Summer has become winter around

Of them, and it broods close about their

yonder shining in the far sun! The eye
wanders down from its dizzy hight to
the upper SHOWS, the fantastic form of
ice, lower still the tall, serried, basaltic
columns, against which grinds this un-
spent giant, filling the space between
us with its dead. But it is impossible
to describe the effect of the spectacle.
Bent on examining it more closely, we
went on beyond the shelves, clambered
over an immense avalanche at the end
of the moraine, crossed at its head un-
der the glacier, avoiding the rocks it
rained at us, aad assembled its southern
side. We now ascertained that the
glacier proceeds from a lateral spur on
the mountain; that its color is due to
the clay with which the ice is melted at
this season Of the year, and that its
wet, brown surface is not ii smooth
skin, but scanned and wrinkled and
torn apart here and there, showing the
solid ice in countless fractures and fis-
sures. Climbing along its slippery
sides by their various projections to the
summit, we see that its roof is split into
similar cracks and even great chasms,

The building is of brick, 135x153,
and has eighteen exhibition rooms
besides the necessary offices, etc.
The ground plan herewith will
measurably show the scope of this
ambitious enterprise.
1t is impossible to give briefly an
adequate idea Of the details of the
exhibited ; as a help, however, to
the proper understanding of the
same, it will be we'll to know that
each of the twelve smaller rooms, COX
80, will be as large as any apartment
in the St. Louis Art Exhibition, the
latter having but four all told.
Several of these in the Detroit Art
Loan are occupied by single exhibit
tors, whose collections, in some
cases, will be of at least 81 50, 900 in
value. Such citizens of Detroit as
the Hon. James F. Joy, General R.
A. Alger, Senator Palmer, Mr.. James
Mcmillan, together with Mr.. Hurl-
burt, of Clevelane, and many of his
friends, are fully identified with the
work, and their choicest treasures
will be placed on exhibition. Among
the articles of special interest will be
fine painting sent as gift from
Pope Leo XII, at Rome, with his
blessing upon it and the Loan, bit
of gold and silver embroidery once
belonging to Queen Elizabeth, an
tique bronzes from Commander
Goringe, who brought the obelisk to
New York, and Cyprian antiquities
from General de Cesnola, many ele-
CANT silk textile fabrics, costly laces,
curiosities almost without number,
exquisite etchings and water colors,
IA room full of each); more than
twenty fine marble statues form a
single feature of the exhibit.
The various railroad and steam
boat lines have decided upon offer
ing excursion tickets at extremely
low rates.

The best interests of humanity depend
on the good health of our women folks,
and yet those with brightest intellects
seem to suffer most with ailments peculiar
to female life. 1t is well to remember
that whole female system can be built up

sores, swollen limbs, monthly pains, and
other indications of female disease; made

Eastern Excursions.

The Jamestown Capital has started a
boom in favor of excursions to the east
during the winter months. and the idea
seems to meet approval along the line.
Says the Capital:
"There is no question that a large
number Of people who are not held here
during the winter season by any partic-
ular ties of business would like to visit
their former homes and their friends in
the east, if the expense of the trip were
not too great. The various railways
running into Dakota could we'll afford
to issue excursion tickets and send out
special trans about the middle of De-
cember which should carry people at
greatly reduced rates, return tickets to
be good for say sixty days. Thousands
of people would take advantage of cheap
fares who cannot afford to pay the reg
ular rates. The visitors to the east
would all act as missionaries who would
carry with them a true account of the
country and create a great additional
interest in it. There is no doubt that
Dakota would receive more benefit from
this method Of advertising than from
any amount of printed matter scattered
through the country. And the increase
of business that would ultimately result
to the railways would reimburse them q
thousand fold for their trouble"

Be Social.

MIR. EDITOR One who spoke in har-
mony with the fitness of things, said:
''Society is sphere that demands all
our energies and deserves all it demands.
Now. therefore. who retires to ails and
caverns to court monotonOus conflict
and to win richer crown is dOubly de-
ceived; the conflict is less, the reward is
nothing. He may, indeed, win the race
if he can be admitted to have done so
who had no competitors, because he
chose to run alone; but he will be en-
entitled to 10 prize because he run out
Of the course.
COOperstown has no hermits in caves
nor caverns-but it has had for the past
few months. A people who have hid
themselves in the dust and dire of close
hard work until it seemed that social
life was about to shroud itself in a wind
ing sheet. But this was necessary to
the end that the butcher and doctor
and baker slOuldnot foreclose on us. and
that the larder should he fat for winter.
This having been accomplished there is
a desire to shake hands and talk a little,
and meet the demands of society in a
downright social way. So the ladies
and friends who have made our life
pleasant here in COoperstOwn propose to
engage i'm social chat and cheer at Mrs

wood. We never dreamed the fraternity
would rise up against us SO for having a

it and the "wood lot" is no longer under
our control. Nuff sed.

Another Railroad.

"The railroad, projected northwest
from Fargo to Fort Buford and thence
possibly through to the Pacific coast, is
assuming definite shape and rapidly be-
coming something besides talk, - says the
Fargo Argus.
This line will probably follow the old
Fargo and Northwestern preliminary
survey, which touches Cooperstown
near the elevator. There is no reason
why railway northwest from Fargo
could not be operated at a great profit,
and we think our citizens have reason
to watch for future developments with
no meagre degree Of anticipation. The
country for sixty miles northwest from
where the proposed road would enter
Griggs county is absolutely the most
fertile part of Dakota, and as all this re-
gioni is desirous of being directly con-
nected with Fargo-The natural metrop-
oils of the northwest-the enterprise
would meet hearty cooperation and en-
couragement. Let the good work move
rapidly on.

A Puerile Pun.

An exchange says: According to a
recent visit to Dakota three classes OF
men are to be met there, the boomers"
the "rustlers," and the ''tenderfeet."
A ''boomer" is the individual who tells
the most wonderful stories about the
country, and of the opportunities offered
on every hand to grow rsch suddenly.
He is land owner, or the agent OF a
land owner; of courst he has property to
diepose of. The ''rustler" is the innO-
cent who believes the representations
and buys without Investigating the char
acter of the soil. The ''tenderfoot'' is
is told him, and hesitates about invest
ing: .uo
led to believe that DIR. Il. f. Newell is
''rustler. .''-Waterford wis Post.
The above is q sample of the numerous
abortive attempts in use by the eastern
press to injure the influence of Dakota
gospel that may perchance gain ground
in their midst. Every spring they are
called upon to say the parting word to
their most esteemed, energetic citizens.
who, after coming to Dakota in nine cases
out of ten send for their friends. The
little half-starved local papers OF these
depopulating villages are expected to be
Loyalty patriotic, as we'll as foolish, and
hence such silly stuff as the above.
So far as DR.. Newell is concerned he
can well afford to laugh at the above
assinine attempt at satire, for his grow
ing trade and future prospects can only
tend to make him more than ever gen.
erous. He bought with his eyes open,
after thorough investigation (the above
insinuation Notwithstanding and to-day
has the agreeable satisfaction of know
ing that his real estate is worth 81 to SIS
per acre more than he paid for it eight
months ago. Waterford folks and pa
pers will do we'll not to waste any more
sympathy on Dr. Newell, for that COM
modify is really due from the other side
of the fence. These poor stand-still or
backward bound localities should not
spend their feeble energies in blasphem-
ing Dakota, but rather use what little
strength they possess tobuilding up their
own shattered condition.

WONDERFUL CAVE.-About a mile
from the market town of Adelsburg, in
Austria, and three miles from Trieste, is
to be seen the most wonderful cavern in
Europe, and possibly in the world, called
the Adelsburg cave, and which has been
explored for length of nearly 5000 yards
as far as subterranean lake. This cavern
consists of several grottoes, from 60 TO 70
feet high. The interior resounds with the
noise of water, as n little river runs
completely through it, forming many
cascades on its way, and being finally lost
10 view in a tissure. This river continues
its subterranean course for about eight
miles, and after time 1t disappears into
the cavern of Laase, whence it energies
as a navigable river called the Laibach.
The entrance to the cave of Adelsburg is
Illuminated by hundreds of candles. and
transparent curtain composed of large
sheets Of crystallzed limestone is seen
hanging from the roof The vast hall or
ball room is about 1870 yards from the
entrance. 1t is about 500 feet long and
100 feet high, and is adorned with trans
parent stalactites ofevery kind of fantastic
shape and form. Until the year 1919 this
ballroom was the only part known; but
at this date the wall of stalagmite was
broken through and series of chambers
exposed to view, pos ;essing cathedral
like appearance, from the stalagmites In
many instances forming vast columns by
meeting the stalagmites below. In the
Adelsburg cavern numerous specimens
are found Of the proteus, kind of lizard
that dwells in the bottom of the cavern
lakes.
