Mitchell Clarion.-When "Old

preparation graft through the leg
islature the Clarion opposed it bit
terly Notwithstanding he was at
that time a full fedged machine
republican. The Sioux Falls Press
howled as loud as we did. We still
think him an unsafe proposition
but the Press is now sounding his
praises. He is an insurgent now.

THE IVORY MARKET.

big London Docks.

One of the sights OF Eontion il fhe
great ivory floor at the London docks.
where previous to and during the pc
rlodical sales ivory may be seen liter
ally by the acre, for the tusils are. iald
out In lots on the floor of one OF tho
great warehouses for inspection by i'll
tending purchasers. For weeks previ-
GUS to the actual sale the special staff
of the ivory department has been busy
preparing the various conSignnents
and arranging them according to the
sizes and quality and chasing them
Into the various grades. each of which
has some particular use for which 1t Is
especially adapted.
There is practically no waste IN the
manufacturing of articles from ivory.
The smallest chip Is not thrown away,
but carefully preserved to he utilized
for some purpose. Even the shaylngs
from the turning down of q billiard
ball have market value for use in in
laid work. Consequently the lots in IN
ivory sale by no means consist OF
tusks and sections of tuslls alone. but
include the residue from many previous
sales. Buyers purchase the particular
class that they require for their own
Individual industry and subsequently
return what in most other materials
would be waste to be resold TO manu-
factuTers of q different class of goods.
Though there is mo waste" oddly
enough the most important cOnsidera-
ton from q buyers point Of view, il
chow much waste" will certain lot
produce in the course of transforming
it into his own particular line. Thus
lot that would be dear to one would
be Il gift 10 another. and vice versa.
The most valuable class of ivory is
that suitable for making billiard balls.
tusk must he perfectly sound and
solid, without the slightest suspicion
of crack or flaw, and. moreover, they
must measure only n trlfe more than
the regulation size billiard ball or
they will cut 10 waste, from the manu-
factilrcrs' point of view On the arriy-
nj of a consignment of unworkcd ele-
plant ivory from abroad the first prep
aratlon for the sale floor consists OF II
thorough cleaning of the Interior or
hollow part of the tusk. This Is done
by means of wads attached TO long
sticks. The exact length of the hollow
Is thereby revealed. and In addition
cracks and flaws that cannot be OBJ
served on the exterior are mt times dis
closed. Soundness Is the one thing
that SWANS every Class NJ buyer; flaws
mean waste: waste means resale at n
lower figure per pound.

PRosPERlIsY


4 a farmer was 81 the Martett hotel
this morning The weather was the
subject Of the conyersat alton.
ut rained very little Of my home
yesterday afternoon, but I see 1t did
not rain here at an. live about ~
miles from Fairmont. On my way
here this morning ! crossed the Big
tPawpaw creek. 1t was almost over
flowing its banks this morning. The
farmers along there told me that
there had been a regular torrent OF
rain in that section yesterday after
noon. They said it literally poured.
It is TRANCE how. sometimes, the line
can be easily found where the rain
came in torrents and again where it
did not fall at all, but made an awful
fuss; I hear that lightning struck a
house at GAINESVILLE by one Of It's
pranks."
Crops ABOUT the Average.
When asked how crops are coming
this summer, the farmer was chuck
full Of inspiration to help the CONVEX
satton along.
Wheat is in fair shape" the vet
eran remarked. Spring wheat is
better than winter, for it was not,
touched much by that big May frost.
That frost hurt most everything. I
got my wheat all shocked yesterday.
1t did not head so well this year.
Nearly all the substance went to the
straw.
Potatoes did about the same thing.
i pulled up few vines day or so
ago, and find that there are very few
potttoes again t.1is year All life
seems to have gone to the vines.
without leaving much substance be.
hind for the potato to live upon. !
think they ought to discover a way to
'prune' potato vines, to that all the
substance and sap won't so up into
the 'twigs and branches
Apples are about as they We're
last summer. Not many of them.
There were two things which Econspir.
ed against an excellent crop this year.
They were the late frost and the June
bugs. Both of these have injured the
crop. Neither will there be any
peaches Of any consequence. What
will be, viii be small and twisted.
There will be lots Of tomatoes late.
in the summer. think. They are
only in blossom now, SO, it is hard to
tell just yet what win come of them.
81 don't know why it is" said this
old wheelhorse Of prosperity; "but
somehow we don't seem to have as
