Denver, Colo.-Under the act for

remarkable attractions, which have
been grouped under the head OF ma
tiona! monuments, and none OF these
is more wonderful than the little
known DEVILS Tower. In northern
Wyoming
The Devlrs Tower is a gigantic
rock 1880 feet high, rising sheer from
the level plain. No doubt it is the
product of long ages of wind and wa

dreds OF miles on all sides, as it is In

The Sioux, Cheyennes and Crows,
who made the country surrounding
the Devils Tower. their hunting

ends about this strange rock In
later years, when the venturesome
white men began to push across the
northern plains, they utilized the

Under the acd OF 1906, giving the
government the right to set aside all
such natural curiosities for the bene-
tit of the people, the Devils Tower
was one of the first national monu-
ments created. The Devils Tower
monument consists of about 1000
acres. and preserves for all time this
landmark. The tower is in charge OF

WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF HIM
Remark by No Means Complimentary
Made by Constituent Of Repre-
sentative Underwood.

Representative Underwood. chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee in congress, represents what is
known as manufacturing district, "
because it contains all the factories
and smelters in and about Birming-
ham. Ala. But he also has among his
constituents lot of farmers--of which
fact he is now painfully aware.
He drove out to settlement in
Bibb county one afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS he stepped up to the porch
of a little store an old man rushed up
to him with the request:
please sign this paper. It's a pet;-
ton to Congressman Underwood to
have a young lady postmistress here"
I'D be glad to sign it," said Under
wood politely; but as am not resi-
dent of this community, my name
wouldn't help you
"Oh, yes, it would" the old farmer
assured him. We're getting every
body to sign 1t, strangers and all.
Go ahead and put your name down!
That fool congressman will never
know the difference!"-The Sunday

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

II can trHthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema About four years
ago l noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If l would have them in water for q
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think of, / went to
three different doctors. but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.

wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set. and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are

The DEVILS Tower.

is generally visited. At present 1t is
many miles from a railroad and few
people visit 1t in the course of a year
Those who make the trip, which is
usually done from the little northern
Wyoming town of Sundance. feel
amply repaid for their visit.
AS one approaches the DEVILS Tow
er his amazement and awe increase
1t seems incredible that any forces OF
nature could have carved the solitary
monument that rears it's head SO far
above the brown plains. The sides OF
the tower rise sheer from the ground,
Its sides of limestone being futed,
giving 1t an almost organ-Iike appear
ance. The rock presents the same ap-
peafance from every side. and to scale
1t seems to be an impossibility. 1t is
SAID that few years ago a man and
woman successfully negotiated the as

We're compelled to drive iron spikes
In the face OF the cliff and mount by
such artificial aids To ascend the
tower without the use of some such
means would be an impossibility.
1T is not unlikely that. in the course
OF year or two the government Will
send an official expedition to the ton
OF the Devils Tower monument. and
that stalrWays and ladders to the sum
init Will be constructed. Surveys
have been made and it is not impos-
s1bie to build a series of ladders and
stairways by which the venturesome
may reach the top of the rock.
The Indian legends concerning the
Devils Tower are many The plain
tribes all regarded the rock with SUI
perstitious awe and the medicine men
ascribed Its construction to the pow
ers OF darkness. Probably this view
has been echoed by the white men In
christening the rock the Devils Tower

the question, too? Incred-
ible as it may seem. scientists are
even now doing that very thing. In
the near future you and l should be
prepared to hear them announce most
learnedly and sententiously the re-
discovery of the human soul.
Here and there, in hospital labora-
tories widely scattered. men of SCI
ence are cropping into the mystery.
Like the medieval scientists who
lived in dread of the ban of Mother
Church, they are mostly working
secretly and are not telling half they
know. For science. that marvellous
machine of modern progress, has its
church. too, as 1t were; its orthodoxy
and it's heterodoxy; its hierarchy of
established rulers who excommunicate
and set autos-da-fe for expounders OF
heresies.
So far the evidence these bold in
vestigators have unearthed is chiefly
negative, yet nevertheless highly sig
nifcant. In the first place, one of
companied by sudden loss of bodily
weight varying from three-quarters of
an ounce to nearly an ounce and
quarter. Some curious experiments
of this kind were made by DR.. Dun
can MacDougall. of Haverhill. Mass.
His first subject was a man dying
OF tuberculosis. He selected a pa
tient dying from this disease because
so great an exhaustion characterizes
its final stages that death occurs with
little or no muscular movement With
a patient quiet, the beam of the scales
can be kept true and any loss occur
ring will be evidenced
In this experiment the patient was
lying on bed arranged on a light
framework which was built on very
delicately balanced platform scales.
He was under observation three hours
and forty minutes before death. He
lost weight slowly at the rate of an
ounce an hour, due to the evaporation
Of breath moisture and persptration.
Keenly the physician watched the
fading hours and minutes of the al-
most spent life. And then-suddenly
coincident with death-the beam end
of the scales dropped with an audi
bic stroke, hitting against the lower
bar and remaining there with no re-
bound! The scales registered an in
stant loss of three-quarters of an
ounce.
What had gone? 1t could not have
been evaporation of sweat, he decided,
for that had slowly left the body at
the rate of tiny fraction of an ounce
q minute, whereas the sudden loss at
death had been many times as great.
1t could not have been. further tests
satisfied the doctor. the air in the
lungs. DR.. MacDougall was startled at
the weird phenomenon. Something
immaterial, yet evidently forcef:ll and
&c weight, had departed with the life.
What in the world was it?
The physician repeated his expert
nents in the last hours of various 9TH
er tuberculosis patients. Always at
the supreme moment the stroke of the
beam came down with an audible re
port, and each time the scales told
the loss Of about an ounce. Could
this thing that so suddenly departed
be possibly viewed in its upward
flight?
Seized with new hope, the expert
menter devised clear white light to
rest along the body Of the subject in
the dying hour In other cases he
covered the bodies with the rainbow

Cement Talk No. Z

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story of
some fire disaster. involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss of human
lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by iirc in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and fire
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in .fimy, non-frspyoof
building contraction. Experience has proved
and economical. In some industries fircproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming more
and more common, due to its fircproofness,
durability and economy. When building any,
thing from the back porch steps to an Office
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of Universai Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure cement of the
best quality possible to manufacture. Univer-
sal is handled everywhere by the best dealers.

REDWOOD PLANS LITTLE GLlDDEN.
Local Auto Drivers May Make Three
DAYS Run to Alexandria, st. Paul
and Home.

A Little Glidden for Redwood
Falls is the latest in automobile
circles.
The Glidden started from. Mime
apolis has only 10 cars and it is estl-
mated that Is could be secured for
the proposed Glidden from here. 1t
is believed that one of the most en-
joyable auto tours of the state could
be arranged and aside from afford
ing a most delightful trip would
prove one IF the best advertising
schemes the place could originate.
At present the talk is to have the
cars run the first day to Alexandria,
about 100, the second day from there
to st. Paul about 200 miles and the
third day back to Redwood.
Final arrangements have not been
made but it is likely they will be
ompleted soon and the trip occur
about August 10.
George Jaehning, A. G.. Dolliff and
Others are actively interested in the
plan.

NEW ARM0RY
FOR REDWOOD
State Board Awards the first
Armory to This city at
Meeting Saturday.
SENATOR CLAGUE IS NOTIFIED.
Money Ready whenever Local
Authorities Want to Begin
the Work.

Redwood Falls is to have new
armory.
This is the word that came to Sem
ator Frank Clague on Sunday morn
ing. from Captain Inglis at Lake
City.
There was a meeting of the State
Armory board at that place yester-
day headed by the governor. Three
armories were awarded. Redwood
first, then Zumbrota and Austin.
The boards action was the result
of three things primarily, the splen-
did showing of the company at Lake
City, the personal work done by
Senator Clague and Joseph Keefe
and the activity of the local officers
of the guard and other Redwood
Falls citizens.
Work on the armory probably will
start at once and be pushed to com
pletion as rapidly as possible.
tbs planned to make the armory
serve as an opera house in addition
to its use for the national guards.

1t was decided at a meeting of

hold the next Redwood county fair
on the streets Of Redwood Falls.
An effort has been made to take the
fair onto fair ground out of town.
Because of the little time left it was

be made this year. An effort will
be made to display the exhibits in
one building and a considerable in
crease in premiums will be paid.

Between 20 and 80 acres will be
secured at $50 an acre, the price
agreed upon last winter. A strip on
the east side of the Redwood will be
secured to give room for a drive way
around the entire park.
Two acres are to be purchased
from Mrs. Schmeckle at $50 an acre.
This will leave about $1,000 for
road building and other improve
ments in the park.
