Delicate Surgical Operation.

A celebrated astronomer suffered
acutely for over twelve years from
an unknown trouble in his leg. The
surgeons did not seem to be able to
diagnose his case. He finally went to
the Johns Hopkins hospital at Balti-
more, and an examination by two
young surgeons showed that the lame
ness was due to a diseased nerve in
the leg. The patient was told that the
operation would be painful, and in the
nature of an experiment, as it had
been tried only once before, in France,
in which instance it was successful
The patient refused to take anaesthet-
les, as he desired to witness the oper-
alton as far as possible. The leg was
opened and the nerve was found to
be diseased, and the patient directed
the surgeons to cut it out. The nerve
was entirely removed, the wound
closed and in ten days the patient was
able to dress himself and walk about
the hospital, and he is now able to
go up and down stairs and walk halt
a mile at time

The Rise of the Crea

Prior to 1872 no such thing as a
creamery or butter factory had been
known. The small farmers of New
England, who were we'll provided with
pure water, mountain pastures and
other favorable conditions, had provid-
ed the cities with small percentage
of good butter at an early day, and
Herkimer and Orange counties. N. Y,
extended the art and developed great
interest in cheese as well as butter
making. The Western Reserve OF
Ohio, followed these, and in this lin
tied area prior to ~ was produced all
the fine butter worth naming. All the
butter coming from the great West
was denominated in the markets as
western grease" Think of the Fox
River county of Illinois and it's broad
prairies everywhere, likewise Iowa,
whose butter and cheese product to-
day, added to it's home consumption,
equals $50,000,000. Think of all this
being of the lowest grade of stuff. But
in 1872 John Stewart of Manchester.
Ia, invented creamery. The world
had never known a butter factory.
On Spring Branch, where there was
plenty of spring water, he built a
building and began to buy the milk
from his neighbors. In 1876 he show
ed up at Philadelphia, and took the
worlds prize for fine butter. It open
ed everybody's eyes, and it opened up
new resources in the West. Iowa to-
day has over $50 creameries and near
ly 100 cheese factories. Other states

CHAPTER VII.

How long he waited he never after
wards knew. 1t might have been halt
sn hour. it might have been more.
But suddenly a strange sensation be-
gan to creep over him, sensation
OF most extraordinary drowsiness,
which he seemed unable to combat
He had taken one of Rayburn's prof.
fered cigars, thinking it would be I'M
gracious to refuse, and feeling, more
over, that he would be the better for
one after that long tramp and the ia
tiguing scramble through the jungle.
He was smoking it as the feeling OF
drowsiness crept over him.
He made a courageous effort to
shake it off by trying to move about
as well as his limited space would al
low. Once or twice he shouted Ray
burns name at the pitch of his voice;
but no answer came back.
II may as we'll sit down." he thought
at last. II feel as if my limbs would
scarcely support me-" -.
A little knoll of the rough half
grass formed temptation; he yielded
to it and sat down. In a few minutes
the whole of his surroundings-the
Jungle, the thought of Rayburn and
his wounded friend-faded away into
nothingness; drowsiness passed into
Inconsistencies, and Cleland slept.

door, made of thick brushwood thickly
tied together, which had only been
kept secure by the kit, which had been
rolled close to it from the inside.
Here boys! come back!" cried Gle
land loudly. But seeing that the
boys" were already through the door
way, he rushed to it and followed.
Outside, the moonlight flooded the
scene; the great stretch of brownish-
yellow sand looked white beneath it;
the tents of the officers and the rough
RECONSTRUCTED zareba of the soldiers
stretched between Cleland's hut and
the river. distant about hundred
yards from them. All was the silence
and desolation of the desert.
But as Cleland looked out a tall,
dark figure strobe hastily from it's po-
sition in pool of moonlight right
behind Cleland's hut. Cleland stood
still in his amazement at seeing an
other of the camp out at that hour be-
sides himself.
His first impulse was to follow the
ence through which he had just
passed. His second was to pause and
think, vague feeling of uneasiness
coming over him.
He felt sure he had recognized the
figure as that of Major Rayburn.
For some reason he knew Rayburn
disliked him. He had noticed it sew
eral times-whenever he came in con-
tact with him. Once or twice he had
caught Rayburn looking at him in a
way LudL puZZl0u himself.
Cleland could not guess the reason.
He had never dreamt Adrienne Brey-
ton regarded him in any other than a
friendly way, and, even had he done
so, he had no idea of Rayburn's feel
ings towards Adrienne.
On second thoughts he gave up the
idea OF following Rayburn. He got
hold Of his boys, told them all danger

ena to the door, but not outside it,
for fear of attracting other wild ami
mails
Cleland had Just thrown himself
down on his roughly -improvised couch
again when a loud knock came at the
door.
Are you awake, doctor? l want
you at once" said a hurried voice
the voice of Philip Rayburn.
II am awake. Open, Adbullah,
quickly!" cried Cleland.
The boy did so, with the leisureli-
ness of a true Arab. and Rayburn
rushed in, looking CHASTITY white in the
moonlight.
"For Gods sake, doctor. come quick
ly!" he said, as Cleland sprang up.
There's man bleeding to death about
a mile away from here! Are you
ready? Come with me. Bring ban
dages and your instruments, and I'll
tell you about the affair as we co."
In moment Cleland had gathered
his things together. 1t struck him as
he did so that he had suspected Ray
burn without cause. Here was the
mans reason probably for being out
at that hour.

Adrienne made no answer, merely
bowling slightly as she made a gesture
with her hand to Mahomed, indicating
that he was to go.
But when the door had closed on the
figures of the two men she remained
standing where she was, her hand
resting on the little inlaid table before
her, an expression Of strange fear and
apprehension creeping slowly over her
beautiful face.
He cannot harm him-he cannot"
she murmured, as if trying to convince
herself OF the truth of the words.
Then a sudden culver ran through her,
and she covered her face with her
hands. II cannot hide the truth from

took for his subject: 1.-The Life of

drew conclusions and comparisons OF
a standard of right living for the peo-

81. Ramsey returned last evening
from Mitchell, where he went with
his son Harold, who has entered the
Dakota University. Mr.. Ramsey
was at the University two days and
made a thorough examination Of its
system and facilities and is very
highly pleased with the school.
"There are undoubtedly many people
in South Dakota,'' said Mr.. Ramsey,
"who are sending their children to
schools outside the state simply be-
cause they do not know and do not
take the pains to ascertain that such
an admirable school is right here in
our state. This is doubtless true
OF many Of the other schools within
our borders, but I speak of the Dako-
ia University because OF my eXami-
nation while there. A new five story
dormitory.is now we'll along towards
completion and 1T will be when fin
ished one Of the best buildings in the
state. This dormitory is entirely fire
proof, the floors being on steel girders
and constructed Of tiling, as are all

even in the large cities a more COM
pletely fire proof building than this
one. Martin Jordan, son Of DR.. w.

people OF Mitchell are feeling very
confident Of their ability to land the
capital plum. and while they recog-
nize that Sioux Falls is and will
continue to be the principal business
city of the state, they figure that the
growth Of Mitchell and of all sur
rounding towns will but assist in
the growth Of the Queen city me-

AS A DISTRIBUTING POINT

ing Agent for Five Large
Machine Companies.

Monday E. B. VanAlstine COM
menced breaking ground on the east
side of his implement warehouse for
what will be a large addition to his
already extensive plant. When the
basement is completed Mr.. VanAl-
slime will commence the erection Of
a two story addition that will be 40
N60 feet in size and will be joined on
the east and the rear of the present
structure, and some Jime in the near
future the same addition will be CAR
ried to the front of the location.
Nh. VanAlstine has just been APP
pointed the distributing agent for
five large machine companies, VIZ:
the Deering, Mccormick, Champion,
Plano and Milwaukee, and will carry
a full line of repairs for each Of these
machines. These companies belong
to the International Harvester Co.,
and will ship all their machines to
Mitchell and from this point they
will be sent to the local agents at
various places. The fact that Mr..
VanAlstine will carry a full line of
supplies for all Of these machines will
be of great benefit to the farmers in
not only this county, bat those sur
rounding, as they can send here on
short notice and get just what they
want.
Mr.. VanAlstine will still handle
the Deerins machine and the other
local agents will retain their agencies.
The addition to his plant will give
MI. yanAlstine a t1ackage on the
Milwaukee road of 1870 feet, and it
will give him more room in which
to take ta1e Of his private business
along with his new position as dis
tributor for the companies mem

MINING IGNITE COAL
1t is a Profitable Industry in the
North Dakota Mines Located
Near Bismarck.

The mining Of Ignite coal is quite
an industry in North Dakota, the
principal mine being located about %
miles north Of Bismarck. Bert G.
Duncan, who is at present visiting in
the city, is connected with the in
dustry in a clerical capacity, and he
gave us some interesting Information
concerning the development of that
industry. He said the mine that was
under operation was but 60 feet deep
and that the coal extended from the
top of the ground downward in solid
layers. AT this depth the coal is
mined in chambers, that is, huge
blocks are cut out and any number Of
rooms in the mine are made by this
method. The coal is mined by cleo
trio drills. which cut out the blocks
and they are moved from their rest
ing places by means Of an explosive
About 40 cars per day are mined and
there is unlimited sale for the pro-
duct. Mr.. Duncan said that there
were about !, 900 men employed IN the
mines. Ignite is burned nearly ex-.
c~lusively in that country and ship
ments of the product are sent into
the northern part Of this state. The
coal retails at a much less sum than
the eastern commodity and its burn
ing qualities are said to be equal il
not superior to the Pennsylvania soft
coal. This coal is entirely consumed,
there being no clinkers in the stove
and is burned into a fine ash. The
local freight rates are so high that
1T prevents the coal from being
shopped to many distant points.

BOUGHT ADJOINING LOT .
City Council Purchased Lot Adjoinin.
the City Hall Property for
&1.25O.OO.

A special meeting Of the city coun-
Gil was held Saturday evening to CON-
plete the deal for the purchase OF the
lot adjoining the city hall property
on the east. The lot is 100 feet long
by % feet WIDE, and was owned by
a. ]. Kings. The mayor and auditor
were authorized to issue a warrant
for $500 and another warrant for $3.50,
payable one year from date. The pos
session of the lot by the city will
make it impossible for a building now
to be erected that will spoil the ap.
pea1ance of the city hall. A build
ing on that lot would have made it
stand within five feet of the new
structure and would have spoiled its
appearance very much, not to men,
tion the higher rate of insurance that
would ensue because OF the close
proximity of the two structures. In
in the years to come the lower rate
Of insurance will pay for..the lot.
The council members after adjourn
ment informally talked over the fire
alarm system that is soon to be in
stalled. For the present it is believed
that five alarm boxes can be made to
fill the necessities, and they will.:be
distributed in various parts of the
city, the location of which has not
been determined. Two boxes will be
placed on Main street, one on the
south side and one each on the east
and west sides of the city. 1t is the
idea of the council to add alarm
boxes each year until the city is well
provided for the Immediate trans
mission Of ii fire alarm.
