The STAR Office was favored this
morning witha call from Frank Mellow
ell, Mary. Parsons and Carl Schleeve,
prominent ranchers of Cheyenne river,
who represent the Fall River County
Stock Growers Protective Association.
They state that they have been misrep-
resensed regarding the little experience
Monday between the cattle men and
Mr.. Hulit. They say that the cattle
men were notarmed, and merely met
as interested stock growers to peace
fully protest against the introduction
Of sheep upon their range. This ques-
ton between cattle and sheep men is q
very important one and we hope can
be amicably settled. The cattle men
have called a meeting of their associa-
ton for September "a.

All Right as Stories Go.

The Hot Springs STAR sprung a story
last week which was copied in most of
the Hills papers to the effect that the
Keystone mine had been sold to New
York parties for $4,000. The story
was all right as stories go, but unfortu.
nately it was not true in any single
detail. Try it again, John.-Hil City

We shall have to round up our Rapid
City informant.

The Guilty sark a Bonanza.

The returns from the car of ore from
the Guilty Sark mine recently sent to
Omaha, are such as to make the hearts
of the owners rejoice. The ore was
not selected, but just the run of the
ledge. and averaged 800 per ton, and
with the amount of ore in sight the
mine has already proved itself to be
II of the very richest in the Hills.
With just the ore in sight there is
enough to make the owners independ-
emily wealthy.

Congress.

Tunley of Custer County for Lieutenant
Governor-They are after the
Hills vote.
I'm CAPT. LUCAS PLACE.

II. II. Conner was IS greatly surprised
as his host of friends when he received
the following message this morning:
Sioux FALLS, S. d., Sept. 6, 1894.
We have nominated you for congress
in Capt. Lucas place.
w. A. WHEELER.
Mr. Conner has been busy accepting
the congratulations of his friends up
on the honor thus conferred upon him
by his party, however ''empty" the
honor may prove to be. In him they
have at least named a deserving demo.
crat and one who will poll more than
the full vote of his party where known
best.
Mr.. Conner informs the STAR that
he has not learned who the other con.
gressional nominee is. The nomina-
ton came SO unexpectedly to him that
he did not care to talk about what he
should do regarding the acceptance of
it.
On Wednesday evening the demo-
cratic state convention nominated a
state ticket as follows;
Governor, james A. Ward, Pierre;
Lieutenant Governor, b. NJ. Tunley,
Custer City; Secretary of State, j. L

They were in session nearly all night.
According to the Sioux City Jour
nails report. the platform adopted de-
nounces the republicans and promises
to administer state, city and county
government much more economically
if the democrats are given power; ia
vors more railroad legislation and does
not want the railroads or corporations
to have any exemptions; promises re-
submission, indorses Cleveland; favors
free trade and the income tax; de-
mands that senators be elected by a
vote of the people; that laws be enact
ed to prevent the election of a N
gresham or senator who owns stocks
or bonds in any corporation to be
affected by national legislation, and
that neither national or state officers
be allowed to accept railroad passes.
There was u number of speeches over
the silver plank. The majority of the
committee demanded the coinage of
both gold and silver under conditions
that will maintain the parity of the
two metals. The minority demanded
the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver at II ratio of 16 to 1 re-
CARELESS of what any other country
does. The minority report was lost by
a vote of 253 to 141.

FRAUDS EXPOSED.
Some of the Tricks Of So Called Mint
Readers Solved by DR.. HysIOp.

Some of the Tricks of So Called Mind
Readers Solved by DR.. Hyslop.
DR.. Hyslop of Columbia college, says
writer in the Boston Herald, has help
ed to bring down several so called mind
readers who have visited New York.
The Taylors, a man and woman who
gave exhibitions In New York two
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them of the genuineness Of
their manifestations, gave private Sc
anoe for the benefit Of this Columbia
professor and some of his scientific
friends. They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had been Sc
lected from pack and then shuff1ed in
again, and all the other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, one Of
them staying In the room and being in
the secret, and the other coming in aft
er all was ready and supposedly read
ing the partners mind.
All went we'll until DIR. Hyslop and a
confederate took the Taylors aback by
announcing that they could do the same
things. They had found that the words
used by one Of the mind readers" liz
calling the other into the room were
what gave the desired information. It
was discovered that by skillful arrange
ment Of not more than six words sur
prising amount of information could be
conveyed. This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors were not genuine mind
readers has been made public
Another ''mind reader" exposed by
Dr. Hyslop and coinvestigators was
Guibal, who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
of persons, most of whom suppose to
this day that his tricks were bona fide
psychic phenomena Guibal's assistant
was woman called Greville, who sat
on the stage, and who, 30 far as could
be seen for long time, gave him abso-
lutely no sign of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as If
it were an open book. The whole thing
was found to be trick, and the expla-
nation is now in the archives of the So
ciety for Psychioal Research. 1t is be-
lieved that Guibal and Greville were
the same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before.
The woman breathed very heavily, and
the code of signals lay in the manner Of
her breathing, messages being conveyed
by long and short breaths, something
like the dots and dashes in the Morse
telegraph code

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT TEA.
Quaint Ideas Concerning the Cup Tha
Cheers, but Does Not Inebriate.


Quaint Ideas Concerning the Cup That
Cheers, but Does Not Inebriate.
There are probably more quaint super
Ksitions woven about tea than about any
thing else in the world. If you put
cream in your cup before the sugar, 1t
will "cross your love-, so you must be
very careful. If, while the tea is being
made, the lid, removed to pour In the
water, is forgotten to be replaced, it is
the sure sign of the approaching arrival
of stranger.
If tea stalk floats in the cup, it is
called ''beau, and when this is seen
unmarried women should stir their tea
very quickly round and round and then
hold the spoon upright In the center Of
the cup.
If the ''beau' is attached to the spoon
and clings to 1t, he will be sure to call
very shortly, if not ON that very even
ing, but If the stalk goes to the side Of
the cup, he will not come In some
places this is also said to denote the
coming of stranger, and II the stalk
is soft the newcomer will be lady; if
tough, gentleman.
If you want to know how many years
will elapse before you are married,
balance your spoon on the edge of your
cup, first noting that it is perfectly dry,
fill another spoon with tea, and holding
it above the balanced spoon let the
drops of tea gather to the tip of the
spoon and gently fall into the bowl of
the one below. Count the drops Each
one stands for year.
II the cluster of small air bubbles
formed by the sugar collect and remain
In the center of the cup, it is sign of
fair weather If they rush to the sides,
there will be rain very shortly. Phil

Robert Burns.

He was born and brought up in the
midst of poverty and comparative igno-
rance When, in 1857, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne visited the poets residence at
Dumfries and took notice of It's filthy
and malodorous surroundings, he won
dered that Burns could have preserved
his marvellous genius in such an unsa-
worry spot. The author of ''The Scarlet
Letter. was even more Mortified at the
wretched aspect of Burns farm at Moss
Riel and could not compare the habita-
ton In which the Scottish bard passed
SO many of his days to a pigsty. 1t is
sad,'' wrote Hawthorne, to think OF
anybody-not to say poet but any hu-
man being-sleeping, eating, thinking,
praying and spending all his home life
In this miserable howell He praises the
''heroio merit of Burns for being no
worse man amid "the squalid him
ORANGES" that beset the poets moral and
intellectual development.
Hawthorne was right. Low associa-
lions, bad sanitary conditions and the
companionship of the vile are all but
fatal to human virtue. Burns was never
utterly degraded He was always, in
spite of his failings, true man, and
his passionate love for his fellow men
outlived all his sufferings.
His relations with Jean Armour,
though they proved his frailty and hers,
were honorable to him in some respects,
for he left nothing undone to repair the
error of his youth. His intemperance
was rather the effect Of his convivial
disposition than of any vicious tenden-
oy. If he sinned, he paid the penalty,
one might say. with his life. His ca
reer terminated at 81, and, having re-
gard to his circumstances and opportu-
mites, his record as poet is unparal-
leled, for no man ever achieved SO much
as Burns with so little aid from the
world and with such terrible impedi-
ments in his path. Westminster Re-

CURIOUS TEA PARTIES.
The Odd and Eternal Little Functions Thi
Are Held In Pearl Street.

The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl Street.
There is an everlasting tea party IN
function on Pearl street, near Hanover
square. An aroma of freshly stepped
leaves fills the air all the week, and fol-
lowing your nose to the cause you will
find 1t pointing down to little gloomy
easements where teacups are perpetual
ly spread. They are all plain white
cups, and there is no display of table
cloth or dainty cakes-just plain tea.
And the methods of the tea parties that
foregather there are just as plain and
unceremOniouS
They generally consist of old gentle
men of severely respectable appearance,
and when these old parties feel like 1t
they go down the basement steps and
take pinch of tea out of a daddy or
suacer, or whatever 1t may be kept in,
and put it in the cup and pour little
hot water ON 1t, but never any milk or
sugar. And then, despite their eminent
ly respectable air, they dip their fingers
in the cups and stir the tea leaves about
or maybe fish out a leaf and unroll 1t,
sometimes putting it In their mouths
and chewing it.
But, strangest thing Of all, they new
or drink their tea after all the trouble
they have taken with IT. In fact, they
seem to take strong dislike to the in
fusion as soon as 1t is before them.
Sometimes they sniff at 1t. and If ever
they take it into their mouths they do
but roll 1t around and spit 1t out.
Moreover, they Will do the same things
with half dozen cups in succession
until Dr. Johnson-unless he knew the
reason-would have cried out at the
waste of the cheering but uninebriat-
ing beverage.
Meanwhile other gentlemen sit also
at the table and anxiously watch all
this shifting and splitting, for these are
the tea tasters and samplers, and this
is where tea is bought and sold not by
the pound, but by the carload. New

Live stock Points.

The universal verdict on the horse
shows of the season is most satisfactory.
1t is that such splendid gowns were new
er before seen at horse shows.
1t is impossible now to buy share
of the stock of the National Horse Show
association. This is the one that displays
hackneys and high jumpers at Madison
SQUARE Garden. The annual New York
horse show is one Of the best paying en-
terprises in the big city. Ten years ago
it was SO poor that its stock was some
times offered in payment of debts 1t
had incurred. Its present tremendous
success is an index partly of how the in
terest in improved horse breeding has
grown in America. partly Of the increase
of wealth which enables fashionable So
oiety more and more to show off its
good clothes
There are men and women who really
and truly have a magnetic power to
control horses. They themselves do not
know whence it comes, butsa horse has
somehow instructive confidence in
them. These people are never cruel.
Horses follow them around and obey
them. The gift comes by nature and
can never be wholly acquired by any
amount of effort Anybody can learn to
manage horses fairly well and intelli-
gently if be has sufficient pluck, but

secret of the power is the utter absence
of fear of horse and the inherent

Cement Stable Floor,

Coal ashes will make an excellent
material for mixing with the hydraulic
lime and sand for the concrete for a STA
BILE floor. Wood ashes will not answer
the same purpose. What is required is
something that is bulky and will fill up
with the cement, making an artificial
stone, and of such character as will
be firmly bound in stony mass that will
wear we'll. The rough porous nature OF
coal ashes Is precisely what is needed
for this purpose, and thus it answers as
a substitute for gravel and broken stone.
