RIa Storm Recalled.

Just thirty years ago in January, the worst storm in the history of the United States weather bureau ragged over the central West, taking a toll of more than 200 lives and killing thou sands of farm animals. "Old-timers" asserted there had been a storm of equal, If not worse proportions, in 1880, but there are no definite records on the first storm, and 1t is known to have been more locally confined than the "great storm of 'SS." The storm orlgi- mated in Nebraska and extended to central Iowa and Wisconsin eastward and to the Montana line on the west. The temperature was about freezing when the storm started, but by the next morning It had dropped to 54 de- grees below zero in South Dakota. Grand Forks, N. D., reported tem- perature of B degrees below, while at Sioux City, Ia., 1t was 2S below. Near Mitchell S. D., farmer and his son were unable to reach the house five rods distant before the boy was frozen to death.

FINE DUMP OF
 GALENA ORE

One of the finest displays or galena ore ever seen in the yukon has just arrived here from the Little TwelEe-mile district and is on exhibition in the window at Schink's store. It comprises one piece of ITO pounds, and another of 15O pounds, aann several small CT chuzks. These Samples were picked from a dump of. ten tons TOW sacked and piled near where it was miGed, awaiting an opportuni- ty to geS<it out to the Yukon river, when it can be shipped to the smell ter by steamer.
 The sampels on exhibition here appear at first glance to be nearly all pure silver and lead. However, the rocE as assayed runs $25O to the ton in silver and lead. It comes from a vein two feet thick, and several Btringers parallel the main vein and the ore in the vi- ctnity seems so plentiful from what prospecting has been done to indizs cate the presence of a large ore body further down. The samples are from the group owned by Da- Vtd Cole. Chas. Fothergill, Charles Sproule, William Melville and Judge Craig. Billy Elliot, now at the front was interested in the property at one time, in partnership with Judge Craig. The first galena in the vii 'inity was struck years ago by FL Hot and others, but the particular vein from which these samples and the ten'ton shipment were taken is on a claim staked by Mir. Cole and within the last few months.
 The main seam Is described by those interested in it as running due north and south and crossing the creek, and following a porphyry dike, which can be traced 6 long distance. Several smaller seams, in thickness from three to ten inches, have been exposed in the prospect ing, indicating such veins run all through that part of the claim.
 The ore now on the dump was se- cured after going through e heavy Iron cap which was two feet thick at the starting point. After pene- trating thirty feet beyond the cap the rich ore was obtained.
 Messrs. Eothegrfll, Cole and Mel vile will be going out to tho prop erty within few days, to do further prospecting and devioping work during the summer, ana are hope ful of opening s much more exten- siYe ore body..-Dawson News.

Eternal Justice
Sons Of God, tell me, II you can tell,

And deep as wide, and ruinous as deep.
Beneath. / saw a lake Of burning fire
With tempest tossed perpetually, and

OF melancholy sort; and overhead,
And all around, wind warred with wind,

To storm, and lightning, forked light

And thunder answered thunder, mutter-

OF sullen wrath; and far as eye could

Through all that dungeon Of unfading
FIRE,

Burning continually, yet uncOnsumed;
Foreveh wasting, yet enduring still;
Dying perpeiually, yet never dead.
Long wandered he in the desert flames
And then in fell encounter flercely
met,
With curses loud, and blasphemies that
made
The cheek Of darkness pale; and as he
fought,
And cursed, and gnashed his teeth and
wished to die
His hollow eyes did utter streams OF
woe.
And there were groans that ended not,
and sighs
That always sighed, and tears that ever
wept
And ever fell, but not in Mercy's sight.
And Sorrow, and Repentance, and Des-
pair,
with him walked and to his thirsty
lips
Presented frequent cups of burning
And as l listened, heard this being

classes. Each class has equal power in
an electoral college which chooses Dep
uties, so that the minute minority In
the two higher classes overbalances the
great majority in the lowest class.
Once the Kaiser comedies his subjects
equality In the election Of members OF
the straltjacketed lower branch Of the
Prussian Diet, who can ever say again
that Germany has not Joined the ranks
fthe free nations and that the people
will Is not her supreme law?
Germany, we also hear, is going to
have an Imperial Cabinet appointed
from the membership of the Reichstag
and responsible to that innOcuOus de-
batting society. The Reichstag Is
spare wheel in the German govern
mental machine. The Kaiser and the
Federal Council furnish all the mo-
mentum. They will continue to fur
nish It. Yet when the All Highest
gathers about him In his Cabinet a few
pale Radicals, syncophantic Majority
Socialists and noisy Clericals OF the

Yet It will be the same old Germany

So long as Prussia is tied up to the
Hohenzollerns It doesn't matter who Is
Chancellor, who votes in Prussia or
who sits in the Imperial Cabinet. All
will still be servants under the rod or
a taskmaster who has no doubt that
he derives his authority exclusively
from on high. The word Of the Ger
man government will still be without
meaning; its pledges will still be a
mockery.. The Kaiser owns no ac-
countabillty TO any earthly tribunal
legal or moral. In him the evil genius
Of Germany is embodied. And we are
warning primarily against that evil
genius.
Camouhage It as we may, It is his
power which the Allied nations have
banded together TO destroy. And until
it is destroyed and he and his dynasty
are relegated to outer darkness there
can be no genuine peace in the world.
