Boots Impediments to Swimmers.

In briery, snaky country boots offer
protection that cannot be had from
shoes. The difficulty of removing them
in an emergency, however, is point
against them. Perhaps one of the
worst times to be caught with tena-
ciously clinging boots on is when man
has to face an accidental and compul-
sorry plunge into deep water. To him
these things are as fatal to progress as
an oar would be with perpendicular
blade fixed stationary in boat. The
boots hold water and increase the risk
of drowning even TO strong swimmer.

Struck a blower.

Tom Sorenson, two miles from Er.
win, Kingsbury county, has been bor-
ing for water for some time, and last
Friday night the hole was down S3S
feet. Next morning he heard q report
like that OF a gun, followed by q sound
like the whistle of thresher engine
and he thought an engine had really
pulled up to his back door. Going to
his well, the mystery was solved. A
strong ill.smelling was blowing out OF
the bowels Of the earth and he at once
decided that it was natural gas. A
number OF visitors have been there
and all are of the same opinion.

Floor for Dart Cellars.

All city cellars, and many in the
country towns and villages, are cement
ed, which under most conditions is the
safest and cleanest flooring. But in
the country. where the ground is not
poisoned from leakages of sewers or
the foul gases of cesspools, and where,
yet further, the ground is dry and
sandy, cellar bottom of well beaten
earth is not unwholesome and has
mysterious capacity for keeping fruits
and vegetables beyond that of cement
ed cellars Such a cellar should have
boards for walks to bins, barrels and
cupboard. to keep the housemother
from fretting over the dirt tracked
up" If these boards are occasionally
turned over when swept there will be
no trouble from dampness or saw
bugs" Raising them up slightly from
the ground by inch cleats nailed to the
under side of the boards is another and
better method. -Harper's Bazar

It's a Success.

A farmer in Minnehaha county says
the Sioux Falls Press has proven that
farming is a success. w. III. Nelson
has q farm adjoining Sioux Falls he
cultivated thirty-five acres OF wheat
and threshed out 1920 bushels, an
average Of over twenty-nine bushels
to the acre. From Is acres Of oats
he received 800 bushels, an average
OF sixty bushels to the acre. On
thirty-tive acres he grew 400 bushels
of flax. an average OF fourteen bushels
to the acre. Fifteen acres yielded $50
bushels OF barley, an average OF forty
two bushels to the acre, and he esti.
mates that his sixty"acre field OF corn
will pan out 5000 bushels. This be
regards as a conservative guess"

following information: "The American

states, has been brought face to face with
grave legal obstacles to the contamination
These are of such a character that, after

CAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE.

secession of the Mccormick Harvesting

FoRcE BILL MEN BUSY.
An Effort to be Made to Get it Before
the Senate Again.

the Senate Again.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Senator Hoar
turned over the force bill 10 Senator Spooner
last night and left for Boston to attend the
funeral of Judge Devens. Senator Spooner
was directed to get the signatures on the
republican side of tho Senate to a new
pledge to support the force bill, including
of course, voting for motion TO take it up.
So far, it is stated, Senator Spooner has re-
ceived less than thirty Of the forty-five sigma
ture required to make the resurrection
move effective. Senator Hoar was, how
ever, hopeful Of getting the whole forty
five, and may do 30 on his return.
HIS LAST RESORT.
If he fails in this his plan will be, it is be-
heved, to get the anti-force bill republicans
to agree to take the force bill up on Thurs
day next, the financial bill having been
disposed of, and keep it before the Senate
for few days, laying it aside temporarily "
by unanimous consent to take up Senator
Paddock's pure food bill or the reapportion-
ment bill, and never going back to the
force bill. This would set Senator Hoar on
his feet and then let him down again, but it
would let him down easily and gracefully.
THE ANTI-FORCE BILL MEN SOLID.
Possibly the anti-force bill men may
agree to some such scheme as this, but
there is no reason to believe that they will
let the force bill be brought up for passage.
They have been greatly strengthened in
their position since Monday by the almost
unanimous approval of the influential
newspapers of tae country, as well as by
private letters and kilograms, and are more
certain than ever that the force bill is not
wanted by the country. President Harri-
son has resumed his efforts to constrain
anti-force bill senators to support, or, at
least. to let it come to a vote, but his inter
ference hurts rather than helps the bill.

a shilling in six months. They demanded
work, and told the guardians that they
were driven to desperation by the suffering
they and their families endured. The
guardians promised to do their utmost to
relieve their distress. but the means Of the
guardians are limited.

$50, 900 of the county funds, having received
the deposits Of the county treasurer, while
knowing themselves to be insolvent, and
converting ths same to their own use. The
complaint was made under the
provisions of the act approved May
9, 1889, relating to the receiving
of deposits by insolvent bankers, law in
favor of which Senator Delamater voted.
The complaint was read, a plea of not
guilty entered and a hearing was waived.
Bonds were given in $4,000 by each Of the
defendants for their appearance at the Feb
ruary term of the COURT
The suits against the Delamaters are due
to the poor showing made by the statement
of the appraisers appointed to examine the
assets and liabilities of the firm. That
statement was filed this week. 1t shows
that the liabilities are 81, ,040, 900, and the
assets in round numbers about S00,0 900, so
that the creditors cannot hope to recover
much more than 25 per cent. of their
claims. A public meeting of the unpre-
ferred creditors will be held Monday TO
take steps for an investigation of what
