FRIDAY. MCH. 21.
Senator Buckman appears
to have scared out all oppo­
nents in the congressional
race. ''Buck's" reputation
as a fighter evidently was too
much for the other fellows.
The Long Prairie Leader
means to be fair, and there­
fore it should correct the
statements made in a recent
issue regarding Judge Brue
ner. Mr. Bruener supported
the democratic ticket straight,
in 1900.* It is true that in
18% Mr. Bruener was not
supporting the national candi­
dates of the party, but he
came back into line afterward
with thousands of others who
had done the same. The mon­
ey question is not, it's true,
disposed of, but it is not now
thequestion,and it was but an
incidental one in the last
campaign. Let us stand by
our principles, but it will also
do no harm to exercise some
charity.
When John P. Altgeld died'
there passed away one of the
most maligned and most mis­
understood men in the United
States. Altgeld was so radi­
cal that he naturally evoked
antagonism. His soul revolt­
ed at injustice, and he could
not bear to see wrongs per­
petrated, without fierce pro­
test. He was intellectually
of a very high order, and his
career from the ,towpath to
the governor's chair, and the
infiuencs he wielded, shows
him to have been an extra­
ordinary man. When time
has softened or eradicated
the prejudices of the present,
justice will be done to him as
a great worker in the cause
of human libertv.
Ex-Postmaster Dura Corbin has
bought the machinery business, in­
cluding building and lot, of F. Gra­

in a large stock of implements,

Corbin will be resident agent for
Champion machinery. He is one of
the oldest residents of the county,
with a wide acquaintance and should
certainly do a successful business.

CATCH LOADS OF FISH.
Farmers of Michigan Discover Mil*
lions of tlie Finny Tribe
in a New Lake.
Farmers of Berrien county, Mich.,
near Glendora, are having a steady diet
of fish, the supply of fish being seem­
ingly inexhaustible. Two years ago
last spring, following the spring thaws,
Smith lake, three miles east of Glen*
dora, overflowed its banks. The re­
sultant stream passed through a val­
ley and ran into a small swamp just
west of Glendora. Last spring thou­
sands of small minnows that had been
carried by the overflowing water were
discovered in the new inland lake.
Two hunters who were parsing over
the new lake on the ice recently dis­
covered an airhole, through which
they saw scores of large fish. The
hunters in a few moments caught all
the fish they could carry and then hur­
ried to the village. The following
morning many citizens rushed to the,
lake and within two hours fully five
wagon loads of fish were taken out.
Pitchforks, potato hooks and shovels
are used by the farmers in their hur­
ried way to collect their full share of
the prize. Among the different spe­
cies caught were grass pike, black bass,
bullheads, suckers and pickerel. Many
of the latter weighed three pounds and
over.
Not Broken Up for Old Jnnk.
It has been learned, says the New
York World, that T. W. Lavvson's
yacht, Independence, which it was
stated had been ordered broken upand
sold for junk, is so broken up that she
can be put together at a moment's no­
tice. Its parts, are said to have been
carefully stowed away. Every frame,
every plate, in fact every part of In­
dependence, is numbered and their
storehouse is watched night and day.
Mr. Lawson's plans for the boat are un­
known.
Has Electric Lighted West.
The baya bird of India spends its
spare time catching mammoth fire­
flies, which he fastens to the side of
his nest with moist clay. On a dark
night the baya's nest looks like an
electric street lamp.
Kid boots and shoes may be beauti­
fully cleaned by dipping a little bit
of sponge in white of egg, to which
haf been added a little ink and a few
drops of oil, and rubbing well.
Some Facts Reardlag Direct Trade
Relations Between United States
and Southern France.
One of the features of the year 1901
in connection with the importation of
manufactures from the United States
to southern France has been that, for
the first time in the history of the
trade, direct importations have oc­
curred from the manufacturers to the
docks at Nice. Interested parties had
for some time been indicating that a
marked impetus would be given to the
trade by this means. It was pointed
out that the geographical position of
Nice was such that the harbor need
not depend upon the distributive cen­
ters, as was heretofore the case, nor
submit to the increased cost caused by
long railroad journeys, to the very con­
siderable profit of the middlemen. Di­
rect importation was noted of small
machinery, job and newspaper print­
ing presses, paper-cutting machines,
patent clasp envelopes, fine emboss­
ing card work and paper and orders
are now on the way for a number of
other manufactures. The result will
be that the list of United States arti­
cles figuring in the custom house re­
turns as importations will, it is esti­
mated, be doubled, if not trebled, in
1902. The final results of the inaugu­
ration of this direct trade can hardly
be realized yet, as the saving must cer­
tainly amount to not less than 33 per
cent. When it is said that goods may
be carried by sea on through bills of
lading from New York at about 25
shillings per ton, weight or measure­
ment, the source of great saving will
readily be perceived. If the saving of
commissions and middlemen's profits
be added, the enormous incentive to
trade that will result can be readily
understood.
Direct importation, inaugurated by
some of the consular officers of the
United States, appears to be the sys­
tem of commercial expansion of the
future.
SUES FOR CURIOUS FEE.
Strange Life of Miss Hall Who Mas­
queraded as a Man Comes Out
Through Legal Proceedings.
The story of the strange life of Miss
Caroline Hall, who died on the steam­
ship City of Turin last fall while com­
ing to America dressed as a rrnan to
obtain money from her father. John
Hall, of 26 Center street. Roxbury.
Mass.. has at last been made public.
Miss Giuseppina Horiani. who came, as
the "wife" of the supposed man on the
steamship, and who went back to
Milan. Italy, has returned to sue John
Hall for $3,600 for ten years' salary
as companion to his daughter and for
$200 loaned to the strange woman.
Miss Boriani is a handsome woman.
45 years old. She says she was under a
salary of $30 a month for ten years as
Miss Hall's companion, but was never
paid. She states that Miss Hall was
known as a woman when she entered
her service, but soon after abandoned
skirts for trousers, because she loved
hunting and was hampered by skirts.
"She frequently had men as her
guests on shooting trips." said Miss
Boriani, "and she was the best hunts­
man of the set. She lived the life of a
man about town in Milan, and drank
and smoked with men in cafes. Her
friends knew she was a woman, but
others did not."
HER DREAM BROUGHT LEGACY
How Mrs. Jennie Cannon Secured
Small Sum of Money "Which Had
Been Left to Her.
A dream was worth $520 to Mrs. Jen­
nie Cannon, a former resident of Sioux
Falls, S. D.. but who now lives at Min­
neapolis. Mrs. Cannon is the daugh­
ter of Austin Carson, a farmer living
in Minnehaha county, S. D. Some
years ago she left home and was mar­
ried and living in Duluth. A couple of
children were born and. gradually she
dropped off all her correspondence. It
was not long before her relatives in
South Dakota began to think she was
dead. In the meantime Ole Ostensen
had died, leaving her a legacy. Search
was made for her by the administra­
tors of the estate, but without suc­
cess. Then came the dream. Mrs.
Cannon dreamed that her father was
sick unto death. The dream was so
vivid and impressed her to such an
extent that she wrote him a letter
of inquiry. The answer to her letter
was the news that she was entitled
to a portion of the money left by Os­
tensen. Mrs. Cannon at once went
to Siofix Falls with her children and
secured the monev.
Wants to Apologize for 1779.
David Christie Murray, the novelist
and. playwright, has written a letter
to the London Daily Chronicle with
reference to the Anglo-American com­
mittee, which was inaugurated under
the presidency of the duke op Suther­
land at Stafford house a couple of
years ago, to promote an entente cor
diale, but which has since remained
dormant and is now sending circulars
to its members asking them to assist
in a platform propaganda. Mr. Mur­
ray thinks that all impartial English­
men have for a century past regretted
the blunder which led to the war. He
says: "We owe it to ourselves by all
the means open to a brave and honor­
able race to repair and atone for the
folly of ancestors."
Tallest Giant Loses Feet.
Constantin, said to be the tallest
giant in the would—eight feet three
inches in height—will never again be
seen on the exhibition platform.
Owing to spontaneous decay of the
flesh both of his feet were ampu­
tated the other day in one of the
Orleans hospitals of Parts. Con­
stantin was a great favorite with the
dime museum public in America.
SHOWS MARKED IMPETUS. SCARED BY STRANGE BEAST.
Virginia Farmers Alarmed by
Monster Which Has Its Iteinge
in the Dismal Swamp.
Another monster has come forth
from the dismal swamp jungles, and
is spreading alarm among farmers
around Driver, 12 miles from Suffolk,
Va. Last week an unclassifie.d ani­
mal not indigenous to high lands ter­
rorized residents of Pleasant Hill so
that they were afraid to leave home
at night. After being chased by
numerous armed posses this beast
was killed by Harrison Walker, a
colored hunter.
Now Edward Smith, a farmer of
Driver, says that a strange being vis­
ited his premises and killed seven
dogs, two of which were eaten, while
the other five were mutilated. An­
other dog took refuge under a barn,
and Smith, hearing the dog's yells,
went out with a pistol. The mon­
ster sprang upon him. Smith fell,
and the beast tore his clothing to
shreds. He finally beat it off, but
the revolver, being corroded, would
not fire.
Whit Walker, of the same neigh­
borhood, says the animal visited his
home, too. From Smith's descrip­
tion the animal is larger than a
wolf, with shaggy, yellow hair, long
head and sunken eyes. It is gaunt
and vicious.
People are wondering what will
next come from the unexplored
swamp made famous by Tom Moore's
verses. The more superstitious re­
gard the visitation as supernatural,
and families are having much trouble
with their servants.
FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY.
Eastern Pastor Outlines the Grounds
on Which the Hope of Years Ka^
Be Realized.
In his sermon at the Collegiate
church, New York city, Dr. Donald S.
Mackay, talking on "A Plea for Chris­
tian Unity," expressed the belief that
this goal can be reached only along
the line of interdenominational co­
operation. It is a dream, he said, that
all Christendom can be made one in
creed, doctrine and ceremonial. The
former plan, however, he considers
feasible, and he presented in his ser­
mon a bais on which he thought it
could be accomplished.
"At no time has there been such a
yearning for a united Christendom as
to-day. The reformation of the Twen­
tieth Century—if we live to see it—
will be based on the sanctification of
collectiveism, and one of its dominant
features will be unity of churches.
"First of all, we must do away with
the competition between churches. If
there is anything destructive to spir­
itual life, it is such competition. It
removes the central idea of the
prayer, 'Thy Kingdom Come,'—every
time it is said—from Christ, who ought
to be the center, to some particular
denomination."
Dr. Mackay gave the following con­
ditions as being essential to the con­
summation of Christian unity: Mu­
tual recognition, mutual forbearance,
mutual service and mutual prayer:
LADIES TO GIVE DOG SHOW.
Will Precede Coronation of King
and American Women Are
Expected to Exhibit.
Amid all the public functions and
exhibitions to take place immediately
before the coronation, not the least
interesting will be the annual open-air
show of the Ladies' Kennel association
in the Botanical gardens at Regents'
park, London. The-queen is a patron
of this association, and takes as much
interest in its welfare to-day as she
did when princess of Wales. The La­
dies' Kennel association is the only
woman's club with which the queen
is connected. The show this year will
be held on June 12,13 and 14. It prom­
ises to surpass all previous ones and
to be rather international in charac­
ter, as several American ladies, who
are coming over to London at that
time, have communicated with the of­
ficers in regard to the exhibition of
dogs. It is thought there will be lit­
tle difficulty in arranging for tins oc­
casion a modification of the present
restrictions on bringing dogs into
England. In fact, it is understood that
steps have already been undertaken
with this purpose in view.
TELLS ABOUT THE OKAPI.
Prof. Lankester Lectured Before
Royal Institution on the Recent­
ly Discovered Animal.
Prof. Bay Lankester, director of the
natural history department of the
British museum, lectured at the Roy­
al institution in London the other even­
ing on the okapi. a*new mammal dis­
covered in Central Africa.
Sir Harry Johnston drew attention
to the absence of secondary hoofs and
anj'thing like a horn and
also to the
curious fact that the canine teeth in
the lower jaw bifoliate, the giraffe be­
ing the only other known animal to
have this peculiarity. The extinct hel
ladotherium with which the okapi was
originally compared differed too much
to justify placing them in the same
genus, though doubtless they we're
nearly related.
It was scarcely possible to decide
whether the okapi was primitive in be­
ing hornless or whether its ancestors
had horns and had lost them. Per­
sonally lie thought the okapi never had
horns.
Might Feel Worse If They Did.
The New York doctor whom the
vivisectionists refuse to vivisect, as
it were, feels awfully cut up, says
the Chicago Tribune, over their de­
cision.
Council Meeting.
At a council meeting Friday night
Jameson & Kosobucki were granted
a liquor license, with B. Gadola and
C. H. Graham sureties.
It was decided to get lumber frotn

bers to catch and remove the stone
dost at the crusher works, he to pay
50 cents per ton for same, and not
to interfere with the operation of
the crusher.
The council met again Wednesday
of this week to canvass the e'ection
returns.
The barn oi Ignatz Kiebord, living
about eight miles west of the city,
