NOT ELIGIBLE.
That Is the Fix John Fairfield. Democrat,
Candidate for County Attorney. Ia In.

The nomination Of John Fairfield
for the Office Of county attorney Is one
OF the acts of the recent democratic
convention that requires some investi.
cation. That he is ineligible TO the
position must have been known to the
party managers when they put his
name on the slate, yet they seem to
have disregarded IL and intentionally
ii would seem, allowed his name to be
put on the ticket. His ineligibility
consists In his not having resided here
sufficiently long. The new constitu-
ton, under which he must, II elected,
take Office. says in regard to othls 'that
he shall hsve resided in this state or
territory at least one wear next pre-
ceding his election Mr.. Fairfield
came to Miles City some time in Feb
ruary or March last, II being as he
then s'aled tn many. his first settle
mant in the territory, he having been
travelling over the north wet in search
Of a location. 1t il clear then that Mr..
Fairfield IL debsrred by law from TAX
ing the office Of county sttorLey. even
should he he fortunate enough to be
elected. But IL has leaked out that 1t
is the intention of the democratic
party, II they are able TO elect major
ity Of the hoard Of county commission
ers. and at the same time elect Mr..
Fairfield, and bis eligibility is ques-
toned, to use the power of the board
and appoint him to the position. or
course II be ia elected and canno, quail
ify there will be vacancy, which the
board of commissioners have power b.
fill by appointment. His right to hold
under the appointment while ineligi.
BILE. rsn only he questioned by certain
legal pror edings, snd these could
easily I've delay ed until lie had com.
pleted his year o. residence here, when
he would bs appointed again. Thus
1t will be seen that IL is the deliberate
intention Of the democratic party to
cndeavor to foist upon the people Of
this county, in the important position
OF county attorney, man who has re-
sided here nut little more than half
the period required hy law, and 10 do
II by hook and crook. especially the
latter, in open defiance Of the require.
ments o. the constitution. To check
mate this game voters must see that
Mr.. Fairfield is defeated at the polls,
and TO make 1t dead sure, see that the
democratic commissioners are knocked
ont entirely.

CENTRAL ASIAN HEAT.
Living in Underground Houses to Escape
 the Red Hot Air.

It is stated in the official report that 702 persons died between the 14th and Eth of August at Bokhara of heat. and the figures, it is expressly added do not include children. If this amaz- ing calamity be not due to any atmos- pheric violence, as Bad-i-simoon, for example, it is probably unequaled in authentic records. But when we think of the agony, the horrible wretched- ness in which the whole population must have been living. it may well seem that those who found escape in death are not to be pitied. The hor- TOT of heat Is unknown to us, or, in- deed, to any part of Europe. though Naples and Athens are esperateiy trying sometimes. Bat to the native of Seinde, Central Asia, the shores of the Persian Gulf, the sun of Greece is but trine. The utter helplossness Of man under this lnhiction adds horror to his sutfertngs.
 There is no hope and no resource when the red-hot air penetrates to those underground chambers in which the summer is passed in Central Asia. The inhabitants, we learn. ..are shutting themselves up to escape'- probably closing all the apertures Of their subterranean abodes. except those absolutely necessary for venttla- ton. The air down below, under such circumstances. can not be imagined by one who has not had touch ofeXpefi- ence. Houses of good class are solidjy constructed under ground, with cham bers and doors and corridors. but the mass of the people inhabit big holes, rooted oyer, with no kind of perma- nent convenience. Every winter the frost and snow and rain play mischief with these rough pits, and the damage is not always nor often repaired by the following summer Fancy thou sands of Mongols in these dens, pur- suing their filthy habits in semi-darl1- ness. suffering the awful torment of heat children wailing, adults raving, always in want of water and generally of food, in an atmosphere beyond con ceiying. That is the picture which those few lines of telegram suggest to readers who know. London Standard.

FIRST SLEEPING GAR.
It Was Invented hy Theodore T. Wood.
 run in 1S54.

The first sleeping ear was invented by Theodore T. Woodruff. who got up his model in the office Of James Filling hast, at Rome. \. Y., in 1851, the lattes being at that time in the sery- ice of the Rome S Watertown rail- road Mr. Woodruff endeavored to interest Mir. Iillinghast sufficiently in hls invention to advance the cost of securing patent from the Govern ment but he did not have sufficient faith in it's possibilities and declined. IL was while in q sort of dazed con- dition of mind resulting from being knocked off the top of freight car by an old-fashioned incIosed bridge that Mr Woodruff conceived the idea of d sleeping ear. The model which he constructed in Mr. Tillinghast's g office was carried to Springfield. Mass, in an old-fashioned bandana handkerchief and submitted to Mr. Watson. the car builder, who. not. withstanding an almost universal ex- pression of disapproval by his en- ployes, built trial ear which made its first trips on tho New York Gen. tral and Rome 6S Watertown railroads. and later was taken to Cleveland. Cincinnati and other Western cities.
 The car afterwards became the property of the Ohio < Mississippi Railroad Company. on whose line it was regularly run. Woodruff sold the right to build and use his sleeper. on the New York Central railroad to. Mr Webster Wagner and or the Buffalo X frie road to Mir. George. Gates The "Gates' slcepers ran from 1859 to 1873. when they also passed into Wagner's hands. Pull man sleepers were introduced in 1861 or ls55, he having made a number Of important improvements on the pro- auctions of his predecessors. It was about 1862 that Wagner and Gates built their first car having the same general features us those now used.- Railway Age.

 Scared Of by Peasant.
 As is well known, lizards of all col- ors and sizes abound in Italy. They lie basking on all the stones, they run along all the walls, they peep out at every chintS and crevice; but as soon as they hear ;the faintest noise they disappear with lightning speed, and it is hard to see them near and to ob- serve them closely. Walking care lessly. and noticing the dear little an- imal5 darting now here, now there. l remembered the Greek statue of Apol- To Sauroktonos who i5 always repre- sented as busied with lizard-Apollo, god Of the sun aud Of music. Sup pose l try" I thought, and softly, quite softly l began to whistle dreamy old German air, and behold, a lizard lies still as though rooted to the spot, rising,,its little head in q listening attitude and looking at me with his sharp little eyes. Without stirring I continued my melody. The lizard came nearer and nearer. and at last approached quite close, always listen ing and forgetting all it's fears. As soon, however. as the whistler made the slightest movement 1t vanished into some ereviee, but to peep forth again n moment after and to listen once more. as though entirely en- trauced \ delightful discovery truly. and one of which l extended the field Of observation daily. At last as many as eight or nine of these little music lovers would sit around me in the most comic attitudes. Nay, two of them, mother and it's young one. would sit awaiting me as l arrived whistIing at the same hour of day, sit- ting on large stone under which was probably their home. With these, too, made some further experiments. Alter having made music to them for awhile 1 cautiously went few steps further, whistling on in soft. drawI- ing tones, such as 1 had found they best loved to hear, and see, verify, they followed me! Watching them with intense interest, l continued to whistle as walked on slowly, halting every few paees and being silent while halted and truly the little creatures followed, slowly 1t is true, but in straight line, at distance of about fifteen steps. until Ut last. unhappily. the heavy tread of a peasant put them to flight. But my experiment had lasted long enough to make me under stand the Apollo sauroktonos, and 1 once more reverenced the keen native observation of those old Hellenes Be- sides this. the legend of the kat catcher of Hamelin suddenly became much moro credible.-Eeisure Hour.

STORING CORN FODDER.
How to Keep Rats and Mice from Injur-
 ing This Valuable Crop.

ing This Valuable Crop.
 If the farmer has plenty of shed room to store the fodder in. it is ad- vlsable to cut the stalks off just below the ear, put in small shocks. and then husk and draw in as soon as fairly cured. If, however. the shocks must remain in the field until winter, it is best to cut eighteen to twenty inches below the ear, and put in larger shocks.
 If the corn is to be fed to the same stock as the fodder, husking it is not only unnecessary, but also waste Of time and labor. When the fodder is fed to young cattle or to horses, we usually husk out the large ears and feed the small ones with the fodder.
 In case there is not sufficient shed room on the place to contain the fod- der it should be riclled and covered. The best way to do this is first to mako foundation by setting two parallel rows of short posts two to four feet apart, according to the length of tho stalks, and on top of these spiking or otherwise fastening strong rails or poles. At each end of this foundation which may be as long as desired-a strong post six or eight feet high is set and well braced. The top of the foundation should be about fifteen inches above the ground.
 The fodder is placed crasswise of this foundation in alternate layers of about two feet in heiqht. That is, the fodder is laid with the butts one way to the height Of about tive feet and the opposite way the next two feet. This prevents the ricl1s from beeom- ing lopaided and falling over, and they may be built as high as convenient.
 When a rick is finished the top should be protected with cover of coarse hay, or with roof of cheap boards Iapped and nailed together If =lapped board covers are employed they may be held up while the fodder is being fed out by temporary seaf- folds, made by mailing u eross-piece to the top of short poles and setting them under each end,
 We have learned from experience that rats and mice injure corn fodder much less when ricked up in the man. ner above described that when stacked in a circle, placed in large shocks, or left in the field. And, moreover. it keeps much better
 In ricking. the main point is to get the foundation high enough above the ground, 90 that the cats can make il hot for any stray rat that may at tempt to make 1t his abiding place. Ii more than one rick is built there should be an open space between them of at least three feet. in order that there may be Il free circulation of air all about them.
 When the fodder is being placed in the ricks the stacker should alway- commence | layer or course at the same end and give each armful hall roll as he lays it, then it can be taken down very easily when fed out.-N. 1 |. EXaminer.

CENTERBOARD STEAMER.
X St. Louis Mans Plan to Combine Ocean
 and Inland Navigation.

ana Inland NaAIShIIont
 The problem of providing some method by which ocean-going cargo ships may reach the river cities has been taken up by Andrew H. Lucas, of St Louis. He has invented a twin-hull adjustahle-keel ship, which can be made eervieeable for the navigation of the ocean and of rivers of ordinary depth. The inventor is at present In this city for the pur- pose of consulting with Naval Arehi- teet Walfred Sylvan m reference to the plans of the vessel. which is to be built by C@2mp X Sons, of Phila delphia.
 i. "The Mississippi river" he said recently, 'is too shallow to accom- modate. ocean steamers of ordinary construction, and it is the purpose of the djustable-kcei vessel to overcome this difficulty To this end craft has been devised eenbining river steamboat and an ocean steamship. The ship has two huils, united Ut their forward end by solid bulk head, and having an open space be- tween them toward the stern. These hulls are intended as holds for the cargo, and will also afford space for the accommodation of part of the machinery used in propclling tie vessel. Each will have stationary keel. Between these hulls will be an adjustable keel, which can be lowered and raised ut pleasure. In short. this adjustable keel is the old principle of the eeaterboard adapted to sea-going ships of considerable tonnage.
 The false keel can be lowered by proper machinery in the space between the hulls to twice the ordinary inner sion of the loaded ship. That is to say. suppose the ordinary draught of q one thousand-ton loaded ship should be seven feet, under which conditions she could run up a river like the Missis- sippi as far as St. Louis at nearly all ordinary stages Of water, when she shou q be called upon to go to sea her false keel could be lowered to fourteen feet below the line of her normal draught, giving her total practical immersion of twenty-one feet, with corresponding resistance to storm or wind pressure above.
 ="W hen in use the upper part of the drop keel is firmly held in place by stout steel braces constructed along the entire length of the inner sides of the two hulls. The mechanism for raising and lowering 1t will be mount ed in connection with the engine shaft of the vessel. From the bow to a point over the forward end of this keel the ship is to be built solid, with water-tight compartments Her en- zines are to be of the triple-eXpansion type. and her motive power the twin screw. If our new system of propul- sion should be found practicable m extraordinary rate of speed is assured, as the construction Of the sh D affords admirable facilities for the use oi auxiliary twin screws placed near the stern of each hull. The experiment ship is to be called the St. Louis. II will be built of steel and in the best possible manner. It will be built to make twenty-five miles an hour on the ocean, and can not be sunk or burned n \. |. Times.
