1NvENrs A NEW BICYCLE.

Jefferson, Sept, 16.---Special:
John B. Cline, of this city, an ex-
perienced inventor and machinist,
has produced new bicycle that
he claims will revolutionize the
sport and cut large chunks off
established records, Mr.. Cline
asserts that with his method of
applying power a man exerting
the energy to drive an ordinary
wheel a mile in two minutes will
go faster than he will dare re-
main on the machine. Until his
rights are fully protected the in
ventor declines to have the details
made public. The following
comparative table will, however,
give some points regarding the

NJ. H. DAYS BIG srRIsE.

Deadwood Times: M. II. Day,
formerly of Rapid City, and who
is now engaged in hydraulic min
ing near Plattville, California, is
in the city, having come up from
Rapid yesterday, at which place
he has been for a couple of days.
He will remain here today and ex-
poets to depart tomorrow for Bos-
ton on some very important busi-
ness. Mr.. Day has "caught on"
in great shape out in California,
to which country he went but a
few years ago. He got hold of a
very large tract of land that has
proven immensely rich in fine
placer gold. He has put in a
large hydraulic plant and is work
ing the ground on a big scale,
taking out fortune. The gold
is coarse and bright, two small
sacks of which he has brought
with him and has exhibited to a
few friends here. Some time ago
Mr.. Day made a deal with a syn
dicate of Boston capitalists for
the sale of a portion of the
ground. He received 100000 as
the first payment and is to re-
ceive 100000 for his portion, in
the deal, the total consideration
being something like $500, 900.
It is to close the deal and get the
balance of the money that he is
going east. He reserves a por-
ton of the property and expects
to take a number of fortunes out
of it. Mr.. Days son Lee has been
here and at Bald Mountain for
|seyeral weeks carefully investi-
eating some property and it is
quite likely they will invest here.
He has not as yet decided what
to do with the Blossom property
near Rockford, which appears to
be rather difficult proposition.
Lee Day left Rapid City for Platt-
vile, Cal, last evening to look
after the placer mine.

Huron Huronite: Rev. Chas.
A. Potter has gone wrong either
in mind or heart, or in both. 1t
is singular and sad case. He
came to this city some ten or
twelve years ago, as the bright
young rector of Grace church.
IIe belongs to a family we'll
known in the church, and, so far
as this writer ever knew there
was no hint for some years that
his own preparation for life had
been in any other line. Shortly
after his establishment here he
went to Philadelphia and brought
home a young wife. A pretty
home was built and the happy
pair seemed to enjoy unbounded
respect and popul arity. Mr.,
Potter was solid rather than bril-
liant, but was held in respect for
his learning and substantial man
hood. After several years here
he went to the Church work in
the Black Hills, settling at Lead.
Later it became known that he
had business interests in this sec
ton in company with a brother.
Practically, he gave up the min
istry. and seemed wholly devoted
to business schemes of which he
had considerable number, wide
ly separated. He always carried
the appearance of prosperity, and
assured the representative of the
Huronite, at the late interview,
that himself and connections were
making "lots of money! The
fraudulent bon d matter was
weighing sorely upon him, but he
could and would make all good
who had lost through any repre-
sentation of his, whether legal
obligation to do this existed or
not. The Huronite finds it hard
to give him up as a man of honor
able intentions, though it is only
too evident that he has lost ment-
al or moral balance. He was
understood here to be nephew
of the great Bishop Potter of New
York.

/, A COUNTRY OF HOMES.

St. Louis Globe-D m rat:
"The greatest thing for a count
ry," exclaims Col. gngersoll, sis
for all of its citizens to have
home" and in this respect our own
country is to be regarded as the
greatest in the world. Our people
have what may be called the fire.
side instinct in a larger degree
than those of any nation. They
are pre-eminently home-makers,
and the proportion of them who
own homes is in excess of that
known elsewhere. The history
of the country from the first is
the story of a constant struggle
for the ownership of land and the
multiplication of family hearth
stones. This purpose has been
the controlling one in the work of
subduing the wilderness and ex-
tending the sway Of civilization
between the Atlatic and the Pa
cific. The log cabins of the ear
liest settlers represented the in
spiration which was to insure the
development of our unprecedented
resources and the winning of a
surprising order of prosperity.
Wherever American courage, in
dustry and fortitude have been
manifested, there have homes
been established, and the domes-
tic virtues nourished and encour-
aged. 1t is true, as Col. Inger-
soil says, that patriotism of the
best sort is always found where
such conditions exist. Those who
are part proprietors of a country
are sure to love it, and to hasten
to its defense in a time of peril,
as has been so grandly illustrated
in our own case.
There is no other one thing to
which we are more indebted for
our national welfare and progress
than the homestead laws. That
great measure of practical benefi-
cence gave more homes to home
less people than all the rest of
the influences at work in that di-
rection during all the preceding
history of the country. 1t pro-
lvided an opportunity for which
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1895-09-19

tens of thousands were longing;
it helped the poor and hard-work-
ing by enabling, them to help
themselves. We are too apt to
forget that in the absence of this
incentive and assistance, the set
tlement of the new West would
have been indefinitely postponed.
1t was the homestead law above
everything else that caused immi-
grafton to go beyond the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri, and to fill
the waste places with productive
ness and all the means of comfort
and enjoyment. The Government
was an immense gamer by the
policy which thus increased the
sources of its prosperity and
strengthened the devotion of the
people to its principles and insti-
tutions. A vast addition was
made to the homes of the country
in a comparatively short time, and
with the homes came churches,
schools, newspapers, railroads,
and all the other advantages that
have contributed so much to our
aggregate happiness and great
ness. The historians of the fu-
ture will not fail to dwell upon
the Importance of this movement
and to praise the wisdom which
made it possible.

At a recent reunion OF his old
regiment, Col. Robert ]. Ingersoll
delivered the address, which was
in his usual eloquent and impress
i've manner, and from which we
print his closing words:
Then think of the heroes who served
this country; who gave US this glorious
present and hope of still more glori-
Gus future; think OF the men who really
made US free, who secured the blessings
OF liberty, not only tous, but to billions
yet unborn.
When this country shall be covered
with happy homes and free men and
free women let us remember the dead
heroes. Thew belong TO us. Today we
remember the heroic dead, those whose
blood reddens all the paths and high
ways of honor; those who died upon the
field, in the charge, in prison pens. or
in famine's clutches; those who gave
their lives that liberty should not per-
ish from the earth. And today we re-
member the great leaders who have
passed tie realm of silence to the land
of shadow. Thomas, the rock of Chick
amauga, self-poised, firm, brave, faith
full; Sherman, the reckless, the daring,
the prudent, the victorious; Sheridan,
a soldier fit to have stood by Julius
Caesar, and to have uttered the words
of command; and Grant, the silent, the
invincibl, the unconquered; and, rising
over them all, Lincoln, the wise, the
patient, the merciful, the grandest fig
ure in the Western world. We remem-
Der them all today, and hundreds of
thousands who are not mentioned, but
who were equally worthy, hundreds of
Thousands of privates, deserving of
equal honor with the plumed leaders
of the hosts. And what shall say to
you, survivors of the death-filled days?
To you, my comrades, to you, whom
have known in the great days, in the
time when the heart beat fast and the
blood flowed strong; in the days of high
hope-what shall say? All I can say
is that my heart goes out to you, one
and all. To you, who barred your bos-
oms to the storms of war; to you,
who left loved ones, to die,
if need be, for the sacred cause; today
say to you. may you live long in the
land you helped to save; may the win.
ter of your age be as green as spring, as
full of blossoms as summer, as gener.
Gus as autumn, and may you, surround
ed by plenty, with your wife at your
side, and your grandchildren at your
knee, live long. And when at last the
fires of life begin to burn low; when you
enter the deepening dusk OF the last ot
many, many happy days, when your
brave hearts beat weak and slow, NAV
the memory of your splendid deeds;
deeds that freed your fel o w-m n
deeds that kept your country on the
map OF the world; deeds that kept the
flag of the republic in the air-may
the memory of these deeds fill your
souls with peace and perfect joy. LIE,
it console you to know that you are moi
to be forgotten. Centuries hence YOU,
story will be told in art and song, and
upon your honored graves flowers will
be lovingly laid by millions OF men and
women yet unborn.

SUN AND MOON.
A Couple of Interesting Folklore Stories
Concerning Those Lnminaries.

A Couple o1 Interesting Folklore Stories
Concerning Those Lnminaries.
The most touching of all folklore sto-
ries may be found in Charles F. Lum-
mis- pueblo Folklore It is one Of
the many myths of the moon and beauti-
fully conceived. The sun is the A llfa-
ther, the moon the Allmother, and both
shine with equal light in the heavens.
But the Trues, the superior divinities,
find that man. the animals, the flowers,
weary of constant day. They agree to,
put ont the Allfather's or suns, eyes
The Allmother-the moon-offers her
self as sacrifice. Blind me-" she
says, and leave my husbands eyes =
The Trues say, 1T is good, woman.
They accept tho sacrifice and take
away one of the Allmother eyes. Hence
the moon is less brilliant than the sun.
Tho man finds rest at night, and the
flowers sleep.
In Mrs. Leiber Cohen's translation Of
Sacher Masoch's .Jewish Tales" there
is variant Of the sun and moon story
derived from the Talmud. Briefly told,
the sun and moon are equally luminous.
It is the moon who wants to be more
brilliant than the sun. Deity is angerel
at her demands. Her light is lessened.
1.-THE moon grew pale. Then God pitiet
her and gave her the stars for compan-
ions.
