The Fata Morrana.

This beautiful atmospheric phenome-
non, which takes it's name from one
of the fairies Of MEDIEVAL legend and
IL specially prevalent at the strait Of
Messina, between Italy and Sicily, has
lately been critically studied by DR..
Boccara of the technical college at
Reggie. He has seen the apparitions
under three different ~forms-aerial,
marine and multiple. In the first case
buildings on the Italian coast We're
seen projected on the Sicilian coast be-
yond. In the second cast arches on a
railway above Messina were visible,
magnided and more brilliant than the
real arches, standing below the sea
line with no apparent support. In the
multiple Morgana aerial and marine
apparitons are visible simultaneously.
All these appearances are ascribed to
variations In atmospheric density, pro.
ducing abnormal refraction.

the method of drills, parades and other

that most important element in mod

scribes the petty tyranny Of the non

Spelling "Chop Suey."

There are about as many ways of
spelling "chop suey" as there are ways
Of preparing it, and scarcely half a
dozen Chinese restaurants can be found
In Chicago where the name of the dish

solutely incorrect. On South State
street one sign reads "Chop Shuey."
On West Madison street is another
which reads "Chop Sooy." On Clark
street, where there is q nest Of Chinese
restaurants, the name is spelled in
many ways: fSh. :!
An educated Chinaman, speaking of
this spelling or misspelling the other
day, said: a.
"All the ways are right, and all are
wrong. 1t is only a guess at best. 1t
would be impossible to spell the name
rightly in English. The nearest ap-
proach to the correct spelling would be

pronounced by an American, so we
have come to use chop suey' as the
proper way Of painting our signs. Yet

Rose bushes grow like these!" I

And chairs are on the porch.

And ends the ball game which tho

When half in rhyme
The dreams go to and fro,

The night, the damp, the air,
But with the dreams
A something seems

Wants COa1ing Stations, Even If 1t
Violates Monroe Doctrine.
In 1900 an American went to Berlin
20 study a certain phase of German
politics. He carried with him letters
OF Introduction from men Of the high
est standing in this country which
quickly placed him en- rapport with
leading German statesmen and govern
ment officials.
One day in a call made upon an Off
Cial who Is close to the emperor the
American suggested that Germany dis
played a keen desire to obtain a foot
hold in China and that public men and
students of affairs in the United States
could not disabuse their minds of the
Idea that Germany would not rest con-
tent until she had obtained a colony In
South America.
"A colony, no; but a coaling station,
yes" the German interrupted.
Liam afraid, count" the American
replied, "that you will never get your
coaling station. You see, the Monroe
doctrine would not permit it. You will
never get your coaling station unP'-

we do not love to fight, although we
have the best army in Europe, and be-
fore long we shall not be despised on

should be denied coaling stations, and
It is unworthy Of the United States to
attempt this act of injustice. Coaline

THOSE WEAVER SQUARES

who purchased the NW4 27-103-GO
Qess n tier Of blocks on west side
included in the University Addition
to MiCchell) several years ago for his
own use. Business matters have
prevented his using the property
himself and he has concluded to plat
the whole tract Of 140 acres into
squares OF 300X300 feet with streets
between all squares and sell them i'm
mediately at prices within the reach
or all. There will be just AZ squares
all 3O0x3OO feet, but those squares
on the south and east sides Of the
tract will be much larger in size.
Within "A hours after 30 of the
squares have been sold a public
drawing will be held upon the tract,
Tor selections of locations; the person
who draws No. l will have the right
to the first choice of the squares; the
person who draws No. twill have
The second choice and so on. There
Will be only AZ squares in the whole
tract; it is we'll known that those
squares adjoining the University
Addition and also the next tier of
squares will have exceptional value
by reason Of their clOseness to the
University. All of the squares are
worth much more than the price
at which we are authorized to sell
them; the object In Offering them
at the exceptionally low price Of
S2OO per square is for the purpose of
selling them all Immediately for cash.
They will be sold only for spot cash
and payments must be made for all
squares to the undersigned, On Or be-
fore the day Of the drawing for Sc
lections. Due notice Of the day Of
the drawing will appear in the Daily
Republican Of Mitchell, S. d., and
the drawing will positively take place
within "A hours after 80 of the
squares have been sold. Here is a
chance for all who act quickly to get
a square, which is equal in size to a
regular sized block of ground in one
OF the most desirable locations in
this city at a mere nominal figure.
1t is readily seen that 3OOx3OO feet
contains 3 and 7-1O0ths acres, includ-
ing center to center Of streets, and
land so close to the University in a
city of the size Of Mitchell, in our
opinion, is well worth 800 per acre.
Ii you desire to secure a square i f
Will be necessary for you to act
quickly. Those who come first will
be served first, and no favoritism will
Fbe shown any one. If you want a
square bring your cash.
Several parties have asked us if the
squares would not be divided; they
will not be; but there is no objection
to two ior more parties clubbing to-
-gether. For instance: Four can club
together and buy a square, putting in
$50 apiece; then they will be entitled
to have one Of them secure a number
IN the, drawing for selections; they
can agree as to the manner in which
tthe square shall be divided or they
can W it all together and deed
for same a be made as they may
direct.

GAMBLING HOUSES RUNNING,

him. He's driven the Western gam
blers out of town and put the police
grating game out of business.
Now, when l say that, don't mean
that the police don't get graft. They
do. But it's voluntary. A gambling
house keeper can nowadays give a cop
on the beat a couple of dollars. or
$40 note to the wardman or a $50 bill
to a captain. But he, doesn't have to.
It's just gift, from force of habit,
But the police can't come around and
insist on it. If they do he tells them
to go and chase themselves

Not one gambling house keeper has

keepers of the gambling houses that
were raided on the evidence of Joseph
Jacobs, the great sleuth, have been con-
Victed; in fact, nob0dy has gone to

like Frank FarrelPs West Thirty-third
street house and q number of others not
quite so well Known are shut, but
there's plenty of others open. Capt.
O'Connor left the Tenderloin asknowl-
edging that the gambling houses were
open and doing business and that he
couldn'e prevent it. It's so all over
town.
There's a mighty sight fewer gam
bling houses than there used to be, too.
It's only those places that drew in their
horns when Jerome began his raiding
right after he was elected and saw to ii
that their look-outs admitted only old
familiar friends, and took in no new
ones on any conditions, that have
wea thered the storm. other places that
ignored Jerome and gave his men

Western crooked gamblers that filled
the town and put up brace games and
dealt crooked faro; as result, the bet

knew that gambling houses were run
