Genius unexerted is no more genius
than a bushel of acorns Is forest of
oaks. There may be epics in mems
brains, just as there are oaks in
acorns, but the tree and book must
come out before we can measure
them. We very naturally recall here
that class of grumblers and wishers
who spend their time in longing to
be higher than they are, while they
should be employed in advancing
themselves. How many men would
fain go to bed ounces and wake up
Solomons. You reap what you have
sown. Those who sow Ounce seed
vice seed, laziness seed, usually get a
crop. They that sow wind, reap 6
whirlwnd. A man of mere "capaci
ty undsveloped" is only an ORGANIZED
day dream, with skin on it. A fin
and genius that will not strike fire
are no better than wet junkwood

A New Jsasey inventor thinks he
has hit upon method of establishing
peace permanently upon the earth
by means of electricity. He does
not propose to remodel human nature,
bat expects to make warfare so dead
ly that it will be shere madness for
one nation to attack another. Ac-
eording to his plan, warefare would
result in the substantial extermina-
tlon Of oil who ventured to engage in
it. The inventor describes his idea
thus: "In word, my scheme is to
produce artificial lightning. Thus
far tho experiments have been con
fined within narrow limits, but with
tho use of small dynamo attached
TO my invention slight shock can
be produced, effective enough to kill
the flies in 20x20 room. ! claim,
with the use of powerful dynamos,
under my plan, a faith of lightning
can be directed against an army a
mile or more away and without injury
to the party operating the gun, scat
tering death and CONSERVATION among
the troops. With powerful dyna'
mos thousands of soldiers can be
killed at flash, and number o.
flashes are enough TO destroy an army
, 1t can be used at any time except OF
rainy or damp days. II the effect o.
| giving this discovery would be, as
hope, to put an end to wars, | shoulC
; feel repaid, but | dread to think o
0 electricity being used in war unde
G my plan. The consequences woul'
= be enormous. 1t means nothing les
1 than determination to the opposing

Representative Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, has introduced into the
House at Washington bill for the
establishment of postal savings banks.
Such institutions have long been in
existence in England and have there
proved highly successful. They have
been found to be great convenience
to the masses, and have afforded a
sense of security that encourages
thrift and promotes industry. There
is absolute confidence in the govern

MYSTERIES OF a PACK OF
CARDS.

Richard Lee was taken before mag
istratc, recently, for playing cards
during divine service. 1t appears
that sergeant commanded the sol
diers at the church, and when the
parson had read the prayers, he took
the toxt. Those who had Bible
took it out, but this soldier had Meth
or Bible nor common prayer book,
but pulling out pack Of cards, he
spread them out before him. lie
Just looked at one card and then at
another. The sergeant OF the com
pany saw him, and said, Orchard,

A PIONEER EDITOR.
Lucien L. Kellogg Tells of Watervill'
and the Big Bend.

Lucien h. Kellogg Tells of Waterville
and the Big Bend.
Lucien T.. kellogg, editor and
proprietor Of the Big Bend Empire,
published at Waterville, and post
master of that thriving town. is in
the city to remain several days. Mr..
Kellogg claims TO be the pioneer
newspaper man of Eastern Wash
ington north of Snake river. He
established the Palouse Gazette at
Colfax, In company with G. B. Hop
klns, when Spokane Falls was
among the towns yet to be. He
also established the Northwest
Tribune at Colfax, and atterward
moved II to Cheney, where he sold
II to George +. SchOrr. Subsequently
Spokane Falls began to take on airs
and had the assurance to pretend to
be u rival of Cheney. Adinirlng the
cheek of the village by the falls Mr..
Schorr removed the Tribune to this
place, where 1t is still published.
Ir. Kellogg reports Waterville to
be growing and fiourishing. 1t has
no rival with a radius of forty miles,
and Is in the midst of rich farm
ing region. 1t Is the county seat of
Douglas county and claims the
title of metropolis of the Big Bend.
"We have a good town." said Mr..
Kellogg to REVIEW reporter,
''and all we need Is railroad facilities.
The crops are wonderful this year,
but we are at disadvantage, hav-
ing no market because we have no
railroad. We have every assurance,
however, that the Central Wash
ipgton will reach us in the near
future. We are building new $40,

pleting $40, 900 schoolhouse. Frank

The HOME PRESS.


Colville Republican,; The republicans
of Stevens county have good reasons for
refusing the Turner plums and standing &
solid for Wilson in view of the fact that
through his efforts our county has beer
greatly benefited. Wilson's handiwork X
is seen in the passing OF the right -of-way
bill for the Spokane Falls Il Northern
railroad.
In setting aside the celebrated order
of MIR. Sparks which Withdrew from
entry a large number o. townships in
this county, thereby hindering and pre-
venting the growth and development oil
some of the fairest portions OF this coun-
ty, and caused great hardship on a
large number of settlers who had COM
piled with the law and were entitled to
their land. Thanks to Mr.. Wilson, this
pernicious order has been revoked, and
these lands opened to settlement and
many old settlers have titles to their
lands, and others soon will have.
Again, he has been instrumental in
securing q commission to treat with the
Colville Indians, with IA view to the
opening of at least u large portion OF this
reservation to settlement.
These measures are destined to be o
great benefit and the republicans will

BISHOP VINCENT COMING.
The Renowned Leader of the Chautau-

The Renowned Leader of the Chautau-
qua Society TO Visit Spokane.
Bishop Vincent, we'll known in
connection with the Chautauqua
society, of which he has long been
chancellor, aud with which he is
still connected, is expected to visit
this city some time during the latter
port of November. He will remain
about three weeks, and will conduct
what is known as the "Itinerants'
Cuba normal school for young
ministers of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, while in this city.
Another object in making the
trip, is that the bishop also desires
to become better acquainted with
this section of the country, aud with
the people. He will probably lee
ture often during his stay in this
city. He is favorite speaker In

Boy" and "That Boys Sister" be-

THE NEW CROP.
Deliveries of New Wheat'Are Now Be.
ing Made.

ing Made.
Inquiry at the office of the
Northern Pacific Elevator Company
revealed the fact that grain Is just
beginning to move. Many of the
farmers have just finished threshing
and heavy deliveries will be
made at once.
Tie wheat yield throughout the
Palouse country will average thirty
five bushels to the acre. OF course,
in some sections larger yield is re-
corded than this shows, and taken
altogether IL il the best crop of
wheat, oats and barley that that
country has ever produced.
The crop Is so large that 1t will
take the en- tire year for the railroads
to handle it, and there are about
forty warehouses built at different
points along the road through the
Palouse country for the storage OF
the grain until II can be moved. All
that Is exported is sent to Tacoma,
and shipped there on vessels for for
eign ports.
AT every station along the road
are to be found four or five buyers,
and competition is very brisk. This
crop will bring into the country two
or three times as much money as
was ever received from this source
before, and although the prices are
not so high as they now are in Chi
cago, yet they are good, and enough
will be paid for the present crop to
entirely free the country from debt.
only about one-fourth of the till
able land is actually cultivated, but
the acreage Is increasing every year,
and there is no doubt but when il is
entirely under cultivation it will be
one of the best wheat growing sec
tions on the globe.
