The London isippcr Again.

The police have found tho body of an
other fallen Woman lying ut the corner of
the railway arch, on Cable street, White
chapel, London. An examination of the
remains showed that the head and legs
had been cut off and carried away and the
stomach ripped open, the intestines lying
on the ground. The police. who passed
the place every fifteen minutes, state that
they saw noticing suspicious. Physicians

opinion, the murder and mulila.ion cccu-
pied nearly an hour. The woman was
about 3oyears old. She was shabbily at
tired and was evi entity n spirit drinker.

Golden. An old abandoned mine IL
alongside tho White Ash, and for some
months has been full of water which,
without n moments warming, burst
through into the White Ash mine, COM

known to have been at work i'll White
Ash at the time OF the accident and
not one of them could have lived five min

them. 1t will take two or three weeks be-
fore the bodies can be recovered. Work
was at once commenced to pump the mine
out, but old miners say it will be impossi-
BILE to clear the mine and reach the bodies
under two AMI perhaps three weeks. Part
of the men leave families who were de-
pendent upon them, and all are highly
spoken of.

The Crops I'm Souti, Dakota for 1890.
Since grasshopper days the crops have
never failed in tho southern counties of
the state. They are as good this year as
ever. They do not need artificial lrriga-
ton. In very few counties scattered
here and there throughout the eastern
part of the state the extreme drouth has
badly stunted the crops. In Miner county
the commissioners find n few who will
need some aid before next winter is oyer
They are generally new corners who came
with little, and the sod crops which they
attempted to raise were cut off by the
drouth. But there will be very few of
such cases. all of which can be easily tax
en- care of by their respective counties.

Five Chinese attempted to cross the

The other three eluded the officers and
took q train for San Diego, CAL, where
they were promptly arrested. They are

Chinese hborers taken from san Fran
cisco som weeks since to develop the
Real Deal Castillo mining district. They
had the boldness to come up tho regular

Dakota's rar-Fancl Jasper.


There is a scientific mystery, says acor-
respondent, about this so-callel jasper
found in Minnehaha county. Practical,
it is all right. Its utility has been estab-
lished but geographically there is no little
uncertainty about it. Those who know the
most are least positive in discussing its
character. Some of the scicntistitic men
who have looked at it call it a red quartz
lite. Prof. Winchelf says it is the hardest
stone IN the United States that has been
used for building purposes. The grain is
very close. The only element to which it
succumbs is fire. 1t will stand u good de-
gree, but crumbles like limestone and
sandstone under too intense heat. In the
last day. when all the elements shall melt
with fervent heat, the Sioux Falls jasper
will have to go. In color the JASPER
ranges from salmon pink and peach blow
to purple. Quito recently black jasper has
been discovered. while there is one quarry
now turning out white jasper, which is
dazzling when polished.
