SHOSHONE FALLS

Phenomena Which Give Rise to Stories
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 DO seen
on the plains at considerable distance.
Then for days and weeks at a time there
ts 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 frosty night under
the same conditions from influences that
no one has been able to discover or ex-
plain.
Often above the monotone 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 sudden throbbing
is audible, measured by regular inter-
walls, like the beating Of 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 81 years the same bird
has come regularly on the 2oth, 27th
or 28th of March to repair and reoccu-
py it and raise brood of young. Char
Icy Walgomet first noticed her when he
located here in 1860. The nest was
standing then, and as long as he lived
there, until Eve years ago, he kept a
record of her reappearance. She never
varied moro than three days in 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 q
sediment which olings like frost to the
windows Of the little hotel and can be
scraped off with knife. Mr.. Keller,
who keeps the place, says that they
clean the glass every spring by laying
the sashes fiat and pouring upon them a
solution Of vinegar and salt After they
have soaked for three or four days the
coating can be wiped off with cloth,
but in q few weeks the glass is cokered
again, as if it was frosted. The sorapings
look like the dust Of lime. The same
sediment clings to the leaves of the
trees and vegetables that are grown
around the place and can be scrapeG Off
the rocks and the face OF the bare clay.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
From Sunfield Sun.

from Sunheld sun.
Are the words most applicable to the
event which occurred at the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. +. II. Deatsman
last Saturday evening. 2 Without a
word of warning, about one hundred
and fifty friends and relatives, from
Sebewa and this place walked into
their home, taking them completely by
surprise. The company took with them
IA ahandsome secretary which they pre-
sented to Mr.. and Mrs Deatsman as a
token of their friendship and esteem.
Rev. N. f. Gibbs made the presenta-
tion speech in highly creditable man
ner. Mr.. Deatsman responded in glow
ing terms, expressing himself and wife
as truly appreciative of the friendship
bestowed upon them. Refreshments
being served, singing and prayer were
next in order, after which the company
departed; regarding the event as one
long TO be remembered.
E. II. Deatsman will leave for his
future home in Belding the last of this
week. 1t is with feelings of regret
that his many friends in this vicinity
bid him FAREWELL fully realizing that
Belding is to receive one of our most
enterprising business men. Mr.. Deats-
man has been in business here for
number of years and through his brs
mess transactions has made friends Gor
miles around. The best wishes of the
sun will attend himself and WIFI IN
their new home.

WESTWARD THE SHOE TRADE.

The boot and shoe industry, accord
ing to an important manufacturer at
Lynn, Mass, is destined to be removed
permanently from New England. where
it has long had its seat, to the west,
where 1T has already found some foot
ing. The Lynn man has it correct in
his observations of fact, but wrong in
the reason he assigns for the change
He attributes the removal to cheaper
labor in the west. 1t cannot be shown
that wages are lower in Chicago or any
other western city than in the manu-
featuring towns of New England. The
contrary is true. The shoe industry is
coming west for much the same reason
that the cotton industry is moving
south-to get nearer the sources Of raw
material. In addition, Chicago, besides
being the base of supply, is now by far
the most important center of distribu-
tion.
In word, there is no longer any
reason why hides should be shipped
from Chicago to Massachusetts to be
made into shoes and then carried back
as finished product to be sold in
Chicago and its territory. Such things
have been done in the past, but that
was before Chicago got its growth. New
England must be satisfied hereafter to
make shoes for her own slim and grace
full feet.-Chicago Times Herald.

It's a Grand Success.

The fact has been demonstrated by
the thousands OF testimonials the May
ers Drug Company, of Oakland, Nd,
has received since il has sent its fam
Gus Mayors Magnetic Catarrh Cure
out to the sufferers OF catarrh. No
medicine has received such an endorse
ment from the people in so short a
time as 1t did. The makers sell the
medicine on business principles. and a
patient is not required to buy the med
lcine by the dozen to get a cure. The
Mayors Magnetit CAtarrh Cure sells
for 81 per bottle, one bottle to last for
a three months treatment. 3 bottles
is the highest record ever required to
complete cure. General catarrh one
bottle Is guaranteed. No cure, no pay.
This Is an unequalled offer aud IL
you are sufferer from catarrh get a
bottle from your druggist, II no benefit
costs you nothing. A prominent Il x.

Blood Purifier, also nerve tonic, | am

venience.
| began taking your treatment on
March II, 1898, and can freely say | am
