It was one of those wild nights you
read of in nine novels out Of ten.
The cold spring rain splashed vicious

her periodical inspection tour, andspend-

With a sigh he rolled back in the
rocker, his feet in a chair and a news
paper spread open before him like a
screen.
Presently he chuckled, and wife and
mother looked up from their sewing in

"Rather a remarkable case" he ex-

about the corners of his mouth he read

Cheap Funerals in New York.

neighborhoOd, but such as they are the
poor people seem to have trouble paying
the bills. furnish what is considered q
respectable funeral for $3.50, but that
does not include any carriages. The
coffin and the hearse attendance is all
that can give for the money. The
people in this neighborhoed are mostly
Polish Jews and Greeks, who are nearly
all very poor, and $3.50 represents q
small fortune. Only few of them, in
my experience, have ever expressed any
objection to having their dead buried in
Potter's field, but they all are sensitive
and superstitious about the funeral, and
win sacrifice almost anything to obtain
a coffin and hearse.
'tThey seem to have no idea of the
value Of our money. A woman, whose
husband died the other day, came to me
with brass ring, which she thought /

Science in Bread Making.

At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society. held in
Washington, ID. G., the question of the
value of carbonate of ammonia as leav-
ening agent in bread, or as used in bak.
ing powders came up for discussion, in
which Prof. Barker. ofthe University of
Pennsylvania, and President of the Soci-
ETY.: DIR. Richardson, late Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
Washington; DR.. VIM. McMutrie, late
Prof. of Chemistry in the University of
Illinos; DR.. E. H. BARLEY, late Chemist
of the Brooklyn, N. Y, Board of Health,
and Prof. of Chemistry Of the Long Is-
land College, and others took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment of
ammonia. IL was stated as fact that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the
-four more soluble then the original
gluten, and that the bread in which this
action was produced by carbonate of am.
monia must be more digestible and
hence more healthful, and because ofthe
extreme volatility .. carbonate of am
monia. and as complete expulsion from
the bread in the process OF baking, il is
one Of the most useful. most healthful
and most valuable leavening agents
known.
These conclusions are born out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive expert
ments made BY Prof ]. w. Mallet. oi

Judge Gartlnar

The Seventh Judicial Circuit is no
longer without judge, and much to the
surprise of the great majority of the
residents of the circuit, William Gard
ner, of Rapid City, received the appoint
ment, Monday, Nov. 2nd At no time
since it has been known that Judge
Nowlin would resign. has Mr. Gardner
been considered an applicant for the
position. Either he and his friends
have being doing some quiet and effec-
tive work, or Governor Mellette, in
making the appointment, acted indie
pendently of all suggestions and recon-
mendations. Recognizing the fact that
the 'Judgeship must go to Rapid the
people of the other sections of the cir
cult are probably better satisfied with
Mr.. Gardner's appointment than they
would have been with any other that
could have been made. Judge Gardner
is the youngest man on the Dakota
bench, but is said to be an able and
studous lawyer He has been resi-
dent of Rapid City for five years, and
last fall was elected a member Of the
lower house of the legislature. The
Rapid Journal of the 30th ult., contains
the following biographical sketch:
William Gardner is son of Scotch
parents, both of whom were born in
GLASGOW, Scotland. He was born in On
tario, Canada, about thirty years ago,
and while quite young moved with his
parents to Central Iowa, where he grew
to manhood. In 1880 he graduated
from the Mitchell, Iowa. seminary, and
from there went to the Jacksonville,
Illinois, college where he took classical
course and graduated in 1884. He then
took the post graduate course in Johns
Hopkins university at Baltimore during
the years 1884 and 1885. His parents
being limited in worldly goods he earned
he way through the different colleges
he attended. Returning from the east
he took up the study of law as his
chosen profession and read in the office
of II. ID. Russell, city attorney of Mime
apolis. and was admitted to practice by
the supreme court of the state of Min
nesota in November, 1888. He located
in Rapid City during the month of De-
cember OF the same year, and has since
followed the practice of law before the
different courts Of the state.

The New York Press Exposes that "Im-

The article credited to the New York
Press going the rounds of the papers, in
which it is alleged that rnfayorable ac-
tion has been taken in the New York
Legislature against the Royal Baking
Powder, proves to have been a canard,
gotten up and circulated by opposition
baking powder makers Tor the purpose
quite apparent to every one.
The New York Press, in exposing the
fraud, says: "No such legislation as
that stated in this article has ever been
had in this State--or in any legislature,
to our knowledge" The lie is made
from whole cloth. The Press discaims
any responsibility for the publication,
and objects to being made a party to
such methods adopted by some baking
powder manufacturers in their efforts to
substitute their goods for others now in
use.

Analysis Of Tin Ores.

DIR. J. S. G. Wells, in a communica-
ton 70 an English trade journal, states
that the methods for the analysis of tin
ores are so tedious and unsatisfactory
that he was led, some time ago. to try
to discover some simpler way of decom-
posing the ore, that being the chi eff
difficulty in all the old methods. After
various experiments the idea occurred
to him that the ore might possibly be
reduced in the same way as the artificial
oxide, i. e.. by means ofnasten hydrogen.
On trying the experiment he found
that in this way the tin contained in
metallic state. His first tests were made
as follows: About one gramme of the
finely pulyerized ore was placed in a
large tube with few pieces of zinc
and some diluted hydrochloride acid.
The first trials were made on an ore
from Cornwall, and it was found to be
very easily reduced. A sample of Dur
ango ore, consisting Of nearly pure
casiterite was then tried, but the re-
duction did not take place as readily as
with the ore from Cornwall the reduc-
ton of the latter was nearly complete at
the end of an hour, whilst the former at
the end OF three hours showed little
change.
He then added piece of platinom to
the zinc and acid, and found the result
to be very satisfactory. Heating the test
to boiling was also found to aid the re-
action. The addition of the platinum
also facilitates very much the subsequent
solution OF the reduced tin in dydro-
chloric acid, tin alone dissolving but
slowly in the acid. 1t is advisable to
shake the test frequently during the
reaction, so as to keep the ore in con-
tact with the zinc and platinum. As
soon as the decomposition Of the ore APP
pears to be complete, the remaining
zinc and the reduced tin are dissolved
in hydrochloric acid and filtered from
any undecomposed ore or gangne. This
residue should again be tested in the
same way, with fresh zinc, platinum
and hydrochloric acid. to see If all the
tin has been extracted by the first
operation. Alter the tin has been OBJ
tanned as chloride, II can OF course be
determined by any ofthe usuafp thods.

The New Minnekahta.

Last Monday morning at Hot Springs,
force of men was put at work clearing
away the ruins of the old Minnekahta,
recently destroyed by fire, and when
that is completed the foundation of the
finest hotel in the Hills will be COM
menced. The building is to be put ap
by Fred Evans, its erection will be
pushed all winter and by the first day
of June next, it will be ready for occu-
pancy. The Herald gives the following
description of the building and its
equipments:
In shape it will be something like the
letter III, consisting of two large blocks,
each 45 feet wide by l04 feet long, joined
together with section 40xi4 feet IL
will be built from the ground, there be-
ing no basement to any part Of the
building, and will be four full stories in
height. Wide porticos will extend all
around the building except in the rear.
There will be no stoves or heating APP
paratus in the building but at safe dis
tance away there will be a steam heat
ing apparatus with which the hotel and
the Minnekahta business block will be
heated. The laundry will also be de-
tached and with it Will be all the rooms
and sleeping apartments for the help.
There will be 100 sleeping rooms ex-
elusive of Office, dining room, parloIs,
check and clothes rooms, and each
sleeping room will have a separate
cleset, besides by the arrangement every
room will have outside light 1t will be
lighted with electric light and furnished
with both elevator and large and con-
venient stairs. In at least half dozen
sleeping rooms on each floor there will
be hot water baths Of the mineral water
for guests who are not able to ride to
the bath house. The dining room and
culinary department will occupy the en-
tire lower floor of the east wing and the
dining room will be about 3Sx70 feet.
The building will be entirely of the
Evans pink sandstone and will stand as
il were with the stems of the letter II
pointing north and south. Along the
courts between the two wings will be
large and capacious verandas where
guests can resort in the afternoon and
be cool and shady, while fountains will
be put in having a constant spray OF
water playing out in the recesses. The
building will be set back so as to leave a
large and beautiful grass plot in front
and to the south and it will be a VERT.
able watering place hotel. built for CON-
fort and pleasure. IL will be practically
fire proof and no expense will be spared
to make it the equal of anything in the
western country.

OTHER ELECTIONS.
Returns from other states are fraught
with good news, the republican party
has won some peculiarly important vic
tories under circumstances that made
the contests bitter and the outcome
questionable. The results brighten the
prospects for republican success in 1892.
In Ohio, Major Mckinley is elected
governor by 20000 and the figures may
be increased. Campbell comedies his
defeat by $1,000. 1t is splendid and
certain vindication of the republican
financial policy. BY the people of the
Southern Hills Mckinley is looked upon
almost as personal friend and his
sweeping victory is hailed with delight
by them.
IN Nebraska, Judge Post, republican.
is elected to the supreme bench by
majority of 5000 over Edgerton, inde-
pendent. 1t was vital contest between
the republicans, and a supposed COM
bination ofdemocrats and independ ents.
the result will help to straigthen out
Nebraska politics which had become
terribly mixed.
Pennsylvania elected the republican
state ticket by large majority.
Flower, democrat, is elected governor
Of New York, but lost 5000 Of the
votes cast in New York City for Hill
two years ago.
Iowa elects democratic governor,
but the republicans will control the
legislature.
In Massachusetts,, Russell, democrat,
is elected governor by small plurality.
The republicans elect lieutenant gov
ernor, the balance of the state ticket.
and control the legislature.
