Rurolar's Umbrella.

Among a collection of articles used
nv burglars when engaged i'll theif
nefarious calling is one particular con-
trivance that trouses great interest.
In appearance it resembles q large
umbrella that has seen hard service.
It was formerly the property OF a
burglar, and it was by it's means that
he was able to enter the second story
OF a building Removing the cover
stick wound with ropes is revealed.
The stick opens like a telescope or
ioiHted fishing rod. Wound round it
is a rope ladder, made of strong ma
terial and about Is feet in length.
The ladder is only wide enough for
one foot to be placed on the rungs.
The extending stick was used to raise
one end of the ladder to the window
through which the operator wished to
enter. and on the upper end OF the
ladder are two hooks to be fastened to
the sill. ,....
This imitation umbrella is regarded
as one of the most ingenious affairs
ever made use of by thief.-Tit Bits.

interesting Facts Concerning Hot
Springs, S. D., In the Black Hills,
"The National Health Resort"

The city of Hot Springs, South Da.
kota, is situated in the lovely Mime.
kahta (hot water) valve at the source
of Fall River. 1t is 3,400 feet above
the sea level, and is surrounded by
picturesque pine-clad hills.
The climate of Hot Springs is more
perfect than that of any other portion
Of the United States, and the crisp
mountain air, laden with the odors of
birch and pine, grows soft beneath
the wooing of the morning sun. Gil.
matte conditions are unlike those of
any other part of South Dakota or
the west; unlike even those nearby
portions of the Black Hills, where one
would suppose the atmospheric con-
diticns to be precisely the same. The
days are invariably bright; the sum-
mer nights cool; sudden changes in
frequent. The air is singularly pure,

IT will be. remembered that the In
dependent about year ago severly
criticized President Taft for his re-
commendation to congress for legisla
tion doing away with trading in
options on the grain exchanges of the
country. Our reason for such criti-
cism was that such legislation would
make il necessary for the grain buyer
on the local markets TO reduce the
price to the producer from 3 to 5
cents bushel to cover the risk of loss
before the grain could reach the
market. The option system furnishes
a protection TO the buyer which al
lows him to buy grain without MAX
ing provision for this extra risk That
we were correct 10 our theory and justi-
fed in our criticism is now proven by
no less an authority than President
Taft himself, who uses our theory 10

WITH six more votes than the neces
sary two-thirds majority the resolu-
ton for the election of senators by
popular vote went through the senate
where similar resolutions have previ-
ously been killed Public sentiment
and the fear of the consequences to
themselves if they maintained opposi-
tion to this popular measure, brought
enough senators in line to carry
through the resolution A few rock
ribbed stand -patters still held out
against the resolution thereby renew
ing their opposition to popular govern
ment. The ratification OF the measure
by the several states will take time,
but it will go through all right, says

block in the way of this reform has
been the senate itself. 1t is now

will elect the United States senators

water from the enclosure is in pro-
gress. 1t is the hope of those in

ly exposed it may be determined
whether the explosion which did the
damage occurred within from its
own magazine, or from a mine
laid by the Spanish. No doubt they
will come to decision, but after all
it will be only theory. The explosion
of mine against the outside of the
ship could, and very likely would,
cause an explosion from the magazines

would blow the shell of the hull out

explosion from the outside. 1t will
