aDouG the only record the citizens of
Steele have of the incorporation. etc. of
the city is to be found in the Herald
OF early date. The entire proceedings OF
the city board, when bonds were issued,
voted upon, etc, appear in the Herald and
many of those meetings were conducted
in anything but a regular and legal
manner. The probable defense of the
city of Steele in the bond case will be
based upon the irregular and unconsti-
tutional issue of the bonds, owing to
carelessness on the part of her officials.
Superintendent Ogden of the depart
ment OF public instruction, has invented
q system of heating and ventilation, TO
be applied to school houses. A small
model school house has been on exhibit
ton at the shop of johnson & Cline.
burg, illustrating the principle involved.
This little model has a double floor;
that ie, two floors with an air space be-.
tween, this air space being connected
with the room itself by several openings
in the floor proper, lear the walls, and
also connected with the outer air. The
stove is surrounded by q jacket which
forms an air space about the stove,
while beneath the latter is an opening
in the floor communicating with the
outer air. Prof. Ogden's system is not
at all complicated, and is evidently
based upon a correct conception of
what is needed in proper ventilation.
The model will be sent to the Colum-
bian Exposition, to form part of the
North Dakota school exhibit.
"Bob'' Wallace came in from James
town Wednesday morning and handed in
his report of operations in the office of
public examiner for the past two years.
A summary of the condition OF the
condition of the banks of the state oper.
ating under the state banking law shows
there are seventy.four banks reporting
their condition at the close of business
Oct. %, 1892, at which date the last call
for statements was made for the fiscal
year. The total capital Of the seventy
four banks was $97O,5OO. The total sur
plus and undivided profits, after deduct
ing all expenses, was $203, 6OO.7O. Total
deposits reach the handsome sum of
$3,041,548.s3. Total cash and due from
other banks, $1,264,5s5.7 70. The above
figures show the average capitalof the
North Dakota state banks is $13,114.86.
The average surplus and undivided
profits are $2,75l.36. Average deposits,
$41,1O2.01. Average reserve, $17,101.15.
There have been about fifteen new banks
organized under the law during the past
year. The credit of the banks is as good
as that of the national banks, the tend
ency of the law being to strengthen the
credit Of all etate banks. There was but
n failure of q state bank during the
year, which was that of an Glendale
bank, the reasons for which were pub
lished and commented on at the time by
the press of the state.

o. O Reward 800.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there ie at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, an
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a consti-
tutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation Of
the disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The prOprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer 800 for any case that i'll fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials. Ad.

DERIVATION OF THE WORD
DOLLAR.

Very few persons have ever
roubled themselves to think of the
derivation of the word dollar. 1t is
from the German thai valley and
came into use in this way some 800
years ago There is little silver-min-
Ing city or district in northern Bohe
mia called Joschimsthal, or Joachim's
Valley. The reigning duke of the re-
gion authorized this city in the 10th
century to coin a silver piece which
was called '-Joschimthaler." The
word 'JoachIm" was soon dropped,
and the name "thsler" only retained.
The piece went into general use in
Germany and Denmark, where the
orthography was changer to ''daler,
whence it came into English, and was
adopted by the Americans with still
further changes in the spelling. The
Mexican dollar is generally called
''pIastre" in France, and the name Is
sometimes applied to the United States
dollar. The appellstion is incorrect in
either case, for the word plaster or
piastre has for the last 90 years been
only applied with correctness to a
small silver coin used in Turkey or
Egypt, which is worth from five to
eight cents.

A certain German tanner OF wild
beasts always entered the cage dressed
in cloud" Hungarian costume, with
large top boots. The moment he
appeared the lions fell back in terror
and covered down in corner, whence
they were with difficulty dislodged.
1t was evident that the very sight of
him inspired them wi n terror. How
was it done?
His plan has at least the merit OF
being original. He obtained a lay
figure which he dressed up in the at
tractiye costume he was in the habit
Of wearing. The very features were
the proportions and build of the man.
The disguise was so perfect that even
human beings might have mistaken
the makeup for the original.
The figure was introduced into the
cage and made to stand upright, but
after awhile it was knocked over,
when with bound the lions rushed
with open jaws on their prey.
Suddenly they began to howl with
pain, and withdrew to a corner with
bleeding mouths and tongues. The
mannikin was covered all over with
sharp iron spikes, concealed under
the brilliant uniform Twice the
tanner tried this experiment; the
lions did not move the second time.
He then commenced his course of
training, attired in a costume similar
to that of the wooden figure, though
oe had never entered cage before

A PRETTY COLD SPELL.

Zee 100000 Years Old Can stin BE Seen
A couple of hundred thousand years
go or thereabout-do let US hag-
gle, beg Of you, over a few casual
centuries-the whole OF Northern
Europe and America was covered
from end to end, as everybody knows
by a sheet of solid ice, like the one
which Frithiof NanSen crossed from
sea to sea on his own account in
Greenland. For many thousand years,
with occasional warmer spells, that
vast ice sheet brooded, silent and
grim. over the face OF the two con
tinents. Life was extinct as far
south as the latitude Of New York
and London. No plant or animal
survived the general freezing. Not a
creature broke the monotOny OF that
endless glacial desert. At last, as
the celestial cycle came round in; due
season, fresh conditions supervened.
Warmer weather sat in and the ice
began to melt. Then the plants and
animals of the sub-glacial district
were pushed slowly northward by the
warmth after the retreating icecap.
AS time went on, the climate of the
plains got too hot to hold them. The
summer was too much for the gla-
cial types to endure. They remained
only on the highest mountain peaks
or close to the southern limit Of eter-
nal snow. In this way every isolated
range in either continent has its own
little colony of arctic Of glacial plants

themselves, unaffected by intercourse
with their unknown and unsuspected
tellow-creatures elsewhere.
Not only has the glacial epoch left
these organic traces Of its existence,
however; in some parts of New Hamp-
shire, where the glaciers were unu-
sually thick and deep fragments Of
| the pIimcval ice itself still remain
on the spots where they were origi-
nally stranded. Among the shady
glens of the White Mountains there
occur here and there great masses oil
ancient ice, the unmelted remnant OF
primeVal glaciers; and one of these is
so large that an artificial cave has
been cleverly excavated in it as an at
traction for tourists by the canny
Yankee proprie r. Elsewhere the
old ice blocks buried under the
| debris of moraine stuff and alluvium,
J and are only accidentally discovered
by the sinking OF what is locally
known as ice wells No existing con.
ditions can account for the formation
of such solid rocks of ice at such a
depth in the soil. They are essen.

acter; they result from the pressure
of snow into crystalline mass in q
mountain valley, and they must have
remained there unmelted ever since
the close of the glacial epoch, which,
by Dr. Croll's calculations, must
most probably have ceased to plague
our earth some $4,000 years ago. -

LIFE.

Translated from the French by Augustine
Duclos.1
Life is similar to a roadway-we are
warned at the very first step we take
that it leads to a deadly precipice
which will appear at an unlocked for
moment, and over which we must fall,
for the law of this life is ''ever on
ward"
"That 1 could retrace my steps" we
cry as we advance IN years.
t'Onwardl onward" an invisible
power and invisible force drags us, as
1t were, ever onward; without hesita-
ton or pause we must onward to the
fatal precipice.
Thousands of Affections and anxieties,
pains. cares and privations fatigue and
torture as on the way.
"Could L avoid that fall" we cry In
horror-and again that mysterious
voice and power.
"Onwardi onward" one must push
forward in Wandering Jew fashion,
hasten madly, rashly, such is the ve-
locity of years,
At times We come across objects
which delight us, which help us to for
get, flowing waters, flowers that lose
their perfume and fade. One would
stop, a little rest a minute, an in
slant, ''onwsrdp and in the meantime
we gee disappear behind us all that we
have passed. Frightful crash newt
able ruinl
We console ourselves as We return
,ome with flowers gathered on the way
which We see fade at nightfsll-some
fruit, which we lose on partaking.
Will-o'-the-wis with your lantern
bright, you attract Us, you lead US on
ward with your dazzling light, until
the abyss is reached.
Already all good things begin to
disappear and blot themselves from
our sight. The vegetation grows in
less abundance and richness, flowers,
seem less brilliant aud fragrant; prai,
ries lose their enchantment for us; the
waters run less clear; all grows dull,
Ill fades.
The shadow of death hovers about
is; one has the presentiment of having
reached the fatal abyss-we are on it,
edge-one more stepl Already the
horror bewilders the senses, the brair
whirls, the eyes grow wild. son
