Better Prices for Feeders Later.

Paris & Co., stock commission mer-
chants at Chicago, issued the following
bulletin on August IL: The week is
closing with very light receips of cattle,
and strong prices for all good beef steers,
heifers and cows, and also tor all
steers, that are suitable for corn or dis
tillery feeding. There are no western
cattle here today, and not a very large
run is expected for ext Monday; so
prospects look very fair.
The same may be said of sheep; as
the run is light today, and market for
mutton sheep and lambs Io@15c higher.
Good western sheep s4.25@4.75, which
is as high as any market we have had
this year. The sheep at s4.25 are COM
mon.
We advise shipment of fat cattle and
sheep. We believe feeding cattle and
f eeding sheep will sell better later in the
season, though good feeding steers are
Sc Hing we'll at present.

VILLAGE incorporation.

YIN MOnQay T.. l.. Drar1en, re-
presenting the Fort Wayne Elec-
trio Corporation of Chicago, was
in Dickinson for the purpose of
considering the feasibility of put
ting in an electric plant here. Mr..
Draffen did preliminary work
enough to satisfy himself that
such a plant could be successfully
operated in Dickinson. He fonnd
the business people of the town,
with two or three exceptions,
heartily in support of the project.
And he also found that there was
a strong sentiment in favor of a
water works system for the town.
But before anything can be done
in either direction the town will
have to be incorporated. Mr..
Draffen said that as soon as Dick
inson had taken the initiative
steps toward incorporation, he
would come here, if desired, with
a waterworks man, lay out the
town, and submit detailed propo-
sition. He thought that a first
class electric plant could be put
in for 5000 and that $4,000
would put in a fine waterworks
plant. The construction crews
couldwork together and the plants
could be operated jointly, thus
saving a considerable amount in
operating expenses. MI. Draffen's
company would be willing to put
in the works and operate them as
their own or to put them in at a
certain amount for the town.
Awaterworks system is needed
in Dickinson more than anything
else-for health, fire protection
and comfort-and electric lights
should come at the same time.
The question is, will Dickinson in
corporatel Incorporation, as a vii
lagge. is needed even if it is not
deemed advisable to secure the
above improvements at this time.
It is not necessary to argue why
incorporation is needed. Every
person who desires order and
good sanitary arrangements can
appreciate the urgent need. Chap.
ter 20 of the political code gives
a village incorporation law which
provides every safeguard for the
property owner. We advise every
voter in Dickinson to read and
become familiar with this law. II
the men who are interested in the
permanent welfare of Dickinson
will take hold of this organization
. government can be maintained
which will be good and self-sup
porting.
Take hold of the matter at ono,
and do not wait for some one els,
to move.

INSTRUCTIONS TO GEN. OTIS.
IrocInims Justice and Prosperity
The Presidents Proclamation.

Washington, Dec 23.-At the cabinet
meeting Secretary Hay was the only alb
sentee.
The cabinet discussed the instructions
to be sent to General Otis at Manila
which will be promulgated there as a
proclamation by the president. The in
structions are similar in import to those
sent to our officers at Santiago upon the
occupation of that city by the United
States troops.
They assure the FilipinOs that the
United States assume military control OF
the Philippines in spirit of peace and
friendship and that all civil rights and
privileges that they have hitherto enjoyed
will be continued and that it is the pur-
pose of this government to relieve III all
possible ways the unjust burdens they
have borne and ask for the cooperation
of all good citizens in maintaining order
to the end that peace and prosperity may
be restored.
SO far as is practicable all efficient civil
officers will be retained in the official po-
sitions they now occupy and fair and inn
partial Justice will be administered to all.
1t has been decided not to give out the
text of instructions to General Otis until
about the time of their arrival in Manila
which will be a month hence.
The cabinet also decided that existing
conditions justified further reduction Of
the military forces of the United States
and the secretary of war was instructed
to arrange for the immediate muster-out
of $4,000 volunteers.

Death Helmet Which May Take the

Whether or not the stroke of the gull
lotine causes instant death, it is more
than likely that the raising of the ques-
ton by DR.. Cinel will Danish the ma
chine which owes its origin to the reign
of terror.
For months past the French govern
ment has had in its hands a machine
superior to the guillotine in rapidity of
action, which causes no distortion of
visage and produces no scar.
The machine, which has been named
"L'Executioner'' by its inventor,
Francois Esclangon, well-known
scientist and the editor of the Partisan
lie Monde Scientifique, Is like the he'll
met worn by a fourteenth century cav
alier. From the top curves a long,
hollow bar of steel dividing near its
end into two portions, which approx
mate closely two holes in the helmet
near the upper portion.

larger and Heavier than Any Other

Ieviathan On wheels has just been
introduced on the system operated in
connection with the various works of
the Carnegie aeel Company. The loco
motive is the largest and heaviest in
the world, powerful enough, If 1t were
put to the tet, to haul more than the
entire cargo pf great freight steamer.
1t was builtby the Pittsburg Locomo-
tive Works on an order from the
Union RailrOad Company of Pittsburg.
1t is not only larger and heavier as a
whole than any locomotive previously
built, but exceeds all others in many
of it's essefEe' details. The weight on
the drivers il 20S, 900 pounds. The Mex
lean Central double boiler locomotives
have 100000 pounds on two separate
driving WHEEL bases, and the tank loco
motives of the st. Clair tunnel have
$4,000 pounds on ten driving wheels.
The twelve-wheel locomotives of the
Great Northern Railroad have total
of weight of 212, $50 opounds, of which
only $4,000 pounds are on the driving
wheels. The cylinders of the new loco
motive are .23x32 inches, as compared
with 21x34 inches for the Great North
ern, and it's total boiler-heating surface
IS 1890 square feet, as compared with
$3.50 on the Great Northern. 1t not only
has greater weight on its drivers, but
exceeds also in cylinder power and in
the steam-producin capacity of the
boiler the most powerful locomotives
ever constructed.
An indication Of the power of the To-

Of the work demanded of it. About
