NEW USE FOR COAL DUST.
Somebody Apparently Selling It Widsis
 in Placo of Antimons.

A rural chemist has accidentally dis covered curious case of adulteration. or, more accurately, of substitution in the matt r of q drug commonly sold in pharmacies, rural and urban. The drug is the tri-sulphide of antimony, commonly known as black antimony The chemist in analysing a patent remedy discovered that the Ingredients nearly corresponded with those in formula furnished by the Agricultural department but that coal dust had been substituted for black antimony. Struck with this discovery, the chemist obtained twelve samples of black anti- mony, most of them from druggists In his own neighborhood, but one from New York, of these, only one was really black antimony; the others were coal dust, coal dust and chalk or coal aust and sand There is no reason to suppose that the druggists knew Of the substitution, for thero would be little profit in the deception unless it Tere practieed on large scale; but 1t seems plain that some manufacturing chemist is selling worthless substi- tute for black antimony. Indeed the substitute may be sent out from more than one factory, fir while the dozen samples tested came from the eastern coast, the remedy in which the sub. stitution was originally detected came from the west. The New York drug gist who sold sample of the substi
 ute does business in fashionable quarter where there is considerable demand for black antimony on the part of grooms and ceachmen, who use il fin the preparation of condition pow ders for horses. Two other druggists in the same neighborhood do not keep black antimony. One of them keeps what is known as red antimony, which is chemically identically with black antinoay though different in appear a1ce. Red antimony is a product of chemical precipitation, while black antimony Is natural product found in many parts of Europe. in Nova Scotia ald Nevada.

GREAT SALT LAKE.
Eo Living Thing in It and No Danger
 Of Being Drowned.

Of Being Drowned.
 The water of the Great Salt lake. Ctah, is clear and transparent, with bottom Of fine white sand and mar gin of incsasted salt. It is one of the pUrest aud most concentrated primes in the Whole WGrld It's waters give sus, tenance to ID living thing; there is not tie smallest insect or worm ts tGightcn tic most timtd bather, and the bathing is the most perfect sea oathtng in the wGole of North Ameri- si1a in it. Che may actually walk the water, no matter how deep it is. Your body Gil persis.tently rise up, tha shoulders above the surface, or you may even sit down ;n it. It's wonder ful buoya2cy must be experienced tG he rfaliZed. No knowledge of swim- lniAg is necessary; one may enter the lake without the slightest fear; all you have to do is to lie down and float. But to swim in it, that is an- other thing. When your hands ara put under the water to take a stroke, your feet, like Banquo's ghost, will not go down. It is impossible to keep more than one end of your body under water at sime. You cannot swim, but if yen are man you can float on yoUr back, with your arms crossed under your head, and smoke your pipa or cigar with as much ease as if in your own room. The water is so salt tat it cannot be swallowed without great danger of strangulatioE smaI drop in the eye, too, gives much pain, But, in spite of all the dangers, bath ing in the Great Salt lake is refreshing 9nd invigorating, notwithstanding that the body must be rebathed in fresh water afterward to remove the i'm. mense quantity of sail which adheres to the skin. It is hard work to make any headway, even against the smalless waves. Nearly half a million people Dathe in the Great Salt lake ever, year; they come from all over the world, and tourists are beginning to realize that Salt Lake City and the magnificent surroundings present the greatest scope of novelty, and is des, tined to be q leading watering place.

A Favorite Rende2 an, for T,-anp&
 Two years ago well was drilled on the Hays farm, near Independence, Mo-, in search of oil. The we'll was put down by some eastern company. Situated ir q secluded place along little creek, very few people ever knew that the well had been drilled What was found in the well will never be known, for as soon as it was rompict- ed, ii was immediately filled up with rock and dirt. Lately, however, gas has begun to issue from the well, and now it comes forth II considerable quantities. It is not far from a little station on the Santa Fe railroad, and this winter the tramps have taken pos session Of the place. They have piled rocks around the well and turned part Of an oil stove over it, on which they cook. They have put up a shanty. and in the center of the room their stove heated it with natural gas. The advantage of natural gas has made the place a favorite rendezvous for tramps for miles around, and they have quite colony there

VETERANS PRAYER.

(on the death of William Mckinley
AS the cloud upon the sun
Shades thy hills, My Native Land,
And the weeping has begun
That relieves the scorching sand,
May the shadow of our grief
Yield a blessing from on high
That will bring us the relief,
From the spirit, drawing nigh.
If we loved our chief too we'll,
Loved not Thee as we should do,
May kind, forgiving spell,
Like the falling of the dew
Soothe our sorrows, as we grope,
Blinded by the darkening cloud.
Oh! Our Father, let us hope,
Even if we were too proud.
Our dear Comrade, thou hast bid
To higher trust, we know.
Us. thy children, thou hast child,
Guide us gently as we go.
AS the cloud doth clear away
In the waning of the night,
May the stars new beams display,
And our land be bathed in light.

meal will certainly be found to give
better results with all other kinds of
animals.
The number of pounds of live weight
that may be produced by feeding
bushel of wheat will evidently vary ac-
cording to the age and condition of the
animal fed. Prof. Robertson, at the
Ottawa experiment station, fed frozen
wheat to hogs and secured from 81 to
1915 pounds, live weight, from bushel,
the greater increase being from young,
growing animals, and the smaller from
those which were fattening.
At the South Dakota Experiment
Station the hogs fed ground wheat re-
quired 4.S1 pounds, and those fed whole
wheat required 4.91 pounds for pound
gain in live weight. The ground wheat
fed returned $3.50 cents per bushel, the
whole wheat, 55.83 cents; corn, 60
cents and peas, 65.36 cents. The quail
ity of pork obtained from ground wheat
and corn was about equal, and was su-
perior to that from whole wheat, peas,
or mixed feed.
Feeding Value of Corn and Wheat.
From the Canadian experiments it
would appear that the feeding value of
an equal weight of wheat is slightly in
excess Of that of corn; the South Da-
kota experiments gave better results
from corn. In general, the difference
would probably not be very great, but
it would undoubtedly be better to mix
corn and wheat, or corn, wheat, and
bran, or corn, wheat, and middlings.
The following examples show the COM
position of such mixtures.
Many other combinations might be

THE NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS.

AS might have been expected, the Ne
braska Democrats, who closed their
state convention early this morning, took
their stand on the old platforms of the
party in their brief reference to national
issues. They also fused with the Popu-
lists, in convention at the same time, by
the making of state ticket, taking the
head of the ticket from their own ranks,
and the nominees for Regents of the
University from those of the Populist
faith. They condemned the proposed
reorganization of the Democratic party,
declaring that those who proposed this
adjustment of factions were merely the
boilers who had assisted in the election
Of President Mckinley in two national
contests.
1t is apparent that William j. Bryan
still dominates the party organization in
his own state, whatever his loss of
strength may be in other common
wealths. He has especially urged the
continuance of fusion, having taken the
floor in recent conference and opposed
aggressively the proposition to re-estab-
lish Democratic independence in Ne
braska.
But the action of the Nebraska Demo-
Gratis will not have much effect upon the
general tendency throughout the coun-
try to get away from the hopeless issues
of the last two Presidential campaigns,
and return to grounds upon which the
whole Democratic party may be reunit-
ed. The other state conventions of
this year have indicated very clearly
that the popular sentiment Of the party
is against the continued leadership of
Mr.. Bryan, that it is opposed to several
of the principal articles in the Bryan
confession of faith and that success can
be achieved only through the reunion of
the factions.
There is plenty of time to formulate
the issues of the next Presidential cam
paign, and when they are made up
doubtless there will be vital questions
not now under consideration. But in
the meantime it seems almost certain
that there will be radical departure
from the Chicago and Kansas City plat
forms. If not, then the logical candi-
date for nomination in 1904 will be Will
liam j. Bryan, and the inevitable Sc
quence will be another defeat.
