Simplest Business Principles.

The authorities OF Pieasanion, Kan

of Intoxicating liquor as beverage In
that municipality, but tn processes
both of selling and drinking are made

is not likely to flourish there. The city
ordinance on the subject provides that
all saloons must front o. Nam street,

times afford TO all persons passing on

In looking over the record of Kan
sas wo ind that the development of
the State has gone on with astonishing
rapidity, but during all the years of its
settlement its era of prosperity has not
been SO great as during the past twelve
months. There seems to have been .
new impetus given to the tide OF i'm
migration. and largo proportion of
that which was sweeping away to the
vast plains of the far Northwest has
been detected to the Southwest, and out
upon the fertile fields Of this product
i've State. The testimony Of hundreds
of correspondents who have settled in
Kansas, and have begun the tillage
of its virgin soil, as received by me, Is
that they have reaped far greater ad-
vantage than they could in any other
section OF the West, even with the great
inducements elsew here held out. This
is by no means written in tho spirit of
special or personal interes: in Kansas,
for the writer has no individual interest
in anything beyond the general good Of
the entire country-if q local pride in
Chicago may be expected-but he can
not ignore the fact OF the wonderful
and fairly startling advance which the
"bloody border" has made. Traffic in
lands, government and private, has set
afloat an increased volume of currency,
local trade has picked up, the crops have
been good, and for wheat the prices
particularly satisfactory. Farmers, in
vesting in moderate sized farms and
paying down nearly the total value Of
the same, find themselves comparative
Iy able to cope with the bugbear OF in
cumberance, and see their way to an
early relief from the financial burden.

The Duke Of Sutherland's Castle.

FROM
Standing with its ramparts and tow
ers on tho edge of the stormy North
Sea, Dunrobin completely fullfls the no
ton of castle. 1t is SO largo that as
many rs hundred guests have been put
up at the same time so far north as to
be twenty three good hours from Lon.
don and yet the life in it Is SO admira-
bly, organized As to combine all the
comforts and refinement OF Mayfa
with the keen invigorating air of the
hill and the sea. There is none of that
friction which sometimes makes the do
mestic machinery jar SO terribly. Every
thing seems to do itself without fuss or
effort, and every thing to produce itself
within the Dukes domain. A few
miles off is the Brora colliery, with its
little railway and little locomotive.
This produces all the coal for tho house,
in which, indeed, no other is allowed to
10 used. Behind tho house Is "the hill, y
peOpled with deer and grouse. The
house Is opened in tho autumn to many
notable persons. The charm of the
life ut Dunrobin is that the guests may
do exactly as they choose. The duke
often has out his private saloon carriage.
and coupling his private locomotive to
it, will himself drive tho party over the
Highland railway, possibly to Lairg, to
see somewhat of those two thousand
acres of land which he has plOughed,
stoned and reclaimed from peat-moss
and barren moor. The whole life is at
once stately and pleasant, for both the
duke and the duchess have art of COM
bining much dignity with unaffected
kindness and geniality.

Says the Colorado Farmer-"Prob-
ably none of the industries of the State
have progressed so favorably, and re-
turned such a percentage OF profits as
mas the rearing OF cattle and sheep, and
We might add, also, horses and hogs,
although the latter interests are indIf-
feron,ly developed. The returns for
cattle have been fully 80 per cent. net,
taking the business as whole. The
losses for the past year have been very
light, Though in certain limitthe losses
were very heavy last spring; bot the
grand results OF the whole State We're
very favorable. Prices the past season
were good. The crop of calves has been
extra large, and consequently the cattle
men are happy. To sum up the whole
business in a word, it is satisfactory"

A FABULOUS FORTUNE.
An'erican Heirs Entitled to a Vast
 sum in England,

NEW YORK, November --Ex-Gov- ernor W. r. Army (New Mexl sailed today for England in the Algeria to pros ecpte the claims of the heirs or the Hyde estates. The amount in question is variously estimated at from s100,O90,OO0 to S200000,0C0 and it is said that all that remains to be done is for toe heirs 10 prove their claims, but that this must be done before January Ist. There are 3S estates in the Bank of England which were decided in January last in the High Court of Chancery to belong to the heirs in the United States. The heirs few months ago incorporated themselves into the Hyde Associations and elected Y Den nisOn Morgan President. The money for many years has been held as belonging to the crown of Great Britain, under an old law. but the recent decision has caused reversion of the property to the American heirs who can prove their claims. There are branches of the family in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and on Long Island, but only such representatives as can give proof of their relationship will share in the money recovered. The con- test over this estate has been in progress 101 years, it being finally decided in fla vor of the heirs-the Courts holding that, while aliens could not recover real estate, they were entitled to personal property. EX Governor Army was the leader of the Free State party in the days of the Kansas trouble, and was connected with John Brown in the underground railroad transactions. He carries as a present to Queen Victoria crown made of minerals from the mines of New Mex ico and Arizona, the specimens including fine piece of turquoise, garnets, moss and white agatcs, gold and silver quartz, amethysts, jet and rubies, copper and 1O1u, 1uC dIS OH all ebony pedestal. MT Army also carries to the Queen blanket made by the Navajo Indians from sheep's wool on rude loom, and as a gift from Mrs Stewart, formerly Jane Army of England, silk patchwork quilt made by the donor, who is SS years old. The quilt contains 3,6S4 pieces of silk of all shades. It is inscribed To EEgland'S Queen, from faithful subject in America" Mr. Army also carries cabinet for the British Museum, contain ing thousand specimens ot various min erals, weighing in all five hundred pounds, some being from mines opened by Span- iards two hundred years ago, but aban- oOned IheIi, and not until recently re- opened.-Q iSSouTi Republican.

Fire and Waterproof Paper.

A fire and waterproof paperis prepared according to a recently published recipe as follows: Tbe basis of the paper is pulp composed of two-thirds paper pulp to one. third of asbestos pulp, prepared in a strong solution of common salt and all um. This mixture is put through the
 enrine and run off through Fourdrinicr
 The paper thus made is run through a bath of gumsbellac dissolved iD alcoho! or other solvent, and subsequently, through the finishing rolls. when It Is
 ready to be cut into sheets. The addltioh of salt and alum to the pulp is said to ada considerably to the strength of the p"Pc'' while it materially contributes to ils "'e- resistant qualities. The shellac g'''S u its water proof quality, rendering It q"i'e ;mnervious to moisture, while it does not seem to preyen a sufficient absorption ol ink when applied in the usual marner In printing or writing. The paper so pre- pared is recommended as of special value for account books, and public and other documents, sInce it is claimed that such books or documents exposed to the action of fire and water in a burniRg building will not be so far injured as to destroy their value.-Eng, 6 Jig.

Signals For Deep Mines,

T. A. Edison and Jesse H. Burnell, a New York electrician, are engaged in try ing to devise a system of signals between the lower levels of mine and the engi neer on the surface; also sending signals to the engineer from a cage while ascend ing a shaft. Mir. Edison is of the opInion that they will be able to do all that is re- quired. In the meantime l. E. James, su- perintendant Of the Yellow Jacket, propos- es plan which is apparently very simple and effective. His idea is to run gas pipe from top to bottom of the shaft, the upper end terminating in a microphone placed alongside the engIReer. On the side of the cage there is tobe carried iE suitable scabbard piece ofiron rod of convenient length, to be used in striking upon the gas pipe. Even now, without any micro phone or ether sounding arrangement,the miners are in the habit of signaling long distances upon the iron pipes through which compressed air is conveyed, by striking upoE them with hammer-Vir- ginjG ChronacSe, Nov. 22d.

It is regarded by the San Francisco BM- letip as doubtful if the Southern Pacific Railroad Company will build its road from Tucson into Mexico. Its idea is that it's main purpose is to make an eastern con- nectiOn with the Atchisun, Topeka and Santa FG Railroad. It says there is little doubt that the Southern Utah Railroad will finally be extended to the Colorado River. It is said that Jay Gould will build & section of one hundred and fifty miles of ;his road next year. If that road is eX- tended across the Colorado into Arizona, so much the better. The most important railroad advantage to be gained in the near future, is the completion of con- tinental railroad by way of Arizona and New Mexico to St. Louis. The second will be the completion of southern road by way of Forth Worth to Galveston and New Orleans. Then there will be the pushing of a road out into Northern Mexico. It is probable that these vari- ous enterprises will be completed in the order named, The question as to what particular company will bmld these roads is not half so important to the public as the fact that they will be built, and that sufficient progress has already been made to insure thelr construction almost beyond doubt-Ecenonaist
