CONSTABLE E. E. Heller Of Cavalier
brought in John Boland from that tow,
who had been sentenced by Justice
Pratt to serve 80 days in the county Jail
for stealing COW from Patrick Clary.
Boland said he had no money, had been
refused credit at the store and he wasn't
going to let his old mother starve. So
he just went out and took the COW from
the barn and drove her to Cavalier where
he sold her to N il Thomson for beef for

not quite capable. z

conducted tomorrow. At last reports it
was not definitely settled whether the

to his home in Ontario.
Mr.. Robt. Munchaasen formerly OF
Gretna who was taken across to Emer-
son some time since and sentenced to
days Imprisonment for stealing an over
coat has served his term and is back
again. Things seem to have taken a
different turn with Mr.. Munchaasen.
First he was accused of embezzlement
of note belonging to Mahon & Robin
SON OF Neche. On the preliminary ex-
animation no witnesses appeared against
him and It seems that Munchaasen when
ne left the country, handed the note owe,
to another party for collection on Mahon
q Robinson's account. Then charges
were made tnat he had stolen an over
coat The man from whom the coat was
obtained was not then to be found and
Alunchaasen p.eaded guilty to avoid a
long sentence. Since the trial the form
er owner Of the coat saw the conviction
Of Munchaasen in the papers, and comes
forward and says he gave the coat TO
Munchaasen. There is likely to be some
trouble in the near future tor Mr.. D.
Forester of Emerson, who has been the
complaining witness in these cases.

\ use has been found for the milk
from which cream has been removed.
1t is strained and mixed with some
ingredients, which are only known to
the inventor, an Englishman, and then
compressed. In three days the sub
stance is as hard as celluloid and may
be shaped in any way. For seven years
the inventor has been trying to produce
this material of uniform shade and
has only just succeeded. If coloring
matter is introduced before it is hard
ened any desired color may be obtained,
1t forms good substitute for ivory in
the manufacture of billiard balls. For
combs it is superior to celluloid, being
less brittle and liable TO chip. 1t has a
creamy, glossy surface. 1t is expected
that it will be especially used in the
manufacture of buttons.

keep his finger, moreover, on the pulse

know men, and the motives which actu-
ate them, in n way that is beyond the
reach, because of the sex difference, of
even the cleverest women. Woman

ton Of this in the mind of any true
man; at the same time, there cannot be

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
The Story Of His Interesting Life
in His Own Words.
How He Rose from Poverty and OBJ
security Until He Has Decomc the
Recognized Leader of His
Race in America.

Gradually the negroes of the south
are rising in the scale Of civilization.
Slowly but surely are the 7,OOO,OO0 col
ored people in the black belt becoming
educated and learning that thrift and
industry which makes them good citi-
zens. OF the men prominent as Lead
ers in this great movement, Booker L.
Washington is among the foremost.
Born 3S years ago as u slave in Il log
cabin near Hale's Ford, Va, he is to-
day perhaps the most widely known
colored man in the country. lie was
graduated at Hampton institute in 1875
and afterwards studied at Wayland
seminary, Washington. He then taught
for two years at Hampton and in 1881
established the Tuskegee normal and
industrial institute, of which he is
principal, with no other resources
than u $4,000 appropriation from the
state. Prof. Washington's own words
tell best of his struggles and ultimate
success:
"My earliest recollection is of
small one-room log hut on large
slave plantation in Virginia. After
the close of the war, while working
in the coal mines of West Virginia
for the support of my mother, l heard
in some accidental way of the Hamp-
ton institute. When L learned that
it was an institution where u black
boy could study, could have n chance
10 work for his board, and at the
same time be taught how TO work and
TO realize the dignity of labor, re-
solved to go there. Bidding my mother
good-by, 1 started out one morning to
find my way to Hampton, though 1 was
almost pcnniless and had no definite
idea where Hampton was. BY walking,
begging rides and paying for portion
of the journey on steam cars 1 finally
succeeded in reaching the city of Rich
mond, Va.
I was without money or friends. I
slept under sidewalk and by work.

ing on vessel next day earned money
to continue my way to the institute,
where l arrived with Il surplus of so
cents. At Hampton l found the oppor-
tunity-in the way of buildings, teach
crs and industries provided by the gen
crous-to get training in the classroom
and by practical touch with industrial
life, to learn thrift, economy and push
1 was surrounded by an atmosphere Of
business, Christian influence and a
spirit of self-help that seemed to have
awakened every faculty in me and
caused me for the first time to realize
what it meant to be Il man instead of a
piece of property.
while there I resolved that when
had finished the course of training
L would so into the far south, into the
Black belt of the south, and give my
life to providing the same kind of
opportunity for self-reliance and self
awakening that l had found provided
for me at Hampton. My work begun
at Tuskegee, Ala, in 1881 in a small
shanty and church, with one teacher
and 50 students, without dollars
worth of property. The spirit of
work and Of industrial thrift, with
aid from the state and generosity
from the north, has enabled us 10 de-
Nelop an institution of 500 students
from 10 states, with 70 instructors, 400
acres of land and 30 buildings, includ-
ing large and small, in all property
valued at $2so,oOo. Twenty-Five in
dustries have been organized and the
whole work is carried on at an an
nual cost Of about $4,000 in cash;
two-ffths of the annual expense so
far has gone into permanent plant"

Underground Walnut Log.

NJ. s. Taylor, of Thornton, Whitman
county, Ore, tells of peculiar thing
that came to light in his vicinity a short
time ago. A neighbor was having a

black walnut log about 20 inches in
diameter was struck, The log was as
sound as the day it was placed there.

them is the symmetry of their struc-
ture, which is absolutely mathematical
As weathered out from the cliffs they
are always perpendicular.
What are they? AS to this there are
several theories. Some think they are
fossil gopher notes.-the underground
homes of rodents related TO modern
gophers, which lived perhaps a couple
of million years ago. Another theory
is that geysers made them, another that
lightning caused them, but Prof. Bar
bour is certain that they are fossil
plants, and that they grew, great for
ests of them, in water ages and ages
ago.

,ecnIinr Invention WHICH, Acts AS a

Peculiar invention WEtcn Acts ns u
Microscope ia Detecting Smells.
Among the latest inventions, says the
st. Louis Republic, is machine which
will take liquid that has heretofore
been regarded as odorless and distill
the most delicate perfume. A drop of
perfumery or essence placed on the re-
ceiver will, on applying the nostril to
the nosepiece or opening, produce an
overpowering stencil that would in a
very short time if continued cause
symptoms of suffocation. The instru-
lnent can be utilized in nearly every
walk cf life. To the grocer it will prove
invaluable in detecting adultcrations of
goods. The chemist, druggist and ply
sician, Of course, can find ready use
for it in their business, while it has
been suggested that bank paper can be
tinctured with special odor imper-
ccptible to the ordinary sense of smell,
but which could readily be detected by
the scentograph, thus greatly lessening
the liability of banks to fraudulent OPP
orators. 1t is also claimed for the ma
chine that it will become popular in
thc homes of the wealthy, for by the aid
of its mechanism the atmosphere of n
large mansion can be kept constantly
permeatcd with most delicate and
choice perfume at Il nominal expense.
For hospital and sick rooms it's service
will prove inestimable. The machine
itself is n small affair. about 12 inches
square and eight inches high. 1t is
made of wood and the oDeninp where
the nostrils are applied is nickel-plated.

In certain spheres woman is preeini-

woman makes it, for the reason that he
lacks the homemalting instinct He
has not the delicacy of mind. nor the

says Russell Sage, the famous New
York fiuancier, in Demorest's Monthly
Magazine, as women are preeminent in
certain spheres, so are men preemi-
nent in others. l think, for example,
that it will be long time before there
are women financiers Of wide influence
and power. The reason is that the
financier deals exclusively with mas
culne forces. He must know men and
must handle them. In the keen rivalry

The U. S. local inspectors have put
into operation new marine law that
is stringent upon crews and makes it a
punsha BILE offense to drink while on
duty. The local inspectors can do
nothing else but revoke the license or
suspend the person who is reported to
them for any violation of this law. 1t
means that steam vessels can not be
navigated by any but temperate crews.
1t also means that the bar of steam
boats is doomed and will soon be an
other river feature of bygone days

was about to be dispossessed of her
lodgings at Atlanta, Ga, applied for
aid to the sergeant at the police sta
ton and told him that she had not seen
her Sons for years, and that since her
husband had died life had been hard for

and asked for the sergeant Before
stating his errand he looked at the

of them in that state, where they are
popUlarly known devil il'scorkscrews."
In Sioux county they may be seen pro-
