We are informed that a citizen of this
city is about to lend himself to outsiders
for the purpose of bringing a suit to de-
lay the building of the water works. The
best advice we can give is this: DON'T
Bulletin.
1t is privilege, right and duty for a
newspaper to criticise or advise in regard
to any matter that may effect the well
being of the city. But the public have
right to expect intelligent criticism or
advice. 1t is not within the power of
any individual to delay the building OF
the water work. That is something that
can only be done by the court; and
something any fairly honest court would
not think of doing, unless sufficient
reasons We're adduced to show wrong
had beer committed. 1t is not so long
ago but that the public will remember
that the Bailetin was very emphatic in
announcing that a wrong had been COM
united when the contract for construct
ing the water works was awarded by the
city council TO Cummings & Cook. Il
THAI was a wrong, and the HERALD
alwas has believed, and still believes, it
was then it will remain a wrong until
righted. The Bulletin has advanced nc
reason for a change OF heart or head and
to advise submission is to advise submits
sion to what it believe wrong, one that
the HERALD has always hoped, and still
hopes, to see rightea, for the good name
of the city.

THE EXTENT OF WILL POWER.

An inventory Oh the effects OF Captain
Renton, the blind lumber king, shows
that the personal property of the estate
consists Of 249 shares Of the capital stock
of the Port Blakeley Mill Company, a
corporation organized and existing under
the laws OF the state of California, and
doing business in the state Of Washing

business at Port Blakeley.

All OF the foregoing personal property
being of value of 81 100000.
AS soon as Capt. Renton's will was

there would be contest. No matter

What has become of the $25, 900 school
house? The bids for the bonds have
been in for months; the directors have
been "going to do something" ever since.
But apparently the school house is nc
nearer beginning than when the ques-
ton was voted upon. The architects,
who submitted plans months ago, cannot
tell whether or not any plans have been
accepted. No better time could be chosen
to build school house, and the people
have right to demand an explanation Of
why it has not been done.

Sleight-of-hand is apt to be an hered-
itary talent, and the cunning of tn.
Hindoo conjurers is a gift bequeathed
with the secret of many tricks from
generation to generation. They still
practice gainful profession, which is
very popular among all classes of q
superstiticus race, who are never
prompted by scientific curiosity to find
out how thing are done. Some of the
surprising deeds of the jugglers have
often, indeed. been initiated b. sleight-
of-hand performers in the cities of the
Occident, among them that of causing
a plant or any other unexpected object
to appear under q basket or other
cover, when it had not been there be-
fore the space was covered Many of
these tricks are doubtless produced by
dexterous manipulations, while others
cannot be explained in the same man
ner. 1t seems that hypnotism plays an
important part in these performances;
the fakirs who do these feats are gen.
orally gifted with extraordinary mag
netic powers, and by exerting their
hypnotic influence over the audience
they make the spectators believe that
they see things which in reality do not
exist, or witness proceedings that never
have taken place-Frsnk Lesiie's

4 Dearborn Avenue Man Learns How to
Call Newsboy.
About eight o'clock one morning
man in slippers and with his coat collar
turned up to conceal the fact that he had
on only an undershirt, came down the
steps of Dearborn avenue residence
and glanced about for newsboy.
About half block away was a small
dealer in news, but he was wholly alb
sorbed in taking in the good points of a
vicious looking bulldog which a COM
panion was holding by a string.
Paper" called the man in a voice
that didn't get halfway.
What a fine dog that was, anyhow.
"Pa-a-a per!'-just little louder. and
the man trembled from the attention he
was attracting across the way. Still
the newsboy was absorbed in the dog.
The man moved about twenty feet
nearer and called again. There was no
response, but at that minute a small.
ragged boy who had not yet come up
got onto the situation Curving his I'M
der lip in against his teeth he gave a
shrill whistle.
1t acted like magic. The newsboy
caught it running. the bulldog, even,
pricked up his ears, and the big man
looked just little ashamed as he dis

There is no filter made or can be
made which will remove all the germs
from water for any length of time
without itself becoming a source of
contamination, rather than a means of
safety. No filter is germ proof, for the
reason that the germs can usually go
through any substance which water
can penetrate. Filters which are made
of fine sand and pulverized charcoal
become in short time hot beds for
germs culture. Beginning at the top.
they will gradually work all through it
so that if water were pure at the start,
it would be wholly unfit for use after
having passed through the filter. How
ever, the better way to deal with water
which is so bad as to need liberation is
to boil it thoroughly. Distilled water
is always safe also-Dr. j. II. Kellogg.

American prints are from a half cent
to cent a yard lower since the tariff
went into effect. Bleached shirtings
and suitings are from quarter of a
cent to a cent and half lower, while
the duty is increased half q cent yard.
American ginghams and wash fabrics
have decreased in cost from half cent
to a cent a yard. Tin may have in
creased in price. but sugar has fallen 20
much that canned goods will be lower
than ever before. Surely, sugar is

imports of lead manufacture of more

a third. IN millinery OF more than a
