It is likely that the reindeer of the domesticated Siberian variety will be introduced into Alaska before the close of this year by the government of the United States. The subject has been brought before congress by a federal agent in Alaska, Sheldon Jackson, whose report is now under consideration in the house committee on education, Agent Sheldon says that the na- tives living along the Ar const of Alaska are in a state of starvation on aceount ot thegradual diminution of the means of subsistence there that but slight expense would be incurred in bringing over from Siberiaa stock of rein- der, and that by the propagation of this animal a constant supply of food would be secured for the Alaskans, here is reason to believe that the committee on education will soon report to the houss a measure by which the means needed to procure the reindeer from Siberia will bo put at the disposal of the int, department. The large Si- berian variety of tho reindeer is rvidden by the Tungusians, who also use it for draught and who value it for its speed, endurance and particular adaptation eto traveling on snow. Reindeer meat is delicious, and the milk of the herds is preferred to cow's milk. Clothing that is almost im- pervious to the cold is made of the skin and, in fact, there is hardly any part of the animal that is not avaifable to some useful purpose. The varieties of wild caribou that are found in, the northern gzions of the New Dominion would be less serviceable in - Alaska, than the Si- berian domesticated breed Those of our American adventurers who are always on the lookout for novel- tios may have the pleasure'of riding the reindeer, in Tungusian fashion, on the soil of our own country. e Exciting County Seat War, San Juan county, N. M., is enjoying a sensational county seat war. ]‘Im‘fy last year the people formed a town conipany, locating the town site at the confluence San Jusn and Animas rivers, a of the S short distance from Farmington, and calling the new town Junction City, The surveyed railroads and all kindred rail- road rumors aided the new enterprise and many lots were sold. The new cily soon entored the location of the county seat race, und proved early in the fight to be a very fair rival, if not a successful cowmpetitor, As the campaign advanced the contest became hotter and the whole issue in local politics hinged on this question, Aztec,the present county seat, and Largo, the stronghold of the Mexi: can element, were also in the race. The election resulted in Junction City cap- turing the prize by seven votes. Fraud was charged by both parties, and the Aztee people filed notice of a contest uander the New Mexican election laws, which are very strin The Aztee people nccused the Jupo City contingent of bribery, and the charge sets forth the statement that all who would vote were give interest in thg townsite ¢ | this 8 temporaty injunction was granted, and the records and county offices re- | mained at Atzec to await investigation, which proves that Aztec and Largo had pooled and offered the same induce: ments to voters, the proposition appear- in | bi- | one who understands the true state of the | caso will have no trouble in believing my version of tho affair. the report of the | o \per p Seeds of Santa Fe d all county offices and books removed to Junction or reason to be given in person at his office. ety TWO HOURS OF SUNLIGHT, Bear Stories from a Vajley Always Dark, Did you ever travel do Brook railroad through the 1yon in winter time? qug famsport (Pa.) corresponder Philadelphia Press There is no wilder stion in the state of Penunsylvania at this scason of the year. The great canyon, from Asonia to Blackwells, is about fifteen miles long, and there just room enough between the high mountiains for the ¢ k and the railrond tracks. For the entire dis- tance there are only onc or two houses, which were erected by the railroad com- for their employes, the track lkers. As the mountains on either side of the stream rise almost perpendic- ularly toa height of 500 and 600 feet, it requires no streteh of the imagination to realize how little sunlight there isin this wild canyon theso short duys of winter. At Tiadaghton station, about midday of the canyon, I met one of the track men yesterd . *This is a wild section of the country, Patrick,” 1 remarked to the faithful track walker, as he halted at the little ame shanty to light his pipe. “Faith an’we only have about two hours of daylight these short duys,” he said. *“Yis, ye see the sun don’t git over the mountain before noon,an’ then in two hours he disappears over that big hill an’ the first thing yees knows it is gittin’ dark agin,” er encountered any wild animals on your walk?’ *That I hav Bears often come down from the mountain and travel along the track. Last night T met one faceto face, but when Ishowed fight, he left the track and elimbed up the side of tha mountain, *“Yis, I was frightened at first, my hair kinder viz up when I first saw the bar, but on recovering my sinses I knew it would not do torun, an’ Ishowed fight That settled it. He atonce gave methe right of way, me boy! “One night lately the engineer stopped his train because he saw some dark object settin’ on the track, an’ he ght it might be a drunken Hun- n that 1s n the Fall ’ine Creck s o Will- t of the )n the brakeman goin’ forward he discovered “that it was a black bear settin’ between the rails,. Well,now, he wasthe worst frightened man ye iver saw. He just dropped his lantern, an’ wid u yell that almost shook the hills, he dashed back to the train, This caused the en- gineer to pull the whistle, and between the noise made by the stamean’the yells of the brakeman, we thought the divil was loose in the glen. “Several Pine creek hunters were on the train, an’ hearin’ the noise they rushed forward, expectin’ some fun, but the bear had gone. He was frightened off by the noise. * At Cedar Run, a prefty little lumber- ing town which has sprungupin the last five years, our train halted for several minutes. Ex-Commissioner Enoch Tome, accompanied by George Stradley and John Callahan, came aboard. Tome is a noted hunter, and comes of an ancestry which settled on the ereck fully 100 years ago. The party had been on @ big hunting expedition in the Black Forest a very wild region a fow miles west of this point, which abounds with game. Yes,” remarked Enoch, dry “wo had a pretty lively timeand good luck.” “Kill any bears?” “Only four. A llnrt,i of hunters ahead of us cleaned them out pretty well, but we had an exciting time. One evening as Stradley was returning to -the camp from a point where he had been watch- ing for deer, he was attacked by a wild cat, He fired one barrel at the animal, which injured it in the foreleg. This made it very savage and it rushed upon him. He reserved his other barrel and drawing his knife received it in true hunter style. After clawing him grotl‘y badly asd tearing his coat off, the cat dashed up a_tree and was preparing to spring upon him the second time, when luckily Callshan appeaved and dis- patched it xith a shot from his rifle. Tv was one of the bigzest I ever saw. We took the pelt off and will have it made intoa robe for Sheriff Wilson of Wil- liamsport. “We had a pretty lively time one night with three hungry bears that at- ked our cabin. You see we had been wading through the snow very much one day, and being very tired we slept soundly in ourcabin. Somehow or other we forgot to bar the cabin door when we laydown. The bears were nosing about the door and pushed itopen and entered. One old bear commenced smelling around Callahan, when 1t gently nipped hisright ear. This familiarity awoke him, when with a yell he bundled out of the bunk and climbed into the loft. Just before Cailahan yelled I was awakened by something nibbling at my big toe. Pecping out from my buffalo robe 1 saw it was a bear, 1 gave one spring, and f‘oinod Calla- han in the loft. ~ Stradley had a rough time. One old bear seized and com- menced hugging him, while the otherl danced around inthe liveliest manner, r tell you things looked a litile squally fo a few minutes. Callahan’s hair stood straight, and - I began to fear it was all up with Stradley. “Noticing by the dim light of the fire that the bears and Stradley were some dista from our guns, we quickly jumped down, seized them and in_an in- stant shot the two dancing bears dead. “The other was 8o frightened by the sound of our riflesthat he dropped Strad- 1 and, bounding through the door, disappeared in the darkness,” Gen. Rucker's Liberality, Speaking of General Spinner and his queer oaths, I have been tola that the master hand at swedring in Washington was General Rucker, who was depot quartermaster-general during the wur and whose daughter became the wife of General Phil SHeridan, neral Rucker’s executive_ ubility kept the Army of the Potomag in supplies when it was almoét like a Miracle to securo them. His accounts frequently got mixed up, because he baid more’ atten- tion to getting thé’supplies than to keoping books, but his honesty wus never questioned, At'one time a con- gressional committés had been examin- ing the treasury accounts and the ehair- man came to General Rucker for an ex- planation of the fact that his ‘accounts showed him to be a million and a half behind, The general d at the poli- tacian for a minute oriwo and then drew himself up with a frightful oath sajd: “Idon’t know anything about it. Pt‘u my business to get supplies for the army, and blankety blank my soul if I don't'do it aslong as Tam in this posi- tion, whether I am interfored with by you rascally politicians or not. Youcan Just stop that million and a half out of my pay, and be blanked.”” This was the army rule for settling the accounts of oflicers who were short for small ac- | counts, und the general was simply tok- ing advantage of the rule, although it would have taken his pay for a couple hundred of years to cover the amount of his alleped shortage. el N His First 10 Creal Abner Dungrass, from away upbeyond | the White mcuntains, had penctrated to | It disappears —the worst forms of catarih, with the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rem- edy.

It’s a remedy that suc- ceeds gwhere everything else has failed. Thousands of such cases can be pointed out. That's the reason its proprietors back their faith in it with money. They offer $500 reward for a case of catarrh which they cannot cure. It’s a medicine that allows them to take such ar Doesn’t common sense lead you to take such a medicine? “An advertising fake,” you say. Funny, isn't it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guuran- tee ahsolute. Wise men don’t put money back of “fakes.” And “faking” doesn't pay. It was Abner's first visit to the city—in fact, his fiest trip away from home. A rolative doing business in the mo- tropolis had spent the previous summer with Abner’s pavents, and in return for many kindnesses he had invited his friends of the country farm to visit him in his city home. And thus Abner chanced to bhe in Bos- ton, and was now dining at a hotel with his host. At first our countr, dly knew what to do with himself at the wonde ously laden table. His rejative, obser: ing his hesitation, whispered to him: “Don’tbe backward, Abner, help your- self to just what you like.” By and by a gentleman sitting oppo- sitedirected a waiter to bring him a plate of ice cream, The crenm was brought and the gen- tleman set it down before him while he finished a dish of scallops. Abner looked up and saw the delicate-looking mass in the plate not far aw; It was tempting, and he reached forth and took it. He had put & spoonful of the fro: mixture into his mouth, and was hesi: tating between surprise and delight, when the gentlemen opposite rather ab- ruotly and not very pleasantly spoke: “Well, my friend, that’s what [ should call decidedly cool!” “Yaas,” résponded Abner, innocently, when he had swallowed a frigid morsel, “it’s about the coldest pudd’n’ I ever tasted. Iswan to man!ef I don’t believe it’s really teched with frost!” BETTER CHANCE FOR FARMERS They Will Get Ahead So Fast Others Vill Want to Follow Them. “There is one thing,” says Eli Per- kins in the Kansas City Journal, “*that T waat to say to the Kuusas farmers and the farmers’ alliance. I can’t talk com- mercial nor farm matters in my lectures and I can’t get this idea to the farmer.” “What is the idea that you want to get to the farmer?” “It is thi The farmer,” said Mr. Perkins, s about to see good times. He will soon be on top. Ihave talked with Dalrimple, who has a 40,000-acre farm in Dakota, and to Brookwalter, the great thinker of Ohio, and with Presi- dent Huarvison, and they all agree that the favmer, who has betn the under dog for fifteen years, is now to get on top.” “How?" asked the reporter. “Well, in the first place, what killed farming was the opening up of 100,000, - 000 acres of new land in Dakota, Ne- braska and Manitoba. Clerks and bankers turned farmers and went to o wheat at $150 per bushel in X They soon overdid it; raised 100,000,000 bushels more wheat than was wanted in this country and it went down to 60 cents in Dakota. Then the fancy favmer slipped back to New England and left the poor solid farmer to geub it out. This 100,000,000 bushels -of wheat had to go.to n beggars’ marlketin Eng- land. She never pays but $1.10 for wheat. That means 60 cents in Kansas. When wheat gets higher than 60 cents in Kansas or $1.10in England, England sends to India for her wheat.”? “Well, how is the farmerto besaved?” “This way: The beggars’ market in England is to be done away with next year. Our surplus last year was 60,000,~ 000 bushels—this year there will be no surplus and we will consume our own wheat and the farmer will get 81 a bushel for it.” “How do you make that out?” “Why millions of acres formerly given up to wheat in the novthwest is going into sugar, flax, wool and dairy. The protective tariff has stimulated these industries and veduced the wheat acreage 60,000,000 bushels,” **Where are these now industries?” “Why they are taking out 300 barrels of heet sugar a day at Grand Island, Neb., and it pays so well that other factories are going upat Novfolk, Neb.; Sioux City and Aberdeen, S. D, The whole North Platte and Jim river country in Dakota are going into sugar.’’ “And the flax that?” “Every one is going intoit in north- ern lowa,and the lake country in Minne- sota is a duplicate of the Irish linen dis- trict. Two linen factories are now mak- ing cloth, towels and sheets in Towa,and a linen fuctory 100 feot square is going up in Minneapolis, The tariff on Ivish and German linen has done it. We used to send out §60,000,000 annually for linen and sugar. This money will ‘stay in America and make good time here, interest—what of You ought to have linen vies in Kunsas City and Sedalia. The fiber is valuable now,” “How about wool " “Hundreds of carloads of horses which have done anything but plow for wheat are coming out of that Dakota wheat country to be traded for sheep in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The country about Mendan und Bismarck is being stocked with sheep in place of raising wheat. It isthe firm opinionof Dul- rimple, the great Dakota wheat raiser, that there will be 60,000,000 bushels lessof wheat raised this year than the year before,” “Then again,” continued Mr. Perkins, +420,000,000 bushels of cheap wheat made on cheap dollar land in Manitoba used to tumble huwu on our farmers from Cana- da, They bucked their dollar land dninst our 815 and 330 land, Now there isatarilf of 20 centsa bushel on this ing in the Sun Juan Independent, uk\hu Hub, says the New York Ledger, cheap Manitoba wheat.
