were in the city Monday. Mr.. Moss
called and favored us. He has a fine
farm we'll seeded down to timothy
and clover, some OF it has been seed
ed for twenty years and ali over ten
years. He says his land bring him
five dollars per acre per year, whileit

boat on the river at Papinville. The
boat is to be planned at Papinville,

Mark Graves resigned his position
as laundryman at the Pennington
Asylum and returned to Butler last

all the officers connected with the in.
stitution.

week greeting his old friends. Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. W. Miers are conduct
ing his hotel. He reports MIR. Miers
as not enjoying the best OF health,
which news his many friends in this
county will be sorry to hear.
Henry Chambers of Cove, Oregon,
a former resident OF Cedar county,
has written letter to the Stockton
Journal in which he gives the follow
ing advice to persons contemplating
leaving Missouri for the Northwest:
ut looks as though lots of people
we're coming west, and they had bet
ter stay where they are. If they
can't make a living there, they can't
here. People come here and buy
rom five to twenty acres OF land and
pay as high as 5000 per acre and the
land agent tells them they can make
money on it. After they get it they
find they can make living on it by
working for someone else for 81 q |
day. / have known land agents to
sell piece Of land FIVE times in one
year. There is no money in fruit
here. There are ten car loads OF ap- |
pies in Cove now and no sale for |
hem. have Travelled over lots OF
this western country, and it is no
better than Missouri, and the people |
here had better stay where they |
are."
We understand that a number of |
armers throughout the county have
been trying the drag method for
smoothing the roads with wonderful |
success. Especially lie this the case in
Charlotte and Elkhart townships
,orth and east Of Virginia. The
method is to make drag by select.
ny a straight log, ten or twelve feet
one, split In two, fasten the two sec-
ions together two or three feet apart,
md drag over the roads just after
'ach rain. 1t smooths over the
'ough places and after a few times
makes the road hard aud compact
I each farmer would make a drag
md use it on the public roads ada.
ent to bis own place the problem Of
,ood dirt roads would be solved to |,
large extent.

Run In . Montana Mining
shaft.

There Is mining shaft not far
from the original town site Of Butte
that has been used for purposes 9th.
er than mining, If all Of the reports
are true. This wonderful shaft Is
300 feet deep, and has not been used
as . means of hoisting ore or waste
since 1898, but there has been a fire
in the boilers and the cage has made
frequent trips from the 100-foot
level to the top, and on each trip a
number of men have ridden in the
cage. The men were not mining, and
the boilers were not kept hot for the
purpose Of making steam with which
to run the engine, so that it might do
its share toward developing the great
mineral resources Of this great min
ing district. The steam was used to
run the cage so that the men who
had occasion to visit the 100-foot
level might make trips as often as
they pleased, says the Anaconda
Standard.
1t all came about in this way:
When the law prohibiting gambling
was in full force in this city year
ago. the gambling spirit ran high
and reclxlessly over the city. An en-
terprising man opened gambling
place in wide chamber on the 100
foot level not far from the shaft re-
ferred to. In this underground room
we're faro tables, roulette wheel.
and crap game. Poker was played
in back rooms about town.
The story goes that the enterpris-
ing gambler "leased the mine,r emu
ployed competent hoisfing engineer
and "went to work" developing the
proberty. and il is said confidently
that the man made the mine pay a
large dividend every month. until the
games began to be recognized as
good things for somebody up town.
Then the subterranean Monte Carlo
went out of existence. The faro
tables, being old and battered. were
not taken ont of the mine, and the
roulette wheel, after being used for
three months In damp place. warped
and twisted out Of shape after being
exposed to the light of day. and it
was sent to the scrap heap. The
crap table and the dice are still in
the mine, it is said and that is the
story of the rich mine that was
worked by gambler last year

HOW NEW YORK KEEPS CLEAN.

town, where cleaning the streets is
done at night, the hour may be quite

disagreeable work should be done be-

it, the hour is quite early. At the ap-
pointed time, whatever 1t is, white

THE POLAR AURORAS.

The authors of the sixteenth CEN
tury designated the aurora borealis
as caprae saltantes (eaping goats,
or flying fres). In Canada they are
called marionettes, in the North Shet-
lands merry dancers" while in Eng
land and America they are known as
the northern lights" or stream
ers," adopted from the ancient name
employed by the Morse, and in Ger
many, Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, writes Frank Wilbert Stokes
in Century.
These wonderful lights are of most
varied and complex forms, and ac-
cording to their attributes have been
divided by scientists into two great
classes, namely, those apparently
without motion, which maintain for
certain period their position and in
tensity, and those which fly with
lightning speed, in ever-changing
forms and varying brilliance, over the
vault of heaven.
The polar auroras seem TO be local,
that is, to frequent the regions above
the fifty-fifth or sixtieth parallel.
They at times approach quite near to
the earth's surface, and are of limit
ed extent. 1t is within the proba-
bilities that they are simultaneous
at the two poles; and as the sun
shines over half of the globe, and
the auroras have been witnessed over
the whole of the dark half, the dou-
BILE polar aurora may envelop the en-
tire globe, excepting an equatorial
zone Of about 40 degrees.
That marvel of instruments, the
spectroscope, has proved that the
aurora is itself luminous. giving
greenish-yellow lines, and therefore
not due to either reflection or re-
fraction, like rainbows, halos, and
parhelia. The color commonly seen
is whitish yellow, which approaches
to white as the light becomes dim,
while the color occurring most fire.
quently after whitish yellow is rose
carmine. The richest in color are the
striped arcs. crowns. or glories, and
especially the draperies. The red
rays appear generally toward the
lower part, and the exquisite green
rays move above and behind; or it
may be composed of red. red and
green, or. more rarely, OF green or
blue, and, what is extremely rare.
entirely of violet rays, The colors
seem to be less pure when the air Is
free from fog. but our experience has
been, like that of some others, just
the reverse. Although the light inn
presses the beholder as especially
brilliant in the finest auroras. still
it seldom exceeds .de light of the
moon in its first quarter. Stars of
the first and second magnitudes pen
citrate the aurora without diminished
light; indeed, their seintillation in
creases, as does that Of the magnetic
disturbance. Auroras have been seen
during full moon. and even at day
time in the high latitude. The In
NUTS (Eslximos) of Smith Sound,
Greenland, the most northerly peo-
pie in the world, believe that the au-
rora borealis has singing ns,ise; and
the inhabitants of the 0rkneys, of
Finmarken, and those in the region of
Hudson bay believe. with many COM
petent observers. that peculiar
sound like the rustling of silk always
accompanies 1t. The Lapps liken this
sound to the cracking in the Joints of
morinc reindeer.
