Fishing Party Which Was Sup posed to Have 1een Drowned
 Years Ago Arc Rescued.

Winnipeg, Oct. 3l.--ln Drma- tion has been brought from the north telling of the restoration of number of Eskimos to their relatives after an absence of ten years. The natives were discov- cred by employees of the Hudson Bay company and brought back to the mainland.
 Years ago ten Eskimns were carried out to sea while they were fishing and it was believed they had al! pcrished, as none were ever heard from. During the past summer the Hudson Bay company sent out an exploration party tu look over Inc islands of the far north for hunting ground and while passing a small island they were surprised to see signs of human life. The island was supposed to be uninhabited and the party investigated and discovered that the natives who were believed lu have been drowned had reached shore safe ly.
 The natives had subSisted en- Iirrly on fish which they had been able to catch in the small streams. They were unable to secure skins with which to con- Struct boats and were marOOned. as the ice never became passablr tn the mainland. They had Suf- fere,t terrible hardShips during the winters but all have rrcOv- are apparently none the worse for their experience.

Mayor Crump, OF Memphis, has de-
termined to ride rough shod over the
Tennessee Legislature and everybody
and everything connected with it. He
has set himself up as an iron handed,
constituencies despot. Mayor Crump
has an ambition and that ambition does
not comprehend anything but power.
He is like many other tyrants-his
bump of egotism is abnormally deyel-
oped. He does not know that there is
a yawning precipice ready to engulf
him. He has no character. His rs the
antithesis OF craftsmanship. Call him
Democrat and his expression will as
sumo the blank look Of a savage. Mayor
Crump should be pitched head foremost
out OF Tennessee politics, and If he
starts back the dogs should be turned
loose after him.
