Recent Inventions. {.

The "Vitascopc" is the latest invention
announced in science. This invention is
with kites by Professor Eddy, the well.
known meteorologist. By applying a
mirror to n kite he can enable person OF
the ground to see the country about him
just as if he stood on a high elevation.
When lying on the ground he can see as
well as if he were raised 300 feet above it
Another discovery which has lately beer
made is that of submarine camera, by
means of which the sea bottom can be
distinctly photographed. Several at.
tempts have been made to effect this before
but this is the first successful result. The
inventor is Capt. Borleun, of the Brazilian
Navy, who has already obtained some
magnificent pictures of the great depths
below. An electric lamp supplies the
light, and the camera is watcrtight.

Tom Russell Dead.

The passing away of Captain Thomas
II. Russell, at his home in Deadwood,
on Tuesday the 9th Of June, has caused
feeling of sadness to settle around the
hearts of more people in the Black Hills
country than the death of most any
other men would have caused. He lead
the first expedition of settlers which
came to the Hills. He stood at the
head ofthe Black Hills pioneers. He has
never ceased to work, from that day to
the present, for the upbuilding and pro-
gress Of the land of his adoption, the
Hills he loyed so well. His disease was
stomach trouble, of which he had been
ailing for many months He leaves a
wife and four grown up children and a
whole community of friends to mourn
his loss.
Mr. Russell was born in Pittsburg in
1885 and has closed a useful career al
the ripe age of "a years. Mr.. Russell
belonged to class whose ranks
are timing rapidly, but whose senti.
ments are imbodied in the following
lines. "Tis pleasure to grow old. when

A petition has been presented

A petition has been presented to our
county commissioners to change the
main county wagon road, from Pringle
to Hot Springs and other southern
points. 1t is pointed out that the old
road by the Holman cut off. has not been
used for public travel for nearly 10 years
and yet it stands today as the only legal
ly established county road. The public
road which is travelled to the exclusion
of all others is in very bad condition and
those living along the line who would
do work on it if it were applied on poll
tax will do nothing because it is not a
legally established county road. 1t
seems to us that this change should be
made, and we hear that there are some
other roads in the same condition. In our
organization as county, (as we look at
it, there is nothing which our commits
sioners have to do, which is quite SO
important as the establishment and
maintenance Of good county roads.
And yet, for some reason which we
never have been able TO understand, our
county roads have always been COM
paritively neglected, and received the
least attention Of all public matters
which come up for the consideration of
our county dads.

Death Of Nimrod Caple.

We copy the following obituary no.

from the Kewanna Herald, published in
Kewanna Ind. 1t will be read with
interest, and cannot fail to awaken the
keenest regret in the hearts of his neigh.

Hills where he was SO widely known
and so well respected.
"Nimrod Caple was born in Baltimore
county, Md, March 10th, 1926, and died
May 18th, 1899. While he was quite
young his parents moved to Richand

were spent. Being of a rowing dispos-

grew to manhood he tired ofso monoto.

he went to Jasper county, Iowa, where
he resided three years. At this time he

forthwith joined a wagon train and
made the long overland trip. He shar-
ed in the disappointment of hundreds of
others, and in year returned by way
of the isthmus, to his home and family
in Iowa. Here he spent the happiest
and most prosperous years of his life,
until 1870, when his wife died, and the
shock was so great that he was totally
unnerved. He wandered to Nebraska
and engaged in the cattle business.
From there he went to Louisiana,
where he conducted an orange ranch
in connection with a general store.
This venture not proving a sue
cess, he went to South Dakota, where
he spent the last Is years Of his life, in
the stock business in the Black Hills
country. He leaves five sons all grown

The stock market reports SHOW con-
stantly improved condition of the horse
market. To show the changes which
are constantly occurring in the channels
oftrade, the horse market is perhaps the
best illustration. In the year 1890, there
were imported into the United States
from northern Mexico, 3S,24S horses the
aggr> gate value Of which was 100000
At this time and for the last few years
our shipment of horses into Mexico from
the United States amounts to about
$l00,00000 annually. The number of
horses sold to foreign countries during
the year 1898 was 81 900 head, and were
distributed as follows: $4,000 were sent
to Great Britain, 5000 to Germany and
$500 to other European countries. We
are shipping horses to almost all the
world, FraLce alone excepted, she is our
strongest competitor. The largest num-
ber of horses owned in any one state, is
Texas, with 100000 head, while Illinois
comes next, and Iowa 3rd.

"AIl Americans Look Alike"

One of the speakers at the memorial
services at Las Vegas last Sunday gave
a striking illustration of the fact that
effect does not depend upon how a thing
is said, or to whom, but upon what is
said. The orator and the author who
know how to strike a responsive chord
that is common to a thousand human
beings have achieved the success of elo-
quence, even though composition lacks
literary grace. "All Americans look
alike to me!' is not an elegant phrase,
not a new expression; it merely gives
voice to the old doctrine that all earnest
men deserve equal credit.
Editor Young merely gave the doc
trine a new application, and without
resorting to the arts of %elocution, by the
declaration he raised the audience to 8
| pitch of enthusiasm that will never be
forgotten by those present. The speak
| er's assertion that no longer could he be
a mere partisan, and that all Aneri-
cans now look alike, touched a respon-
| sive chord in the people. Truth, if
| clearly stated, will always impress. AS
a rule, citizens weary of partisan ora
tors. And whenever a speaker expresses
this doctrine of equality IN a direct,
| forceful manner. he will be counted elo-
quent, though he say it in a common
| place manner, so it be only earnest and
| direct, as in the sentence, Cali Ameri-
cans look alike to me!'

A FRUIT BELT.


Irving W. Freeman, an experienced
orchardist and fruit buyer, with a par
ticularly large experience in the fruit
regions of the west, was IN arrival in
Carlsbad last week, and he likes the
place so well that he has decided to To-
cate. Mr.. Freeman has handled fruit
all over the country, and has visited all
the fruit-growing regions of New Mex
leo and Colorado. He comes last from
the Mesilla valley and Roswell, and
says that New Mexico is destined to be-
come the leading apple country of the
world, and that the Pecos valley leads
New Mexico. He has taken up a home
stead near Miller, in Chaves county,
but for the next few months will oper-
ate from Carlsbad as headquarters. He
spent some time last winter in and
about Roswell, and consequently he
knows whereof he speaks when he de-
clares that he would rather have 100
acres of apple trees anywhere in rthe
Pecos valley than a gold mine.
