BIG BARN DESTROYED
lightning Struck the Barn of Hans
Lange in Union Twp. and Was
Completely Destroyed.

VIM. M. Herbert and a party of
landseekers saw an immense fire in
central Union township last Friday
about 9 o'clock, in the destruction
Of a very large barn on the farm Of
Hans Lange. There was something
Of a storm down in that part of the
county and the immense barn was
struck by lightning. 1t burned like
tinder and as there was no water
handy the flames burned on with
nothing to impede their progress.
The neighbors in the surrounding
country focked to the home of sMr.
Lahge and saved what property they
could, as he was not at home at the
time. The horses, wagons and
buggies were taken out before the
fire gained much headway. There
were 900 bushels of oats and 60 tons
Of hay in the barn that were con-
sumed. There were also twelve stacks
Of wheat that stood within short
distance Of the barn that were in
danger Of taking fire should the
wind change and the neighbors
went to work to move it to a safe
distance.
The barn was 6OxlOO feet in size
and was the largest and most COM
plete barn in that part of the
country, and was practically new. 1t
could not be learned whether he
carried any insurance on the
structure. 1t will be a heavy loss to
Mr.. Lange.

The Bark of a Dog.

Strangely. enough, barking, which
seems to us so characteristic Of the
dog, is not one Of its natural sounds at
all. No wild dogs bark. and, what is
more remarkable, if dogs are isolated
for long time from their human mas
ters they seem to lose the faculty.
Thus number of dogs turned loose
on Juan Fernandez island were found
In thirty three years to have complete
~ lost the habit, but to be able to re.
acquire it. On the other hand, wolf
puppies, as well as young wild dogs,
II reared among tame ones, readily
learn to bark. 1t almost seems as II
the sound were differentiated from the
bowling and yelping natural to the
wild canidm in order to communicate
with man and serve his purpose. It is
worth observing that the habit can be
eliminated when desired, as in some
breeds Of dogs favored by poachers.

SIOUX CITY is COMING.
Sioux City Will Send a Delegation
to Mitchell's Corn Palace on
Snecial Train. Oct. a.

President Gale was in Sioux City
Saturday and Sunday and interested
the business men in sending delega-
tion to Mitchell during corn palace
week. Concerning Mr.. Gales visit
the Journal of Monday had the
following:
L. o. Gale, of Mitchell, S. d.,
president OF the Mitchell corn palace,
which will be open to the public
September "a to OctoberS8 inclusive,
was in the city yesterday consulting
with Commissioner q. j. McVann
relative to arranging for a Sioux
City excursion on October 4.
Commissioner McVann encouraged
the idea, and an excursion will be
arranged on this day. Tt has been
several years since q corn palace has
time enthusiasm for that. kind of an
is one Of the best cities within the
do business, and the excursion will
undoubtedly be great success.
Mr.. Gale came with the intention
while here, Of securing portions OF
the Jabour show to exhibit at itch
ell during the carnival, but finds that
the show will leave Immediately
after the carnival for San Francisco.
However, he says that A. b Beall
promised to assist him IN securing
some interesting attractions. and
will return well satisfied in this re-
spect as in Others.
This will be the fourth year of the
existence Of the Mitchell corn palace

WHERE PAIN MOST HURTS.
Extreme Sensititeness of the Fifth
and Dental Nerves.

Extreme Sensitiveness of the Fifth
and Dental Nerves.
Which part Of the human body is
the most sensitive to pain?
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between Irritation and pain. rri-
tation is not pain, but only a frequent
cause of it. Thus, crumb lodged in
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
faced violent irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often results in actual
pain. So, too, fly or speck Of dust in
the eye sets up violent irritation and
Inflammation, followed by acute pain.
OF the surface Of the body, the finger
tips and the end of the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, burn on the
fingers is much more painful than one
on the back would be, while one on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful, as a
rule, save as regards the surface in
Jury. OF pains not caused by external
injuries, neuralgia of the fifth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin Of the
head and face, is the most intense. It
has frequently driven people mad for
the time being, and sufferers have been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
In desperate attempts to relieve it. The
rupture Of the branches Of the dental
nerve in tooth drawing also causes
agony so intense that it has been stated
that no human being could endure II

Trading on Niger.

A recent traveller on the Niger writes:
II was anxious to buy some fruit from
q native woman who came down to the
ship, and to this end produced a
handful of coppers which I had
brought out from England. first
showed her five, then six, seven and
eight, but she pust-@ them all aside
In most unceremonious manner.
More by way Of a joke than anything
else, I then proSuced a three penny
piece, which she at once accepted, Civ
ing me in return just twice as much as
I had asked for my eight coppers. .
also discovered that she had great
partiality for white glass bottles. I
happened to have .,lout half a dozen
empty soda water bottles, for which
she gave me the same number Of eggs.
I afterward found that any white glass
bottle had this purchasing power al
over Nigeria. The natives send them
to Bida, where they are melted and
made into rings about three or four
inches in diameter, to be worn either
aB arm1ets or anklets.'

DYED Coffee Beans.


In Germany it is not permissible to
adulterate coffee. A wholesale grocer
was recently tried in Hamburg, the
charge against him being that he had
adulterated large quantity of Brazil
ian coffee, with the object Of selling it
as Porto Rico coffee. His counsel adj
,mitted that he had changed the .orig-
inal color of the coffee, but pointed out
that he had made the change before
the coffee was roasted. and as the ex-:
perts who had been summoned ex-s
pressed the opinion that it was per-
fectly lawful to adulterate beans,
though entirely unlawful to adulterate
roasted coffee, the court promptly or
dered verdict Of not guilty. ".
In this case the adulteration consist
ed in making the beans of a greenish
blue color and in pressing fine flour
between the clefts. The rosy hue
which characterizes Brazilian coffee
was thus obliterated.
According to the experts, beans Of
coffee. have been artifcially colored in
Hamburg for the last forty years, and
if the practice is to be stopped, though
they insist that the public is not
duped, since it is not the color which
gives quality to coffee, suits will have
to be instituted against all the grocers
Of the city.

GETTING STONE FOR BRIDGE
Other Evidence That the Milwaukee
is Getting Ready for Exten-
sion Across Reservation.

The following taken from the Sioux
City Journal gives more evidence
that the Milwaukee road is getting
ready for its extension to the Black
Hills country across the Sioux
reservation:
E. B. Wilbur, of Chamberlain, S.
D.. formerly a county judge Of
Dakota county. in Nebraska, opposite
South Sioux City Argus, was in
Sioux City yesterday and informed
friends that the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st Paul Railway company had
been unloading stone at Chamberlain
| for the Eiers of the bridge which
will be constructed across the
Missouri river at that point. Mr..
Wilbur said large quantity Of stone
for this purpose had been unloaded.
"There isn't any que tion that the
Milwaukee will build a bridge at
Chamberlain Mr.. Wilbur said.
|"Not only has stone in large
quantities been unloaded at
Chamberlain but engineers for
several weeks have been making
soundings of the river with a view
to finding the best place to sink the
piers. The chief engineer few days
ago made the statement that a
good firm base would be truck at a
lpoint forty feet below the bed Of the
river.

MITCHELL SOUTH DAKOTA FRIDAY
IT'S NOT JOHN. COOK
The Gazette Gets the Wrong john as
the Democratic Nominee for
Representative.
Representative.

John Cook, who has always lined
up with the policies of the republic
can party, is being joked good. deal
by friends since the last issue Of the
Gazette. Bfer. Johnston in giving
the names Of the candidates who
were dominated by the democratic
fusion convention stated that John
Cook was nominated for representa-
tive in the legislature. Who Brer.
Johnston was evidently thinking of
was John Colyin, the gentleman who
was nominated by the democrats
For representative. The Gazette man
was at the convention and how he
happened to dig up John Cook is
more than can be imagined. The
Ethan Enterprise, a branch of the
Gazette, fell into the same error
land got Mr.. Cook on the democratic
ticket.
While the Gazette is explaining
to its readers it's inaccurate report of
the democratic convention it can also
inform its readers that w. A. Barber,
who was nominated for superinten-
dent Of schools has declined to accept
the nomination at the hands of the
democratic party, inasmuch as he
is a republican and told the democrats
that he could not permit his name
to be used in connection with the
party. The Gazette man knew it
long before his paper was printed,
He also might inform his readers that
Joseph Koch, who was nominated
for commissioner of the first district,
also declines to run. Chairman
Goody ykoontz, who is at the head OF
the county central committee, states
that a new convention will be called
of that district and nominate. a
person in the place of Mr.. Koch.

Theater supper Parties.

-
S''No, we don't encourage supper par
ties," said the manager Of the contin-
uous performance theater, "but we are
powerless to prevent them. They come
early in the afternoon and camp out
until the last turn at night. See the
fat woman going in with the basket
and the three kids? Well, she's a reg
ular. LII that basket you will probably
find a lot of ham sandwiches, some
pickles, an orange apiece and perhaps
tumbler of jelly. About 6 o'clock,
they will consume this provender and.
be prepared to enjoy the evening per-
formance, despite the fact that they
have already seen it in the afternoon.
'Chasers' have no effect upon the sup
per parties. A bum song and dance
team will go on and do their worst to
drive out the sitters in order to make
room for the evening audience, but it's
like pouring water on a ducks back
The people who stay for supper will
stand for anything" Philadelphia
