for fortnight, died in consequence Of

The above is not the only deed of
cruelty with which this Burgomaster,
Stepan Filatjewitsch Puschkarento, has
lately distinguished himself. Within
the last week or two he ordered two in
habitants of Kagalnik, Wolkowski and
Woroschento by name, to receive one
hundred strokes and forty strokes re-
spectively with cane for quite insie-
ficant offenses. Maljawtschenko, Poe-
nirybko and Lysehko, three members
of the local council, and the Tax-eath-
erer Fisenko, were also bound by his
orders to the public pillory, their faces
being hideously masked and books
placed in their hands. In this position
they remained for full TWENTY-FIVE
hours. Kornej Swellitschuy, eighty
years old, was bound to the pillory for
four hours for insulting one Of the Bur-
gomaster's grandchildren, and a cash
tered officer was kept there for six
hours. Berlin Cor. London Standard.

How Silver Ore is Sold ut Leadville.

The business of buying and selling
ores in camp like this, when the out
put of the mines is so immense and the
value in dollars SO great, has been re-
duced to science, and is by no means,
as many have supposed, dependent
upon the fair dealing and honesty of
the mill men, who generally are the
purchasers. The large mining corpora
tons and wealthy individual owners of
productive properties have their own
assayers as well as their own scales at
the mines. So far as practicable, SINH
lar ores from the different pay streaks
are piled together for shipment, under
the distinguishing titles of hard car
Donates, iron, dark sand, gray sand
and many other varieties of ore. The
assayer makes frequent assays for the
purpose of keeping a general knowledge
of these separate kinds of ore, yet such
assays are not the basis upon which
sales are made, owing to the fact that
such samples may be either too high or
too low for the bulk of such lots, and
the correct sampling must be arrived at
by the process customary at the sam
ping works of reserving so many
pounds at regular intervals, out of a
given weight of ore, as it is being
crushed. This system gives approxi-
mately the true value of the bulk of ore
to ascertain which is equally to the in
terest of the buyer and seller. Samples
from these bulk samples are assayed by
the mill men and by the owners, and if
The ounces closely tally, the price to be
paid is arrived at. If too great varia-
tons occur, the assays are made over
again until they do agree. The owner
of ore, knowing the cost Of milling and
marking ore, is as well able to deter
mine what the mill man can afford to
pay as the mill man himself, and thus
there is full and complete satisfaction
and confidence existing between the
sellers and buyers of ore in this camp.
The weight of each ton of ore is made
to tally almost to pound. by allowing
for the unavoidable light waste in haul
ing, and it is very seldom that disputes
arise on this point. ReUeille.

An Intelligent Young Man.

A YOUNG man gets on the train and
seats himself opposite me. He wears
flame-colored kids, and poodle dog.
Now, l do not object to a man wearing
any kind or color of kids, but, love Of
the angels, how do hate poodle dog.
The young man holds the poodle in his
lap, smooths out the blue ribbon around
its neck, placidly strokes his own
whiskers, and languidly stares at me.
AS look at them l notice how much
they look alike. Twins, perhaps.
As I think the thought, the dog snarls
and barks an indignant denial. Pres

INDUSTRIAL.

The wool transactions in Connecti-
cut this year have been larger than for
any preceding year for a decade back,
the sales for one week in Hartford re-
Gently amounting to 100000 pounds.
The price has advanced fully twenty
five per cent. since April last.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
proposes to build new coal cars that
are intended to carry about twenty
tons, larger than any that have been in
use heretofore, being about six inches
higher than the hopper gondolas rail-
road men are at present SO familiar
with.
SCISSORS, which are still made in
Sheffield, Eng. by tedious hand pro-
cess, are made at one stroke of die in
Connecticut. Hence Sheffield is send
ing large quantities of steel blanks to
this country to be struck off, repacked
and returned to England, where they
are finished and come to us again for
sale as Sheffield ware.
GENERAL GRANTS visit to San Fran
cisco had the effect of stimulating some
of the business interests there. Some
of the journals of the coast regard it as
a financial blessing to the city. For the
Sharon reception one jewelry firm sold
$26, 900 worth of goods. The dry goods
houses, dressmakers and tailors reaped
a rich harvest. The dresses and gems
at the Croker reception were estimated
at $5,OOO,OOO.
WHILE parties were boring for Pc
troleum in the Santa Cruz Mountains,
CAL, an abundant flow was found, equal
to 100 barrels per day. The oil when
first struck spurted 100 feet above the
surface, and 100 barrels went to waste
before facilities for saving it could be
provided. Large sums of money have
been expended during the last ten years
in searching in these mountains for
petroleum, and the late strike will
stimulate increased activity in the
work.
The trade in sea-shells is principally
in the hands of single Philadelphia
firm, who recently received a cargo of
twenty thousand of what are termed the
common conches," and which whole
sale at five to six dollars per hundred.
They are brought from the Bahamas at
very cheap rate, as they make excel
lent ballast. The shells are gathered by
negroes, who fish them out of the
water with long poles. The "queen
cOnch'' is a much rarer shell, and has to
be dived for. The wholesale price is
about twenty dollars per hundred: At
all inland places the shells are in great
demand.

Torture i'm Russia.

The St. Petersburg Ssyn Otetschest,ca
(Anglice, Son of the F'atterlandD con-
tains the following accounts of revolt
ing instances of tyranny, of which the
village of Kagalnik, in Southern Rus
STA, was recently the scene. An inhab-
liant of that place, one Philip Kabalt-
schenko, an infirm man of sixty, was
summoned on the goth of September
before the Burgomaster and asked if
he had brought balance of certain
taxes that were due. Kabaltschenko,
bowling to the earth, begged for time as
he had no means whatever of paying.

he added, II will pay ALL" "Wait,
you old dog" shouted the Burgomast-
er, Il will find a way of squeezing the
money from you. > Bind him
to the post.
In the twinkling of an eye two Of
ficials seized the trembling old man,
bound him to strong post in the court
yard and fastened his arms with ropes
to his back, the Burgomaster looking
on.
"Now, old beast,' he cried to the
old man, who was bareheaded and mo-
tionless, twill you pay your taxes?'
"Christ is my Witness" was the re-
ply, 81 have not a single copeck."
"Then you will remain where you
are.''
"Set me free, for the love of God;
NV wife and children are furnishing at
home.''

II am fainting," groaned the poor
wretch in a scarcely audible voice.
"My lads" said the tyrant upon
this, "give him shower bath.
The officials obeyed by pouring two
cans of cold water upon the fainting
man, which restored him to conscious
ness.
"Now unbind him. commanded the
tyrant, land take him for walk
through the Streets"
This having been done the Burgo-
master ordered him to be fastened to
the public pillory, where he was kept
for the whole night. Police were sta
toned on the spot to prevent compass
sionate passers-by from offering him a
piece of bread or a glass of water. Dur

ALMOST every orchard in Southern
California and every ornamental garden
has several banana trees. The famous
Wolfskill orchard, at Los Angeles con-
tains large number. In the courtyard
of the PicO House there are few indi-
vidual specimens. The banana may be
seen growing all through the San Ga
briel valley and the entire country
around the City of the Angels. The
tree, however, appears to be cultivated
more for its superb ornamentation and
foliage than for any anticipation that it
NAV in the near or distant future be
made source Of profit.

A GREAT smoker is the Bishop of
Melbourne, Australia. His flock know
it, and like him for his devotion to his
"short black clay pipe" One of the
newspapers of his parish, the South

Bishop, good luck to him, likes his
pipe, and knows full well that by step
ping off an artificial pedestal and taking
his manly stand shoulder to shoulder
with his fellows he has achieved
a sympathetic influence far beyond
that Of any priest or prelste in

LAST Thursday morning George
Ficklin was gobbled by SheriffBovee
at Sioux Point for horse stealing.
The young man, if reports be true, is
the author of a number of thefts,
but he looks through the bars for
stealing r. II. Libby's horse on the
23rd of September, which he sold to
Turgeon Solem, of Sphinx Township.
Ficklin is also charged with stealing
Harris Snyder's horse, but as Mr..
Snyder was absent at Sioux City
the day of the preliminary eNami-
nation, he could not appear against
him, and the action was dismissed;
| but the evidence in the last case is
pretty strong. In the former case
he is undoubtedly the right party,
although all men are supposed to
be innocent until they are proven
guilty. He is a young man OF more
than ordinary intelligence, sharp
looking, married and the father of
q small child. We understand that
he has a brother in the penitentiary,
and some years ago his father was
arrested for incest. The family rec
ord is not the best, and no doubt the
young man in our county Jail will
winter in Detroit. Court convenes
on the Doth of November, at which
time he will be tried.

SANITARY.-We wish to call the
attention of our citizens to the SAM
tary condition of our city. 1t is not
good at the present time. In view
of that malignant and life destroy
ing disease, diphtheria, which has
been raging in communities all
about us for the past month, and
which has finally made its appear
ance in our midst, the people of this
city should wake up to a realizing
sense of the danger of allowing filth
of any description around their
premises. There are pivy vaults,
throwing off vile and offensive odcrs,
dccaying manure piles and vegetable
matter in various parts OF our city,
the very highest type of disease
breeding material, that should at
once be attended to. One of the
best disinfectants, which can be pro-
cured without expense, is common
dry wood ashes. See to it at once,
that all filth and vie decaying mat
ter is eradicated from your premises
and a liberal supply of ashes are
sprinkled in your priyy vaults and
other places where it is needed.
Protect the life and health Of your
children, yourselves and your neigh

From data at hand we IAN safely
say that the crowd in Elk Point on
the 10th VIII far exceed any gather
ing ever held in southeastern Dako-
ia. Letters from all directions, far
and near, announce the coming of
soldiers and spectators by hundreds
to take part in the exercises. The
outlook for a good time never was
better. Hundreds Of old soldiers
will go into camp, do foraging as of
yore when gobbling southern pigs
and chickens, and live over the
Genes of other days. The day
throughout will be a type of what
the boys did during the war. The
battle, the storming of the fort, the
cavalry charges, the marches and
infantry movements, the booming OF
artillery, roar of musketry, music by
the bands, and other warlike things
will be the attractions of the day.
and none can afford to miss it.
