about this beautiful village. The town is
located in one of the many picturesque val
leys of the Lac Qui Parle river. is within
few miles of the geographical center of
Lac Qui Parle county, and is one of the
three towns now striving for the county
seat The Minneapolis u st. Louis railroad
furnishes the citizens with an outlet to
Eastern markets The town was first
plated in July, 1884, just prior to the com
peting Of the railroad here, but the first
building was not erected until the 10th of
August. The town now has a population
OF about four hundred, which shows Won
derful growth. 1t has one of the most fin
ished appearances OF any town along the
line of the road. The buildings are mostly
frame and from two to three stories in
height A new brick bank building is about
completed, Seventeen u Feldhammer pro-
prietors and o. S. StenSrud will be cashier.
There is a Lutheran church in course Of
erection, and when completed will be an
architectural beauty. A large steam flour
ing mill is about completed. Its capacity
will be seventy-ive barrels per day. The
town also has feed mill run by wind that
furnishes feed for the farmers stock. There

Killed in Fun.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Last evening John
Golden, a carriage painter, together with
his friend, Charles Davis. a plumber. went
into saloon at No. 345 State street, where
they had several glasses of beer. George
Link. the bartender. man of 81 years. and
friend of Golden and Davis, pointed to a
pile of silver dollars behind the bar and
said:
Jack, how would you like ITO play with
these?"
Golden remarked: Lets have look at
them"
Link placed the money on the bar and at
the same time picked up an old-fashioned
three-barreled pistol, which he playfully
presented at Golden. While the latter was
handling the coins. the pistol was dis
charged, the ball entering Golden's left
breast. he ran out of the saloon TO the
sidewalk. followed by Link, who caught
the wounded man in his arms and held him
there until he died, which was five minutes
after the shooting. Link was arrested.

party of three had just taken.
The remark raised a little discussion
about what the price of whisky ought to be.

recognized as one of the most businesS-like
and most successful men in his branch of
business in the city.
lis the profit ON whisky at two for a
quarter extremely large?" was asked.
NO. People are apt to jump too has
tily to conclusions in figuring on the per-
centage of profit on a drink or on gallon
OF whisky. They do not take into consid-
Grafton all the attendant expenses
of the business. Landlords de-
mand and receive at least a
third more rent from saloon than
for any other business; possibly that is to
quiet their eOnScienceS. Help and other
expenses in running tirSt-claSS place are
large and the sales aggregate a small amount
as compared with any other business con-
Quoted with the same expense"
TO return to whisky. What does it cost
and what do you get for it per gallon?''
Il use precisely the same brand of sour
mash fine copper bourbon all the time, buy
ing it when made i'll large lots and hold
ing it myself until it attains the requisite
age for use, that is, until it has five sum
mers' so my whisky may cost me little
less than some Others. but the best whisky
sold over bar can be bought for
about $3.50 per gallon. OF course the fig
ure is high for very small quantities. At
fifteen cents drink gallon of whisky
brings in about SO; at twelve and a half
cents, $3.50; but, as 1 said the receipts are
small and the expenses large, as compared
with any other business.

Anew Line spoken OF.

There was some little talk in railroad cir
cles yesterday that scheme was on foot to
build a railway from Fort Benton. Mont.
to some point on the Canadian Pacific line
Those connected with the scheme. it is
stated. are some very prominent railroad
men and English capitalists, one of them
being Sir Henry Tyler. president OF the
Grand Trunk Railroad company. Sir
Henry made trip over the
Canadian Pacific line, il is stated, on pur-
pose to inspect the country where the pro.
posed line touches the Canadian Pacific
This would be in the Saskatchewan valley
The railroad would pass through both a
mineral and agricultural country, and as
both were developed the profits from the
production would in year or two pay for
the money invested in the railroad. Fort
Benton would, however, be only a tempo
rary terminus as II Jena would be the OBJ
jective point. The line. as stated, would
touch Fort Assiniboine and Fort Walsh.

From a Norwalk Conn., Letter.
Mr.. Z. w. Schofeld is farmer of IVES
ton, near this place, one of whose recrea-
tons consists in snake hunting. Last fall.
while Mr.. SchOfield was at work in one OF
his fields, he saw so many blacksnakeS
going and coming from a large hole
in the ground that he could not count
them. The hole was about four inches
in diameter. and opened into the half-flled
up cellar of an old house now destroyed and
which was built long befare the days of the
Revolution. Mr.. ScOfeld discovered that
small galleries led from the passage from
which the heads of blacksnakes frequently
prOtruded. When he wanted little recrea-
ton Mr.. SchOfield would go to this
spot, seize snake back of the
head and gently pull him from
the hole. The fun came in the pulling.
for it required good exercise of judgment
to pull hard enough to get the snake out,
and yet not so hard as TO pull the snake in
two, for the reptile generally held firmly
by the tail to a rock. Having pulled them
out Mr.. SchOdeld would kill them as boys
do eelS, with a smart blow across log.
Before cold weather set in last fall he had
pulled out fifteen black snakes, and one
spotted adder that measured four feet in
length.
Already this spring Mr.. Schofield has re-
sumed his sport, having captured sixteen
snakes, the largest of which measured six
teen feet long and three inches in diameter.
He estimates that. as there are 400 or 500
snakes in that cellar, he viii have sufficient
recreation for all summer. The other day
he caught black snake up a tree with
robin in its mouth. The robin flew away
and the snakes measure was added to the
record Mr.. Schofeld is keeping of the total
length of his catch, which now amounts to
I27 feet and inches.

a Boa CONSTRUCTOR Sheds His Skin.

From the New York World.
The big boa constructor in Central park
shed his skin yesterday afternoon. When
the first spring weather came he was placed
in the great glass cage where the
sunshine could warm him into
life. All winter he had lain cOiled
up in box near the hot steam pipes.

small heap. He is Is so heavy it required
two men to lift him back to the glass cage
again. The sun shone on him and his mate.
a boa nearly as big, for many days without
effect. But yesterday morning he lifted
his head sleepily and looked about the big
den with his bright, gimlet eyes. Then he
yawned and tried to stretch himself.
He was stiff from the long winters sleep
and as his head swayed from side to side,
the notified skin began to break Just back
of his neck. The head swung from side to
side more violently, and the rent back of
his neck grew larger. A piece of skin,
transparent and looking like pure honey
comb. dropped off and fell to the bottom of
the cage.
By this time a great crowd of curious Wis
itors pressed about the glass Enclosure,
watching the boa's efforts to peel off the
old skin. Siding up to the wooden sash
that held the panes of glass, he pulled
his length along, scraping the old
skin off against the sharp partition.
Very slowly the sinuous folds
moved by and it was fifteen minutes before
a strip of flaky skin, somewhat like the
scales of big fish. was peeled of. This
showed strip of new shiny skin beneath.
But the strip peeled off was only about
two inches wide, so the numbering
snake turned around and began
seraping off the flakes in the same
way on the other side. So the process was
kept up until he finally emerged, looking
fresh and Shiny and glistening in his new
mottled dress. The other boa has not vet
parted with its last years skin. While the
snake was writing in its efforts to clear it
self, lady in the crowd tainted and was

Iron and Steel Produce.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-The Amer
lean Iron and Steel association has received
from the manufacturers complete statistics
of the production of pig iron and BeSsemer
and open hearth steel in the United States
in the first half of 1885. In the first half
of 1885 the total production Of pig iron was
2, $50, SIG net tons of 1000 pounds against
., 267, O21 tons in the first half of 1884.
From the close of 1854 TO the end of June
last charcoal stock increased %, COS. 600
tons, bituminOus increased ia, 4O6 tons
and anthracite decreased 40, 39s tons; net
increase, 90, 916 tons.
From the statistics the secretary of the
American Steel and Iron association con-
cludeS that pig iron manufacturers, es-
peeially the Western bituminOus makers.
have been making too much pig iron during
the first half of the present year. The roll
ing mill troubles in the West are doubtless
wholly responsible for the accumulation of
bituminous stock.

1t is prime necessity of health that the ac-

the way to overcome temporary fit of consti-

not to deluge the stomach and drench the
