injury when he defes law and should be
taught better manners even if 1t be to the
entire depletion Of his purse. Such men
take solid comfort in listening to the rant
ing OF some beer drinker, whose muscular
tissue is clogged with effete starch. 1t
does them good to listen to the ranting
about the beer gardens in the old world,
have men iand women congregate there
after church and have glorious good
time slipping their beer. We don't wish
any man no harm, and of course 1t is not
wishing them harm when we wish they
would go back to the old world and enjoy
beer gardens on Sunday to their hearts
content. If they don't choose to do this,
we hope they will exercise common sense,
enough, when in Dongola, to mind their
own business and not try to preach to Don
golans that their liberties are being tamper-
ed with by the antl-saloon party.-But we
have not started out to write particularly
on prohibition; it might disgust the reader.
BY the way, we want it known In every
village and hamlet in Illinois that Dongola
is Prohibition Village, and her citizens
intend to see to it that no man shall i'm
pinge upon her laws with impurity.
Harvest is now beginning and, though
wheat is rather thin on the ground it never
has been better headed and plumper In the
berry omens for abeautiful year, financial
ly and plenty, Our berry season has just
close and fair prices having been obtained.
Money is plenty. Not great many as
yet have engaged in the strawberry cul-
ture, but there is general learning that
way and we shall not be surprised to see
Dongola in few years in the van in this
industry. All the lands around Dongola
are rich; yes, richer than the lands in any
other section of country. The timber
growth is, the oak common to this latitude,
yellow poplar, hickory, black and white
walnut, hack berry and buckeye The I'M
der growth is pawpaw, dogwood, spice
wood, etc, all indicating frst-class soil.
Men wanting homes among generous
people, and wishing to engage in hortlcul-
ture and agriculture will do we'll to come
and see US before investing elsewhere.
Lands are offered at reasonable prices.
School and church accommodations are
good, and our tendency in morals on the up
grade, therefore, we say to those wanting
good homes in good country call and see

Krupp's New Gunpowder.

Krupp, the great gunmaker, has in
troduced new kind of powder, which
is deservedly creating quite sensa-
ton among experts, inasmuch as it
may lead to the disuse of the black
powder 1t is known under the mod
est name of brown powder, owing to its
peculiar color, which resembles that of
chocolate or cocoa, and owes its dis
covery to mere accident According
to the reports on the trials hitherto
made, the brown powder has decided
advantage over the black in producing
greater velocity, with an equal
pressure of gas, and being applicable
to guns Of every caliber. The remark
able fact about it is that it explodes
only in tightly closed space, while in
the open mir or in the powder box it ig-
mites slowly and without explosion, al
though it is said to consist of saltpeter,
sulphur and charcoal, like the black
powder, the difference consisting in the
relative proportions of these ingredi.
ents. 1t is supposed that the degree OF
carbonization Of the wood from which
the charcoal is made plays n promin-
ent part in the new discovery, as the
color of the powder seems to indicate;
as also that the dangerous explosions
in mixing and preparing it may hence
forth be prevented. Of special strate-
gle Importance is the fact that the
smoke Of the brown powder is much
thinner, and hence will more quickly
disappear than that produced by the
black powder. Trials are now max
ing in all the large artillery services
on the Continent, and II they confirm
the improvements claimed there can be
no doubt that the new invention may
produce an entire revolution in the
military world.

A Bit Of Advice from the CBur
d'Alene.

The glowing and enthusiastic reports
l read before leaving Chicago repre-
sented Eagle City to be in state of
hopeful excitement, while, alas! there
is no trace of excitement to be found
now. The town is quiet and business
dull, and although everybody seems
sanguine, or at least pretends to ap-
pear so, reaction seems to have set
in. Contrary to what we heard at Bel
KNAPP, we found here that the mines
could not be worked yet, while the
snow is still deep in the mountains and
the water rising rapidly. Only few
claims are being worked now, and
these Intellectually. There are no cap
italists here, great many if not the
most of the claims are being held by
men who have no means to open and
work them, and there are few claims
in which an interest could not be bought
cheaply. There is not gulch within
twenty miles of Eagle City that is not
located, but mining is an expensive
business, and, there being no money in
camp, things do not look very bright
at the present moment. Everybody
thinks that it will turn out good
camp after all; but there is no chance
working the claims before the snow
disappears. Although this might be
a good country for prospectors who
have sufficient money to hold out, OF
for capitalists who wish to speculate,
it is no country for the poor man. Liv-
ing is dear, chances for employment
none, there being no money in camp to
employ labor; accommodation is scan
ty and awfully expensive. In short, l
should earnestly advise everybody ex-
cept capitalists not to think Of coming
out before the end of June, if at all,
for those who come with but little
money will spend it before they can get
employment, and those arriving here
with no money stand no chance Of
making living. Correspondence Chi

William Reynolds, q machinist at
Cecil Paper Mills, recently got into an
ugly predicament. He went into what
is known as the stuff chest--a large
iron tank, in which set of arms re-
volve and keep the pulp agitated-to
repair some part of it. While there
the pulp was turned on and the ma
chinery started by some one not know
ing that any one was inside. To keep
out of the way of the revolving arms,
Mr.. Reynolds was obliged to walk
round and round, the pulp meanwhile
pouring down on him. He walked and
cried out at the top of his voice for a
long time and until he was nearly ex-
hausted, but at last his cries were heard
and the machinery stopped. At this
time the pulp was waist deep and Mr..
Reynolds was covered with it from
head +" foot --Belair Times

The recent removal of ex- Governor
johnson, of the San Francisco Alta,
from the Office Of Registrar and the APP
pointment of r. 4. Walsh. formerly Ad-
jutant General. TO succeed him, elicits
severe comment from some of the San
Francisco dailies. BY friends of Gov.
srnor Stoneman il Is alleged that this
action was taken because of the Aitd's
structures upon him In relation to call
Ing an extra session Of the Legislature.
The ChTonieis THINKS that this lie q mild
view Of the case. IL does not consider
the opposition Of the Alta 10 aa extra
Legislative session to be sufficient cause
for punishine its editor. by depriving
him Of an important and lucrative Office,
but thinks bis removal is part OF a Sc
oret bargain between the Executive and
Boss Buckley TO place control OF the
police and Of the election machinery OF
che city into the hands of corrupt men
on the eve Of an important election. I.
also criticises the action a. against the
principles Of civil service reform, TO
enforce which the Democracy Of Caiifor.
mia and the whole country are pledged.
