Historic Wheat.

Experts on the subject of bread grains
say that wheat can be traced back into
the dim past across the line marked by
the advent Of historic man into the dim
shades Of the stone age. 1t has been
known in Egypt and in the valleys of
the Euphrates and the Tigris since the
time when history ''runneth not to the
contrary" The prehistoric races which
formerly lived in the famous "lake
dwellings," which were built on plat
forms supported by piles driven in the
lakes of Switzerland, had their mealing
stones, wheat mortars, sickles and other
grain harvesting and 1ourmaking appa-
raths at least 1000 years ago. Wheat
found in ancient Egyptian tombs and in
the ruins Of the lake dwellings referred
to is identical with that which has so
bountifully blessed the husbandman in
the Mississippi valley in this season of
1896.-St. Louis Republic.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND in that por-
ton of his message devoted to immi-
grafton shows that the immigrants
coming from the Scandinavian coun-
tries have less percentage of litter
ates than is found among immigrants
from other countries, thatof Sweden be-
ing but trif1e over one per cent. This
speaks well for the condition of pop
ular education in that country. This
is what he says:
The number of immigrants over
fourteen years old, the countries
from which they came and the par
entage OF illiterates among them
were as follows: Italy, 57.315, with
$3.50 per cent; Ireland, 81, ,496, with
Z per cent; Russia, 35,1SS, with A.

cent; Germany, 25,334, with 2.96

found that the screw Of the adjustment
had become hopelessly bent, and there
fore the nut would not move either up

ARE YOU A VOTER?

One of the constitutional amend
ments adopted by the vote Of the peo-
pie at the recent election, makes sew
eral important changes in regard to
the qualifications Of voters. The
most important change is the one re-
quiring person to be fully natural
lied citizen before possessing the right
to vote. Hitherto persons of foreign
birth have been permitted to vote af-
ter having declared their intention to
become citizens of the United States,
that is, after having taken out their
first papers, but now it will be neces-
sary to have taken out their second
papers also before they can vote at
elections of any kind. A foreigner
must have resided in the United
States five years before he can take
out his second papers and be admitted
to full citizenship, hence persons of
foreign birth must have resided in
the country at least five years before
they can vote. The new law also
requires that one shall have been
full citizen of the United States dur
ing a period of at least three months
before taking part in any election.
This provision will work some injus-
~-tice at the start, and will disfranchise
a large number of voters at the next
spring elections. It will be imposs-
-ible for many, who have taken part
in elections heretofore, to procure
their secand papers in time to make
up the three months citizenship re-
quirement before the spring elections
take place, hence they will be de-
prived of their. vote. An effort has
been made TO get Judge Ives to come
here day for the purpose of granting
second papers, but he is at present
holding term of court at Crookston
land can not come. Quite few have
gone to Crookston to get said papers,
but this entails quite an expense, as
two witnesses must be brought along
to prove the applicants citizenship.
No one neither can hold an elective
office, whether it be school district,
township, county or state, without
being admitted to full citizenship,
and this may cause some friction in
many towns in this county and
elsewhere,
The new amendment also requires
a residense of six monthsinthe state
preceding any election before being en-
titled to vote. Hitherto four months only
have been necessary. A residence Of
thirty days in the election district pre-
ceding any election is required, in
stead of ten days as heretofore.

Nest of Clock Springs.

In the Museum of Natural History at Soleure, in Switzerland, there is birds nest made entirely of steel. There are a number of clock-making shops at Soleure, and in the yards of these there are often found lying disused or broken springs of clocks. One day clock maker noticed in tree in his yard a birds nest of peculiar appearance. EX- amining it, he found that a pair of wag- tails had built nest entirely of clock springs. It was more than four inches across, and perfectly comfortable for the birds. After the feathered archi- tects had reared their brood, the nest was taken to the museum, whrre it is preserved as striking illustration of the skill of birds in turning their sur 1oundings to advantage in building their nests.

JEROME FIRE.
Foundry of the Verde Copper Company
 Burned to the Ground.

Jerome Mining News: At. if teen minutes to 5 o'clock Thurs day afternoon the foundry of the Unit ed Verde Copper company was discov- cred to ibe on fire and in. less than forty five minutes the foundry. the office of Superintendent Giroux, the as- say office and couple of small out buildings were burned to the ground A heavy wind from the southwest made it impossible to confine the fire to the foundry, the assay office, a wooden building, standing but few rect northeast of the foundry. It was very fortunate that the wind was in a direction to carry the flames away from the main buildings which are sit uated south of where the buildings were burned, as it is almost a certainty that all the old parts of the works would have been wiped out, as they are mostly built of wood. The fire caught in the cupola of the foundry. The pa- pers, safe, furniture in the sl1perin- rendents office were saved, but from the foundry and assay office little was saved. Many dollars worth of pat terns were destroyed in the foundry. The blacksmith shop, which stands but six or eight feet from the west end of the foundry, was not injured. The buildings were insured.

Parker on the Colorado, and from the river to Congress. From the latter point MT Vaughn says the survey will parallel the s. F., P. & P. to Phoenix, and afterwards confine its route up the Gila and terminating at Deming, New Mexico, probably.
 Speaking of the building of the road MT. Vaughn said that while his work was more for the purpose of selecting "a feasible route and of looking over the country, it had not been deter mined, however, to build the road, and that he was not authorized to warrant the assertion of the many reports which have been circulated of late that the road would be built.
 MT. Vaughn left this afternoon for Deming, where he will commence next week surveying westward, and will probably be engaged at such work for several weeks. Phoenix and Solomon vile will be the only prominent Ari- ! zona parts the new survey will touch, but "a new and rich agricultural and mining section will, however, come in close reach of the projected road
 Concerning the probability of a new transcontinental railway passing through Arizona on the route now be- ing looked into, there is much specua- ton being indu,ged in While one can only speculate on the outcome of the present rest,essness of railroad corpo- nations and but grasp at their future designs, there is every reason that the present activity of Major Vaughn has something more than the work of a 1 preliminary survey back of it.

His Piece Was as Applicable One Time as

 A snowman at fair possessed a beautiful parrot which accompanied him everywhere on his peregrinations through town and country, and excited the admiration of the gaping crowd by it's capital limitations of the snowman s voice and tones when inviting5the pul- lie to step into the booth. One day the faithful creature broke it's chain and escaped into a neighboring plantation. Soon a number of men and boys were on it's track, but before they had gone far they heard loud noise caused by the shrieking of birds in the wood. On arriving at the spot whence the sounds proceeded they found poor Poll perched on the withered branch of a tree, be- reft of most of it's feathers and sur rounded by a flock of screeching crows that were mercilessly pecking at it with their peaks. Notwithstanding this pitiable state of affairs the crowd of seekers could not refrain from laugh ing as they heard the poor victim scream out at the top of his voice: "One at d time, gentiemen: Don't crush 50, please! Take your time! There's plenty of room!"

THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.
Doings of the Police Department for
 the Past Year.

At the next meeting of the city coun- cil Marshal Clark will present his an- nual report showing the work of the police department during the first year of his incumbency. He speaks in words of the highest praise of the efficient work of his deputies, Bailey and Hook er who, he says, have had a great dea. of work in maintaining the peace of the city, not because the crimina, ele- ment were too much in evidence, but on account of the vast territory they had to patrol
 He will recommend that the police force be increased by two more men for in times of fiestas or excitement of any kind special officers have been appoint ed. Moreover, he considers the city and suburbs too great an extent of ter ritory to be covered by the present force. The marshaPs duties are so varied looking after streets, alleys, ditches etc., that he has but little time to devote to the peace of the city.
 He will recommend that an ordi- nance be passed prohibiting the use of fireworks on all occasions, especially the Fourth of July, without first hay ing secured a written permit from the mayor stating when and where the fireworks are to be used.
 He will also suggest that an ordi- nance be passed empowering either the mayor or marshal to designate the places where religious or other street meetings may be held. At present Washington street is always selected by those parties, and the congrega- tions block both the street and side walk, greatly impeding travel.
 During the year there have been 1,049 arrests made by the city officers, the greatest number being for va grancy. The amount of fines imposed was $5,499, of which amount 2,4O6 was paid, the rest being worked out on the chain gang.

JEROME MINES.
Mining Properties in That District
 Looking Up Vel.

Jerome Mining News: To keep in Line with the new mining deals in the Jerome district and it's neighboring "a man busy in the saddle half the time. And to keep track of the many new strikes would wear out the best man in the district.
 In the Jerome district at a number of promising prospects preparations are being made to receive some Montana capitalists and mining experts who will arrive today. It is thought that the visit of these gentlemen will have a beneficial effect upon our mining in dustry as they are men who have had years of successful mining experience
 The News has been unable to learn the extent of the new strike in the Joe Dandy any farther than at a depth os about sixty feet the character of the ore has changed from a white pow dered decomposed quartz to a honey combed rose co,ored quartz through which a very rich streak runs. The ore body is said to be over two feet wide, all of which pans high.
 On Cherry Creek proper Howard & Burmister are erecting their stamp mill as fast as possible. At the Smith & Sines mill a Johnson concen trator is now at work. At the Etta mill on the Verde concen trators will be added at once. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of operators in this dfstics that with concentators there are thou sands of tons of ore now in sight in the district which will pay handsomely t work.
 It is reported that the Wingield mine on the Verde side of the Cherry district has been sold to Chicago peo- pie through MT. Mulvehiil of the Mul- vehin Clothing company of this city. The price is said to have been between five and seven thousand dollars. In the shaft or tunnel of this mine there ; is a rich body of free gold quartz said to be twenty-nine inches wide.
 Watson & Donaldson continue to take pay ore from the claims they have under lease and bond On the Verde they are pushing the erection of their mill as rapidly as possible.
