POLISHING PETRlrIED WOOD.
Factory in the West NOW Engaged on
Large Contract.

The polishing works of this city is
now engaged on the stupendous job of
getting out $1,0000G0 worth of pol
ished chalcedony, or petrified wood, to
be taken to the Paris exposition. This
petrtled wood is hauled from its ma
tive heath in Arizona. distance of
slXty-tive miles to railroad, and then
shipped to this city to be cut and
polished this being the only place in
the world having facilities for treat
ing the petrification, which is seven
tenths as hard as diamond. 1t is
shipped here in great logs and stumps,
weighing many tons each, just as they
have laid for many ages during the
process required by nature to turn the
wood into beautiful and variegated
colors Of stone. The process of saw
ing the stone UP in shape for polishing
is enost tedious, the huge machinery
used for the purpose being able to
saw only from an inch 10 three inches
day into 1t. After being cut and
polished the stone is worked UP into
every conceivable shape, from cuff
buttons to tops for center tables and
great columns which cost small
fortune. All kinds of jewelry is made
from il, as we'll as trinkets and hand
some articles suitable for souvenirs.
One of the chief attractions at the
worlds fair was the exhibit of chalce-
dony which had been polished and
prepared in this city. 1t is stated that
during the fair sales of this stuff were
more than $4,000 month.
The great exhibit which is to be
made in Paris will be wonderful ad-
yertisement for Sioux Falls, for the
reason that nowhere else on earth is
there machinery mammoth yet dell
cate enough to saw, polish and put in
to shape the variety of articles that
will be on exhibition.-Sioux Falls

EDUCATIONAL REVIVAL.

Never before has the interest in pop
ular education and the demand for I'm
proved educational methods been so
general in Cey gia. The people are
waking uq to the tremendous import
ance OF this subject. They realize
that it inv olives the progress, welfare
and safety of the state. It is probable
that the increased returns of property
which will be insured by the tax re-
form bill now in preparation will en-
abb the state to ra1Tce the tax rate

absurdly happy at the bare thought OF
It."
Il think our conference has lasted
long enough" she said, rising. You
think, then, that | should accept Lady
Marion's invitation?"
Eyes, it will give us more opportuni-
ties OF meeting, and will bring about
between Lady Marion and yourself a
great intimacy" he said.
Heaven send 1t may end WELL" she
said, half sadly.
THANK Heaven for it's kindness,
he replied, and then they left the quiet
conservatory, where the soft ripple OF
the scented fountain made sweetest
music.
Lord Chandos quilted her, much to
his regret, and Leone sought out
Madame de Chandalle
Il should like to ask you, madame,
for one more introduction, she said.
II should much like to know the
Countess of Lanswell."
Nothing could exceed madame's de-
light and courtesy. She took Leone to
the blue saloon, as 1t was called, where
the Countess OF Lanswell sat In state
She looked up in gratiied surprise as
the name OF the great singer was pro"
nounecd. II Leone felt any nervous
ness she did not show 1t; there must
be no hesitation or all would be lost.
She raised her eyes bravely TO the
handsome, naughty face OF the woman
who had spurned her. In one moment
during which their eyes met, Leone'a
heart almost stood still, the next Vt
beat freely, for not even the faintest
CLEAN OF recognition came into my
lady's eyes.
But when they had been talking for
some minutes, and the countess had
oxcelled herself In the grace of her
compliments, she gazed with keen,
bright eyes In that beautiful face.
"Do you know, Madame Vanira, that
the first time | saw you there was
something quite familiar In your face.
There was something startling in
the crimson blush that mounts even to
the locks OF her dark hair.
is It so?" she asked.
And the countess did not relax the
questioning gaze.
Il think now" she added, that
am wrong. | cannot think of any one
who Is like you. | shall be glad to see
you at Dunmore House, Madame
Nanira. We have dlnner-party next
week, and | hope you will be inclined
to favor us. DO you know Lady Chan
dos?"
YES" was the half sad reply, II
was introduced this evening""
They talked on different subjects,
The countess was most charming to
the gifted singer. and Leone could not
but think of tho last talk
that she had with Lady Lans-
we'll Ono thing was quite certain.
The countess lid not recognize her
and her visits to Dunmore House
would BIO quite safe.
She talked to Lady Lanswcll for
some time, and went away that night
quite pleased with the new prospects
opening before her,

the mosquito can readily cross. But
there are mosquitoes and mosquitoes.
While residing in India Major Ross
made discoveries some years ago
which led to the belief that some
species of mosquito communicate the
so-called malarial, or bad air." fevers,
while other species do not, and soon
after DR.. Grassi, in Italy. found three
species of fever-producing mosquito
whose bite gave the disease to a man
who kindly offered himself for expert
ment. But the malarial fevers of Italy
are mild compared with the deadly
disease Of the same name in West
Africa, and it is the cause of the lat
ter that Major Ross is now supposed
to have discovered
The old idea that ague is due to a
poison in the air derived from the soil
OF marshy areas is still entertained
in some quarters, but the view now
taken by investigators is that the
disease is due to the presence in the
blood OF a minute organism put there
by the proboscis of the MOSQUITO. This
organism has, it is supposed many
species each with certain period of
growth. A person whose blood is in
| fected with but one species will have
his fever, for example, every third
day; If he has another species, his
fever will come every fourth day, and
so on, the successive generations Of
microbes determining the interval be-
tween "the shakes" If one is so I'M
lucky as to harbor several different
species, the symptoms will be con-
fused and the effects will be chronic.
Quinine, it is found, kills the microbes,
and upon this fact it's virtue depends.
But how does the so-called malarial
m1crobe get into the patients blood?
The old-fashioned theory was that it
was taken into the system with the
air one breathed. A later theory SUBJ
stituted water for air as the vehicle
and pure water was believed to give
immunity. Now it is held that the
mosquito carries the disease germs in
his own body and implants them in
the unfortunate whom he bites Not
all species of mosquito are afflicted
with the parasites, but only certain
species, and each has it's own variety
of parasite, some being worse than
others as respects their effect on the
human organism.
There is, it seems, such a thing as
being proof against the "malarial"
poison. 1t is at it's worst in west
Africa and very bad in the Congo
country and central Africa, yet even
in these countries the negroes seem to
be immune. Either the MOSQUITO
does not bite them or their blood is
proof against the poison he CONVEYS,
Europeans in west Africa, if they do
not perish suddenly, succumb after a
few years to the local conditions. On
the mosquito theory a complete
remedy is perhaps not to be had, since
it is impossible to exterm1nate all the
mosquitoes. Coal oil spread thinly
on the pools where they breed drives
them elsewhere and coal-tar oil on the
face averts their bites, but these ex-
pedients promise only partial relief.
Even if prophylactic more agreeable
than coal oil is discovered, the ma
larial areas of the tropics are too ex-
tensive to be treated adequately.

A BAD MOSQUITO.
The Malaria Bearing Fellow Found at
Last.

Major Ross of the Liverpool School
Of Tropical Medicine, reports from
Sierra Leone that he has discovered
THE malaria-bearin mosquito What
he means is that he has discovered at
least one of the species that COM
municates the severe and fatal fever
of the tropics. The connection of fevers
or fever and ague" was suggested
some years ago by American inyesti-
gators, but the connection was dis
puted by italian physicians who, of
all Europeans. had the best oppor-
tunities of observing the disease.
They showed that mosquitoes exist in
many districts where there are no
fevers and that ague-stricken areas are

she done so, she would have only
initiated our own example when
we sold, in 1S7o-7I, hundreds OF
thousands of muskets, cannons and
ammunition to the French. With
out that sale the French would
have been unable, after Metz and
Sedan, to continue that bloody
war in the rear of Paris which cost
thousands OF lives 10 the Germans.
Germany did not act as meanly
towards us in the present war as
we did towards her in the war OF

Solon to the contrary notwith-

Belmont a happy man, says the
New York W0ua. We mu st
congratulate him upon the fact
that a social incident which seemed
to threaten him with political ruin,
an incideat Of a kind that has
ruined politically far stronger men,
has passed away like a summer

Perhaps we may also call Mr..

Ordinarily one speech might be
enough, but Tor the torture in

measure it3 Mr.. Bryan, if he sur
wives, must come out with a dread
fully muddled mind. Then Mr..
Belmont will have him at his
mercy, This is a case of "knock-
out drops" on a grand scale.
Our own opinion of 10 to is

But we must say that, regardless
Of Mr.. Bryan's views upon silver,
we admire the great moral courage
he showed in taking an a titude OF
defiance toward Mr.. Croker and
Mr.. Croker's club. This puts him
upon high ground. For a mere
politician would find some hole to
crawl through rather than stand

cratic Convention.
Daring Of that quality must have
devotion to principle behind it.
We believe that this attitude will
help Mr., BRYAN not only with
Democrats in the East generally
but with Democrats in the city.
Neither Croker nor his club cares
for real Democracy. Thev are the

tion of the Tammany boss may, as
in the case Of Tilden and Cleve-
land, endear Mr.. Bryan to the peo

Bowditch, according to the account
published in the EVeHsRg Pest, pre-
sented the result of some inquiries
by the so-called Committee oi
Fifty upon the matter OF temper
ance in using Intoxicating liquor.
The committee sent inquiries to
leading men all over the country
asking whether they were total
abstainers or took alcoholic drink
occasionally or regularly. A
pledge was given that no names
would be published. Less than
one. fifth were total abstainers.
Very nearly two-thirds Of the
whole eight hundred and ninety
two who replied wrote tn at they
were occasional drinkers, and Just
about one.sixth wrote that they
were regular moderate drinkers.
Those men included judges of the
supreme court and prominent
men in all kinds Of professions.
OF the whole number. one hundred
and fiity-two were clergymen, and
this proportion affected the statis-
tical result much, for over hall Of
these men were total abstainers,
and only two per cent. wrote that
they were regular drinkers. Ifthe
clergymen were omitted, the per-
centage Of our leading men who
may be called moderate drinkers,
in the sense used by the writer in
the Quarterly T0NyRaL of IHeby7ety,
above referred to. would be over
sixteen. Therefore one Of every
six or seven OF the leading men in
our country is, according to that |
writer, of nsound mind and body
Which is either bad for the coun-
try or bad for the incorporate tenn
perance writer's argument.

The Only Cure for the sweat Shop
Evil


Evil.
One thousand men and two
thousand women engaged in the
manufacture OF trousers in Phila-
delphia laid down their work on
Saturday and went out on a strike.
The conditions uncer which they
had been working were apparently
even more atrocious than is usual
among this class OF labor. In the
first place, they were all employed
on Piecework, but the rate Of wage
was so low that even feverish
activity during fifteen and sixteen
hours a day hardly produced
enough to keep the families of the
workers alive on the simplest fare.
The women, by working day in
and out as long as they could keep
awake, did not earn over three
dollars a week.
The strike was ordered as the
last desperate resort OF a starving
people. They had arrived at the
point when any change in their
condition could not be change
for the worse.
State Boards OF Labor and Fac
tory Inspectors in the various
States OF the Union seem to be
unable to cope with the sweat shop
problem. 1t is in Chicago as it is
in Philadelphia and New York.
These officials are chosen with an
eye single to political purposes,
and even when honestly trying to
do their duty are usually not suf-
ficiently familiar with the condi-
tions to do any practical good.
There is only one cure Tor the
sweat shop evil. and that is organ
ization. When every clothing
maker belongs to a union, and
when every member Of every trades
union will look for the union label
before buying a pair Of trousers,
then the sweat shop will have
ceased to exist.
Washington sentinel., 1899-04-01

argument that the remedy has been
too long delayed. Many OF the
States OF the Union have, through
their Legislatures, called upon
lgress to submit to the people
le States an amendment to the
-lstitution, giving to them the
right to elect their Senators by
direct vote. In California, more
than nine-tenths OF the voters Of
the State, at recent popular cleo
ton. voted in favor Of change; and
within the past few weeks the
Legislatures of North Carolina and
Missouri unanimously passed res
olutions instructing their Senators
to support resolution to so amend
the Constitution.
In South Carolina, Georgia,
Illinois, and other States, the peo-
pie desPairing of any action by the
Senate itself, have discovered a
remedy for the evil, and have not
hesitated to apply it. They have
adopted Senatorial primary sys-
TENS. by means OF which they vir-
tually elect their Senators. In no
single instance where such prima
ries have been resorted to has the
result been disappointing to them.
OF course, the trusts, the rings,
and the political bosses have op-
posed; but whenever and wher-
ever the people have once taken
this power into their own hands
they never have been kno Vn to re-
linquish il.
In the Fiftv-second Congress,
the Hon. William J. Bryan, then a
Representative from the State OF |
Nebraska, introduced and ear
nestIy supported a resolution to
accomplish this great reform; and,
within the past few weeks, the
National Chairman of he Demo.
cratic party, himself a United
States Senator, has said: "I am in |
favor Of the election Of Senators by |
the direct vote Of the people.
have changed my views upon this
subject in the last year or two. The |
whole people cannot be debauched |
by money or otherwise; it is safest
to put all the power we can in their
hands"
The doom OF this relic OF a dark
past, of the age when the people
were not trusted with the custody |
Of their own rights and liberties, |
is already written. Out OF this
movement is destined to come the
restoration to the people, where it
riShttully belongs, of the right to |
elect their Senators as they do |
their Representatives and Gov
ernors.
