Never wash black hose in water in
which white clothes have been washed,
because the lint will stick to them and
soon make them look gray. The best
way TO wash black hose is to take them
by themselves and wash in ammonia
water with some good soap. Rinse in
very blue water and hang wrong side
out, in place sheltered from the Gun,
but where they will dry quickly. AL
ways shake and brush stockings wsil
before putting into the water and turn
all colors wrong side out. Then if they
have mind to streak the strealss will
be on the inside, where they will not
show.-Washington Star.

CompIexion and Mnrriage.

A statistician has discovered that the
number of dark-haired girls who marry
greatly exceed the fair ones, owing to
mans choice and not to the redundancy
of brunettes, by showing that major
ity of women who live aud die unmar-
ried have fair hair and blue eyes, says
Form. This is little surprising, for
blonds are so much more confiding and
inclined to sentiment tnan brunettes
that one would imagine they were more
attractive to men. Perhaps the ordi-
nary man fails to reach the ideal stand
ard of maiden fancy, and this may he

WOMAN BULL FIGHTER.
Beautiful Donna PIedros, spnIn's Fra
vOritc Mntndor.


Now that woman has usurped mans
place in many occupations, it is not at
all surprising that she has entered the
arena where bulls are killed--in civil
lied Spain. Spain can boast of thrce
women who are bull fghtersfNespise
their supposedly gentle SEX One Of
them is matador, who kills the animal
after 1t has been tormented and wound
ed and the other two are toreadors, who
worry and injure the beast.
All three are young and beautiful,
says the New York Journal, and all
three are the idols of the public. The
principal one is Donna Piedros, the
matador. She is %, remarkably hnnd-
some, with big black eyes and long
raven hair. She has been in the ring for
six years and during that time has
been in danger repeatedly.
When first she made known her inten-
ton of entering the arena Ehere was
howl of protest, but she persisted, and
when she made her first appearance she
was showered with flowers. Since then
she has been in the ring once every
month, and on several occasions has
been more or less injured.
Her part of the work consisted in CIV
ing the quietus to the bull after he had
been disabled by the toreadors. She did
this with a sharp, two-edged sword,
which she plunged into the heart or
neck of the beast. The animals have
bad habit of making last desperate
rally and of charging upon their tor
mentors. In this way Donna Piedros
has been face to face with horrible
death more than once.
Her two feminine competitors are the
sisters Pretel, Lola and Angelica, who,

Attitudes in south Dakota.

The Yankton Gazette has compiled
titude of the most important points of
this state. The altitude of Aberdeen
above the sea leyel is 300 feet: that of
Yankton 1906 feet. The highest point
in the state east of the Missouri is
Gettysburg, 2,Os2 feet. Nexd comes
Goodwin, 1000 feet. The lowest point
is McCook, 10y feet. Some other
prominent points are, Redield, 1921:
Huron, ,2S5; Mitchell, 1,312: Scotland,

Yankton, and At feet higher than Aber-
deem. From Columbia to Yankton the
James River has fall of only 100 feet
From Watertown to McCook the Sioux
River falls GAL feet. The Missouri
River enters the state at an elevation
of ,572 feet and leaves the state at ,076
a fall OF 496 feet in about 500 miles. AT
9he north line of the state the Missouri

At Pierre the Missouri is 200 feet

After FRAUDULENT Patent Attorneys

The following bill has been intlo-
duced into the United States Senate
by Senator Hansbrough of North Da-
kota:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled, That hereafter it shall be unlaw-
full for any person or persons, firm or
corporation, engaged in procuring and
prosecuting patent claims to offer or
award to their business correspondents
or cllcnts any gift. prize, or chance to
win one, 1ledal of honor, certificate of
stock, or any other article or thing of
real or supposed value, intrinsic or
otherwise: and any person or persons
violating the provisions of this Act
shall be deemed guilty OF lnisde
meanor, and on conviction thereof
shall for each offense be punished by
fine of not less than FIVE hundred
dollars and not more than, one thous-
and dollars, or by imprisonment at
hard labor not less than six mouths
nor more than one year.
Sec. >. That all applications for
patents which may hereafter be filed
by or through an attorney, or any per-
son representing himself as such, shall
be accompanied by an affidavit OF such
attorney or person that he has not yio-
lated the provisions Of the first section
of this Act, and that false swearing
thereto shall constitute perjury.
Sec. 8. That in all cases where th e
Government has heretofore or may
hereafter receive fees for or on account
of devices already patented in the
United States the amounts thereof
shall be promptly refunded to the re-
respective pavees.
Sec. 4. That the Commissioner of
Patents shall. as early as practicable.

the admission and disbarment of at

Office, said rules to be subject to the
approval of the Secretary of the In

a commission, will oppose allow

in the majority in the senate
their wishes will have to be met

proposition to have one-third of

discussed by the silver senators,
and their final agreement is likely
to be something on that order.

And Still the List Grows.
Aberdeen News.


The more the legislation enact
ed by the popullst aggregation of
last winter is looked into, the
worse it appears. 1t got scarcely
anything straight; and what it
did get straight was by accident,
spoiled by the incompetency Of
the clerks. AS a matter of fact,
the aggregation was not interest
ed in legislation, but in spoils
and the wreaking of revenge upon
the state and private individuals.
In addition to the probable repeal
of all state laws for the punish
ment of drunkenness mentioned
last evening leaying the matter
entirely to city ordinances, it will
be seen by reference to another
column Of this paper that thereis
a strong presumption that the
local option features of the liquor
law are imperative to the extent
that where municipality votes
against the granting of license,
saloons may be run regardless,
upon payment of only $500 for a
county license. Just what will
be left of the doings of the popu-
list Legislature when the lawyers
get through with them, or what
the Legislature did with what
previously existed, is extremely
problema teal.

in advertising the exposition.

the affair will not be a success,

not be very large. And then it

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 4, 1897.
The public sees very little of
the tariff fighting, as up to this
time every schedule has been
adopted just as was recommended
by the republican steering COM
rnittee. But a comparison of the
schedules which have been adopt
ed by the senate with the same
schedules in the amended bill
when it was reported to the senate
shows that there has been hard
fighting behind the scenes. All
of them are different, and nearer
what they were when the bill left
the house.
The public is getting just a
little bit tired of the exhibitions
in the house. It was all we'll
enough for the minority to regis

of Speaker; Reed in declining to
appoint the committees, but after
that action has been repeatedly
