COOKING IN QUEER PLACES:

Meals Partnken of In Midair and
Dinners Eaten Under Water.
One Of Blondin's. most applauded
feats was making an omelet while bal.
ancing on his rope at u dizzy height.
When crossing Niagara he performed
this culinary exploit, Which he sub
sequently repeated in England in many
strange situations, not the least being
above the Thames, which he crossed
more than once.
The summit of Salisbury's spire was
used as a kitchen in 1855, when a
plumber named Handley, having sur
mounted its height of 400 feet, proceed
ed with the utmost nonchalance to cool
an ample repast consisting of a shout
der Of mutton and a couple Of fowls.
Again, in 1852, when the same spire
stood in need of repair James Grist, to
whom the job was intrusted, cooked
and ate q dish of beans and bacon, to
the astontshment of the crowd collect.

On one occasion five adventurous
spirits, under tho leadership Of a Ger.
tain Pierre Roubaud, taking with them
cooking utensils, scaled the spire Of
Bayeux cathedral. On reaching the
gigantic gilded statue Of st. Michael,
which then stood on the summit, they
proceeded to cook their dinner, which
they ate with great gusto, much to the
amazement Of the onlookers, whose
health they drank at the conclusion Of
the feast.
In the tower Of Hrfurt cathedral
hangs a huge bell ten feet high and
| thirty feet in circumference, weighing
| thirteen tons. Within this in July,
1713, dined ten of the towns most op-
ulent burghers on dishes cooked in a
kitchen temporarily erected on the
beam that supported the %ponderous
mass of tintinnabulary metal. To eel
citrate this repast medals were struck,
having on the diverse the portraits Of
the guests and on the reverse the rep
| resentation of the curious scene
A diving bell vas some years since
utilized as n kitchen to supply a repast
for half a dozen c~onvives who, for a
wager, had undertaken to cook and eat
a dinner of half a dozen courses be-
heath the water. This entertainment,
which took place at Naples, was held
In emulation Of a somewhat similar
achievement by SIX gentlemen who had
used a diving bell for partaking Of a
meal cooked on board a barge moored
near at hand.
In 17O8 one James Austin laid a
wager Of f1O0 that he would cook a
plum pudding ten feet beneath the sur
face Of the Thames, near R%otherhithe.
The bet was readily accepted, and
many people focked to the appointed
locale to watch this strange exhibition
Of the culinary art. Enclosed in a tin
pan in the center Of a sack of lime, the
pudding was lowered beneath the wa
ter, where for two hours and a half 1t
remained. 1t was then taken up and
partaken Of by a committee, who de-
clared that Austin had won his wager,
the pudding being, If anything, over
done.-London Tit Bits.

Investigate Sheep Scab.

Miles City Journal:-Dr. A. Smith OF
Helena, deputed by DR.. Knowles to
investigate the sheep scab in Custer
county, has returned from a trip to
Ekalaka and Knnwlton. He has placed
under quarantine the sheep belonging
to Hon. H. N. Sykes and Lloyd Selway
at Ekal,ka and VIM. Fulton OF Tee
Dee. These sheep must be kept under
quarantine for ninety days after the
first dipping.
All the sheep that are under the ban
OF the state veterinary are marked with
a Red S on right ribs and all sheep
owners are advised not to allow their
sheep to minglc with those SO marked
nor to pick them up if they are seen on
the range. The q%uarantined district.
are denoted by the stalking of red flags
and all sheep outside of those in quar-
antine must be bcpt off.

The Biggest Shells,

The biggest shells are found on a
large barrier reef Of the Indian ocean,
1900 miles long, east Of Australia.
Here the monsters come up on the
rocks, which ure almost inaccessible,
and grow to weigh over 300 pounds.
The Smithsonian has one Of these BIZ
valves in its collection which stands
over three feet high. 1t has a saw tooth
edge and inside a large muscle scar.
The natives stand in as much fear Of
them as they do Of a mad elephant,

One irrefutable reason which can
always be presented to the people for
supporting the church and attending
her various services of worship is that
the most lasting good to any person
both morally and spiritually comes from
the church, and the best influence over
and in the family for good can be traced
to this G%od-ordained organization. We
are glad to see so many in attendance,
and we want you to be sure and do all

REGISTERING FOR SCHOOL.
A Big Increase in Attendance Is Prom
ised in New York.

New York. Sept. 7.-School chill
dren, big and little, called yesterday
upon their principals all over greater
New York to register for the school
term which will begin next Monday.
The offices remained open until 3
o'clock, and the teachers will be on
hand again today and tomorrow to
furnish information and accept the
e1igib1es.
While no complete statistics will be
available for some days, there is an
estimated increase of 10000 in the
total registration. Last season it was
1000 below this mark. New sittings
amounting to 10000 have been pro-
vided, and six months from now SO
new buildings will be ready Some of
them will be occupied next week and
the work of finishing the others will
be pushed. so that all may be ready
to receive pupils before another school
term. These new schools will provide
for 93,700 elementary sittings and TO-
$40 high school sittings. Members of
the board of education expect to have
so many school buildings within three
years that no pupil will be refused
admission for full time.
Great precaution is being taken this
year to prevent children under the
prescribed age from obtaining en-
trance to the classes. Birth certifi-
Gates or other indisputable evidence
must be brought forward before a
child is registered

JEFFRIES WON'T DO.
Nelson's Manager, Billy Dolan, Gives
Out an Interview.

San Francisco. Sept. TT have
never objected to Jeffries on the
score of dishonesty, but on account of
the change in the betting I thought
that there might be collision between
Jeffries and the Britts.''
Such is the statement made by Billy
Dolan, manager of Battling Nelson.
Nolan prefaced this remark by the
statement that he was firm in his re-
fusal to allow Nelson to go in the
ring next Saturday if the heavyweight
champion is to be the referee, and
added that Nelson will abide by any
decision that his manager may make.
Nolan declared that Nelson never had
made the statement attributed to him
that any referee. except Billy Roche,
would be agreeable to him.
Nolan said: when Jeffries did not
arrive here according to the program,
but instead sent a telegram to the club
demanding $4,000 for his services, I
considered that we were entitled to
another man. particularly as the bet
ting had dropped after Jeffries was
named. Then when Britt's brother
sent telegram to Jeffries signing
Billy Delaney's name to it, and Britt
received the answer to Delaney ac-
cepting $1,000, it strengthened my be-
lief that there was something wrong"

TO LIGHT FAIR GROUNDS.
That Is All City Light Plant Will Do
Next Week.

The city electric light plant will have
to run next week for the sole purpose of
furnishing light for the fair grounds.
The moonlight schedule is on for
next week and the plant ordinarily would
be shut down. The committee on gas
and electric lights of the council last
night, however, decided that it would
recommend that the plant be run to
furnish light for the fair grounds dur
ing fair week. This action was taken
at the request of the board of directors
of the fair association who claimed that
it has always been customary Tor the
city to furnish the light
The directors wanted the city to fur
nish the poles and the wiring Also but
the city did not have any of these neces-
stiles on hand and the directors will
have to rustic this elsewhere.
No action was taken by the committee
with reference either to the proposition
of E. E. Roudebush to sell the plant
to him or to the purchase of new lamps
of the enclosed type. The former of
these propositions was referred to the
city attorney for advice. The commit
tee doubts whether the city council has
the right to dispose of the plant with
out first submitting it to vote of the
people.
W. F. Schoch, representing the War
ner Electric company, endeavored to
have the committee report in favor of
his lamp The members of the commit
tee who were present. Councilmen
Hughes and Sinrns did not want to
take any action until the remaining
member of the committee, G. K. Holli-
day, was present. The committee has
recommended in favor of the Warner
lamp two or three times but the ways
and means committee has blocked their
recommendations in the city council al
every turn. The ways and means COM
mittee favor the TT. Wayne Electric
company.

BRADLEY GETS LITTLE.
Secures Only $4,000 From First Ma
tional Stockholders.

Twenty-six thousand dollars is the
amount which Receiver Bradley of the
First National bank has secured from
the stockholders upon the 100 per
cent assessment which was levied
against them on the first of August.
All this even is not in cash, but con-
stitutes both promises to pay as well
as cash payments. Thirteen out of
tWenty-One stockholders are on the list
of those who have paid up A number
of the remainder cannot pay and still
others will not Against the latter
class proceedings of legal nature will
be instituted to insure a collection.
The second payment upon the as
sessment is due the latter part of this
week. When the announcement of the
assessment was made the stockholders
were given permission to make their
payments in three installments, the
first falling due on the 7th of August,
the second on the It'll of September
and the third and last upon the 7th of
October. When the announcement
was made, Receiver Bradley stated
that he thought that about $4,000 out
of the 100000 due would be collect
able. 1t looks now as if this guess
would have to be revised and modi-
fed considerably.
J. T. Bradley, the receiver. said to-
day: eve will have to go after some
of these stockholders and make them
pay. We will not act abruptly, but
we certainly will insist that they pay
up. Twenty-Six thousand dollars is
thus far in sight; some of this is in
cash and the remainder in promises.
This, however, can all be relied upon.
Three of the stockholders have given
us their assurance that they would
pay. One of these men I did not ex-
pect to get anything from at all. He
asks for little time, but assures me
that he will make good. He is one of
the smaller stockholders and owns ten

RAIL ORDERS IMMENSE.
A Total of $4,000 Tons Placed Within
Week.

Cleveland, o., Sept. THE Iron Trade
Review in it's current issue says:
Sales of rails since the price of $2S
for 1906 delivery was announced last
week have been tremendous, breaking
all records and furnishing substantial
evidence of very great prosperity in the
iron business, present and prospective.
1t is estimated that these orders for
rails for 1906 placed within a week will
amount to $4,000 tons, and orders for
several hundred thousand tons are pend
ing. Although the United States Steel
corporation has booked very large or
derS, it has not alone enjoyed the I'M
expectedly heavy business from the rail-
roads. The Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany reports its entire rail output sold
for the year 1906 and the Tennessee
Coal, Iron & Railroad company, the
interests are well supplied with orders
Among the bookings of the past week
were the following:
Chicago & Northwestern 10000 tons;
Milwaukee & ST. Paul $1,000; Wisconsin
Central $4,000; Great Northern 10000.
Accompanying the orders for rails are
many orders for cars and locomotives.
The Pennsylvania system has ordered
Is, 900 steel cars. Other railroads have
bought literally and inquiries for at
least $4,000 steel and wooden cars are
pending. The announcement of an ad-
vance of 81 per ton on structural shapes,
although not expected, is received by the
trade being justified by market con-
ditions.
orders for over 10000 tons of struc-
tural steel were placed at Chicago last
week. The market for pig iron is rather
quiet, but in nearly all selling centers
there is an improved tone. The demand
for plates and steel bars continues very
strong, and the trade would not be sur
prised to hear of an advance ON these
products at an early day The American
Shipbuilding company has placed con-
tracts for plates for three large freight
ers, and additional contracts are pend
ing. There is already considerable COM
plant about car shortage. This is prac-
tically true concerning coke, for which
the demand has become SO strong that
the railroads are finding it difficult to
give prompt shipment Some jobbing
interests also complain that they can
not get cars promptly.
