TRICKS IN ALL TRADES.
EGorts to Prevent Counterfeiters
From Altering Railroad Tickets.

From several unfortunate experiences
cifc has learned a lesson with regard
to the quality of paper upon which Ger
tain tickets should be printed. Shrewd
counterfeiters have, by means of acids,
changed the dates and names on several
occasions on tickets issued by the
Northern Pacific, in many cases almost
doubling the distance for which the tick
consequently ordered a special kind of
paper for this use next year and hopes
to defeat the unscrupulous work of these
outlaws.
Complaint along this line was quite
general among the railroads after the re-
cent G. A. R. reunion at Chicago, when
destinations were changed by the whole
sale by manipnlators who had bought the
tickets at Chicago.

UNITED STATES EXPORTS
Wonderful Growth Shown in the
Fact That Over $500, 900, 900 in
Manufactured Metals Were
Shipped Last Year.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 22.-An IL
lustration Of the rapid growth of our
manufacturing interests is found in the
fact that the expectation of manufac-
lures of metals during the ear about to
end will reach 5000 1000, 900. The figures ~
the treasury bureau of statistics for the
ten months ending Nov. 1, show that
more than 100000 900 worth of iron and
steel and more than $5O,0OO,0OO worth of
copper had been exported during the
ten months, and these figures, coupled
with those relating to the less important
manufacturing metals and the articles
manufactured from metals, but not in
cluded under these general terms, will
bring the total for the year Up to fully
$780, 100000. In steel rails the exports of
the year will aggregate $4,000, goo, or an
average of S,0OO,000 per month, while
was not until 1897 that the figures for any
entire year reached as much as s., 900, 900.
RAILWAY MATERIAL.
In the fiscal year 1890 the total value of
steel rails exported was $315, 900; in 1896 it
was only O,0O0; in 1897 $500, 900; in 1898
$4,oOO,OO0; in the fiscal year 1899 Sc, 250, 900,
and in the calendar year 1900 will be fully
81, 100000. Nearly 100000 worth of these
exports Of steel rails in 1900 go to Europe;
another million dollars worth to Mexico,
nearly two millions to South America,
four millions to British North America,
and two million dollars worth to Asia
and Oceanica. American locomotives also
go along with the American steel rails,
and the total for the year seems likely
to reach about S., 00O,OOO in value.
The American rails and locomotives are
In turn accompanied by American cars,
of Which the expectation for steam rail-
ways will amount to 100000 during the
year, and for other railways more than
$l,OOO,OOO. Add to this proper share of
the 5000 900 worth of electrical machinery
and $6000,0O0 Of telegraph, telephone and
other electrical instruments and scientific
apparatus exported and it will be seen
that for the construction and operation
of railways outside of the United States
the manufacturers of this country will
supply during the year about to end full

er than last years in spite of the in
crease in the school population. The
school lands in the state are constantly
increasing in value, SO the school de-
partment can keep increasing the dis
tribution without touching the capital.
One section out of every township in
the state is set aside for public school

WEATHER OF A YEAR.
The Heat, Cold and the Moisture of
the Past Twelve Mouths
Summed Up.

The year of 1899 was noted for ito
extreme cold weather during a portion
of the year and for the little excessive
heat during the summer, the ther-
mometer at no time reaching the hund-
red mark, as reported by Observer
Huyck, OF the government weather SER
vice. The coolest day was Feb. IL,
when the thermometer went to 80 de-
grees below zero, and on July "a the
mercury reached its highest point,
when it went up to 9S. So far as pre-
cipitation is concerned there was q
good quantity of water fell and it made
a total Of 10. SO inches. 1t was divided
up among the months of the year "a
follows: January 81; February IT;

was 1.60 inches less precipitation than
in the year just closed.

1900 is NO LEAP YEAR.
Although the Year is Divisible Four
More Years Will Have to
Pass Before it Comes,

II any OF the gentler sex have been
figuring on the coming of 1900 as q leap
year they will be disappointed 10 the
knowledge that it is not leap year aud
that four more years must pass by be-
fore its privileges can be utilized for
any special purpose. The American
Review OF Reviews gives the following
reasons why 1900 falls to be leap year:
1t is to be borne in mind that the
year 1900 is not leap year, although
Invisible by four. Under the Gregor-
ian calendar the year consists approx
imately OF 36o days, five hours, 49 MIN
utes, and II seconds. The accumulated
surplus over and above the 365 days
amounts, in the course of q century, 70
very nearly 244 days. To indulge ID
leap year every four years would re-
quire enough remnants of time to make
up twenty-five days for every century.
The arrangement IN practical use allow
twenty-tour leap years each for three
consecutive centuries, and then gives
the fourth century twenty-five such
days. Thus, though it ia not likely to
concern many OF us in an Immediate,
practical way, it may be remarked that
| the twentieth century will be one day
longer than the nineteenth, since it is
arranged that the twenty-tifth leap
year which is assigned to every fourth
century snail be brought into the cal,
endar of the year that is divisible by
400. The failure to sacrifice three
quadrennial leap years-that is to say,
three extra days in every four centur-
ies-has led to the discrepancy between
what is known as the Julian, or old
style calendar, and the Gregorian.

In June the state encampment of the
G. A. r., w. r. G. and S. of V. will
be held in Mitchell and the officers
selected at this time were chosen with
the idea OF placing people in charge
who will bend every energy toward
making the encampments success.
Commander Silsby made few remarks
on the coming OF the old soldiers to
Mitchell in the summer and stated that
there would und oubsedly be the largest
crowd in attendance than for q good
many yeare. for the reason that Mitch.
ell lay right in the heart of the pop
ulous part of the state and would be
the means OF drawing good many mer
and women who have never attended
the encampment when it was held il
the remote parts of the state.
There now seems 10 be no question
but what the First South Dakota regi
ment will hold it's first reunion at the
tims OF the encampment of the ole
soldiers. Some correspondence ha
passed between the leading members o
the regiment and parties in this cit,
and in nearly every instance they hav'
ex pressed wish to hold the reunion
here in conjunction with the olde
organizations.
The committees OF the local post vii
soon be appointed to start the ball t,
rolling for the 1900 encampment ant
they will never stop until one OF the
largest crowds of the association ha.
been assured will come to Mitchell.
