The utriko made by the switch nnd
yardmen of the 1) ) . & M > does not promise
great results for the strikers. The claim
is made that they quit work because one
rihuridan was promoted to bo night yard
master out of the line of promotion ; that
ho had been n conductor and should have
been promoted in another direction. This
s the ostensible excuse for the strike ,
but the real one is understood to be thai

they desire < n places of authority. About

The grain dualers of Nebraska have
just concluded a meeting at Lincoln. One
hundred and fifty delegates were p res
cnt , representing over 500 elevators. The
b.'lls ' passed by the legislature at its last
session received attention. It will be re
membered that the law forbids pooling ,
and the association perfected an organi
zation in conformity to the provisions of
V the now law. The gram dealers have a
mutual insurance company for their own
protection. The high rates charged by
insurance companies led to its organiza
tion. The report of the ollicors indicates
that it is in a satisfactory condition and
that insurance has been secured up to
date at a much lower rate than hereto
fore. The organization has been made
permanent.

1. The constitution of the state requires
that all claims upon the state treasury
must bo oxamiued and adjusted by the
auditor and his action approved by the
secretary ot state , before any warrant
can bo urawti therefor. This provision
w applies to all claims whether claimed by
virtue of a spccilic appropriation or not.
2. The making of a specific appropria
tion by the legislature for the purpose of
paying a demand against the state is , in
no SOIIHU , the auditing of such claim , and
the duties and responsibilities of the au
ditor and secretary of state with refer
ence to the payment thereof are not di
minished thereby.
8. Tlio legislature has no authority
under the constitution to audit or adjust
n claim against the state , and if money is
appropriated to pay an alleged claim , or
one which the state docs not owe , and the
auditor so finds on examination and
adjustment , it is his duty to issue a war

HE WAS VERY CALM. '
Jlcrolo Demeanor of n Dakota Mnn
Under Trying Clrcumatnnccs.
A well known resident of Si6ux Falls
was out driving in the country one day
last week , says the Dakota Bell.Vhllo
coming back and about four miles from
the city , a heavy wind came up. To the
well known resident it looked cyclonlah ,
and ho drove up to the first house. Ho
went in nnd found three or four ladles ,
who were alone in the house and some
what frightened.
"There is no danger , Indies , no danger ,
I assure you. Simply a straight wind-
no cyclone. Keep cool By the way or
is there a collar under the house ? ' '
"Yes , sir. "
"Uml that i.s good. No danger ,
though as I said. 1'ray keep calm and
it will bo over directly. Whore where
did you say the cellar door was ? "
"Over there in the corner. "
"Ah , yes , thanks , this one. Yes , I'll
open it might as well ho open as shut ,
you know. There will bo no need of
going down , however. Simply a little
thunder shower accompanied by wind , "
"We're not very much frightened. "
"Of course not that's right : neither
am I. " Just then the house began to
shako nnd the limb of a trco scratched
against the window. "Don't bo at all
alarmed , ladles , you keep right still.
Good collar , 1 suppose , " ho added , peep
ing down.
"Yes. "
Hero a board flow off the fence and
slapped against the side of the house.
"I'm going down a moment , ladies ,
don't bo frightened ; the house is safe , "
and IIP. shot down the stairs , slipped oil'a
broken step toward the bottom , ami
landed in a box of egps. "Stay right
where you are ladies , " ho shouted from
the cellar , "it is about all over now. " -
Just then the wind blew open the out
side cellar door and an empty barrel
rolled down.
" ( Jreat ohl , nothing at all ! " howled
the man as ho leaped over into the other
side of the cellar ; "try and bo calm ,
ladies. This wind will purify the atmos
phere. You aren't scared much , I hope ! "
"Oh , no , not much. "
' 'That's right ; keep up 5'our courage
ladies arc usually so easily frightened.
Say , " as ho tried to dig the sand , which
was blowing in , out of his eyes , and
topped in a crock of butter , "say , would
jno of you mind going around and shut-
ing that outside door. "
"Wo will when it stops blowing a little. "
Then an empty box tipped over and
'oiled ' down the stairway , ihe wind roared
ouder than ever , and there was a sharp
lap of thunder.
"Bo calm , ladies ; try nnd bo calm for
your own sakcsl Oh , great heavens ! it's
going , it's going ! " ho groaned , as Ito
irouched in one corner in a box of glass
ruit cans and thought ho saw one corner
f the house raise n little. "Oh , good
ordt I'm lost ! it's going sure. Keep
cool , ladies , there is no danger ! For
heaven's sake see that corner Hop up ! Becalm
calm , Indies ; simply n little Hurry of the
wind ! Oh , I'd give a thousand dollars to
bo out of this"and ! he dug his feet into the
box and broke two cans of strawberries.
'Try and bear up , ladies ! It will soon bo
over ! Oh , if I ever get out alive I'll leave
this blasted country ! Good gracious , la
dies , when are vou going to shut that
door ? Bo calm ! Becalm ! but shut that
door ! "
"Mollio has gone out to shut it now
, ho wind is all over , " replied one of the
adies.
"Yes , it's all over , I know , " replied the
man , cautiously coming to the foot of the
stairs. " 1 told you it soon would be.
You see there was no reason for becom-
ng alarmed. But you ladies always will
you always will , " ho added , as he came
on ui > and peered out of the corner of a.
window.

DR , DE BAUSSET'S ' BALLOON ,
The Monster Air Bbip With.Whlcn . He
Hopes to Navigate to tbo Fold
WHERE THE CRAFT WILL STOP.
How tlio Inventor of the Vnouuin
System or Acrontntlou Looks
nna Tnlks When In His
Baiioluin.
"My great nir-ship , 'Do Arctic Ex-
plorcr , ' vlll start to travel to de nort'
polo naix Suno , posseteef , " said Dr. Do
Baussct to a reporter for the Mall who
called to sec him about his grand scheme
of aerostation.
"lie vill go 120 miles do hour in alti
tude live miles above do airt' , or do
locmcct of resplrablo air. Look at him , "
and the inventor pointed to n big chart
on the wall , where n long cylinder with
conical ends was painted in bright red.
Along the side was a faithful representa
tion of a woodshed roof gaudily painted
blue. "Oat ecs do vceng of do aero-
piano. Dat vill keep do ship in one
plane , also prevent him to fall to
do ground. Along de aigc of do
vecng is a gutter to catch do rain and
prcvont him to fall on do passengers.
Below is suspended de car , vicli will con
tain 200 vuyngcurs , fret nnd mail mat-
talre. As to the dimansiongs of do air'
ship , he is 031 feed in langcc , 141 foot in
high , and mail of laminated steel 1-11 of
an conch tecck. Trco force of do air
vitin dees cylinder isoxhowst and do ma
chine rise grandly into /.o atmosphere.
To propel do ship in de car arc air-pumps
of immangse power , driven by electric
dynamos. Deso dynamos are supplied
by electricity from storage batteries ,
which 1 have invent. Ket ecs not like
do storage batteries vich are now in use.
Ah , no. So soon as 0110 is emptied 1
take anoder and leave the first to recup
erate. Ho recover hees own electricity. "
"Why don't you patent that ? "
"Von ting at a tune. Von do nir-ship
is complete dain it vill bo tune to get out
a patent for dat. "
The doctor went on to explain , his little
( lumpy form swelling with enthusiasm
and his black eyes flashing , how the
pump would suck in thu air from in front
of tint ship and expel it from the rear ,
thus realizing the "Rime of the Ancient
Mariner , " whore to the question of what
makes the ship go on so fast , the answer
u returned :
"Tho air is cut away in front and
driven on behind. "
"But will a cylinder of steel as think ns
n common pin , as long as the exposition
building , and as high as the Pullman
stand the pressure of lifteen pounds to
the square inch ? " asked the reporter.
"Ah ! dat ces de groun" queshong , " re-
.tiled the doctor , wagging his grey ,
pointed beard and glaring over his eye-
; lasses while he readied lor a f rush cigar-
tie.
tie."Unless it was braced strongly it could
not hold up his own weight. "
"Of course not , " declared M. de Bans-
sot ; "but it vill bo braced vit r-rings nnd
armatures and stavs. "
"Of what sort ? "
"Oho ! Dat cos nawn of your bees-
ness , " tartly rejoined the inventor.
"But , " ho continued , "ven do air isex-
houst one-fourth vijl be left to relieve de
pressure of de air , vich at dees level is
only twelve pounds to do square couch.
Dat would leave nine pounds to bo sus
tained on every square eenah. "
While the doctor was talking the re
porter did a little liguring. which showed
that on every square yard of steel left
unbraced there would bo an air pressure
of 11,001 pounds , or nearly six tons. Mr.
Do Baiissot claims , however , that Fair-
burn's forn. 'a proves that the cylinder
can stand Hit strain. This formula reads :
l L equal the length , D the diameter ,
nnd T the thickness of the tube , and I'
the collapsing pressure ; then I * equals
0,072,000 into T over L D. This settles
the question conclusively.
The cylinder is to bo divided into nir-
tight compartments so that if the navi
gator wants to point the ship's nose up
ward to ascend on an incline plane , the
air is pumped out of a forward compart
ment. If he wishes to descend on an in
cline plane all he has to do is to pull the
cork out of the compartment and grace
fully float earthward. Tlia doctor ex
pects to have the machine icadv long
before next Juno and promised the re
porter a free ride , if the "head editor' ,
was willing and could spare him.
The programme announces in its own
straightforward style : "Tho starting
point will bo from New York City , and
the route will bo as follows : l-'roni New
York to Philadelphia , Washington , To
ledo , Chicago , Omaha , San Francisco ,
Yeddo , Canton , I'ekin , Constantinople ,
Turkey ; Rome , Italy ; Paris , Franco ;
Berlin ( icrmanyCopenhagen ; , Denmark ;
Stockholm , Sweden , and St. Petersburg ,
Russia. From this last city directly via
Greenland to the Arctic regions. The
timo-tablo allows one hour's stop at each
station.
The prospectus is adorned witli a beau
tiful cut of this immense cylinder , float
ing iu the nir ( jirectly over Black Jack's
bum-boat , while Chicago lies stretched
out below. Goose island is plainly discernable -
cernablo and away over in Du Page
county , two vigorously erupting volca
noes are pegging away for dear life. The
foothills of wild and mountainous coun
try diversify the landscape about Wicket
Park , rising to grander heights in Jell'er-
.son , while lofty peaks crowned with ever
lasting snows rear aloft their hoary heads
where Commissioner Klehm now hoes
his corn.
Dr. Do Unussct claims entire original
ity for his scheme , on which ho has been
at work for the last twenty years , but a
man , shortly after the air pump was in
vented , tried the same thing with a globe
of thin copper with the result of a col
lapse. The doctor was naked if he ha'1 '
made any experiments , but ho "hemmed1
and "hawed" and linally admitted that
ho had made two. One was with a thin
glass globe which shivered into bits the
moment the air was exhausted , and the
other was with thu globe of an incandes
cent electric lamp.
"See how ligjit it is.1 exclaimed the
doctor , and tried to make it stand 01
end. But the little pear-shaped bull
would topple ever just as clumsily as i
it had been "ohuck" full of air.
Thu high-sounding appellation of the
company of which M. de Dausset isprcsl
dent , ami which is to build this air-.slup
is the Transcontinental Acriel Naviga
tlon company , nnd was incorporate *
with u capital stock of if 100,000 , at f 100 i
share.
An effort was made to find out how
man'shares had boon taken , but M. do
Baussot was very shy about saying any
thing on that score , and declared that ho
was talking science just then. If his
visitor had come to talk business tha
would bo "dcellerong. " Ho said , how
ever , that if a person gave $100 or 410,000
he would only get one seat in the air
ship , From what he said it was learnei
that neither of the Farwella , Marshal
Field , "Old Hutch , " Phil Armour or any
other of the prominent scientists of Chicago
cage had laid their little all nt his feet to
nld iu the grand cause of conquering for
man the untrodden empire of the uir.
On the back page of one of the pnm
uhlets which Dr. do Baussot goU out ho
has given to mankind gems of thought
of which the following tire the brightest
"Galileo found that the earth rotate
and translates"
"The word 'impossible' has been usci
by eminent authority iu regard to uiauj
nvontlons , cixch of which riovr Is n pro
nounced success. "

Urcnklnc Down and lintltllna Up ,
When a man breaks down In the hut-
cr of physical strength , the question of
ts recovery depends in u great measure
ipon the length of time ho allows toclapsu
before adopting medicinal means to reeu *
lornto it. A tonio , vylticli gives n speedy
nd powerful impulse "to the process of
igcstlon nnd uss'.milation ' , is the best
uxillary ho can employ , nnd ho should
esort to It promptly. The most reliable
epetidonco of the feeble , the nged and
lie nervous , has ever proved to bo Hos-
otter's Stomach Hitters , an invigorant
of national reputation and proven worth ,
onimoiuicd by medical men of dlstinc-
ion , not only for building up a broken-
own system , but as a remedy for dys-
> epsia , constipation , liver complaint ,
t'.vei and ague , and kidney trouble.
Vhile not claimed to bo u panacea , it is
most useful and comprehensive house-
ioltl remedy. It is , morovcr , eminently
afe as wull as allVetivo.
AN ACCOMPLISHtD CAT.
/nu Spar nnd IMny Dilllnrdx , niut
liiinvvH Cheese Snnilwluliua.
Thomas Flynn sat dozing upon the top
> f the cashier's desk in liiliiardi.st Tim
'lynii's Nassau street parlors yesterday ,
ays the New York Sun , when the clinic
of a silver dollar that a customer throw
lown rudely disturbed liis repose.
Thomas Flynn is a black and white cat
> f heroic nun that has a reputation in the
lilliard world. Cornelius Flynn , the
champion slippery-polo climber of Alder-
nan Uivvor's coterie , ( hiding it necessary
o get at the cash drawer , hit the stalwart
L'homas Flynn a cull1 over his oil1 ear , and
en amateurs who leaned against thu bar
urncd around and gnzcil in amazement
is Thomas Flynn rose upon hind uuar-
era nnd promptly hit back with his left
jaw , catching the champion slippery-
lolo climber full on the shoulder.
"What , do you want to box ? " cried
Cornelius.
'M-e-o-w I" the in unmistakable
- - - purred big cat
takable assent.
Cornelius Flynn squared ofl'.and so did
Thomas Flynn , and for the next three
minutes the billiard amateurs roared in
delight to watcli the two. The bi cat
parried Cornelius" tender blows deftly
with his left paw and returned them
promptly with his right , just as a dandy
sparrer would do. The sport kept up
until Cornelius pushed his elbow under
the cat's head and lifted him over. The
cat righted himself up , playfully bit Cor
nelius' elbow , and sprang oil1 the desk
with a graceful leap.
Half an hour later a fresh lot of custo
mers wore watching Thomas Flynn's
antics on a billiard table. Ho was pretending
tending to play billiards with Billy , "the
Dandy Bartender. " Billy made a carroin ,
and the cat immediately chased after the
cue ball , and rolled itwlth its pawairatnst
the other balls and .cflcctcd a ca'rrom
with comical haste. Round's of applause
greeted the performance.
"That cat"said Tirn Flynn afterward ,
"is worth his weight ju.gold. I'll but a
hundred that ho can box as well as a man
can , and he is the only eat I ever heard
of that can play billiards. He was reared
in a billiard atmosphere and seems to
know all about the game. "
Two hours after Tim Flynn passed

the sandwich , and sprung upon a high

his sharp claws. Cornelius Flynn

A MINE OF ASPflALTOH ,
St. Louis Controls the Only Property of tlie
Kind in this Country.
LESIEUR'S GOOD FORTUNE.
V Traveling Man Discovers Wtmt nn
Army of Henrclicrs Failed to
Find I'rouaulo LCfTcct of
( .the Discovery.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat : In the ex
citement of mining for the precious me
als but few people heard of the orgnnlza >
Ion of tlie North American Asphalt com-
tany almost n year ago , and as a result its
irojcctors nnd ollicors hnvo gone ahead
inobsorved and unknown until now its
riends feel that they are almost on the
ivo of making public a venture so sue-
ostittil that it will be as valuable proba-
> ly as almost any silver mine in the
country. Those interested In It are
imong the most prominent business men
n the city , and for the reason that they
lave not yet fully demonstrated what
hey can do they are very reticent in
[ peaking of their expectations. The
iroporty is known as a mine , and con
sists of thirty claims nt Thistle station ,
Jtnh , about two hours' ride from Salt
, ako City. By right of location , if
lot original discovery , it belongs to
St. Vrain Lesieur , a clti/.on of Mis-
iouri. and formerly a traveling salesman
. 'or ' a St. Louis house. His attention was
called to the strange rock by the Mor-
nous , and examining it he concluded
hat It had some value , nnd taking spool-
nens he brought thorn here , where they
, vere pronounced asphalt. In the mean-
Jmu he located several claims , and later
Mr. A. Krieckhaus located several others
[ idjoimng , together making thirty , and
.ncluding all the land bearing the rock.
The company was then organized and
the claims turned over to it , and money
was at once advanced anil preparations
made to develop the purchase. Those
lirst in it were Messrs. Adolphus Btiseii ,
Uliarles Nagei , the Taussigs , Charles O.
linxter , A. Krieckhaus , the Orthwoins ,
Jharles Khlerman and August Nedder-
liur , with St. Vrain Lesieur , Mr. Busoh
joing president and with Messrs. H. P.
J'aussig and Charles Nagcl constituting
the executive committee. Prol. Klein-
sehmidt , the geologist , was employed to
examine the property , nnd he and his
chemists , to wnom samples had been
submitted , pronouncing it asphalt , com
munications were nt once opened up
with men in that business.
THE IONO SKAUC1I KOK A DEPOSIT.
Among other samples were sent to the
Barber company , of Boston , the loading
asphaltum establishment in the country ,
and they pronounced it to bo a very val
uable discovery , and oll'ered , if given the
location of the property , to examine it
free of cost , and if it gave promise of
anything to take charge of its develop
ment and management , and take its en
tire product at the best market price.
1 hey had had men out nil over the coun
try with roving commissions , to discover
an asphalt deposit large enough to be
worked profitably. They had discovered
several small deposits , one particularly
in California , but they were all too small
and unpromising to warrant any expend
iture , and they had about abandoned the
idea of lindmg anything in this country
to relieve them of the necessity of looking
for supplies to Egypt , South America and
Cuba. As it is the'Kgytian asphalt finds a
ready market at * 120 a ton , the Cuban
at § 50 , and the Trinidad , South America ,
at $35 to | l ( ) , nnd they desired to be re-
leived of the necessity of paying such
prices. The only relief they had been
able to secure , however , was from thu
South American mine the product of
which , being carried ns ballast by re
turning ships , sold more reasonably ,
though from being a dull dark color ,
without nuy luster , it could not be used
for paint or varnish , and could only bo
utli/.ed for paving and other coarse pur
poses. Tlie St. Louis parties , however ,
were determined on managing the prop
erty alone , and , with that end in view ,
and to prevent any stock trading organ
ized"a very strong pool , including all of
the stockholders. Since then they have
been working steadily , have taken out
considerable of thu rock , developed the
property completely , and erected several
buildings , having money still in the
treasury for the purchase of the neces
sary machinery. The development
has established the fact that the
deposit lays in ledges , some o
which crop out on ( he surface. One ot
the lodges is twelve feet thick , and cov
ers almost the entire thirty claims. The
rook is almost blacic , having the appear
ance of asphaltum paving and is very
hard , but when broken and taken ous be
comes .soft and pasty. A piece of it laid
on a table in n warm room becomes so
strongly cemented to thu wood in a
couple of days that it is necessary to
chop away the wood to remove it. This ,
is haul , is the lir.st feature that attracted
attention , and the one probably that led
to the discovery.
OIISTAOLKS ESCOl'NTKUEIJ.
As superintendent of the property Mr.
St. Vrain Lesieur has give : ; the rock a
great deal of study , anil , aided by the1
geologist and chemists , has endeavored
to analyze it anil decide as to the method
of reduction. Like most of the most val
uable gold and silver mines , its product
threatened to bo so refractory that
its treatment would bo very d.Hi-
cult and probably unprofitable. The
Trinidad deposit is boiled nnd skimmed ,
it being necessary to add oil to the mass
in treating it , but it was early discovered
that this treatment would not answer for
the L'tah donosit. In the latter , nature
has provided too great a proportion of
naphtha and oil. and some of it must bo
removed. It was found that when the
rock was taken out it became soft , and
that when put through the crusher it be
came very pasty and clogged the ma
chinery. Mow designs lor the latter
were made , and tests in a small way have
given such satisfactory results that com
plete machinery is now being constructed
in this city to reduce ten to twenty tons
a day , and if that is htill satisfactory ,
then the capacity will be increased from
lifty to one hundred tons. In this the
rock is dissolved so as to eliminate the
tand , and it is then driven into another
basin , where the asphaltum and oil are
bcimrateil , leaving the former pure. It is
said that there is no doubt whatever as to
the substance or quality , one of the ledges
alone being twelve feel thick , nnd the
only thing to bo demonstrated id
whether they can save a sufficient per
centage to make it profitable. From the
quality and appearance of the rock thr
product will be much superior to that ol
the Trinidad mines nnd available for
many other purposes than paving. II
could , it is claimed , bo used for thu Fatter
purpose without any treatment what'
ever , the only question being that oi
transportation , as the weight in sand and
oil would be very great. A test of lt >
paving qualities is now being made nl
the Anheuser-Busch brewery , whore tin
pavement nt the main entrance , ovei
which all the heavy hauling is done , wili
bo relaid with this crude material , Mas
tie , n mixture of chalk and KHIKI , witi
this product , has also been prepared hen
nnd laid in thn brewery , nnd hns beer
perfectly satisfactory , becoming as han
us rock ,
FUTUHG OK THE COMPANY.
The company , as it is now organized
has a capital stock of $1,000.000 in fj :
share * , but if the reduction of the rock i
satisfactory it probablethat it wjl
bo increased , nnd that as an industry i
will branch out. making St. Louis the
loadqunrtcrs for asphaltum In this Coun
try , air. Buscli has exhibited n great
leal of interest in the future of the prop- ,
crty , ami Messrs. llassett 'and II. P. Taus-
slg have ouch made two trips to Thlstlo
Station , and are prepared toforwnrcd the
enterprise in nny way necessary. The
use of asphaltum has always been more
or less restricted In this country , because
of the fact that it had to bo Imported , and
asphalt dealers and men interested in
t i hare ngrecd that if it could be
'omul in millicicnl quantity iu
this country the use to which it could bo
jut would bo almost without number.
There nrosevernl new inventions in its
use , it is tnid , which hnvo never become
iroinlnent or the inventors of which hnvo
: iever been nblo to utilize , because of the
material and its cost. A number of these
ire based on the fact that asphalt is an
absolute non-conductor. If the Utah
llscovery enables the utilization of these
nveutions , it is said to uo probable that
t will result in the establishment of sev
eral manufacturing establishments here ,
ns the property is. under no circum
stances , for sale , nnil the people inter
ested in it propose to hold it in St. Louis ,
nnd to dispose of thu product here , or
Trotn here , ns all that will bo done at the
nine will be to relieve the rock of Iho
sand nnd oil the useless weight ? o as to
nako Us economical transportation pos-
Ible.
