caresulness of surgeons.

It is an object lesson in godliness to
see a surgeon washing his hands after
performing an operation, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. He works of course
with sleeves rolled up to the elbow. SO
that the washing extends from the era
" bone to the tip Of the finger nail.
First there is a hard scrubbing with
plain soap and sterilized water. This is
followed BY a swabbing with tincture
OF. green soap and sterilized water.
Then comes a genuine securing with
equal parts Of Quicklime and soda In
Eterilized water and finally a rinsing in
a solution q to 2,0OO Of bichloride Of
mercury. Without these four separate
washings no surgeon would think Of
venturing out to seattay germs Of dis
ease.

The Story the Croupiers Tell OF the

All gamblers are. superstitious, and
some Of their pet superstitions are now
so old as to haye acquired the respec-

entirely unknown to the many thou
sands Of visitors who toy with the

The most striking of these is the
story Of the Wandering Jew, which the
cronpiers believe as feryently as they
do that the bank win down any titsys-

THE SEWING MACHINE.

unsuccessful Inventions That Pre-
ceded Howe's Patent In 1S4e.
The technical beginning of the sew
Ing machine industry in, this country
was Sept. 10, 1S46, when Elias Howe,
Jr., obtained patent for what grew
into the first really practical sewing
machine. Only three of the first Howe
machines were made, however, and
one Of these was deposited In the pat
ent Office in Washington as model.
It was not until after 1850, that fac
tory for the making of sewing ma
chimes was built, SO the enormous busi-
ness Of today has grown up in short
half century. @
While Howes invention marked the
beginning Of a successful industry, he
was by no means the pioneer in ef-
forts to substitute mechanical for. hand
sewing. AS far back as ITO Thomas
Alsop patented in England q machine
for embroidering. Another machine
for embroidering Ia loom was invent
ed by John Duncan in 1904, and TWEEN
ty-f1ve years later another Eng gishman
named Heilman patented still another
embroidering machine.
The FIRST recorded attempt at me-
chanical sewing was the invention Of
Thomas Saint, who took out patent
in England in 1890 for machine which
executed the old crochet stitch. It
2 was not q success, but some Of the
features of the Saint machine appear
In the perfected machine OF today.
Bartholemy Thimonnier patented in
France in 1880 the first sewing ma
chine put to practical use. Eighty Of
his machines were in use for sewing
army clothing in 1841, when mob de-
stroyed them because convinced they
would drive seamstresses out Of EN-,
ployment. Thimonnier built new and
better machines, but all his work was
again destroyed by angry artisans In
1S4S. X. t..ts b
John J. Greenough took out the first
patent for a sewing machine issued in
the United States in 1S42. It was in
tended to sew leather, but was OF no
practical use. ~ ~
Walter Hunt Of New York built a
sewing machine in 1884, but failed to
protect it by a patent. After Howe's
machine appeared Hunt declared IT
embodied the ideas of his machine Of
1884, but he was unable to establish
his claim. 0 .5.. VI.
A small army Of inventors appeared
after Howe's patent had proved sue
cessful, and their genius was devoted
I to perfecting every part Of the ma
chine. How well they have succeeded
Is shown In the $500 patents for sew
Ing machines and attachments issued
BY the United States since 1850 and In
the fact that the American sewing ma
chine leads all others in every country

shattered and this morning the ply.
sicians said amputation was necessary
to ave the mans life.
To the doctors the man gave his
name and said that he was to blame
for the affair, as he had refused to
stop when called upon to do so by
the officer. This he is said to have
repeated several times and each time
is said to have held the officer blame
less.
After he had been wounded Nc
Bride told the officer that he had been
in, the city only three days, but would
not say anything further. To the
doctors he said his home was here.
This morning his father, who resides
in the city, received the first notice
of the unfortunate affair and called to
see his son at the hospital.
Policeman Hayden greatly regrets
the unhappy occurrence, but con-
siders himself without blame, as the
shot was fired accidentally, although
he says that he probably would have
attempted later on to shoot the man
in the leg if he had found it impossi-
BILE to stop him in any other way.

LIKE ROMANS OF OLD.
italian Railroad Laborers Engage in
Bloody Battle.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
News has reached. the city of a
serious ARRAY which occurred Sunday
night at Rosebud and in which a num-
Der Of men were severely wounded,
some SO badly that they may die from
the effects of their injuries.
The parties to the affair we're all
Italians employed as section men by
the Northern Pacific. They had
bought a lot of beer and were having
a celebration in one of the cars of the
boarding train. One of them, named
Elbarone, wanted to go to bed and as
he could not sleep because of the
noise made by the roysterers in the
car he ordered them to leave. A young
fellow, a nephew of Elbarone, refus-
ed to go and dared his uncle to put
him out. The elder Elbarone attempt
ed to do SO and a free fight ensued.
The Italian weapon, the stilleto, was
mashed in an instant and soon every
BODY IN the car seemed to be mixed
up in the fracas.
Order was finally restored and it
was found that almost every one bore
marks of battle. The elder Elbarone
was cut SO badly that he had to be
taken to Miles City, where a doctor
sewed up several gashes in different
parts OF his anatomy. Four others
were wounded ever worse, it is said,
but they were permitted to remain in
the car, which has been turned into a
temporary hospital. One of the wound
ed was stabbed in the stomach, an
other in the lung. while the others
have holes in their backs, heads, faces
and sides.

WILL not
Bever and Morse to Abide by Official
Count.


From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
1t has been apparently settled that
there will be no contest Of the official
count by the board Of county com
missioners as regards the tie vote be.
tween Morse and Bever for repre-.
sentative in the lower house of the
legislature. In view of that fact it is
almost a certainty that Governor
Toole will issue a proclamation call.
ing for a new election.
In accordance with law County
Clerk Carwile has certified the vote
of the county to the state canvassing
board and there the matter will rest
until the first Monday in December,
when the returns will be opened and
the governor will take official notice
OF a vacancy existing in the legisla-
tive body from this county. TIE gov
ernor is required to give 10 days no.
tice for a special election.
The election under the most favor
able circumstances could net be held
until about the middle of December
and in the meantime the voters of
the two political parties in the county
will have ample time to determine
whom they will nominate for the Of
fee.
1t is authoritatively stated that Mr..
Morse, late candidates for the office on
the democratic ticket, will accept a
denomination if it is the wish of his
party in the county that he shall again
enter the race. Whether Mr.. Bever
again aspires for the honor on the re-
publican side is not known. That
gentleman is i'll at his home and could
not be seen at the time of the writing
of this article.
The election will be conducted like
a general election, except that there
will be no registration of voters. The
registry books used in the election
two weeks ago will be used at the
special election.

lots and thereby gave the society its
present 10 full lots.
Then resuming the thread of his
narrative as it applied to the church
proper, he said that May 10, 1882, a
little, weather-beaten, dust covered
man had arrived in Billings, coming
in a one hourse rig, and introduced
himself as a minister, the Rev. B. f.
Stuart, who said he had been SEN out
by the Congregational Home Mission
airy society of New York to begin
work in the new town. Mr.. Camp said
he showed him the letter he had re-
ceived from Mr.. Billings and an
nounced himself as prepared to Join
Mr.. Shuart as a Congregationalist.
The outcome was that May "a. 1882,
the Congregational church of Billings
was organized by Colonel l.. Whitney.
the Rev. Mr.. Shuart and Mr.. Camp.
Colonel Whitney, Judge Alexander
Fraser and Mr.. Camp were elected
trustees for the first six months. In
corporation papers were prepared and
recorded and the Congregational
church of Billings became an actual
ity.
Four days later, May %, the first
services were held in a building in
course of erection in South Twenty
sixth street. After that services were
conducted wherever it was possible to
obtain a room, until early in the fall
OF the same rear when a temporary
church building was erected. The
temporary church was built at a cost
of about $1,000 and was largely paid
by the citizens, among the most
liberal donors to the. fund being some
of the saloon men. The Ladies' Aid
society also contributed literally.
After the society had been organic
ed Mr.. Shuart correspondent further
with Mr.. Billings and an architect of
Minneapolis prepared plans for a
building. They were submitted to
Mr.. Billings, who approved of them,
but when contractors began to figure
the building it was found that to
follow the plans would involve an out
lay of no less than $4,000. Again
Mr.. Billings was communicated with
and he instructed the trustees to pro-
coed, as he would make good the de-
iciency. The Northern Pacific Rail
road company CAV free transporta-
ton to the society for all building
material, furniture, etc.
AS before stated, the Rev. Mr..
Stuart vas the first minister the So
ciety had. He resigned in April, 1888,
but continued to preach until No
vember when the Rev. MI. S. A. Wal
lace came. November IS, the church
was dedicated. The Rev. Mr.. H. c..
of Fargo preached the dedi-
cation sermon and was assisted in
the ceremonies by Mr.. Shuart and Mr..
Wallace. The latter gentleman re-
NAMED with the church until Novem-
Der, 1891, eight years, when he re-
signed and was succeeded by the Rev.
Mr.. c. H.. Cook, who resigned in Feb
ruary, 1894. The following month
Rev. Mr.. P. B. Jackson was in
stalled as pastor and continued his
pastorate until March 1897, when the
present minister, the Rev. Mr.. w. d.
Clark, was called.
So well has the society ]prospered
that for the last four years it has
been self-sustaining, owns a parson-
age and is without a cent of indebted
ness.
