A GHOST THAT ROBBED
Record of an Interestin. Case That va,
Somewhat Rem .rkabIc.

A ghost robbed a house in London
in the year 1904, in a most approved
or disapproved fashion, and the case is
worth reporting. A gentleman who
appeared to be quite wealthy took
rooms in fashionable boarding house
in the locality mentione /. a short
time afterward he told his Landlord
that his brother was dead, and asked
nermission to bring the body to his
rooms while the arrangements for in.
torment were completed. Permission
was granted, and hand,one coffin
arrived, containing what app 'ared to
be a corpse in long white ,heoud
The coffin was placed in the dining
room, Next night, after all had re.
tired save the ledger and selva II maid,
an apparition appeared to the latter.
The appartion was tall 7pe"ter-hke
figure with every appea"anco of
ghost.
The maid rushed upstairs to her
master and mistress room. followed by
the ghost who mounted sentinel at the
door, contorted his features and waved
his hands. The maid crept under the
bed and her employers hid their faces
under the bed clothing.
At this time great noise like furni-
ture moving was heard in the house.
and the three terrified objects came to
the conclusion that the house had been
taken possession of by regiment Of
spirits. At last all was quiet the
ghost had disappeared, and seaIh
was made. The house was found t.
have been stripped of every particle O
furniture, and all the valuable tamil,
plate had gone, too.
No psychological society investigated
the phenomenon, but the police did
and the ledger and sham corpse wer
both hanged at Tyburn.

ABOUT OLEO.
Some Facts About the Making Of Iml-
tatiOn Butter.

tation Butter.
Oleomargarine retails at ten cents a
pound. average quality, says the Kan
sas City Star. Some manufacturers
made different grades and establish
scale of prices accordingly. There
are principally two grades. The
one at the price mentioned and grade
which sells at eight cents. Oleomar-
garine is mainly made of Oleo oil ex-
clusively, but sometimes per cent OF
the finest butter Is added, which is
churned with the cream and milk to
improve the flavor"
In making oleo-Oil, the selected fat
is taken from the cattle in the process
of slaughtering, and after thorough
washing is placed in n bath of clean
cold water and surrounded with ice,
where it is allowed to remain until all
animal heat has been removed.
machinery and melted at an average
temperature of $50 degrees until the
fat in liquid form has separated from
the fibrine or tissue, and then settled
until it is perfectly clear. Then it is
drawn into graining-vats and allowed to
stand day. when it is ready for the
process. The pressing extracts the
stearine, leaving the remaining prod
uct, known as cleo oil. 1t is this ar
ticle which, when churned with cream
or milk, or both, and with sometimes
n small proportion of creamery butter,
the whole being properly sailed, gives
the new food product Oleomargarine.
Each animal yields an average of
about forty pounds Oleo-oil.
Butterine sells at from twenty to
twenty-five cents pound and there is
pound. A manufacturer of oleomar-
garine when asked its difference from
buttcrine said:
1.-The difference between OlcOmarga-
rine and butterine is this: In making
butterine we use neutral lard, which il
made from selected leaf lard prepared
and rendered in Il very similar manner
to oleo oil. excepting that no stearine
is extracted. This neutral lard, which
is beautifully white and Odorless pro
duct. is cured in salt brine for forty
eight to seventy hours at an ice water
temperature. 1t is then taken, an(
with the desired proportions OF olet
oil and the finest creamery butter, il
churned with cream and milk, pro
ducing an article which, when properly
sailed and packed, is ready for market
We use the same coloring that is uset
by all butter makers. The butterin'
is generally made of two qualities
differing only in the proportions of thu
ingredients used. In cold weather I
little salad oil, made from selected
cotton seed, is used in both product
for the improvement of their texture
We get an average Of about eigh
pounds of raw leaf lard per hog, whicl
render net about five to six pounds 6
neutral. This neutral Is worth from
two to three cents per pound owe
ordinary steam rendered lard"
Creamery butterine is usually com
posed of 25 per cent Of creamer
butter, 40 per cent neutral, 20 pc
cent oleo-oil and the remainder cream
and salt. Dairy butterine differs fror
creamery only in the proportions

ton of butter about 10 per cent
neutral As per cent and oleo-oil 2
per cent, the remainder being cream
milk and salt.

ALL knowledge is the result OF the
union of two factors-One objective,
and one subjective. TO know any
thing is to prefer it to something
known before. Unless there be an in
ner group Of ideas to which the object
may in some way be referred, knowl-
edge OF it is impossible; and the char
acter of the resulting knowledge de-
ponds upon the character of the inner

lawmakers OF the country in relation
to the penalty for that top crime in
the calender-murder in the first de-

ishment or whether it be for some
other reason, the fact remains that

The Keystone's Idea Abroad.

A prominent mining man in Utah
proposes to a Tribune reporter that
the ore producers of that territory
organize and establish their own re-
duction works. By this means he
argues they can beat the lead-trust
and smelter combines on their own
ground. This means cooperation
in reduction Of ores, as proposed
by the KEYSTONE some weeks ago,
and it will prove in the end to be
the only satisfactory and final So
luton of the question. Organiza-
ton for the purpose of cooperation
and mutual benefit are distinctive
and peculiarly effective features OF
modern business. It will not be
abandoned by those who have found
it so profitable; neither can it be
successfully met, or its effectiveness
parted save by opposing organiza-
ton to organization. AS we'll face
an organized and disciplined army
with a wild and purposeless mob,
as to oppose trusts and combines
with men less thoroughly organ
lied, less inteligently imbued with
a purpose than they. Neither could
hope to succeed.
But our ore-producers can pro-
tect themselves, and can succeed in
reducing their ores at profit by
organization and cooperation. 10
do this they have but to erect re.
duction works here or purchase
those already here, either of which
we believe they could do by the
formation of company composed
Of the leading ore-producers o.
Upper Wood River and contiguous
mining territory, and taking out
and storing on their dumps or al
other convenient places, a sufficient
quantity of ore to meet the required
outlay. This done, if they foune
the smelters here could not be pur
chased at reasonable figure, they
would be in condition to put vi
smelters and could proceed to d.
so. Having their own smelter
erected and paid for, they would
being the owners of the ore, be per
fectly independent. They coult
smelt their ores at cost, saving tn
profits now paid to others and tn
freights paid to railroads; and in
stead of begging others to smell
their ores, they would see the tim
when those others would have t
beg for ores to smelt. The mines
the ores and the necessity for
smelter in operation are all here
and our mine-owners can certainl
procure the latter when organize
for the purpose, and with a will t
succeed.

Not Harmonious.

The Duboisites and the antl-Du-
boisites, although constituent parts
Of the g. o. D., are not harmonious.
While one faction is proud OF the
collars put on their necks by the
oily Fred, the other party led, 1t
seems, by so respectable q gentle
man as John s. Gray, regard the
same as badge of servitude and
disgrace, and are disposed to buck,
very proper thing to do. The
Dubois faction is led by Fem, who
is Speaker of the House. Gray is
Speaker of the Senate. The rest is
explained by the following extract
taken from the Salt Lake Times:
Yesterday a joint rule making the
speaker of the house the presiding officer
Of joint sessions Of the legislature was
introduced in and passed the senate. On
its face the rule looks very innocent and
courteous to the house. but when political
situations are considered shows pOlitl-
cal trick. The president of the senate,
Hon. John S. Gray, is pronounced en-
envy of Dubois, while Mr.. Fem, speaker
of the house, is one of Mr.. Dubois warm
friends. The rule virtually says that the
election of Fred T. Dubois as United
States Senator is irregular, and irregular
in the opinion of the Dubois faction, and
that this legislature may be called upon
to elect again in which case Mr.. Penn
will lie the presiding officer of the joint
committee.

Mr.. A. DoLLARHIDE called in this
week and submitted to the pump
ing process. He is a large owner
in the Dollarhide group of mines
situated at Smoky, and the present
showing made by their property is
highly encouraging, to say the least.
They have run three tunnels length
wise of their vein, each one below
it's predecessor, the lower one of
which at it's farthest point in the
mountain, is about 400 feet below
the surface of the hill. In the lowest
of these tunnels ore is found for a
distance of 40 feet, and the chute
or chimney it is in is not connected
with another chute tapped by the
two tunnels above, and from which
all of their ore thus far shipped
from the mine has been taken; but
it is thought hundred feet more
of tunnel will tap the original chute.
Both of the upper tunnels yielded
good ore, as did several upraises
made along their course. The walls
are from s to 20 feet apart and are
both of hard black rock, probably
lime. The space between them is
filled with gangue and clay, more
or less intersperced with ore, while
the ore seam proper is generally
about foot wide, but varies from
one to three and a-half feet. The
clay in which this is imbedded is
so tough as to be difficult of re-
moval, but slacks readily on being
exposed to the sun. and has yielded
by assay test as high as 1875 ounces
to the ton. lis average value is
somewhere between five and eight
ounces. The vein carries arsenica
and common pyrites of iron, which
very probably contain gold, al
though strangely enough, it has
never been tried for that metal
The ore seam is mainly on the foo
wall, but the richest ore is found or
the hanging wall. Mr.. D. think:
they have the finest vein in thu
country, and his description OF i
justifies his belief.

Railroad Business at Ketchum.

We give below statement of the
number of pounds of freight re-
ceived at, and forwarded from
Ketchum by the railroad for 1889
and 1890, from May LIST to January
LIST, inclusive, of each year. Also
the number of carloads forwarded
for the same period for 1890. AS
will be observed, both the totals re-
ceived and forwarded for 1889,
exceed by considerable amounts
the totals for 1890. But this is
readily accounted for by the fact of
the marked decrease in the popula-
ton of Smoky, Seafoam, Clayton
and other interior points which re-
ceive their freight via the Ketchum
depot. Making due allowance for
the diminution of population and
business at these points, and it will
be apparent that Ketchum has
gained rather than lost. It further
appears that we forward more
pounds of freight than we receive,
making it probable that if our ore
was worked at home Ketchum
would be the most prosperous camp
in the State:
