GREAT INVENTION.
Work Performed by One Man Which Orig
fnally Required Sixteen to Perform.


SHARON, Pa, Jan. 1Z--Probably the most
marvellous hydraulic machinery in the world
was placed in operation in the Wheatland
rolling mill Tuesday. 1t is designed for
rolling pipe iron. Huge slabs of iron weigh
ing hundreds Of pounds we're pulled from a
furnace glowing at white heat, placed on a
long iron bed, which moved forward, up
ward, downward and sideways pushing the
mass through rolls, back again, stopping
only when it had been reduced to proper size
in the shape of pipe iron. The whole opera
ton required the attendance of only one or
two employees, who controlled the machinery
by few simple levers. The saving in labor is
in proportion of sixteen to one. The ma-
chinery is the only sample of the kind in the
world, and 1t is pronounced marvellous by
mechanical experts twill be used in future
at the mill

We have at last discovered
the much sought for article.
The drill struck the famous hard
pan strata and the volume that
poured forth was surprising.

ed to see what an armful of it
you can buy for a very small

BISMARCK, July 3.-[S7ecial Like
the good whom the gods love, the one
house idea, so far as North Dakota is
concerned, has died in it's infancy. The
discussion commenced yesterday was
| contidued this afternoon and the decis-
i've vote showed an overwhelming senti-
ment against the resolution. Judge
Garland of Bismarck, opened the discus
sion against tho resolution and made a
solid argumentative effort and gave the
result of his researches into the history
of the single house idea. 1t seems to
have been born to trouble and never to
have escaped the curse. Wien he con-
cluded Johnson of Lakota, erected his
tail frame and made noise for half an
hour. He told Il good many things
which everyone had seen in Rollins
ancient history and enunciated the die
tum that "a single house is the thing"
He said Norway only had one-and look
at its history!-he wasproud of it. There
is small colony from Norway in the
convention and Mr.. johnson tried to
rally them by appealing to their patriot
1sm-but they all seem to have been
naturalized. Harvey Harris of Bismarck
has a good pair of lungs and makes
good speech. He said he believed in the
survival of the tittest and. while declar-
ing in favor of the coordinate branches.
challenged the advocates OF the one
house scheme to indicate an instance
where it had been success. Parsons of
Morton, got IN a shot at the average
legislature and Lauder OF Richland,
pitched his voice in an oratorical key and
made an excellent address in defense of
the resolution. He devoted himself al
most exclusively to the refuta.ion. or at
tempt thereat, of some OF ulge Car
lands arguments. Although his was 20
set speech, he made an impression that
will cause TIE delegates to Ir.ch up their
ears next time he takes the floor, when
there is an opportunity for speech. Mr.
Lauder, by the way, is regarded as
pretty smooth article if the expression
is permissible. and one of the best u1an
ia IL e convention. He'll be heard from
in the new state.

Bennett of Grand Forks, introduced
by request. the following: The legisla-
ture may provide that at the general
election immediately preceding the ex-
piration Of the term OF a United States
senator from this state the electors may
by ballot express their preference for
some person for office OF United States
senator The votes cast for such candl-
dates shall be canvassed and returned in
the same manner as for state ot1icers"
The object of the article seems to be
simply to give the people an opportunity
to express a preference for the guidance
Of the legislature, but does not make
such expression Of the people binding on
the legislature.
Mr.. Williams introduced resolution
calling upon the legislature to provide
for the office of commissioner OF agricul-
ture. ....I... .....-
This is the last day for the lntroduc-
tion of articles. One hundred and nine
teen of them have been proposed. Every
conceivable topic has been covered. On
some subjects, particularly apportlon-
ment, prohibition and taxation. half a
dozen or more have been introduced. No
new articles, except such as are intro
duced by committees as substitutes, can
henceforth be introduced except by
unanimous consent. .@
Parsons of Morton, presented a resolu-
tion which brings the Sioux Falls coDsti-
tuition before the convention as a whole
or part. The resolution was adopted.
1t provides that the Sioux Falls consti-
tuition shall be considered introduced for
adoption, section oy section. but that 1t
shall not be printed as it ls already on
the desks of the members in Longs leg
islative hand book. A good portion of
that constitution has already been intro
duced, johnson Of Nelson, having fired
in seven Or eight pages of it in a single
day.
NOTES.
There is every indication that the con-
vention will continue three or
four weeks yet. On every article
proposed number of delegates show a
strong disposition to talk about it as
long as the convention will listen to
them. This disposition is chatting the
business men and a number OF politicians
who want to be at home to look after
matters. The lawyers are most given to
consuming time in this way. As yet
little or nothing has been done in get
ting the constitution in shape-some OF
the members are said to be making more
money on this job by per diem and mile
age alone than they make at home and
are naturally loath to let the ''snap" get
away. .-..- 49,. 49,
In the South Dakota convention,
according to the Sioux Falls Press, 1t
