Perpetual Motion cr.nk..

In the days Of the Mayflower the
first perpetual motion inventors took
out their patents for Engines which
beit e put in order will cause and main
teylle their OWL mocions with continu-
ance and without amy borrowed force
Of man, horse, wind, river or brooke"
and in the last century they have ap-
piled for about 600 patents which are
based chiefly on the force of gravity,
loss of equilibrium, specific gravity of
floats and weights immersed in water
or other liquid, accession of receptacles
inflated With air or gas under water,
compression and subsequent expansion
of gases and of the surface tension Of
liquids. SO sanguinely hopeful are
these ingenious designers that in many
cases they provide brakes to stop their
machines if necessary or to prevent
any dangerous increase of speed. The
care and thought expended on the prin-
ciple and detail of many of the inven-
lions demonstrate that mary men "
mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successfully solv-
ing the problem.

A BOY HUNT.

Chased From Hedge to Hedge by a Big
Pack Of Weasels.
The following extract from an inter
esting book may be Of interest to our
friends. 1t is From My Life as an
Angler" by William Henderson, pub
lished in London In 1870.
about this time, while rambling in
the picturesque lane leading from Mer-
rington to Windlestone with two otheY
boys, an adventure occurred sufficient
ly startling to two little fellows from
nine to ten years old. We We're busily
engaged in picking wild Strawberries,
which clustered in the hedgerowa
when We saw at about a hundred

twenty weaNls running from hedge to

stoux city,s Fair.

There is nothing like a fair asso.
citation dividing Its profits with its
patrons. Therein lies the success OF
the Interstate Live Stock Fair
Association Of Sioux City. This
year the men who are at the head
of this "largest independent fair in
the world" as the eastern horse
papers describe 1t, are spending mole
money for attractions OF every kind
than the majority Of state fairs do.
The stellar attraction to many
people, no doubt, will be Horace
Wild, the world-famed aeronaut, who
will make daily flights in his airshlp,
TIE Eagle" The free vaudeville
attractions will be a show in them
selves. In these will be the great
''thriller'' Of the year, "Leaping the
Death Gap Flumes."

In MANY parts OF the state the
farmers are getting together and
building elevators, and 1T looks like
they are trying to put the ether
elevators out OF business. II all the
stockholders patronize Their own
institution 1t will make 1T a difficult
proposition for the line elevators
In the towns hump to do business.
The farmers are not having such
a tine to secure sites from the rail-
road companies as they did years
ago. Along In the early eos, when
the farmers alliance was stirring
things up in South Dakota it was
nearly impossible for the farmers
organizations to secure a site. An
In stance is related Of the summary
action that a farmers company took
at Twin Brooks to secure a site In
those days. Application was made
to the railroad company, but it was
denied. After repeated unsuccessful
efforts had been made to secure a
site the farmers company simply
took the matters into their own
hands and without the consent OF
the RAILROAD company the farmers
selected a site by the railroad and
proceeded to erect their elevator.
When the company learned what
was going on they sent a crew Of
men to Twin Brooks to tear down
the elevator. The farmers having
learned OF the coming Of the RAILROAD
men to tear down their half-com-
pleted elevator got all the help that
they could command and these were
on hand to help defend their build
ing. When the railroad men arrived
they discovered that they were out
numbered three to one and Withdrew
from the scene. The building was
completed and the farmers trans
acted their business without Il
further molestation.

a redhot campaign down IN Penn
sylvania will be started within a
very short time between the republi-
cans and democrats. The latter are
taking the field against the republi-
can party in a way that will make
the state house crowd explain things.
The erection Of the new capitol
building Is to be the basis of their
campaign thunder and will act as a
very good document. The campaign
speakers are to be provided with
various articles to display the people
to show what the state paid for
them ard what they can really be
purchased for at any store I'm the
city. The difference in a great many
cases is appalling. The republicans
Of Pennsylvania will have the time of
their life explaining.

Vermillion has a canning factory
at work Just now. The enterprise
was the result Of the efforts of the
citizens of that town to try and
utilize the product Of the garden and
farm In that vicinity-and things
grow down In Clay county with
amazing. rapidity. We get straw
berriessfrom Vermillion, and a little
later comes. the plnms- and in the
late fall tha4g ship u 8 their apples.
Now the ciEizaa6 arsfcoming on with
a canning factory, and we presume
after while we will be eating some of
the canned goods from the local
factory. AT present they are putting
up the beans and after a short rest
waiting for them to develope, the
tomato crop will be gathered and
canned. This industry is liable to
grow into a big thing for the pro-
moters and for the operators o:
gardens and truck patches around
Vermillion.

Judge Lindley W. Morris, who
holds court down in Toledo, OhiJ,
has the right idea of.the punishment
that Is due the violators of an anti
trust law. and he laid the weight of
the law on bwenty-three Of the busi-
ness men Of that city a few days ago
for the violation Of the Valentine
antitrust law. The men who were
sentenced were lumber dealers, brick
manufacturers and bridge men.
There were thirty men in court on
that day and twenty-three were
fined $1,000 each and sentenced to
serve six months In Jail, while seven
others were fined $1,000 each. In
sentencing the men, all of whom
were old friends Of the judge, he
said that lie had come to the con
clusion that a mere fine Of morey
was not sufficiently severe to place a
check on violations of the antitrust
law and that members OF society
should commence to learn that the
laws cannot be violated and then get
free Of the matter by paying a fine.
The court added the prison sentence
as a warning to other violators OF
the law and he thinks the tine
served in prison Will have a more
telling effect on the men than all
the fines that he could impose. The
court certainly has struck the key
note in sending those men to prison
as punishment for their infraction OF
a state law, and n that is supposed
to work for the uenetit OF the poorer
classes of society. There is some
la gr name roaming over the pre-
serves OF tle United States that
ought to he corralled in the same
way instead of fining them an I'M.

President Roosevelt is getting
plenty OF postal cards these days.
Some of the presidents enthusiastic
friends down in Philadelphia have
originated a novel scheme to get the
people Of the country to urge the
president to again become a candi-
date for the nomination. Printed
postal cards have been scattered all
over the country which contain an
urgent personal appeal to the presi-
dent to again become a candidate,
the person expressing their belief
that 1t will require his personal
efforts to bring about the reforms
which he has started. Every day the
Presidents mail has hundreds of
these postal card requests anc his
friends hope to impress the president
In this mannsr with the unanimtY
of feeling sthat extends over the
entire country of the desire of the
people TO again place him in the
presidential chair. BY responding
to the appeals of the people the
president will be meeting with 5Eeir
heartiest wishes. This is rather
a new method to appeal to a man to
become a presidential candidate but
Mr.. Roosevelt has been so positive
In all his statements not to recon
slider his statement made in 1904
that his friends conceived the idea
of getting a popular expression from
the people of the United States.
There ought to be a great business
In penny postage stamps in the near
future.

The annual premium list of the
state fair, which is to be held at
Huron Sept. 9-13, has just been
issued and a copy his been received
at this office. The list has been
revised on a more liberal scale and
more attention has teen paid to the
livestock department., and increases
in premiums .bave been made in the
dairy department as we'll as in the
agricultural and horticultural depart
ments. OF course the amusement
features have not been overlooked
and a racing program of rare ex-
%cellence has been provided, while
there are other things to amuse the
public. The Fourth regiment band,
OF Watertown, has been engaged to
play during the fair, and Co. L, Of
Aberdeen, will police the grounds.
The state fair gronds this year will
present a more formidable array Of
buildings than Of any previous year,
for the legislature made appropria-
lions sufficient to erect a number Of
new buildings, and the commissioners
Of Beadle county appropriated enough
money to erect a building for that
county on the state fair grounds.
Since the state fair has been located
at Huron 1T has come into higher
repute and it Is receiving the patron
age of home people to a larger ex-
tent. Ever body should arrange to
go to the fair in September.

The acquit1al Of William D. Hay
wood for being associated in tie
conspiracy to murder Governor
S~teunenberg is received with variable
emotions. Boise people do not seem
to understand on what basis the
jury found him innocent, for they
seemed to have regarded the con-
fession OF Orchard as sufficient to
convict Haywood as being the ring
leader OF the conspiracy. The social
lists in the east and west hail his
innocence with pr%otestations of Joy
and want to run Haywood for pr,si-
dent. They claim that 1T is a great
victory for socialism and they will
endeavor to make the most OF the
verdict In their own behalf. The
verdict has placed the laws OF Idaho
in rather a questionable position and
the same murders and atrocities can
be carried on in the future as..in the
past without any thought Of a man
being convicted, although he nay be
associated in the planning of the
murder. The feet that Orchards
confessions we're so many and crimes
so %atrocious that sort CT a wave OF
sympathy was aroused for him, and
further that he had been confined in
the prison ior so long without being
admitted to bail Haywood may not
have been connected with the plan
for the murder Of the Idaho govern
or, but be was found In pretty bad
company ana the whole of Orchards
confessions cannot be regarded as
untrue. When the verdict was told
Orchard, he said that he had told
the truth, and that he had done all
he could and that he was ready to
suffer the penalty of the court for
his misdeeds. John Murphy, the
attorney for the defense, who is
lying at the point of death from
consumption, gave Haywood the best
advice, and that for him sin this
hour Of your great triumph be hum
BILE and thankful The authorities
state that the same cases against

SUCCESSFUL PUMPING TEST
New Compressed Air Pump
Makes Highly Creditable
Showing on Comstock

The Starrett pump which was INSTALL
ed and operated for a considerable time
on the $500 station Of the Ward shaft
at Virginia City. and subsequently, re-
moved to the 2475 station. was yester-
day tested under q 900-foot lift, and
performed its work so admirably that
it subsiantiated all the representations
Of the Starrett Pump Company.
For one hour and q half. the duration
OF the test. the pump that takes mp bat
nine cubic feet of space lifted 200 gallons
per minute from the PAYS station to the
Comstock tunnel level. . distance of 800
feet, with an air pressure Of only so
pounds per squire inch. This perform
ance is all ths more remarkable when
one considers that the pressure per
square inch acting against an ordinary
pump working under a lift Of 800 feet.
Is in the neighborhood of 420 pounds.
This pressure is not so great against
the Starrett pump. owing to the jets Of
compressed air that are forced into the
discharge column at regular intervals,
and which serve as cushions, at the
same time expanding and helping to
force the water through the column.
The advantages Of this pump over
those now on the market are many. In
the first place. it is very light for its
capacity. The pump now in use at the
Ward shaft weighs 100 pounds. 1t
has no vibration, therefore requires no
bracing, which is a very troublesome.
though essential. feature of the average
pump. 1t takes up very little space.
and is so constructed that it affords
easy access to its working parts. 1t
may be suspended in a shaft. submerg-
ed in q stump or placed on a station;
and ON account of its general usefulness
and portability gives promise of being
the coming pump for the unwatering
Of old workings and for use as a per-
manent station pump.
The low pressure to which discharge
columns connected to this pump are
subjected under high lifts, means that
cheaper. lighter and more easily-install.
ed columns may be used to take water
from it. The absence Of plungers and
of packing goes a long way toward re-
ducing the cost of maintainence as COM
pared with plunger pumps. The Star
rett pump was invented by D. w.
Starrett of Oakland, Cal.-Virginia
City Enterprise.
