Ten days ago four parties were ar
rested for the murder of Meyers, the
stockman on Elk creek. But slow pro-
gress has thus far been made with the
case, and it seems impossible to tell
with any reasonble degree of certainty
what the outcome of the arrests will be.
The coroners inquest lasted through the
greater part of last week and the preli-
minary examination will commence in
a day or two. The case will doubtless
be vigorously contested from the start,
as Col. Parker and ex-District Attorney
w. G. Rice are for the defense, and
County Attorney Harvey is said to be
doing very hard work for the state

Nothing definite was agreed upon as
to q change in the location of the Black
Hills Chautauqua by the trustees of that
institution at their meeting in Hot
Springs on the 23rd inst. Hot Springs
has been given the opportunity OF
further time to raise the necessary funds
to secure it, a committee having been
appointed with that object in view.

would not be surprising if no session of

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 needs Of physical being, will attest
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 perfect lax
a,sive; eflectually cleansing the system,
dispeiling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction tc millions and
met with the approval of the medical

neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Facts Worth knowing,

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches,
snuffs- powders or astringents. be-
cause they are irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected sur
faces, and should be abandoned as
worse than failures. A multitude of
persons. who had for years borne ali
the worry and pain that catarrh can
infiict, testify to radical and perma-
nent cures wrought by Ely's Cream
Balm. Your druggist has it.

Not Ashamed of His Record.

"While waiting at railroad station
not many miles distant from Utica the
other day for an east bound train, said
man, "a train passed going west. AS
the end of the train pulled out of the sta
ton man with unusually long legs was
seen running into one end of the depot
and out of the other to the platform.
He started after the moving train at a
lively gait. He carried two grips, one
in either hand, and they swung to and
fro in laughable manner. On he went,
and on the train went. He gained on the
train at first, but the train was all the
time picking up and he finally stopped.
He walked back leisurely, the onlookers
at the depot waiting till he came up to
give him the laugh. AS he approached
them he dropped his grips, quietly put
his hand in his pocket, pulled out roll
of bills, selected a $40 note and ex-
claimed
"I'll bet $40 there is not man in
this whole crowd who can catch that
trainp
''Of course there were no takers, nor
did any one laugh at him for failing to
catch the train himself either. -

How Bridget Prepared Crabs,

Bridget, her Harlem mistress always
said, was willing but she did not
understand American cookery.
Her mistress sent home half dozen
live hard shell crabs one day and had left
word that they were to be prepared for
dinner. When the lady entered the
kitchen on her return home, she found
Bridget in tears and with her hands and
arms tied up. Two empty green crab
shells were on the table, three of the
crabs were mutilated and dead, and the
last one Bridget was preparing to attack.

Bridget, ''but that last devil in the cor

failed to inspire the poets, though it is

close wrapped pink petals that gradual

till the opposite side is almost white.

holding up the group of yellow antlers
on mauve pink stems The glossy green

Plastonenite.

1t is stated that the German inven-
ion-plastomenite, or improved smoke
less powder-has been satisfactorily
tested by the government authorities
As produced by Herr Gutter. the crig-
inator, the solution is poured into
FORMS where it becomes a fairly hard
material, capable of being pressed, roll
ed, etc, can be colored at will and is,
like celluloid, serviceable for numerous
purposes. AS powder, it is adapted for
blasting, for cannons and rifles, signal
rockets, etc. The special advantage,
however, claimed for it is complete du-
rability, while all other such powders
manufactured by the means of ether
and nitroglycerin invariably deteriorate.
The combustion of plastomenite, it is
also asserted, is so we'll balanced that it
leaves no residue in barrel or cartridge,
although the striking velocity of the
projectile is unusually great; the initial
velocity from a MN caliber is given
7l5m. with a gas pressure of consider
ably below 3, 600 atmospheres- Neither
cold nor hot weather has any effect up
ON cartridges Of this kind, whereas all
powders containing nitroglycerin suffer

we find them walking the tessellated
floor of the palace Jacob and Joseph,

herd.
: may say in regard to the most OF
you that your parents have probably
g4,.ted you for the last time or will
soon pay you such a visit, and have
wondered if they will ever visit you in
the Kings palace "Oh, you say, 81

ternal kindnessW Joseph was denied
maternal attendance. ooh, - you say,
81 am far away from the land of my
nativityW Joseph was far from home.
"Oh," you say, 81 have been betrayed
and exasperated!" Did not Joseph's
brethren sell him to passing Ishmael-
itish caravan? Yet God brought him to
that emblazoned residence, and if you
will trust his grace in Jesus Christ you,
too, will be empalaced.
Oh, what a day that will be when
the old folks come from an adjoining
mansion in heaven and find you amid
the alabaster pillars of the throneroom
and living with the King! They are
coming up the steps now, and the epau-
leted guard of the palace rushes in and
says: "Your fathers coming! Your
mothers comingl" And when under
the arches of precious stones and on the
pavement of porphyry you greet each
other the scene will eclipse the meeting
on the Goshen highway when Joseph
and Jacob fell on each other neck and
wept a good while.
Immortal Symmetry.
But, oh, how changed the old folks
will be-! Their cheek smoothed into the
flesh of a little child Their stopped
posture lifted into immortal symmetry.
Their foot now so feeble, then with the
sprightliness of bounding roe as they
shall say to you, ga spirit passed this
way from earth and told us that you
were hayward and dissipated after we
left the world, but you have repented,
our prayer has been answered, and you
are here, and as we used to visit you on
earth before we died now we visit you
in your new home after our ascension.
And father will say, Mother, don you
see Joseph is yet alive?'' And mother
will say, Eyes, father, Joseph is yet
alive" And then they will talk over
their earthly anxieties in regard to you,
and the midnight applications in your
behalf, and they will recite to each 9th
er the old Scripture passage with which |
they used to cheer their staggering
faith, II will be God to thee and thy |
seed after thee" Oh, the palace, the
palace, the palace! That is what Rich
ard Baxter called 1.-THE saints everlast-
