Gold Heated Water,

Over 1900 years ago an elaborate
system of filtration was established by
the Egyptians to purify the waters OF
the Nile In both Rome and Athens hot
water was drunk ia preference to
cold by the small minority who used
water for drinking purposes. Cham
pier. writing in 1860, notes that the
habit of drinking hot water was
spreading among all clnsses In France
"Some warm it by holding it ever the
fire. Others dip burning bread into 1t.
Rich people plunge bar Of hot gold
into their water before drinking it.
and the less wealthy bar of hot iron.
while the very poor are content to
warm their drink with a live coal"

TO The Tribune:
The briquetting man is again In the
land. Such have been coming here
for years. It's an old saying that the
buzzard can smell the carrion from
afar." DO these people think there
is something here pluckable?
1t has been several years since the
first one arrived, who represented a
corporation. They are all incorpor-
ated; none of the stock has ever ceen
sold for less than 100 cents on the
dollar. The first to arrive brought
with him an expert on coal. section
of land was purchased; a plant was
to be erected at once; the town was
flooded with illustrated literature
showing briquetting machinery. It's
true, the machinery looked more like
a small sausage suffer than what 1t
was thought briquetting machine
looked: but it answered the purpose;
to show suckers.
BY the way Of Diversion, 1t may be
we'll to tell these briquetting men that
by requesting the secretary of the
treasury at Washington, D. c., they
will be furnished the reports or our

Europe. By careful reading OF these
they will be able to discourse the
more intelligently on the subject OF
briquetting.
But to my tale: The company
which purchased the section Of land
never started the briquetting plant.
We had a rest for several years;
then a man from Fargo showed up
armed with large camera. The cam
era was mortgaged, but this fact did
not prevent 1t from taking good pic.
lures. Pictures of the town; then
each large building, including the alb
attior, were taken. Many were the
surmises why these we're being made.
1t was learned in time. They were
shown over the state to those who
might be purchasers of stock in the
new corporation. The new corpora
ton owned it all; that is, the town.
The abattior was the briquetting plant.
1t was a great scheme; the concep'
ton OF q genius. This promoter made
many trips here, and on leaving town
always paid his bills with a check on
a Fargo bank; these checks always
went to protest. On the return of the
promoter they would be paid with the
explanation that the protest was a
mistake; the secretary placed the
funds in the wrong account.
There would be much excitement
in town on the arrival of the pro.

while the Micaubers were looking 'fo1
something to turn up" Even Mrs
Micauber and the little Micaubers
were Interested It's true one of the
saloonkeepers said he kept an &C
count of the number of drinks OF
whiskey the promoter drank over his
bar during an afternoon, and they
amounted to eighty; yet this did NOT
cause the Micaubers to loose conf
dence in their idol. What a smooth
talker this man was. Inside of fifty
days plant would be in full blast,
and employment given to 500 men;
newspaper was to be established at
once. A room was engaged and type
writer ladies were to be sent to get
the Taper out on typeWriters until the
regular press was gotten. Such stuff
was actually believed by the Micau-
bers. One young man told another
that the person in charge of the prop
erty to be benefited did not take any
interest in the proposed benefits to be
conferred on the town; that he just
dropped everything and showed the
promoter around, and assisted in sink
ing holes looking for coal. He did,
and the livery bills are yet unpaid.
Years afterwards poor man came to
town looking for the promoter and
for ten days-pay for hard work
digging holes.
He is yet unpaid.
We had another rest for one year,
when a party arrived who had the
only real machine in the state; had
an original invention for binder and
lad made the only perfect briQuette.
This party also was at the head OF
corporation, and amongst the stock
holders were the names Of many men
prominent in the financial circles of
cur state. Now the dirt would fly.
Micauber was at last satisfied that
something had turned up. Did he
make any briqu~tte? No.
While on this subject We would like
to ask if there Is any briquette ma
chine in our state; outside of Hebron,
if there is one there?
After reading the reports of our for
eign consuls, we are led to believe
that all briquette men travelling
around the state can be taken with
grain of salt. If these foreign re-
ports can be believed, and we see no
reason why they cannot be, then we
are satisfied that all briquetting men
with whom we have talked know alb
solutely nothing Of briquetting.

Move Is Fathered by Farmers and Not
BY Residents Of Village Of Marmath
Is Claim Of Promoters-Petitions
Will be Circulated Some More and
Another Meeting Called.

Marmath, n. D., Aug. 1.-THE Sec
ond meeting of the residents OF the
southern portion Of Billings county
who are agitating county division was
held in the Roberts school house In
134-101 last Saturday. The commit
tee which was named at a former
meeting to circulate petitions report
ed names enough already, but some of
the committeeman had not yet Nm
ished their work and were given time
to do so.
The promoters of the movement are
farmers and homesteaders residing in
the central and eastern part of the
portion they propose to segregate, not
withstanding the fact that every news
paper in the county assumes that It
is Marmath scheme B. S. Coville,
prominent farmer of the east end
and postmaster of Rainy Butte, is
chairman of the organization, and c.
F. Peterson of Rainy Butte is secre-
tary. A delegation of Beach business
men, consisting of Attorney Gallagher,
E. D. Logan and Editor Wilson of the
Chronicle, attended the meeting and
in behalf of the promoters Of a move
ment to segregate the Golden Valley
country, asked the committeeman in
session to allow them township 106,
ranges los and 100. After lengthy
discussion between members of the
committee it was decided that the
work had gone too far, although all
agreed that the two towns in question
should be included in the proposed
new county of Golden Valley, owing
to the nature Of the roads and the
contour of the country to the south
and their proximity to the Northern
Pacific railway. Another meeting will
be called by the secretary in the near
future after the work of circulating
the petitions has been finished.

Ho old are you .
bV YOUR HAIR !

No man likes to look older than
he is. Every woman on earth abso-
lutely abhors such a condition.
You may be 30 in years, but If you
are baldheaded or grey, people viii
surely take you to be many years
older, and you will be helpless to pre-
vent.
Dandruff is the root OF all hair
evils. If it were not for the little de-
structive germs working with per-
sistehcy worthy of better cause there
would be no badness.
Partisan Sage, Americas greatest
hair restorer, will keep you looking
young and attractive.
1t is guaranteed by Lendart Drug
Co. to make hair grow, and stop fall
ing hair; to cure dandruff in two
weeks; to stop itching of the scalp
almost instantly.
Partisan Sage is the most invigorat-
ing, satisfying and pleasant hair dress
ing made; it makes the hair soft, lux
uriant and handsome; it is especially
praised by women who love beautiful
hair. Partisan Sage is for sale by
