..Is There "A IIelI?,.

Now we have the new preacher"
for as tho old fashioned women have
passed away, 30 also have the antique
clergymen, who formerly talked about
tho golden seats in heaven and tho
roaring fires OF an eternal hell. One
OF the new preachers in this end OF the
universe is the Rev. Frank Z. Mason,
OF Brooklyn. At the First Church Of
Christ, the other night, DR.. Mason
spoke in answer to the question, as
there hell?" and this is what he said:
4Yes, IL you make one. There is no
local hell. He'll and heaven are con-
ditions OF mind, not locations. He'll
is the abridgment Of power. 1t is the
shriveling OF the mind. Man carries
his own birthstone in the pocket OF his
thought. 1t is set on fire by the fric.
ton Of negative ideas. The pessimist
relegates his heaven to futurity. The
optimist enjoys it on earth. The one
who is continually singing, earth is n
desert drear, heaven is my home
lives in perpetual hell. He is suiT-
ering from ecclesiastical dyspep-
sia. Ho has eaten tho forbidden
apple and can not digest it."-Brook-

lie Avoids Giving Credit.

Arizona has lots of things, says the
Los Angeles Times, which the bal
ancc OF the world can't boast OF, among
which Gila monsters are peculiar.
But, perhaps, the most peculiar, and
in one sense the most creditable-not
only to Arizona, but to the world Mt
large-is the conception of Tempe
grocer of that territory He won't
give credit. That is the inexorable
law OF his grocery store. He tells
everybody to come and buy for cash,
and when his customers tell him they
have not got the cash, he tells them
in his good natured way: "Call at my
counter and get it, and thon buy what
You want The funny part OF the
business is that be does just what he
says he will do, and this ia how he
does it. a customer makes out a list
OF the things he wants. IT is sub.
mitted TO the cashier. who affixes the
price to each item, adds up the
amount, makes out promissory
note for the amount, presents 1t to the
customer, the customer signs it, then
without discount-the customer is
given the amount in cash and told to
go forth into the store and buy the
goods he has inscribed on the list.
This Tempe grocer has solved long
lost problem, one which the grocers
will, in oil probability, be only too
glad to Jump at. 1t gives them a
promissory note and does away with
that Internal nuisance OF open debts
which under the laws of this and
other states, it takes SO long to re.
cover on, with the chances of no re.
coyery.

Black Hills Farming.

There has been such conflicting re.
ports as to the crop OF the Hills
country this season that cores
pendent has made special effort to
get at the facts. TO begin With, you
may find adjoining farmers who
have exactly opposite views as to
what the harvest will be. Small grain
is two weeks later than usual, owing
to the continuous cold weather
through May and June. Wheat is
turning nicely, as rule is we'll filed
and will yield from 20 to % bushels
per acre. Oats and other grain prom
ise large returns. Corn crop will be
short. If there is a fair rainfall dur
ing the early part OF August there will
be heavy potato crop otherwise it
will be moderate. Garden truck was
never so good as this year.

Railroad for Charles Mix,

Charles Mix county has Diet ermined
to have railroad to transport the
immense crop now being harvested.
A quiet meeting was held few days
ago and a systematic organization
was effected by the representative
men of the county. Reputable part
les guarantee that il the people will
construct the grade through the
county on the line of the old survey
of the Northwestern between Wheeler
and Mitchell a road will at once be
equipped and operated. Those pres
emit seemed confident that many days
WORK with men and teams would be
contributed by the farmers. A gen.
eral committee OF five to act with
township soliciting committees was
appointed. Men in Dawson and
Douglas counties are ready to take
hold OF the matter through the terri
tory interested and the work will be
pushed rapidly all along the line. 1t
is expected that at the meeting to be
held on Saturday, August 10, the gen.
eral committee will be ready with
their business with the corporation
which is negotiating the scheme. The
character and responsibility OF the
men interesting themselves in the mat
ter dissipates any notion that might
be entertained about this being simp-
" an advertising dodge.

AN ISLAND HOLOCAUST.
IL Is Possible That "a Hundred PeO-
ple Perished in a Forest Fire.

Marinette, Wis. Aug. 1.-The prob
ability is that one hundred residents
of Beaver Island. located in Green
bay at the entract of the Straits of
Mackinaw, have persisted in the for
est fires which have desolated the
entire island during the last few
days. Capt. Young, Of the steamer
Cuda, who arrived here to-day reports
Beaver island atre. Wednesday
night the island was enveloped in
flames, which could be seen by pass
ing vessels for many miles out into
the lake. The Inhabitants. who are
employed in fishing and numbering,
number about 100. The island is
fifty miles away from the mainland,
and it is not believed that aid could
have been secured in time TO save
life and property.
Bcaved island is the largest in the
group of islands near the straits Of
Mackinaw, and on this island many
years ago James J. Strang, the Nor
mon prophet, attempted TO establish
a Mormon kingdom, which failed
upon his death. His body is buried
on the island. Fishing is the principal
industry there Few vessels stop at
the island. but vessels bound through
the straits Frequently pass in sight of

neering.

An interesting use of photography Is
noted in the last annual report of the
city engineer of Rochester, n. Y. To
meet the requirements of construction
his department has found it necessary
to prepare 1876 Photographic negatives,
800 prints and 1876 lantern slides. Pho
Biography was used for many pur-
poses. In the first place, for record
Of old structures, which may have had
an important place in the early local
history. Second. as a record of con-
struction, for the purpose Of study,
and also for the purpose of squirting
the inspectors and contractors to great
er care. Flashlight pictures are taken
of the inside Of completed sewers, 50
that the details of the work can be
examined at leisure. Many photo
graphs are made for the law depart
ment TO be used In cases Of suits for
personal injury by reason of defects IN
walks or pavements. Copies are past
ed into substantial albums. and are
Of constant use in discussion with al
dermen and other officials, as well as
taxpayers. On one occasion ii was
necessary to educate the public of the
city TO a better comprehension OF the
question Of beauty in bridge designs.
The engineer prepared lecture on
city bridges and illustrated it by lao
lantern slides made from photographs.
The slides We're selected to show ex-
listing structures which are failures,
in direct comparison with successful
and beautiful specimens of bridge
building. The lecture had good ef-
feet, and the engineer had the salts
faction OF selecting a bridge that was
artistic as we'll as useful.
