A Minneapolis jury after four hours
wrestling acquitted Robt. Il. Lang, the
.swindling bank cashier and in regard to
the case the Journal draws in moralizing
words the following familiar picture:
1t was stated the other day in an ar
gument before Judge Pond, of the DIS
tict court, for the dismissal Of the case
against Robt. Il. Lang, that it \ was
neither morally nor legally wrong for a
man to borrow money by giving a note
signed by a minor or irresponsible per-
son, so long as the borrower Endorsed the
paper, he not wishing to appear as a
maker Of notes. This is exactly the
kind Of business done by the Guaranty
Loan Company when straw men We're
secured to sign notes in blocks of a hun
dred which we're sold by the company
afterward to unsuspecting purchasers
and carried through the business trans
action by the endorsements Of the com
pany. 1t may be that that sort Of bust
ness is not legally wrong, but it is q
method Of doing business that safe bust
ness men. do not c~ountenance or approve
and their disapproval must rest upon
moral grounds.

The test case OF the constitutionality
OF the seed wheat law which was carried
up from Mlnnehaha county slumbers in
the chambers Of the supreme court. 1t
Is we'll understood by all good lawyers
that this law is unconstitutional, but as
many obligations have been assumed on
the strength Of it which In necessity
ought to be fulfilled it is not likely that
the court will hand down a decision un-
til these have been repaid and then it
will, IL all probability, be against the
law.

Fourth Of July orators will find some
following from the great statistician
Mulhall's article in the North American
Review, on the Power and Wealth Of
the United States" Mr.. Mulhall's con-
cluslons is that 'if We take a survey Of
mankind in ancient or modern times as
regards the physical, mechanical and in
tellectual force OF nations, we find 10th
ing to compare with the United States
in this present year Of 1895 and that the
United States possesses by far the
greatest productive power in the world
He asserts that the absolute effective
force OF the American people is now
more than three tunes what it was IL
1860, and that the United States
possesses almost as much energy al
Great Britain, Germany and France col
l~ectively, and that the ratio falling t.
each American is more than what twt
Englishmen or Germans have at thei
disposal. He points out by careful com
parison between the conditions in thes
different countries that an ordinary farm
hand in the United States raises a
much grain as three in England, four i
France, five in Germany or six in Aus
tralia. One man in America can pre-

SHCSHONE FALLS.
Phenomena Which Give Rise to Storie.
About This Wonderland.

About This Wonderland.
Strange stories are told of phenomena
that appear at the Shoshone falls. Some
times when the air is perfectly still the
spray arises several hundred feet above
the walls of the canyon and can be seen
on the plains at a considerable distance.
Then for days and weeks at a time there
is scarcely any spray at all. Often the
whole canyon around the falls will be
filled with spray, and every bark and
rock will drip with moisture. Again it
will be as clear as a frosty night under
the same conditions from influences that
20 one has been able TO discover or ex-
plain.
Often above the !. cno 9ne of the fall.
ing waters weird sounds may be heard
unlike any that were ever named and
can be compared to no other, and again
from time to time a sudden ~throbblng
is audible, measured by regular inter.
walls, like the beating Of a human pulse.
These, too, proceed from no apparent
cause, and science has been unable to
solve their MYSTERY.
At the crest of the highest rock in the
center Of the Shoshone falls is the nest OF
an eagle, and for "a years the same bird
has come regularly on the goth, 27th
or 2Sth of March to repair and reoccu-
py it and raise a brood Of young. Char
ley Walgomet first noticed her when he
located here in 1860. The nest was
standing then, and as long as he lived
there, until five years ago, he kept a
record of her temperance. She neve
varied more than three days i'll her ar.
rival. Since his time the record has
been kept by others, who testify to the
same regularity.
The spray from the falls carries 9
sediment which clings like frost to the
windows of the little hotel and a be
scraped off with a knife. Mr.. Keller,
who keeps the place, says that they
clean the glass every spring by laying
the sashes fat and pouring upon them {

have soaked for three or four days TIM

but in a few weeks the glass is coveret

A Youux Lady, influence.

VVbS AsSs
The following is taken from one Of
Pansy's stories, lately published in the
Advance.
Both Rod and Mac admired Dorothy,
and they planned many little trips
which she and Emily were to enjoy to-
gether under their escort, but their in
vitations were always positively, though
c~ourteously declined. When this had
occurred several times, and under such
circumstances as limited at design, Mac
who was by nature o%utspoken, boldly hc-
cused Dorothy OF not intending 70 ac-
cept their courtesies aud demanded the
reason. Are you sure you want to
know" she asked with some hesitancy;
and when he assured her that he did,
she told him that she had declined his
and his brothers invitations from design.
She was sorry to appear rude, but she
had resolved long ago-taken a mental
pledge to that effect indeed that she
would not ride or walk or visit more
than vas necessary with young men who
used liquor ever so mildly as a beverage,
or tobacco in any form. What the world
needed today, she believed, more than
any other thing, was ipeople, especially
young people with moral force enough
to stand up squarely for the unpopular
side of these great evils; and SO far as
she was concerned, she would throw
every shred OF Influence which she
might possess on that side.
She did not desire to force others to
adopt her views, when he limited that such
was the case; she only reserved the right
to choose her friends among those who
stood for the principles which she be,
lieved were vital.
He was angry, very angry and from
that time till Dorothy went home he
and his brother were severely polite tc
her from a naughty distance. Never
theless the thoughts she had aroused
ranked.
She was the most cultured and grace
full and charming young lady they hac
ever met. Was it possible that she rep

who nevertheless were half ashamed o.

than ever before in what lines they in
tended to lead.

BOOTS HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
The Trade Badly Affected by the Increased
Wear of Shoes.

The Trade Badly Affected by the Increased
Wear of Shoes.
The diminished use of boots is a mat
ter of concern to the manufacturers Of
them and to the producers Of heavy
leather and heavy calfskins. Twenty
years g the calf boot industry was a
ieadingeone in New England.
Whole towns were studded with fac
tories which produced calf boots exclu-
sively. For a decade The sale has been
gradually falling off, and today it is of
hardly any Importance.
a few manufacturers of shoes include
boots as a speciality, but the demand is
too light to amount to much. When
calf boots were more in vogue, manu-
facturers consulted the p%artialities OF
the cowboys, to whom price was a Sec
ondary consideration.
The legs were frequently corded with
silk stitching. The star and crescent
and other fanciful concentrations were
inlaid on the legs of the boots. The
soles were inlaid with copper, zinc and
brass nails. The cowboys nc longer pay
&l5 or $40 for a pair of boots. They
want substance instead of show. But
they were not the only wearers of calf
boots. They We're extensively worn.
Many men prefer them today, though
the number is growing less. The old
fashioned stoga boots were formerly
sold in large quantities. They are we'll
nigh obsolete. There followed a demand
for a lighter and more stylish article.
A kip boot Of lighter texture was pro-
duced about equal in appearance to the
best calf boot, but this, too. has fallen
somewhat into disuse. Where there
were 20 factories producing boots ex-
clusively, there is now but one. Even
the farmers are using heavy shoes in.
stead of boots, and if it becomes a me-
oessity to wear long legged boots they
buy rubbers.
Twenty years ago the entire product
Of Salem and Peabody was heavy boots
and brogan leather. Today there are
less than half a dozen inner making
it. Brogans and plowshares are indis.
pensable in many sections Of country.
but there are comparatively few exclu'
sive manufacturers Of these now.
The Creedmore, Dom Pedro, English
ties and creole congress are supplantins
them. The decline in the consumption
of calf boots affects the tanners of calf
skins. 1t is q question what is to b.
done with heavy skins. The tanner
must necessarily buy more OF less o
them. They cannot select light and me
dunn weights exclusively, and If the,
tar them they feel no certainty of be
