THE PACKET STEAMBOAT.
She Grinds Through Sand, Stumbles
Over Rocks and Has a Hard
Time of 1t.

| wish I could make it plain how
wonderful a being is the steamboat.
She has a romance clinging to her
every timber, and the blood of the
thoroughbred in her veins. Into her
go the engines of dead-and-gone river
racers, and the treasured relics
sweet-toned bells, paintings, bits of
bric-a-brac-of famous steamers of
the past. Cabins, worthy because of
beauty or staunchness descend from
generation to generation. Her name,
oftentimes, stands for wife, daughter,
old-time sweetheart, lifelong friend,
writes Willis Gibson in Scribner's.
Nobly she does her work. AS a
rule, the packet steamboat travels at
least $4,000 miles in a year. Landing,
she does not float smoothly into a
deepwater slip as does the ocean
liner; she has to grind through sand,
stumble over rocks, buffet against
banks and wharves. In time of storm
she does not have miles of space in
which to maneuver; she is coope6 up
at the winds mercy, with n~ine-tenths
of her bulk above water, in a channel
sometimes not wide enough to turn
about in.
Her powers of resistance are re.
markable. When I likened to a ghost
that St. Louis packet which I first
boarded at St. Paul, there was more
than mere fancy in the words. Thus
far in her lifetime she had been once
wrecked in a cyclone, once sunk by a
drawbridge, once sunk upon a snag-
in that last accident losing almost her
entire bottom. Thrice the river had
viciously wounded her, but it had not
killed her-yet.

Master of circumstances.

The Somali Mad Mullah has a
knowledge of the discoveries of the
English which he makes use of as
special miracles" Of his own. An
English paper gives this instance:
An English m~an-of-war was sent
to demonstrate off the coast, and at
night threw a searchlight on the jun
gle-covered mountain. Abdullah was
hiding there, and knowing from his
visits to Alden what it was that his
followers hailed as a new star, told
them that the light was seeking him.
When the electric rays actually
flooded his encampment, he cried in
triumph. "Will you, deny now that I
am under the eye Of God?"
The Soma4i fell on their knees, beat
the earth with their foreheads, and
replied: "Thou art truly the elect,
the chosen, the mullah, the master!
Our goods, our existence belong to
thee. We place ourselves entirely
at the disposition of thy will"
The result was noted a few weeks
later in the news of the rising Of
some 1000 of these Somali.

A Good story.

frederika, Ia, July l3th.-Mr. "A. g..
Grover, Of this place, tells an interesting
story showing how sick people may regain;
their health if they will only be guided by,
the experience of others. He says:
II had a very bad case of Kidney Trouble,
had to get up every hour Of the night. /
could not retain my urine and my feet and
limbs begin to bloat up. Ny weight was
quickly running down.
after l had tried many things in vain,
I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, a med.
icine which had cured some other very bad.
cases.

The bloat has all gone from my feet and.
legs, and I don't have to get up at night.

lieve that the young fellow vas limo
cent. It was the intangible influence
of Miriam Wright that enlisted him
ardently in the case, and that inten-
siied his eagerness over each new de-
yelopment. There was something
about her loneliness that appealed to
him, and from the very first her
beauty had stirred him as he had
never been stirred before. His inter.
est in the case gave him. an excuse
for seeing her frequently, and as he
was a man Of intelligence and of
many attractive qualities, his visits
were always acceptable. There were
features in the Wright case which
were rather repulsive to him. The
character of the murdered man was
such that he would have felt very
much like saying that his taking off
was hardly worth Investigating with
q view of Furnishing the murderer.
But it seemed at first to involve the
punishment of an innocent man, and
that appealed to Irving's sense of fair
play. In the next place it introduced
into his life the elment that trans
figured and transforms the world.
A friendship soon became cemented
between himself and Miriam. Per-
haps at first each was a novelty. to
the other, and therein lay the charm.
Miriam's life had been narrow and
retrospective. She knew the world
only through the medium of books.
She seldom received or paid visits,
and she had obtained her education
at the hands of a governess; and had
she been cast upon a desert isle her
idle life could hardly have been more
restricted. She was so unlike the
other women whom Irving knew that
he was attracted to her from the
start.
AT first his visits were taken up
with the latest news about Herbert's
case, the value of the testimony, the
probable action of the jury, the evil
dence that could be introduced for
Herbert, and various other features
of the S But there came a time
Then this topic was pretty nearly
exhausted. All the events in Herbert's
life had been reviewed, his DISPOSE
ton had been analysed and every
probable possibility and possible
probability in connection with the
case had been canvassed. Up to this
time their acquaintance had been
based on their joint concern for Mi
RAMS brother, but when everything
had been said about him and his. .af-
fairs that could be said, they began
to talk about themselves; and like
the timid skater venturing rather
warily upon the new ice, theyswere
decidedly shy at first; but when they
found that the ice would hold them,
as it we're, they became drawer and
more daring. Confidence begat conf
dence. The acquaintance ripened
apace, and it was not very long be-
fore each of them was aware of the
tender touch of an unseen influence.
When Christmas came, Irving spent
a good deal of his time at the WRIGHT
snlaass. Heewas Received 81 sa fooaRfng
of aEfriend, and he did much in a
quiet u~nobtrusive way to make the
holidays less sad for Miriam and her
mother.

LEGALITY of Taxes.

Much interest was taken in Fargo
in the decision of the supreme court
on the legality of taxes assessed
against real estate where the name of
the owner was wrong. An owner of
some property refused to pay taxes
because it was not properly assessed
in his name. Judge Pollock first
held that the tax was void, but aft
ter more mature consideration he re-
versed himself and held that the land
was subject to taxes regardless of the
name in which it was assessed. The
case was carried to the supreme
court and that body reversed a for
mer decision of it's own and affirmed
Judge Pollock. Hereafter if the de-
scription of the land is correct taxes
are valid, regardless of the name of
the owner.

of Cass county was discharged from
the state insane asylum about a year
ago. He suffered a recurrence of his
mental trouble recently and was

He seemed to have concluded he
would rather die than go back to the
asylum. In some way the turnkey
overlooked a small jackknife and
Peterson gashed his throat badly. A
hole was cut in the windpipe and the
injury may prove fatal.

Pure Food Law.

E. F. Ladd, food commissioner of
North Dakota, has issued a press bull
letin in relation to the pure food law
which went into effect July 1. Mer-
chants throughout the state have
asked what they are to do with goods
already in the state that do not come
up to the requirements of the law.
He says:
"We have these goods in the state.
In many cases neither the merchants
OF the wholesaler in selecting the
goods knew that they would not
comply with the requirements of the
law. In my Judgment there is but
n honorable course to take. That
is to allow the sale of all food prod
ucts, not Immediately harmful, found
legitimately in trade in the state on
July l.. All goods shipped into the
state after July 1 will be subject to
inspection wherever found. All new
goods received after July 1 are to be

by merchants. The same ruling ap-
plies to wholesalers, manufacturers
and jobbers in North Dakota as to

EIGHT BELLS

The famous Brothers Byrne will be mt Poh'sl on Thursday evening with their newest edition of the new ssEight Bells" This production is entirely original and in class that stands alone. There are no similar perform nnces in this country. The piece throughout savers of new things that have never before been presented to the public. The Byrne Brothers are artists of high standard, excellfng as pantomimists, and as acrobats are un- excelled. Nothing in the acrobatic line is too difficult for them, and the ease with which they accomplish the most difficult feats is marvellous to be hold. The brothers are sufficient in themselves for a show, but wisely al- low others who have claims to recog- milton to help in the merrymaking. They have an inexhaustible fund of novelties in the way of stage parapher- nalia in the new Flight Bells" and there is no limit to trick scenery, mar vicious mechanical effects and new pantomime tricks, which keep the au- dience's attention riveted to the stage Rt all times. The great fire scene, the real engine and team of funny white horses, the carriage ride and its mis- haps, the funny revolving ship, the ani- mated statues, the eccentric duel scene, are all great laugh producers and ideas that originated from the brain of this clever quartette of pantomimists.

SEA ISLAND COTTON
Porto Rico Now Ginning One of the
 Largest Crops Ever Raised.
Bright Outlook i'm the Island for This Valuable and Important Crop N How the Quality Is Im-
 Rreved by Selection.

The new ginneries which have just been erected on the water front of San Juan, island of Porto Rico, are busy working up the crop of sea island cotton which is the most pretentious and sig nifcant crop which has yet been raised in the island. It is expected that the output will bex something like 10000 bales of some of the finest sea island cot ton grown.
 About three years ago the first sys- tematic attempts at growing sea island cotton were made in Porto Rico, and the results thus far obtained are most gratifying. The principal promoter of the new movement declares that the island should grow 50,000 bales of this superior quality of cotton each year, and where it is properly cared for, and the grade of plants improved by selection, it should net thepgrower $60 per acre, while the sugar planter is contented if he clears $15 per acre.
 Sea island cotton differs from the com mon upland variety in the greater length and silkiness of its fiber. Thelo-
