A Washington special to the st. Paul
Globe, concerning the proposal to send
Moody and Plummer into his district to
stump it against him, Congressman
William NJ. Springer says:
If they will only let me hear them
and reply to them before every audience

Nothing would please me better than tc

The Iron Duke to his Soldiers

"Do your duty" were the words Of
Lord Wellington to his soldiers just
before the battle Of Waterloo and his
tory tells us how well they obeyed.
The same advice might properly be
given to every living man nj this time.
There are many men who would do
their whole duty in time of war or
great need, but who sadly neglect it in
times of peace, they would gladly risk
their lives for their country, but when
there is no such great occasion, neglect
their plain simple duties To their God,
their families and themselves. 1t is
not for want of honor nor because they
do not love their families, but from
pure neglect; as an instance, statistics
compiled by the national authorities
show that more deaths result from
bowel complaints than any other II
cause, except consumption yet not more
than one family in six are provided with
medicines that will relieve or cure the
diseases. 1t is the duty OF every man
to look after these small matters? and
protect their families, and they are Ger.
tainly at least, guilty of criminal care
lessness if they neglect 10 do SO. No
one can plead poverty in this instance,
as the best remedy there is for the pur.
pose only costs but 25 cents. The article
we refer to is Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy. 1t is
a certain cure for cramps, collie, cholera
morbus, dysentery, diarrhpa, bloody
fux, cholera infantum, and bowel com.
plant in all its forms. No family can
afford to be without IL during the sum.
mer months AS great suffering and even
life may b" saved by il before n physi-
clan could be summoned or medicine
procured. Do not delay, but procure it
at once, before it is forgotten.

The New York Sun gives the following
interesting account of recent expert
ments with the wonderful explosive
known as ~Emmensite, invented by DR..
3. II. Emmens, who is extensively in
terested in Rining properties in this
locality:
"A special car carried a party Of fifty
gentlemen to Harrison yesterday morn
ing, to witness experiments with DIR.
Stephen II. Emmen's high explosive
emmensite. DIR. Emmens has converted
q farmhouse half mile south of the Har-
rison station into a laboratory and fac
tory. He received his visitors in his
workshop. The inventor is partly
paralyzed in his legs, and has to be
moved about in a wheeled chair. He
has an intellectual head and face, and
his hair has turned yellow from constant
handling Of the materials of his ex-
plosive. 1t is based on an acid anal
gous to picric acid.
"Dr. Emmens says that his explosive
is absolutely safe to handle, and very
cheap. 1t can be used in firearms.
small or large. 1t burns slowly when
ignited. 1t can be granulated in any
size. He crushed a lump ofthe powder
in a powerful stone crushcr. A small
cartridge was loaded with some of this
powder, and the ball was shot with a
pistol through a one-eighth inch iron
plate. Leaving the laboratory, the
party went ont into the open fields.
-Four cartridges, containing in all three
pounds of e~mmensite, were placed in
bores four feet deep. drilled into a mass
of rock cropping out Of hillside. The
cartridges were exploded by electricity,
and the rock was broken into pieces
small enough to be shoveled away. Mr..
j. b. Cooper, a Colorado mine owner,
estimated the amount Of broken rock at
thirty-fve tons. He said he had never
seen anything like the effect of the ex-
plosion.
"In another part of the field a plat
form had been raised and targets erect
ed. A dynamite cartridge placed upon
a post in the field exploded when struck
by a bullet from a rifle. while an EN-
mensite cartridge was merely knocked
from the post. Cartridges of dynamite,
explosive gelatine and emmensite were
successfully exploded on iron plates !

suspended by threads at the corners
The effect Of the Emmensite was TO blow
a large hole through the plate, whil'
the same quantity Of the other explosiv'
merely bent the plates.
Trial was then made NTH Spring
field rifles. The distance was 100 yards
and the target consisted of five boards
II Inches thick, about three inche
apart and backed by an iron plate
With the ordinary service cartridge
containing seventy grains Of gunpowder
the ball which penetrated the furthes
struck the fifth board, while the two
emmensite balls, driven by fifteen grains
Of powder, pierced all the boards and
were fattened against the iron plate,
Successful tests were also made with a
shotgun at fifty yards.
"The availability Of the explosive for
submarine blasting was shown by i'm
mersing emmensite coated with paraifine
in a barrel and exploding it by electrici-
ty. A lump of emmensite thrown into
a barrel of water when burning con-
tinued to burn almost to the last grain.
The use of the compound for pyrOtech-
nical purposes was shown by burning it
in q darkened room. DR.. Emmens also
exhibited a multi-charge accelerating
cartridge Of his invention, which may
be used in any size of gun. DR.. En-
mems estimates that with a gun forty
feet long q range of twenty-seven miles
would be obtained. The Pittsburgh
Steel Casting company is about to cast
for him a three-inch gum, seven and
one-half feet long. which is expected to
throw a twenty-five pound projectile six
or seven miles. Another invention of
his is a torpedo gum" which projects a
winged cylinder, to which are attached
cartridges that may be exploded by
either a detonator or time fuse.
CDR. Emmen's visitors yesterday,
many of whom are interested in the
manufacture and use of firearms and
explosives, were unanimous in praising
the adaptability and power of the new
explosive. Among the spectators were:
X. Kawahami, the Japanese consul
General John p. Hatch and Captain j.
Mortimer, U. S. IT,; Baron r. Ouffrop
de Verez and his two sons, of France
Count de Kapelli, of Paris; a. c. Hobbs,
of the Metallic Cartridge company, OF
Bridgeport; Alfred Bowler, of San
Francisco. who cane east expressly to
witness these experiments; DR.. II.
Hazard and j. Fl Eddy.

RuffalO Bill.

New York, special: Buffalo Bill at the
close of the season at Erastina, will take
a vacation. For three successive wears
he has been in the saddle. and he con-
siders himself entitled to a little recrea-
ton. He proposes, as he stated to The
Bee correspondent today, to take a long
excursion accompanied by several no
blemen, gentlemen prominent in Eng
lish politics, and distinguished Ameri-
can They will take the trail from his
ranch at North Platte, Neb., with wag-
ons and saddle horses, and pass across
the prairies through the land of the In
dian and the buffalo. Since Major
North's death, Colonel Cody has been
elected white chief Of the Pawnees. To
this tribe he will pay a visit, going
thence across the Rocky Mountains into
New Mexico. Wyoming and Arizona,
and stopping ut all the military posts
forts to pay his respects To their COM
manders. He will come out through
southern California, visiting at Los An
geles one of his former commanders,
General Miles. Thence he will probab-
~ 60 to San Francisco. He will make a
start early in the fall and occupy in the
trip several weeks. Major John Burke,
john" Buffalo Bills factotum,
will be II of the party. A most enjoy
able and exciting time is anticipated.
Colonel Tom Ochiltree is expected to
enliyen the trip by his presence.

CANT Afford It.

Referring to the little county seat ex-
element in Custer county, the Rapid
Journal wisely says: Custer county is
having a little county seat excitement,
which, with political matters, will tend
to make things lively in that part ofthe
Black Hills. The people in the eastern
part of the county want to move the
county seat from Custer, and have
petitioned for an election. But here
the trouble commences. The agricultur-
al part of the county has three aspirants
Buffalo Gap, Hermosa and Fairburn.
1t does not seem probable that an agree
ment will be reached very soon as to
the proper place to locate the county
seat. This being the case, Custer may be
expected to keep IL for some time. The
fight is Of course nons Of ours, but we
cannot observe it among our neighbors
without Offering a suggestion or two,
though We expect neither thanks nor
half-pence for them. No county in the
Black Hills can afford to do an unnec-
sssary act which will cost money. The
counties are in debt and taxes are high
enough. Indeed, in Custer county there
is great complaint of the rate Of taxa
ton. The county has a good court
house, erected at heavy expense. A
change of the county seat, if such a
change may be brought about, which is
extremely doubtful, would necessitate
the building Of another court house,
county Offices, etc. This would cost
money and materially increase taxation
which is already burdensome. 1t may
be that settlers in the eastern part of
the county find it inconvenient to go to
the present county seat to transact their
business, but it would seem the part Of
good policy to bear a little inconvenience
rather than to add to tho present bur-
den of taxation"

Deadwood Reduction Works.

'Advices from Mr.. Clark are all that
could be desired, or sufficient to arouse
utmost enthusiasm throughout the Hills.
and are to the effect that plans are COM
plete and will reach Deadwood by July
7. He directs that work begin at once
and pushed with the utmost zeal: that
his mission at New York Will be com
pleted and himself en- route to Cincin-
natl Tuesday next, and after placing or
ders for roasters &c. ut Cincinnati will
hasten home to superintend the con-
struction of the plant.
Agreeable to advices the board of di-
rectors met last evening and awarded to
Harry Damon a contract for l25, 0OO
brick at $7.75 per IN, delivered, and
formulated a call for lumber bids as APP
pears elsewhere in the TINES. A force
of men will be put to WORK at once i'm
Fertilizer gulch, constructing a water
system for the works and by the last of
next week fifty to seventy five men will
be at work at various points, on the new
enterprise. Work on the grade will be-
gin Immediately upon arrival of plans.
1t is believed that the entire plant will
be completed before October |. If any
one has entertained Goubt Of the SINGER
ity of the company, or of a speedy com
pletion of the works, such should be
dismissed. AT no time since Mr.. Clark
San Francisco and Cortez experiments
has there been a question of the success
of the undertaking. Mr.. Clark is a
thoroughly practical man, ayerse to
making mistakes, consequently no little
time was consumed perfecting details
that no superflous machinery and un-
necessary expense should b. incurred.
All is finally accomplished and we may
rest assured that n of the most COM
plete and valuable industries in the
west will shortly be established at Dead
wood.-Times.
