THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES
One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.

One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.
The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
ly made of bronze, historically known
as the colossus of Rhodes. 1t repre-
sented Phobus, the national deity of
the RhOdians. 1t was begun by Chares,
a pupil of Lysippus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2SS B. c.
The popular belief is that it stood
astride the harbor of Rhodes. that it
was 105 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between it's legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates,
afterward joined together, and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was n spiral staircase reach
ing into its head, and in a great mirror
suspended to it's neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was OverthrOwn by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. d. G72-when they were sold by the
Saracens to a Hebrew dealer. The
original cost was 300 talents-say, &c.,
| 000,0 ,000-and it is not too much to say
! that a similar image might be con
structed now in one-fourth of the time
and at one-third of the original cost
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain, for Pliny relates
that the port was adorned with 1,0O(
colossal statues of the sun.

The Dead One.

An old colored woman was taking
on the other day over the death of
her baby as she was going from the
church to the hack which was to take
her to the cemetery. A white woman
who knew her happened to be passing
and said alphabetically:
(Which one of your children is dead,
Aunt Eliza?'

negress.-Atchison Globe.

Odor of Metals.

Gold and platinum have little or no
Odor, but the smell of newly cut tin
and of other metals is very pronounc-
ed 1t is suggested that uranium fur
nishes clew to the odors of metals,
as this is a very strong smelling sub
stance, and it is always giving off the
so called Becquerel rays, consisting Of
streams of minute corpuscles.

A STRANGE WOMAN CALLED AT MY OFFICE. |

pistol; he betrayed many signs of guilt |
when arrested. | was employed in his |
defense and after half an hours talk
with him came to the conclusion that
he was guilty. He didn't admit his
guilt, but at the same time he didn't
deny it with the warmth expected of
an innocent man. 1t was by accident
altogether that made a series of dis
coveries. This man had planned with
another to break open the passenger
depot and rob the safe. They had been
surprised while at work by a tramp,
and the hostler was afraid to talk to
me or any one else of the murder case
for fear Of being found out in the less
or crime. When once | had the thing
straightened out, it did not take long
to upset the case of the police. l had
scarcely done this when | was upset
myself.
A building contractor named Otis
came to me to make confession. He
had reasons to suspect that Higgins
had ruined his home. and when there
was no longer any doubt in his mind
he had determined to kill the man.
He told me in detail of his going to the
house. effecting an entrance, telling
Higgins what he had done and then
shooting him He wanted to be trieG
for the shooting and believed that the
Jury would acquit him. Acting on ms
advice, he went to the police with his
story and at it's conclusion was put
under arrest

bowled over at the very outset. Mrs.
Otis declared in the most emphatic and
earnest way that she had never spoken
a dozen words to Higgins, her husband
had never intimated that he had the
slightest cause for jealousy of any man.

that from 10 o'clock in the evening
until two hours after midnight on the
night of the murder he was at home

told me purely imaginary story, anC
he stuck to it for several days. but a

everything. There were those WIT

The police now returned to their frs

Oxygen.

Oxygen forms one-ffth of the atmos-
phere, eight-ninths of the waters and,
taking all together, one-half of all the
materials of the globe, so far as they
are known. AS carbon is the basis of
all the organic substances of the world,
so oxygen, the supporter of life and
combustion, represents its living ener-

Sample Shoes.

The Cash Mercantile company are
having great sale on those sample
shoes. They bought lot of eight
hundred pairs, and since Monday
when they put them on sale have
been going at the rate of fifty pairs
day.
These are shoes from the factory
which the travelling men have had on
the road as samples. One man takes
right shoe and another a left. The
very best shoe in the stock is taken
for sample. After they have been
on the road for one trip they arc
brought back TO the house, mated up
aud sold for what they will bring to
some dealer like the G. M. g. In the
whole eight hundred pairs there is no
two pairs alike, and only one size of
kind, and if you cannot get your tit
in certain kind of shoe you will
have to take some other kind.

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The Oakes Milling Com
hany Prepare to Fur
pish Electric Light.

Messras G. P. and E. j. Walton Of
the OakestMilling company are con-
templatingN putting in an electric
plant in the hill, and supply the pee
pie of the dtyWi,h electric light.
In talking with the gentlemen this
week we Learned that they have now
about forty horse power surplus in
the capacity bf their steam plant at
the mill, and \ is this surplus power
the propose toause in operating the
dynamo for theslight. They will ask
the city for a franchise to erect poles
and string wires along the streets
and alleys, and will also ask for a
contract to furnish four or five lights
for the streets. :
This forty horse power they now
have in the mill that. is not in use
will furnish the equivalent of five
hundred 16 candle power lamps. As
to the cost to the consumers, that
feature depends entirely upon the
number furnished. When the 500
light plant is once installed the diff
ference in cost of producing. 200 or
500 lights is small, and if the entire
capacity of the plant can be sold, the
average cost will be much less than
if only one half or less is takens Thus
the average cost may be as high as
ST per month for a single light to. So
or So for battery of ten lights in, a
place.
Here is chance for the citizens soi
Oakes to take hold of the matter, and
have an electrict light for the city
without great expense, and one that
can be operated cheaper and light
furnished at less cost than if an indie.

trio light alone. Messrs, Walton say
they do not expect to make any pro-
fit out of the venture the first year at
least, not until they are able to- sell
ore light than they anticipate DO
Jog for a while. They will be satis,
fed with paying actual expenses, add
trust to the future for profits, 6hen
the town gets larger and the fpfume
of business is greater.
We hope the citizens qfDakes will

Veterinarian Teal has made two
trips into Sargent county this week.
On one trip he found some cattle af-
fected with axathrax or black leg,
also some horses affected with CLAN
ders. The horses weres killed and
the cattle in the herd wers vaccinated
for their ailment. j
DIR. Teal has been hnstler in look
ing after the duties of His Office since
he has been an incumbenS, and has
done a lot of work ii looking after
and stamping out Sfdiseases among
stock. His salary is only $500 per
year, and out of that he has to pay
his own expensesswhen he is out on a
trip, which often exceeds the salary.
This veterinary work, when it is at
tended to as DR.. Teal does, is impor-
tant aud the salary should be more
than enough toEcover expenses,

II Is the custom on the Bowery to beat
