SHRINKAGE OF THE SUN.
An EnGlish Scientist Estims ties That
II Amounts to Six IAsAss
Q Day.

Aus uuuSI NATlStLuaS course OF lee
tures was begun at the Roya; institu.
ton by Sir Robert Ball. The sun, he
pointed out, was the source OF all the
heat received by this earth, says the
London Times. Now, 1t was well
known fact that most things in cooling
became smaller; a poker. for example.
was shorter when it was cold than
when II was red hot. The sun, too
must obey this fundamental Jaw. and
must therefore be getting smaller. II
we could measure its diameter on two
successive days we should find 1t had
decreased by nine inches--that was to
say, it was shrinking at the rate Of
roughly, five feet week, or a mile in
every 20 years. In view Of this shrink
age, some Of the younger members OF
his audience might feel anxious lest the
sun should not last their time. Such
anxiety, however, was groundless; he
was $4,000 miles in diameter, so II
would take 10000 years for HIM to be
reduced by 1000 miles to $4,000, and
the lecturer was sure that II there
were two suns in the sky, one 100000
miles in diameter and the other S5S, 000
no one would be able to tel by looking
at them which of the two was the small
CT. But as the sun WAS shrinking nine
inches every day, and had been doing
so for ages, 1t followed that in the past
he was very much greater than he was
now. But he always had the same
amount OF material in him and weighed
no heavier than at present; hence the
inference was that he was once huge

Nav Be a Murder.

From Lead comes the news that
a murder has probably been COM
mitted near Cambria, Wyo., across
the South Dakota line. At an
italian wedding young man talked
too much against William McKin-
leys assassination, and being rebuk
ed by an old Italian named Cameo, he
drew from his coat a long knife and
slashed the old man across the
stomach. He was disemboweled and
cannot live. The young Italian es.
capped, and, with another young
man, is believed to be making for
this city. The police Of Lead and
Deadwood and the sheriff OF the
county have been informed of the
affair and will make arrests as soon
vs. possible.

the Sioux City property to such a
firm says the Sioux City Tribune
will suggest itself readily enough.
But anybody's else guess as to what
the Swifts will do with the yards is
as good as the Tribune's.
1t will be assumed that new
packing house will 60 in at the
yards. The packers already operat-
ing here, Armour & Co. and the
Cudahy Packing Co., are largely in
terested in the stock yards company,
having taken stock when they .ame
here to operate plants. But the
control of the company is with Swif,
s. Co. The preferred stock is en-
titled to name majority of the d.
rectors, and these will be dictated
by the owners of the majority OF
preferred stock.

Salt or No Salt.

Once while on journey, had oc-
casion to stop at a country store,
and as | drove up, some one among
the men sitting outside remarked,
"what fine horses you drive" and
"they must get good deal of grain
and salt, said MIR. w. L. Camp, of
Buffalo county, Nebraska, in Prairie
Farmer. I told the men that had
raised the horses from colts, and fed
them grain, but they did not know
the ia ste of salt, and furthermore.
never fed salt to any IF my stock.
All expressed surprise, except one
young man who said that he once
worked for farmer who never fed
salt to any of his animals. If one
will but stop to think he will find
that the water given to his stock
contains more or less salt, for it is
found in all fresh water, and salt
lakes are made and maintained by
fresh streams running into them
but none running out of them, and
as the water evaporates the salt re-
mains. Most writer's or the subject
of feeding cattle, horses and hogs
mention salt as if it was one of the
most important articles of feed.
Now, do not suppose that little
clear salt will do any harm to any
animal that likes it, but not liking
it myself, it was never natural to
feed it to my farm animals. Some
years ago made the discovery that
my cows, horses and hogs were fully
as nice as those that were fed on
raw salt, and 40 disease of any kind
has eyer visited my farm. While l
am not saying anything against
man using salt on his farm if he
thinks best-and l do not know that
it is injurious-yet so far as my ex-
perience goes it does no good.

Let No one Hurt Him"

The above we're the words spoken
by President Mckinley when, re-
coiling from the murderous shots
Of the anarchist Czolgosz, he heard
the spectators shout, Lynch him!"
In these words spoke not only the
man Of large and forgiving nature,
but the lawful head of the republic
counsellng respect for law and
order and undoubtedly feeling his
responsibility to secure for the one
who sought his life that protection
ana deliberate judgment which
characterize our institutions. In
the first moment of frenzy it was in
the minds Of the onlookers to tear
the cowardly assassin limb fron limb
This sentiment was doubtless in the
minds of a great proportion of The
American people when they first
heard that in a time Of profound
peace and political quiet an att mpt
had been made upon the life Of the
nations chief executive. This was
but passing emotion. The presi-
dents words, LET no one hurt him, y
voice the conservative sentiment and
sober second thought Of the country.
Not that there is in any respectable
quarter desire to save the wretch
who sought the presidents destruc
ton from the severest possible pun
ishment, but an insistance that the
punishment shall come through the
established forms of law.
1t has been our proud boast that
the life of every citizen is as sacred
and secure as that of the president.
The tragic event at Buffalo indicates
that the life of president is less Sc
cure than that Of a private citizen,
since he is the target for the enemies
OF law and order. IL suggests the
necessity of prompt and judiclous
legislation, both federal and state,
for the better protection OF the chief
executive.

Farmers Well "Heeled'

Minneapolis Journal: Out of the
Dakotas, out of that aforetime hor-
ror of the lamb like eastern investor,
out of that land which has but re-
Gently experienced the tribulations
that beset all new countries, come
stories that reflect the presence in
the land of the plethoric purse, the
well-stocked !arder, the corpulent
bank account, the cancelled mort
gage. And with these stories come
the walls of bankers who asseverate
that while in times past when the
farmers desired loans the bankers
dared not grant them, now that the
bankers are willing to push out the
bills like hay the farmers will have
none of their money.
The problem in South Dakota now
is not how the farmer can get the
bankers to give him little coin,
but how the banker can persuade
the farmer to take some of his
money. The state land department,
which has a regular system of lend
ing its funds to farmers through
the county commissioners, at a low
rate of interest, has been unable
this year to dispose of more than
part of it's funds, and bankers every
where report discocrag;ng pau.
city OF loan applications. If this
state of affairs continues much
longer the bankers will become iln.
poverished and will have to give up
their poorly yielding business fol
some such lucrative occupation as
farming.

The Circuit Judgeship.

IdCu VI Iue pOtitlcdl pdFtleS nave
placed their prospective candidates
in nomination. The democrats
joining with the populists under the
name democrats, have selected Judge
McGee, the present incumbent as
their candidate, and the republicans
have nominated Charles w. Brown
of this city. While it is deplorable
that politics should be considered in
the selection of judges, it seems un-
avoidab!e that at least nominations
should be made by political organi-
cations; yet in this instance the res
pective candidates have by their
declarations relieved the voters of
any partisan feeling in the matter,
each declaring that the question )f
politics should not be considered by
the voters; that it was not political
Office, and should be removed from
the mire of partisan prejudice,
which is heartily endorsed by this
paper and as we believe by vast
majority of the intelligent voters.
/ Upon this high plane, the UNION
AND STOCK REVIEW does not hesitate
to endorse the candidacy of Judge
McGee. We have made numerous
enquiries from lawyers, litigants,
business men and others and we
have not found one Individual who
has not spoken in the highest terms
of Judge McGee's record in this
office during the past four years,
and it is doubtful if any judge in the
state since statehood has gwen such
universal satisfaction to all classes
Of people as Judge McGee. He is a
man remarkably free from preju-
dices, who's sole object and purpose
has been to perform his duty as he
understands it, without regard to
friend or foe. Judge MCGEE is re-
lnarkably free from those qualities
possessed by too many judges, and
which have perhaps done more to
bring the administration of justice
into dlsrepute than anything else,
viz: bigotry and favoritism.
Judge McGee has at all times re-
garded the solemn verdict OF iuries
as something more than mere
form of law, not assuming that his
knowledge of a disputed question OF
fact was greater than the united
opinions of twelve unbiased jurors,
selected from the various avocations
of life. Neither has Judge MCGEE
endeavored, either by his conduct
or decisions to build up any one In
dividual and tear down another; his
conduct has always been courteous
to all, in fact his record for the past
four years has demonstrated his
ability, spotless integrity, non
partisan and judicial mind, and if
fidelity to trust and economical ad.
ministrations of the law is what the
people of this circuit desire, Judge
MCGEE should receive a splendid
majority at the election IN Novem-
her.

"Worth While"

"ris easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like Q song;
But the man worth while is the one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test OF the heart ia trouble,
And 1t always comes with the years.
But the smile that is worth the praise OF the
earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent,
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice OF sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But IT'D on,y negative virtue
Until 1t is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor OF earth
Is the one that resists desire
BY the cynic, the sad. the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
Th, worlds highway is numbered today;
They make up the item OF life,
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in q smile
It is these that are worth the homage Of earth.
For we find them but once in a while.

From Mutton to Money.

There is, or rather was, years ago in
this city, gentleman who did thirty
ing business in mutton in the market
district, and was well known to hun
dreds of people as bright and orig
inal sort of man. Another man, who
had not seen him for nearly twenty
years, met him short time ago, and
after inquiries as to his health, asked
II he was in the same business.
"Oh, no." was the reply. Pm pre-
siding now"
The man who was inquiring about
him was really phased by this answer,
and remarked that he presumed 1t was
his ignorance, but he must admit he
derived no idea of his business from
the statement that the former market
man was presiding"
"Why," he replied, 81 mean that am
president-president of a bank in

What One Man Thinks.

A man who has been doing Europe
and kept his eyes open all the way, says
that to his mind American women as
class are the best dressed in the
world. They have coed figures and
pretty hands and feet, and the only
fault he has to find with them is that
their costume is so often incongruous
as to details. A two-dollar shirt waist
is constantly worn with thirty-dollar
hat; diamond stars on the simple high
necked dimity evening gowns, and
shabby shoes with otherwise handsome
toilettes. He thinks that incongruity
is shown to n greater degree by the
frocks worn in the mornings by young
women at summer resorts. Excessive
ly open-work gowns of organdy, swiss,
mousseline and even lace, deliberately
trimmed with insertions of fine lace,
are dragged about on the beach and
through the streets of the small towns
They give liberal view of necks and
arms, and while entirely suitable for
evening wear, are hardly more so for
the breakfast table than If they really
We're cut low in the neck instead of
merely having that effect There are,
of course, plenty of girls at the shore
who wear plain little shirt-waist suits
In the morning, but the more elegantly
gowned ones seemed in the majority.
Yet the custom Is in distinctly bad
tosta
