For years the majority Of this free

Belle Fouche, where water and coal

OF the station and at this point. at the
mouth OF Squaw creek, the ore that is
now being taken out shows a value OF
$40 to $50 a ton. 1t is being sent to
Kansas CITY smelters, pending negoti-

Horse Power In Lightning.

among natural phenomena. To-day we
know that the average electrOmotive

Peculiar Shape of the Land Caused by
the Measuring Process

Peculiar Shape of the Land Caused by
the Measuring Process.
1t is commonly accepted theory that Il
man steps three feet, and many tract of
land has been stepped off, instead of
measured with Il chain. In the West they
obviate the difficulties of surveys by the
land being divided into sections, but in
Pennsylvania much of the property, cspe.
cially in the mountains, must still be de-
scribed by metes and bounds.
o. In one of the counties in West Penn
sylvania are Two brothers, one of whom is
tall and lank, the other short and fat
Many years ago they purchased tract OF
mountain land calling for a mile square
They divided the labor of measuring it,,
one stepping off one side and the other
the other side. Then they fenced it in
and were perfectly satisfied until recently
when suit was brought to recover con
siderable tract o. land. Each brother
swore that he knew the measurement to
be right, and told how it had been done.
Then as the spectators saw the short legs
OF the one, scarcely long enough to reach
the floor when he sat in chair, and the
elongated extremities of the other, there
was general laugh, in which the Judge
and attorneys joined. Upon surveying
1T was found that one line was mile and
n half long and the other only little
over half ile.-Washington Star.

That they have good show we do not
need to say; their reputation insures it.
The Barlow Brothers managers, always
looking how to best please the public,
long ago decided that but one way was
possible, and that was, not only to keep
their entertainment abreast, but in adj
vance of other minstrel shows. This rule
has been rigidly adhered to. and the re-
suit has been its own Justification En-.
loying the confidence of the public, they
have no feaI in engaging the highest
priced talent, because they know that all
such investments are always repaid by
the increased patronage accorded. Their
tour this season has been one continuous
ovation,
