A Big Blast.

Probably the largest blast ever put off
in the Black Hills was discharged on
the B.& NJ. grade near the northern
limits of this city by contractors Cable
& Chute on Friday of last week. Fifty
FIVE kegs of black powder and $50
pounds of giant were used. producing
an explosion which fairly made the
mountains tremble, and displaced many
thousand ions of rock. The residence
of Peter Mckinney located near by, was
literally buried under the debris, and
would have been utterly demolished had
he not taken the p~recaution to protect
it with heavy timbers. A location neal
a rock cut on the line of Q railroad
grade. however charming it may be to
the eye, is nevertheless undesirable,
and a good place to remain away from
pending the completion of the funny
work in the cut.

sidence on Saturday at 2:30 p. M, by
Rev, G. C. Ulmer. pastor Of the M. E.
Church of this city. Text-Psalms
X X, 7th. "The law of the Lord is
perfect" Many friends and neighbors
were present to participate in the last
sad rites. Again may our hearts 60
out to those who sorrow.
The deceased had long been afflicted
with bronchocele, a tumor on the fore
part of the neck, causing spasms Of the
CLOTHS, which laterally had became more
frequent and severe, producing intense
~suffocation which was liable to cause
her death at any time. Her case was
extremely critical, as the removal OF
tumors of this character are necessarily
attended with much difficulty, and ex-
IRENE danger and only in rare cases
are successful in ~prolonging the life Of
the patient.
The operation of the removal of the
tumor at the request OF the deceased,
dilu hS u idst ICSoi W saw hCi nv Nuo
performed on Friday by DIR. w. II,
Preston, Of Omaha, assisted by DIR. ID. w
Flick, o fRapid CITY, and DR.. o. Fisher,
Of this city, and the success Of the
operation. in q surgical view, is amply
attested by the fact Of the patient hay
| ing sustained q loss OF less than one
| pint of blood; but as feared by the
operating surgeons, the shock was Il
great for the patient to bear. The de-
ceased rallied after the operation had
been performed, but very o o sue
cumber to a spasm coming on just be
fore the completion of the operation
passing away in less than four hours
afterward.
Mrs. Harbach leaves many friends In
this community who are deeply stricken
with sorrow over her sad demise, wh'
will unite in extending their earnes
sympathy to the sorrowing HUSBAND
in his deep bereavement.-Ed.

STOCK ,rEMs.


Fatten all sows that are not just what
you know you ought to keep for breed
ers and let the butchers have them.
Excessive growth or fattening is at .
great expense of food. Better a contin-
uous good growth and no examining
stages.
The preparations for the care of the
early lambs should be made, as it will
be but short time before the ewes
come in.
The man who buys good animals and
gives them scrub feed ought, to be con-
sistent, not to hoist his umbrella in a
rainstorm.
Too much of the winter care of stock
is trusted to a chore boy, who has no in
terest for his employers property, and
who does not possess the judgment of a
man.
Look out that the cattle do not get
lousy. A little lard and sulphur, thor
oughly mixed, rubbed along the back
bone from horns to tail once week for
few weeks, is good.
It is often profitable to grind grain for
the pigs where farmer has mill of his
own and can do it at odd times. But to
haul it to mill and back and pay toll
takes most of the profit out.
The presence of two or three inferior
cows in a herd affects the average profit
of the whole. If dairying is to be con-
Quoted as paying business, the most
important requisite is good cow in
place of an inferior one.
A pedigree will not render the animal
superior. Pedigree alone shows to
which family it belongs. It is safer,
however, to rely on an animal with a
pedigree than to expect merit in an ami
NAL of unknown breeding.
Every farmer should raise pigs and
cure his bacon. There is no meat equal
to that produced at home. You will at
least ''know what you are eating
which is a valuable point in favor OF
home-raised meat, as only healthy.
thrifty stock will be used for the home
supply.
A Western dairyman says that warm
water not only increases the quantity OF
the milk in winter but also improves the
quality. Cows, when water is not amply
provided will drink from stagnant pools,
but when the dairyman determines to
give his COWS warm water he is sure to
have it clean, as he goes to the pump for
his supply.
To cover horses bit take strip of
strong cotton cloth about twelve or
fourteen inches long by an inch and a
half wide. Commencing near the mid
die wind the strip back and forth over
the bit and fasten the end of the cloth
with strong thread near the center of
the bit. This is as durable as leather
covering, and is much more quickly

ROYAL PRETENDER JUDGED.

The Duke of Orleans Suddenly Makes His
Appearance in Paris and is Promptly Ar
rested.
PAMs, Feb. s.-By prompt action the
Government has nipped in the bud what
was apparently intended to be Royal
coup detdt, modelled after Louis Ma
poleon's descent upon Boulogne, and the
consequence is that the Duke of Or
leans, the eldest son of the Count OF
Paris, is in custody.
The Duke arrived in Paris yesterday
bearing a letter written and signed by
the Comte de Paris, announcing to the
faithful and to all others the Counts
abdication. He also had with him a
manifesto addressed to the people of
France. Nominally, and according to
the theory of pretenders, pretender is
always a king; and therefore the
Count of Paris abdicated the throne he
never possessed. He consequently alb
dictated his claim as pretender, and in
virtue of this abdication, all his claims.
rights and titles descend to his eldest
son, the young man now in the hands of
the authorities, Philippe Louis Robert,
Due d'Orleans, who is therefore not
merely one of many Princes, but the &C
tual pretender to the throne by virtue
Philippe and also of the old Bourbon
line.
Tie Dukes Coming into the country
in violation Of the law banishing all the
heads and direct heirs of reigning fam
lilies is a rash escapade if it stands
alone, but the fact that he was equipped
with an appeal to the Nation showed
his intention and may make that escap-
ade serious for kim. If it should de-
velop that this movement is made in
virtue of an understanding with the
partisans of the monarchy in France il
may be more than a mere violation OF
the law of expulsion.
Further disposition of the case will,
of course, depend upon whether it is
discovered that there was any plot for a
general Royalist movement behind this
incident.

of If alighting on the house Of John
Brown just north of the church, crush
ing it in like an egg shell. The tower
of the church, it is feared, is SO badly
shattered it will have to be torn down.
The roof of the large new building
lately erected by the Pennsylvania Con-
struction Company, below the town, was
also blown of. A horse and wagon
driven by James Rush was blown over
Gray's hill. No one was seriously hurt
Postmaster Bakers new house was
nearly demolished, as were also Joseph
Frankenbury's and John w. Ringers
houses.
None of the coke works are running

Coke Ccsnpany's Office at Brownfield was
blown down and entirely demolished
The end was blown out of the engine
house at Leith and the Warren glass

last evening. In this section the loss
will reach $4,000. j. NJ. Herreck's

position by the Mexican Government OF
irksome quarantine regulations in regard
to American hogs and yesterday was in
formed that a telegram had been re-
ceived from United States Minister
Ryan imparting the information that
the Government of Mexico would
issue orders without delay recalling
the obnoxious regulations. Secretary
Rusk is much gratified at the removal
of this restriction and regards it as
being possibly forerunner of a more
liberal policy in regard to American
meat products on the part of other for
eign countries-a change of policy which
he thinks would be facilitated should
Congress confer upon him full powers in
the matter regarding meat inspection.
