Exhaustion Of Natural Gas.

Prof. Orion, of Ohio, in a paper re.
Gently read before the American Assoc
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence, stated that there is not the faint
est doubt that the natural gas supply
i'll the Indiana and Ohio fields is not
only exhaustible, but is rapidly and
surely being exhausted. He said he
was yet to find a man c%onversant with
existing facts who does not entirely
agree with him. The gas is stored in
the rocks, where it has been for un-
told ages. 1t is not now being gener-
ated, and every foot that escapes to the
surface leaves the quantity remaining
for future use just SO much smaller.
The pressure of gas in the wells in the
Ohio and Indiana fields is steadily d.
minishing, the decrease already having
amounted to thirty or forty per cent.
In view of this, DIR. Orion urges the
imperative necessity for cities and
states to take action restricting the
lavish and wasteful use of gas. Even
the s~trictest regulations cannot pre-
vent the exhaustion of the supply of
gas in a few years, but they may put
off that exhaustion some time.-Sci. Il.

Timber Fires.

The smoke was so dense and heavy
in the vicinity of Rapid City yesterday
as to obsure the sun. 1t was caused by
a number of timber fires of large pro-
portions now ranging in the vicinity of
Hill City and Sheridan. Arrivals from
there yesterday afternoon state that
the fires have done an immense amount
of damage, not alone to standing
timber, but has also destroyed a great
deal of good pasturage, which people
in those localities had depended upon
to keep their stock during the coming
winter. Another large fire is raging
in the Limestone range, and it also has
been the cause of a great deal Of dam
age. The fires, it is stated, are due to
the negligence and carelessness Of rail-
road men and f~relghters. There was
a law recently passed by congress which
imposes a heavy penalty for such
carelessness, where the damage result
ing from it is to the timber or grass
on government laud, while on the
statue books Of South Dakota may also
be found laws relating to the same
subject and providing heavy punish
lnents for the ofense. 1t would be a
blessing to the country should those
laws be enforced, and the Journal calls
upon the press of the Hills to unite
with tin a demand that the authorities
make an effort to discover tho parties
responsible for the origin Of the present
disastrous fires and see that the parties
when found receive their just punish
ment. Through carelessness, and care
lessness alone, the country has and is
beng denuded Of its valuable timber,
the inroads made upon it from fires
alone each year being greater in the
aggregate than what is needed to sup
ply every industry and need to the in.
habitants. It is q shame that these
fires should be allowed to occur, and
one Of the greatest injuries possible to
infllct upon the country.-Rapid Jour.

For a good square meal 80 to Mrs
Kenefick's restaurant.

The STAR has upon several occasions
called the attention of the business men
of Hot Springs to the Importance Of
some organized movement for the pur-
pose of advertising Hot Springs and
we again refer to the matter. Only a
few days ago two men representing
the Chicago Times presented to our
citizens a scheme, and took, we UNDER
stand several hundred dollars out Of the
city. This same amount could have
been made to have gone a long way in
some other direction and we believe
where it would have done much more
good. II we had an organization
wherein all the advertising energies of
the city were centralized, and directed
in n line, no outside parties with
some guided scheme would come into
the city and take away our money.
There 4 thousands and thousands of
dollars seeking investment that would
come here If the advantages of the
city were properly brought to its notice
There r thousands and thousands Of
people that would come and locate at
Hot Springs if only a knowledge Of
Hot Springs was brought to them.
There L thousands and thousands Of
people in i'll health that would come to
the Springs If they were only made ac-
quainted with the healing qualities of
thewaters here. How shall we reach this
capital and these people? The answer
is obvious by persistent and consistent
advertising. No spasmod,c action such
as patronizing the Chicago Times or
falling into some other net set for us
will accomplish the purpose. Let us
lay the schemes ourselves and push the
advertising p~ersistcntly, aggrcssively.
Let us put our heads together aud de-
wise the best plan or the best series Of
plans and then act. We have suggest
ed the organization Of business mems
club. 1t matters not what it is called
only SO that the business men Of the
city get together and work together.
Now is the time to do it. If we expect
to get next year what we should have,
VIC must begin at once.

The following concerning a person
we'll known to the citizens Of the
Springs is taken from the Deadwood
Times: "Mr. and Mrs. Chas. McKibben
Of Minnesota, while out buggy riding a
few evenings ago. stopped on the road
side to see il there were any ducks IN
a pond close by. The horse became
frightened from some cause and
started to run. Charley turned him,
however, but in SO doing overturned
the buggy. He fell out and his wife
followed. The latter escaped injury,
but Charley sprained his ANGLE and re-
ceived several severe cuts on his arm
and side, by contact with a wire
fence. His shot gun was broken close to
the lock.
