Ne Tells or Tkslr Relations When They
Were Colleagues In the Senate.
ArcH1soN. Kan. Dec. 2L-Ex-Senator John
J. ingalls, gave the following for publication
to-day:
III had been in the Senate for four years
when Mr.. Plumb became my colleague as the
successor OF Gov. Harvey In 1877. He
was then In his 4lst year. I had a
general acquaintance with him previ-
ously from, territorial days. but We had
never been intimate. and at the time OF
his election our political associates were not
in same camp. At first our relations In the
Senate were somewhat strained and dis
tant, and In the contest OF 1870
his sympathizers were not my way
think. but in the subsequent assault on my
title to the seat he acted with my supporters.
and thence forward our friendship became os-
tablished. and we got on very well together.
+ I've were not In each others way at all Our
functions and ambitions were wholly separate
: and distinct, but not In conflict. We supplied
each others defects In o degree. so that one
compensated the other. I advocated openly
and actively his election In 1889. and
1880 and he was cordially In favor Of my re-
turn In 1885. and also In the phenomenal cam
paign OF 1901. Though some tried to make
me think otherwise. ..,..

such matters he always had mine. In
State politics We came nearer together
after 1870. and while each OF US
had his own frieuds and His own epemies. our
interests ran In the same lines and were
largely mutual. There was no collision nor

Personal Note by Editor,

We have travelled few miles in our life
time, and know what it is to be uncom-
fortably housed in a poorly upholstered
car and rudely tossed up and down on old
iron rails that are laid on dirt road bed
We have been there; but it was always on
other roads than the Santa Fe. Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is hard
TO beat. The rails are of heavy steel, the
track smooth and rock ballasted; and the
through "CannonbalI" train that flies at
a fifty-miles per-hour speed over this eie-
CANT roadway is as pretty bit of work
manship as Messrs. Pullman ever turned
out. Each vestibule sleeper is a model of
luxury, and as easy as a cradle. Chair
carefully adapted to the travellers every
want. The Santa Fe is rightly named
''the most comfortably line" 90

Buttons from Potatoes.

Great quantities of buttons are now
made from potatoes. 1t is not generally
known that if the substance of the com
mon Irish potato be treated with certain
acids it becomes almost as hard as stone
and can be used for many purposes fol
which horn, ivory and bone are employed
This quality of the potato adapts it to but
ton making, and very good grade of but
ton is now made from the well known
tuber The potato button cannot be dis
tinguished from others save by careful
examination, and even then only by an ex-
pert, since they are colored to suit the
goods on which they are to be used, and
are every whit as good looking as button
of bone or ivory. Their cheapness is g
great recommendation, and will no doubt
lead to a much larger employment in the
future.-Interview in st. Louis Globe Dem.

Keeping Track of Wires.

The manner in which the electric light
companies keep track of the wires they
string over the city is curious and very
simple. a board about three feet long and
two feet wide is secured, and heavy piece
of cardboard is tackled on it. Then a dia
gram of the city drawn, showing all the
streets. Now comes the laying out of the
wires. Pins are then stuck into the card
board on each street on which wires arr
strung, and around each pin Irvine is
placed. The Irvine starts from the central
electric station, and following it up any
wire can be traced. When there are more
than one line of wires on street the mum
Der is represented by strings on the chart
