A Description of the Latest and swiftest
of Cruisers.
The latest and the fastest of the ves-
sells of u new navy is the triple screw
cruiser Columbia, which has developed
. speed which should enable her, il the
occasion arises, to overtake the fastest
of the famous ocean greyhounds. Elk
Secretary of the Navy Tracy says that q
feet Of six such cruisers would be sufi-
cient to exterminate the commerce of
any country in the world il it were no
better protected than commercial vessels
are under existing conditions. There
are only two other naval vessels like the
Columbia in the matter of triple screws
the Kaiserin Augusta Of the German
navy and the Dupuy dc Lorme Of the
French--and both Of those are smaller
than our cruiser.
The Columbia, to give her measure
ments In land lubber fashion, is 412 feet
long and 30 feet wide. Her normal draft
Ii q little over 90 feet, which means that
she sinks in the water to that extent
when carrying an ordinary load. But

she will sink three feet deeper. Her dis
placement is 1850 tons, and the small
boy with a pencil can reduce that to
pounds for himself and get a better mo-
ton of her actual weight.
The triple screws of the Columbia are
arranged one ON each quarter and one
ON the center of the stern, the center
screw being Of smaller dimensions than
the other two, though some designers Of
high standing think it should be larger.
The engines are of the triple expansion
vertical inverted cylinder type. Each
of them is placed in a separate water
tight compartment and is complete in
every respect. There are three sets, and
the vessel can be propelled at a slow
speed by the center screw alone, by the
two other screws at a medium speed, or
by the three together when the high
est rate of speed is required. On her
preliminary trial by her builders for
speed she made the previously unheard
of time of nearly 25 knots-24.95 knots,
to be exact-and on the official trial a
few days later. under the supervision of
the government board. made the record
OF 2aa.61 knots.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 6.-The North
western Miller reports the stock of
wheat in priv ID elevators of Mime
apolis at 9S9. 600 bushels, IN increase of
SO, 900 compared with last Monday. This
makes the Minneapolis and Duluth stock

CLOSED AT LAST.
The Black Hills Mining Deal, in Which
Madison Citizens We're Interested,
Finally Settled.

Deadwood Times, 3: Nearly four
years ago the Bald Mountain Consoli-
dated Milling company was organized,
which soon acquired q group OF valuable
claims on Annie creek, a group at Garden
City and mill sites, etc. Two years ago
Messrs. w. B. Cameron, w. f. Smith
and w. Fl. Jones, went to London for
the purpose of placing the property and
including a company OF capitalists to de-
vslop II. They have worked nearly two
years in this direction, and the formal
transfer was made last evening. About
six weeks ago a party OF English gentle
men, namely; A. Worthington Topp, and
G. g. Warnford Locke, John r. Thomas,
and Samuel Hall, and f. III. Bonsfield,
arrived direct from London, as stock
holders and officers or representatives Of
stockholders. The process OF abstract
ing the numerous claims and putting the
affairs OF the company in shape was
commenced at once, upon which the
gentlemen have been constantly engaged
since. Owing to a number OF debts
of the Bald Mountain company, some OF
which were in the shape OF judgments
or liens, the matter OF arranging all the
details was frought with considerable de-
lay and annoyances. These things have
all beer settled satisfactorily to the new
company, however, and csblegrams OF
authority we're received last evening
notifying the officers that the money
had reached a New York bank. The
South Dakota Mining company and the
Thunderer Mining company, Limited,
are n and the same, the former, how
ever, being incorporated under the laws
OF this state. The deeds and papers
incident to the deal were all drawn and
signed last eveningsand go on record to-
morrow.

state Bank Tax.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The interest In
the proceedings of the banking and cur
rency committee again revives upon the
assembling of congress. The repeal of
the 10 per cent tax on state bank circu-
lation is the theme which members are
discussing in connection with this COM
mittee. 1t is expected there will be no
o hearings and that the committee
will at once take up and decide the
question Of reporting either favo-ably or
adversely IN n of the pending bills.
The contest over the bill, both in the
committee and in the house, If it gets
that far, will be very interesting.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Officials of the
state department have received no adj

Klicklat, which has arrived at Port
Townsend. They are inclined to dis
credit and question the accuracy Of the

Robbins. In a remarkable short
space Of time he hada tempting
dinner on the table to which am
pie justice was done. We almost
omitted to mention the fact that
the second building that greeted
our vision after crossing into
Mile Laos county was the school
house in district No. Is, which is
located about half mile back
from the lake shore and mile
north of the Vineland post office.
School was in session, we entered
and found Miss Kate Kenely, one
of the best teachers in the county,
explaining an intricate problem
to her largest pupil. The half
dozen scholars were neatly dressed
and smart-appearing children and
seemed to be paying strict
attention to their teacher. The
school house in district No. 16
is certainly a credit to the pro
gressive citizens Of Robbins. It
is by all odds the neatest school
house in Mile Laos county outside
of Princeton. In this connection
we might state that this issue OF
the Union contains an advertise
ment asking for proposals for the
erection of two new school houses
in the town of Robbins. It does
not look as if the settlers in that
town were there for temporary
purposes. They are there to stay
and they propose to give then
children the benefit of a good com
mon school education.
The post office at Vineland was
erected by MIR. D. H. Robbins last
spring. It is a handsome frame
structure and stands on a piece oil
: ground gently sloping toward the
lake. 1t is neatly arranged anc
we'll finished internally and ex
ternally. The post office is fttec
up with patent glass front boxes
all of which are numbered. Many
important villages in the State
have no better arranged pos
office than Vineland. Mr.. Rob
bins - carries a stock O:
groceries, fixed ammunition, etc.
and seems to be doing a gooe
business. He is also town clerl
of the town of Robbins and clerl
of school district No. 49,. Mr.
Robbins has done great deal fo7
the town of Robbins and in fac
for all the lake towns.
The town of Robbins was organ
lied March 9th, 1891. The frs
town officers were Thomas J
Warren (chairman), Eugene Hen
derson and Frank Libby, super
visors; Jesse G. Giddings, tow
clerk; Robert Burch, treasurer
John mccarthy, assessor; Alvin
Barrett and VIM. Cakes, justices
Chas. Rogers and Joseph r
Jewell, constables. There ar
many farms opened up in thi
town, and the settlers are eager t,
improve their condition. A con
tract for clearing 10 miles of roa1
was let on the Dist, and in a few
years there will be good passabl

THE DIMPLE nv HER CHEEK.

She sat by the hearthstone, knitting; her gown
was a nun-like gray;
And the glossy bands OF her chestnut hair were
sobcrly smoothed away.
With nimbly flying fingers, and eyes demure
and meek,
There was no sign of mis- chief-saye the dimple
in her cheek.
He loved her from distance. but thought her
cold and prim,
The crown of chestnut tresses, the fingers white
and slim.
He loved, but his devotion he did not dare to
speak,
Because he Glanced to overlook the dimple in
her check.
And so the years were passing; month after
month they sped;
And still they found him single, and she re-
manned unWed
His love he hid securely, for fear of slight and
scorn
Until he came and found his fate that frosty
winter morn.
She knitted on demurely, he stood beside the
door:
The ball OF yarn fell from her lap and rolled
upon the floor.
He fastened TO restore It, up sprang the kitten
fleet
To chase the ball, and soon the yarn was wound
He colorcd in confusion, her eyes Of mirth were
full,
She syly laughed You're caught" she said,
within web of WOOL
Then down the curling lashes dropped; her eyes
again were meek,
But in fash he saw it then-thc dimple in her
check.
His heart grew bold within him. the ice was
fairly broken;
And in the twinkling OF an eye the earnest
words were spoken
ooh, Gladys, dearest Gladys! now listen, pray,
to me
A lifelong captive in your web-how blest the
fate would be-"
The Pretty fingers tremblcd; the chestnut head
bent low;
Unchecked, the kitten rolled the ball and chased
1t to and fro.
Although the family smiling lips no syllable
would speak,
His suit was won-he saw it by the dirnple in
her cheek.
