How to Test Drinking water.

One of the simplest ways to test drink
ing water is to purchase small quantity
of saturated solution of permanganate OF
potassium from the druggist and put a
few drops of it into bottle of drinking
water. This will turn the water beau
tiful rose color, but if the water contains
any dangerous amount of organic mat
ter, in few hours the water will change
to a dirty reddish brown. : If the color
of the water remains unchanged at the
end of twelve hours it may be consid-
cred comparatively pure. A yet sim
pier way of testing the water is to put
half teaspoonful of pure sugar into a
clean pint bottle, three-quarters full of
water, cork the bottle, set it where it is
warm for two or three days and where it
will not be disturbed. If, during this
time, the water becomes cloudy or milky,
it is unfit for household use. If it re-
mains perfectly clear, it is safe.-New
York Tribune.

In Male Attire.

A few days ago the officer Of the Fort
Madison penitentiary discovered that a
prisoner convicted and sent up for horse
stealing at Sioux City was not man,
but a woman, and she was promptly
transferred to the women's department
of the penitentiary. The woman was
convicted under the name of Charles
Miller. She had lived in Sioux City
under that name for six years and half,
and there never was suspicion that she
was anything but man. She passed
as the husband of woman with whom
she lived, and whom size supported by
mans work. For two years she worked
on rented farm, and then earned a
living for herself and family as barber.
About year ago she and her supposed
wife adopted child, taking it from the
poor house. She took a team from a
livery stable and was convicted there
for, having maintained the fraud as to
sex both through trial and in Jail. The
alleged wife has suddenly disappeared
and cannot be found. Whence Miller
came or what the motive for the fraud
can only be guessed.

Over Eve thousand women have OBJ
tanned employment il the last five years
ii Philadelphia in branches hitherto fl-
led BY men alone. It's not only in the
mills, factories, stores, telegraph Offices
and like places, where they are found at
loom, shuttle, counter and key that they
are working, but in bankers. brokers',
lawyers and other professional mems
Offices As stenographers, type-writers,
book keepers and cashiers they are grad
ually and largely encroaching upon the
occupations previously almost entirely
monopolized by men. The large cor
porations, trusts and real estate compa-
MICS or mercantile agencies utilize their
services and employ them in large num-
bers. The newspaper Offices recognize
their value, and in the composing room
they may be found with the rule and
stick. Their punctsiality and steadiness,
quickness and intelligence are particu-
larly noticeable, and the class of women
at work is far above the averagein breed
ing and culture. The managers Of
nearly all the business concerns where
they are employed speak Of their work
in the highest terms, and say they are
generally equal to men and in many
cases superior. Many are the main sup

have been obliged to fight in the world

The following advertisement appeared
in an exchange: "Situation wanted by
a practical printer and newspaper man

holy terror to the opposition; doesn't

Somewhat STRAINED Relations. ;

An enamored Sturgis youth visited
his sweetheart the other evening. The
night was warm, and he found the young
lady fast asleep on the lounge in the
parlor. After gazing for-some moments
in rapture at the sleeping beauty, he con-
ceived brilliant idea. Taking a rose
bud from his button-hole he proceeded
to pin it to her gently heaving, bosom
before awaking her. No sooner, how
ever, had he inserted the pin than loud,
Kissing sound was heard, and one side OF
the lovely bust soon became as fiat as il
an elephant had trodden upon it, while
the other still retained its Hogarthian
curve and fullness. IT was only pat
emit pad he had punctured, but at pres
ent his relations with the fair one are, to
uso a diplomatic term, somewhat

PAST SATISFACTORY: FUTURE ASSURED


EDeadwood, aud one and half miles
from Fort Meade, ten-company post.
The town is situated between the foot
hills and the higher portion of the Black
Hills. The site is a most magnificent
one, lying on dry, almost level ground,
with a slight declination toward the
creek, giving the best of facilities for
drainage. There is plenty of room for
growth, as the valley in which the town
is situated.is wide and peculiarly adapted
for the site of large city.
The town lies at the point of con
vergence of all the important roads ira
versing the county, and as consequence
is the headquarters Of all settlers in the
surrounding country when they desire
to transact business of any nature what
soever. It is reported that the first set
tier located on the present site in June,
1876. Major Wilcox, J. M. Rodebank, A.
Buckbee, Major Lazelle, B. G. Caulfield,
Judge Dudley and j. w. Caldwell
formed company and proceeded to Sc
lect site and lay out a town. It is
said Major Wilcox selected the site.
Eighty acres were originally plated, but
since then, to keep up with the increas-
ring demand for residence property, sew
eral additions have Eeen made, The
town was christened Sturgis, after Gen
eral Sturgis, Of the regular army. The
first postoflice was opened in the winter
of 1879.
Since then the town has exceeded the
expectations Of it's most ardent friends
and supporters. It has increased in
population, wealth, intelligence and
morality, At present it boasts of four
churches, two schools, four hotels, a
national bank, lumber yards, planning
and feed mills, stucco and plaster works,
nearly hundred mercantile establish
mcnts and trades represented, Masonic,
Odd Fellows and G. A. r. societies, daily
mail in all directions, direct telephone
communication with every town in the
Hills, both in Dakota and Wyoming, the

cannot but acknowledge the superior
position of Sturgis as regards the farm
ing community surrounding it. By
studying the map of the Black Hills it
can be readily seen that the facts APP
pearing in the preceding columns are
literally true. The secretary Of the
Sturgis board of trade, Mr.. Max Hoehn,
can readily impart--and will do SO
willingly-any information concerning
Sturgis, the Key City Of the Hills, and
the surrounding country.
