Jewell q Heavy Lesser.

Forum, Aug. 9: Editor Jewell came
in from Wahpeton this morning and is
awfulIy anxious to get to Bismarck. He
will be among the heaviest losers by the
fire. Everything around the Tribune was
destroyed except a few files. Mr.. Jewell
formerly carried 5000 on his building
and 5000 on contents, but is under the
impression that q part has lspsed. The
building cannot be replaced for the insur.
ance carried there, and the contents will
far exceed the amount for which he had
them insured. he had an immense stock
of material for state work, big library
and other valuable property. The mosI
serious loss to him will be the sheets fol
the 800 copies OF the public documents,
which were stored there for binding.
The whole matter will have to be reset,
just for the 800 copies, and the loss in that
item alone will be from $1,000 to 49. 900.
The Tribune had q fire In 1885 that cleaned
up everything. &

peace have been agreed upon. Spain

in the Ladrones. The city and harbor OF
Manila are to be occupied by the Ameri.

of the terms of peace. A commission
composed of five Spaniards and five
Americans will meet in Paris to settle
the stains of the Philippines and arrange
minor matters. Everybody ought to be
glad that peace has come, for In sunny

WALRus LEATHER.

Used for Making Wheels for Poliss.
inE-Other Polishing Leathers.
Wairus leather is used for making
buffer wheels, for polishing brass, steel
and silver. It has peculiar, coarse
grain that holds the emery or polishing
powder well. It takes about five years
to tan walrus hide. Some walrus
leather is made in this country, but the
bulk Of it is imported from England.
Leather made from the hide of cub
walrus would be about half an inch
thick. The hide of an old bull might be
two inches thick. The value Of the
leather depends upon its thickness.
Half-inch would sell for about so cents
a pound; one-and-a-haH-inch would be
worth $1.4O pound; and walrus leath-
er, from one-and-five-eighths to one
and three-quarters-inch thick, smooth
and well trimmed, would be worth two
dollars . pound, and q side Of such leath-
er would cost about $500. 4
Walrus wheels are made In va
riety of shapes, depending upon the
work on which they are used. They are
made with a fiat face, grooved, cone-
shaped. or of any shape that may be
desired, and by cementing layers Of
leather together wheels of any desired
thickness are made. Walfus leather ~
Also used for valve packings. 4
Bull necks are used, Also, for POLISH
ing purposes. Three-quarter-inch bull
nccks sell at about 50 cents pound.
Leather made from the hide Of the
ses lion Is used for polishing purposes.
This Il . smoother and softer leather,
used for softer metals. Sea lion leather
ofsans average thickness costs about so
ceptssa pound. Built-np wheels Of any
thielkness sares also made Of sea lion and
