From its mountain bound home
the Ketchum Keystone comes an
ever welcome visitor to our table.
The Keystone is always palatable,
even to the stranger to Ketchum Gts
questionable eulogy on brilliant r. H.
Davis, of the Caldwell Tribune is the
only unpalatable thing we ever found
in iD. The matter in the keystone
is always served in the most appetizing
shape. 1t is always fresh, spicy and
laden with the free, undaunted spirit
of the mountains. Bowman is mighty
strong on some of his convictions,
but is interesting even when rankly
radical. Then, too, the breaking of
the Keystone wrapper always sends
memory back in mellow, happy rec
collection to those delightful three
days of last August.

Papers often change editors but
seldom change their journalistic indi-
vidualty. One would suppose that
after change in editors different,
and at first noticeable unfamiliar air,
would impress itself on exchange
readers, until time wore off the new
ness. But it is not thus. We are
always expecting this when one,
whom time has made to seem as a
close acquaintance, steps from the
tripod to make room for fresh pen
1t was so when Syms walked out of
the Shoshone Journal sanctum, but
us we pick up the Journal week after
week it seems just the same as ever
and we have to think twice before re-
Wondering that 1t has changed hands
lately.

Huron, s. D., June 15.-Splendid rains
fell over the west and northern portions
of the state this morning and here and
over the southern parts this afternoon.
The long continued drouth is broken,
cllps refreshed and the people of the

lest and most general that has fallen
within the state in two months.
Glendale, N. D., June 15.-The first
1sir of any consequence for over a month
fell here to-day, when the ground got a
good soaking. Late wheat will be greatly
benefited, but rye, early sown wheat
and hay are beyond exemption
Aberdeen, 3. D., June 15.-Copious
she wers have made glad the hearts OF
farmers and business men throughout
this portion of South Dakota to-day.
About 3 o'clock this morning rain set in
and by Z o'clock at leact thr~ee-quartecs
of an inch had fallen. Again at 3 o'clock
p H., another large shower came up
wi ich swelled the precipitation to over
n inch. Rain was needed, but none
lad lost hope of a fair harvest, and now
that the spell is broken all agree that the
harvest will be surprisingly large.

WILL THE OCEANS DRY opp
A Theory That They Will, Though
Not for Many Ages.

A Theory That They VIII, Though
Not for Many Ages.
This is purely a scientific question,
at least one requiring an answer from
scientific sources. There seems to be
q mOdicum of truth in the statement,
perhaps, just enough to relieve If from
the charge of boldness or rashness. A
writer in the Manufacturer and Builder
several years ago addressed himself to
the answering Of a similar query to
that p%ropounded by '"Theo," and he
assumed that students of geology were
forced to the conclusion that by nat
ural causes in constant operation the
water Of the earth is gradually disap-
pearing, and that, in the course OF
ages to come, it will have entirely dis
appeared. There are two principal
causes for this phenomenon, n the
gradual union of the elements Of water
with the various bases and silicateS
to form what are called hydrates, COM
pounds in which the water is chem
ically bound in the solid state; and
second, the gradual absorption Of the
water by filtration through the more
or less porous crust into the deep In
terror, a process that must be taking
place constantly, and which in time
will be sufficient of itself to cause the
total disappearance of the surface
water of the entire globe. These con-
siderations seem very plausible, and it
is difficult to contradict them by argu-
ment.
1.-THE process Of sinking cannot pro-
coed to any great depth until a tenn
perature will be reached sufficiently
high to vaporize the water, and thus
prevent its further descent, but the
heat thus impaired to the water will
be by it impaired to adjacent bodies,
and it's conduction to the surface and
radiation into space will be thereby
slowl1, but surely, affected, and thus
the heat of the earth's interior will be
gradually lessened, and the water from
the surface will thus be enabled to
penetrate ever deeper and deeper. The
density of the interior mass consti.
tuting the earth is not much greater
than that of granite, and the %penetra-
ton of the water therefore would not
be greatly hindered by the density of
the interior mass; but ever If h mass
were of much greater density than 1t
Is known to he, the influence OF the
capillary attraction would suffice to
permit of the soaking Of water through
masses Of extremely high density.
Such considerations as those involved
In the answer to this question have
only q certain scientific interest. The
periods of time that must elapse be-
fore the happening of the event are so
enormously long as to be quite incon-
ceivable, and ages before its consum-
nation the conditions prevailing on the
earth may have become such us to have
rendered the existence of life on our
planet impossible ."-Brooklyn Eagle.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

"A Former EmplOye Mt Carnexie's

Washington, June 15.-Charles Edgar
Sill, the former Carnegie workman, who
has made the chief disclosures concern
ing defective arinor pate furnished the
government, was before the congressional
Investigating committee to-day. The hear
ing drew together many interested spec
tators, including naval experts and men,
bers of congress not directly prosecuting
the investigation. There was little of u
criminal in the testimony which Sill told
of the manner in which he made written
reports on the result of certain processes
of manufacture. These reports were then
nut in the desk of Supt. Kline who
changed them SO as to make them show
that the processes conformed to the re-
auiremeuts and specifications of the gov
eminent contract. Sill took up his report
from original. entries on states used by
the workmen, showing what they had
actually dohe. After Kline had changed
the reports they were returned to Sill,
who made up a complete report, includ-
ing Kline's alterations, to be submitted
to the government officials as the record
of what had been done. Kline had made
alterations in the original report. Mr..
Sill said he had kept tab" on these

him. Kline changed dates on order that
the government inspectors should not de-
tect that the work as reported was not
within the capacity Of the mill. The
books as kept by Supt. Kline showed
the actual work in black ink and the
alterations as submitted to the govern
ment officers were in rcd ink.
At the suggestion Of Chairman Cum
mings fake work. was used by the com
mittee and witnesses to designate these
alterations.
'Wfat was the percentage of this fake
work p esked Mr.. Cummings.
Prom Is to so per cent was fake work.
/ think that would be a fair average"
Mr.. Sill related how Supt. Kline had
given orders for retreating thousands of
plates to cover up defects. The order
was written and verbal and by diagram.
Sill showed a rough diagram which con-
stituted one of the orders. The diagram
which var closely scrutiAized by the
cen mittee Sill that said was made by
Kline and the wording ON it was in
Kline's handwriting. Witness had q
bundle of those diagrams.

One Copy Wanted in Thirty Years.
Congressman Amos Cummings recnt-
~ told a story about a public document
which has been printed for over 100
years without the slightest reasonable
ground why it should be thus preservs
ed. I'm $780," Mr.. Cummings said, "a
law was passed requiring the treasurer
Of the United States to send to congress
annually copies Of all his accounts set
tied by the first comptroller Of the treas
ury. He transmitted them without
classification, indexing o. reputation,
and this report was printed until 1889
loo years. The last one cost $1,000.
The report for 1889 was printed in
1891 by order Of the fifty-first congress.
Its preparation took the whole time Of
two clerks in the ~treasurer's office.
These reports have been utterly worth
less ever since they were issued in 17S9,
and have undoubtedly cost the govern
ment hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When they were first printed they COW
cred not more than three or four pages.
They have increased in size until the
report of 1889 covered nearly 1000
printed pages. Not long ago the clerk
Of one of the committees went to
AMI Smith, superintendent of the SEN

there. Every train which has gone east
to-day has had on board a quota of

Coxeyites boarded one freight train and
were elected by marshals after q slight

injured and brought back to-day and an
other ring-leader, who had made louf
threats. was arrested and jailed. The
force Of men on guard at bridge has been
doubled and the men have been armed to
repel an attack. A number Of Coxeyites
at Handan will probably attempt to cross

the men are unable to cross the bridge
they will probably build boats and cross
