THE RESULT OF A JOKE.
A Tramp's Discovery of One Of pakota's
Richest Gold Mines.

A TraInp's Discovery of One of pakota's
Richest Gold Mines.
Avery D. Hills, a Black Hills oper-
ator, tells how Ragged Top, the new
goldfield, was located, as follows:
"This history of the Ragged Top find
reads like a romance. The story they
tell is that a wandering hobo strolled up
into the Spearfish region, northwest of
Deadwood, just aimlessty tramping
about the country, with no more knowl-
edge of mining than you have. He final
ly dropped in with some fellows and
asked them where they supposed he
might be able to find some rich diggings.
There was considerable snow on the
ground, and one of the fellows pointed
haphaZard over to a stretch of the white
landscape and winked at his companions,
while he said to the hobo, Wouldn't
wonder if you'll find something rich
right there
"'Guess I'll take it, then, ! said he.
1.-The snow made it impossible for
him to know anything about what he
had selected, but to carry out the aw-
fully good joke on him the fellows in
the camp explained how he must proceed
to secure a legal location. And SO they
had him working in the snow to stake
out bis claim, and while he was about
it he staked out q dozen, Whatever in
spired him to SO much industry under
such circumstances nobody knows.
"Well, after awhile the snow melted
of, and he found himself in possession
of a great windrew of powders, about
as unlikely u prospect for a gold mine
as was ever seen. But in a blind sort of
way he went to whacking at the rocks
and took some of the chunks to the assay
office, and the stuff was declared to be
worth 5000 a ton. People couldn't be-
lieve it, but other assays demonstrated
that it was true, and the aimless hobo
was in a fair way to become u million
aire. News of his strike spread, and
there was a stampede for Ragged Top,
and now there are men scattered all
owe the region trying to secure loca-
tions of mines, and there is q town site
boom, and the railroads are extending
spurs into the country, all the result Of
that joke on the hobo.
'The find contradicts theories of geol-
ogists and mineralogists, but so much
the worse for the theories. This windrow
Of gold bearing powders lies right ON
top of a deposit Of limestone, and it is
declared to be the only known instance
of such juxtaposition. The rock is some
what refractory, but is Of such high
grade that it will pay TO transports i

or any of the processes for treating such
ore. "=-Sioux City Journal,

WHERE'S MOTHER ?o

Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say;
Trooping, c%rowding, big and small.
On the threshold, In the ball
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
"W here's mother?r
From The weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won
"Where's mother?"
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us hat he can say,
"W here's mother ?'
Mother with untiring hands
AT the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone

State Treasurer for year ending NO
yember Goth. 1895 and 1860 The Treas
urer closes his fiscal year December
31st. On December 31st, 1896, the penn
Tertiary had to its credit in the Treas
lury S5.S00.56, more than the amount
drawn from the appropriation of $780,
600 made for that year. Therefore the
lpenitentiary used $4,000 OF the tax
money of the people of the State during
the year 1895. and really not dollar OF
it. although $4,000 was appropriated, IN
the year 1896.
The people OF North Carolina are not
going TO be deceived by any Juggling
with figures. They do not require impos-
sibilities. They know that the manage
ment of the penitent:ary on self'sup-
porting basis requires the utmost ccono-
my as well as the greatest care. Some
years, with nothing but farming opera
tions. it may not pay, and there may be
no blame. But when it is run wide open
by incompetent men, made to support
political favorites and the families of
officers. and made a dumping ground for
political hacks, how can it be made to
pay?
In the year 1896 the penitentiary did
not cost the taxpayers a dollar.
What will it cost in 1897?
Under Democratic rule no scandal was
with it.

THE FINANCES OF TIE PENlTEN1lARY,

Che directors of the penitentiary are
In session in Raleigh this week. 1t is
understood that statement will be
presented by Governor Russell's expert
tending to show that the Democratic
management of the penitentiary was not
better than the present acknowledgement.
There has been no claim on the part
Of Democrats that they made the peni-
sentiary self-supporting when the con-
yict labor was given to complete the
railroads of the State. The claim made
was that it had been managed econom-
ically, safely, justly, and had come up to
. self-supporting basis when the new
management took charge. The facts es-
tablish this claim.
The Legislature of 1895 appropriated
for the use of the penitentiary for the
gears 1895 and 1896 in the aggregate
100000 (see chapters 275 and 408 Of the

FAIL WEATHER.

Why it is that the kidneys are so
often affected in the fall of the year?
This is a question that is often asked in
medical circles. The answer is this:
During the hot weather the skin,
through perspiraton, has thrown off
from the body great deal of excretory
matter. As cold weather comes on the
skin is less active because Of little or
no sweating, andrthe whole work Of ex-
creting this deleterious matter from
the blood is thrown upon the kidneys.
Often the kidneys fail to bear this in
creased strain hence kidney diseases.

Rod for the kidneys would save much
