Noyember 29.—Al bert Mouson, who has reached Koo fenay, British Columbia, from Mon tana, telis a wonderful story. “Two prospectors,” he says, “Phil Barnes and Plerre Leger, an Indian guide uamed Kiled Kilkat and myself left Bouner’s Ferry on August 7 and struck outin a northeasterly direc tion, headed for the peaks and can- yonsin the extreme northern range ef the main divide of the Rockies On August 25 we were within twe ty five or thirty miles of the Cana dian line and at au altitude of 7,000 Jeet. Our ears were filled with d sound like the roaring of a waterfall which the Indian guide said came from “Big Hole in the Water.” He piloted us to the edge of a precipice and, looking over, we saw straight down before us a deep pool or river, sbout a quarter of an acre in area sod inclosed on the three sides by high walls of rock, thus forming a perpetual and insurmountable bar rier to the passage of the water be yond this spot. Inthe very center of the deep water was a large circu Jar cavitygor depression, funnel sap ed, a great “suck hole” in fact, fully 8 feet across the surface, the water spinning round and round, rushing downward with lightning speed While we were gazing at this won derful phenomenon, a mass of shelv- ing rock right under Kilkat broke and he fell with a fearful crash into the edge of the whirling pool. After a few seconds hecame to the surface Barnes rushed to one of the pack mules for a rope, but it was too late. With a movement that looked like a sudden twist he shot into the very center of the vortex. For one briet moment he spun around like a top, and then down he went with the pii lar of foam, out of sight into the bowels of the earth and the darkness of death. We at last reached the south shore of Lake Kootenay Just before sundown we discovered a ghastly object lying in the water within six feet of land. It was the corpse of aman, which proved io b Kilkat, who had fallen into che fin nel of that awful subterranean river. fully 250 miles away, far up in th Rockies of Northern Montana, an: yet there was his corpse, drifting ashore on this lake, between whic: and the ‘big hole in the water’ ther: is not the slightest connection, so far as mortal eye can see.” Shiioh’s catarrh remedy—a_positiye cure for catarrb, diptheria and canker- mouth.

Publicity is a great detective. It would be a good idea to have the list of pensioners in cach county posted at the county seat, that pub- lic officials, the deserving old soe aliera and citizens generally might inspect it. Objection has been made to th.s on the score of cost. But with the pension list increasing at the rate of over $25,000,000 a year any measure which would tend to purge it of fraud and non desert would be truly economical. Yet as local sentiment frequently winksat raids upon the national treasury by citizens of the vicinage. it will not do to depend altogether upon this method. It would be well to supplement this publicity with a commission for each state, or perhaps for each judicial district, empowered to re- quire proof of the justice and validi ty of every pension granted during the past ten years. Honest aud de serving vetrans would not object to this. The other sort should not be permitted to enjoy during life the benefits of the creoked work of un scrupulous claim agents and a com plaisant commissioner supplement ing their own cupidity. Some means must be devised to scrutinize and reform the pension list. Its honor if not its safety de- pends upon an honest revision.— New York World.
