MAKING A BLUFF.

At about noon, as was journeying on
horseback through North Dakota, | came
along to farm house which looked very
dilapdated, but which might furnish
comfortable dinner, nevertheless. 1t
seemed at first to be deserted, but after
awhile a bare-headed, coatless man an
swered my knocks and asked what was
wanted. When told him he replied:
stranger, I'm sorry, but | can't ac-
commodate you. My wife is down with
the chills."
"Too bad"
"And my oldest gal has got the jump
ing toothache. Just jumped her clean
over chair
"Ihat's hard lines"
"And the other gal has bin in bed three
weeks with thorn in her foot"

"And Eve got my every-other-day ager

THE WIRES AND A RECENT
STORM IN NEW YORK CITY.

At : 80 o'clock in the morning line
of Western Union eighty-foot poles fell
with Il crash in 59th street, carrying not
less than $50 single wires and two cables
two inches thick, with from forty to
seventy-tve wires in them, to the ground.
The cross-bars scraped the sides of the
brown-stone flats on the south side of
the street as they fell and shook the
buildings to their very foundations.
The fall made a sound like thunder.
startling people for blocks away. Many
of the enormous poles were broken in
three pieces and the cross arms were
shattered. The houses were so blockaded
by the wreck that until midday ingress
and egress was impossible. Police re-
ports are coming in slow, only sixteen
out of thirty-tive precints having sent re-
ports to police headquarters up to p. IN.
Mayor Grant has ordered the police
throughout the city to see to it that the
electric currents be not turned on the
various wires until the head of electric
control should certify that the wires are
safe. The dangerous condition because
of the wreckage was the cause of the
order. In consequence large portion
of the city will be darkness tonight
Several poles fell against the Union
Square Hotel, 18th street and It'll avenue,
doing some little damage to the building.
The entire line of poles on the west side
of Park avenue from 59th street to
10Th street down, encumbering both
street and sidewalk. The poles on 2Sth
street between LIST and Bird avenues and
between 9th and 10th avenues are down.
The debris blocked the l25th street cable
road for several hours.
At an early hour this morning a tele-
graph wire broke in front of No. ll5
Chambers street and fell across an cleo
trc light wire and received its current.
The wire fell on the horses OF an Sth av-
enue cal, and the deadly current killed
one of them instantly.
Two or three fires were caused by the
electric light wire, but were extinguished
with trllng damage. The whole story
of destruction will not be known until
tomorrow, although it is believed that
providentially no human lives have been
lost. The Western Union is badly Grip
pied by the storm, all the wires being
down but three, those being on the Yves
tern circuit connecting Albany, Roches-
ter, Buffalo and Chicago.
The work of repairs will take several
days and the company will suffer more
tomorrow, because of more business than
to-day. One thousand men will leave
the city today on the work of repairs.
The police and firemen are ordered to
cooperate each with the other in event of
! trouble in either branch of the service.
The blow was off shore, hence no damage
to Shipping is reported. Long Island is
dead to the world,-INew York Ex-

MCDOUGAllS' SHEEP DIP.

McDougalls' non. poisonous sheep DIP and
cattle dressing, scaD specific and insect cX-
tcIminatOr ON sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry, etc, has been used with great success
in this county tor several years. 1t instantly
eXterninatcs all ticks, lice and maggots; is
the only true specific for scab, and finely
stimulates the growth of the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at II
special strength il also waterproois the ficeccs,
thus aflording the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United States,
Great Britain and many places abroad it is
now generally adopted-having to IL large
extent displaced the use OF tobacco, arsenic,
lime and sulphur and poisonous mixtures
1t has important advantages over such dress

A merchant had a certain line of goods
which were graded in quality, ana for each
quality had certain letters marked on his
boxes. One day his son saw number of
these boxes lying about, and by making
pile of five of them, putting three in row
and two on top, he read the name of an
English poet. He made another combna-
tion of five boxes some of which had not
been used in his first lot, and got the name
of another English poet. He made still
another arrangement of five and found the

TWO GRANITE DEPOSITS.

THE BEST INDICTMENT.

WE have on our desk sample of
granite which Was taken from deposit
discovered about twelve miles from this
city, on the Wisconsin side of the river.
The stone is of AN extremely hard nature
and is said TO be superior TO that found
at Amberg. Last summer. the deposit
was accidentally discovered by some
gentlemen from Ohio who were hunting
I'm the vicinity, and they determined TO
submit the stone to the opinion of ex-
perts Accordingly several large blocks
were qnarried, brought To this city by
teams and loaded into car Mt the G. x
N. w. depot, and on Saturday were sent
to Toledo, Ohio. The hardness OF the
samples would indicate that the material
Is quite suitable for building purposes
aud IL is possible that the hunters have
discovered valuable desposit.
Range.
Crystal Falls has n deposit of granite
which appears TO be all but inexhaust-
able. The granite out crops In great
bluff on the east siue Of the Paint river,
within n stones throw of the railroad.
The stone is OF reddish caste. very
compact in its nature and is susceptible
Of high polish. This stone has entered
some into the construction of the new
Iron county court house; the great por-
tai arch is supported 10y six polished
columns OF the material which shows the
texture TO good advantage. Possibly
this is a better opportunity Tor capital

from Iron Mountain, by reason OF its
being near rail communication and the
further fact that It's excellent qualities
are well known, The attention of the
Ohio gentlemen, and capital from any
other state ls invited to our granite de-
posit,
