To Obviate JSo1 .sy Poles.

If the invention of DIR. Bates, of this
city, stands the test of experiment the
entire electric railway system of over
head wires and poles will soon be super
seeded by a simple conduit bolted to the
center of the track. Some such inven-
ton is greatly needed. The overhead
maze of wires is constant source of de-
lay and danger. The place for all cleo
trio wires, whether for railways, tele-
graphs or telephones, is underground,
or properly insulated and protected in
conduits, as proposed by DR.. Bates.
The main difficulty to be apprehended
with the new invention is with snow an l
ice in winter The slot which admits
the trolley arm from the car into the
conduit is protected from rain and dust
by steel strip which acts with spring.
If this strip and spring can protect the
slot alike from rain and dust in summer,
and from snow and ice in winter, the in
vention may prove to be one of the most
important in years. President Lowry
deems the invention to possess consider
able merit, and will undoubtedly give it
thorough trial.-Minneapolis Tribune.

The Secretary of the Navy says that
a torpedo boat shall be built at the
Iowa Iron Works, at Dubuque, the price
therefor being Sill 800. Queer, isn'tit,
that an ironmaster in an interior state,
on fresh water, could wrest such a
prize from his seaboard competitors
Wonder how it came about, in "calam-
ity" times, too? Perhaps it was pro-
tective tariff that gave that Dubuque
ironmaster his start and made him SO
brash in bidding for torpedo boats.
Wonder if Boies will allute to this in
his next speech on ''local issues?"

Exit Balmaceda.

Telegraphic advices from Valparaiso
are to the effect that on Saturday morn
ing last, dispairing of making his escape
from Chila, Ex-President Balmaceda
blew his brains out at the Argentine
legation in Santiago, where he had
been in hiding since Sept. 2.
The death of Balmaceda by his own
hand and the rejoicing of the people of
Santiago thereat are strange things to
read of as happening on the Continent
of America in the year 1891. A few days
ago Aalmaceda was President of re-
public. He had been elected fairly, or
at any rate with the aid of as little
fraud as generally goes with an election
in South America. His administration
was not popular, and provoked one of
the revolutions SO common in the Latin
republics. We do not care to discuss the
motives of the revolutionists or the con-
duct of the war by them or by Balma-
ceda. There were atrocities of cruelty
on both sides, and on behalf of the dead
man a plea of guilty, with prayer for
merciful Judgment by linen of foreign
countries and of the next age" may as
well be entered. Severity has been the
rule toward insurgents in all the Latin
countries.
There is something radically differ
ent between Latin and Saxon civiliza-
ton. No leader of the Confederacy
dreamed of suicide when Lee surrender
ed to Grant. jeff Davis himself never
expected death without fair trial in
the event of his capture And if he, who
was by far the most culpable, though.
fortunately, far from the most able, of
the conspirators against the life of the
Republic, had slain himself, instead of
Disgusting himself, there would have
been no savage outbreak of JOY in the
North, but merely regret that one
capable of better things had gone from
bad to the uttermost OF worst.

His Hair Quickly Bleached in "a Cavern


William Gormly is farmer in Hick-
DRY township. He has been making a
tunnel in the side of the hill to spring
for the purpose of carrying water to a
field below. John Grimes was employed
to dig the tunnel.
When he had proceeded about thirty
feet into the hill. and was about twenty
feet from the surface, he found himself
in cavelike hollow, the roof of which
was rock, in which there was crack
from which he could see light. When
he reached the hollow, or cave, the hill
apparently sank in where he had been
digging, and he found himself prisoner
twenty feet under ground. He called
for help, and later Mr.. Gormly procured
assistance, and, after working all night,
released him, after being in the hole
eighteen hours.
Mr.. Grimes hair was jet black when
he entered the tunnel, but it turned
snow white during the time he was i'm
prisoned.-Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

Nearly every pattern of IA Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and

looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the a0ayp threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-
inc it isn't worth half as much:
The fact that "a Horse Blankets

that they are THE STANDARD.
