There is no longer anyquestion OF
the Republicans getting up a bran
new tariff law, and that in rush,
as they did the Mckinley robber
law of 1890. Republican members
of the Ways and Means committee
in Congress are even now at work
preparing such a measure, and say
an extra session will be called soon
after ther the President is inaugu-
rated, and push it through. Then
the cost of living will be much dear.
er, Notwithstanding money is so
scarce. But what care the Eas-
tern plutocrats, who already own
or control about three-fourths of
the money of the country, and want
the balance. We can only hope
that the Senate will at least hold
in check the cormorant gang.

1t is stated that the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf railroad has
purchased the Lott Road and will
soon have material on the ground
for completing the line to Hot
Springs. We hope this report is
true for it would give an impetuous
to our business in every line and at
the same time give us competing
line out of here. The road bed from
here to Hot Springs is one of the
finest in the south and in thirty
days could be repaired and all
bridges made.-Benton Courier,

We had a talk with Col. r. B.
Williams, local attorney for the
Iron Mountain railroad at this place,
and while he acknowledges the fact
that our statement was correct as
to the width of the road bed as well
as the crowning of the same, he
thinks we did the Iron Mountain
an injustice by laying the blame on
the road, when the road was not to
blame. Mr.. Williams says Mr., From
hoff secured a promise of the con-
tract to do the work, and he COM
menced it before there was any
contract or specifications signed,
or deeds obtained for the land over
which this road was to be built, and
did the work regardless of the lines
or levels by the roads civil engineer.
That the road as soon as they found
Mr.. Fronhoff at work, stopped him
and will have the street surveyed
and deeds procured, for the right
of way of the street, and APP
proaches to their track, and also
make a survey of the creek which
must be bridged, and mark out
work to have it Strengthened so
that it will not overflow at the
point of bridging or anywhere, to
endanger the levy thrown up. Mr.,
Williams tells us the road will be fully
6Ox30, and that our people will have
no cause to grumble. We accept
the statement and take off one of
the "gall"-ing remarks made
against this road.

its fulfllment will be realized is the
natural sequence.
The new home of DR.. C. C. Burke,
not yet completed, was totally de-
stroyed by fire Saturday morning
supposed to be the work of an incen-
diary. The citizens truly sympathlze
with the Doctor and his wife in this
misfortune.
Some of our Society Danes are
preparing to give elaborate func-

Christmas holidays. Receptions,
card parties, five o'clock teas and

welcomed with mirth making and

Der of our homes.
The Mariposa Club rooms have
undergone a great improvement
the past week. The walls have been
made clean and fresh with paint,
and the dOorways and windows have
received their dressing Of silk and
lace draperies. The boudoirs of the
ladies ami gentlemen have been
completely refurnished. Wherever
the eye rests it is greeted with
the pleasing change.

Spruce street, was greatly enjoyed

Most humbly are apologies made
to Prof. McCann and his superb
orchestra, for the non-mentioDing
of them in the write up of the Ma
riposa Mlnstrels in onr last issue.
Their assistance during the rehear-
sails was unlimited and patience ex-
haustless. The beauty of the chorus
and solos are altogether due to his
kindness and willingness to aid the
singers in the most appreciated
way. Our orchestra is something
of which the city should be proud,
and ever ready is your scribe to
sing their praise.
Aswas anticipated, the entertain
ment given by the Presbyterians to
their gifted young pastor was an
occasion of superlative pleasure.
The home of Capt. and Mrs. Eton
was thrown open to the friends of
Mr.. Thompson, who we're too glad
to gather in his honor, and each

1t Gives Us Pleasure to Publish the Fol-
lowing announcement.
All women suffering from any form OF
illness peculiar to their sex are requested
to communicate promptly with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters
are received, opened, read and answered
by women only.
A woman can freely talk of her private
illness to a woman: thus has been es-
tablished the eternal confidence between
Mrs. Pinkham and the women of Amerl-
ca.
This confidence has induced more than
100000 women to write Mrs. Plnkham
for advice during the last few months;
Think what volume of experience she
has to draw from. No physician living
ever treated SO many cases or femaie
ills. and from this vast experience surely
it is more than possible she has gained
the very knowledge that will help your
case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her a woman
full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. 1t her medl-
cine is not what you need, she will frank
~ tell you So and there are nine chances
out of ten that she will tell you exact
II what to do for relief. She asks moth
ing in return except your good Will, ana
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely. any ailing woman. rich or poor,
is very foolish if she does not take adj
vantage of this very generous offer OF
assistance.
Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equaled that attained
by Lydia e. Pinkham's Negeta bic COM

PIPE-FISH'S QUEER NEST.

the Male Fish's Body.

Deposits Her Eggs in IL Pouch ached to
the Male Fish's Body.
Did you ever see a dried or preserved
specimen of the creature which the fish
sharps call the ''pipefish?" 1t doesn't
look any more like fish than it does like
a cylinder of macaroni, and not nearly
as much. providing it has been preserved
in the dry state in place of being picked
in alcohol or some other preservation.
The female fish lays but few eggs each
season. and each of these is deposited in
a nest hidden more carefully than was
ever the nest of bird. On each side of
the males body there is curious little
pouch we'll hidden by the folds of the
skin and carefully covered over by a
membraneous flap. In this living nest
the female deposits her eggs, and there
they stay until they are Matched and
the young pipes" become large enough
to forage for themselves.
The sea horses, the bony caricature of
''man's best friend" belong to this same
family or group of deep-sea denizens.
and their nesting habits are somewhat
different In this case the male has but
a single incubating pouch, and it is stu
ated directly beneath the many-jointed
tail. Twenty-four hours after the little
sea horses (sea colts) emerge from the
leathery envelope of the egg they are
sufficiently grown to leave the nest and
strike out to do for themselves.-St.

The crew looked like butchers and the
Amrum like a slaughter house.
There was a panic, the first impress
sion being that the steamer had struck

When the crew had recovered them
selves somewhat, one of them called at

SHOE HEELS OF WOOD.
Compressed Pulp is Now Used Extensively
in the ShOemalSiDg Trade.


One of the latest features of wood
pulp industry is the manufacture in HAY
erhill. Mass, of shoe heels from that
material, white pine and other kinds be-
ing used for the purpose. In carrying
out this art the plan, as described, con-
sists in reducing the wood in the usual
way in digesters, after which the pulp
is put into tank and mixed with the
substances necessary for imparting to
heel stock the necessary requirements,
such as alcohol, litharge, tar, degras
and fish glue, thorough mixing of
these with pulp being followed by soak
ing the same day or two, so that the
fiber may be penetrated, when another
application of materials occurs. The OBJ
iect at this stage is to harden the pulp
somewhat. so that it can be rolled into
thick sheets and handled, shellac and
borax accomplishing this, the pulp thus
having the consistency of cement. At
this point slackened lime is put in, and,
as this hardens when dry, the pulp must
be rolled into sheets and cut into heels
before the hardening takes place. With
needed rapidity the pulp is now drawn
from the tank in sheets, it being just
thick enough, and there being specially
arranged rollers and adjustments at the
bottom of the tank for effecting this
A series of pressures through press roll
ers reduces the sheet to the right thick
ness, and the sheet is next placed quick
ly upon the bed of a cutter; the wheels
are now started, and in moment the

Miss Minnie Viola, pretty and viva
ciOus young American, who was for
merly an actress, but who has now
turend aeronaut, is in the city en- route
for the East, says the San Francisco
Call. She arrived on the last Austria
liam steamer, and, being Il globe-trot-
ting young woman in search of new
experience, she is on her way to attempt
in a barrel the dangerous passage OF the
falls and whirlpool of Niagara. And
IN order to add to her sensations she has
made arrangements to be dropped, bar
rel and all, into the river from a bal
loon. AS the attempt on the great cat
aract cannot, however, be made till the
ice melts in the spring, Miss Viola is
now resting after her long sea voyage
and will finish her journey to Niagara
by easy stages.
Il have been just crazy to go over the
falls" said Miss Viola last night, ever
since l heard four years ago that that
man Graham had done it. He was
knocked senseless, you know, and other
wise injured, and l almost hoped he
would die, SO that [ might be the first
to do it successfully. But I'll be the

will be suspended by guttapercha bands

will be weighted at one end that she
may make the journey in an upright po-
sition. Robert Earlston, the aeronart,
who safely landed the captive balloon
