The ST. Joseph News is a very dis
criminating paper and its sources of in
formation are trustworthy to a degree
that renders Its statement of fact au-
thoritative. In referring briefly TO this
city the News SAYS: Wichita, Kan. is
SAID to be rapidly recovering from her
backslide Property is advancing and
there are purchasers for desirable inside
lots. Wichita has the natural advan-
tageS which so to make city, and her
people are more energetic than those of
any other western town"

The proposition TO unite St. Paul and
Minneapolis is viewed with great com
placence by all excepting the inhabitants
Of those cities. They vie with each
other in loyalty and fervently denounc-
ing such scheme. One great difficulty
lies IN the name to be selected for the
amalgamated towns When g woman
marries she takes her husbands name
and there's the end of it, but it is pre-.
posterous to suppose thar either OF this
couple would surrender its name TO the
other. They viii have to hit upon some
euphonloGs combination. The Chicago
News suggests that the combine adopt
SAINT Minnie or Paulapolis or go without
name altogether.

APPLIED ELECTRICITY

1t was announced, some time since,
that the street car company of Pullman,
ILL.,, was experimenting with a storage
system for the propulsion of their electric
cars, and that so far as tested the system
worked satisfactorily. Nothing has
been said since the first announce
ment and it is not known whether the
storage system is still in use there or not.
The statement is given out from Sioux
City, Ia, that local company is expert
menting with the storage battery for
street car use, and if it meets the claims
made for it a company with S1,000,000
capital is to be located there to supply
nine western states. 1t is stated that it
is to be introduced in four cities in these
states if it meets the expectations in prac-
teal operation. One charging is regard
ed as sufficient for twenty-five miles of
transit, and but q couple of minutes are
required for putting in fresh battery.
In the storage system it is alleged that 80
per cent of the electricity is utilized,
while the overhead method saves only
from % to 80 perc cent. The public, how
ever, is chiefly concerned as to the eff
cheney and slightliness Of the system.
The net work of wires in use involves
danger and is an obstruction that it is to
be hoped will give way to something bet
ter in good time.
The point involved in substituting the
storage for the wire system seems to be
the question of expense, the latter, it is
claimed, having so far proven to be the
cheapest after the apparatus and wires
are up and in working order.

An absurd report comes from Guate-
mala that plan has been discovered to
annex that republic to the United
States. Prominent officials and coffee
planters are said TO he in it." but how
they propose TO have Guatemala pass
under control of the United States is not
even limited. OF course there's 10 posi-
bility of bringing about such change.
And there is no desire IN this country ia
acquire Guatemala or other territory in
that neighborhood. 1t is hot enough
here now without annexing any more

Old Virgins, the back-number Cana
dian weather-prophet, fred no doubt by
the records that are being made by Pro-
fessors Foster and Hicks in forecasting
the weather, has bobbed up with new
theory. He says that telephone wires
and wire fences are the cause of drought.
They get in the way of rain clouds and
break them all up. 1t would seem to
the common mind that any rain cloud
that got SO low down as a barb-wire
fence ought to be able to sink few feet
lower and go under. May be Prof.
Virgins has not reflected that wire
fences over half mile high are very
unusual.

Lady Burton did well to burn the
manuscripts written by her husband and
left with her for publication in book
form for support after his death. From
what she says of the production, if il
had been published it would have created
a greater furore than Tolstoi's Kreutza
Sonata, being of that character and
style, only more so. Had Lady Burton
given out the character Of the work and
simply announced that for the good OF
society it would not be published, some
means would have been employed to
secure the manuscripts and have them
published for the profit that would be
sure to result therefrom. All right
thinking people will wish that the lady
may never suffer from want in conse-
quence of her self sacrifice in this matter.

HOW AN INDIAN STANDS COLD.
He Quietly Does the Best He Can and
Don't Complain.
Fronl the Kansas Citv Star,

From the Kansas City Star.
The Indian in winter is in most instances
a sorry rueful bird. There is this remark
matter how deep his physical woe; let his
blankets be ever so scant and thin and the
blizzard ever SO knife-like and piercing, he
stands it like a stole.
A white man, under similar conditions
swears and curses and assails his luck and
assures the world Of his resolve to have a
vast and comforting change; an Indian I'M
goes the pinch without murmur and will
freeze even, with no more row about it than
river.
They are prone to do the best they can
under the limitations of circumstances and
after that they bow motionless to fate.

nights whereof are cold enough even for an
lcsman.
The mornings of each day were by no
means sultry, and until IL O'Clock the Their
mometer was generally content to put in
the time somewhere in the vicinity of the
200 mark.
One morning early. while the frosty air
bit like bulldog, / saw an old Navajo with
about enough on him, count blanket and
all. TO flag ahundcar, very busy in the col-
lection Of heap of splinters, twigs and
chips ss1.s.
Where he had put in the night could not
even be guessed at but he was getting ready
for a fire now. He continued his efforts
| until he had amassed a collection about the
size and contour Of bushel basket.
Then some two feet away he started a
little fire that pint of water would nave
extinguished. This becoming a cracking
success, he wrapped his threadbare blanket
about the upper part of his body and over
his head and lay down on his face with q
leg on either side of mis- fire, said legs being
disposed in sort Of parenthesis so as to
bring them fairly within reach of the genial
influence.
The old buck would "snooze" laid out in
this fashion for about twenty minutes, and
then, the fire dying low, would raise him
enough to reach his little store Of COM
bustibles with one hand and transfer a
small supply to the blaze. Then his slum-
brous head would drop, the fire would re-
cover and affairs go smoothly for another
twenty minutes, when the play would be
repeated.

successfully, arising at IL m. and begin 8
