Sharp Superintendent of Public Schools. . .Troy Shelley Coroner William Michell The difficulty to arouse enthusiasm - for Mr. Blaine at this time is significant. The' general public looks upon him as a nick man. It would be impossible to convince the ordinary voter that Mr. . Blaine would bo able to perform the duties of the presidential office and di rect republican party affairs. His can didacy would excite .apprehension that the men who are now pushing him into the race would control him should he bo elected president. There is danger that he would be regarded as the candidate of a certain set of men and not of the whole party. Another thing that would be unfortunate for 'Mr. Blaine, and his candidacy: Being suspected -of ill health and feebleness, he would be re quired to make a more convincing dis play of pbysicial vigor than would be exacted of a well man. He would have to be visible to all inquisitive persons. Committees visiting from anywhere would take along a local physician to ex amine Mr. Blaine's health and bodily condition. Besides. Mr. Blaine wonld have to o ull manner of physical feats and put in at least eight hours a day at his desk. And then there would still be people who would say ho was on the verge of the grave. A campaign of this sort would not be pleasing to republi cans. It is not the sort of a campaign patriotic citizens like to engage in. If would be unfortunate for Mr. Blaine himselt tp be nominated under such con ditions. Last year Argentine bought from us " 2,820,035 worth o wearing apparel, Machinery, fnrnitnre, canned goods and other manufactured . articles, and we Jxjught from that country products to the value of (5,976,544, mostly in wool ; and hides. That is a country that we ought to draw very close to in trade re - latione, because it is peopled with a race that is bound to grow richer and richer i . i . c . . .

Among ner people Argentine has 80,000 strong men from the United Kingdom ; English, Scotch and Irish. They are enough to give direction to the commerce and trade of that country.

Arrangements are being made to work the coal mines of Alaska -this year and .'to begin extensive gold mining. That is a good deal of a country. When Sec retary Seward bought it, the opposition jpress to the administration declared . it was money thrown away, but the seals have paid back that purchase-money and the interest on it, and for the twenty years preceding 1890 more than $60,000, 000 worth of products were shipped out of that country to the lower states of the republic. The possibilities are il will be the best gold-producing country in the union, and in the world, in the next few years; there is no. end to its timber; its fisheries are something that will grow immensely year after year; while it is said that the air blowing over the warm currents which lave that shore make it a better place to winter in than the east shore of Maine. It was a wise boy when Alaska was taken in. , It is claimed that the practice of saw ing off the liorns of grown cattle is being superseded by preventing the growth of horns with, the John March Chemical Dehomer, applied to the embryo horn of the three-days-bid calf. The horn never having become a part of the ani mal thus treated in infancy, future gen erations do not grow horns more than in naturally polled animals. Sheep are also treated successfully. With this easy, safe and 'cheap remedy. atockerowera should cease to grow horns at the risk of human and aminaV life, at. the cost of more shed room, more feed," more car room in shipping, loss by hides torn and flesh bruised, loss by screw worms at tacking wonttds, loss of nutrition neces sary to grow horns, loss by the i - stronger tormenting the weaker. Horns ought to become m thing of tho past, v ' , i It is said that the man who" composed "Annie Jiooney received 414,000 lor it. This is remarkable, but not nearly so strange as that the man'' should reveal his identity and confess. '- 4t '" HORRID BEDFELLOWS TARANTULAS CRAWL ALL OVER A i ; ' SLEEPING TRAVELER. . 'A Tired Cauuper Who Awoke One Morn ing to reel a Poinonoua Reptile Ex . plorlng RIk Aautomr. Wliile Another j Made a, lied or the Man's Upright Hair. I Joseph Grandehnyer, a well known fcnining man of Nevada, has passed through many startlingexperiences dur ing a residence of twenty-eight years in the far west, but is perhaps the only roan who can boast of having had' a found baker's dozen of deadly tarantulas for bedfellows . and surviving the terri ble experience without material injury. It happened a number of years ago, but even now it causes cold shivers to chase np Mr. Grandelmyer's spinal column ,when bis mind reverts to that particular ev?irt However, surrounded by a cir cle of friends at the Palace hotel a few evenings since, he was induced to relate the incident. . . . ' . ! "In 1864 1 came, to San Francisco. 1 said the gentleman, and with , the hope fulness of youth determined to make my fortune. . 1 had a little money saved up, but was a raw tenderfoot, and whatever 1 put my money into failed to pan out. Finally 1 concluded to strikeout for Ne vada, ft was a new section of country then, that had. been explored to a very, limited extent, and when 1 made known my intention many and urgent were the requests for mo to refrain from being so foolish as to encounter dangers in such a wild and almost unknown country. "Nothing daunted, however, and not allowing myself to be dissuaded from my purpose, one day in the summer of 1864, after inducing three acquaintances to join me, 1 set out for the land of sage brush. My particular object in 'going was to better my fortune by any method I could. Two of the party were pros pectors, and the fourth, a Dr. Heath, went along to spy out a good location for a hog .ranch. . "WelL after crossing the' Sierras at Walker's pass, we found ourselves in Owen's valley, which is now in' Inyo county. Dusk was approaching.' and when, after riding a distance in the teeth of a cold wind, we found onrselves at a deserted adobe hut by the roadside we halted, unpacked and unpaddled our animals, and prepared to camp for the night. A TERRIBLE A WAKENING. There was feed for the horses in abun dance, and while one staked them out the others began preparations for supper and made the beds ready. My friends preferred sleeping under a large oak tree near, but 1 chose a spot adjoining the old adobe house. Vhere I spread my blankets close to the ' wall where the wind would not reach ine. After a hasty nieal-we all retired to our respective beds on the ground and readily dropped off to sleep. , "I presume it was within an hour of daybreak when I awoke with a sudden Btart. A peculiarly dreadful . feeling, worse than any nightmare, took posses sion of me. I felt paralyzed and was hfrnid to stir. There was somethina; moving on my face. It was not a large object, but as it moved abont the trail left seemed to scorch my face. I felt the thing traverse my face from the left eye down over my nose 'and month. Then it crossed to the other side and ex plored in the region of my ear. Theu it was gone. i i sucw ii was .not a snaxe gnaing over my face, but some animal, much smaller, though what it was 1 was utter ly, unable to conjecture. I was wide awake, of course, but such an uncom fortable horror held me fast that I was unable to move a muscle and gazed help lessly up at the .stars. Once .1 tried to call out to my companions, but not a sound could 1 muster. 1 lay there rigid as a log, maybe for one minute, maybe for five, when 1 again knew that the same thing, or something like it, was on Iny hand, which rested outside the blan ket, and a cold chill ran np my arm and through my whole body. Still 1 was absolutely powerless to move a limb, and involuntarily closed my eyes, almost ex pecting to feel them closed in death, so dreadful and indescribable was the sen sation. - A HOR&IBUS SUSPENSE. 'Next 1 knew "it was climbingAip over my throat, then to my chin and about my nose. . An irresistible impulse caused me to open my right eye, and 1 paw by the dim light the fiery eyes of a big tarantula looking into mine, with Us hairy body on my face, not two inches nwayt : - ' ' "Knowing that death or at least pain' ful injury might result if 1 moved my body, 1 immediately dropped the eyelid and had the satisfaction of feeling the sprawling spider crawl over that eye to joy forehead and into my hair, where it prepared A nest and finally settled down, no doubt as snugly as a bug in a rug. jYon may think ytra can imagine my feelings, but yon cannot. For a. full half hour, 1 should judge, i endured all the ospense and torment that comes to most mortals in a lifetime, and allowed another spider to slowly crawl np my leg, not knowing at what time I would feel those black fangs sink into my flesh, i "But, thank- God, that did not hap pen, or I should probably not now be alive. Ages after that, so it seemed, jDr. Heath arose, ana, after dressing, came to see if I - was awake. I whis pered ' to 'hxat the 'particulars of ray plight, and in my hair, which had been standing on end for 1 don't know how jleag, he discovered and at one killed tm eftfce tarantulas, as immense fel Sew, folly three inches long. Carefully farming back the blankets and examin ing; me, he found twelve others that had rmdoubtodlr songhf; mf quarters fer warmth. These he quickly but quietly .dispatched in a manner not to alarm the others. When the strain y was over 1 fainted and was delirious wrfh brain fever for many days. Since then, yon rraay. depend .upon .it, I have always "taken good, care in the selection of a camping-spot, for of all the bedfellows tone can encounter one of the most terri- is - a "tarantula. " Ben Fsaocievo Rheumatism Cured in Three Days. Miss Grace Littlejohn is a little girl, aged eleven years, residingin Baltimore, Ohio. Bead what she says: . "I? was troubled with rheumatism for two years, but could get nothing to do ine any good. I was so helpless' that I bad to be carried like a babe when I was advised to get a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I got it from our druggists, Mr. J. A. Kuinber, and in three days I was up and walking around. I have not felt any return of it since and my limbs are limber as they ever were." 50 cent bot tles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton druggists.
