Dan Bierwagon, a rancher from Les

which will go forty bushels to the acre,
and has brought in fine samples of that
grain, and with it potatoes which will
weigh two pounds apiece, and onions
which will weigh over a pound each.
Mr.. Bierwagen was a former Doug
las county farmer, and is raising as
good crops at Lesline, in Stanley coun-
ty, as he raised in Douglas county.
There has been a rush OF cattle to
the market from Pierre the past two
weeks, about 700 cars going out in
that time. II is estimated that the
shipments this year win be rs per cent
in exces Of last year, which wa the
heaviest shipping year up to that time.
Many of the ranch owners are COM
PEELED to reduce their herds on account
of the settlement of the range country,
and are shipping as close as possible
this year. There will be another ship
ment the first Of the coming month,
which will about close the work OF

CHAMPION MONEY FINDER.
philadelphia Man Who Has Found Two Million Dollars, and the
 Owners of It.

Isaac Banks, of this city, claims to have found and returned to the own CTS more valuables and money than any other man living, reports Phila- deiphia exchange. A good many men have found valuabIes and not kept them, but Mir. Banks figures up that he has found $2,oo0, 900, and that every bit of this has gone back to the owner. He did not find this in a lump sum. nor did he find check for the S2, ,OO0,- 900. He made his finds, during the course of long life and he was just as fortunate in finding the owner each time.
 It was not all cash, but nearly all of it was egotiabIe-negotia bonds and stocks and diamonds and pearls and sapphires. watches, rings and tfaras, things which are surely profita- ble enough. And Mir. Banks found, :, too, a good deal of cash--suficient, indeed, had he kept it, to have made him rich man. But of the whole $2,- 100000 not one penny did he keep.
 It would seem that Mir. Banks must have gotten, for finding so much money, some very large and generous rewards. These are the rewards that he received for restoring vaIuables worth $s,0o0,00 to their owners: Tn cash, $50; in presents (g1oves, neckties, books, etc.). $100.

EPHCHAMBERLAIN
5 the English Colonial Minister
 Ahead of His Time?
He Has worked Strenuously for the Building of a Greater England Some of the Things He
 Has Accomplished.

It has been said that when fGr Jo- seph Chamberlain took the seal of the colonial office in 1895, that little Eng landism was at its last gasp and the new, governments expectation of life was phenomenally high. And in view of the present convulsive agitation which has ben raised there by MT. Chamberlain latest tariff proposals, which violate so radically the free trade traditions of the nation the ques- tion arises whether or not little Eng landism has yet finished that last gasp and is really dead. And the suspicion is beginning to rise in the minds of some Englishmen, at least, that MT. Balfour's declaration, made months ago, that "Mr. Chamberlain is the greatest of the colonial ministry, and his administration of the colonial off, flee by far the greatest in British his- tory," was rather more eulogistic than accurate.
 MT. Chamberlain, in connection with his administration of the colonial of- flee, has come to be recognized as 8 man of advanced ideas of a most rad fcal type, and to possess the boldness and persistency to attempt their real ization. He is a Greater Englander by deep conviction, and not through TO- mantic ideaHsm. His dream of im- perial federation has found physical basis in economic necessity. He has believed it's realization practicable, and has consistently and courageous ly followed cut-and-dried plan to
  timately doomed to go down to defeat and his plans, failing of realization, remain as unfinished monuments of splendid audacity," are secrets which the future alone can unfold. . During the eight years of MT. Cham berlain's administration of the co-

lonial office (and by the way, it is in- teresting to note that since 1870 the average tenure of service of the CO., 1onial ministers has been only 21a years), he has obtained an increase of SAustralia's naval. contribution from g 126,ooo to g 24o,ooo annually, and has in addition induced Cape Colony, Natal and New. Foundland to contrib ute together z s8,ooo per annum. He has prevailed upon colonial premiers to make colonial conferences a per manent institution, and has thus es- tablished the rudiments of an imperial council. Space forbids further emu meration but suffice it to say that for more valuable than the practical achievements has been the effect of his high enthusiasm for imperial ideals, his warm sympathy with CO., lonial aspirations, and his untiring and inspiring insistence on the essen tial unity of the empire, and its tre- mendous destiny. The world has stared in amazement at the sacrifices made by the colonies during the late war-sacrifces, which, on, the basis of population and financial resources were estimated to be equal to a con- tribution of 1,5e7, ,OoO men and g ss,- 725, 900 by the mother country. ,
 MT. Cham berlain, early in his career as colonial secretary, declared that, imperial federation appeals to the highest sentiments of patriotism as we'll as to our material interests" and it is to this conviction that his latest efforts are due. As early as 1896, at the Canada club dinner. he, outlined his scheme, declaring first the universal desire and necessity to be for closer union. Secondly, that it could be most hopefully approached from the com mercial side, and in the third place, "a true Zollverein for the empire, al- though it would involve the impost Of duties against foreign countries and would be in that respect derogatioD from the high principles of free trade and from the practice of the United Kingdom up to the present time, would still be proper subject for dis cussion, and might probably lead to satisfactory arrangements if the col onies on their part were willing to con- slider it."
 Not only does MT. Chamberlain be- Eeve in lis unifying mission for a greater England and in imperial reel procity, but he believes in himself as the one to push these ideals to realiza- ton. It is said he looks upon himself as the Bismarck of England Is it any wonder then that England has come to recognize him as the modern man, and has learned to look to him for it's pro- gressive spirit, and that expansiveism which means new era for the nation :? MT. Chamberlain's whole course has been consistent with his high ideals and dreams, and his bold aggression which has steadily worked towards their realization, and his rare adminfs> trative capacity have kept him con- stantIy in the public eye, especially in England, and have won for him a strong following.

BIoominston, H., Has That DisSinc- tfOn and Has Run Out of
 Names for Them.

Bloomington, ILL, should be given the prize, if there is a prize provided in such cases, for being the champion club town in the country, reports the Chicago Tribune. With population of 25,00O people, Bloomington has s5 social organizations. Almost every kind of club ever heard of in the world is to be found in Bloomington. There are women's clubs and history clubs, culture clubs and cooking clubs. card clubs, bowling clubs, dancing clubs, reading circle clubs, musical clubs, church clubs, golfng clubs, outing clubs, and 8 large number that would come under the head of miscellaneous. The fact of there being such an enor- nous number of clubs in one small town has driven the various organiza- tions which have been the latest in forming almost frantic in their at tempt to get good names. Among the various romantic and oddly named clubs in Bloomington are the Jacque Rose Whist club, the Recherche Bow ling and Dancing club, the PhiIadora club, the Shillelah club, the Battenberg Fancy Work club, the Doers' club, tn e Everlasting Friendship club, the Fin Dutzend club, the Fourteen White Car nations, and the Vivian Bowling club. Anybody who knows of any appro- pr1ate club name that is not working would confer 8 favor by boxing it up neatly and forwarding to Blooming ton. Itcan be used there.

A NEW SHAFT OF OLD MINES.

they were worked. The Wadi Allagi was apparently the center of these extensive mining operations, and the old ruins of large city, named Dare hieb, are there It is situated be- tween two ranges of hills, and in these hills the old ancients burrowed for gold.
 The ruins of Darehieb are most in- teresting. The buildings were com prised of slate and stone slabs of ir- regular shapes securely cemepted to- gether by the liberal use of mortar, and there are still several buildings which have not altogether fallen to pieces, although they were probably built two or three thousand years ago. One of these, an old castle, was in sufficient preservation to allow a whole party of mining experts to live in it after clearing it out, and they actually inhabit it at the present mo- ment. .
 This castle, called Darehieb (Dare, beautiful, and hieb, convent), is sit uated on the Wadi Allagi, and has been the depot for all the ancient gold workings of the Allagi gold mines. There are two old castles built of solid slate, three stories high, most strongly built. with portcullis and handsome entrance. The remains of very considerable town surround the old buildings, and on the opposite side of the Wadi are the remains of an old mosque and an ancient ruined H. A. WELLES.

LOWELL STRIKE OFF
Council of Operatives Vote to
 Return to Work.
MILL WORKERS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED
Agents Will Take Back the Old Help They Have Room For and Will Not Discriminate Against
 the Leaders.

LOWELL, Mass, June 22.-The tex tile council has declared the great strike in the Lowell mills at an end. Every union affiliated with the council was represented, and the vote was unanimous. Mule spinners and loom dxers were included in this vote de- spite statements that they would op- pose a return to work. When the meeting was called there was no dis sension. The situation was discussed carefully and with no suggestion of ex- citement. The vote showed every del- egation favorable to a return to work, and the sentiment was that the vote take immediate effect.
 When asked for statement Presi- dent Conroy smilingly said:
 'eWe now worship at the altar of de- feat, but later we shall rise again and conquer"
 Agent William s. Southworth, secre- kary of the agents, said when inter viewed:
 Tt will be impossible to start the bal ance of machinery so as to employ at once all who will come back Running with an incomplete force for three weeks has disturbed the balance that usually exists between the stock and prices in the various deparemtns. A mill may have depleted stock in cer- tain kinds of yarn and for that reason be unable to start all of its looms even R the full complement of help is avail able. It is for the selling agents and the treasurers to decide in view of the market whether we shall attempt to run in full'
 The strike began on March 30 and fn- volved. about 17,O00 operatives. The mills were shut down till June i, when the agents opened the gates. and the majority of the operatives went back 10 work. The strike has cost in wages about $1, ,300,0O0.
 It is understood that the agents will take back all the old help they have room for and will make no discrimina- 'tion against the leaders of the strike movement.
 The high price of cotton precluded any hope of the success of the strikers campaign for a 10 per cent increase.
