, OO0
but in their heart of hearts the leaders
knew that the result In New York would
turn on a few hundreds.
The excitement was intense. On the sec
ond day after election It broke out in dem
onstrations. The Blaine telegram proved to
be the last OF the series OF plumbers that
had marked Mr.. Blaine's conduct of his
own campaign. The democratic rank and
file accepted II as the basis Of an attempt
at repetition of "the fraud OF 1879 and
anger possessed that rank and file. Men Of
large affairs laid aside their business mat
tiers and gathered at the democratic head
quarters, standing by the hour with hun
dreds Of others. anxiously awaiting any
driblet Of news that would help to end the
suspense.

Cause of Aurora RoreaIis

Neon. a newly discovered gas, is the
cause of the aurora borealis, according
TO statement made by DR.. w. L.
Dudley, of Vanderbilt University, OF
Nashville, Tenn, before the division
of physical and inorganic chemists at a
session of the Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science which met in
Boston not long ago. DR.. Dudley
showed what he said was the only
sample of neon in the United States.
1t requires over Il hundred tons of air
to get pint of it.
DR.. Dudley has discovered that the
riction of neon against mercury in a
Crooks tube produces yellow light,
and when held near a wireless coil
Hertzian waves will illuminate the
gas. DR.. Dudley's conclusions are that
at the magnetic poles of the earth,
neon, under high pressure because of
cold, is acted upon by magnetic cur
rents, thus producing the aurora bo-
reals, phenomenon that has always
puzzled scientists.

possible for Christie's comfort.
Christie lay month in bed at Fer

break trail to Mayo, 100 miles. and
then went back to the camp at Rogue
river.
Christie's most serious injury is to
his jaw. The fracture has healed so
that the jaw will not close, and masti-
cation is not possible. Physicians at
Dayson have advised him to go outside
where specialists can undertake the
delicate work. The broken right wrist
is not healed, and will be reset at

KEEPING WARM
ON THE PRAIRIE

Kansas City Star: A St. Joseph
patrolman who was formerly an
Indian fighter told how the sol.
diers used to keep their feet
warm by pouring whiskey in
their boots. 'We were escorting
a wagon train across the snow"
said the patrolman, when it was
80 degrees below zero. OF course,
we were fixed for it. We had the
Nelson A. Miles overcoats,
which are lined with pelt and
button snugly under the chin;
warm gloves and our boots were
two sizes too big in order to allow
us to wear heavy knit wooden
socks. The quartersmaster is
sued us rations, including whis-
key, before we started.
Il was astonished to see the
lieutenant in charge pull out his
bootstrap and dump half bottle
of whiskey in one boot and

Washington, Feb. lin a re-
port made TO the secretary Of the
interior Walter Z. Clark. governor
OF Alaska, says that increased
transportation facilities for the
Yukon and Susitna valleys and tie
interior of Alaska are needed, and
the future development Of Alaska
will depend upon the all the YEAR
round easy communication between
the coast and the interior. Gov,
Clark says there seems to be ample
business reasons to warrant the
construction of railroads from the

BLOODY ENCOUNTER
With GRIZZLY BEAR

The Dawson News has the particu-
lars of an encounter had by James NJ.
Christie with a grizzly bear Oct. 26
last on Rogue river, in the upper
Stewart river country, in which Chris
tie was terribly injured.
Christie and George Crisfield had
established a camp on Rogue river for
winters trapping. The bear had
robbed their cache and Christie set
out on its track. There was consider.
able snow and the man wore snow
shoes. After going several miles, he
suddenly heard a cracking of brush
and saw the beast, upright, coming on
a run. Christie fired two shots, the
second being at very close range. The
first shot struck the bear near the
heart and the second in the head. The
man leaped from his snowshoes and
tried to dodge into the bushes, but fell,
and the bear bounced upon him and
tore him with its claws and closed it's
huge jaws over his head. Christie
then forced his arm between the bears
jaws with all his might. At that mo-
ment the bear fell dead.
Christie's two cheeks were severed
from the ears to the mouth, and his
lower jaw was broken and fell against
his breast. His seal p was cut through
and thrown back like a cape. His
cheek bone was fractured and his right
arm broken. Eight or ten ugly cuts
had been sustained about the face, and

DON'T THINK MUCH
OF THE |D|TAROD

Frank Gray, writing to The
Leader from Ophir City Jan. 20,
says:
I told you would let you know how
things were in the Iditarod. l made a
round of the whole district and guess
you know me we'll enough to know l
understand this mining game. Bar
ring pay on three claims ON Otter
and one on Willow nothing can be
shown. So l quit in disgust and came
here. There are about 200 men work
ing here on Ophir and Yankee creeks
and few more on Little and Gaines
creeks. Over ON the Kuskok win about
thirty prospectors are working on
Fourth of July and Moose creeks-but
very little prospects in sight. wish
you would drop me line and let me
know how things are in the Gold
Mountain district, and my partner and
l might backtrack to there, as we
don't care to invest our coin in prop
osition here and would not think of the
Iditarod, as I believe ut least thou.

one or two smaller cuts and bruises
about the body and legs.
The blood was pouring from Christie
in streams. He swathed himself in II
flour sack and made his way home, a
distance of seven miles. Arrived there,
his partner Crisfield was found to be
absent, and the injured man had to
build a fire and attend himself as best
he could for several hours before he
returned.
After day or two Crisfeld packed
Christie on toboggan, hired two In
dian helpers and started for Ferrill's
trading post, so miles away. They
catnped in q tent at nights. The In
dians became superstitious and wanted
to quit, but Crisfield drove and threat
ened them, and after four DAYS the
little party bedraggled and worn,
struggled into the post.

the matted cloths, washed the wounds

CREEKS SHOW PAY
after LONG TIME

The Dawson News reports much
active mining and good pay on Black
Hills creek. 1t also tells OF rich pay
being found on number of claims on
Scroggie creek.
These creeks are in the lower Stew
art river country. They were STAN
peded in 1s97-'9s, and have been pros
pected off and on ever since, but are
only now reaching the producing stage.
With only desultory prospecting it
may take long time to prove the
character of creek. r.:

the remainder in the other.
He said it kept his feet warm,
and I tried it. The other man on
our wagon drank his and we
started. That night my feet were
perfectly dry and warm. The
soldier who drank his portion
suffered frozen feet and had to be
sent back to Fort Smelling before
the winter was over. l soon
learned it was no unusual thing
for the soldiers to pour whiskey
in their boots."

MINES OF THE RAND
and THE WORLDS gold

While returns of absolute accuracy
are not obtainable, it is estimated that
the worlds output of gold for 1909 is
not less than $4,000, oOO, about sl6,-
100000 more than the record reached
the year before. Discussing this inter-
esting subject Canadian bank circu-
lar says:
"There is every reason to expect
that the worlds product will increase
annually for several years to come.
The probable life of the mines of the
Rand has been the subject of much
speculation in mining circles, the con-
census of opinion being that these
great mines will contribute largely to
the worlds output of gold for at least
quarter of century. At this time
there is no indication Of decline in
the gold production of the South Afri-
can fields. On the contrary, the out
put from this source is growing from
year to year. The greatest feature in
the life of these mines is represented
by the depth ut which they can be
successfully worked. In the mines Of
nearly all other parts of the world
heat increases one degree Fahrenheit
for every SIS vertical feet of depth OBJ
tained, while in the mines of the Rand
the increase of heat is only one degree
Fahrenheit in 2G5 vertical feet. This
physical condition will admit of the
successful working of these mines to a
great depth, and will much prolong
the period OF their productivity.
"There is popular impression that
much the greater part of the annual
gold product is used in coinage, but
this is an error, as only about As per
cent. is used for monetary purposes,
balance being consumed in the arts,
the manufactures, and boarded. Not
withstanding the great increase in the
production of gold in the last % years,
the demand is constantly growing, and
the principal countries Of Europe have
adopted measures to conserve, as well
as to increase, their holdings of the
yellow metal"
