TIMBER LAKE IS NOW
ASSURED OF LAND OFFICE
SECRETARY BALLINGER APPROVES COMMISSIONER
DENNETTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
DENT TO ISSUE ORDER OF
TRANSFER THIS WEEK.

The land Office is not here but it
is on the way. Nothing. is neces-.
sary now but the president order
and that is forthcoming. Secreta
ry Ballinger has approved the re-
commentator Of Commissioner
bennett and there is no further ap-
peal except to the president which
will not be done.
The Mcintosh delegation gave
tip the fight several days ago and
returned home. The delegations
of Isabel and Mobridge are on
their way.
So far as Isabel is concerned
they never had look in but it
appears that it was impossible to
convince them of that fact, SO they
burned up their money on an other
losing game. They are valiant
tribe but use poor judgment. 1t is
one thing to be a fearless fighter
but a far different thing to be
not only fearless fighter but an
intelligent and diplomatic one.
Mobridge, on the other hand, had
backing from the start. They
went into the fight even before we
did and at all stages OF the struggle
were worthy contenders for the
honor. However. when it came to
the point where all arguments were
to be fairly and impartially con-
sidered, they couldn't deliver the
goods, and Timber Lake was
named because, all matters being
considered, it became plain to the
department that this town was the
logical and proper place.
When the news of Commissioner
Denrett's recommendation was re-
ceived here nearly two weeks ago
there was a spontaneous Outburst
of joy and a rather unusual i'm
pronptu celebration followed. The
announcement of Ballinger's de-
cision however, was was received
in a matter-of-fact way. 1t was
taken as matter of course. No
one entertained any very grave
doubts that it would be otherwise.
The matter of formal celebra-
ton however, has been arranged
for, the date and full particulars of
which will be announced later.
We can say at this time however,
that it will consist of several dis
tinct features. For instance, prep
arations have been made for huge
benfre from the top of Scherer's
butte, about a mile west of town.
So that some night this week or
possibly the first Of next. if the
lonely claimholder, from his cabin
door off some fifteen or twenty
miles on the prairies, should see a
mighty streak of fire mount sky
ward, in the direction of Timber
Lake, and paint the heavens with q
red glow, don't tremble and be
come afraid, for it will not indi-
cate the coming of the millennium.
it will simply mean that a prodig
ious pile, of barrels, boxes and ,um-
Der, we'll soaked with oil, out on
the summit of the butte, has been
touched off BY matchin in the hands
of the chairman of the fireworks
committee.
Another feature of the celebra-
tion will be the reception at the
depot arranged for Mr.. Fain when
he returns. He will be met by the
Commercial Club and citizens in
general and escorted in triumph to
his home. After he has had a few
days rest banquet will be given
in the building just south Of the

Herr Knauth. the architect In charge
Of tho Cathedral of Strassburg. has
shown that the principles Of construc-
ton followed BY the great cathedral
builders Of former times are Identical
with those used by the builders Of the
Egyptian pyramids and are based on
triangulation. The same simple geo.
metrical figure underlies all these on
structiOns. More than this. Herr
Knauth traces the architectural prin-
ciple In the formation of crystals and

The Parsooe Of india.

1t a at q point neal the ancient
city Of Surat that the Parsees first
landed in India when driven out Of
Persia by their Mohammedan conquer.
ors eleven centuries ago. Few things
are more remarkable than the manner
in which this small community has re-
tanned its religion and racial charac-
teristics unchanged during that long
period. The peculiar style Of head
dress worn by the Parsees Is said to
have been made compulsory by the
Hindu king Of India when the Parsees
first obtained refuge In that country.
and they have used 1t ever since. To-
day the Parsees are the leading CON-
mercial nation Of India.

EAST INDIAN RUNNERS.
Kahars Who Can Regularly Make q
Hundred Miles a Day.

Hundred Miles a Day.
Ordinary Marathon races seem rath-
er insignificant compared with the
regular performances Of a certain east
Indian caste. These kahars, also
known as Jhinwarb. live In the Pun
jab. where for centuries they have
acted as fishermen and water
fowl catchers.
The men are trained runners and are
said to be able to go a hundred miles a
day without resting. According to
Baily's Magazine. there is a we'll au-
thenticated instance hat Tika Ram.
the son of Lalu Ram, carried dis
patches 800 miles in three days-from
Mean-Mir to Meerut.
The point discussed. however, Is
whether the normal eXertions Of the
Kahar post runners and the similar ex-
their lives, and it appears that the Ka-
HAIRS, trained from childhood to be dis
lance runners, live to be old men. They
are not only able to withstand the
strain of running great distances un-
der a heavy load, but thrive under it.
The ~jinrikisha man. too. nOtwith-
standing his irregular diet, excessive
use Of liquor and exposure to the ele-
ments, lives to a reasonable age. In
Tokyo when a census was taken of the
jinrikisha men a few years ago there
were found to be more than 1900 who
were over fifty-five years of age.

BASEBALL SIGNS.
Their Importance Is Much Greater
Than Their Number.


Among the players we do not use the
word signal" With US 1t is a sign"
There are not as many signs used On
a ball club as the public would believe.
OF course the catcher must sign the
pitcher for every ball that he throws.
That is to prevent confusion or. as we
say, to keep from crossing each
other" The catcher has a sign for a
curve ball, a fast ball and a slow one.
To ball players ali curve balls, such
as the drop and the outcurve, are call
ed "a curve The catcher gives the
same sign for any one of them. We
do not call a ball that jumps lin" a
curve. Ball players do not recognize
the incurve. That Is called a fast ball.
Any ball thrown by a right handed
pitcher with sufficient speed will jump
inward to a slight degree. The out
curve and drop are unnatural curves,
and the bail must be spun in an I'M
natural manner to get that peculiar
break"
The only other sign of Importance
is the one the batter gives to the run
ner when he intends to hit the ball. If
he wants the runner to start as he
swings tthe hit and run play he gives
him a certain sign. There are any
number Of signs used for this play.
Sometimes the batter gives it by rub
bling his hand over the small end Of
the bat. Again, he may give 1t by
knocking the dust from his shoes with
the big end of the bat.-John J. Nc

N SKULL PUZZLE.
A Cavity That May Have Been the
Seat Of a Sixth Sense.

Despite the progress of physiology
the study Of the human body is full
Of mystery. Some OF its well known
organs have never revealed either
their uses or the reason of their crea-
ton. The part played by the spleen
In human life was discovered but re-
Gently. 1t is now regarded as n of
the principal agents in the circulation
Of the blood. But there are in the
marvellous human organism mys-
terious parts which it is possible that
no savant, however profound his
learning. nay ever understand. For
instance, in the skull. behind the car
tilage of the nose. there is q little
cavity Of unknown origin. Physiolo-
gists believe that at one ~time-several
thousand generations ago-it contained
a gland consisting of two lobes joined
by their common base.
This c~avity-the delta turcica-is, in
the opinion of certain %savants, the
vestige of a sixth sense which was Of
great use to the antediluvian ances-
tors Of man. 1t Is believed that this
little gland enabled them to see In the
darkness when they had not yet learn
ed the secret of procuring light: that
1t was the seat Of the mysterious
sense Of situation or locality. the pow
err to orient their course. the sense so
highly developed to this day in saw
ages and certain animals. The theory
Is plausible. but it is doubtful whether
man will yer acquire any real knowl-
edge Of the reason for the existence
Of the delta turcica. Exchange.
