There is to be a meeting of the District
alliance at Tilford, on Nov, -, 'S9,
lnext Tuesday, at 10 o'clock a. IN. This
meeting should be well attended, no
local alliance should fail to be repres-
ented there by a full delegation. There
are several important questions coming
up for consideration, principal among
which is that OF establishing an alliance
supply depot in the Black Hills and also
the point at which the same is to be
located. No more important question
can possibly come up, and indifference
means to allow the scheme to fall
through. If the alliance organization is
to be a success it's members must be
ready at all times to give it the neces-
sary time and honest effort. "What is
everybodys business is nobody's." II
you are tempted to think that some one
else is running the machine, or that it
don't make any difference whether you
attend alliance meetings or not, just re-
member that there are a large number
OF other members thinking the same
thing. Hyou compel a few members tc
do all the work they will soon grow
weary and allow it to 60 nndone. II
this matter Of a supply depot the ALI
nee men of this vicinity are vitally
interested. We want to get the mali
house in Rapid City s is entitled

but that fact won't keep Sturgis, Tilford
Whitewood and several other town
from attempting to secure it. Don't lie

news shows that there has been a political
landslide in the east. Virginia, which was
claimed to be in Mahone's pocket, and was
to be the first break in the solid south, has
buried the little renegade under a 10000
majority. Ohio, the state that has been
patted on the back and fed federal pap
by every republican administration since
the war, has showed the great Foraker un-
der and placed Campbell. the democratic
leader, in the ~gubernational chair. New
York. the state that elected Harrison, has
gone hopelessly democratic. New Jersey
has followed her big sister and announced
herself opposed to republican dominion.
But Iowa, the banner state, the state of in
tslligsnce, the state of mighty majorities.
the home of Allison, the stamping ground
of Clarkson, the glorious Paradise of re-
p~ublicanism, the state where democrats
had no rights and for a third of a century
have claimed only the right to live, she
too has repudiated the old time bosses and
swung into the democratic line. Here
after q democrat will rise from the seat
so long held sacred to the great Allison

The day of solidity is over, and the day OF

did IN administration receive such a slap
in the face as Harrison's has just got.
The brood of broken promises are coming

The Sunday Call editor has discovered
thataftera steersoes to a Newark slaugh-
ter house nowadays. the only thing that
is wasted is his dying breath, and if it
we're possible to find some use for that,
no doubtit would be caught and pre-
served. Nothing else is wasted from the
tip of the tongue to the brush on the
end Of the tail. The blood is caught and
sold to make alhumen for sugar lefiners
and other manufacturers, one use OF it
being the cheap substitute for hard rub
Der and other plastic material used in
the manufacture of buttons and other
materials. Next the hide is taken off,
and after the meat is dressed, the con-
tents OF the stomach are removed and
baled for manure, and the stomach
itself prepared as tripe. The head is
skinned and denuded OF flesh for the
sausage maker, the horns are knocked
off and go to the comb maker, who
knocks out the plth and sells it to the
glue manufacturer, who is ever ready to
take all the refuse from any part OF the
steer. The horny covering OF the hoofs
are almost as useful as the horns for
making buttons, etc, and the feet make
oil and glue. The shinbones make the
finest Of bone handles for various pur.
poses, and al. the remainder OF the bony
structure which the butcher is
unable to sell with the meat finds
it's way eventually to the man
iufacturer Of bone fertilizer and bone
black. With the bones there is usually
considerable marrow, grease, and glue
stock, all Of which is used by the bone

How to Make the Grounds Around Country
Homes Attractive.
Nowhere does individual taste more
clearly betray itself than about the
homes of the more or less well-to-do
people scattered all over the country.
Village improvement societies have
done something toward awakening
public sentiment in this direction, but
individuals can do more by making
their own grounds attractive and keep
ing them in order Herein lies the
secret of success. No amount OF elab-
crate designs can compensate for I'M
shorn grass, untrimmed trees or neg
leeted nower-beds. II only one of the
three essentials of good lawn is
practicable, namely. grass, trees and
flowers, by all means give us grass

beautiful by trees alone, but all near
grounds require this velvety covering
to render them attractive to the eye

lawns. This is usually the result OF
too much shade and neglect to keep
up the soil. The best way to remedy
the trouble, if moss and weeds pre-
dominate, is to pillow up and enrich the
soil. Grade, il necessary, and sow with
lawn-grass seed, and take proper care
thereafter. II grass is only thin, more
food is evidently wanting. An occa-
siOnal top-dressing OF some approved
fertilizer through the summer is ad-
yisable, but it should be put on just
before a rain. A coat of well-rotted
manure is beneficial in the fall. When
this is raked off in the spring, grass
seed should be sown wherever bare or
thin places are visible. This treat
ment. with the frequent use of the
lavn-mower, leaves little to be desired
in this direction. American Agricnlt-

An improved headlight for locomo-
tives has an adjustment which allows
the engineer to conveniently direct the

points off the line The lantern is
supported on a frame or platform,
which has movement to right or left
about a vertical axis. aud also up or
down by the same means. the operat-
ing mechanism leading back to the
cab, so as to be within ready reach OF
the engineer. He is enabled, by this
arrangement, TO examine dangerous or
doubtful parts OF the road, and in
stormy weather to turn the light upon
threatening trees or masses OF earth or
rock upon either side, and which are
liable to fall. The device also permits
of the lantern being turned so as to
throw the light across sharp corners
and exhibit the line OF track at some
distance ahead of the train and at
points which would be entirely out of
reach of the light in its usually fixed
position. According to the usual con-
struction and employment of locoms-
tive headlights, they are fixed to the
engine front in such manner that the
light is always thrown forward and
concentrated in one line only-tbis

Processes That Are Decidedly Disagree
able to the Unlnitiated.
Every Russian trading post. accord
ing to Mr.. Dali, has bath-house, and
once week all the people avail them
selves of its privileges. The apparatus
is simple, not to say primitive. but the
method is what might be called heroic,
especially the dressing in a room where
the temperature is below zero. A rude
arch of loose stones is built. and more
stones piled over it, so that fire made
beneath the arch can penetrate between
them.
There is no chimney, but a trap-door
in the roof. A large cask full of water
heated for the purpose, and another of
cold water, generally with ice floating
in il, and succession of benches, one
above the other, complete the equip
ment. When the stones are thoroughly
heated, and the smoke has all passed
out, all Goals are removed and the trap
door is shut: any smoke or Goals re-
naming will make the eyes smart and
the bath very uncomfortable. Each one
leaves his clothing in an outer room,
and on entering vets his head and
throws hot water on the heated stones
until as much steam is produced as he
can bear. Then he mounts as high on
the benches as he finds comfortable,
and the perspiration issues from every
pore. Next he takes a sort of broom
or bunch of dried mint or birch twigs,
with the leaves still on them, which is
prepared at the proper season and
called neenik. With this he thrashes
himself till all impurities are thor
oughly loosened from the skin, and
finishes with a wash-off in hot water
and soap. Then taking . kGDtGg, or
wooden dish, full of ice-cold water, he
dashes it over himself. and rushes out
