MUGGLEY ARRESTED And Taken to Deadwood. Well-known in Rapid City On a requisition issued at Pierre, Dr. II. II. Muggley, a mining pro moter well known through the Black Hills, was brought to Deadwood from Kansas City by Sheriff Noonan, to answer to a charge of obtaining money on false pretenses, preferred by the Black llills Trust and Savings bank of this city. The amount in volved is approximately $1,000 which the bank charges was secured by means of a fraudelent note transac tion. Muggley for the past .i,.^ years has been a more or kjs., con spicuous figure in mining circles in the Hills. He first appeared at Rapid City where he erected and for a short time operated a smelter and made such a hit there that the people of Rapid City donated him a fine dwell ing. He later attempted to interest Hills mining men in some of liis various mining and treatment devices and in ventions and was considered some thing of an expert on concentrating ores. He was an exceedingly liberal spender and an extensive traveler, be ing at times interested in mining mentures in nearly every part of this country and Mexico. His wife who is in Chicago where he was arrested some weeks ago, is now trying to ar range a financial settlement of his diculties which include charges of fraudulent stock and other discrepan cies in Los Angeles, Kansas City and other western towns. Miks of Carpet A solid train of sixty cars, contain ing 15,000 rolls of carpet, leaves Chi cago via the Chicago & Northwestern Ry., 5 A. M. today for Omaha. The train is enroute from New York to San Francisco. The special train is over a half a mile in length. There are five hundred miles of car pet in the shipment this represents carpet enough to lay a width the en tire length of the line of the Chicago & Northwestern lly., from Chicago to Omaha. It is the product of the Alexander Smith & Sons, Carpet Works, Yon kers, N. Y. To make these carpets required the labor of 7,800 workers for eight days, an equivalent of one day's work for 62,400 operators, and if it were piled up in rolls one on top of another over an area of 400 square feet it would overtop the Singer Build ing tower, New York City. The weight of the carpet is 1,500,000 lbs. and it is valued at almost $1,000, 000. Such a shipment even a decade ago would have been beyond the imagina tion of the most optimistic weaver, and is the tangible evidence of the re markable growth of the carpet weav ing industry in America. It goes to supply the ever increasing demand on the Pacific Coast.

Editor Union: On account of the diversified topog raphy of the country and the fact that much of the rainfall occurs as more or less local showers the opinion is widely prevalent that the record of rainfall at this station, and those at the co-operative stations of the Weather Bureau at Keystone, IIjr mosa, Farmingdale, and other places, do not accurately express the amount of rain which falls at intermediate places. In the average for long periods the true value for any intermediate station may doubtless be quite closely ".I' iimted from these records but .i.... u.ie season, or even for several in succession, there may be a wide de parture from these values. It has therefore occurred to me to suggest' for the benefit of your readers in farming communities, a method by means of which they may, with prac tically no effort or expense, secure an almost absolutely accurate record of the rainfall on their own farms for the entire season, or for such shorter periods as they may desire. The method is this: Place a can or similar vessel, an earthen jar, for in stance, in a convenient position to catch the rain and where it will not be molested in any manner. The size ol" the vessel does not much matter only that it must be uniform throughout. The depth necessary will depend on the length of time it is to be exposed. A tive inch tomato can will give good results for a month or two for the season the vessel would need to be perhaps sixteen to eighteen inches deep. Into this vessel pour a few ounces of olive oil: enough to cover the bottom a quarter of an inch deep. Make sure the vessel is perfectly level and secured so that it will not be tipped over by the wind or otherwise disturbed and the in stallation is complete. Olive oil does not evaporate and the raindrops fall ing in it immediately sink to the bot tom and are thus sealed up by the oil. At the end of the period for which the measurement is desired measure the depth with an ordinary rule and allow for the depth of oil on the surface of the water. This method of measurement was discovered and tested by J. Cecil Alter of the Salt Lake City station of the Weather Bureau and his tests showed that the depth of water re tained under the olive oil at the end of the season differed by only three per cent from that recorded in the station gage. As this is no more than the usual allowance for instrumental and other errors in measurement the catch in a carefully exposed and pro tected gage of the kind suggested may be assumed to represent the true amount of rainfall for the locality where it is exposed.
