A popularity of illuminate of mer-
curry Is that It produces shock to
which all other substances are sensi-
tive. and Its supreme value as an ex-
plosive rests In this fact and In the
known liability of all explosives to be
detonated by more or less distant ex-
plosions. There is current of sympa-
thetic influence In these terrible chem
ical compositions that is as strange as
II Is dangerous. What is required to
produce explosion is the rapid genera
ton Of great heat along with large
quantities of oxygen. In gunpowder.
for instance. the nitrate Of potash
(saltpeter). which Is the chief ingre-
dent. is practically imprisoned oxygen.
and when 1t is decomposed along with
charcoal an immense heat Is developed.
which causes the gases to expand sud-
denly; hence explosion.

The first male celebrity who made
his mark as a dressmaker was Rhom-
berg, the son of a Bavarian peasant
from the neighborhood Of Munich. One
day In the month Of May. 1870. beau
tiful equipage was seen driving about
Paris with an escutcheon In the shape
of corset and an open pair of scissors
In the middle painted on the panel OF
each door. That was Rhomberg's coat
Of arms, and II told Its own tale. He
was genius In his way and owed his
success chiefly to his skill In disguis-
Ing slight deformitles and bringing out
the most attractive charms Of his fair
customers. He rapidly made fortune
and left his heirs an annual Income Of
$4,000 francs. Under the first empire
and the restoration Leroy supplied the
dresses of the ladies Of the court and
the higher nobility from his splendid
mansion In the Rue Richelieu. An eff
fusive encomium was written upon
him by Anger. a member Of the acad-
envy.

senate. 1t new only remains for the
president to sign and it will become a
law. Over year ago the order went
out that only settlers who had settled
on the forest reserve before 1898 might
prove up. and that all others must take
down their fences. Much excitement
prevailed in the southern hills at that
time. 1t was thought that some sec.
tons would be depopulated. and wild
threats were made by the settlers that
if the fences had TO come down they
would burn them without regard TO
timber Finally stay of proceedings
was granted for one year, and in the
the settlers got together and
formulated their request. Last Janu-
airy the Mining Mems ASSOCIATION took
up the matter and reported in favor of
the enactment of law which would
give all actual settlers no matter when
they settled, the right to homestead his
claim by paying 81 80 an acre This
law provides also for the protection of
land and water rights. The
law will be great benefit to the Hills,
as it will not only enable many settlers
to become permanent residents, but it
will also develope much agricultural
ground which supply small grains and
vegetables for local markets

how it happened to be where it was

That the great artesian basin extends
to this part of the state has been demon
strated by the striking of fine flow of
water in an artesian we'll drilled on the
farm of s. A. Keenan,, near Clark. The
well is only l60 feet deep and has flow
of thirty. five gallons per minute, which
is ample for all farm and domestic
purposet. The well is i IA inches in
diameter, and was completed at
moderate cost Many such wells will
now be drilled by other farmers, as the
striking of the flow on the keenan,
farm solves the water question in this
region.

town and from there are being sent out
along the right of way. clear to the

that there are over one thousand men
employed. The company has 500 car
loads of ties stored in the WATERFOWL
yards and expects to have many more.

to Condo in Sphinx county, and from
there in almost direct western direc-
ton to Hoven in Potter county, passing
through the towns of Mellette and
Worthwhile in Sphinx county, Cresbard
in Faux county and Hoven in Potter
county, at which point it turns to the
northwest to lie Beau on the Missouri
river in Walworth county. This point
is opposite the mouth of the MORGAN

west of the river. The road branche
at Condo, and the branch extends in a

a greater number of filings than for
April. The demand is so great that a
