VIEWS OF THE PRESS. We could never see much point in the pre election clamor about the factories and railroads intimidating their men As we have the secret ballot and every man can go into the booth and vote without possibility of espionage, it is difficult to see haw any action of proprietors or bosses can affect results. Though a man may deem it necessary to keep still on the outside, he is certainly absolutely free to vote as he pleases when he enters the booth.— Indianapolis Independent Watch for the BAO. Drag. Hon. Chas. P. Drummond Speaks to Large Audience. Hon. Charles P. Drummond of South ’ Bend, one of the beet known democratic speakers in this part of the state, spoke in the opera house last Thursday evening, and was greeted by a packed house. S. J. Nicoles, chairman of the meeting, preceded Mr. Drummond with a nice little speech in which he touched upon interesting pointe of the campagn and spoke especially of the high moral tone that had, in the main, characterized the conduct of both the great parties in the state and national contests. Mr. Drummond discussed the main issues of the campaign in bis pleasing, argumentative style, making a strong presentation of the democratic position on state and national issues. While forceful, he is never abusive, and for that reason the people always enjoy hearing him speak, irrespective of political complection. Mr. Drummond spoke for about an hour and a half and was listened to with close interest by the large audience throughout hie address. A pleasant feature of the meeting was the music furnished by the Walkerton Military band. THE DEATH RECORD. W INGER.

Daring- Young; Man Will Go W here No White Man Wan Ever Seen. Wilhjalmr Stefansson, a young student of arctic life, has started for hi< second trip of exploration among the Esquimaux of the frozen north. He expects to be gone at least two years. He will take with him no equipment but a gun and a fish net, no clothes but those he stands lu, no supplies but “a strong body and a cheerful heart,” and no more money than will just carry him to the borders of civilization. Thus lightly equipped Stefanssm plans to penetrate l.sbo miles through a frozen and trackless waste, working his way along the great rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean. When h< has reached the coast Ue will go east ward along the coast line, traveling over the ice in a dog sled until he reaches the settlements on Coronation Bay. There Stefansson will pass the win ter among men who have never seen it white man and of whose life ami hab its the civilized world has not the slightest knowledge. Ue will work a' they work, live as iltey live, catch the fish he eats and wap the skins he wears, as one of t^mselves. If th. winter brings family, as it frequently does, he will starve and freeze as they do if he cannot fight his way back tc the world with the Information he has gained. By birth and education Wilhjalmr Stefansson is an American, though hi> name does not sound like it nor does h< seem particularly American. He is a big. blonde, well dressed young man. with his Norse ancestry plainly visibl through his Harvard exterior. He is about 2S years old, though he appears much younger. He is athletic ami tanned, ami looks every inch a son oi his fathers, who were Icelanders. Hi speaks the Esquimaux language like a native. Strangely enough, exactly the saint language Is spoken by all the Esqni maux tribes from the east coast of le-* land to the west coast of Siberia, ami north as far as humanity is found. Sc Mr. Stefansson goes as a man to his own people. Mr. Stefansson first attracted the at tent ion of ethnologists by his work in Iceland for the Peabody Museum while ho was still a Harvard student. Latei he became a member of the staff of tin Peabody Museum. In the spring of 190 G he was given leave of absence from Harvard to become the ethnologist for the Anglo-American polar ex pedition to investigate the scientifically unknown peoples to the east of the mouth of Mackenzie River, toward the north coast of Alaska. lie 'M otmerea. Senator Clark ofßVyoming is credited wtih the retellßig of a story by Bishop Potter, to Ihe effect that a young clergyman >v®it to preach one ■Sunday afternoon, allm insane asylum. When he reached tIV asylum Ue dis covered that he hadTleft his notes at a hotel in the city, lie told the superintendent that he lould not preach without those notes Ind that Hie services for the afternolu must be abandoned. The superintendent insisted upon some sort of sermon, because all of tlm inmates were expecting it; and they could not endure the disap poiutment. The young man had delivered a sermon on foreign missions that very morning and had the manti script with him. The superintendent insisted that lie should preach to the insane, concerning foreign missions; and he did so. The audience gave silent and almost rapid attention to the discourse. When it was concluded quite a number of the patients came up to to be introduced to the preacher. One of them had been particularly attentive and the young preacher asked him what part of the discourse had especially attracted his attention. He answered: "When you were telling about tin heathen mothers in India, pitching their little children under the wheels of Jug gernaut, 1 was wondering what kept your mother from doing that righteous [ act when you were a baby.” !

In a wood about 30 miles from Lon don, Eng., lives an old man who for 20 years has known no other roof than an umbrella. “Twenty years ago I took to the woods," he said. "During the great suow storm last winter I slept soundly, aud when 1 woke up in the morning I was covered with snow many inches deep. But I am never ill. I have not had a day’s illness in my life; I have lived a simple, single life, and I have no more worry than that tree has. I have no rates and taxes to pay, I have no wife to bother me. and I have plenty of friends. No one ever interferes with me. 1 never light a fire, and I never ask for money. When darkness comes on I put up my big umbrella, take my boots off, put my legs into a sack and cover myself up with clothing, on top of which 1 place this mackintosh." Few Very "Wealthy Ger.aaux.
