AN EXPENSIVE LIGHT.



inveterate smokers acknowledge
that the habit is a most expensive one,
but it is seldom that light for cigar
costs a smoker q fortune, as in the
story told by the author Of Chances
Back Through Seventy Years" He
was an inveterate smoker, having CON-
tracted "a diseased habit Of putting
away at cigar every moment he was
not eating or sleeping" He smoked
only the very best brands, and In
those careless days spent, he says, more
for cigars than it afterward cost him
TO live.
Nell, one afternoon day or two be-
fore "Palmers Life" was published,
had been to a prize-cattle show at
Chelmsford and then to a dinner with
the Royal Agricultural society, and on
arriving in town by the last train, as I
was walking homeward my cigar un-
fortunately went out and. much to my
annoyance, | discovered had no fuses
about me. The streets, too, were de-
serted, so that there was nobody from
whom light could be obtained.
On descending Ludgate hill noticed
that the gas of the gas lamp, perched
high against the wall just within
Belle-Sauvage yard, was broken. There
being n slanting ledge at the lower
part of this wall placed my foot on it,
and. springing up. succeeded in light
ing paper-spill which / had impro-
vised, but in my rapid descent one of
my feet unluclSily caught the edge of

broke the small bone of my leg.

geon was sent for and the broken limb
was set. Then l was put to bed and
told should have to remain there a
month or more.
1t was while was fretting under this
Involuntary confinement that my part
ner In 'Palmer's Life" paid me a SYM
pathetic visit and bought me out of
the speculation for mere song, with
out, OF course, saying word to me of
the phenomenal success our joint ven-
ture had already met with.
Owing to this circumstance l have
always reckoned that the going-out of
my cigar cost me about fifteen hundred
pounds, which actuaries tell me would,
with compound interest added, have
amounted to some six thousand pounds
at this date. A sum sufficient, / fancy,
20 buy up all the ''partagas imperiales
superfnos" in the world.

PATENT LEATHER.
The Process for Producing the Shay
Surface.

Surface.
Japanned leather, generally called
patent leather, was first made in
America. A smooth, glazed finish il
first given to calfskin in France. The
leather. says the New York Telegram,
is curried expressly for the purpose,
and particular care is taken to keep IL
rs free as possible from grease; the
skins are then tackled on frames and
coated with n composition of linseed
oil and umber, in the proportion OF
eighteen gallons of oil to five OF umber
boiled until nearly solid and then mixed
with spirits of turpentine to the proper
consistency. Lampblack is also added
when the composition is applied IN or
der to give color and -hady-Frora
three to four coats of this are nsces-
sary to form n substance to receive the
varnish. They are laid on with knife
or scraper. To render the goods soft
and plant each coat must be very
light and thoroughly dried after each
application. A thin coat Is nfterward
applied of the same composition of
proper consistency to be put on with Q
brush and with sufficient lamphlack
boiled in it to make @ perfect black
When thoroughly dry 1t Is cut down
with scrsper having turned edges,
when it is ready to varnish. The princi-
pal varnish used is made of linseed oil
and Russian blue, boiled to the thict-
ness of printers ink. 1t Is reduced
with spirits Of turpentine to q suitable
consistency to work with brush, and
then applied In two or three separate
coats, which are scraped and pumiced
until the leather is perfectly filed and
smooth The finishing coat Is put on
with special care In room kept closed
and with the floor wet to prevent
dust The frames are then run into an
oven heated to about one hundred and
aeventy-fve degrees. In preparing
this kind of leather the manufacturer
must give the skin as high heat as 1t
can bear IL order to dry the compost
ton on the surface as rapidly as pos
sible without absorption, and eau
tiously, so as not 10 injure the fiber OF
the leather.

OTTO BRAUER.

/ Death alone has his harvest at all times
er the first blade or the ripened grain fall
beneath his scythe.
| Another young man is taken from our
midst. OTTo BRAUER departed this life
at P. NJ, July Z, at the residence of H.
D. Enoe, thirteen miles northeast of
Onida. The deceased was born in Penn
sylyania in January, 1870. His mother
having died and his father remarrying the
boy was thrown upon the world at; an
early age. He drifted westward and final
ly settled in Craig, Neb. While there he
contracted that dread disease, consump
ton, and came with his friend, Herbert
D. Enoe, to this place last fall, hoping to
better his health. After returning to Ne
braska to settle business matters, he again
came here, with the intentions of settling.
Mr., Enoe did everything in his power to
prolong the young mans earthly stay,
and has been loving and constant nurse
to him whose life was ebbing away. A life
| which as it grew weaker in the flash, grew
stroner in the christian faith and termin-
ated in perfect rest in Christ. Among his
last words, these; II have but one regret,
and that IS, am going to my Savior emp
| ty handed"
Although so short time among us Mr.
| Brauer leaves large circle offriends, and
one dearer than a brother, to mourn his
loss The funeral occurred at 10 A. M.
Monday at Mr. Enoe's place, Rev. G. w.
Cruger delivering the funeral sermon,
from there the procession formed which
followed the remains to their last resting
place in the Onida Cemetery.
| When he heard the summons
He was ready to go home
And the light that here was fading,
| Frightened in the fairer home
| From the pain of this worlds living
| God has called again his own;
| And the grief of friends is softened,
| Knowing he is at His throne. e. J.

HOME HAPPENING GS.
70 Be Consolidated.

The business for newspapers in Sully
County having become limited with
the hard times, and wishing to extend
our business over the whole field in
stead of curtailing and dividing
it, and G.. w. Everts, realizing the sit
uation, desired to seek new and more
lucrative location and to dispose OF the
Onido Journal. The proprietor of the
WATcHMAN, has therefore, bought the
title and goodwill of the Oni00 Jour-
nal, together with the building it oc-
cupies, and will next week consolidate
that paper with the WAToHMAN. We
hope to give the people of Sully county
a paper that will be satisfactory to all
of them and merit their undivided sup
port, and would be pleased to enroll
all of the Journals subscribers on our
list. The publishers of Onida have
long since known that there was insult
fcient business here to properly support
one paper, which when divided between
two left avery meagre surplus, if any.
Mr.. Everts will at once remove his
printing material to Fort Pierre, where
he will establish new Populist paper.
The WATERMAN hopes his fondest
anticipations for financial success will
be realized.

One thing that the next legislature,
which will be populist, should do, is to
repeal the law which requires paper
to have been in existence one year be-
fore it becomes "legal paper The
law was adopted in the interest Of the
republican papers OF the state to cut off
the numerous populistic papers, which
are springing into existence all over
the state, from the revenue to be de-
rived from legal advertising and COM
pei their friends to give the same to the
cuckoos of the republican party, and
thus help them to exc out miserable
existence. 1t is contemplate cow
ardly law and we do not believe If
would stand judicial test at any rate.
But the quickest way to get rid of the
contemplate thing is to repeal 1t
O,aid0 Journal.
The above would Indicate that there
is sore spot somewhere, and of course
the Journal must blame the Republi-
cans for it. The law referred to was
originated by the State Press Assacla-
ton, a strictly -parsan organization,
and the writer happened to representa-
the meeting when the bill was drafted,
and knows that it was not done in the
interest of any political party but for
the protection of leglmate newspapers.
II. S. Volkmar, editor Of the Mllbank
Revieao, one of the rankest Populist
papers in the State, was one of the
most active advocates of the law and
was member of the COMMITTEES ap-
pointed to draft the bill and urge it's
passage. But then Bro. Everts can't
see anything only through biased eyes,
especially when he wishes to change
locations.

Condition of Trade.

With changes every bour in the
prospects about the tariff, and decision
expected every Cay, business has
unpleasantly resembled gambling.
Orders and purchases have been largely
based upon individual opinions regard
ing the legislative outcome, and vast
amount of business has been deferred
because the decision was yet in the
future. The accommodating demand
which has stimulated trading and
manufacturing within the past week or
two represents to a great extent needs
which have been postponed waiting for
a settlement, but can be postponed no
longer. Thus both the rush of deferred
business in many lines, and the scanti-
ness of new orders reaching into the
future, reflect an unnatural state of
things which cannot be expected to
continue, and while the volume of
business is larger than the existing
condition Of uncertainty warrants, it is
in a sense but shadow of the larger
business which should come with a
removal of uncertainty.
In such circumstances the present
indications and conditions are of
comparatively little value, but the
startling advance in corn discloses a
general belief that the injury to this
most important crop has been so great
as to affect materially the traffic of
railroads, the demand for manufactured
products, and the cost of meats for the
coming year Unless the markets
deceive and are entirely deceived, the
country has to face a real calamity in
the loss of something like 100000, 900
bushels of corn, and this loss consumers
have to share through the advance of
fourteen cents in two weeks and nine
cents since Friday of last week.
Neither official nor unofficial statements
as yet preclude the hope that the loss
may prove less serious, but at current
prices 500 million bushels would cost
as much as 1000 million bushels would
have cost a fortnight ago. Wheat has
risen 81 cents in the fortnight, and .
during the week, although Western
receipts have been 5,223,12S bushels
against 3,162,6 ,694 last year. Atlantic
exports are still about half as large as a
year ago, 1899, ,4S5 bushels against
2,734, ,7S4 last year. Pork products are a
little stronger, as is natural. Cotton has
twice risen and again declined a
sixteenth with increasing prospects of a
very large yield, closing without change
for the week.-Dun's Review.
