TOWN OF EVAR1S.
To Be Abandoned Railroad
Failed to Connect Nov
ing to lie Beau.

Pierre, April 4.-The town of Evarts
is to be wiped off the face of the map,
and in few weeks, the town, one of
the most fourishing little cities in
South Dakota. will be moved bodily to
lie Beau, the town recently established
by the Minneapolis and st. Louis road
on the Missouri river. The move is
the result of the action of the Milwau-
kee road leaving the town off the map
when it surveyed its trans-continental
line across the river. Instead of crossing
the river at Evarts, the road decided to
cross at Glenham, eight miles to the
north. The people of Evarts optimis-
tically believed they would be taken
care of some way, but the inexorable-
ness of the road has been demonstrated,
and they refuse to follow it north.
Editor George. of the Eyarts Journal,
will move his paper to LeBeau, and
other business men will move their
buildings or will build new cnes.
The st. Louis road will be running
into Le Beau about the middle of sum
mer, and by that time Evarts, which
has long enjoyed the distinction of being
one of the best "cow towns in the
west, with population of over 800,
will be no more.
The town of lie Beau, to which
Eyarts seems about to move to bodily,
has had romantic experience. Its
ideal location, just across from the
Cheyenne reservation, and at the best
crossing ON the Missouri early gave it
renown. Real estate spectators years
ago doomed it as the coming capital OF
the state, but the approaching railroad
did not materialize, and the town
dwindled 1t will start again as new
town. 1t will be the division point of
the Minneapolis and st. Louis railroad,
and feed lots are being erected for the
shipment of 1900 head of cattle annu-
ally.

ROAD DUST REMEDY.

Sen Salt aud Sea Water Used as a
Cheap Method.
Consul d. /. Murphy, writing from
Bordeaux. says that considerable at
tention has been attracted Of late to
the problem of combating road dust,
which is not only inconvenient and IN
pleasant, but has been found deleteri-
Gus to health.
The Medical society Of Bordeaux
called attention to the evils arising
from this cause and the number aud
nature Of diseases directly traceable
thereto. Tar seems to have many ad-
Vocates as a layer OF dust, but It's use
has been found to have some disagree
able accompaniments. Sea salt and
sea water have been proposed as
cheaper and more effective remedies
than tar. The idea Of using sea salt
seems to be based upon It's well known
property, especially when in large
grains of absorbing the moisture Of
the atmosphere. 1t is this property, 1t
Is claimed, that will dampen the dust
and thus prevent its dissemination.
DR.. Carl, an eminent chemist Of Bor-
deaux, exploits the merits Of sea wa
ter, He mentions the fact that when
salt extracted from sea water becomes
damp It is because Of the impurities It
contains (pure salt not being hygro-
scoplc), carbonate Of magnesium and
calcium being the principal impurities
which provoke this liquefaction.
1t has been suggested that these
salts might be put into the ordinary
water used for sprinkling the roads.
AS prepared in the laboratory, how
ever, or as found as residuum in the
factory, carbonate Of magnesium and
calcium have a market value which
would make their general use very ex
penslve.
DR.. Carl points out that these salts
abound in sea water, from which il
evaporated in great shallow trays by
the rays OF the sun the different salts
crystalllze in order Of insolubility

in laying the dust and preventing Its
dissemination. The expense would
seem to be trihing. No disagreeabl'
odors would offend the nostrils and NJ
deleterious effects follow Its use.
In American places not far from thu
sea the method advocated by DR.. Car
might be found both inexpensive anC
beneficial.

N.,n Test of Death.

Although II Is asserted by nearly
every practicing physician that the
possibility Of being buried alive can
only occur where a medical examina-
ton has not been made. an eminent
German physician and surgeon states
that a stronger. absolutely reliable
guarantee for discerning actual death
is still demanded, and the demand has
been met by the discovery Of a new
medium for ascertaining death with
perfect certainty. This new death test
consists In injecting a solution Of fiuo-
resceln deep into the tissues. II circu-
lation exists, the skin and mucous
membranes become very yellow and
the eyes assume the color OF emeralds.
II the circulation has ceased none, OF
these results occur. The discoverer
proposes that at least two hours before

life is not yet extinct the injection
does no harm, and the coloring within
a short time entirely disappears with

If 1t can be proved to her that Stan

freely to announce that she was mis-

charges But, In face OF the fact that
her daughter told the story she did
after taking a solemn oath to speak
the truth. she hardly knows what to

What Mrs. Holman will do is a ques-
