water before Leiter per knew any

thing about it. When the elder Leiter

heard that Joseph had launched so big ship he called him from Europe to take it into dry dock at once; but Joseph was not in a position to obey this injunction. He was under the battery of the enemy, and he had to fight or strike his colors. There is no donbt tint Joseph's enterprise would have entertained an inglorious end if his father bad not come to the rescue at the critical moment. Mr. Leiter was determined that his son should not be discredited, as he termed it. at the bt ginuing of his business career. Then began the serious trouble for Mr. Loiter. It became a grave question whether with all his capital he could stretch his eredit to such a point as to carry through the gigantic deal. At one time bis credit was involved to the extent of ri'0,000,000. Mr. Leiter never faltered and never doubted that he would win out if he could command sufficient capital, bit with all his resources it was a great strain to be called on for so much aa $--0,000,000 of margins for a single deal. Yet he met it. an-1 the result was that the house of Leiter is now 4,000,000 richer by the deal. Mr. Leiter put into this wheat deal enough money to build a navy for a second rate power, and he cleaned out the enemy as effectively as Dewey did the Spanish at Manila.

of council number 91. A. P. A., of

Richmond, Indiana:

"Dear Sir and Friend Our council,

No. 91. of the A. P. A. of Indiana,

having beard that a cert.vn Catholic priest of our city, has petitioned, or is

about to petition, for appointment as

chaplain to our state troops, wish to

be heard in protest. They, th? council members, have ordered me to write

to you about it and give it as their

opinion that the Catholics already have their share, aye a thousand times more than their deserts, in the public trusts of this protestant land, and that treachery can in one way be avoided if we allow them no opportunities, no chances to sontrol or in any way binder if they should wish to the affairs

of this nation, and especially of Indiana. We thank you and will feel grateful for consideration proper to be shown toward us as a eojncil in this most patriotic order. Yours in F. P. P."

As Italian paper says that if the war between Spain and the United States should continue more than a year Italy's loss would be 500,000,000 lires. Judging from the number of fake bul

every day the United States has gained about 500,000,000 liars since the war began.

Th. distance from the Cape Verde islands to Cadiz is 1.576 miles. Evidently the Spanish fleet has been fleeing from Sampson for several days. The distance from Porto Rico to Cadiz is 3,S76 miles. As Sampson is supposed to ba in the neighborhood of the former grapevine reporters will hardly get np a battle between him and the Spanish fleet this week. If Sampson is in the vicinity of Porto Rico he is 1,100 miles from the coast of Florida, and probably the first thing he will do will be to rapture San J uan for a coaling station.

Correanoodence Richmond Palladium:

Seattle, Wash., April 31, 'OS. I drop you a few lines as per agree

ment now. and later on win write

when I will have more cf importance.

but will mention some important

points for the benefit of those who are anticipating a trip to the northwest. Not many come over the Canadian Pa

cific as I did, but a I bought a tcalper's ticket in Chicago for f 19.00 to

Seattle. Wash., and time wasn't considered, I came this way, and can say if one wishes a trip to the coast there is no g ander scenery than this route

furnishes. Bat as to road-bed and ac

commodations I wouldn't speak favor

ably. The alkali plains of Cantda are

a barren, desolate country, with now and then a cattle ranch owned by the Canadian Ranch Co. The railroad company owns twenty-six mV.es of land on either side of their tracks, the government reserving every oth r section. I think the only thi' g this country is good for would be for grazing, and the most of it is no good for anything.with its ponds of alkali. Saw many cattle dead, and those which were not looked as if they wished they were. Saw some antelope and wolves and it makes one feel bad to know the grandest cf all animals are gone the buffalo especially when looking at the old buffalo paths a 1 along the route which have been cut in the ground two feet deep at some places, but are now almost filled up and sodded over by Father Time. These paths are very plaiu yet, crossing and recrossing, but in an east and west direction. Great piles of buffalo bones are piled up along the

track, as on other western roads. The

Knee Indians which inhabit this part of Canada strip the horns from the old buffalo heads, polish them and mount them in pairs, sometimes two pair to

gether, large and small, and cover m the center with wolf skin. One of the passengers bought a double set from

an old squaw for $ 1. If I had been

coming back I would have purchased some of them, as they were polished

like ebony. My trunk was bonded

through from Chicago to Seattle, and

I didn't see it until I reached here

When we crossed the border and into Canada the conductor hollowed out," All

open your grips for the customs ofti

cer." He found a box of Iperfectoes in tny Kr'P but it just happened that a few moments before I had opened the

box and abstracted two or three of

them and this saved the balance

When coming back into the United States the same performance is gone

over again by Americaus. One Chinaman was stopped by the British officers. The Rocky mountains of Canada are

grand, as they have on their suit of

winter beauty. A heavy snow s orm was falling while we were going over. Immediately after crossing the Rock

ies, we cross the Selkirk, said to be the finest scenery to be found, and one is impressed with the idea that the scenery is the only inducement for a railroad to cross as there doesn't seem to be anything else, the pine timber being small and nothing worth coming for but the grand

large mountain engines, one at either end and twelve coaches, around aDd around the mountain side, through tunnel after tunnel. In passing

through one of these tunnels I struck a match and looked at my watch to as

certain how long it would take to go through, but the match burned my

fingers and I could not tell. When

we arrived at the top of the mountain we saw what is called the Glazier house, something after the style of our

own Hign I'omi noiei, oniy nor so

large, a summer resort which is patronized much by eastern people. This mountain is 4,275 feet high, but tLe hotel is in a pocket or nest of the mountains The snow here is six feet deep, and in the winter it falls twelve feet deep. The glazier ice and snow is estimated at 800 feet deep the year round. The sun scarcely gets to shine in this nest of mountains. Forests of small pines grow very thick on the mountain sides, and you see where great snow slides have slipped down and swept the pine trees in its path as though they were weeds. To see the top of these mountains while going around at the bottom it is necessary to get on your knees and look stright np. One lady at the Glazier house, while stopping there, looked up at the highest point so long it took two of her comrades to restore her equilibrium, and one of their crowd said he didn't believe he could see the top without he would stand on his head. So ve assisted him. We had a jolly cowd indeed. This city is wide open to everything, Sunday and all night, although Saturday the gamblers paid into the city treasury $10,270 in fines, but they go right on, and all

gamtsthatcan be found at Monte Carlo reign supreme here. There are are no

pretty girls here as in our city of Richmond, but I assure you they have a greater variety and thousands of them,

Japs, Chinese and disreputable public

resturants are run by J aps. There have been awful crowds of people here wiating for the Yukon river to break up, and many have gone by the overland route. But the town is full yet. Many have turned back in disgust and sold their outfits for a song. I saw a company of young men yesterday

' purchase tickets from a place which ' had a sign out like this: "A Snap, 1 10 tickets for sale at $160 each j including 900 pounds of freight to j Dawson City. Well, they bit quick as they were afraid they would be gone. They had just got in town and weren't 1 posted. I went to another place which ' represents the saxe company and got rates for if 140 to Dawson City, first , class passage, and freight 7a per hundred and the $1G0 tickets freight I rate was 10 i per hundred. I bel'eve the rste will go down to $100 before the last of the month. , There will be a great war on soon, as one vessel has been launched here and seven more are on the way for the Yukon trade. The first boats out are the Laekime, Perfection and Rival. The ship which sailed from New York with the forty woaien on , board is lying anchored ' out in the sornd here. The amount of goods being shipped to the Yukon is wonderful. The street cars here are run principally by cable. As tne town is so rolling they have little short ears with seats all around faeing outside wise. They have a few electrie lines with real nice ears. This is a ousy town at present.

There were no cases of contagious diseases reported during the month. How to Look Gcotl. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look, if your stomach is disordered, you have a dyspeptic look, if your kidneys are affected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you wil surely have good look. "Electric Bitters" is a good Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly on the

boils, and gives a good complexion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at A.

AcreHjre of Winter Wheat tireater and Better Thau Last Ye&r. Washington. D. C, May 11 The May returns to the statistician of the department of agriculture show the acreage in winter wheat to be 5.7 per etnt. greater than the acreage last year, the comparison being not with the acreage being harvested in 1S97. but with that sown in the fall of lSyti. While there is an inereaso of 23 per cent, in Kansas, a more or less marked increase in every eastern and every south?rn state, and some increase also on the Pacific coast, the large expansion thus indicated is to sorre extent offset by a decrease of 2 per cent, in Indiana, 3 per cent in Ohio, 12 per cent, in Iowa, 13 per cent, in Missouri and 1G per cent, in Illinois. The reduction in area ol these last named states is due tr the fact that the fall of 1890 was one of the finest seeding seasons ever known, whereas that of 1S97 was one of the most unfavorable. The averaee condition of winter wjieat is St 5, against 80.2 on May 1 of last year. In the nine states with one million acres or upwards iu this prod'iet.the acreage areas follows: Kan as, 88; Indiana, 87; Illinois, SG; Ohio, 82, and California, 2G. Correspondents agree in reporting the crop of California to be one of the smallest ever raised in the state; on the other band, the crop of Kansas bids fair to be the largest in its history.

Judg-o Dillon as a Jury A Tail of Captain Sig-sbee'a Coat A Popular Italian Artiat.

Ex-Judge John A. Dillon delights ia telling anecdotes of tbe days when he was on the United States circuit bench and held court iu Kansas. Once upon a time there was a happening iu Judge Dillon's court at Leavenworth which so far he has never embodied in any of bis anecdotes. A man had been indicted for etealiug government mules from Fort Hays. Judge Horton was then United States district attorney and Tom Feulon, the well known Leavenworth lawyer, appeared for tbe defense. It happened when the case was reached on the docket that two juries were already out, and Judge Dillon remarked that tbe case would have to be postponed until one of them came in. Mr. Fen I on stated that tbe defendant was ready to go to trial before tbe court without a jury, and with this waiver tbe case went to trial. The gov ernment officers testified to the prisoner's guilt in a manner that appeared conclusive, but in rebuttal the prisoner produced a great gang of pals who clear ly proved an alibi. When Judge Dillon came to deliver bis verdict, be said: "While the preponderance of testimony appears to be greatly ia favor of tbe accused I am nevertheless convinced cf bis guilt, and will so decide." Tom Fenlon was divided between agtonishment and anger. He said nothing.

Miniatara' Investments. We are sometimes led to believe that ministers are the most credulous of all people in the matter of investing their meager savings. We blundered the other day upon tbe fact that several of oc good ministers had been persuaded L. an entire ttranger to invest smail amounts in a laud speculation enterprise ml which they had uo definite or reliable information. When will oar clergymen learn that nearly every scheme of this kind is worthless and comes to sudden grief? The savings bank, the co-operative bank and a first mortgage are the only investments to which our brethren should ever give any serious consideration investments of unquestioned neturity, even though the rate of hlcrest be less. It is indeed pitiful to-ee so many minihtera com to an old age of pinching want who would have been in comfortable circumstances but for misplaced investments.' Zion's Herald.

How He Led m" Force of Mario. Ia the Oallaot Chare-. Few if any officers in the naval service are held in greater esteem, alike by personnel and enlisted men, than Commodore George Dewey. Embracing at once the combined qualities cf kindly consideration for his subordinates and prompt intrepidity in the hour of emergency, be is most admirably fitted for bis position as a leader of men. During the seven years of my connection with the navy I natorally beard many of the foremost commanding officers more or less discussed, and 1 can recall only eeptimeuts of the wariaeti commendation for Commodore Dewey. He is to tbe navy what General O. O. Howard was to the armv a firm

thoughtful disciplinarian and ron have the profoundest respect and admiration for a commander cf this type. Commodore Dewey has a creditable war record, baring been with Farragnt's fleet when it ran tbe gantlet of Confederate batteries and torpedoes or tbe Mississippi from New Orleans to Memphis. Later cn be was attach id to the Berth Atlantic blockading squadron, where he did efficient duty as a signal officer. But most noteworthy cf his achievements was at the storming sf F ort Fiaber, be having particir.ated in both attacks upon this stronghold. In the latter assanlt Commodore Dewey, then a lieutenant, succeeded in effecting landing with a larga force cf sailors and marines, and in the gallant charge which followed one cf bis brother officers and 60 men were lost. Eut, unheeding the destructive fire which raked their advancing columns, they swept irresistibly on and caxried the enemy's outer works. It waa fitting that the close cf s struggle so replete with gal. lant deeds should be marked by so brav aa exploit; and net lees so that th great naval victor cf the preer.t war should be one of tbe valiant heroes who shared in its boners.
