Tho Romans Did Not Use Soap.
The Romans were not acquainted
with the use of regular soap, but they
employed an alkali. with which tht
greasy dirt was dissolved out Of theil
clothes. This alkali, called nitrum, il
referred to by Pliny, but the cheapest
solvent was urine, which was mostly
used. The clothes were put III this

upon with the feet. This process wa

But Dorothy Osborne was too beautiful
and accomplished girl not to have many
other admirers. In short time Oliver
Cromwell became the Chief Magistrate Of
England, and his son, Henry Cromwell,
also fell i'm love with Dorothy. Nothing
was too much trouble for Henry Cromwell
to do for Dorothy Osborne. She was fond Of
large dogs, as some pretty girls Of our own
time are and young Cromwell had orders
sent to his fathers officers in Irelan to
procure for her the finest greyhound to be
found in that kingdom
Temple was an unknown young man,
and Cromwell was the son of the Lord
Protector; and DorOthy's family frowned
upon Temple, and gave every encourage
ment to Cromwell. But Dorothy was true
to her love. one of her brothers (et us be
sure it was not Brother George remon-
strated with her, and she wrote to Temple,

many years, and at length they were laid
side by side in Westminster Abbey, where
they still lie Dorothy died in 1894, and

should call her Lady Temple but who can
think of her standing before the Paria-

Mhnt Some Things Have Cot.

The magnificent national Capitol at
Washington has cost, since the laying of
its cornerstone in 1893, very nearly Sl5,-
600, 1000, but the state capitol of New York
at Albany, although not yet completed &C
cording to the architects designs, has al
ready cost almost $50, 900, and is the
most expensive building of modern times.
The largest and most expensive city
hall in the United States is that of Phila-
delphia, and its principal tower is to con-
tain the largest clock in the world.
The greatest price ever paid for a horse
was $50, 900, given by MIR. Malcolm Forbes,
of Boston, for Arion, which he bought of
Senator Stanford of California. Axtel the
trotter, brought Sl0J, 900 when three years
old, while in 1891 St. Blaise was sold for
100000.
One hundred and three thousand dollars
has been offered and refused for a Hebrew
Bible now in the library of the Vatican at
Rome. This makes it the most valuable
book in the world, so far as dollars and
cents go.
In 1886, when the entire Dutch nation
was crazy upon the subject of tulips, sin
gle bulb was sold for $500 AT such
prices it would pay better to raise tulips
than to own the most valuable gold mine
in the world
Speaking of gold mines, where do you
suppose the most valuable bit of ore ever
smeted in the world, so far as is known,
was found? In California or Australia or
India? No, indeed. 1t was a lot contain
| ing POO pounds of quartz-holdng gold at
/ the rate of $4,000 per ton, and was found
in a mine at Ishpemng, Michigan.
The costiest cigars ever exported from
slNr
for the Prince of Wales, and valued at S1.S7
| apiece in the factory.
The largest sum ever asked or offered
| for single diamond was -, 100000, which
| the Prince of Hyderabad, in India, agreed
| to give the jeweler who then owned the
Imperial which is considered the finest
stone in the world.
The Shah of Persia and the Sultan of
Turkey each possesses a prayer mat, or
rug, made of diamonds and pearls, and val
ued at something over S2,500,000 apiece.
The largest and most expensive rug in the
world, made of the ordinary materials of
which such things are manufactured, is
owned by the Carlton club of London.
A broken wooden horse, with which
Napoleon Bonaparte played when child,
was recently sold for 1000 francs.

Sir Archibald Geike. president Of the
British association, said in course of his
address before the association at its recent
annual meeting at Elinburg: As the most
recent and best known Of these great trans
formations the ice age stands ont conSpic-
uously before us. If any one sixty years
ago had ventured to affirm that at no very
distant date the SHOWS and glaciers of the
arctic regions stretched southwark into
France. he would have been treated as a
mere visionary theorist. Many of the facts
to which he would have appealed in sup
port of his statement were already well
! known, but they had received various 9th
err interpretations. There cannot be any
doubt that after man had become denizen
of the earth great physical change came
over the northern hemisphere. The eli

! that evergreen trees tlOurshed within ten

shores of England, and across the Baltic

transformation was not an episode that

How Woman Kept n Boat from Going
over Niagara Fails.


The following story of an accident which
befell a Sunday school excursion above
Niagara Falls is told by Chicago physi-
clan who frequently visits New York;
al the close of the season the SUNDAY
school | attended always held a grand ex-
cursion on the river. The boat used was
tiny side-wheeler. The steam was gen
Grated by keeping the ovens filled with
wood.
"On this occasion the little vessel was
crowded from stem to stern with children
and their mothers and teachers. We sailed
up the river, had splendid lunch and in
the evening headed down stream toward
home.
"The water grew swifter and swifter as
we went, and before the pilot knew it we
We're carried past the danger line into the
upper rapids.
The little craft tossed and heaved in
the tumbling waters. We were soon far
below our landing place.
"The pilot kept his head and by steering
into an eddy succeeded in turning the boat
around. Once she pointed up stream we
We're all filled with new hope We felt that
the engine would drive us ashore. For a
few minutes we held our own and even
made slight progress. Then the cry came
up from below that the fuel had given out.
at was the most critical time in my life,
and no doubt in the life of all who live to
remember the affair The boat began to
recede. We saw our friends gathered on
the shore, shouting and gesticuating to us,
hut we could not understand a word they
said.
"Then woman cried, Let's burn the
cabin In half minute every woman on
board was tearing away at the woodwork
of the boat. 1t was fed into the furnace.
The craft recovered herself, and after a
hard battle which lasted half an hour, We
made our landing But the cabin and all
the woodwork of the boat had gone up in
smoke. "-NeU York WOrld.

county, wherein the judgment of the
district court had been reversed by the
supreme court, an order was yester day
entered denying a rehearing asked
for by the plaintiffs. This case has ex-
cited considerable attention in this state

creamery equipment contractors, and
have made quite a few bargains in North
Dakota that have not proven satisfactory
to all parties concerned. Yesterday the
clerk of the supreme court received a

Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-01-08

The Tribune has no apologies to
offer for it's treatment Of the Healy mat
ter-except that it believes it's readers
would rather read something else and
possibly the TRIBUNE has had too much
to say about it. The TRIBUNE published
the full testimony of Mason and a full
synopsis of Swenson's testimony which
corroborated Mason's. It would have
taken half a dozen papers to publish all
the testimony in the case and it was not
necessary. The TRIBUNE clearly and
repeatedly published the substance of
MIR. Healy's testimony. 1t was simply
a broad denial of every material allega-
ton of the prosecution-that he never
had any agreement or conference-never
had any meeting of any kind with Sven
son and Mason-his son said the same
thing-and that's tho whole story. It is
better for the defense that the verbatim
testimony Of Mr.. Healy and his son be
not published for it is very conflicting
except upon the one point-the question
of the alleged interview had by Healy
Sr. with Swenson and Mason. On
that point the father and son agreed en-
actly, but when it came to side issues
for instance, when asked if Swenson be-
came a good customer of the defendants
short time before election, Healy ST..
said he did-was one of his best-bought
goods almost every day-but when Hea-
ly Jr., who hadn't heard his fathers an
swers to these questions and didn't
know, OF course, such questions would be
asked, after admitting that he kept the
books, that he delivered the goods and
was clerk and knew, of course, all the
customers-when he was asked if Sven
son was a good customer he said he was
not-had bought some potatoes and 9TH
or things one day, but had not .been in
the store to exceed four times during the
whole time from October 21st-as he
testitied-to November Odd. The TR1B-
UNE published fair and impartial reports
OF the case t~horoughout. OF cousse MI.
Motfet's narrow vision could not see it
that way, and his natural dishonesty
would prevent his acknowledging it if he
did, but from unbiased citizens on all
sides and even warm friends of Healv
the tribune hiss received praise for it's
reports. The TR1BUNE's editorial opin-
ions may not always please but it's news
column are bound to, because they aim
to record matters just as they happen.

Mr.. MoFFET makes the bold assertion

Mr.. MoFFET makes the bold assertion
in his paper that 'The jury was put up
to sinch Healy, evidence or no evidence"
How Vas it put up? If there were men
taken on the jury whose minds were BIZ
ased, why didn't the defense take them
off? It had the opportunity. The de-
Tense didn't wen exhaust its peremptory
challenges, and the judge offered the de-
fense still more if it wanted them. The
truth is, the defense believed the jury
would not convict and after the jury had
been out two days was more encouraged
than ever. The truth is, Mr.. Healy had
as fair a trial as any person a have in
Burleigh county, and it is difficult to
see upon what grounds a new
trial can be obtained. Moffet
and Gray and hat whole
outfit claim the prosecution was a put
up job. Why don't they expose it?
They say "they are going to show it
up" Why the delay? The TRIBUNE
fancies that even some of Mr.. Healy's
old time friends-and certainly the citi-
zens generally-want more facts and less
threats. If Mr.. Healy has been wronged
by a Conspiracy" then the people will
lsympathizs and snstain Mr.. Healy. If

trouble in keeping all supplied, the
Sims mine not being able to furnish the
fuel fast enough. 1t has been practically
demonstrated that one mine will not
turn out enough coal; hence we want
another one. The TRIBUNE is informed
by a person who has made railroad trans
portation something of a study that if
the company can haul a ton Of coal from
Sims to Bismarck for a dollar it can
carry the same amount from Dickinson
for $1.25, the rate asked for. The ex-
pense to the company is not increased
over the IS cents extra by the longer
haul. The main items of expense in
connection with coal hauling is the
switching of cars into the mines, the de-
lay to the cars while being loaded, the
making Of the cars up again into trains,
etc. That c get the train nnder mo-:
ton headed east, if a rate of one dollar
is equitable to the company from Sims,
there is just as much money at $1.25
from Dickinson. Let us have the Is
cent differential rate and be insured of a
steady supply of our native fuel.

FROM the very full reports of the pro

FROM the very full reports of the pro-
ceedings of the North Dakota Edu-
cational association, published by
the Grand Forks Herald, it is
gathered that the Fifth annual
meeting was the most important ever
held. The attendance was good and
deep interest taken in all matters under
discussion. A large number of county
superintendent we're present as
we'll as teachers and others
interested in educational work.
1t is perhaps proper to add
in this connection that State Super1n-
tendent Ogden has surprised ever his
most intimate friends since taking
charge Of the educational affairs of the
state. He is a hard worker, a thorough
organizer and through his instrumental
ity the schools of this state have been
raised several notches in proficiency, and
North Dakota, in an educational way
has taken a position in the front ranks
OF the states of the union. The atten-
ton paid to educational matters in this,
state has been observed all over the
