good you can possibly derive from them,

A VERY important case to this
section of the state was argued
this week before the supreme
court. We refer to the Mercel
county tax case against H. B.
Schaffner. So far as the Press is
able to learn the aforesaid county
has not paid any great attention
to the matter, but what the result
will be we cannot say. No deci-
sion had been handed down at the
time of closing these forms.

Olives.

Ol1v&1s
The olive tree in It's wild state II q
thorny shrub or small tree but when
cultivated becomes a tree 20 to 40 feet
high, with no thorns. It lives to q good
age. The leaves resemble those Of d
willow, the flowers are small and white
and grow in clusters as grapes do, and
the fruit is greenish,z whitish, violet
or. even black In color and generally
oval In shape. It is produced In great
profusion, so that an old olive tree be-
comes very valuable to It's owner.
Among the Greeks the olive was
sacred to Minerva, the goddess OF wis
dom. twas also the emblem OF pu-
rity. A:crown Of olive twigs was the
highest honor that could be bestowed
upon a Greek citizen. An olive branch
was also the symbol Of peace, and
the vanquished who came to beg for
peace bore olive branches In their
hands. @
The American olive is remarkable
for the hardness OF Its wood. It ID
found as far north as Virginia. Its
fruit. is at for 8 and it's flowers are
fragrant.
The fragrant olive Of China and in
pan has extremely fragrant flowers,
which are used Tor hayoring tea.

The new. methods of mineral and

old manner Of making hides into leather
and preparing fine furs TOR manufac-

The old bark tannage with its slow
ways and offensive surrounding has been
replaced by quick, effective processes,
perfumed baths and toughening chem
icals.
The Mineral Fur-D Dressing Company
at Dickinson has investigated these
methods and looked this section over as
to the supply of raw material, and is well
satisfied with both.
lt,is an accepted fact that the north
west has been, and will continue to be,
an extensive buyer of the heavier fur and
fur-lined garments. This company has
organized with the direct object Of saw
ing much material now going to waste,
and to manufacture it into articles for
which much money leaves the state.
This is an incorporated company, with
adequate capital, and will undertake to
make a cash, home market for hides,
skins and furs of all kinds, to do custom
work, and to manufacture in any form to
suit patrons.
They particularly recommend ranch
men, trappers, fur-buycrs, and all parties
interested. to save all material Of any
kind, as much as has been wasted here:

erected there will be a prompt market
for little lambskins, OF any age, furs of

been good since he returned from

he appeared in court against the advice
Of his physicians, who told him that he

After the contempt cases had been de-

belief that the United States Supreme
Court would release him. Immediately
following the decision Of that court that
it could not act in the matter McKenzie's
nerve gave way and he took to his bed,

ton is most serious, and believes that he
will not live to finish the sentence, as the
confinement appears to have robbed him
Of all his energy. ,
a petition for thespardon of Mckenzie
was presented to President Mckinley,
but the president declined to consider il
until after it had been passed upon by
the court which had inflicted the penalty.
The petition is signed by several United
States Senator'S and Congressman
and by several Judges Of United
States courts who are acquainted with
Mckenzie and who express the opinion
that from their knowledge of the man
they do not believe that he would inten.
tionally violate the law Or refuse 10 obey
