DAKOTA'S WIND CAVE.
A REMARKABLE NATURAL CURIOSITY
TO BE MADE A SHOW PLACE.


Dakota's famous wind cave has
lately been acquired by the govern
ment and is to be made show place.
1t well deserves its name. for the log
cabin built over its mouth has had to
be fastened to the ground by heavy
timbers and the logs mortised and
pinned to prevent the building from
being raised from its foundations and
being hurled skyward by the immense
force Of the wind from within.
The first explorer OF the cave dis
covered that when the mouth was
closed by heavy timbers the motion
of the wind ceased and person inside
did not feel it except at a few partic-
ular points. 1t was for this reason
that the cabin was built over the en-.
trance, with an inner door fitting
closely against the portals Of the cave
itself in such way that the air was
completely blocked. ,fs-
A sightseer, who afterward sent an
account OF his experiences to daily
paper came to the door Of the little
hut and heard roaring sound ema-
mating from the earth, followed by
such Il slamming OF a door that the
building shook. 1t was nothing but
the opening of the inner door to al.
low the exit OF "a guide, but it had a
terrible sound.
Within the cabin the visitors saw
nothing but cupboard, from which
the two guides provided them with
candles in the candlesticks attached
to strips OF wood. The party thel
} formed in line, as the inner door coult
be opened only long enough to permi
one person to pass through at a time
II it were kept open the wind woul'
tear the building to pieces.
A guide went first. Selling the ba
! fastening the door, he turned it slow
ly to near the end OF the clamp tha
held it, then giving it quick wrench
darted through the door as the force
within sent it open. As soon as ht
was inside he siezed an iron ring ant
adding his strength to that Of tht
guide who had remained without
slammed the door, With one mar
on the inside and one nut, it was
much eaiser for the guides to handle
the door, and each member Of the
party ran through in turn as the dool
opened.
Forty miles North Of the entrance
is another and almost equally beauti
fuI cavern called Crystal cave. Tht
guides believe that some day it viii
be found that one is continuation
of tile other.
Some parts of the wind cave arr
= 5000 feet below the surface Of tn
earth. All kinds OF beautiful ant
weird effects are gained by burnini
' lights within one or another Of tn
rooms. Stalactites cover walls AM
y ceiling In many Of the caverns, AM
Z the cave is full enough Of terrors an
: delights to satisfy the most exactin
cave hunters.

DUNB DEATH.

o death, what terror holds thee dumb!
Is it the serpent's equal dread,
Or does remorse. when by the tomb,
Make thee repent the unreturning
dead.
No man by man in battle bound
May quarter with his silence give;
In speech, o death, the truce be found
And thou remain to death and 1 to
o solemn foe, of awful mein,
Nor any craven thou, be brave
And with the doom'd some converse
deign
Ere thou consign'st them to the sodden
grave.
As cattle by an instinct shun
The buckeye, ,sman nor courteth thee
Yet could he with his thought have
done,
And tear from thee word, it peace
might be.

THE CUR OUTLAWED.
Southern Farm Magazine,

Southern Farm Magazine
The Supreme Court OF Mississippi
has given death blow, it is hoped to
worthless ours. The particular dog
in the case was not regarded as worth.
less by its owner, inasmuch as he
sued the railroad company and oo-
tanned judgement in lower court
for 800 damages to his dog by train.
The supreme court, however, reversed
this judgement, and 10 doing so an
nounced that not only was the dog
an agile creature, able, If it had sense
enough to live to get out Of the way
Of train, but also that it was of un.
certain ancestry and that the vast
majority OF dogs had no pecuniary
value whatever. The court held that
dogs should not be allowed to block
the arteries Of commerce. Coming
from such high authority, this de.
cision ought to encourage in their
efforts public spirited individuals,
who for years have been striving to
reduce the number of yellow dogs in
their respective communities. Leg.
islatures may trihe with the subject.
They may pass bogus acts, designed
to quiet anti.dog agitation without
interfering with the great mass OF
their dog.owning constituents. Ream
after ream Of learned articles may be
written comparing the values Of dogs
and sheep. But they are as nauRht
compared with the solemn assertion
Of the highest tribunal OF q Southern
State that the great mass OF dog
have no pecuniary value, and pre-
} sumably cannot be made the pasis 70
a successful lawsuit. This brings th
question right down to the prope
7 point--the man with his gun.

Here Is what Private John Allen
said Of the Mississippi Valley at a
Chicago banquet the otller night:
THE Mississippi Valley is great
empire. No river in the world drains
so rich a valley. 1t can produce
enough to feed the whole world,
enough cottnn and Wool to clothe the
whoIe world, enough oil to light the
whole world, enough money To carry
IN the commerce Of the whole world.
Better men never rude better horses
over finer lands to geo iairer wnmer
than those who live In the Mississippi
Valley. The delta OF the Mississippi
contains the cream Ut all the grea1
valley that has been washed dowl
there for ages. It Is the richest spo
In the wnrld. II Is being reclaimed
and It's possibilities are unlimited.

NO WONDER HE WENT CRAZY.

A man confined In an asylum was
asked by a visitor what caused his
insanity, and replied as follows: II
met q young widow with a STEP
daughter, and the widow and l were
married. Then my father, who was
widower, met my step-daughter and
married her. That made my wife the
mother-in-law Of her father.in.law,
and made my step-daughter my moth.
er and my father my son. Then my
step.mother, the step-daughter Of
my wife had q son. The boy, OF
course was my brother, because he
was my fathers son. He was also
the son of my wife's step.daughter,
and therefore her grandson. That
made me grandfather to my step
brother, Then my wife had q con.
My mother-ln.law, tho sister OF my
son, is also his grandmother. because
he Is her step.lon's child. W father
is the brother.in-law OF my child, b.
cause it, step-slster Il hls Wife /

dictmrnts against ex-Treasurer Robt.
Showers, Capt. +. L. RaifOrd, his
cashier and Messrs. Phil. A. Rush
and John Armistead. on the charge of
embezzlement of the States funds.
Messrs. Rush and Armistead are
charged with being particeps crimi~
mis- in the recent shortagcof $l07 900
unearthed by Governor Longino,
which was afterwards replaced and
resulted In the suspension and final
Resignation" Of Treasurer Showers.
The return OF the indictments ere
ated considerable surprise as heroic
efforts were made to prevent the
bringing OF true bills.
The prosecution desires to secure a
trial at this term OF court, but it Is
understood that the defendants will
plead for continuance until the next
term, giving bond for their appear
ance.
The report Of the Grand Jury was

ment given spirited lambasting fol
