Syrian Asphalt.

Asphalt is found. in the provinces Of
Syria ON the banks of the Dead sea,
floating on the surface of its waters.
Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom
Of the sea and driven toward the
shores, especially to the east. The mar
ratives of the Greek and Roman his
torian to the effect that asphalt as
small islands was upheld by the salt
water and driven over the surface of
the sea are without doubt true. The
asphalt, and generally the oriental or
Egyptian, is pure and expensive, and
used principally in the manufacture of
q certain kind of varnish, but for gen.
eral purposes, owing to its brittleness
as well, is useless in the asphalt in
dustry.-American Asphalt Journal.

Prosperous County.

The assessed valuation Of Steele
county for 1902, as equalized by the
county board Of equalization, aggre-
gates $2,s25,360, of which s2,22s, los is
real estate and $597,252 personal
property. Adding the railroad and
other assessments, which will be
made by the state board. the aggre-
gate will undoubtedly exceed $780,
600. Steele county is in excellent
shape financially, being one of four
counties in North Dakota which has
no bonded Indebtedness. The county
treasurer's annual financial state
ment for the year ending June 80,
1902, shows a cash balance of $12,-
$1,000 in all county funds. The coun-
ty tax levy this year is the lowest
since the county was organized, be-
ing only about As mills for all pur-
poses.

cocoANuTs FOR THIRST.
A Northern MAN.. Experience In &c.
Vincent Convinced Hin Of
Their Value.

During his recent visit to the vol.
cano stricken islands Of the West In
dies Tribune reporter was told that
the water from the cocoanut fresh
from the tree is the best thirst quench-
err in the tropics. During an all day
ride over the dusty road from Kings
ton to Georgetown, st. Vincent, the re-
porter had q chance to test the truth
Of this statement, says the New York
Tribune.
For various reasons it was deemed
unwise to drink the ordinary water,
and when beyond the reach of dis
titled water from the Dixie, thirst be-
came an interesting fellow traveller.
The heat was awful, and volcanic ashes
in the air parched She throat and made
life almost uncomfortable. Sucking green
lines was failure, wine was too heat
ing, and soda and other soft drinks
only aggravated thirst. Eight miles
out of Georgetown a stop was made
ut small plantation, where several
trees bore heavy burden of yellow
ing cocoanuts. Sixpence sent black
boy to the top of a tree, and after he
had scared miscellaneous collection
of lizards, chameleons, scorpions and
spiders out of the bunch of nuts, he
twisted off six and threw them down.
Our driver chopped off the end Of each
nut with . machete and we squeezed
the juice Of a green lime into the wa
ter within. The drink was warm, but
palatable and satisfying.
The party had gone without lunch
con, and after drinking the water the
nut was laid open with blow of the
machate and the meat was eaten, which
was Like the white of a soft-boiled egg.
The members Of the party were
neither hungry nor thirsty for the re-
mainder of the journey, and felt con-
tent-a difficult matter for a New
Yorker, 800 miles south of the Tropic
Of Cancer, ut the end of May.

Hopeful.

Owners of large bodies of land west
of the Missouri river see several for
tunes in sight if the Milwaukee. road
carries out it's intention to build
across the Missouri river, into Mon
tana and on to the Pacific coast. This
land has been bought in large tracts
by syndicates of local spectators, at
a low price, and has been put on the
market for colonization purposes.
The chief objection to the land is it's
distance to market. With railroad
passing through the country, its val
ne would be largely enhanced.

Wandering Tots.

The family of Louis Larson, living
west of Kenmare, were very much
surprised when two little tots of
about three or four years Of age came
to the door and said they were hum
cry and sleepy. They were given
something to eat and then put to bed,
after being questioned as to who
they were and where they had come
from. Nothing could be learned from
them and a party was formed at once
to look up their parents. Their home
was finally found about four miles
from where the children had stopped.
They had strayed away and wander
ed four miles before being stopped
and had gone about two days.

The State Fair.

The management of the State Fair
Association is getting we'll along with
it's program for the annual fair to be
held here during the week commenc-
ing Sept. %. A large amount will be
appropriated for races. The directors
have set aside $4,000 as a starter for
these attractions. Baseball games of
a high order will also be among the
drawing cards. The good crops insure
the best agricultural display ever
had. The increase in the creamery in
dustry of this region will attract
manufacturers of creamery goods.
Several exhibits of high-grade cattle,
horses and sheep will be on hand.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Houston of Fulton and Kiburn Re-
sign Labor Committee.


Atlanta, Nov 6.-Quite a
little sensation was sprung
Quite a little sensation was sprung
in the house yesterday by the resi5.
nation first of Mr.. Houston, of Fulton,
and then Mr.. Kilbugn, of Bibb, both
the committee on labor and labor statis'
tics. Both members, who are strong
labor organization men, positively re-
fused to serve with the committee in
anyemanner whatever.
No reason was given for this action
on the floor of the house, though Mr.
Houston said he would state his rea
sons later on Mr.. Houston gave out
a brief interview, however, in which
he stated that his action was due to
the fact that the committee had been
selected with a view to bringing in an
adverse report on the child labor bill.
The general tax bill introduced in the
house yesterday by Mr. Reid of Camp.
bell, chairman of the ways and means
committee, contemplates a number Of
interesting changes in the general
scheme of taxation, particularly In
the taxation of number of businesses
or callings which have not been taxed
heretofore.
One of the most interesting features
in the bill is the taxing of pool sellers
or "bookies," as they are known In the
vernacular, and of midways to an ex-
tent which, if approved by the legis'
lature and made a law, will probably
do away with both of these attractions
at state and interstate fairs.
Another feature of the bill is dou.
BILE or a triple license tax on pawn
brokers according to their methods OF
doing business.
Another new feature of the bill is
that which puts a special tax OF 5000
on every foreign corporation, not spe.
cifically named in the bill, which opens
a branch office in the state.
Among the important bills intro.
duced in the house Yesterday were two
by Mr.. Carswell, of Wilkinson, provid.
ing for certain changes in the pension
laws which were strongly recommend
ed by Pension Commissioner ]. w,
Lindsay.
One of these bills provides for spe'
cial pension examiner in each congres'
sional district in the state, who shall
be paid salary of $500 a year from
lie state treasury. 1t shall be the eX
aminer's duty to examine all applica
tions for pensions under the disability
pension law and report on their condi
tion before the name of such applicant
can be placed on the pension rolls.
The other bill provides for the ap
| pointment of commission to prepare
roster of all the soldiers, sailors ant
marines from Georgia who took part
in the war between the states between
1861 and 1865. This list is much
needed for the guidance of the pension
J commissioner and would be valuable
as well from historical standpoint

Best School Of Practice.

such excellence that I was able in my
report in 1896 to state:
"The personnel Of the army was
never In better condition"
'"lnls was proven to be true by the
fortitude, skill and heroism displayed
in every serious campaign on every
field OF mortal combat wherever the
army has ben engaged in any part Of

During that time many changes have
occurred and the army has been large

service Of the senior officers, their
experience in organizing, discipling, III.
