LUMBER MILLS ARE:
CLOSING FOR SEASON

OILY few weeks remain before the
lumber mills along the river will
start TO close down for the wintC r
season. Tie past season as a whole
has been successful and the excellent
stage of water and the plentiful sup
ply of logs has enabled the mill own
ers to secure all the material they
needed. Unless severely cold weather
should set in many upper river mills
will not close down for four or five
weeks.
Some people have an idea that
there is place up north where al
the logs from each company's forest
are made up and are started thence
on their long journey down the river.
This is not the case, however in
many instances Macy RATS are made
up OF a common lot of logs To which
each of the company's forests have
contributed is share The msk,Dg
of these logs into RATS is controlled
by company which was organic ed
several years ago by the saw mil
companies of the NJ ssiss ppi river.
rhe logs are ct from the forest
lands by contractors. Sometimes
as many as 40 contractors are
wo king for one company. Toese
logs are NAL ked by each contractor.
The logs thus marked are taken 10 the
banks Of the streams and when tie
water is at the proper stage and the
dams are full, are dumped into the
river 70 be carried below when the
flood gates are open. This year there
has been a scarcity of water and the
result mas been less easy task to get
these logs foated down 20 he places
where the rafts are made up After
the logs are ii Iated down to the place
where toe RATS are made up. each
company is given credit for a certain
number of feet of logs accord
ing as the logs bearing each com
pany contractors marks are charged
to the general company. TDen
each saw mill company gets
rats from the general company equal
t. the mum ber of logs which nave
b ZEN floated down from the forests.
b 1T the identical logs may not be re-
lived. The shortage of RATS in the
Mississippi river at some points has
been due to the scarcity of water in
the smaller streams from which the
logs ase fOated

All MusSuImans Secure Converts.
Europeans habitually forget that ey.
cry Mussulman is more or less of a
missionary-that1 is, he intensely de-
sires to secure converts from Mus
sulman peoples. Such converts not
only increase his own chance of heav-
en-, but they swell his own faction. his
own army, his own means of conquer
ing, governing and taxing the remain
der of mankind.
All the emotions which impel n Chris
tian TO proselyte are in a Mussulman
strengthened by all the motives which
impel political leader and all the mo-
tives which sway n recruiting sergeant,
until proselytism has become n pas
sion. which wherever success seems
practicable, and especially success on a
large scale, develops in the quietest
AIussulman n fury of ardor which in
duces him TO break down every obsta-
Gle. his own strongest prejudceS in
cluded, rather than stand for an in

own lineage and whether the convert
he negro or Chinaman or Indian or
even European, lie will without hesi-

Gas Prospectors Try to Purchase
the Samuel Baker Place
in Edgington.

Not content with the discovery of
natural gas. the people Of the lower
end of the county are working On an
other lead, which if it turns ou, as
well a. some of them hope aud be-
lieve will render u number II farms
west of Reynolds very valuable hold
ings indeed. The find that has set a
number of people prospecting is moth
ing less than that of curious stone
formation bearing il large proper
tions what is supposed to be gold.
The discovery was made Saturday
on the farm Of Harvey Schri yer, three
and half miles west of Reynolds on
the county line. Some we'll drillers
were at work in the bottom Of a
slough when, at depth of about IA
feet, they struck the stone pentioned-
1t is a sandston and crumbles read
ily at the touch. AL through it can
be seen particles of shining yellow
metal that very much resem bles gold

The bed in which IL was discovered
proved to be about is inches in
depth and of unknown ex ent Speci-
mems of the ore were taken to The
jeweler at Reynolds and he prc-
nounced it to contain gold Other
pieces have been brought to this city
by Justice IL. NJ. Schriver, whose u
Gle owns the farm where the strike
was m ade, and have been placed in
competent hands for analysis.
Prospecting for Gas
A rumor comes from the lower end
of the county that the gas which
caused the explosion in the we'll on
the farm of Samuel Baker, near
Edgington, has been made the sub
Ject of an investigation by men of
means, who propose 20 follow up the
lead with vie of finding out if it
exists in paying quantities.
Gas still comes from the we'll and
i. Is thought further drilling may
open up a cham Der where a flow of
some value may be secured.
1t il understood that farm ed oin-
ing the farm of MIR. Baker has changed
hands since the accident which dis
closed the presence of gas and drill
will soon be set at work sinking

brought into the court today and
by the same jury adjudeed insane.
Johnson's case is one of the most pc
culiar that has ever come to the at
tention of local medical men.
He has fits in which it is necessary
to keep him manacled to prevent his
committing violence, while at other
times he is perfectly sane. 1t was
during one of his lucid intervals that
the first examination was made and
the jury hesitsted to pronounce him
insane under the ciroum stances

He was sent to Mercy hospital in
Davenport by friends, but while there
he had a number of spells and it was
necessary to keep aim tied most of
the time After one spell he slept

Owing to lack of knowledge of his

jury did not attempt to assign a
cause for his condition. lie was sent

brand new set Of shoes on them. The
prettiest set of shoes that ever Carrow-

the legs to the horse again, and, thank

We'll! Well! Well!' says Carrowagh,

". And" says he, from this day my
fortunes made"
He had a bit of a horse beast of his
own THAT was running along the road

Carrowagh started off and caught his
little beast by the name and led it up to
the forge. And when he had it the e set

doing, and stuck them into the fire, and
then he caught hold of the bellows and
began to blow and blow, and by the tims
he thought they should be done, and a
good set of shoes on them, he commenced
TO poke for them in the fire but not a
trace nor track of the four legs could my
poor Carrowagh get, for the very good
reason that they were burned to cinders.

for it. but there was neither Mary, nor
gold IN It, only lot of cinders.
And it's Carrowagh was the bitten man,
then, and he did little good the remainder
of that day.
Inc next morning he was standing at
ms forge door again, leaning against IL
ana thinking hard, when he hears The
horses hoofs, and up rides the little red
chap on his horse. and he had two ugly
old women with him-one before and one
behind.
He put the time of day on Carrowagh
ana asked him for the loan of his forge
for a wee while.
Carrowash said he could have it and
welcome, and he set himself to wonder
what was the trick to-day.
The wee fellow put Carrowagh IN b,ou,
up the fire, and when he had il well
blazing, carries in the two old women
ana sticks them in head foremost into
the blaze, and in fifteen minutes he told
Carrowagh that would do and he hauIs

woman ever Carrowagh laid eyes on. And

morse with the young woman before him

Calrowagh himself was hungry enough,
God knows, for it was little he
had eaten since he left home, and he
had small reason to think kindly of this
same tad who had been the means Of
driving him away from his home. But
Carrowagh never did shut his ears and
his eyes to hungry man, so he reached
the lad one Of the potatoes, and he ate
the other himself.
And when the wee red chap had fin

And now I'd like to do something good
for you in return"

science afore me for the rest OF my
days"
