Telling Trees bv Electricitv.

Hitherto machines for telling trees
have been driven by steam power, but
this is sometimes inconvenient, espe-
cially in thick woods, and electric
power has been adopted i'll the Cali
clan forests Usually in such ma
chimes the trunk is sawn, but in this
case it is drilled When the wood is
of a soft nature the drill has sweep
ing motion and cuts into the trunk by
means of cutting edges on it's sides.
The drill is actuated by an electric
motor mounted ON a carriage, which
is brought up close to tho tree and
shackled to it. The motor is capable
of turning round its vertical axis, and
the drill is geared to it in such man
ner that it can turn through an arc Of
a circle and make sweeping cut into
the trunk. The first cut made, the
drill is advanced a few inches and an
other section of the wood removed in
the same way until the trunk is half
severed. 1t is then clamped to keep
the cut from closing, and the opera
ton continued until it would be un-
safe to go on. The remainder is fin
ished by hand saw or an ax. The
current is conveyed to the motor by
insulated leads brought through the
forest from a generator placed in some
convenient site.-London Times.

KIMBALL NOTES.
speciaI 10 the RrrunL1cAN,

Special to the REPUBLICAN,,
KIMBALL, Dakota, March 29.-The
weather is dry, the winds are high and
fires are numerous. On Thursday the
three year old son of MIR. I. E. Ruth,
living half mile west of town, seeing
fires in every direction, said he would
have a "bontire too" AS result a tif-
teen ton hay stack was soon on fire.
The house and barn was saved by the
efforts of the Kimball fire department
At the same time Il large prairie fire
was raging on the farms of Meierstein
and Nugen just east of town, and did
some considerable damage. The same
night the house of MrSam. Doty, eight
miles north was entirely burned down,
Cause unknown. Mrs. Doty's father
and mother were stopping with them,
and the occupants Of the house had
barely time to get out in their night
clothes after the fire was discovered.
The father-in-law, Mr.. Andrew Peil-
ecke, was badly burned on the head,
face and hands, and may not recover.
The house was insured in the Farmers
Alliance last week. On the same eve
ming a large prairie fire was burning in
Pleasant Grove township twelve miles
south. 1t was approaching the house
of MIR. Franz Weinberg with fury and
speed, when Weinberg picked up his
little girl and started to run to the
house of neighbor, telling his wife to
follow. She left the house and was
soon caught by the fire and the next
morning was found dead on the prai-
rie not far from the house The barn
was also burned, and horse and wag-
on and 150 chickens. The house did
not burn. Mr.. Franz Weinberg is an
old soldier, having served about four
years in the army, and proved up" on
his homestead about four years ago and
then moved to town with his family but
the democratic land commissioner was
not satisfied to let this old soldier have
his homestead thus easy, sought to
cancel his entry, and finally last fall
the secretary of interior decided that
to keep his claim he must show further
residence within his seyen years. Then
as winter came on, the seven years had
nearly expired, Mr.. Weinberg aud his
family moved again ON the claim, and
the wife paid the forfeit OF her life fol-
it. Thus do she infami,s of Sparks
regime again come upon us. The body
was brought to town and will be buri.
ed here tomorrow.

J.C. McManima, of Pierre, the new
territorial auditor, and T. II. Hagerty
of Aberdeen, the newly appointed com
missioner of immigration are heartily
endorsed by the press throughout the
territory as eminently qualified for the
positions for which they have been Sc.
lected. There was a strong feeling on
the part of republicans that commits
sioner Mcclure should be retained, but
it is confidently asserted that the new
governors plans contemplate clean
sweep, and if this be true it probably
accounts for the change in the admin.
istration of this Office, as the efforts OF
Mr.. Mcclure have been eminently sat
isfactory to all parties.

An Ancient Precedent.

Globe: Solomon was mistaken when
he said there was nothing new under
the sun. There have been several
things since his time-the daily paper
railroad, photograph and pig in the
pen puzzle. for instance. The trust
however, is not so modern as some OF
the other things. 1t is related that ir
A. d. 483 the Emperor Zeno issued ar
edict to the authorities at Constanti
nople prohibiting combinations tt
raise the price OF food. Possibly th'
modern lawmakers can find some
points in the early methods for use il
squelching the trusts of this age.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application. as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiam.d con-
dition of the mncus lining of the ens-
tachian tube. When the tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can he out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an iniiam-
ed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give five hundred dollars for
airy case of deafness (cansed by catar-
rh) that we can net cure by taking
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

Geo. b. Winship: 1t is understood

The Midnight Sun.

Imagine yourself Oh shipat anchor
looking west or straight in front of
you. There is broad expanse Of sea
a little to your right hand, behind you
will be the rugged coast, and to your
left the long, narrow ford between
the islands and the mainland that the
steamer has just traversed. You watch
the sun as it slowly, slowly sets; the
islands and the coasts look like rich
dark purple, and the shadows cast by
the ships mast, etc, grow longer and
longer. After bit, when the sun has
sunk apparently twelve feet from the
horizon, it stops and seems to remain
stationary for about twenty minutes;
then the very sea gulls hide away,
while the air all of sudden strikes
chilly Each one has an awed, ex-
pectant feeling; the tourist steamer
broods a silence that may be felt.
Soon the sun rises very slowly once
again, and the yellow clouds change
with his uprising to even greater
beauty, first to the palest primrose
and then to blush pink. The sky,
which was just now rose color, be-
comes gray, then pale emerald green,
and lastly blue. Rock after rock
stands out, caught by the suns bright
rays, and the reign of day has begun
once more. Jubilee Jauut to Nor

If you have good home here you
had better not go to Oklahoma. There
are 1880 claims to be taken and there
will probably be about 1875 900 boomers
on the border ready to step over when
the time arrives. If you think thele
will not be a lively scramble for those
lands and if you think there will not
be need of an army of soldiers to pre-
serve order, then you are certainly a
tender-foot, and no tender.foot need
apply for lands in Oklahoma.

never been year in the history Of the

Yankton Press: Dakota's depart
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, in annual encampmenta Aberdeen.
has done itself the honor to elect
George A. Sllsby, of Mitchell, its chief
executive officer. In accomplishing
this much in it's own behalf the Grand
Army has pulled itself out of a rnt
into which it had fallen through COM
binatlons partaking too much Of po-
political character to be creditable to a
purely non-political order. A year ago
Mr.. Silsby was brought forward as a
candidate for commander by an ele-
ment within the Grand Army which
held itself aloof from the Vaccinations
of those who were using the grand
Army as a stepping stone to political
renoMn. On that occasion he lad a
strong and determined following, but
it went down before the combination
and furled its banners in silence while
another twelve months passed. Atthe
late encampment at Aberdeen Mr.
Silsby was the leading candidate for
commander and secured the lection by
decisive vote over all competitors
The Grand Army of the Republic
could not have done better for itself
Associated with Commander Silsby
! are George b. Winship, of Grand Forks
as senior vice commander, $. III. Jum-
per, of Aberdeen, as Junior vice COM
mander, DIR. Bently, of Bismarck, as
medical director and T.. +. Clough, OF
Watertown, as chaplain. This is an
excellent list of officers.
