THE BIG GOVERNMENT DAM
COMPLETED.
The Highest Masonry Dun in the
World.
On Sunday, January 16th. at 2.-00 p.
m., the United States Government com
pleted the highest masonry dam ever
built anywhere at any time. This dam
also has the smallest spread, from base
to top, any dam of a considerable height
ever built.
The dBm is in Rattlesnake and Cedar
mountains in the northwestern part of
Wyoming, seven miles west of Cody and
about sixty miles east of Yellowstone
Park. The dam is 70 feet across at the
base of the fonndation, 108 feet wide at
the river level and 170 feet wide at the
top. It was started in 1905 and has
been five years in building. Almost
200,000 barrels of cement and 90,000 tone
of granite were required to comAfte
the masonry work. It is built intone
channel of the Shoshone river for the
purpose of impounding the waters of
that stream to conserve the waters of
that stream to conserve them for irrigat
ing what is known as the lands of the
Shoshone Irrigation project, comprising
150,000 acres of land lying along the
banks of the Shoshone River and along
the Burlington railroad to the east of
Cody. When the waters are impounded,
they will form a lake of ten square miles
with an average depth of 70 feet and a
capacity of 148,588,512,000 gallons, or
enongh water To cover 450,000 acres with
water one foot deep enough water to
irrigate more than twice the acreage of
the Government Project.
Upon this dam and other engineering
works of this project, which include an
outlet tunnel through the solid rock, a
diversion dam at Corbett and a tunnel
therefrom 3) miles long through the
solid rook, the Government is spending
about $7,000,000, or almost one-seventh
of the total amount $50.000.000 thus
far expended on the various Government
irrigation projects scattered throughout
the country.
During the past year hundreds of set
tlers have taken up lands under this
project and have done exceptionally
well, even for a llrst year.
The lands of the project are reached
by the Burlington Route, which is
spending millions of dollars in the con
struction of new lines through this rich
nnd fertile country known as the Big
Horn Basin of Wyoming.
BELLWOOD.
From the tiazetta.
Geo. Allen, formerly of Alexis town
ship, passed through Bellwood Tnesday
to David City with the dead body of his
wife, who died at Belgrade the latter
part of last week.
Grandma Ldllie is reported very ill at
the home of her son Henry at Cohen,
Neb. Her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Grant
and grandma Gerard left Thursday morn
ing for her bedside.
After about a week's illness with ap
pendicitis Waller Mark died on Friday
morning lust at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Barley west of Bellwood,
where he had been working.
Clyde Perine, after about a wevk's
illness with appendicitis, died Thursday
morning about 8 o'clock at the home of
his father-in-law, James Jerdon, who
lives just across the line in Polk county.
He was married only a few months ago
to Miss Cora Jerdon, therefore leaves a
young wife to mourn her loss. Deceas
ed was about 24 years of age.
A farmer near our town recently
hired a lad to help him do chores. One
morning he told him to take some salt
and salt a calf out in the pasture. The
boy took a quart of salt with him and
thoroughly rubbed it all over the calf,
working it into the hair. A gang of
colts in the pasture scented the salt and
got after the calf. They licked all the
hair off the calf and nearly took the hide
off too.
MONROE.
From the Kepnblican.
Gordon and Miss Maude Hill came
up from Oolnmbas Saturday to spend
Sunday with their parents.
Vestal Moore bought the livery busi
ness Tuesday of Frank Dickinson. Mr.
Moore began his duties Wednesday
morning.
Monday of this week revival meetings
were began at the Methodist church,
and will probably continue for several
weeks. Rev. Rose, the pastor, has
charge of the meetings.
A number of friends gathered at the
home of John Kelly Monday evening and
helped him celebrate his seventy-eighth
birthday. An oyster supper was enjoy
ed by all late in the evening.
S. Bordy of Columbus who has been
selling a stock of clothing in the Munter
building, moved his stock of clothirg
back to Columbus Tuesday. He has on
ly been here for the past month.
That the independent elevator is a
good thing for a town has been amply
demonstrated here this winter, as more
grain has been marketed in Monroe this
winter than in a number of years. And
then the fact of having an independent
elevator is also a big advertisement for
the town, as farmers know that they will
get all their products are worth.
Emigrant Potatoes.
Irish potatoes, like Irishmen, do bet
ter abroad thau they do at home, and
just as the average Irishman when he
gets to the colonies becomes a gov
ernor general, like Lord .MacDonnell
or Sir Gavau Duffy, so the average
Irish seed potato planted in England
knocks spots out of the average Scotch
or English seed. Irish Homestead.

The Noise Habit.
A personal experience first showed
the writer the possibility of a state of
affairs where the habit of noise could
become as fixed as the habit of a drug.
Waking one night In the quiet of a
country bouse far from other habita
tions. I suddenly beard the starting ol
the hot air engine which pumped the
water chug, chug, chug, chug. I lay
listening to its monotonous vibrations
and wondering at the unusual hour
for pumping until I fell asleep. The
next night the sound was repeated.
On mentioning the matter to my host
he confessed that be could not sleep In
the quiet of the country; that the sud
den change from the roar of a great
city to the silence of the woods was so
great as to cause him real suffering.
As his only way to rest be would leave
the house in the middle of the night,
start up the pump and. lying down In
a nearby hammock, find sleep brought
him by the lullaby of the hot air en
gine. That mau recognized that he had
the noise habit and finally conquered
it Hollls Godfrey in Atlantic.
Oddly Named.

merriment for his guests. The question
for their satirical inquiry was, "What
was its order of architecture?" One
said it certainly was Grecian, another
contended it was Saxon and a third
that it was oriental, wbeu their host

MICROBES IN THE SCALP.
The Latest Explanation is Uhat Mi
crobes Cause Baldness.
Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and Dr. Sabourand, of Paris, France,
share the honor of haviog discovered the
hair microbe.
Baldness is not caused through a few
weeks' work of these hair microbes, but
is the result of conditions brought about
by 'their presence. Baldness may not
occur until years after the microbes
began work, but it is certain to come
sooner or later.
The microbes cutoff the blood supply.
They feed on the fatty matter about the
roots of the hair, through which the
blood is absorbed. Finally the fatty
matter is consumed, the food supply of
the hair is gone and it Btarvesand Anally
dies.
Keeotcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
Napbthol is a most powerful, yet abeo
Intely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents development of germ
matter, and creates a clean, healthy
condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is au ingredient well
established for its power to restore
natural color to human hair when loss of
color has been caused by a disease.
Borax, because of its well-defined soft
ening and cleansing properties, is most
useful in the treatment of scalp and
hair disease. Glycerine acts as a stimu
lant to the hair bulbs, and has a soothing,
bealingand nourishing influence. Alco
hol is indispensable in medicine because
of its antiseptic, stimulating and preser
vative qualities.
We want every one who has scalp or
hair trouble to try Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic, which contains r.ll these ingre
dients. If it does not give you complete
satisfaction in every particular, we will
return every penny you paid us for it,
for the mere asking and without ques
tion or formality.
Of course you understand that when
we say that Resell "93" Hair Tonic will
grow hair we do not refer to cases where
the roots sre entirely dead, the poree of
the scalp closed, und the head has the
the appearance of a billiard ball. In
cases like this there is no hope. In all
other cases of baldness Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will grow hair, or cost the user
nothing. Two sizes, 50 cents and 91.00.

Pollock & Co.. the druggists on the cor
ner. England's Old Common Field System.
A "common lield" is quite distinct
from a "common." It is a field be
longing to numerous owners. The land
consists of long narrow strips, perhaps
not more than ten yards wide and run
ning parallel with one another. What
are the exact rules of cultivation that

but of old it was usual to have a regu
lar rotation, such as wheat one year,
barley or oats the second and fallow
the third. When the crops were har
vested, each member of the community
getting his or her share, all could put
lu their cattle, which roamed over the
whole Held, feeding on the stubble,
etc. Aud this was termed the "right
of sack." The "common field" system
was gradually done away with by

A Fish That Gives Paint.
The well knowu brown pigment call
ed sepia Is obtained from a ten armed
octopus found principally in the Med
iterranean and more especially at the
head of the Adriatic sea, where it is
caught by the natives for food.
The sepia is contained in a bag and
is really the black fluid of which wc
have all read as being discharged by
the creature to cover Its esrapc. Some
naturalists say that the fluM Is brown
ish, which becomes more credible when
we know that this is the source of
sepia. The pigment Is really a powder
which dissolves in water. Its strength
maybe estimated by the fact that it
will color 1.000 times its own bulk.
When the octopus has been killed the
sack or bag is removed and dried to
prevent putrefaction. The sepia is
treated with ammonia or caustic soda,
washed and dried. It Is one of the
most durable of paints, except wbeu
fully exposed to the fierce rays of the
sun, and an even surface can be ob
tained with It more easily than with
most paints. Sepia has been obtained
from a fossil cuttlefish thousands of
years old nnd found to be quite good
for paint.
The Chang From Black to Red.
"See that little womau who just
went out?" remarked a Fourth avenue
milliner to a customer. "Noticed that
red bat. did you? Well, as a milliner
and a person whose business it is to
study the different characteristics of
women I have watched her for two
years. It has been a kind of study of
the 'evolutions of a widow.'
"Two years ago she came to me. re
cently bereaved, and had me mal;e her
a bat or. deepest black. She was bro
ken hearted and declared she would
never again take au Interest in the
pretty things that women like to wear.
A year ago she came again.
" 'Don't you think I might have the
least bit of white in my new hat?' she
asked.
"'Yes, I said; 'I think you might.'
nnd the bat was made. Three mouths
later she came for another hat. aud
she stood for a little touch of laven
der. Next she had a big white plume,
and last week 1 made her that red
bat. It just shows what time will do
in lifting up a heart bowed down."

The Releaser.
If he hadn't been a dreadful bore
and the hour wasn't so late It is quite
possible the lovely girl would have
refrained from the exercise of a stra
tegic scheme, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
"Hark!" she whispered as be paused
iu the midst of a long winded de
scription of his camping outfit
"What Is it?" he whispered In re
turn. She smiled reassuringly.
"It's only papa. He must be oiling
the releaser."
"Aud what Is the releaser?"
"It's one of papa's ingenious
schemes. Every night, at exactly 11
o'clock, he pulls up a brass chain that
releases our brlndle bull pup from
his annex adjoining the kitchen; that's
all."
And she laughed merrily. The caller
glanced at the clock on the mantel.

Trapping Baboons.
Hagenbeck in his book says that bab
oons are caught in traps made much
like the huts of savages. Food is put
into the huts, and once the baboons go
inside a trapdoor closes behind them. (
. - .1.. t
uutsiue uauoons mase u greui io uu
and urge the prisoners to escape.
Wben the trappers come the captured
baboons are terror stricken and try to
force their heads tbrougL the walls of
the huts. One baboon was caught
three times in the same trap, and sev
eral when turned loose got back into
the same trap a second time. When
the baboons are carried away all their
comrades thereabout climb into trees
and scream out to the prisoners, who
answer in sad. mournful voices. On
one occasion some big Arabian bab
oons were trapped, when 2.000 or 3.000
baboons hurled themselves upon the
trappers, who bad bard work to save
themselves with firearms and clubs.
Ac tlio tnnwrs were forced back the
victorious baboons tore up the trapi
and turned loose the captured baboons.

Getting Away From Land.
The question has. been asked. Is It
possible to sail 1.000 miles from'land?
This cau he done at several points.
By leaving San Francisco aud sail
iug northwestward into the uorth
Pacific a spot is reached where there
is no land, not even uu islet, for 1,000
miles iu any direction. So. too. sail
ing from the southern point of Kam
chatka southeastward ships reach a
point equally distant from land of
any kind, the nearest to the north
being the Aleutian Islands and to the
south the outlying members of the
Sandwich group. In the southern
Indian ocean it is possible to sail
1,000 miles out from the southern
points of Australia and New Zealand
nnd still he as far from any other
land, and the same may be doue In
westerly direction from Cape Horn.
Indeed, from this point a much longer
distance might be reached, for the
southern Pacific between the Horn
and New Zealand covers a space of
SO degrees of longitude and 40 of lati
tude of absolutely unbroken sea, mak
ing Its central point over 1.200 miles
