BLADDER TROUBLES.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely. q receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from im-
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of otler diseases.

THE STOCNMAN'S FINAL RESUME.
Prominent North w estern Cattle

During the past two months THE

mates on stock losses for the winter,
all made in good faith and to close
the topic with presents a number of
opinions as expressed by large cat
tie owners.
Ex-Governor Baxter, President
and manager of the Western Union
Beef Company, the largest cattle
concern in Wyoming. owning in
Northern and Southwestern Wyom-
ing over 30 900 head of cattle, gave
the following information when ques-
toned about the late strom and the
general condition of the stock bust
ness in the state
''The winter in Wyoming, prior to
the recent storm has been in
the district south of the Platte
River one of the mildest ever known
There had been no storms to speak
of, and cattle were in fine condition.
North of the Platte River, in the
district where nearly all of the
large herds are ranged, and in the
western part of the state, the winter
had not been SO good. 1t had op ned

were fairly good months, but Febru-

explored, has no hall as large as the
one in the other, but it has number of
winding passages, widening out into
spacious apartments, and these are

with stalactites and stalagmites of all

tiful crystalline formations. Italso has
a stream of water flowing through it

which are scattered in all portions Of
the county and finds his loss to be
1000 and this loss, which is 6 per
cent, can be taken as the average in
Laramie county. The loss in Car
bon and Albany counties is believed
by experienced sheepmen to be some
what larges than this and may reach
10 per cent.
1t may be safely stated that the
loss of cattle in the entire storm
district will not exceed 8 or 10 per
cent, and the loss in sheep will be
about the same as in cattle. While
this loss is not as great as was fear
ed Immediately after the storm, yet
it amounts to considerable amount
when it is considered that each dead
COW or steer represented loss to
the owners of from $25 to $50 and
each dead sheep loss Of So to 81.
Ranchmen will make better prepar-
ations in the future for sheltering
stock and the tendency to abandon
breeding and turn the business into
ranging and fattening steers will be
increased. These reforms will serve
to make the stock business, despite
the storms and blizzards, one of the
safest and most profitable of any
legitimate business in the country.

Electricity to Preserve Eggs.


A New York electrician has discov.
cred method for preserving eggs in
an edible condition for number Of
years. The only successful method now
is to soak the eggs in lime water, which
closes up the pores of the shell and kills
any germs which may be attached to
them. Under the most Favorable con-
ditions, however, this method will not
preserve an egg for more than, three
months. The new method is much
more complicated. It is well known
that an eggshell is more or less por-
Gus, and that air passes into the egg
and hastens it's decay. In preserving
eggs by the new method the egg is
first placed In vacuum chamber w hich
draws the air from the interior. The
eggs are then painted with a compost
ton which renders them air-tight.
After this they will be placed in barrels
of water and subjected to an electric
current strong enough to destroy any
germ life which may be present.-N. y

A Destructive Blaze.

A Destructive Blaze.
A mass of blackened ruins and
walls which totter under the influ-
ence of every passing gust Of wind
of any conseque nee, is all that now
remains of Pennington County's
court house, all the result of dis
astrous fire which occurred about
o'clock last Sunday morning.
At the hour named smoke was dis
covered issuing from the building by
Janitor Hans Graves, who promptly
aroused Sheriff Ingersoll at the jail
and entered the court house in search
of the fire. On going up onto the
second floor the flames were dis
covered in the sheriff IS office in the
northwest corner of the structure
and had already eater their way to
the third floor and on through to the
roof The small hose usually en-
ployed to keep the court house
grounds in order was promptly APP
piled in the hope Of checking the
flames until the arrival Of the fire
departm An alarm was quickly
given and both hose companies and
the hook and ladder boys were on
hand promptly.
Then the fight began. But it was
an unequal one and in spite of the
valian efforts Of the three companies
it was plain to be seen that the
entire building was marked for des-
struction. Twenty minutes after
the first alarm was turned in the
flames burst through the roof, hav-
ngeaten away the third floor and
the timber work above. But Rapid
City's fire boys, under the efficient
management Of Chief Brennan, kept
up the fight and after an hour and
half of the hardest kind of work got
the flames under control and succeed
cd in checking them at the second
floor, although everything below was
flooded out by the water.
The origin of the fire will perhaps,
forever remain mystery. Various
theories are advanced but they are
all guess work.
All of the county records were
saved, but as court was in session
and had only adjourned for Sunday,
nearly everything in the line Of court
records were lost. However, the
commissioners were equal to the
emergency and bright and early
Monday morning met and assigned
court quar- ters in the second floor of

J justed.

A BRILLIANT SPECTACLE.
An Ignorance That Was Not Alto
Hcther Dlfssful.

oOluc weeks ago StOfy was clTcu-
lated in Harrisburg that there would
be visible in the western sky soon after
sunset brilliant light, which was
nothing less wonderful, the rulnor
told, than huge electric spark which
some scientists were sending up night
ly over Pittsburgh.
The story spread rapidly, and when
evening came the streets were filled
with credulous people who gazed with
amaZement at the brilliant orb which,
true to report, shone out bright and
clear. The newspapers of Harrisburg
commented on the occurrence the fol-
loving day and told the people tlrat the
story Of the electric light was fake,
and that the ball of fire was simply the
there at corresponding seasons for ages
and would doubtless continue to ilun-
mate that Part Cf the heavens until the
world should be no more.
The Harrisburg people perceived
that they had been .duped and were
ashamed at their display Of ignorance.
But a week later the same story was
spread in the town Of West Chester,
and the usually intelligent people of
that borough went through the same
performance of admirirg the wonder
full electric fight. The newspapers again
assumed the role of Instructors in as
tronomy, and Venus was for the sec
ond time given proper credit for the
evening illumination. But ignorance
will not down, and the other day the
good people of Lancaster, having
heard the story, went out after
sunset and behe!d with amazement the
glowing orb that had already brought
SO much fame to the scienti lists Of Pitts
burgh There are some doubling
lhomases, however, among the Lancas-
trians, and the story was not accepted
universally. a pilgrimage was made to
the observatory on the grounds of
Franklin and Marshall college, and
there glance through the telescope
d:ssipated at once all belief in the story
that, singularly enough, had found
lcdgment in the minds of the people in
three distinct localities
Where the display of ignorance may
break out next is problematical. Per
haps the delusion is at an end. But
all this should point the lesson that the
facts of the world in which we live
are not taught plainly and intelligently
enough in the schools, and the habit Of
observation is scarcely taught at all
If children in the schools were given
some rudimentary instruction in as
tronomy, or at least had their atten.
| tion drawn to the wonders of the heav
ens. there would be no such displays
of Ignorance as have broken out in this
state, and the people would have far
| better chance to enjoy the world, be.

many beauties.-Philadelphia Times.
