The teacher who influenced Strauss most was one Joseph Dreshler, the choirmaster of St. Stevens church in Vienna, who tried to get the waltzes out of the boys head and put in their place anthems and chorals. In this undertaking he met with indifferent success, for the worshippers in one of the Vienna churches were startled on Sunday morning when there poured forth from the organ, filling the gloomy building by it's enchanting notes, waltz insiead of the solemn Gregorian chant to which they were accustomed. 1t was Johann Strauss.

The story goes that the Sidar pos Sesses a charm which comes from In. dia. and which brings him luck wher pyer he tours. That he is one of the fdckiest men in Europe goes without saying Lord Kitchener received a telegram of congratulation from the queen on the fact that Mahdism has now been given it's final blow.

NEW SOURCE OF ouTTAPERcHA
German Says the Trees That Producr It VIII Grow iu she Philippines.


 Tn a monograph, just published in Germany. it is shown that the Philip pines are among the few places on earth in which the trees from which guttapercha is procured will flourish. The value of this statement is not to be underrated for two reasons: One is that guttapercha is an indispensable material for the making of submarine cables and golf balls; the other is that the trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from which the chief supply has hi erto been drawn are almost entirely ex- hausted. The cause of this exhaus- ton lies in the primitive and destruc- tive methods which were formerly en- ployed for gathering this valuable commodity. Tie natives who never have any thought for the morrow have rurhlesely cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the gnttapercha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark. This whole sale destruction carried or for years has greatly diminished the annual crop, bat the discovery that these trees grow and can be successfully euIti- Eated in the Philippines offers hope that new mine of wealth has been found for American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacifed. While the chief use of guttapercha is, of course. for the isolating covering of electric wires, 8 large quantity is used for the manufacture of golf balls, for which no other material seems 40 yell adapt ed. Its hardness after having been submitted to the proper pressure, ana it's toughness make it the only golf ball material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1856 is some Al. .853 knots, representing a cost for he rabies alone of millions of peuBds sterling, and as the prospects are that during the next fifty years many more cables will be required and laid, the demand for g&tapereha is almost un- limited. The wealth which gutta- percha in the Philippines holds ont to American enterprise ia in proportion to this demand

NAMES On DAYS.
Have Curious Deriva lions Which Few
 People Know.

Last night was at stag dinner, where the company at large was asked from what source the days of tfe week derived thefr names, and only one man put of the twelve present could answer the question, and he was the man whs asked it, and he was one day wrong at that, for I've since looked the matter up. Sunday and Monday are simple enough, and in themselves suggest their derivation from the sun and moon, but with Tuesday we come to the ancient gods of our forefathers, the Engels, that hardy race that displayed the Briton and gave their name to the English people. Tuesday was named for Twi. their god of death, Wednes- Gay for Odin, Woden or Wotan, who occupies in their mythology 8 position analogous 10 that of Jupiter on Mt. Olympus; Thursday for Thor, the god Of air and storm and rain; Friday fer Freia or Freya, the god of peace, and Saturday possibly for Saeterr, an ob
 seure god of their mythology, but more probably 1t takes it's name for Saturn. It would seem as though almost any one you would ask would know the derivation of these words of daily use, sut I'll wager that not one person out uf hundred can tell them correctly. It's like the surprise the Bible gives one not familiar with it, by the idlems and phrases they will come across when reading its pages, that are fams- liar and eolloquial in the language they use. but which are uttered without the slightest knowledge of whence the7 came on the part of either speaker or Nstener.-New York Tribune.

The Remains or Paul Jone.

The remains of Paul Jones, the American sailor of the revolutionary war. having been located in an oh- scure Paris cemetery. which has long since been built over, desire has been expressed to have the remains, if they ran be located, removed to the United States. But the American colony in Paris has another plan. If Washing ton consents, it intends to buy the ground, remove the eneumbering houses. and create a public square. Over the grave of Paul Jones 1t would erect a monument-a symbol of the old friendship of the >wo republics h view of the object, the cost would. be Insignificant. The Paris authorities have intimated that they will gladly second the project. Long ago they named streets after Washington, Franklin and other American heroes.

The Sioux City Journal Washington
correspondent writes as follows to his
paper:
Representative Gamble, of South
Dakota was in the house when it was
called to order and was warmly con-
graduated on his complete recovery
and the flattering outlook for his SEN
atorial aspirations. He will give spe-
cial attention to a number of meas.
ures in which his state is interested.
Among these is the Hot Springs Sani-
tarium and the public building at
Deadwood. The former has passed
the senate and has been favorably re-
ported from committee in the house.
The bill for a public building at Dead
wood will provide for an expenditure
of S250,0o0. Mr.. Gamble processes
confidence that he will be able to
carry both bills through the house at
this session, and at all events will push
them at every opportunity. He will
have valuable assistance from Repre-
sentative Burke, who has also
mapped out special program for the
session.

Death of Mrs. Ed. Bond.

Death has again entered the home of
Hon. Ed. Bond and taken away his be-
loved wife. She has been suffering
from heart disease for some time and
although everything has been done for
her that could be it has been known
for some time that she could not sur
vive long. Shs died Tuesday at p. M.
Mrs. Bond had never ceased mourning
the death of her son, Wylie, which oc-
cured about three years ago, and it is
believed that had something to do with
her heart trouble. The funeral was
held at Buffalo Gap Thursday, under
the direct charge of the Royal Neigh
bors of this place, number of the
members of the order attending. A
choir from this place also furnished
the music for the occasion.
Though words of sympathy avail lit
tie in assuaging grief, the STAR unites
with Il large circle of friends in this
and Custer county in rendering the be-
reaved husband profound sympathy in
his great afiIiction.

For co,n,nandant of the Home

Assuming that there will be vacan-
cies about January !, in all of the state
institutions, brought about by the
great political upheaval of Nov. 6, in
South Dakota, some of the newspaper
correspondents have set about it to at
once make nominations for all places
For the Soldiers Home Il Sioux Falls
correspondent fixes up the following:
sFor commandant of the South Da-
kota Soldiers Home at Hot Springs
there are three active candidates in
the field. They are Col. G. y. b. Fox,
of Minnehaha county: Gen. Geo. A.
Ludlow, of Bonhomme; and G. B. Jack
son, of Roberts. All have good records,
both as citizens and as soldiers and as
each will secure strong support from
the veterans of the state it would be q
difficult matter to Pick the winner at
this time.'
Now that sort of thing may be good
newspaper gossip, but as we have be-
fore now remarked, the Black Hills be-
longs to South Dakota-or rather is
don't like to have this region altogeth-
.er ignored. 1t has been done SO much
in the past that it is getting to bequite
natural for some folks never to con
slider the Hills at all when the plums
are being distributed. The Soldiers
Home is located right here i'll the Hills
and has some especial reason for be-
ing counted in Snaen it's ofiiciary is be-
kQg talked ABOUT. Yhe' eastern part of
the state never comes oven here for APP
pointees to state institutions, and
therefore the Hills proposes to h&ve a
candidate for commandant of the Sol
diers' Home this time, and that is Wr.
A. s. Stewart, who was the father of
the Soldiers Home idea in this state
and introduced the first bill for its To-
cation at Hot Springs and is therefore e
most largely responsible for its being
here. Therefore, aside from his being
worthy and we'll qualified veteran OF
the war, he has good claims for the
position. DIR. Stewart doesn't need
any newspaper advertising i'll his can
didacy, but while these things are be
ing gossiped about it is we'll enough
that at least those who seem to have
the best end of the pole should bt
mentioned also.

In Behalf of the Firm He Speaks Words Of
Farewell to HotSprings.
Less than ono score months ago, sur
rounded in your midst by hosts of hu-
man cares and ailments, which stand
but as monuments to the folly and ruin
of man, we stepped forth among you
and launched upon the stormy and
uncertain waves of public comment, q
newborn canoe: IA canoe hewn from
the.eternal elements of primary truth;
a truth more antiquated than the tenn
pies of the hills; more aged than the
paternal sun, which puts to speedy
flight the nocturnal jewels Of the heav-
ems, and emblazons the endless arches
of the skies.
So thus it is: thus is Weltmerism;
there she stands: behold her as you
will: she sails majestically onward,
Needless of the foam. of the ocean
waves: not IL cruiser of war; not IL pi-
rate of the seas; bnt Il life-boat to the
forlorn aud ship-wreclled on the sands
ness and sin: on the sands of disease
and despair.
But boats do not save all, and
neither does Weltmerism; but it has
saved many: many, who for measured
years, we're bowed down by weight of
woe, and all the ills akin to these, our
mortal shores; twas the silver thread
snapped asunder: the pitcher broken
at the fountain.
But many lifted their eyes from the
earth and looked toward Weltmerism-
and behold new hope burst forth like
the radiant sun amid the cheerless
gloom of drealy season of Lapland
| winter.
You. who read these lines may short,
| ly remember them, but those who
know. shall never forget; shall never
forget the path that leads from the
dust of earth to the cool kisses of the
skies an>i the eloquence of the heavens

Well pat the Beur and Tiger in passing up
| And use the Northern Dipper as n cup;

In conclusion, we say farewell
While with you, we have formed the

done the best we could. Forget tn,

the song
