New Industry for Black Hills.
Minneapolis Journal:

Minneapolis Journal:
Custer, S. D., Aug. II. Within a
few weeks new industry will make
its appearance in this portion of the
Black Hills that will furnish tenn
porary employment to many men,
women and children. 1t is the sea-
son of the year when a bushel of
pine cones brings more than a bushel
Of potatoes.
Plans for the reseeding of the
burned and devastated sections of
the Black Hills national forest are
now being laid by Supervisor Kelle-
ter in the northern half and Super
visor lines of this section. This
work next year will be far more ex-
tensive than ever before, and conse-
quently will cost the government a
far greater outlay, but the result is
expected to more than pay for the
cost in future timber.
This reseeding will require an
enormous number of seeds which
can only be secured from the cones
at certain seasons, and the work of
gathering them gives opportunity
for many persons to make money.
The government will pay rs cents
busheI for cones in good shape and
properly sorted, and no limit has
been placed on the amount to be
purchased. It is estimated that a
wagonload of cones will be worth

Winona Gains Great Industry.

Against practically every state in
the west, Minnesota has won out in
! its fight to have the Oxford Linen
Mattress Co., a 100000 Maine cor
poration, settle in its midst.
Robert G. Gould, president of the
company few days ago signed con-
tracts for the purchase of large
tract Of land at Winona. upon which
suitable buildings Of fire proof con-
struction will be erected forthwith.
Several of the unsuccessful bidders

| lieved will in time make American

of the worlds greatest textile in

to the company to establish itself in
their states. /,
Minnesota was selected as the site
of the mattress company after an
exhaustive inquiry into the merits
Of the claims presented by dozen
other western states which sought
to secure the new industry, because
of its superior shipping facilities by
both rail and water and its accessi-
bility to the heart of the flax grow
ing country.
Winona has the advantage Of
transportation by the Mississippi
and five lines of railroad.
The Oxford Linen Mattress Co. is
subsidiary Of the Oxford Linen
Mills of North Brookfeld, Mass.
This company controls the process
Of Benjamin Cushing Nudge, an in
geneous Yankee, whereby flax can
be converted into linen for manu-
facture in "a hours. In view Of the
fact that it takes from 20 to 80
weeks to effect this change by the
processes used in Europe, the Nudge
discovery foreshadows a revolution
in the linen industry akin to that
wrought in cotton more than a cen
fury ago by the invention of Eli
Whitney's cotton gin.
While one of the greatest of the
worlds consumers of linen. the
United States up to the introduction
of the Nudge process has never
been able to manufacture linen pro-

PRISONS BREED TUBERCULOSIS.
10000 COnsumptiyes in Penal Institu-
lions of Country.

That there are $4,000 tuberculous
prisoners in the state. federal and
local prisons and jails of the United
States, with less than Is special in
stitutions and hardly 800 beds for
their treatment, are some of the
charges made by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis in the following bull
letin issued today.
From several Investigations that
have been made, it is estimated that
on an average about fifteen per cent
of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculo-
sis. On this basis, out of $4,000
prisoners housed in the penal institu-
tions Of continental United States at
any given time. not less than 1000
are infected with this disease. If
the Philippine Islands and other in
sular possessions were taken into
consideration, the number would be
much larger. Some of the prisons
of Pennsylvania. Kansas and Ohio
show such shocking conditions with
reference to tuberculosis that many
wardens admit that these places Of
detention are deathtraps. Similar
conditions could be found in almost
every state. and in the majority of
cases the only sure remedy is the
destruction of the old buildings and
the erection of new ones.
Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment Of
their tuberculous prisoners. These
institutions can accommodate, how
ever, only 800 patients. In three
fourths of the major prisons and in
practically all the jails Of the
country the tuberculous prisoner is
allowed freely to infect his fellow
prisoners, very few restrictions be-
ing placed upon his habits. When
the congregate mode of prison life
is considered, the danger of infection
becomes greater than in the general
population. New York and Massa-
chusetts are the only states where
any systematic attempt has been
made to transfer all tuberculous pa
tients to one central institution. The
largest prison tuberculous hospital
is in Manila, where accommodations
for 200 prisoners are provided. The
next largest is Clinton Prison Hospi-
tai in New York. which provides for
$50.
The fact that 100, 900 prisoners are
discharged from the jails and pris-
ons of the country annually, and
that from ten to fifteen per cent of
them have tuberculosis. makes the
problem of providing special places
for their treatment while they are
confined a serious one. So import

ant is the problem that the Prison
Association of New York in cooper
alton with the State Charities Aid
Association is preparing to inaugur-
ate a special campaign for the pre-
vetion of tuberculosis in the penal
institutions of the state, and will
seek to enlist the cooperation of all
prison physicians and anti-tubercu-
losis societies in this work.

 The ladies who assisted Mrs. Perry in receiving were, Mrs Coop. CT, Mrs. Hickman, Mrs. Crawford. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Playter.
 First on the program was the Photo man, and though he said h. was not a moving picture man" he thought that from the half dozen exposures he might secure a good one of the American Col onv."
 The guests were then conducted through the beautiful garden to the front porch, which with it's long white table, surrounded with vines. sweet scented hlwerS and cooled by a gentle breeze, brought to mind places we have seen in our own United States.
 The guests found their places, slip of paper with their names hay ing been placed over each plate. After all were seated, Mrs. Perry made a very amiable address, in which she welcomed one and all and concluded by stating that each guest would find under his or her plate small " Toast" to his or her partner. These were short verses to each guest in which some fact or incident was we'll brought out and created much merriment as each guest stood up and toasted" his or her partner.
 The walters then got busy and the guests followed suit. The table was laden with good things to eat and drink, the turkey and roast pork with the "apple sass" were never better prepared and they were but starter. A Birthday Cake was then brought out and the candles CD lighted, after which dozen more without candles-but this seemed to make no difference every one enjoyed them just as we'll without the candle favor.
 After the coffee had been served, cigars were passed and as the ladies were on their good behavior" there were plenty for the guests.
 Mrs. Perry gave "toasL" to ali present, which included Mr. Perry who in return gave one fitting the occasion, after which nearly all the guests had some little appropriate toast, amongst whom special men, ton should be given Mir.

 All had done justice to the din. ner and it seemed nice to remain seated, but Mir. Scogland requested all to retire to the tennis court, which had been prepared for d dance.

 Cattle here this week 3l 400 last week g 200 same week last year 34, 100. Liberal receipts Monday and Tuesday at all points caused decline of 10 to 25 cents those days on steers, hut a part of this has been regained since, and heifers did not suffer so much at the start, hut have not exhibited any recup- erative qualities since, and close the week 10 to 20 lower. A certain class of medium steers, showing grass, are cut sharply when buyers m Ike the discovery of the grass sntecedent of their flesh. Top streers this week brought $8.20, on Tuesday, the low day of the week, and respectable number of sales have been made at $7 S5 to $8 10 since, including one at the former figure to-day. Bulk of steers have dropped down to range between $6 70 and 7.75. Quarantine steers have arrived rather literally, mar ket only a shade lower for the week, prices from $500 to $7.65, with a few grass steers down to $525. Colorado beet fed steers have been selling at $7.10 to $7.75 this week, not much different from recent weeks. Native cows range from $4 % to $6 75, heiters $5 co to $7 50, best veals now at $750 10 $S 9. Stocker and feeder trade has been very light, and quiet, prices lower for the week, stockers at $400 to $6 35, feeders $5 9 to $6 65. More cheap country grades of cattle arc coming than a short time ago.
 Hogs here this week 45,S00, last weeek 28,600, same week last year 70,90O. The increased supply met a much better demand this week, said to be account of greater con sumption, incident to lowering of prices by retailers. The market has exhibited strength on all but one day this week, and the close is about 10 higher than week ago, including a small gain to day. Heavy hogs bring $9 40 to $9 55 to. day, medium weights $935 to $95 50, light weights $9 15 to $8. 40, pigs $8 50 to $900. Demand on shipping orders has been greater this week, and the outlet is a good deal broader than a week ago. ] Sheep and lambs dropped p 10 40 cents Monday, and have held about steady at that decline since. Offerings from feed lots have been 1 scarce, and not very high grades, the limit on wooded lambs is around $9 co, top to-day 1875. A i year ago this week was the highest on record up to that time, with lambs at $9 9. Wethers bring up to $175, ewes $750. Arizona spring lambs are worth $S 50 to $S 90, Texas muttons this week on different days $6 00 to $6.80, some of the Kelly & Norris wethers at the latter price to-day, and a good run of goats this week, mostly at $500, few at $550, and tail ends at $3.50 to $4 %.
