NEW GOLD FIELD
Claimed to Have Been Located Near
Huron,

Claimed to Have Been Located Near
Huron.
The report Of the discovery Of gold
and silver on the Col. Edward Sterling
farm, known as the Sunfower ranch,
two miles north of Huron, and now
owned by e. T. Stoner, has created
some comment. During the state fair,
while examining the exhibits made by
the State School of Mines, Mr.. Stoner
saw some similar to that found on his
farm while digging post holes. He sent
a sample OF the sand to the assayer at
the State School of Mines and has Just
received that officials report, which is
to the effect that the sand shows .O4
ounces of gold to the ton and 20
ounces of silver to the ton, there being
80 cents worth of gold and IA cents
worth of silver in a ton, a total Of "a
cents a ton for the sand and gravel
found on the farm. The report is not
sufficient to guarantee Mr.. Stoner in
declaring that he has a gold mine, but
he has planned for the examination of
the ground by an expert mining engi-
neer, and upon his report depends fur
Their investigation. Sand similar to
that found on Mr.. Stoner's place has
found at various points along
the Jim river, but after sinking a num-
Der Of holes, developments were not
to guarantee further investi-
cation. In Brookings county, at Oak
Wood lakes, a few years since, gold
was discovered in quantities much
larger than those indicated on Mr..
Stoner's farm, but after two years
prospecting and the expenditure of
much money, 1t was decided that gold
In paying quantities did not exist
there, and this may be the case of the
present find.

THANKSGIVING DINNER
REAL LUXURY THIS YEAR
Costs Twenty-Five Per Cent More Than 1t Did Some
Ten Years Ago-Everything Boosted.

Prudent housewives who keep in
close touch with market prices, affirm
that every year the Thanksgiving
dinner costs more, and the 1907 meal
will attain the high water mark.
The mother who spends her day in
the kitchen preparing the splendid
feast Of turkey, pumpkin pies, celery
and fruit that ranks the big event of
the great national holiday, must have
n well filled purse to meet the increas-
ed demands of those from whom she
purchases her supplies.
In fact ten years ago., n short dec
ade, it was possible to set out the
meal for fully 25 per CEN less than it
costs this year.
The turkey has mounted so in price
that many housekeepers with limited
means have been forced to #supplant it
with the duck and the goose, and 9TH
er essentials have advanced so steadi-
1y that in many homes fowl disap-
pears from the table altogether.
The boost in the price of turkey is
perhaps the worst of the c~atastrophes,
for the big gobbler is to Thanksgiving
day what the frecracker is to the
Fourth of July. Or the gift to Christ
mas.
The turkey is soaring steadily. 1t
used to be possible to buy the finest
for IA cents a pound, now the average
is over 20 cents, and in many cases
the fancy price mounts up to 25 cents.
Even at the 20-cent figure this is an
advance of 6 cents a pound, and as it
takes a f~ifteen-pound turkey to meet
the demands of the ordinary good
sized family, the price of the dinner
on the turkey alone is advanced 81.
Other similar increases help to
make the problem more troublesome.
Butter costs from 6 to 10 cents a
pound more than it did a decade ago.
The egg that plays such a part in the
preparation of the various dressings
is now from 8 to 10 cents a dozen
higher than in 1906.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1907-11-22

So with the fruit. The oranges that
are spread at the finish of the meal
cost a dollar a box more, the bananas
IS cents a bunch more. Nuts have in
creased in price 1-2 cents a pound,
and the cheese that goes with them
as the ideal finish to a big dinner, is
worth on an average Of 5 cents more
per pound than it used to be.
The coffee and tea are both mount
ing, especially the latter, which is nov
81 cents higher than formerly.
The pepper that goes into the sea-
soning is now valued 5 cents higher
per pound.
Supposing in dismay at the threat
ened cost Of turkeys, the prudent
housewife turns to ducks, she does not
get a great deal Of comfort. They are
cheaper, but only a shade, and all
meats have felt the upward influence,
and cost considerably more per pound
than they used to.
Truly things have changed since the
hrst Thanksgiving day in Puritan
times. when the stern head Of the
family went out into his own farm
yard, picked out the right kind of
looking turkey, dispatched him into
kingdom come, and then turned the re-
mains over to his wife for the feast
Of tho year. In his own garden patch
he gathered all the vegetables he
needed, and with all the essentials
for mince meat the wife was able to
make the favorite pie.
Even later than the Puritan days,
right up to our present generation, in
fact, the housewife did much more In
the way of getting ready the features
OF the Thanksgiving feast. Even city
wives and mothers prided themselves
on their mincemeat. and would have
shrunk from buying it ready made,
but now the essentials cost SO much
that she is driven to the extremes of
buying the pies ready made or taking
a chance on the doubtful materials
that 60 into mill-made mincemeat.
In order to verify these figures it is
only necessary to consult the newspa-

"The duty Of giving thanks to God
for benefits and blessings enjoyed by
individuals is plainly and forcibly
taught in the Bible, and it's reasonable
ness and propriety will be acknowl-
edged by all who admit the existence
and providence of God. With equal
c%learness and authority does God call
upon nations, with which He deals as
really as He does with persons. To
acknowledge Him in all their WAYS.
to obey His laws, and to render Him
thanks for the protection bestowed
upon them, and for His patience with
them Notwithstanding their forgetful-
ness of Him and their rebellion against
His government. And if nations are
under obligations to give thanks to
God, it is the duty of rulers to remind
them of this, and to designate the
time for this service, and it is the
duty of the people to comply heartily
this appointment"

WOMAN ROUTS 10.
Indian Shows Big Knife, but He is
Afraid to Use n.

~ SoS
For putting a Sioux Indian to flight
after he had drawn a knife upon her,
Mrs. c. G. Matter, who with her hus-
band resides on a farm In the southern
part of Faux county, is looked upon
as a heroine.
During the temporary absence of her
husband, Mrs. Matter discovered that
the Indian and members of his family
were picking scattered wheat from the
ground. She demanded of the man
that he dump his sack of grain on the
ground. He made a defiant answer,
and jerking out a huge knife he CON-
menced whetting the blade. Mrs. Mat
ter had in her hand a heavy riding
whip, and raising this she faced the
Indian warrior and calmly Informed
him that he had better go as the
threshers would soon be coming and
they would fix him. The Indian made
a hurried departure.

MICROBES DESTROY PAPER.
Germans Find They Cause It's Dis
coloration and Decay,

Germany has been looking into
the question why paper does not last
forever, and has come to the conclu.
sion that its decay is largely due to
bacteria. They injure the texture
and destry the color.
The brownlsh spots which appear
In old books and which are known
to English bibliophiles as foxing are
really due to the Bacterium prod.
glorum. This tiny destroyer is es-
pecially fond Of starchy media; and
It's propagation is promoted by damp.
Ii has long been known that damn
produced foxing, but the share of the
microbe In the operation has not
hitherto been suspected
Then there is tiny fungus or
mould, Penicillium glancum. 1t is
responsible for gray and black marks
upon old papers and In spotting the
surface II also helps to break down
the fabric and hasten the process of
It's destruction.
There are many other microscopic
enemies OF paper and they abound
chiefly In those which are glazed
with gelatine. Given n little mois-
turc and little heat and these will
multiply in the surface Of a picture
or diploma on highly finished paper
Just as they would in the culture
tube of biologist.
Several methods OF fighting these
bacteria are proposed. One is to
substitute for animal glue IN en'eh-
Ing fine paper glazes made from
rosin.
These, It is said, give equally good
results and totally defy the inva-
sion Of microbes. II is also proposed
to introduced chemical agents in the
manufacture Of paper which arc
known to be fatal to microbes
This, however, involves many COM
plications.
When the paper is to be used for
water color painting and printing in
colors, almost all chemicals are
barred as they are apt to combine
with the pigments in the course Of
time and completely destroy them
But for ordinary writings papers,
small quantities either Of bichloridc
of mercury or OF antiseptics of the
carbolic class may be introduced with
out impairing the use Of paper for
ordinary purposes, whether writing
or printing, and at the same time
rendering 1t proof against the ordin-
ary processes of decay.

Ing them and then returning them
to the sea with the chance Of retakina
ttem later is part of the work car
rled on by the Marine Biological ASS
1ciation of Great Britain.
BY means of a steam trawler the
fish are caught In the usual way.
zach haul is carefully recorded, the
FISH are counted and measured and
Ill details of locality, tine. number,
II ccies, sex and size are put down,
together with accurate observations
On the water, the depth end bottom
of the sea, the kinds and quality of
iood available, &c. These data are
subsequently tabulated and charted.
The method has been attended with
valuable results. The fish chiefly
ured during the few years The expert
mont has been in rogrss have been
Elaice, because the proposals which
lave been made to interfere with the
catching of them were based on in
adequate knowledge.
The fish are marked on the dorsal
surface with very thin convex met
Gl disk bearing a number. This Is
attached to fine silver wire which
IS passed through the thinner par.
of the fish near the fin and secured
IN the under side by small bone
button. The fish do not appear to
suffer inconvenience and their growth
is not interfered with in any way.
The thoroughness with which the
North Sea is swept by the nets OF
The fishing fleets is demonstrated, ,
says Discovery, by the fast that out
Of 5000 marked plaice of all sizes
992 were recapturcd within a year.
This represents 1877 per cent, or
rcarly one-fifth but for the medium
sized fish the figures are far higher,
ranging from 2S.4 TO 80 por cent. for
the whole of the North Sea and to
49 per cent. In the more northern
portions.
The men of thu regular fishing
leet cooperate by forwarding to the
laboratory OF the association at Low

At the laboratory reference to the
records easily establishes how much
the fish has gained in size end weight
since the previous catching. More
over, the distance between the spot
where It was released and the place
where 1t was again caught gives an
idea as to It's move ments.

Origin of "Whip Dog Day"

late as 1857 there is record of one
of these officials at Dunchurch. who,
armed with wand that had fork

church during sermon time and wake
the sleepers by crooking 1t around
their necks. Sometimes the wand
had fox's brush at the other end.
with which to arouse lady sleepers
more courteously. In some places
the whip for driving dogs out of
church is still preserved; and re-
Gently the schoolboys had custom
of whipping the dogs out OF the
street on st. Luke's Day in similar
way. A curious entry in the Wake
field church accounts runs thus:
