How Prosecuting Agents Hare
Settled Liquor Cases.
The Senate Committee’s Report
Shows Them Up.
The Senate Monday adopted the
report of the Senatorial committee who
have been investigating the doings of
the County Commissioners. Among
other things the report says that “In
some counties the administration of the
office of County Commissioner has been
lax and designed to regulate the seller
rather than, the sale of spirituous and
intoxicating liquor; so much so that
there exists a very general distrust of
the County Commissioners, and wide-
spread dissatisfaction with the manner
. in which they Jiave performed their
duties, and in certain localities the
opinion has been freely expressed by
leading citizens of all shades of politi-
cal belief that the Commissioners have
been venal and corrupt. '
The prosecuting-agents appointed by
the commissioners in some instances
have been lacking the confidence of
theoommunities wherein they have ex-
ercised their office, and their methods,
while not always known to the commis-
sioners, are open to the severest criti-
cism. Among other things, they have
bought and sold licenses for a profit;
they have appeared before the commis-
sioners as attorneys for applicants for
license; and they have brought pro-
ceedings for the revocation of licenses
and settled the same upon payment by
the licensee of a bill of costs and a fee
for themselves, without a hearing be-
fore the commissioners and without the
authority of law.” -
Grewsome.
Aresident near Winnipauk has re-
cently made an interesting discovery in
regard to the place he is living upon,
which might somewhat disturb the
nerves of super-sensitive people. He
is informed by an old-time neighbor
that, many years ago, before the last
war, a child born on the place, died at
the age of two weeks. The then occu-
pant of the premises procured a small
' wooden box, placed the remains there-
in and interred them under a certain
apple tree in the yard, which tree is
yet standing and in good bearing con-
dition._ I‘he proceeding was, perhaps,
not strictly legal, but as all the parties
concerned in it have long ago passed
away from earth, it is now too late ‘for
any one to go to law about it.

_ No One injured.
What might have been a very serious
accident occurred on the Consolidated
road Monday near ,Cedar 'Hill. Ow-
ing to a mismterpretation of signals
the incoming passenger train due at
New Haven at 9 :20 ran into an out go-
ing freight. The engineer of the pas-
senger train, for some unknown reason,
failed to obey the signal which was set.
ordering him to wait until the out going
freight had passed. The trains came
together, head on and the passenger
engine was thrown from the track and
badly damaged. All the passengers
were shaken up but no one was injured.
Acide from this, the damage was small,
and traffic was delayed but a short time.
A Brave Rescue.
A little girl broke through the ice at
Deary’s pond Monday afternoon and
would no doubt have been drowned but
for the prompt action of a lad named
Richard Hendricks, who seeing the
peril of the child secured a ladder,
which fortunately was near, and placé
ing. it on the treacherous ice went out
on it. and rescued the girl. When com-
plimented for his brave act he said,
“Oh pshaw, that’s nothing. I saw
father do the same thing once, and
that’s why I thought of it. Guess she’d
drowned though if I hadn’t happened
to see her.”

J in 'i-Vhitlatchgthe‘ discoverer fof the .
Whitlatch-Union mine, near, Helena, led
‘ n typiC'l Western miner's life. The ,
mine in question is now oWned‘in En-
gland, and has produced $20,000,000 in
gold. After Jim Whitlatch hadsOld the
property for $1,500,000 he went to New
York “ to makefasmuch'monoy asYan-
derbilt.” no Was a rare tre‘a‘t to’wan
street, which _fatt§hed ,o‘ii: him, and in
one year let hinl go with’bnly-the clothes
on his back," He returiied to"“‘Montana, ,
began “ prospecting ” again, and discova
cred a mine for which he got.$250.000.
' He went to Chicago to rival- Mr Pot-
ter Palmer in wealth, and returned just
as he did from N ew York — “ flat-
strapped,” as he would have expressed
it. He made still another fortune, and
went to San Francisco, where he died a
poor man. tsg‘Another Lewis and Clarke
county mine—the Drum Lummon—pro-
vides another such ‘story. ‘ It Was dis-
covered. by an Irish inimigrant named
Thomas Cruse. ' Although he owned it,
he could not get a sack of flour on credit.
He sold it to an English syndicate for
$1,500,000. But he remains one of the
wealthy men of Helena.
There is an ex-State Senator in Beaver
Head county who owns a very rich mine,
the ore yielding $700 to the ton not. He
is a California “ Forty-niner,” who came
as a prospector to Montana, and since
discovering his mine has lived upon it in
a peculiar wayxt He has no faith in
banks. He says his money is safest in
the ground. When he has spent awhat
money he has he takes out a wagon load
of ore, ships it to Omaha, sells it and
lives on the return until he needs another
wagon load.
There is a. queer story concerning the
Spotted Horse Mine, in Fergus county.
It was found by P. A. McAdow, who
sold it to Gov. Hauser and A. M. Holder
for $500,000 three years ago. They paid
a large sum down‘in cash, and the other
payments iwere to come [out of the
ground. The ore was in pockets, each of
which was easily exhausted. Whatever
was taken out went to McAdow, who
got about $100,000. Then the purchas-
ers abandoned it, oh the advice of ex-
perts, and Mr. McAdow took hold of it.-
He found the vein, over which rails had
been laid for a. mining car. He has taken
out $500,000, and it is still a good mine.
One of these children of luck came to
Helena. with money, picked out a wife,
who was then a poor seamstress, hired a
hotel, and invited the town to the wed~
ding. The amount of champagne that
flowed at that wedding was fabulous,
and it is said that the whole town reeled
to bed that night.—Harper's Magazine.

Government in settlement of the Balti‘

“Their Legacies.
An old resident of Buffalo, sick in bed
and likely to die, sent for a. lawyer to
make his will, that he might dispose of
his life-long earnings and savings. He
told the attorney that he had $30,000 and
proceeded to dictate his dispositions. To
his wife he gave $15,000 and $5,000 to
each of his three children. These be-
quests were to be first paid, and then he
went on to dispose or the residue: “ Com
sidering the love and afiection that I
bear to my beloved nephew John, I give
and bequeath to him $5,000. Consider-
ing the love and affection that I bear to
my two nieces, Sally and Polly, I give to
each one of them $5,000.” And he was
going on, when the lawyer laid down
his pen, and remarked:
“This seems to me a work of super-
erogation. ’ ’
" What do you mean?” inquired the
testator, surprised at the remark.
“ Why,” said the lawyer, “ you say
yourself that you have but $30,000, and
you have given all that to your wife and
children, and I was thinking that if you
have nothing more, I don't see how your
nephew and nieces are going. to get any-
thing.”
The old man was nettled, his eyes
showed fire notwithstanding his weak
state, as he answered:
“ Git it! How are they goin’ to git it?
Why, dorg on em’ let ’em work for it.
as I had to do.”—-N. Y. Tribune.
Journos-ed Through Thibet.
Two travelers have lately arrived at
Shanghai, China, whose names deserve
not an unimportant place in the roll of
distinguished explorers. They are Capt.
Bower of the Seventebnt‘u Bengal Cav-
alry and Dr. Thorold of the fathers medi-
cal stafi, and their claim to castinction
rests upon the fact that they have jour~
neyed through Thibet by 'the longest
route that can be. taken' through that
mysterious country. They followed an.
imaginary line drawn from the Cash-
mere frontier, in the Northwest, to the
Chinese province of Szechuen, where it
adjoins the southeastern border of the
territories of the Delai Lama. ' .
They were upward of ten months in
Thibet and/a great part of their journey
lay through a series of elevated table
lands, seldom lower than 15,000 feet
above the sea level. On approaching
Lhassa they were turned back. when
within eight day’s journey of that city,
by the oficials, but, after some parley-
ing, were permitted to proceed on prom-
ising not to attempt to enter the Thibe-
tan capital. No foreign travelers have
before followed the same route—New
Orleans Picayune.
Servants in the East-
Servants or slaves in the east pay the
most profound respect to those whom
they serve. From their inferiority, they
dare not speak in their master’s presence.
Every command is given them in silence
and the sign is alWays expressive and
well understood. In Egypt and in Persia
the like custom prevails. Pococke says
that at a visit in Egypt everything is
done with the greatest decency and the
most profound silence, the slaves ‘or
servants standing at the bottom of the
room. with their hands joined before -
them. watching with the utmost atten-
tion every motion of their . mum. who "
commands them by signs.—Burlingto' n
