WYoMING'S SOAP MINE.
All Ready to Use When Taken from
the Earth and Cut Into
"a, Cakes.

Wyoming has a soap mine. a de-
posit of a whitish material, in COM
posite form, containing just enough
sulphates, potash and pumice to give
gritty essential, has been discovered
five miles west of Newcastle, in the
northwestern part of Wyoming, says
the Denver Times.
Th deposit lies in fissure and dips
into the ground like vein of mineral.
The vein, so-called, is Is to is Feet
wide, and runs the length of quar-
ter section, which for 20 years up to
date was used as a stock pasture.
Probably q building of commodious
dimensions fitted with machinery
that will cut he slabs of mineral soap
into sizes for commercial use, Will
cover portion Of the ground.
The cleanest town in the United
States, it is possible, will be located in
this section. 1t will be free from SCOT
or smoke. For the factory boilers
will be heated by petroleum, found
near by, and the soap to keep the
place clean is found in such large
quantities in the ground, and conse-
nently so dirt cheap, that men can be
kept on the payroll to do nothing else
but look out for dirt spots aud quick
ly remove them.
c. w. Retts, a Dcnvor mining en-
gineer, had occasion recently TO visit
northern Wyoming with T.. p. Snow,
of Cheyenne, to look up some oil pros
pects They came BY this deposit
What attracted Mr.. Belts attention
was the appearance Of q mass that
| looked like soapsuds. He Investigated
and to all appearances it was soap
suds. There had been good rain the
night before. This had beat on thC
exposed deposit in such manner as
to produce the suds. A trial of 6
chunk of the stuff Oh the hands result
ed in determining that nature hat
there left rs good an article of soaI
to be used for washing paint, polishing
culinary articles, removing CRIME ant
grease from the hands as could b.
manufactured by the hand of man.
Mr.. Belts has plans for developing
this unique find and it may be expect
ed that in a short time the markets o
the world will be supplied with an
other wonderful product from anothe
of the states of boundless resource
in the Rocky Mountain region.

TOBACCO HONESTY.
A pwIng Tobacco With a Conscience
BsAlnd II" Reaps the Reward
W Of the Best Policy.

That fine sentiment, Honesty is the
best policy" which has stimulated so
much worthy effort and made success
easier in many places, has always been
the guiding principle in the manufac-
kure of Wetmores Best chewing tobac-
co.
Some one has aptly described Wet
plore's Best as a chewing tobacco
with conscience behind it" so closely
have the manufacturers held to the
spirit of the adage quoted But the re-
ward has come; not only in Il comfort
ing self-approval, but in a large busi-
ness; a business that is extending
from day to day until Wetmore's Best
is known wherever good chew is
priced or sought.
This best quality is not attained
without effort. in addition to good in
tent. The tobacco used in Wetmore's
Best is selected by expert buyers with
a view to uniformity of quality, man
ufactured by the most advanced meth
ods in n model factory-all of which
requires a very large and very intelli-
gent business organization.
Every buying and factory effort is
given to quality and uniformity There
is not a penny used for anything but
legitimate business effort in making
and marketing Wetmores Best.
No premiums.
Because every premium that is CIV
en- must be paid for by reducing the
quality of the tobacco.
Wetmore's Best will remain best by
giving moneys worth-more than
moneys worth, judged by the common
standard-and every dealer is instruct
ed to return purchase money if a custo-
mer says he is dissatisfied with Wet
more's Best.
The sign of Wetmore's Best in a to-
bacco store is evidence of the dealer's
fairness and good intention. A piece
Of Wetmore's Best in a mans pocket
is promise of satisfaction with both
himself and his chew.

THUMB MARK NONSENSE.
There IL No Truth I'm the Notion That
the Marks Never Change
Throughout Life.

"a tremendous amount of nom
sense has been written about thumb
marks" said New Orleans physi-
clan, who has liking for the by
paths of science, reports the Times
Democrat. "It is claimed, you know,
that the curious skin configuration
of the ball and thumb is never the
same in any two people and that it
never changes from birth to death.
The first statement is, of course, cor
rect, as no human being in the world
is exactly like any of his fellows.
But the assertion that the thumb
marks never change throughout life
and would serve as a means of iden-
tifcation from the cradle to the
grave, is, to say the least, decided
eXaggeration. | have given the sub
iect careful investigation and have
shown by number of experiments
that the conliguration is liable to
such changes as render it entirely
unrecognizable when compared with
print of the original markings. The
alterations may come from variety
of causes-anything, in fact, that will
destroy the outer layer of skin.
81 took an India ink impression of
my own thumb several years ago and
not long after | blistered both of
them pretty severely while rowing on
the lake. AS usual the outer skin
peeled off and it occurred to me one
day to take new impression and see
whether the flesh surface was an ex-
act fac-simile of the old, l was as
tonished at the variations and all my
preconceived ideas of the immutabil-
ity of the mark were knocked higher
than kite. Ii is true the changes
were more in the nature of distor-
tion of the former patterns than a
complete Encouragement of the lines,
but they were so pronounced that
any value the marks may have had
for Identification purposes was en-
tirely lost. They excited my interest
and | persuaded a few of my friends
to loan me their thumbs for expert
ments. / first took India ink impress
sions and then removed the top skin
with a solution of arnica. The skin
layer that came off was a mere film
not nearly so thick as in my case
yet in every instance there were dis
tinct and unmistakable alterations in
the lines. One mans second print
was so changed you would never in
/ the world have identified it with the
| first. Another modifying cause is
the tendency of the thumb to develop
little horizontal creases as one grows
old. This is especially true of me-
chanics and other working people
who use tools, and eventually the
creases will break up the skin con-
fguration to such an extent that it
is equivalent almost to rearrange-
ment of the pattern.
Eyes, l know that popular belief
is dead against me on the subject
added the doctor in response to a
question, "but there are lot of
things we take for granted in the
world that won't bear scrutiny"

That Marietta Prize Fight.

Joseph G. Brennan, Marietta, o.
''My Dear Sir:-Word comes to me
through the public press that a prize
fight took place at Marietta last Tues
day night, August p, but that it was
broken up before the finish. This is an
outlawed enterprise, so disgraceful and
brutal, indeed, that the Governor OF
Texas thought it worth his while to
call the legislature in extraordinary
session to pass law to prohibit Cor.
bett and Fitzsimmons from pulling of
their proposed fight in that state.
Those who have the pride OF the state
of Ohio at heart should see to it that
such enterprises should take no place
in this state. l sincerely hope that
you will carefully investigate this mat
ter and bring to punishment every per
son engaged in this nefarious under
taking. With kindest regards, 1 re

WEATHER STILL HURT
Ing CROPS.
Some Sections Suffer From Ex
cessive Rains. Others From
Drought.
Outlook For Apples Very Poor.

ashington, Sept. 3.-The Weather
Bureaus summary of conditions is as
follows:
While the weather conditions of the
week ending September ,, 1901, have
been generally favorable in a majority
of districts, heavy rains lin some places
excessive) have injured crops and re-
tarded work in portions of the South
Atlantic and Gulf States, and dry, hot
weather has been unfavorable in the
Missouri and upper Mississippi Valleys
and on the North Pacific Coast. Ex-
treme heat and drought in localities of
Oklahoma and Texas has also been
very detrimental to crops. Cool
weather has retarded the maturing and
drying of fruit in California, and light
frosts occurred in Nevada.
Late corn continues to show improve
ment, although it was injured by
drought and heat in portions of Kansas;
has suffered further decline in Missouri
and needs rain in Nebraska. In Iowa,
corn is maturing rapidly, and the cut
ting of early planted is general in all
sections of that State and Missouri.
and the more northernly sections,
and is progressing in Kansas. Further
improvement in late corn is reported
in the Ohio Valley, but it has suffered
by floods in the lowlands of Tennessee
Reports indicate that the bulk of the
late corn will be safe from injury from
frosts by September Is to 20, but thai
some very late fields will require unit
October to fully mature the crop.
Spring wheat threshing continues
with satisfactory yields, except il
North Dakota, where they are ligh
and of poor quality, the berry being
shrunken and bleached.
The condition of apples still continue
unrromising in nearly all sections
Some improvement is reported from
Kansas. and fair to good crops are in
dicated in portions of Arkansas, Hi
nois, Indiana and West Virginia: else
where apples are scarce and of a poo
quality.
Soil conditions are favorable TO
blowing and seeding which are in prog
ress, and usually well advanced in al
districts, except in Missouri. Nebraski
and Oklahoma, where the work ha
: been retarded by drought, and in por
tiOns of Virginia, where it was inter
: ferred with by wet weather.
