Among the tlints of the chalk for,
matiou is occasionally found one
which em.ts a clear musical sound
when struck with another flint. lis.
sander tells of a distinguished
French musitian, H. Baudre, who is
a Jealous collector of these musical
stones, and who has just succeeded
in making 4 unique ''piano' frcm
them. In this instrument the tlints
are suspended by wires above a SCUM
ding board, and are played upon by
two other hints. The stones of the
piano number twenty-six, forming
the two chromatic octaves, and were
collected with much patient labor
during a period of more than thirty
years. There seems to be no relation
between the sizes of the stones and
their tones.

knows that no investment of money will

such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety % government

raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with a steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The

The climate of Southern Nebraska and

II has been inslnuated that Patrick
Ferron was working in the interests of A.

asked point blank by an ARGUS reporter
IN The pOstofiice this morning, whether he
was tor Morgan or Silvis. His reply was:
i am working for neither, but shall vote
for Sharp Slvis. and if | can say good
word for him | will do it." Mr.. Ferr0n
said he would pay s. head for all men
that could be brought to him, saving that
he had solicited votes for Morgan, or said
he would vote for him. Thus is another
