NATURAL SOAP FACTORY.
CIeansing Substance OOzes From the
Ground in Arizona.

The remarkable discovery of a cleans
ing fluid has been made in the mountains
north of Phoenix by a party OF pros
pectors. 1t is a geyser Of natural soap,
and three claims which have been lOcat ted
are called on the records of this county
soap geysers.' One geyser measures
fifteen feet in diameter, and the fluid is
filled with a grey substance which re-
sembles putty.
Several hundred pounds OF the solid
matter was brought to Phoenix. where
it was treated thoroughly for its cleans
ing properties. II was found 20 be an
excellent quality of soap, and removed
dirt, grease, or tar from cloth, and is
said to clean silk or woolen materials
without injuring the texture OF the stuff
The geysers flow continually and the
supply seems ineHhaustible. The story
OF the prospectors was at first regarded
with considerable amusement but after
the quality of the substance thrown out
by the geyser was ascertaincd, local
capitalists entered INTO an agreement to
furnish money for the development OF
this natural soap wonder. Chemists have
not entirely determined the properties of
the geyser's discharge. The promoters
declare that a new and novel manufac-
ture Of soap will spring from this dis
coyery.-San Antonio Express.

FAMILY CHEWED GUM.
How a Wisconsin BOY Gave His Sis
ter u Christmas Present,


The inventive genius of a Milwaukee
boy, coupled with mechanical skill of
high order, gave to his little sister a
Christmas present of great beauty and
originality and incidentally made for the
whole family lot of trouble which they
now laugh over, but which at the time
assumed the nature of very serious
trial.
With the aid Of scroll saw and
sharp knife he fashioned complete set
oil dolls furniture out of his fathers CT
gar boxes, just as hundreds OF other
boys have done. The application OF the
inventive faculty and the trouble came
in the putting together Of this set OF
furniture.
Instead of using glue or tacks or other
ordinary means OF Joining the pieces to-
gether every single bit of this set IL
held in place by the application of ordi
nary chewing gum. The gum was chewed
after the time honored fashion and ap-
piled while moist, and when II hardened
the joints were as firm as they could
possibly have been made by glue or nails
And then the ornaments, like the knobs
on q brass bedstead, consisted OF little
balls of gum, hard as nails. which, after
they had been gilded and the woodwork
vanished, msde designs of real beauty.
But the trouble O. it," sighed his
mother in telling friend TO whom she
was showing the pretty set about It's
manufacture. DO you know for three
whole days that blessed boy had every
member of the family chewing gum for
dear life during every minute they were
in the house At first it was fun. then IT
became a positive trial, and my Jaws and
those of all the family ache now at even
the recollection of 1t. You can have no
idea what work II was, but the boy in
sisted and we had to humor him. but i
have told him that If he ever brings any
more gum into the house ! will chastise
him."-Chicago Chronicle.

AS in other matters OF dress,
footwear fashions come and go
with every changing season, and
particular people are ever inter
ested in seeing society's latest
DEGREES.
To keep the pace with varying
stvle requires constant alertness
as we'll as fine discrimination. and
the one aim of our business is to
see that Washington is always in
the foremost rank in exclusive and
absolutely correct styles-that we
are successful is demonstrated by
the fact that fully three-fourths OF
Washington society people buy
their footwear here.
The numerous weddings. teas.
receptions, balls, and other events
in social life call forth our keenest
efforts-and we are pleased to say
that our showing of appropriate
footwear for this season in all OF
the correct forms excels any dis
play of the past. Especially Is
this true of our fine assortment of
slippers, which embraces kid and
satin in all of the new shades and
colorings to match fashionable
gown materials. as we'll as dainty
patent feathers trimmed with eX-
uuisite buckles, Nc.
The new emanations i'll eXclu-
sive footwear for golting. riding,
shooting. hunting. fencing, skat-
ing, are all here, and we are per
fectly safe in saying that neither
New York nor Philadelphia can
present Il more comprehensive
display of ultra fashionable de
signs.
Careful consideration by sales
men of long experience is given to
mail orders. and if size and width
are stated we rarely fail TO fill the
order as desired.

Championship Series Began Last
Night on Golden Eagle Alleys.

The new bowling league organized last

League, being composed OF employees of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,

from which the members hail, and all
games will be played on the Golden Eagle
Bowling Club alleys.
The New York and st. Louis teams
played the opening set of three games
last night and New York handily won

An old man would not believe he could
hear his wife talk at a distance of five
miles by telephone. His better half'
was in a country shop several miles
away, where there WAS a telephone, and
the skeptic was also in a place where
was a similar instrument. On being told
how to operate II, he walked boldly up
and shouted, "Hulloa, Sarah At that
instant lightning struck the telephone
wire and knocked the man down. AS he
scrambled to his Feet he excitedly cried

lowing places in which to hold its
sessions:
South McAlester, in the Chickasaw
Nation, as the principal place, and
will hold sessions at Atoka when 1t
is to the interest of the litigants and
other parties interested to do
so; provided II can secure the
building there, now used as a place
for holding the United States court,
without cost to the government. OF
course no session will be held there
when the United States court is being
held at that place.

The Mexican soIl Weevil.

S. II. Copeland. who lives five miles
northwest of Ardmore, came into our
office yesterday with what he called a
Mexican boil weevil. Mr.. Copeland
formerly lived in the Texas coast
country and says he left that country
on account of the ravages made on
the cotton crop by this weevil. The
Mexican boil weevil now infests
Southern and Eastern Texas, and the
fears of the cotton men have reduced
the estimates of this years cotton
crop 100000 bales.
She weevil is an insect larger than
the house fly and is very destructive
TO the cotton boil. Mr.. Copeland says
there were more weevils here last
year than this, and he spprehends no
danger.

FIGURES MIsLEp HIM.

The bank deposits Of the United
States are $s.535, ,O53, 1876 This is cited
as an evidence Of the wealth Of the
country. That the country is rich, Is
true. but such figures as the above
which are so often cited, by no means
prove IT,
one has only TO recall that all the
money in the country, which is $2,-
264. .932.45. would make only small
part Of this magnificent total.
The deposits shown are accurate.
but are no indication Of the amount
OF circulating medium.
How then are they obtained Mere
iy by counting the same dollar many
times.
For example dollar is placed in
a bank at Cashion and credited as a
deposit. II Is forwarded TO bank
at Guthrie. where il is credited as a
deposit. Again II is forwarded to
Kansas City. where 1t is credited as
deposit. It is then forwarded to
Chicago. credited and forwarded to
New York, so that It has passed
through five five banks in each Of
which II appears as deposit and
counts in The total bank deposits as
Ave dollars. Yet II Is the same dollar
and no real wealth has been added
or subtracted from the country by
the process.
In campaign times, when such fig
ures are quoted as glibly by the ora
tors, It may not be amiss to indulge
in little Independent analysis of
their real meaning.
Figures will not lie but they may
be used in telling a lie and a deceit
full one at that. unless they are prop
erly used.-Leader.
