Gold Supply.

For some time India has absorbed

* Il rule this silver is retained and
practically lost IA currency. England,
practically controls this demand and
supplies it. To do SO she purchases
silver from producing countries and
coins into money to the extent of mill
ions of dollars, Ia be used in India,
protesting meanwhile against silver
coinage lest its general adoption should
raise its commercial value and interfere
with her profitable business. For some
time silver has been the only currency
of India, and the probability is that no
very strong effort has been made 10

A Cow With 4 Wooden Leg.

Some time ago a valuable COW, the
property of Mr.. Hudson, of Nation,
broke her leg and Mr.. Hudson being
DESTROYS of saving the COW for the sake
of the calf running with her, desired
Mr.. Snarry te amputate the limb. This
was done, and the veterinarian then
made a rudely constructed wooden leg,
and the COW did SO well on her artificial
limb, the stump of the leg healing so
naturally. too. that when all the swell
ing had subsidized, the veterinarian had
a more artistic and permanent limb
constructed, and the COW may now be
seen stumping about the meadows as
commended as when supplied with the
full complement Of legs intended by
nature.

The Associated Press brings the fol-
lowing important and pleasing bit of in.
formation: "Some time ago, General
Sparks, commissioner of TIE general
land office, issued a circular giving a
system of regulations governing the
cutting Of timber for agricultural and
domestic purposes on mineral lands in
the west. These rules prohibited the
cutting oftim5er, except in the vicinity
where it was to be consumed forbid it's
use for manufacturing purposes, and
provided that a settler could not paw for
its cutting, but must do 1t himself.
These rules have seriously interferred
with settlers, and in consequence a great
number of petitions and protests have
been received at the interior depart
ment. When Assistant Secretary jerks
looked into the matter he found that
the commissioner had prepared these
regulations and had them issued. ex-
pecting they would receive TIE sanction
of the secretary of the interior. This
had never been given, and to-day an
official statement was prepared at the
interior department to the effect that
these regulations were issued 'inadvert.
emily and without authority Of law ;"
If Assistant Secretary jerks will look
into the matter" a little further, he will
find several other regulations that. We
are sure, he will realize were issued lin
advertently and without authority Of
law."-Times.

Colonel Pat DOMAIN has been making
extraordinary efforts of late to recruit
the female population Of Dakota. He
has stated that anv number of women
could find good husbands by coming out
to the territory. This has made Col.
DOMAIN the butt of the wit of the para
granhers, but all the same has resulted
in bringing about n few weddings, which
made in Heaven and Others in Dakota.
But Colonel Domains scheme resulted i'm
one fiat failure to our certain knowledge.
Among others stirred up by the ~colonel's
address was u Fulton county maiden Of
a certain age and an uncertain temper.
She struck up a correspondence with a
Deadwood man longing Tor the sweet
companionship Of a wife. Love making
on paper proceeded finely until she was
at last induced to name the happy day,
and, as the expectant groom's business
would not permit his absence, she
~journeyed to far-off Dakota to meet and
marry him. But when she arrived
there she absolutely refused to fulfil
the compact on the ground that her
lover was too fat! Here was a pretty
kettle Of fish. He quoted Dickens to
her, showing that it was the opinion Of
that admirable judge Of human nature,
MIR. Weller, that width was always as.
ISOLATED with wisdom. She didn't want
a wise man sne wanted a man she
could love. He argued with her that
the sweetest babies were the fat ones
that a poor baby was a monstrosity.
and that man were but children of a
larger growth. She paralized him by
the answer that matter had not pro
crossed far enough to make this a legiti.
mate subject for discussion. He brought
the old and new version of the Bible to
bear on her, and proved conclusivcly
that when the Almighty made man in
his own imass and pronounced him

A cloud fell upon Butte, Montana
when it became known that the owners
of the mills for the reduction Of silver

Lake. The distance to Ogden, the

Is soG per ton. The mill men have long
protested against this charge, but with

Elk Delegate John B. Raymond, Of
Fargo, OAK, was at the Ryan yesterday.
lie said that everything in the territory
was looking up. The crops were large
and everybody was satisfied with the
situation. Referring to the admission
of Dakota as a state, he said the dem
ocrats i'm the lower branch ofthe nation
al legislature would probably pass a bill
admitting the territory as one state,
hoping that it would be killed IN the
republican senate. thus making the re-
publicans responsible for refusing to
admit the territory. The democratic
congressmen also ent rtained the hope
that, even if the bill was passed by the
senate, the residents Of Dakota would
vote against such admission as a single
state, all being in favor Of q division
and admission as two states. He
thought that the action Of the residents
Of the southern portion of the territory
in their recent constitutional conven-
ton and the election subsequent thereto
had given democratic residents of the
territory an opportunity to show that
such division was not demanded bv all
classes, ~ the democratic residents re-
fused to vote and thus diminished the
total vote cast. He thought that there
was M genuine opposition To division,
the residents of the northern part Of the
territory being as much i'm favor of it as
those living in the southern part. Mr..
Raymond expressed the opinion that All
Offset to the admission Of Dakota AS a
republican state would be secured by
the democratic congress in admitting
Montana. which was and would be
democratic. He thought that it might
result in the admission Of Montana.
