A LIVE TOWN.
What We Saw While on n Visit to
Eden.

What We Saw While on n Visit to
Eden.
A visit to Eden inspires one with the
belief that a good set OF business men have
built up town that will always draw a
fair trade, and may in time become a
place Of importance. The location is good
and should the water power become fully
developed'there is no reason why import
ant manufactures should not be establish
ed. A call at the several stores found the
proprietols all satisfied with their lot,
seemingly in prosperous condition.
W. E. Jones is doing nice business in
the furniture trade, all of which he is just
ly entitled to-
W. K. Slade & Go. are doing lively
business in their line. T. w. Knight, the
junior partner, since he got new KIT of
timers tools is catching on in good
shape.
s. B. Culbertson is still at his old stand.
Overseth & Dyste are capturing a good
trade
NJ. B. Quint is alive and wide awake at
his calling.
Myron Odell presides at the only drug
store now in Eden He reports the bust
ness gaining.
Capt. Bridgeman, the live and wide
awake real estate agent, is doing a fine
business. Success to the Captain, as he
is man after our own heart.
Theodore Frame, the proprietor of the
Snyder house, whom we have known for
years, and by the way is right royal fel-
low, reports his business improving in a
very satisfactory manner
Buck Wheelock is completely fatigued
as clerk of the recent trial before the i'm
maculate j. E. Warner. who presided
over the trial Of Lund, Peters g. Co. in a
manner satisfactory to all parties
S. ?. Hartzell, the cattle buyer, is do
ing lively business. He buys all kinds
of stock, paying therefor the highest mar
ket price.
Mr. W. Z. Burnham, proprietor of the
Bank of Eden, has gained many friends
and is doing a good business.
A. Snyder is still at Eden, working up
customers at his profession
Frazier Gilman is said to have one of
the best water powers outside of Sioux
Falls. We have closely examined it, and
pronounce it big success. Mr.. Gilman
has been faithfully at work on the improve
ments for the past six months, and has
several very tempting offers to rent or lease
the valuable property He starts for the
east in January.
The Commercial hotol, with l.. L. Far
ley as landlord, has gained an enviable
reputation and receives a good share of
the hotel business.
A visit to the residence Of Hon. a. B.
Wheelock will find him the big hearted,
whole souled model farmer that he has
the record of being.
We found Jimmy Hanson (the Eden
representative of our city jeweer, a. +.
Robinson) with fine stock OF jewe, ,ry and
holiday goods and as busy as ever. jim

Some Facts for the Eastern DakOtninn
to Consider.

Some Facts Tor the Eastern D0kOt01On
to Consider.
Black Hills Journal.
1t IS possible the influence of the peo-
pie of eastern Dakota, together with such
aid as they may enlist upon the outside
may succeed in deferring for time the
opening of the reserve. Should such be
the case, the day is not far distant when
they will realize that they have severely
hurt their own interests. 1t would be in
jusice and temporary injury to us, but it
would be permanent injury to them. The
opening of the reserve involves more than
a mere statement OF the proposition i'm
plies. One of it's greatest results would
be the building of lines of rail to this coun-
try directly from the Missouri river. This
would be of great Importance to US, but
not Of greater importance than to those
who occupy the treeless plains of eastern
Dakota We now produce in the Black
Hills country an abundance of every nee
essary, and with several good freight roads
connecting with as many lines of rail and
converging here, there is no fear of a
scarcity of luxuries. But we have more:
We have a great surplus OF the things
that eastern Dakota lacks-fuel and lum-
ber. The one item of coal or other fuel
supply most seriously engages the atten-
ton of the eastern Dakota homesteader.
One or two lines of rail between this coun-
try and the Missouri river would insure
a supply ofgood coal adequate to all de-
mands and at price much lower than it
is now obtained. The people of northern
Nebraska, who inhabit a country also lack
ing lumber and fuel, hope to see the Sioux
City & Pacific extended to this country in
order to supply these wants: and the indi-
cations are that this will be done. The
Sioux City & Pacific will tap this country
without being compelled to await the open
ing of the reserve. The lines now resting
at the Missouri will not extend further un-
til the reserve is opened. The Sioux City
& Pacific will thus not only supply the
people southeast of here with cheap lum-
ber and fuel but will, unless the reserve
be opened and the other lines extended,
control the entire Black Hills trade. It's
surely short sighted policy that prompts
eastern Dakotaians to oppose the opening
of thereserve. The time will come when
they will understand this, and clamor as
loudly for the opening of the reservation,
and consequent railroad extension as we
have in the past.

An Arkansas writer is amazed at the
number of persons in his state who
have absolutely and persistently re-
sisted every effort at progress. He
adds that in Southern and Southeastern
Arkansas are hundreds of farm houses
that have not yet had cooking stove,
and that a railroad surveyor tells him
of many farmers who have set their
faces resolutely against railroads, on
the ground that the locomotives would
scare the game out Of the country. A
reporter who was recently in Arkansas
saw farmer who was trying to sell
out because railroad is to be built
within thirty miles Of his farm.

Hymn TinkerinH.

Mr.. Jones was getting up grand
musical performance by his choir on an
anthem he had composed to the words
of one of Watts Psalms. The first
verse ends with the splendid words:
o, may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound.
Jones came to Dr. Hatfield to get his
approval of change of these lines so
as to read:
O, may my heart be tuned within.
Like David's sacred violin.
We can see the cute and sunny smile
of the Doctor as he heard the new
version. But he said he could improve
even that, and he wrote to the amaze
ment of Jones':
o, may my heart go diddle, diddle,
Like unto David's sacred fiddle.
Jones sung the song according to
Watts.-NeW York Observer.

Good News for North CaroIinIans
Sorghum Sugar Manufac-

The Champaign Sugar Works, Cham
palgn, ILL.,, were the first large sorghum
augar works ever started in the United
States. They have ground the cane this
season raised on about | 900 acres of land,
and the result Is a perfect success ia the
way OF making a first class quality of
sugar that polarizes at O. degrees, and il
much sYeeter than sugar made from cane
or beet root. For years experiments
have been made to find out some way to
change sorghum strip into sugar. The
attempts were unsuccessful up TO last
year, when the State OF Illinois offered a
bounty 10 any Que who would succeed in
granalating the sirup into sugar. Ex-
periments made at the State University
Of Illinois, In Campaign, by Professors
Weber and Scovell, succeeded in accom-
plishing the result. a ready sale Is found
for all the sugar and sirup made, and the
success here viii cause a large number Of
sugar works TO he erected all over the
West, for sorghum al will grow where
corn can be raised, and where farmers
can make 50 an acre IN raising corn
they can realize $50 an acre in raising
sorghum cane to sell to these factories.
The result Of this discovery is likely 70
make a. great . change II this country
as the making Of beet sugar has IN
Europe. where to-day two-thirds Of all
the sugar in the world is made. Out OF
a total production Of three million tons
France, Belgium, and Germany produce
two million tons. The Champaign Sugar
Works have introduced all the modern
Improvements. The machinery, boiler,
and vacuum pans were made by the At
.antic Works in Brooklyn. \. i. They
use both the Weston anI Hcpworth cen
trifugals. The sugar cane trash called
'bagasse' Is carried on conductors direc
tty :rofr the grinding mill and dropped
INTO the furnaces in its green, wet state.
The boilers are set withthe Jarvis patent
furnace, and hot air is discharged directly
over the fires, i%gDiting the gases genera
ted by the burning fuel. The intense
heat made by Joining the gases with hot
air Is said to cause the green crushed
cane or bagasse to burn very well, on
sometimes the same principal as tanners
