The Presbyterian university at Pierre is
SO overrun with students that lodging
room is now at premium and arrange
ments are on foot for the erection of an
other wing or dormitory to the college.
The success with which this institution
has met warrants the faculty in believing
that they cannot carry the improvements
too far. consequently it is proposed to
make it from this time forward one of the
most extensive institutions of learning in
Dakota or in the west.

The AssessOrship.

Some of the leading attorneys III the
State, says the Carson Appeal, includ.
ing W. E. F. Deal, believe that the
part of the law making the office OF
Assessor a four-year term will not
hold. The Supreme Court, it will be
remembered, decided that part of the
bill that placed an Assessor then hold
ing office in the position for four years
unconstitutional; that is the decision
is to the effect that the Legislature
could not extend the tern of any
ofice.holder in office before the bill
was passed. Attorney General Alex
ander gives it as his opinion that As
SCISSORS elected after the bill became u
law should hold the Office for four
years. However, a fight will be made
bv the Assessors elected ia many of
the counties on the 9th of November,
to have the matter decided by the SUI
preme Court. Ben Fitch was elected
in Elko county.

The International Range Association
and the National Butchers's Protec-
tive Association have held ajoint con-
vention at ST. Louis, and discussed the
dressed beef question. Both Assoeis-
tions are endeavoring to circumvent
the dressed beef syndicate, which
they allege has crippled the cattle In
dustry. and promises to exterminate
it. The syndicate ships dressed beef
in refrigator cars to many of the lead-
ing hotels and eating houses ON the
principal railroads, and even estal,-
lishes retail shops in towns and viii
lasSs, where it sells beef at less price
than local dealers, until il drives
them out Of the business, and thep It
puts up prices as high as it pleases.
The Range and Butchers Associa-
tons are e~ndeavoring to prevent the
syndicate from getting absolute con-
troll of the dressed beef business
throughout the country, as in that
event the syndicate pould fix the
price of beef cattle to suit itself, and
cattlemen would be at it's mercy.

Clearing a Railroad Wreck.

A gentleman tells me that he has seen one
OF the most extraordinary pieces Of executive
dispatch in his life. II was coming down
the Hudson River road,n he said, two or
three days ago, when the train was stopped
by wreck near Hudson. A freight train
had been thrown off the track. The engine
was lying imbedded in a hole, one car vaas ly-
ing across the track; another had lost its
trucks and was fat on the track, and the
tender of the locomotive was also deeply i'm
bedded
We had waited there an hour and half
or two hours. and twenty trains had been
stopped They had yanked one of the cars
up on jack screws, as if to run trucks under
it, and then get it out of the way 1t looked
as If we were going to stay until night, and
we began to think about finding a steamboat
or buggy or something to get on to New
York. when al at once an engine and wreck
ing car hsaved in sight.
Before the engine had come to stop we
could hear the roadmaster's voice ring out,
giving his orders before he had seen the sit
uatlon. He seemed 70 Be es familiar with
everything on the spot as il be had been there
ell night There was en- engine of at some
distance. but doing nothing He called ou. =
the engineer TO come up and make fast to the

gire was attached and pulling to get the
other out OF the hole, and AT the second effort
the great mass of iron came Up suddenly, and
WIS hauled out OF the road.

A Citadel of Stupidity.

1t is notori0cs fact that our kitchens
are the strongholds Of ignorance, preiu-
dice, irrational habits and mental vacuity,
with the result that Americans suffer be-
yond any other people from wasteful,
unpalatable, unhealthful and monotonous
cookery. Acquiescence in this state Of
things as something permanent and ir-
remediable is no longer possible. The
time has arrived when the advance of in
telligence and the spirit of improvement
must invade that citadel of stupidity, the
kitchen. and Danish from it all degrading
associations by the presence of trained
women who have made the work there
carried on matter of serious study.
Cooking should be done as Northcote
mixed his colors, with brains, sirr The
difference between cooking that is good
and cooking that is bad is very much an
affair of attention TO trihes And this
power of attention to trifes is the out
ward and visible sign of the inward and
well ordered brain Slight mistakes,
small omissions, little things done at the
wrong time spoil dishes, and therefore
much healthful enjoyment. The charm
Of good housekeeping is the order of econ
omy and taste displayed in regard to de-
tails. The little things are the great :
things after all, when their influence is
taken into Observation-Disclosures York

Endurance of African Natives.

On occasions when We miSjudged distances
and were obliged to pass about twenty hours,
mostly of great exertion, without food, our
anxiety about our companions was met by
the polite assurance that they had eaten. "
They even contrived to turn the sympathy
tho other way by saying, 1--WE are used to
hunger, but the white man will faint"
The white man might endure hunger
nearly as long, but the native has this ad-
vantage: when food comes he has an enor-
NOUS capacity for quantity; he is a dreadful
eater, while the white man can scarcely taste
q morsel
The natives can also endure the burning
thirst of this land. On a long days march
they pass all the streams in the morning
without drinking; it is not till 3 or o'clock
in tho afternoon that they become thirsty.
But the white man may drink by the end Of
the first hour, and then he becomes de
moralized" for the day.
AS the hot march continues, his thirst in
creases, but he cannot quenchit. He arrives
at a clear ripping brook, hastily puts stone
under his l1nees-a drinking jug is mockery
now, he must get at tie stream itself-stlll he
is never quite satisfied. He Graves the drink
ing for its own sake. After inbibing great
quantity, he is grieved that he cannot 60 on
drinking more, and no sooner has be left one
stream than he begins Ia long for another.
The unpleasant craving continues TILL the
sun begins to sink in tho west He may avoid
the torture by abstainiDs at first; but in
order to exercise this self denial, it is almos.
imperative to shut the eyes while passing .

way, but they are chiefly boys.-Youth's

A Chnd's Solo in Church.

An interesting incident was the first ap-
pearance in public of a young singer who
holds responsible position as soprano in one
Of the leading choirs Of the city. Before tho
young lady was more than 5 or years old
she accompanied her mother to church. and
to her the singing was by far the most i'm
portant part Of the service. The child's voice
was pleasing, being much admired by thoss
of the congregation who heard her. Or ecs
occasion the minister announced the hymn
which is usually sung to the tune ''Green-
field" The little singer felt that she was
familiar with this tune and could do justics
to the hymn.
As the first stsnza was sung the childh
voice assembled above the others, and many
in the congregation stopped singing to listen
to the young singer. When the second stanza
was begun the few who took up the air with
the choir stopped singing, and as the choir
continued with the regular words Of the
hymn the child TOOK up a solo, which was
heard all over the little church In clear
tones she sang ''Go Tell Aunt Nabby,n etc, q
song adapted to ''Greeufeld.s the familiar
tune.-Troy Times.

A BIG SNAKE STORY.
a Reptile as Unique as the Sea Serpent.
The Porpoise Snake.

l, alone one day in Jnne, was fishing on
the banks of the bayou Yucatan, under the
shade of an oak, in north Louisiana, having
left my sailboat several hundred yards from
me, in order to escape the hot sun.
l had hardly seated myself conveniently
when dark object was seen approaching on
the surface of the water. At first I thought
it was an alligator, but on closer observation
discovered it to be an enormous creeping ser
pent. When this huge monster was within
few yards of the spot where l was seated
gathered some stones about the size of goose
eggs and struck him eleven times, and,
strange to relate, the blows did not appear
to worry hlm to any great degree, as he
never once left the surface of the water. but
continued unconcernedly at a slow pace up
stream
I Immediately left my rod and reel and
hastily scampered to my boat. 1t was only
a question of several minutes before l was in
midstream in hot pursuit Of this object,
which was soon overtaken. When within
close proximity noticed it to be blind and
apparently harmless. Fearing, however, an
attack, | seized my rifle, and, taking aim at
its head, fired. The bullet lodged in the col
lar bone and broke his neck. There was
slight movement of the tail, little slashing
Of the water, and all was over, the monster
floating down stream. Curious to learn the
species of this peculiar reptile, a made lasso
from stout rope which l had in my boat
and threw it around its body, thus enabling
me TO tow it ashore.
A critical examination developed the fact
that l had captured monster snake never
before seen by me. 1t had head resembling
a long funnel shaped horn, the body being
similar to small kegs joined together. What
made matters more queer, each keg had a
bunghole some Of the bungs being on top
and some on the Sides. Hauling the tail on
the bank (Which was by no means an easy
task, out of curiosity to learn the contents
of the kegs, l opened one of the bungholes
by means of jackknife, and found it to
contain a very fine purified oil
Just at this juncture my uncle. who is an
old fisherman and has been member of the
city council, came up, and the minute his
eyes fell on the captive, with frantic gesticu-
lations he exclaimed that had captured
valuable porpoise snake, seldom seen in these
waters.
The oil in the kegs found to be pure, un-
adulterated porpoise oil. l had twelve forty
nine gallon oil barrels sent to the bank and
filled them all. The Oil was shipped to the
most extensive watch making establishment
in this country, and brought a handsome
sum.
By way Of explanation, I would say that
this snake obtains the oil by plunging its
sharp head into the side of the porpoise and
drains every drop of oil from its body.
The snake had fifty-three kegs and was
sixty-nine feet long.

garden. Briggs, who was in his path,
dropped his rake and flung himself into some
bushes
'After him, Akbarln cried; "see where
he goes"
Ulysses ran toward clump Of woods,
WHICH, KEW over u kuOu a ouOIt QlSta!lCS
away Into this he plunged, and was soon
out of sight. we could hear the limbs crash
as he tore his way into the thick foliage
Akbar followed cautiously. The direction
which Ulysses had taken caused suspicion
of possible calamity to dawn on my mind,
and ! waited uneasily for the mahout's re-
turn. 1t was not long before Akbar emerged
from the woods and ran toward me-
''Praise be to our fathers, he is dead." he
shouted. Akbar had come to fear and to
hate Ulysses
''Are you sureT' I asked.
"May the hyenas eat my grandfather" r"
said he, solemnly. 'You, who know only
truth, remember the rocky bank beyond the
hill, which slopes off to Instruction. Your
servant, Ulysses, rushed thither and flung
himself down. bursting his head against the
stones. I myself saw him there, lying mo-
tionless and dead"
This was the end Of Ulysses have al
ready remarked at the beginning Of this mar
rative that felt less of sorrow than of re-
lief over the catastrophe. Long association
had made him dear to me in many ways,
yet I was not prepared to endure him as a

the unhappy situation than tragedy Of
