Granite and Bimetallic dumps, and excel
lent results are reported. The boilers at
the Granite mine, after a suspension of
nearly six years. nave again been fired,
and the few residents who remained and
devoted five years of their lives to pa
tient endurance have just cause for re-
joicing. With the resumption Of the
mines the town of Granite is gradually re-
covering, and sOlne of its former activity
is returning. Several months will I'M
doubtedly pass before any great amount
of its former prosperity will be noticea-
bic to a marked degree, but the close of
the present year will find Granite one of
the liveliest mining camps in the state.

TRYING the Wrong Man.

An unusual verdict was rendered by
the jury in case tried in California
town 25 years ago. The question was as
to the ownership of several head of cat
tie which the defendant was accused of
having stolen from the plaintiff.
AS the case proceeded and different
witnesses gave their evidence it became
apparent to all listeners that the defend
ant was an innocent man. When it
came time for the jury to retire to con-
slider their verdict, they did so, but re-
turned to the courtroom in few mo-
ments.
The foreman looked the judge straight
in the eye and said with a drawl and
twang which betrayed his New England
origin:
"Jedge, we find the plaintiff guilty."
"The court is not trying the plaintiff,
but the defendant" said his honor has
tily, and, the matter being explained,
the foreman was at length induced to
express the jury's opinion that the de-
fendant was mot guilty."
"Hov somever, added the foreman
solemn'y, pears to me we're consider
ing the wrong man, your Lonorr'-
Youth 5 Companion.

Ages, Cleft for Me- was waited on the
midnight air. ''During the production
of the last-named hymn" says Mr..
Waggoner, "the light came into my
soul and 1 realized the consciousness
that my sins had been forgiven. 1t
was the voice of God speaking to me
through the machine. 1t was more
powerful than any sermon I have ever
heard. AS the last notes of the
BEAUTIFUL AND SACRED
music died away was shouting thanks
giving. The scales had fallen from my
eyes and I saw myself in all my wicked
ness. The years that had reviled the
religion of my Maker passed before my
eyes. 1 offered up thanks to God and
soon my soul was at rest. In the morn
ing I felt happy, much happier than l
had felt for years, and it was the proud
est day of my life when Limited with
the church and was enrolled with God s
chosen few. 1 intend to devote the rest
of my life to the cause of Christ.
Whatever I can do in my humble way
for Him will be done cheerfully, for
must devote the remainder of my life
to atoning for my former SINS"
That his conversion is thorough
and genuine is not doubted by any one

contemplated burning his valuable

declines to sell them.

Min eral Wool.

Mineral wool looks very much like
cotton batting with little bits or glass
scattered through it. 1t is made in this
way: There are two streams of Stag
(which is the scum from iron), one in
each side, and jet of steam in be-
tween, and as the two streams Of Stag
meet the steam the mineral wool is
formed.
The blast that is used to send the Stag
over the steam comes with such force
that it sends the wool formed from the
Stag flying to all parts of the building,
and some getting outside of the build
ing makes it look as though it were
covered with snow.
AS the wool flies around the little
particles of glass separate from it, and
as the Stag was redhot the pieces of
glass are on fire, and they look like lit
tie stars flying around.
1t is used for packing around registers
and bet tween walls 1t is a nonoonduotor
of heat. therefore it will not burn.

Tucked FIVE CENTURIES.
The Famous Old Town Clock IN
Rouen Has Kept Timc for
SO Years.

Rouen, one of the principal cities of
France, and the greatest seat of its cot
ton manufacture, possesses the oldest
public clock in the world. The great
Rouen clock has held Its place in that
city for $40 years and Is the pride of it's
citizens. Placed in $780, 1t has been
running without interruption from
that day to this, requiring nothing ex-
cept cleaning and Il few trif1ing repairs
OF its accessory parts. The great clock
had so accustomed the citizens to look
upon its eXactitude as a matter OF
course that when, in 1912, the breaking
of wire prevented its sounding five
o'clock one morning, the population
was in state CT CONSERVATION.
The magistrates summoned the Gus
Observation-Disclosures Pctit-and remon-
strated gravcly with him. Until 1712
the great clock had no pendulum. For
1928 years it had no other regulator than
"foliot,' an apparatus unknown to
the majority of modern clockmakcrs.
The pendulum in clockworll was intro
duced in 1859, but so we'll satisfied were
the people of Rouen with the time
keeping qualities of their famous old
clock that SO years were allowed to pass
before pendulum was substituted for
the "foliot." Equipped with this new
apparatus it has continued to this day
to strike the hours and chime the quar-
tiers.

The Agricultural Fair.

Turn backward oh Time, in your flight"
Such condition may be prayed for but
never can be realized. Those who love
TO class themselves as conservatives are
mostly found endeavoring to bring back
the past and reinstate its shriveled, lifeless
form for the young, vigorous, living pres
ent. They fail of course, but nevertheless
they keep on trying.
This trait of the conservatives has had
a recent exempl6caton in the attempt to
revive the Elkton Agricultural Fair.
After supreme effort which deserved
success, the managers found it impossible
to breathe the breath Of life into defunct
institution Many economic changes
have taken place since the agricultural
fair made its appearance. 1t was valuable
in its time; it did its work and passed
away. In failing to understand this fact,
our Elktou fair managers were brought to
grief They sought the opinion OF men
who had the opportunity OF forming
correct Judgment, and who did know,
anu lnG "CiG ioN'i etA
attempt to resuscitate the old fair of
decade and more ago, but after seeking
advice and finding it adverse to their
Wishes they went on with the attempt
which ended in failure, as was evident it
must to those who had kept up with
changing conditions among the farmers
Not only old methods of farming have
changed but the man has changed also
There are comparatively few farmers OF
the present day of the class of men who
used to represent the farmer, and the
change is moving irresistibly on. This
great economic change is now at its
height i'll the commercial and manufac-
turing industries. To find remedy for
its abuse is pulling the statesmen of the
hour. The occultation of the farmer is at
present taking place. When he again
appears in the economic armament he
will be in the procession, not as now,
alone, but united as many i'll one, grand
in the vernal equinox of humanity.
When the agricultural fair had finished
its course i'll this county the gambler put
OH its old clothes and introduced the
jockey and his horse. He bribed his way
with ilI-gotten gains to the heart of greed,
and for a while smothered the better
nature of large part of the better class
Of people. But the best element rallied
in its might and drove OFT the 'outlaw"
gamblers. This race-track element is
said to have boycotted the recent efforts
to resuscitate the ancient fair. May the
whole county be ever blessed by the boy
cotting of such an element.
The agricultural college and institute
are taking the place of the old fair in
preparing the farmer, fitting him for his
grander and higher sphere.

The Way the Political Wind in the
West is Blowing.

The union convention, comprising
Populists, Democrats, and free silver Re-
publicans, of South Dakota, have nom-
mated ticket in joint convention.
The Chicago and St. Louis platforms
were reafirmed, and the platform favored
Bryan's nomination in 1900; denounced
the present Supreme Court for its sub
serviency to corporations, and pledges
nominees to be free from such influence;
denounces the Philippine war as repu-
diation of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and an assault on liberty; demands
political independence for Cuba, and that
the Filipinos be assured they will be
assisted to erect a republic of their own,
to be governed by themselves, and de-
nounces formation of industrial trusts
This plank engendered much discussion,
and demands the enactment of a law
compelling the redemption and destruc-
ton of national bank notes, to be replaced
with government legal tender.

Hero Worship.

Last week was great week for Amer
lean hero worship. We have improved
on the old Roman style somewhat. When
the conquering heroes of old Rome had
overrun a country and made captives and
slaves of the people who escaped the
conqueror's sword, a great triumphal
march was planned for the returning
legions, and the streets of the city were
dressed in palms and gaudy colors, tri-
umphal arches were erected and march
ing columns, the gaily dressed war
chariots and grand cavalcade of Roman
horsemen were followed by the conquered
people in chains, the kings, queens and
great commanders of the conquered
nation were compelled to suffer the
humiliation and SCOTS of the shouting,
half crazed with joy, multitude that
thronged the streets and covered the
house roofs. This was hero worship of
twenty centuries ago. We have improved
somewhat in a humanitarian sense. Our
toned down humanity would not endure
the captives i'll chains and degradation OF
a proud but defeated foe. But the hero
worship remains about the same. We
single out a successful warrior whom for
tune has favored and go stark mad over
him. The American people have made
fools of themselves over Dewey. He did
the work assigned to him we'll, which ii
was his duty to do, and it is the duty of
every man and woman to do what is
assigned to them, and for which they
should receive due credit and acknowl-
edgment for faithful performance, but
exalting this or that successful warrior
into demigod smacks of the old, old
barbarian worship of the military hero,
which American citizens should be above
shopping TO.

ABOUT THE CATFISH.
lxs Not Yet Made Fully Into a Perfect
Fish-SOme of Its Queer
Ways.

The catfish belongs to an ancient
type not yet fully made into fish, and
hence those whose paired fins are all
properly fastened to the head, as his
ARE not, ehold him in well-merited scorn.
He has no scales anS no bright colors.
His fins are small, and his head and
mouth are large. Around his mouth
are eight long "smellers," feshy feel
ers, that he pushes out as he crawls
along the bottom in search of anything
that he may eat. As he may eat any
thing, he always finds it. His appetite
is as impartial as that of goat. Any
thing from deal lamprey or bunch
of sunfish eggs to a piece of tomato
can is grateful to him. In each of the
fins which represent his arms is long,
sharp bone, with a slimp surface and a
,serrated edge. These are fastened by
la ball and socket joint, and whenever
the fish is alarmed the bone is whirled
over and set in place, then it sticks out
istiffly on each side. There is another
such bone in the fin on the back, and
when all of these are set there is no
Popular Science Monthly.
When he takes the hook, which he
surely will do if there is any hook to
be taken, he will swallow it greedily.
AS he is drawn out of the water he
sets his three spines, and laughs to
himself as the boy pricks his fingers
trying to get the hook from his stom-
ZACH. This the boy is sure to do, and
because the boy of the Mississippi val
ley is always fishing for catfish is the
reason why his fingers are always sore.
The catfish is careless of the present
and sure of the future. After he is
strung on birch branch and dried in
the sun and sprinkled with dust and
has had his stomach dug out to recover
the hook, if he falls into the brook he
will swim away. He holds no malice,
and is ready to bite again at the first
thing in SIGHT.

object of the gold imports which are be-
ginning, and aid the Republican party
during McKinley's administration, and if
possible seat him for second term, or
some other equally serviceable man in
the presidential chair.
The conspirators know that the bus
mess classes will not be SO easily fright
ened, nor the laboring class so readily
misled by the fake cry of 5o-cent dollar
and business collapse as they were in
1896, and the property game is to be
worked for all that is in it in the presi-
dental campaign of 1900, and the present
gold shipment at loss to the shippers of
$4,000 on the million is the initial move
ment of the gold trust in the campaign Of
next year. Their contributions of mill
lions TO escape defeat in 1896 have all been
paid back to the trusts, banks and other
monopolies with compound interest and
more. To gull the people if possible in
1900 with artificial prosperity is the main
dependence of the conspirator, hence this
transfer ofgold.
