Big Pumping Feat.

For sixteen months pumps have been
at work drawing the water from Lake
Angeline, near Ishpeming, Mich, and the
water is gone. The lake lies near the
southern part of Ishpeming, covering one
hundred and sixty acres, and was seven
ty feet deep in the middle.
Under the bed OF the lake lie the largest
iron ore deposits ever discovered. The
ore was discovered some ten years ago,
when diamond drill was set on the
frozen surface of the lake one winter and
hole drilled 600 feet down below the bed
of the pig iron. Large ore bodies were
cut by the drill, and the three mining
companies owning the ground under the
lake began devising means to secure this
valuable ore.
Work was begun last spring before the
snow left the ground. when rotary
pump with capacity of 20, 900 gallons per
minute was anchored in a barge in the
center of the lake and began pumping
water into a big f1ume elevated twenty
feet above the surface of the water. The
pump has been going day and night, al
lowing for occasional breakdoWns, and
the water has only recently been drained
all out. Now, however, serious ques-
ton remains to be settled. There is a
bed of mud from two to forty feet deep
over the bed of the former lake. This
mud is kept moist by underground
springs, from which the water bubbles
up. Big tubular standpipes, pierced with
myriads of small holes hardly larger than
a needles point, are being forged into the
mud, and into these the water filters and
is pumped out. The surface of the bed OF
the lake is more treacherous than quick
sand, for any heavy object thrown on it
is quickly engulfed. Several narrow es-
capes from drowning have taken place
1t will take sixteen months longer to get
rid of the mud.

A Question of Hygiene.

The Jewish authorities in Switzerland
have obtained the opinions Of a large
number of Psychologists and veterinary
surgeons on the question-froma human
itarian and hygienic point Of view, re-
spectively-of Strengthening animals by
the method peculiar to that race. The
answers in response to this question
have, it appears, been unanimous in the
belief that the method in question is not
more cruel than is any other-some, in
deed, considering it less SO. Hygienically,
some of the Psychologists have further
urged in its favor the hygienic properties
of the meat, which, deprived of that factor
so prone TO decomposition-the blood
keeps longer and can, they consider, be
better dealt with by the stomach and
other organs of digestion, and 1t is fur
ther urged in this connection that the ex-
cretive materials contained in the blood
rapidly give rise to chemical changes re-
sulting in the production of toxic
ptomaines, which, by their repeated ac-
ton, injure the constitution. The Jewish
law forbids the people to eat any other
but the bloodless flesh of animals which
have been killed by their method of cut
ting the throat, in which a single cash
divides the carotid arteries and jugular
veins; it is also necessary that no other
lesion be produced in killing the animal,
otherwise its flesh becomes ''tripha," for
hidden to be eaten. In regard to the use
of an@sthetics, the objection is urged of
the impossibility of being certain that the
animal is in the enjoyment of full vital
ity and perfect health at the time of kill

unpleasant mass, and mingled with the
kindling wood to which the wagon was
reduced. The horse breathed his last in
few minutes. The railway company
had to pay the farmer the value of his
fifty pounds Of butter, his $50 eggs. his
horse and his wagon. 1t was regarded as
very serious matter, and Straightway
a director of the company, Ashlen
Bagster by name, went to Alton Grange,
where George Stephenson lived.
What shall we do about this?" he eX-
claimed. I'VE can't have such dreadful
things as this happening on our railway,
you know"
Stephenson was inclined to take the
matter with true north-country philos-
ophy, but the director was aroused.
Now, upon my word," said Ashlen
Bagster, why can't you make your
steam make noise somehow that will
warn these people?" He thought of no
method to accomplish this, but at that time
people had in a general way high opin-
ion of the capabilities of steam.
That's an idee, mon," said Stephen
son. BLESS your soul, I'll try it''
He went to a maker of musical instru-
ments and got him to contrive an ap-
paratus which. when blown by steam,
would make horrible screech. This was
attached to the boiler of an engine, and the
first locomotive whistle was in full oper
alton. The railway directors, greatly de-
lighted, ordered similar cOntrivances at
tached to all their locomotives and from
that day to this the voice of the locomo-
tive whistle has never been silent. Like
the morning drum-beat of Britain, the
whistle following the sun and keeping
company with the hours, it circles the
earth with one continuous and unbroken
strain" So that it may be said truly that
the locomotive whistle had its origin in
the smashing of eighty dozen eggs.

FOND OF COWBOY SADDLES.
English and Germans Buy the Finest
Goods Made In Cheyenne.

English ana G0rmanS BUY the t1neSC
Goods Made In Cheyenne.
All over North America for many years
Cheyenne saddles have been famous, and
every equestrian, outside of the United
States cavalry and of the Northwest
mounted police of Canada, has either had
his horse tricked out with Cheyenne
leather or has wished he had. The fancy
work on saddles, holsters and stirrup
hoods that once made Mexican saddlery
famous and expensive long ago was
copied by the Cheyenne makers, who kept
up the fame and beauty of American
horse trappings, but made them so cheap
as to be within the means of most horse
men. In the old days, when Western
cattle ranged all over the plains and the
cowboy was in his glory, that queer citi-
zen would rather have Cheyenne saddle
than a best girl. In fact, to be without a
Cheyenne saddle and tirst-class reYol
yer was to be no better than the sheep
herders of that era.
When a reporter of the New York Sun
found himself in Cheyenne the other day
the first places he looked for were the sad
dle-makers' shops. He was surprised to
find only one snowy, frst-class store of
the kind, and instead Of there being a
crowd in front of it there was no sign of
more business than was going on at the
druggists near by, or the stationer's over
the way. In one way only did the re-
porter find his hopes rewarded the
goods displayed in the windows were
beautiful and extraordinary. There were
the glorious heavy hand-stamped sad
dies; there were the huge, cumb brOuS
tapaderos; there were the .lariats or
"ropes," the magnificent bits that looked
like Moorish art outdone, and there were
the "mule skinners'' and the fanciful
spurs, and, in short, the windows formed
a museum of things that a cowboy would
have pawned his soul to own. The metal
work was all such as a cavalryman once
declared it, 1.-The most elegant horse
iewelry in creation" Englishman and
Germans now buy the fanciest and the
best trappings to send abroad to their
homes. Hand-stamped saddles cost from
$50 to SIS, but S35 buys as good a one as a
modest man who knows a good thing
viii care to use.
Cowgirl saddles were on view-seven
of them-with rigging for side seats and
with stirrups made in slipper shapes. 1t
is not that there are really half dozen
cowgirls in the world or half a dozen
women like the Colorado cattle queen or
the lady horse breeder of Wyoming. but
there are Western girls who have to ride
great deal, and they have fond fathers
and brothers and still fonder lovers.
Hence the manufacture of magnificent
side saddles, all decked with hand
stamped patterns and looking as pretty
as the richest Bedouin. ever dreamed of
horse gear being made. There is still a
good trade in cowboy outfits that are or
dered from Montana, the Dakotas, Wyo-
ming, Colorado and Texas, and similar
goods go to the horse ranches of Nevada,
Idaho and Oregon. Moreover, as long as
men ride horses there will be a trade in
fancy outfits for them.

EIGHTY DOZEN EGGS SMASHED.

A Disaster Which Caused the Intro
duction of Locomotive Whistles.
When locomotives were first built and
began TO trundle their small loads up and
down the newly and rudely constructed
railways of England, the country roads
were for the most part crossed at grade
and the engineer had no way OF giving
warning of his approach except by blow
ing a tin horn. This horn, as may be
imagined, was far from being a sufficient
warning. If COW strayed upon the
track, $50 much the worse for the co.,"
as old George Stephenson said. But by
and by. says the Youths Companion, it
became inconvenient for others than the
cows. One day in the year of 1888
farmer of Thornton was crossing the rail-
road track OH one of the country roads
with great load of eggs and butter. He
was going to Leicester to sell the produce.
Just as be came out upons the track a
train approached. The engine man blew
his tin horn Justify, but the farmer did
not hear it. He drove squarely upon the
track, and the engine plunged into his
wagon.
Fortunately the farmer was not seri-
ously injured, bat his horse and especi-
ally his eggs and butter were. Eighty
dozen of eggs and fifty pounds of butter

LET THE STATE HAVE HEARING.
THE PROGRESS still insists that the
good name and future welfare of our
community demands an earnest pros
ecution of Nash and Barnett. We
Z use the word prosecution advisedly
because We are never in favor of, but
are always opposed To persecution.
The nature of this case demands an
earnest investigation. A man has
been shot down and killed ia the
broad day light right in the very
heart OF our city. la this alfray au
innocent bystander barely escaped
the same fate and in fact himself re-
ceived a severe wound. The evi-
'dence thus far reported offers no ex.
'cuse, paliation or Justification for the
crime. Apparently the only reason
Tor the deed was the desire to get a
feared enemy out of the way. TO all
appearances the man killed by the
accused, was far ore dreale than
the law, whict should be respected by
all whether peasant or potentate
of any power. For these reasons VT
say that the district attorney should
be assisted by older and more ex-
perienced cIuncil. No one doubts
that every effort, no matter of what
nature, will be made to clear these
men. Lawyers who have criminals
to defend feel responsible for their
lives, and generally proceed with
their case with this weight on their
consciences. Lawyers If long stand
ing and mucbly accredited sagacity
have charge of the defense and this
influence should be met with another
equally as strong In the interest OF
law and order The PRoGREss is will
ling TO contribute five or ten dollars
towards raising subscription for the
purpose, and calls on some one who
has the interest of the community at
heart, to take list and pass it around.
Surely sufficient sum can be raised.
