Only persons under thirty years OF
age were ready to accept promptly Har-
vey's great discovery of the circulation
of the blood; and just as youth is most
apt to respond to the touch of genius,
so men of rare abilities seldom fail Of
the spirit Of perpetual youth. Keeping
young is simply keeping abreast with
the times we are in. At the recent an
niversary in New York City of the
founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayor
Hewitt related this incident: when
1 was student at Columbia, base ball
was our only game, and not such det-
riment to college as it is to-day. We
lost most of our balls by knocking them
over into yard of house in Barclay
street. One day when we were short
and could not get any base balls, was
appointed a committee of one to visit
the house and ask for some. A gen.
tleman appeared in answer to my ques-
tion, and producing a basket contain
ing twenty-five or thirty balls, asked if
they were ours. l said that supposed
they were. Every one of them has
broken a window in my house. he re-

Jennie slipped into the pantry one
morning when her mammals back was

a dish of fruit that was to be served
that day for dessert. When mamma
discovered what the little girl had done
she said: Suppose at the last great

There are some complaints by the
doubling Thomases that the election Of
Mckinley has not transported us back at
once to such prosperity as we had in
1891 and 1892, under the Mckinley law.
That is about as reasonable as to expect
roses to bloom out Of doors in December
because June Is coming. Because we
know June is coming, we may order rose
trees, but We don't expect the roses to
bloom until the December snow is gone.
While the Wilson. German bill is the
law Of the land we cannot expect any
great measure of prosperity. The most
that we can hope for is that we may be
spared from further disaster. Mer
chants have the same inducements to
buy abroad that they have had from the
beginning of the law. 1t is true that
many mills which were closed have
started up, and that many others which
would have shut down in case Of Nc
Kinley's defeat have continued. so
much substantial good has come from
the mere prospect of protection in the
near future. But these mills have gone
on with work in expectation of future
orders. when protection to American
industries will once more be establish
ed, rather than to meet present de.
mands. Confidence has been retored,
and further disaster prevented by the
assurance of the establishment of the
American system; but real or wide
spread prosperity cannot come until
protection to American industries is
reality of the present and not promise
Of the future.-Lincoln Journal.

state Legislature.

In the state senate to-day, says a
Pierre dispatch of the 18th, the resolu-
tion for an investigation for bribery
charges was killed and an equal suffrage
amendment carried by vote of 81 to 8.
Among the principal bills introduced
were those providing for state super
intendent Of printing; to prohibit the
demonetization of silver by contract; to
assess railroads the same as other pro-
perty and prohibiting alien ownership
of lands. In the house the committee
on state affairs recommended q commis-
sion to 60 over the records in the Taylor
case and to reappraise the property TAX
en-. The equal suffrage question was
called up on reconsideration and again
lost for lack of constitutional majority,
only receiving forty favorable votes.
Another Populist caucus was attempt
ed tonight without any settlement
Twelve ballots were taken with the
highest vote for Goodvkoontz at 26 and
lowest for Kyle Is. Votes were thrown
to Loucks from the Kyle forces in an
attempt to draw him bach into the race,
and the Plowman vote went as low as ,.
The next caucus was set for Thursday
night after row for harmony.
Throughout Sunday the Goodykoontz
men professed confidence that their
would show great gains to-
day and would be elected some time
this week. The ballot however showed
no material change. Loucks says there
will be none before next week. o. Ope-
dale, editor Of the great Scandinavian

request of Gov. Lee to advise in the

to favor some Democrat. Johnson has

A Rush Anticlpated,

The Deadwood Pioneer anticipates an
influx of people to that place in the
early spring exceeding in its magnitude
all past records, for which it strongly re-
commends that ample preparations be
made. 1t says:
"a question that should concern the
people of Deadwood vitality at the pres
ent, and one that must be met at no
distant time, is, how are we going to ac-
comodate the vast army If transients
that is headed in this direction from all
parts of the land? Our hotel and lodg
ing house facilities are already oyertax.
ed it has long been impossible to rent
a dwelling house in the city, and new
houses are engaged as soon as contem.
plated private rooms, furnished or un.
furnished. are out of the question, and
us soon as there is a prospect of one be-
ing vacated there are dozen applicants
for it; every private family in the city
that can and will put up with roomers
has all it can provide for. and yet guests
are almost daily compelled to seek lodg.
ing in Lead City. If the present signs
are borne out the influx will amount TO
a gorge of humanity when spring opens
and Deadw ood is going to be short on
the benefit unless some building is be-
gun without long order. The demand
for rentable houses is going to be clam
orous, and it will be profitable invest
ment for the owners of vacant building
space to begin the erection OF houses
that will answer the purpose. To ig-
more this behest will result in the up
building Of surrounding towns, where
ground is cheap and building sufficient
for temporary shelter convenient, to the
detriment of Deadwood. We do not
need any more restaurants and eating
houses, as We are already long in that
respect, but we must have more dwell
lings and buildings where comfortable
and convenient rooms may be obtained.
Every yard of building ground in our
residence portions should be utilized !;
tenantable flats should be put up, and
the capital expended will not only
create a good income, but will help
Deadwood's every interest,"

The trainers of the new tariff bill
should not lose sight Of the fact that the
republican platform promises full, and
not moderate protection to American
Industries. The best interests of the
people and the republican party alike
demand that this bill should be in har.
mony, and not in open violation with
the promise made by the party through
its national platform. No influence,
however powerful, should be permitted
to wheede the trainers of the bill into a
violation of the party's pledges. 1t was
full protection that was promised, it was
for that the people voted, and for
nothing short of that will the people be
satisfied.

The Deadwood Daily Journal is the
name of the new paper to be launched
by Dan Scott and son, Mark, at the
northern Hills metropolis on Tuesday
morning, March End. The paper will
advocate the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one,
give full associated press dispatches,
and put on all the metropolitan airs that
a we'll supplied exchequer renders pos
sible. While it's efforts to establish the
validity of the rapidly decaying theory
of free silver will doubtless prove futile,
the new paper, as dispenser Of the
news. bids fair to become valuable
acquisition to the local journalistic field,

Perfection In Calculating.

Housekeepers frequently wonder why
1t is that they cannot make biscuit and
cake that are light and palatable and
that taste as delicious as the biscuit and
cake made by their mothers and grand
mothers, the delightful memory Of which
even to this day creates sensation of
pleasure to the palate. The trouble
arises from the highly adulterated state
OF the materials they have to work with,
particularly the cream Of tartar soda
used to raise or leaven the food. Cream
OF tartar and soda that are now procur-
able for domestic purposes contain large
quantities of lime, earth. alum and other
adulterants, frequently from five to
twenty-five per cent, and consequently
vary SO much in strength that no person
can tell the axact quantity to use, or
properly combine them, to insure per-
feet results. From using too much or
too little, or because of the adulierants
in them. bitter, salt, yellow, OIL heavy
biscuits or cakes are frequently made.
These adulterants are also injurious to
health.
All this troubls may be avoided 10y
the use of the popular Royal Baking
Powder. Where this preparation is
employed in the place of cream Of tartar
and soda. its perfect leavening power
always insures light, faky, digestible
biscuit, cakes and pastry, that are per-
fectly wholesome and free from the
impurities invariably present when the
old raising preparations are employed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are in
formed by the most reliable scientists,
is perfectly pure, being made from high
ly refined ingredients, carefully tested.
and so exactly proportioned and com.
bined that it never fails to produce the
best and uniform results. An additional
advantage in its employment comes
from the fact that bread or other food
made with it may be eaten while hot
without fear Of indigestion or any un-
pleasant results, while being equally
sweet, moist, and grateful to the palate
when cold.

LATER DEVELOPMENTS

In the case appear in the Rapid City
Journal Of Wednesday last, which says:
"Col. j. II. Swan, of Sioux City, was in
the city yesterday looking after some
business matters connected with the
somewhat famous Hot Springs case, in
which the Evans hotel plays an import
ant part. The bone of contention now
b the possession Of the Evans hotel,
which is now under control of III. J.
Curtiss as receiver for two distinct sets
of creditors. Col. Swan claims that the
mortgages given on the property ex-
pressly stipulated that he should have
control of the property in case fore
closure proceedings were instituted. A
hearing Of a motion why Col. Swan, ct
al. should not give larger bonds will be
argued before Judge Gardner in cham
bers at Hot Springs Thursday, and upon
the decision of the same will the matter
of who shall have possession ofthe hotel
be settled. Business at the hotel has
been practically suspended for the time
being and will remain so until the mat
ter of who shall have possession has
been decided. The colonel left for Hot
Springs on last evenings train"

The bonds Of the receiver OF the Da-
kota Hot Springs company property
were approved by Judge Gardner the
forepart of the week, says the Star Of
the 18th inst, and he assumed the
duties of the Office on Wednesday. He
at once proceeded to take possession Of
the property. At the Evans Hotel he
found JAS. Dowd in charge during the
temporary absence Of II. ID. Clark, who
represents the Sioux City Safe Deposit
and Trust Co. Mr.. Curtiss informed
the employees that he was in charge, and
they were now in his employ as re-
ceiver. Mr.. McClung was placed in
charge by Mr.. Curtiss. Col. Evans
shortly appeared upon the scene, and
very naturally didn'i bit like the turn
affairs had taken and he would see
about it when Mr. Clark returned He
was pretty gruf and uncivil to the peo
pie who had thus wantonly, ruthlessly
and with malice aforethought entered
upon that domain, and the atmosphere
seemed omnous. Mr.. Clark arrived
after while-this being one of those
whiles that seem long-and he simply
declared that he still had possession as
agent for the Sioux City company, and
quietly and in a gentlemanly manner
sought to otficiate as before. Receiver
Gurtiss, with an assurance that was
graceful, repeated his claim for authori-
ty over the possessions and wanted none
but his own representative recognized
in the business that might incidently be
transacted All parties concerned
seemed to pass a comfortable night
lounging about the office eyeing each
other, and Thursday morning when the
Star man called at the hotel Mes,rs.
McClung and Clark sat side by side
behind the Office counter, each absorbed
in reading daily newspaper-appar
emily obiyious of the awful responsible
ty resting upon them. Thus time
dragged its monotonouHly slow length
along, and up to the time Of going to
press, Thursday afternoon, 20 new de
velopments have occurred.
1t is expected that mandatory in
structions may be received by the re-
ceiver at any moment from the Judge,
while the parties representing the other
side are looking for Col Swan Friday
morning. and say that until their attor-
neys arrive they cannot declare their
intentions. In the meantime the hotel
is running as smooth and nice as ever,
with Chef Nicholson at the life.giying
end Of the institution.
LATER-Since the above wns in type
II. ID. Clark, as agent for the Sioux City
Safe Deposit and Trust company, was
arrested and taken before Justice
Pomeroy who placed him under bonds
of $3.50 to appear before him Saturday
morning for hearing upon the charge of
contempt of court. Mr.. Clark immedi-
ately presented the proper legal security.
Since which time. up to the hour Of
going to press, Receiver Curtiss has
been in possession.
