A morning paper published an article yes
terday In which Justice Cones was repre
sented as accusing tha attocnoys of { ho city
and Justice Patton ot having entered into u
combination by which tbo latter should have
tbo hearing of all tholr criminal cases. It
also stated that Justice Cones had called upon
his friend , Justice Hammer , a number of
times with the object in view of Inducing
- Mr. Hammer to enter Into a counter-combine
with him In'onior to oronk up Pulton's
alleged ; monopaly of the business.
Mr. Cones stated to u Bur. reporter yostar-
day that the article was wholly without
foundation. "I have nothing to snv , " suld he ,
"against the attorneys trying their cases be
fore whomsoever they pluuso. I expect to do
all my business unions my friends , uua I ex
pect thfi other Justices to do the same. 1
have uovcr had any friendly relations with
the pooolo who are apt to bo Interested In
criminal suits , nnd linvo never had any ambl-
tlod to bo engaged In that kind of business.

Iho civil line , and 1 urn satis lied. I have
novcr gone to Mr , Jlammor to woric up n
combination asnlnit Pulton , and I think anyone
ono who understands the true state of the
case will have no trouble In believing my
of the nffulr. "
Justice Patton denies the report of the
combine emphatically. Ho says that parties
had came Into his court and tiled informa
tions , and that ho had never turned them
nwny. If they w.m ted to do business with
him ho could not prevent It , nnd. In fuel ho
hardly thought that ho was elected to the
ofllco fpr any other purpose.

Dnn Anderson , the nzgro who has collected
money from different persons to bury his
dead children every few months , was brought
out tyeforo Judge MeGoo yesterday morning
to nnswer to the charge of ootuiiilng money
under false pretenses. The prosecution ran
up against an unexpected sung , as it was
found that not the slightest evidence had
been collected to show.that the pickaninnies
hud not died. A continuance was granted
until this morning , when MardbnlTomplcton
will bo on hand to testify that Anderson told
him that the money ho collected was not to
bury his child at all , but to pot his baggage
out of the depot.
The authorities state that another man In
the city is trying the same schema to raise

\Ve.Mny Soon See tlio Siberian Breciil
of it in this Country.
It Is likely that the rolndeor of the
domesticated Siberian variety will bo
introduced into Alaska before tlio close
of this year by the government of the
United States. The subject has boon
brought bcfoi o congress by a federal
agent in Alaska , Sheldon Jackson , whoso
report is now under consideration in the
houbo committee on education.
Agent Sheldon siys thnt the na
tives living along Iho Arctic coast
of Alaska nro in tv btato of starvation on
account ot thogradual diminution of the
means of subsistence tlioro that but
slight expense would bo incurred in
bringing over from Siberia a stock of rein-
dor , and that by the propagation of this
animal a constant supply of food would
bo secured for the Alaskans.
There is reason to believe that the
committee on education will soon report
to the house a nioasuro by which the
means needed to procure the reindeer
from Siberia will bo put nt the disposal of
the interior department. Tlio largo Si
berian variety of . the rolndcor is
ridden by the Tungusinns , who
also use it for draught and who
value it for Its speed , endurance and
particular adaptation oto 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 o ! the skin
nnd , in fact , there is hnrdlv any part of
the animal that , is not available to sotno
useful purpose. The varieties of wild
caribou that nro found in , the northern
regions of the Now Dominion would bo
less borvicoablo in Alaska , than the Si
berian domesticated breed. ,
Those of our American adventurers
who nro always on the lookout for novel
ties may have the pleasureof riding the
reindeer , in Tunguslnn fashion , on the
boil of our own country.
Exulting County Sent Wnr.
San Juan county , N. M. , is enjoying a
sensational countv seat war. Early last
year the people formed a town company ,
locating the town site at the confluence
of the San Juun nnd Anlmas rivers , a
short distance from Fannington , and
calling the now town Junction City. The
surveyed railroads and all kindred rail
road rumors aided the now enterprise
and many lots wore sold. The now city
soon entered the location of the county
seat race , and wovod curly in tlio "fight
to bo a very fair rival , if not n successful
competitor. As the campaign advanced
the contest bccamo hotter and the whole
issue in local politics hinged on this
question. Aztec , the present county seat ,
and Largo , thi > stronghold of the Mexi
can element , wore also in the race. The
election resulted in Junction City cap
turing the prize by seven votes. Fraud
was charged by both parties , nnd the
A/tco people tiled notice of a contest
under the Now Mexican election
laws , which nro very stringent.
The Aztec people accused tlio Junction
City contingent of bribery , and the
charge sots forth the statement that all
who would vote wore given money or an
interest in the tovviiHito company , On
this n temporary Injunction was granted ,
nnd the records and county olllcos re
mained at AUoc to await Investigation ,
which proves that Aztea and Largo had
pooled nnd offered the same induce
ments to voters , the proposition appear *

railroad tracks. For tlio entire ills-

which were oreoUm by the railroad com

side ot the stream rise almost perpendic

requires no strotcli of the imagination
to roali/.o how llttlo sunlight there is in

as Strndloy was roturninpr to vtho camp
from a point whore ho had been watch
ing for door , ho was attacked by a wild
cat. Ho fired ono barrel at the animal ,
which injured it in the foreleg. This
made it very savngo nnd it rushed upon
him. Ho reserved his other barrel nnd
drawing his knife received it in true
hunter style. After clawing him pretty
badly and tearing his cent off , the cat
dashed1 up a tree and was preparing to
spring upon him the second time , when
luckily Callnhan appeared and dis
patched it A'ith a shot from his rillo. It
was one of the biggest I over saw. Wo
took the pelt of ! nnd will have It made
into a robe for Sheriff "Wilson.of Wil-
liiunsport.
'Wo had a pretty lively tlmo ono
night with three hungry boars that at
tacked our cabin. You BOO wo had been ,
wading through the snow very much ono
day , and being very tired wo slept
soundly in our cabin. Somohowor other
we forgot to bar the cabin door when wo
lay down. The bears were nosing about
th'o door and pushed itopon and entered.
Ono old boar commenced smelling
around Callahan , when it , gently nipped
his right oar. This familiarity awoke
him , when with a yell he bundled out of
the bunk and climbed into the loft. Just
before Callahan yelled I was awakened
by something nibbling at my big too ,
Pepping out from my buffalo robe I sav
it was a bear.
"I gave ono spring ; , nnd joined Cnlla
han in the loft. Stvndloy find a rougl :
time. Ono old bear eotyod nnd com
menced hugging him , while the othorl
danced around in the liveliest mnnnor. i
toll you things looked a little squally fo
a few minutes. Culliihan's hair stoot
straight , and-1 began to fear it was al
up with Strndloy.
"Noticing by the dim light of the flr <
thnt the boars and Stradloy were som
distance from our guns , wo quickl' .
jumped down , seized thorn nnd in nn in
stnnt shot the two dancing bears dead.
"The other wns so frightened by the
sound of our rifles that ho dropped Strad
loy , and , bounding through the door ,
disappeared in the darkness. "

Spcaklnpf of General Spinner and his
queer oaths , I have.boen , tola that the
mnstpr hand nt swodrjng in Washington
was General Ruekojv who was depot
quartermaster-general.during . ( the war
nnd whoso daughter became tlio wife of
General Phil Snefiilun. General
Ruckor's executive , .ability kept the
Army of the Potomacjn supplies whan
it was almost like a Inirnclo to secure
them. His accounts ' t frequently got
mixed up , becaubo ho'jiaid moro atten
tion to getting thd supplies than to
'
keeping books , but1'his honesty was
never-questioned. Af'ono time n con
gressional commltteuiliad been examin
ing the treasury accounts nnd the ehnlr-
ninn came to GenoroA Jtuckor for an ex
planation of the fact ( hat his 'accounts
showed him to bo u million and a half f
behind. The goneraljookcd at the poli
tician for a minute ontwo nnd then drew
hiniHolf up with n frightful oiith bald :
"I don't ' know anything about it. It's
my business to get supplies for the
army , and blunkoly blank my soul if I
don't do it as long as I am in this posi
tion , whether I am interfered with by
you rascally politicians or not. You can :
just stop thnt million nnd a half out of f
my pay , and bo blanked. ' ' This wna the
army rule for settling the accounts of
olllcers who were short for small ac
counts , and the gonernl wns simply tnk-
Ing advnntago of the rule , although it
would have taken his pay for n couple
hundred of years to cover the amount of
his alleged shortage. -

Jt disappears
the worst forms of catarrh , with
tlio use of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Rem
edy. It's "mild , soothing , cleansing
and healing properties effect a per
fect and permanent cure , no matter
how bad the case , or of how long
standing. It's a remedy that suc
ceeds oM'hcro everything else has
failed. Thousands of such cases
can bo pointed out. That's the
reason its proprietors hack their
faith in it with money. They offer
$500 reward for a case of catarrh
which they cannot cine. It's n
medicine that allows them to take
such n iisk. Doesn't common scnso
lead you to take such a medicine ?
"An advertising fake , " you say.
Funny , isn't it , how some people

It wns Abnor's first visit to the city in
fact , his first trip n'vuy from homo.
A rolntivo doing business In the me
tropolis lind spent the previous summer
with Abnor's parents , and in return for
many kindnesses ho had invited his
friends of the country farm to vitit him
in his city homo.
And thus Abnor chanced to bo in Bos
ton , and was now dining nt a hotel with
his host. a
At llrst our countryman hardly know
what to do with himself at the wondor-
ouely Indon table. His rejntivo , observ
ing liU hesitation , whispered to him :
"Don'tbo backward , Abnor , help your
self to just what you liko. "
By and by n gentleman sitting oppo
site directed a waiter to bring him a
plato of ice cream.
The cream was brought nnd the gon-
tlonmn sot it down before him while ho
finished a dish of scallops. Abnor
looked up and saw the delicate-looking
mass in tlio plato not far away. It was
temptingand ho reached forth and took
it. IIo had put a spoonful of the frozen
mixture into his mouth , nnd was hesi
tating between surprise and delight ,
when the gentlemen opposite rather ab-
ruutlv and not very pleasantly spoke :
"Well , my friend , that's what I should
call decidedly cool ! "
"Ynas , " responded Abnor , innocently ,
when ho had swallowed a frigid morsel ,
"it's about the coldest pudd'n' I over
tasted. I swan to man ! of I don't believe
it's really toclicd with frostl"
BETTER CHANCE FOR , FARMERS
They Will Got Ahead So Past Others
Will Want to Follow Them.
"Thoro is ono thing , " says Eli Per
kins in the Kansas City Journal , "that ]
want to say to the Kansas farmers and
the fanners' 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
got to the farmer ? "
"It is this : The farmer , " said Mr.
Perkins , "is about to sco good times ,
lie will soon bo on top. I have talked
with Dalrimplo , who has a 40,000-ucro
farm in Dakota , and to Brookwalter , the
great thinker of Ohio , and with Presi
dent ETirrison , and they nil agree that
the farmer , who has-been the under dog1
for llfleon years , is now to get on top. "
"How1' asked the reporter.
"Well , in 'tho first place , what kllloc"
farming wns the opening up of 100,000 , '
000 acres of now land in Dakota , Nebraska
braska nnd Manitoba. Clerks ani
bankers turned farmers and went to
raising wheat nt Sl.GO per bushel ii
Dakota , They soon overdid it ; raisoi
100,000,000 bushels moro wheat than wm
wanted in this country and it went down
to 00 cents in Dakota. Then the fnncj
farmer slipped back to Now Englam
anil left the poor solid farmer to grub i
out. This 100.000,000 bushels when
had to go. to a beggars'market in Eng
land. She never pays but $1.10 fo
whoat. That means CO cents in Kansas
When wheat gets higher than 00 cent
in Kansas or $1.10 in England , England
sends to India for her wheat. "
"Well , how is the farmer to bo saved ? "
"This way : The beggars1 market in
England is to bo done away with next
year. Our surplus last year was 00,000-
000 bushels this year there will bo no
surplus nnd wo will consume our own
wheat nnd the farmer will got 81 n
bushel for it. "
"How do you make that out ? "
" "Why millions of acres formerly
given up to wheat in the northwest is
going into sugar , flux , wool and dairy.
The protective tariff has stimulated
these indubtrios nnd reduced tlio wheat
acreage 00,000,000 bushels. "
"Whore are these now industries ? "
"Why they are taking out 300 barrels
of beet sugar a day at Grand Island ,
Neb. , nnd it pn.ys so well that other
factories are going upnt Norfolk , Nob. ;
Sioux City nnd Aberdeen , S. 1) . The
whole North Platte and Jim river
country in Dakota are going into
sugar. "
"And the flax interest what of
that ? "
"Every ono is going into it in north
ern Iowaand the lake country in Minnesota
seta is a duplicate of the Irish linen dis
trict. Two llnon factories nro now mak
ing cloth , towels and shoots in Iowannd ,
a llnon factory 100 foot square is going
up in Minneapolis , The tariff on Irish
and Gorman linen 1ms done it. Wo
used to send out $00,000,000 annually for
linen and sugar. This money will stay
in America and make good times hore.
You ought to have llnon factories in
Knnsas Ulty nnd Sodalia. Tlio libor is
valuable now. "
"How about wool ? "
"Hundreds of carloads of horses
which have done anything but plow for
wheat are coining out of that Dakota
wheat country to bo traded for sheep in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The country
about Mondnn nnd Bismarck Is being
stocked with sheep in plnco of raisintf
wheat. It is the IIrm opinion of Dal-
rimplc , the great Dakota wheat raiser ,
that there will bo 00,000,000 bushels
less of wheat raised this your than the
year before. "
"Thou again"continuedMr. Perkins ,
" 20,000,000 bushels of cheap wheat mndo
on cheap dollar land In Manitoba used to
tumble down on our farmers from Cana
da. They bucked their dollar land
trfcahiBtour $15 nnd $30 land. Now there
is a tariff of 'M cents a bushel on this
cheap Manitoba whoat. This will keep

cusp of * ho mnnufacturor. No manufac
turer milking money goes into n trust-
The farmers' allinnco is a trust. You
did not go into it till you were starving.
But the ( armor will soon co to clory. "
"How long will the farmer bo on top ? "
' 'Till times are so good and ho is mnk-
ngso much inonoy thnt everybody will
want to go into it. But the farmer has
it corner on land now. Wo cannot open
.tp another Dnkotii. If they want fnrm
jimls they must buy tlio lands now being
cultivated and these will go up. All
farm lands are on the point of a great
idvnnco--Hiid all through the farsight
edness of President Harrison mid the
wise tariff makers. This is my judgment
after traveling 60,000 miles through this
country within the last few months , nnd
booing industries spring up from Boston
to Birmingham ami from Birmingham to
Bibinarck. "
Possibilities of Alaska.
"I beg to repeat nnd insist , " snid E. A
Belcher in tlio San Francisco Chronicle ,
"that there is no job in the proposed
Idnso of PopolT island to Lyndo &
Ilough. They-hud not intended and do
not desire to disturb any person having
interests on the island in the least parti
cular , and I have today telegraphed Mr.
Morrow to amend the bill in congress by
providing thnt all holdings and rights
shnll bo enjoyed by the holders and bo
protected to the full extent thereof wlth-
out.lot or hlndoranco. Lynde & Hough
desire to reclaim the island for agricul
tural purposes and have no other motive
in seeking a loabo.
"If the tihubogln islands can bo suc
cessfully reclaimed to agricultural pur
poses the advantage to Alaska will bo
immeasurable. At present everything
in the way of food for both man and
beast hns to bo imported. The cost of
keeping a co\v \ , for instance , through anyone
ono winter is several times greater than
the value of the nnimnl. It will bo at
once apparent thnt if the islands can bo
reclaimed successfully many industries
now prohibited there by reason of the
enormous cost of living will become pos
sible and the possibilities of Alaska
largely incrcnbcu. The climuto there
( north latitude 55 ° ) is warmer tlinn it is
at points 10 = farther south on the At
lantic const by reason of the kura-slwa ,
or Japanese current. The thermometer
there rrtroly descends lower than 5 °
above zero iu winter , nnd there Booms to
bo no reason why tlio Islands , once re
claimed , should not produce good. , crops
if properly attended to. "
