-four and baking powders, and their
proper dressing and preparation for
power and richness in taste and their
easy and healthy deglutition, and that
of the crushing Of quartz and the extrac-
ton Of precious metals from the baser
elements and impurities with which it
is imrregnated. The mastery of the art
and science Of the one apparently gives
scientific and artistic knowledge and
control in manipulating the other.
Some ten years ago Bob Flormann, of
Rapid City, now occupying the atten-
ton of the mining journals of the east
and our local papers in discussing the
merits of the great Big Bend Hydraulic
company, was boss Of a lunch house Of
public entertainment and also engaged
in the art of making sweetmeats, in sill
yer City, New Mexico. Ever since he
came to the Hills he has been one of the
most active and successful mine oper-
ators, rs the stockholders ofthe Florence
company of Galena, especially Bob
Smith, Barney Armstrong, Charlie
Eaton, w. II. Merriam and a host of
others, Of st. Paul, can attest as also
the antediluvian and biblical Latin Of
Chicago realized in the Greenwood, and
the purchasers Of stock Of the Big Dend
will likewise realize before they gather
, i'm any dividends.
And now comes Prof. Bailey, the great
tin expert and scientist, through whose
efforts and labors the Eta works were
constructed, VINO departs from quartz
and takes unto hash for the edification
and gastriculation ofthe people of Rapid
in n of the hotels there. His advent
as a soupe-mairge is unanimously and
universally hailed with feelings of great
joy by all the citizens of the Southern
Hills, who predict II career of unex-
ampled and unprecedented success Of
'he professor rs a conditer.
Here is IA problem that presents Itself
to the intelligent and inquisitive mind:
How a profound, erudite and expert
enccd mineralogiSt like Bailey. can with
ease and a~!acrity instantaneously trans
pose himself into a ~compounder of
dough and Ladder of soup, or vice versa?
1t is certainly a mystery, either of mes
merle, spiritualistic, philosophic, or
geological character, that should be in
vestigated and explained. MAY be there
is some relationship between the in
gradients and elements of the two arts
that the intellect of man has not vet
fathomed, but which if revealed may
effect a revolution in mining and dis
cover and trace an electric secret trans.
mission Of polar tension or the evolving
Of thermotic electricity whereby the
quartz can be readily evaporated and
the food condensed. The School of
MiLes can devote themselves to the in
vestigation Of ne more important ques-
ton relatin gto physical and minerologic-
al science, and as Flormann and Bailey
are near by their testimony and expert
ence on hash and quartz will be %invalu-
able.

CRAFTY Geronimo.

This willy and subtle s~trategist has
again eluded the mastery () efforts of
Miles to entrap him. 1t o appears
that when Geronimo discovered that
Miles was trying to surround him, which
fact be did not realize until after Miles
had informed the war department Of his
utter inability to escape, he quietly re-
tired to High Mesa, twenty. five miles
southeast of Cahuta ranch, where he
had All Interview with Mexicans, the
purport OF which has not been given.
During the interview his stock was
guarded at the foot Of the bluff by two
Indians, which he considered a s%utfici-
ent force to hold them against a prob
able attack Of Miles. Geronimo's pres
ent position in Sierra Azul is said to be
d very strong one, and from which il
will be extremely deficult to dislodge
him, it being an old stronghold Of the
Indians which is so perfectly fortified
by nature that i. "ould require an inn
mense military force TO make an at
tempt to corral him with any assurance
of success. The troops are badly worn
out, but all reports to the effect of the
Indians being to any extent worn out
or exhausted are based upon the sheer
est nonsense, and the termination Of the
campaign, Notwithstanding the occasion
al reports to the contrary is as provok-
ingly obscure at this time as it has ever
been since its inception. If the govern
ment would retire all the troops and
put a regiment of Arizona miners in the
field, Gcronimo's head would be on ex-
hibition in the eastern cities at % cents
a look before the snow flies in the
Sierra Madres.

Wants q Cooler.

Buffalo Gap, having recently passed a
number of wholesome ordinances. is
now sorely puzzled over the question Of
what shall we do with our toughs."
The News SAYS:
"Since the incorporation Of the Gap a
commendable effort has been made by
the board of town trustees in the way of
passing proper ordinances in the inter
est of law and order, q no less effort is
being made by our competent marshal
to enforce them. 1t is generally under
stood by offenders that when Marshal
Riardon goes after his man he brings
him if he can be found, but having
brought him what can he do with him !?
Where shall he confine him? We have
no receptacle whatever for violators of
the law, and confinement in the Palmer
House (Which has been done) is but
offering a premium to some worthless
vag to 90 on a plain drunk and dis
orderly in order to get a nights lodging
and a few square meals at that respect
able hostelery. On Sunday night the
good order and peace which should pre-
vail on that day was broken into bv a
couple of %ranchers, who, after filing
themselves up with ordinary bug Juice,
were indulging in a quiet street fight.
They were duly placed under arrest, but
were allowed to go scot free for want Of
a place in which to ~contine them. Get
there, gentlemen of the board. Don't
talk about a lock up, but build one"

A recent arrival from Douglas, ter
minus on the main line, enlarges upon
the beauties, advantages and possibili-
ties of that place as follows: The Bur
lington and Missouri has already pene-
trated the Broken Bow country, and
will reach the boundary line between
Nebraska and Wyoming some time this
fall. The Cheyenne Northern is also
heading for Douglass, and will be pretty
well up by the time the winter sets in,
Both these roads will reach Douglas
next spring. The railroad has the max
ing Of the town, and every indication
points to the belief that they intend i;
to be "A place of importance. The com.
pany has laid out two sections in town
lots, and has 100 acres Of land there.
They have also opened an eight.fooi
vein of coal, and are building I've
bridges across the Platte, one "A waIon
bridge. The town was started in the
spring and now has a population some.
where between ! 900 and 1900. | ven
ture to say hat in three years it will
have a population of 10000 at the rate
people are coming in. Numbers think
it will have that many in a year, but ]

in size in the territory" -Deadwood

One Of the most destructive prairie
fires eve known in Dakota recently oc-
Cured in Sully county. A strip OF
country ten mills wide and forty miles
long has been literally burned up, and
left a charred and desolate waste.
Scarcely a house or stack of grain is left
in the burned district. Great suffering
among the settlers has resulted from
this fearful visitation, and the cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis with which
this county is in close commercial rela-
tons are actively engaged in raising a
fund for their relief.

Washington, Aug. 27.-A prominent
democrat from eastern Dakota came
here last February and remained until
less than "a week ago. He am to get
an office for himself, and relied upon
his influence with his former state com
patriots. In addition to wanting an
office for himself. he also wanted offices
for all of the family at home. he
modestly requested Il few postofiices.
The department wouldn't give away
postofices promiscuously to one family
while there are SO many of the u~nterri-
fled who have neither office nor promise
Of one. Hence our Dakota man got
mad, as the saying is, at the department.
Between the eXudations of nicotinouS
salvation he emitted cuss words at the
entire administration and at the post
office department in particular. Then
he wrote "a letter TO Hon. Nj. Ill. Day,
asking him to assist him in the matter
Of postoffices for the fpmily. Mr.. Day
wrote back Il am sick and tired of all
this p~ostoffice racket. | have no time
TO attend to it and ! don't intend to be
bothered with it any longer. 1t does
me no good and only makes enemies
for me. | have tried to serve my friends,
but in so doing | have not served my
self. / have neglected my business. 1
will have nothing TO do with your post
office nor with any other one Then
right mad was the Dakota man, and
madden and madden he grew. lie
bundled his grip-sack, took a fresh chew
OF tobacco and tackled "A train for the
boundless west. He shook the dust
from his hoofs as he departed. Thus is
there added one democrat to the gOodly
Humber of kickers in Dakota. The
horuy-fsted son of toll to whom | allude
will go home and cuss the administra
ton and every one who has anything to
do with it, but he will not vote anything
but a slaighl democratic ticket as long
as he lives. He's mad, but he's a dem
ocrat ell the same.

The following from the Deadwood
Pioneer is evidently intended to sustain

There seems TO be an affinity or a

When Gutenberg, the first printer,
was working in his cell In the monast
erv of st. Abersgot, he tells us that he
heard two voices address him. The
one bade him desist; told HIM the pow,
Ell his invention would put in the hands
OF bad men to propagate their wicked
ness; told how men would profane the
art he had created, and how posterity
would have cause 10 curse the man
who gave it to the world. So impressed
Was Gutenberg with what he heard that
he took hammer and broke it to
pieces the types he had SO laborously
put together. His work of destruction
was only stayed by another voice,
sweet and musical, that fell on his ear,
telling him to go on, and to rejoice in
his work; that all good might be made
the cause Of evil, but that God would
bless the right end. So to all of us
still come those voices that came to
Gutenberg; the one calling us to work
while it is called to day to try to leave
the world better than We found it; and
the other tempting us to give over and
take our ease, to leave the plow in
midfurrow, and to rest on our oar
when we should be pulling against the
stream.
