 MT Dictrich's luck was discomfort .
 ing to his rivals, and now he was of fered $1O0OO for the mine. it being un- derstood that the refusal meant a re-
 sumption of hostilities. Dietrich re-
 fused the offer.
 Not long after, Cephus Futile, of
 the Aurora mine was shot from am =
 bush and killed. Two bullets hit Diet =
 rich. one grazing his forehead. Then
 Dietrich discovered that the Hidden
 Treasure people lad stealthily dug
 tunnels into the the Aurora property,
 and were planning to blow it up from
 below. Dietrich said nothing but put
 his men at work digging counter tun- nels and lad powder mines in such a way as to blow up the men working in
 the Hidden Treasure.
 Just as the night shift went into the Hidden Treasure to relieve the day force, Dietrich and his men sallied
 boldly to the mouth of the mine and covered the cit with their guns. The Hidden Treasure people were told that a refusal to capitulate would result in
 destruction of the Hidden Treasure, so there was an unconditional surrender. MT. Dietrich was conceded title, and sold at handsome figure to a number of capitalists in New York city. The fortune Senator Dietrich had
 made in the Black Hills ultimately
 put him into the banking business at
 Hastings, Neb., his present home. Ills
 prominence as a pioneer. his aggres- siveness and fearlessness took him
 into politics and made him United 1 States senator.
 Returning from Deadwood in 1878 MT. Eietrich engaged in the mercantile business and did well. Ten years later | he organized the German National Bank of Hastings, and is now it's pres
 jdent. He was elected governor of Nebraska in 1900. and was elected | United States senator the following year. to i'll oIt the unexpired term of
 the late Senator Haywood. He resign

 took his seat in the senate December 2
 of that year. His term of service will expire March 1905.

plenty of money and no provisions, his stock was soon disposed of at high prices. He then travelled on foot through the Deadwood country ped ding food disregarding the caution of his friends. In those days it was worth a white mans life to venture into that wild territory, but Mir. Dietrich was always of a fearless and daring type.
 That winter he was one of a party that helped to lay out the village ot Spearfish. As the country was un- settled and claimed by the Indians. no others had ventured so far. The red skins swooped down upon the town builders and stampeded their ponies. The party gave chase. recovered their mounts. and resumed their work without the loss of a man.
 At this time MT. Dietrich had ac- cumulated sufficient money to open a mine. and, with two partners. made the Aurora famous. not only in it's value but also because of the deter mined attempts of rivals to oust the three prospectors.
 There was no law then in the Black Hills; there was no system then of es- tablishing property rights; all men were tresspassers and title meant pos- session. MT. Dietrich and his partners had seen enough of life in the Black Hills to know the price they must pay So they fortified themselves on then claim and sent out word that any un- welcome visitors would not be given the privilage of leaving. The rest knew what this meant and did not at tempt open attack.
 The Aurora owners attributed their trouble to men who held the by Hidden Treasure and Keats mines. One of the three guaded the Aurora sod- house all the time. One night the guards attention was attracted by the falling of pebble from above. Look ing up he discerned the skulking figure of man A challenge brought no an swer but precipitated fight.

 Any reliable time saver is eagerly Probably the most forceful illustration Probably the most forecuf illustration of this condition of things in recent years was the enthusiasm with which the fountain pen was greeted. It seemed to mean the saving of so much time and annoyance for so many peo- pie that it's sale was simply phenome- nal.
 But the fountain pen was not by any means perfect and it's users soon dis covered that the bother was only con- centrated. instead of being dispensed with. The finest fountain pen would write indifferently well as long as there was ink in it but when that gave out our busy man had to stop, unscrew an inky cap, hunt around for a filler and the particuar ink recommended ! by the manufacturers of that particu- dar pen and so on through a long pro- cess of annoyance.
 The manufacturers of the Quaker City Self Filling Fountain Pen have overcome all this bother and produced practical writing tool which Is as easy to use as if one were simply writing with the filler needed for the old pen. There is nothing to urscrew. nothing to squirt, nothing to lose or get out of order. Its construction is simple and substantial and the opera ton of filling 1t so simple that you wonder nobody thought of it before.
 It is merely necessady to dip the pen pressing 1t slightly, lift up as us ual and go on writing. Its capacity is no less than the bothersome kind.

SENATOR DIETRICH.
His Present Troubles Only Emphasize
 His Former Good Luck.

Members of both branches of con gress and friends of Senator Charles Henry Deitrich, of Nebraska, are won dering if the extraordinary good for tune which has followed him through his entire life will desert him in his present trouble, says the Washington Post. Several weeks ago the federal grand jury indicted him on the charge of bribery in the Hastings postoffice appointment. Now the grand jury is considering similar charges in several other like appointments and will rend- CT it's findings before the Nebraska statesman will be given trial in the present indictment case.
 Forced to depend upon his own re- sources since eight years old, roughing 1t with frontiersmen for the nucleus of his fortune. wrestling his first property from competitors who sought to des- troy him with bombs and powder mines looking calmly into gun barrels of enemies, luck at all times backed him and he won in every instance. The same luck that started him toward wealth and made him a thriving banker attended him when he forced his way into political prominence at precisely the time when a compromise candidate was needed to break a dead lock in a senatorial election.
 Senator Dietrich started out in life at the age of eight years, when he hired out to farmers of Nebraska for his living. He did chores, weeded fields, did almost a mans work snatching a few weeks schooling in midwinter. He afterward engaged in blacksmithing, working over the anvil till he earned a savings of S125.
 With the good fortune that was to attend him always. he had found his way to the west just as the discovery Of gold in the Black Hills had opened rich fields for fortune hunters. This was during the winter of 1875. He hadn't enough money to pay his way by stage, so he hired the transporta- ton of his provisions. loaded blankets and clothing on his back. and trudged | beside the provision wagon to Dead wood, s. D. Being in the wintertime many dangers awaited any one who would brave the blizzard and the In- dians. He walked unprotected 500 miles and passed through Red Canyon. Before and after his trip few white men hac come out of the canv.,n alive. but D rtrich went through unmolested.
 Having spent his savings from toll as a blacksmith, MT. Dietrich was badly | hampereG in his ambition to prospect in this country, so he opened the first store in Deadwood. and stocked it with his provisions. As many people had come to the land of gold with

One trifling matter in the use of gas for cooking is the habit of removing a kettle or saucepan from the burner before turning off the gas. Another ex- travagance is allowing the flame to flare all up around the dish. If the gas merely acts upon the pan without ap- bearing at all against the sides, one is using all the best strength of the heating power.
