Treasure Owner Thought Valueless.

There is a slab of black stone in the
British Museum which, if you could
walk away with it, and establish your
claim as the owner, you could sell any
day for quarter of a million, and find
half a dozen money kings in England
and America ready to buy it.
There is nothing very striking about
this stone; it might be piece of black
marble with some peculiar hieroglyphics
upon it. But it is just these hero
glyphics which make it so valuable, be-
cause they are the key to all the ancient
writings of the Egyptians, and without
this stone, called the Rosetta Stone, we
should be unable to read the Egyptian
writings which have been discovered
from time to time.
Some French tourists found the
Rosetta Stone in Egypt, and transported
it to Paris, where an Englishman took
a fancy to it for a garden ornament.
He paid 95 for it-fve sovereigns, and
got a treasure which you could cover
with gold, and yet not represent its
value; but till the day of his death he
did not know what that bit of stone
was worth.-London World.

TROUBLES OF ONE EDITOR
Because Tie Advertised Trip County
Eastern Men Think lie
owns ~.

BoNEsTEEIA S. d. Feb. Z7.--Cspeoial.)-
The prospective opening Of Trip county
to settlement is not only creating an influx
OF people. but leads to many amusing cir
cumstances tending to show the vague
IDEAS people Of the eastern part OF the
nation have of this "boundless west"
one OF the most amusing Of these Is the
troubles OF one OF Bonesteers editors, Mr..
Ferd Reichmann. MIR. Reichmann Is en-
terprising, and foreseeing the trend OF
events and knowing that there would soon
be call for maps Of the new territory
to be opened. he had map made OF Trip
county and since the bills authorizing tho
4 opening of same have passed congress, he
has advertised his map in a modest way
in the daily papers in the east. In his
little advertisement he states that there Is
about one million acres OF land TO be
opened TO settlement, People back east are
evidently willing to believe anything OF the
wonderful possibilities in the way OF ac-
cumulating wealth in the west-at least
great many OF them. who probably never
heard Of government homesteads seem to
think that Mr., Reichmann owns this mil
lion acres Of land which he advertises.
He is being overwhelmed with letters from
eastern people who want to go into partner
i
Gently he received a letter from man who
offered to send him buyers for the land
| II he would enter into a contract agreeing
to pay the customary "one dollar per-"
Mr.. Reichmann Is polite as well as enter-
prlsing and he at first attempted to an
swer these letters and set the writer's
| right, but the letters increased he soon
abandoned that idea. Many OF the letters
are from men Of means who are looking for
an investment, but who are not posted on
the opening up of Indian reservations. Mr..
Reichmann is calling on his friends for
aid and is now turning a part Of the let
tiers over TO A. f. Kull, secretary of the
Bonesteel Chamber of Commerce the Greg
DRY County Abstract company, the Church
Information bureau and other concerns or
/ persons who agree to answer them. Mean
time the letters are increasing and Mr..
Reichmann is being dubbed Millionaire

CATTLE-1here was another rdfr run of

however, show "A decided falling off as COM
pared with last week and year ago.
While there was no great change In the
market for beef steers this morning the
feeling was decidedly better, Packers acted
more as II they wanted the cattle and there
was decidedly more life 70 the trade than
yesterday. Prices were fully steady and II
anything a little strong in spots. The me-
dunn kinds Of cattle II anything. sold more
freely than the heavier grades
There was also more life in the cow trade
and desirable fat cows and heifers sold
more freely than yesterday. AS to prices,
there was not much change, the market
being generally steady with now and then
sales CT something that buyers happened
to want that looked little higher. Some
cattle that were carried over from yester-
day afternoon brought more money than
was offered yesterday.
The supply of ste ckers and feeders in first
hands was very small, but there were a
good many in the hands of spectators
Still there seemed 20 be a fair demand, es-
pecially for good stock cattle. which are
selling decidedly better than was the case
week or two ago. This was to be ex-
pected, however, as the season is near at
hand when stock cattle and feeders of me-
dunn weight ought to sell better

EerrYhont Goes Down.

BONESTEEL, S. D., Feb. T.-(Special.l-,
The gasoline ferry boat Oriole belonging
to II. NJ. Carroll and which for years has
been operating at the Wheeler crossing,
sunk to the bottom of the Missouri river
yesterday. The boat is valued at $4,000
and was considered one of the best ferry
boats on the river Mr. Carroll did not put
his boat in dry dock last fall as he has
been in the habit of doing, but allowed IL
TO freeze fast in the river. When the leo
broke the river raised rapidly and lifted
the Orlole partly upon the river bank. As
the river receded the boat was left hang
ing the bank, but gradually slipped
into the river on its side, the hold filling
with water, thus causing It to sink. II Is
feared that the boat will be total loss, as
II will settle into the quioksand, making
II almost impossible to remove II.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Increased stocks OF
wheat at Minneapolis and lower. prices at
Liverpool were the chief factors causing
q weak wheat market here today. At the
close the May delivery was on h44sc.
Corn was down bgkc Oats declined NO
nc. Provisions were up 2hc to lOc.
Commission houses commenced to sell
wheat ct the opening of today's market on
the report that the amount of wheat IN
store at Minneapolis had increased 10000
bushels, and on the statement that prices
at Liverpool had declined Nd. AS the ses-
sion advanced additional news of a bearish
character was received which added fresh
impetus to the selling movement. 1t was
reported from Russia wheat crop In the
southern provinces of that country had not
been as seriously damaged as had been
reported. Conditions in this country were
also favorable to the bears. Receipts In
both In the northwest and southwest was
favorable for the crop movement. The
market closed weak May opened un-
U5hc, sold at TIs@7Sc and then declined to
77hQ7%c. Final quotations were at Thc.
Clearances of wheat and -four were equal
to 1885, 900 blu. Primary receipts we're $40 900
blu. against $4,000 bu. for same day last
year Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re-
ported receipts of AS cars against 376 cars
last week and 40S cars one year ago.
Trading was quiet in the corn pit and
the market was in sympathy with wheat.
Local receipts were almost 100 cars in ex-
oess of the estimate and weather condl-
tiohs were favorable for the movement Pit
traders were the principal sellers and Of
houses The close was easy with prices
at the lowest. point Of the day. May corn
opened a shade higher at 47Izc, sold Off
to 97ho and closed at the bottom. Local
receipts were $50 cars, with two of contract
grade.
Oats were weak on realizing by small
holders. The break IN wheat was largely
responsible for the selling pressure. Small
local receipts caused considerable buying
by cash houses, but the demand was not
sufhcient to prevent a material decline in
prices. May oats opened unchanged to a
shade higher at 42%d421Sc to 421hc sold up
70 l2tc, and then declined to 42c. where It
closed. Local receipts were % cars.
