stock commission has declared most Of
the Missouri river counties east of the
river, and the section between the Mis-
souri, and Jim rivers to be scabies-in-
pulsory dipping Of all cattle in that
territory at least twice at periods of not
more than fourteen nor less than eight
days apart, with dipping in all other
counties Of the state, wherever the
county inspectors shall order it. The
order is compulsory, and no clear bill Of
inspection will be given in the counties
named unless the dipping regulation has
been complied with. The counties de-
lie, Brule, Buffalo, Charles Mix, Camp
bell, Douglass, Edmunds, Faux, Hand,
Hyde, Hughes, Jerauld, Mcpherson, Pot.
ter, Sphinx, Sully and Walworth.
The county inspectors in these couu-
ties are attempting to secure dipping at
about the same time for all cattle and
will do all in their power to wipe out
the itch this year. They are trying to
prevent the action Of some cattle
their herds and dipped the rest, declar-
ing that they had brought in all they
owned. This action left enough infect

disease again.
Last year the wolf bounty fund Of
$4,000 was exhausted on the last day
Of May, and the applications for bounty
which came in after that date cut the
amount down to point, where the pro
rata paid was 81 cents on the dol
lar. This year the applications to the
last day of May left $57 Of the fund on
hand and the indications at the present
are that the payments this year will be
on about the same basis as for last
year. After this year the amount avail
able for bounties will be $4,000 year,
full at the rate allowable under the law.

SWEATING MIR. MUSSER
Hot Work With a Steam Shovel at two
~" Harbors.

TWO HARBoRs, MINI The
worlds record for. handling ore with
a steam shovel has been broken by En-
gineer Musser, who operates a Cotton
Bucyrus shovel at the Hull mine. In
five hours and thirty-six minutes he
loaded from a stock pile 1873 3O-ton
cars of ore, or a total of 4,140 tons.
Loading from stock pile is more diff
ficult and slower than working in an
ore pit for the reason that time must
be taken oftener for moving the SHOW
ell, and also to clean up the scattering
ore. -... 5eFz
It had been determined that the load
ing Of these 4,14O tons Of ore cost the
Oliver Mining company steel trust
less than one cent per ton, not count
ing the wear and tear Of the shovel.
All previous ore-shipping records for
the month Of May, so far as the head Of
the. lakes is concerned, at least, were
broken last month. The total amount
shipped by the Duluth & Iron Range
from Two Harbors, the Duluth, Mis-.
sabe & Northern from Duluth, and the
Great Northern from Allouez, was g.,
9ll.9l2 tons, making the total ship

MOVES HIS HOUSE
ACROSS 6 STATES
Cleveland Doctor Removes Fiji
teen-Room Mansion to Mus
kogee in Sections. q

Cleveland, Ohio, June s.-Dr. @. e.
Bryant, a local physician, has just COM
pleted a May moving job that is per
haps without a parallel in this part of
the country. He has moved fifteen
room house from Cleveland to Indian
Territory. His wife IS mother was NOV
ing to his new home with him, and she
wanted her old homestead to go with
them. So it went. go. -
This feat~was accomplished quietly
and successfully. There was no de-
monstration, no delaying of traffic and
NO creation of excitement. This task
which seems so herculean was per-
formed SO easily as to destroy the TO-
nance that one feels ought to belong IN
the picture. -----
The house that travelled from Ohio's
metropolis to the southwest stood in
Hardness avenue in the East End. It
belonged to Mrs. Austin Beckwith, wild
ow Of Wells Beckwith, and was her
home thirty-fve years. She bought it
when the original Hardness, now dead,
laid out his farm in lots.
When it came to moving the house
was torn down with as much care az
marks the moving of a piano out of
fiat. Its fragments were indexed, clas-
SIZED. tied together and packed.
Only two men were employed on the
work. They worked slowly, but with
precision. Finally the "!debris" stood
about the premises ranged in neat bun
dies of boards, timbers, lolsts, frames,
etc. These were bound with straps of
metal, wire and in the conventional
paeking-case methods. AS each came
out of the house it was numbered.
The lumber was hauled to the railroad
and packed into freight car. Then it
started for its destination, aeeempa-
MED by car which was loaded with
the household effects.
Mrs. Beckwith, at whose request this
strange form of moving was adopted,
explains it in this way:
but it WASH It sentiment alone that made
us move it. DIR. Bryant was moving to
Indian Territory to live permanently
and we wanted to dispose of the proper
ty on Hardness avenue. We sold the
lot, and the people who bought it did
not want the house. Of course they
offered to buy it, but they would have
had to tear it down and sell it for old
lumber. They were not willing to pay
| for it what it was worth as house.
$50 we decided that we would take
| it with us. If it was only good for lum-
Der anyway and had to be torn down by
somebody we thought that we might as
well be the ones to tear it down. The
house will be rebuilt in Muskogee pre-
clsely as 1t stood In Cleveland. We will
modernize it somewhat and add a few
improvements, but otherwise it will not
be changed.
It is stated by the Bryant family that
their "new' home will have cost them
less than had they bought new lumber
and built new house in their new
home.
"When we are settled in our new
home it will be some satisfaction to
know that we are still in our old
house, said Mrs Beckwith.

A HISTORIC HOUSE.
s'The Dakota'' Built at New Ulln in
1857.

NEW ULM, MINN.-While in this
city, Wednesday,, Governor johnson
was the guest of his brother, T. W.
johnson, at the Dakota house. and in
conversation with Mrs. Setter, mother
of Mrs. F. W. Johnson, the interesting
fact was brought out that the Dakota
house has entertained at different times
every governor the state of Minnesota
has had.
The Dakota house was built in 1857
by Adolph Setter, now dead. but his
wife has been connected with it contln-
uously. Tho quite an old lady, she
still insists in looking after the vel
fare of her guests. s,.e ~.~r-,
She recounts interesting anecdotes Of
the visits of the different governors to
the hotel, from the time Governor Ram
sey came there soon after the Indian
massacre to his return few years ago
when he was present at the fert1eth an
niversary Of that event. Governor
johnson was much interested in the
that there was no other hotel in the
state that could claim a like distinction.
At the time Of the massacre the lob
by Of the hotel was used for hospital
and many Of the wounded were brought
there and cared for, and tho Mr.. and
Mrs. Setter gave up their property and
furnished money and provisions for the
care OF The WOuuueu, IH6y nave never
received anything from the government
or from any other source.
In the outer walls Of the building are
still visible scars of the bullets free
from the guns of the Indians and in the
bricks are still imbedded some of the
bullets.
For a brief period during the time
that the people Of New Ulm had fled tt
st. Peter, the Dakota house was mo-
occupied, and that is the only time i
has been vacant since the day 1t wa
opened.
The large, thorobred foxhound tina
is the property of the governor is be1ns
kept by Mr.. johnson here, and the gov
ernor has not seen him since the cleo
ton. The dog was sleeping on coucl
in the office Of the hotel when the gov
ernor came in and sat down on tn
couch. In an instant the animal wa
up and the demonstration he made owe
his master was one Of the warmest wei
comes the governor has had.
For a long time there was in exist
enoe the first register the hotel had
bearing date from 1856 until 1860, tn
one book covering the entire perio
of time for there were few transient
in those days and the travelling man a
he is now reckoned was unknown.
In this register may be found tn
names of General VIM. T. Sherman
General Pope. General Fitzhugh Lee
Albert Sidney Johnson, General Sige
and a number Of other officers VIII
were in the habit Of coming from For
