their man and they set the day Inc
day before the contest the former uh-
known to the others, filed large glass
jar with water and put some mihhoWs
in it. putting something over II to let
the water in and not let the hsf out.
He then picked out spot for his hsh-

with. a cork float. The next afternoon,
both went out and anchored near to-
gether. The first man pulled in $50 in
a short time while the other had only

the wager. The sight of minnows that
cannot be reached will always start up
an appetite in fish. that eat small fish.

The Famous Asphalt Lake.

Asphalt is being dug out of the fa-
nous tar lake of Trinidad, the most
notable existing source Of the material
in the world. at the rate of $4,000 tons
per annum. There are still 4,5O0,000
tons in sight, but as this rate the sup
ply could not last long We're it not that
the lake bitumen referred to is receiv-
ing 81 constant accretion from the bow
els of the earth. This accreton is
reckoned as amounting to about 10000
tons yearly and would suffice to restore
the lake to it's original condition if it
We're allowed to, remain undisturbed
for Il few years.
This wonderful lake of pitch has an
area Of III acres. and recent sonnd-
ings made III the middle of II have
shown the depth to hc 135 feet in that
part. Near the center it is semiliquid
and bubbling. but elsewhere it has so
hard a surface thai Il n,:.n on horse
back can ride over it without danger of
breaking through the crust Scattered
over its surface are q number OF small
the earth. SO to speak. bui are compos-
ed merely of accumulations OF soil,
though trees of considerable size grow
on some of them. These islands are
not stationary. but are carried slowly
from place TO place by the movements
of the lake. Now and then one of them
is entirely engulfed.-New York Post.

To Keep Butter Sweet,

One can keep butter sweet long
time, even in a hot room where it is
half melted. by keeping it covered with
brine made by putting into boiling wa
ter all the salt it will take up. Then
let it cool and pour over the butter.
Meat may be preserved in the same
way. To be sure. it will become rather
salt. but when you wish to use it take
1t out of the brine the night before and
lay 1t across two spoons or sticks to lift
1t from the bottom of the dish in which
you wish to soak it and then cover 1t
with fresh water. The salt will then
settle out Of the meat. and it will fresh.
en- nicely. You throw meat or fish into
the bottom of vessel and cover II
with water. and it will freshen very lit.
tie. for the salt does not fall out. but
only to the lower side.

The following special has been sent
out from Pierre.
The meeting of the National Live
Stock association at Salt Lake in Jan
uary, will see one OF. the greatest fights
in the history OF the organization if
the predictions of cattlemen come
true. The association is decided on IL
bill now before congress to lease all
the arid government pastures .of the
west. The large cattlei interests
almost without exception and some
capitalists in the east who are planning
to buy up large herds and fence vast
tracts of land if the bill can be passed,
are favoring the measure, while the
little cattlemen are against it toa man.
At the Denver meeting two years ago.
the South Dokota delegation with the
exception of Frank Stewart of Buffalo
Gap, opposed resolution favorihg the
bill but at the Texas meeting last
winter Stewart was the only one pre-
sent, and he voted Cor the leasing bill !.
The fight is on ar''- Pr. Noah
Newbanks, The Fort
Pierre Stock associations executive
committee will call a meeting of his
association in few days to consid er
sending lobby to Salt Lake to oppose
the proposition to lease the govern
ment lands. Here is where the strug-
gle between the large and small herd s.
men really hinges. If the bill can be
passed through congress the large
herders will control the field. If it
fails they mast ultimately quit bust
ness. for the range is filling up with
small herders who take advantage of
the homestead law: and locate along
the streams, cutting;up the range and
making the running of large bands of
cattle impracticable.

THE CONTEST REOPENED
The Jensen Petty Election Contest Will

18TH, Upon Its Merits.

he Heard ,tt DeatlwOO'l january
1.th. Upon Its Merits.
Judge Moore has decided to reopen
the Jensen-Petty contest case. Con-
cerning the matter the Deadwood Pio-
neer-Times says:
"rhe validity of the registration law
of 1869 is to be called into question in
the contest over the office of sheriff in
Fall River county. The hearing of the
evidence in the contest has accordingly
been postponed, and Judge Moore has
set January II as the day to hear the
argument of attorneys on the law. At
that time he will set the day for hear
ing the evidence in the case.
"Jensen contends that the registra-
-tion law was not observed in all the
voting precincts of the county, and it
is on this that he bases his contest.
Petty's attorneys will contend that the
registration act of 1899 is not in force;
that it is limited by it's own terms to
the year 1899, in that it declares that
it shall be in force for the year 1899
and does not declare itself in force any
other years; that it is unconstitu-
tional in that it provides that the regu-
lar assessors shall take the registration
in connection with making the regular
assessment. when in fact the law did
not go into effect until July, after the
assessors had done their work. MIR.
Kellar said last night: This law. if
enforced. would be depriving voter
of his privilege of voting simply by its
own construction, when he would be
perfectly eligible in every other way,
and we shall argue that it is unconsti-
tutional to deprive IL man of his vote
in that way
"rhe lawyers of Lawrence county
were practically agreed before election
that the registration law passed by the
last legislature was not in force, and
the registration in tt.is county was un-
der the old law, which required regis
tration only, in TOWNS and cities OF one
thousand populat tion or more. In Fall
River county thb registration law OF
1889 was followeh in some of the pre-
cincts, and in /others it was not. In
some countie it was followed in all the
voting aresihcts.'
