Concerned About tue Interest.

Patrick Calhoun, grandson Of John
&. Calhoun, and momber of the
banking firm Of Brown Brcs., tells
some interesting incidents Of ante bel
lum days, one of which relates to
Daniel Webster, says the New York
Times.
II have forgotten the year." said
Mr.. Calhoun recently at the Waldrof,
"but it was when Mr.. Webster was
visiting my grandfather at Columbia,
S. G. At dinner, which was eaten at
3 o'clock in the afternoon, an incau-
tious guest alluded in glowing terms
to the Madeira wine served with the
dessert. He dilatcd on it's age, it's
color, it's boquet, and closed his pane
gyrio by saying:
Mr.. Webster, the interest on q
quart of this wine ut the market price
would pay your fare back to Washing
ton, sir.
''When L'r-.ing for drive soon af-
ter dinner, Mr. Webster put one foot
on the carriage step and remained in
that position so long that Mr.. Calhoun
said solicitously, L hope, sir, that
you are not thinking Of giving up the
ride
F." It's a matter of doubt, Mr.. Cal
houn,' said Webster, with profound
bow, Whether should go on the
ride or remain here and help consume
some more of the interest on the ire
proachable Madeira.

A Boomerang Sermon.

The little English vicar of nexton,
whose objection to High church ritual
ism brought him recently into con-
flict with Bishop Potter in New York
sat one cay in the cafe of the Fifth
Avenue hotel, says -he Boston Post.
A group of reporters surrounded
him, and one Of them said:
"Why don't you try to down ritual
ism, Mr.. Fillingham, with sermons,
rather than with violence2''
The vicar smiled. "Sermons," he
said, shave an effect always, but too
often this effect is the opposite to one
to what the sermonizer intended.
"How do you mean, sir7" the re-
porter asked.
"I'll illustrate to you what I mean, !"
said the vicar. ~ once had q parish
ioner who was Smiser. For this
man's benefit I preached one Sunday
e strong sermon on the necessity Of
charity. or philanthropy sermon on
the duty and JOY Of giving. The mis-
er at whom I gazed often seemed i'm.
pressed.
Next day / met him on the street.
"'Well, john said, what did
you think of yesterdays sermon?'
1T moved me deeply, sir he an
swered. 1t brought home to me so
strongly tho necessity Of giving aims
that, honestly, sir, I've great mind
to become beggar.'

Lockport, ILL.,, it became necessary to
demolish an old mill built Of cement.
The contractors found the mill was
practically built Of indestructive ma
terial, impervious alike to blasting or
drilling, and the projccs of tearing
it down became considerable prob.
lem.
This led TO an investigation inlc the
material from which the old property
had been constructed, Mr. Hayes dis
covering that il was far less difficult
to pulverize the stones and pebbles
found imbeddel in the artificial rock
than it was to break the cement IL
self. Coupling the fact chat cedar
and other woods are becoming scarce
aud more expensive and that cement
posts could be manufactured at prac-
tically the selling price of the cedar
post, Mr.. Hayes determined upon the
establishment Of the factory 1T James.
Vile.
Although manufacturing was begun
only in March, the entire outputs Of
the factory is commanded by the trade.
n number of the farmers in this sec
tion are using the posts and find them
cheaper than the cedar posts so long
used. .-Milwaukee Sentinel.

been surprised to see the amount

this was in a l0x12 claim shanty.

Ignite BRIQuE11Es.

William de la Bere, engineer Of
the st. Anthony Water Power Co.,
has returned from an extended So
journ in Germany, where he has
made an exhaustive study Of the
manufacture Of fuel briquettes in
the interest of Gen. w. d. Wash
burn, who is extensively engaged
in Ignite mining in North Dakota.
General Washburn is greatly inter
ested as a satisfactory substitute
for anthracite coal, and has made
many experiments
Mr.. de la Bere has nothing to
say at this time as to the result of
his observations in Germany be-
yond the fact that he had learned
much that would be of value IN
solving the home problem.
"We prefer" said General Wash
burn, s'to say nothing as to the con-
clusions reached by Mr.. de la Bere
on his trip abroad. Just how val
uable his researches were, cannot
Predetermined until he has an OPP
ortunity to make an application in
this country of the system under
which briquettes are manufactured
in Germany. So far we have rea-
con to believe that as result of
Mr.. de la Bere's trip we will be able
to turn out a finished article in the
shape of a bricquette which will be
found in every way adapted to the
needs of this section, especially
when the supply of anthracite runs
short. While abroad, Mr.. de la
Bere went into the subject from
every conceivale standpoint"
General Washburn says that the
development of his Ignite beds in
North Dakota is making rapid pro-
gress: and that by October his CON-
pany will be able to furnish the
market with from l,5O0 to 1000:
tons daily.

as we are now waiting and praying
for the Bismarckers to pay us a
visit here so that we might demon
strate our superiority at homes
1--WE said last week that we had a
baseball club in Washburn, that
could lay out the Bismarkers very
completely. The Banner City boys
have now organized a mo. Hard"
club, which they claim lis as good
as the wheat" Of that grade. They
are to have a pretty uniform, and
will go forth to the surrounding
country seeking whom we may
''paralyze." In view Of these unex-
pected developments we will re-
tract our previous assertion so far
as the "whalloping" is concerned.
But whenever the boys feel inclined
to give us a call, we will endeavor
/
to make those new pretty uniforms
look sick"
In those days the river was full
Of steamboats, almost any day dur
ing June and July you could see
a dozen or more boats on the river
loaded with government and pri-
vate supplies for Montana points
up river, and down with thousands
and thousands of hides and furs,
principally buffalo hides. This
made it difficult to get accommoda
tion for local freight, so some Of
the local promoters of the different
towns invest in steamboat, buy
ing the steamer Behan from Capt.
Grant Marsh. The Behan was a
boat Of IS foot beam and l65l feet
long and the price was $4,000.
Those interested in the purchase
of the boat were Capt. Voolfolk,
Veeder & Satterlund Of Washburn,
McGrath Bros. of Stanton, and
Messrs. Hayes Bros. and Mead &
Lyons of Mandan. From the local
scene all these men have passed ex-
cepting Messrs, Satterlund, Lyons
and Marsh. Mr.. Lyons is the lead
ing spirit in the Mandan Mercan-
tile company, conducting elevators
and lumber yards here and at Man
haven. Capt. Grant Marsh is cap
tain on the steamer Expansion,
being the oldest of old-timers now
on the upper Missouri.
In speaking of the eastern in
vestor who owns section of land
three miles north, the Times says:
$40 acres Of Mclean county dirt:
is a fortune to any man, This is
equally true today.
Today everybody who has visited
the homestead country up north
knows what a claim shanty is, 10x

ENGLISH COTTON.

England is in need OF cotton. Its mills
feel the necessity of cotton so sorely that
efforts are being made to develop the
cultivation of cotton planting in English
colonies. A cotton growing association
has been organized at Liverpool, and the
London Times says the chairman Of the
meeting alluded to the great demand for
cotton in connection with the Lancashire
textile industry and pointed out that the
difficulty for the future was how to III
sure an adeuate supply. America was
growing in population at an enormous
rate, and the time was coming when she
would probably require all the cotton she
produced for herself II anything should
happen to deprive the great cotton mills
of raw material. the whole of Lancashire
would be bankrupt"
The best hope for growing cotton in the
English colonies is said to be in British
West Africa. The Southern cotton plant
ers need not fear to be driven out Of the
English market soon. If ever, it will be
many years before sufficient cotton can
be grown in English colonies to supply
more than a 1.-THE of the cotton needed
by English mills.
