A man in jackson county, Ore, has
been blowing this fall with a steam en-
CINE, and has found that it works quite
successfully. He pulls eight plows with
his engine, and turns over the soil at the
rate of sixteen acres per day. The cost
of running the outfit is not over five dol
lars per day. 1t is not stated that as
many laborers as there were plows oper-
rated We're thrown out of employment;
neither is it intimated that but for the
steam apparatus the operator of the farm
would have called for that many more
laborers, but one or both of these propo-
sitions are logical differences. The writer
has sort of suspicion that there
might be found, upon close investigation,
something Of a collateral cause for the
industrial distress now prevalent eXtant.

Its Glory Has Departed.

From The AtCnlsOn FutTI0l-
The ancient appellation of Hog town
no longer applies to Atchison, IL has no
senator, no congressman. no governor,
no state or federal appointee. 1t hasn't
anything, not even the good will Of the
governor of Kansas. Politically speak
ing it has been cast down from its high
pedestal and i in the slough Of despond.
We feel awfully bad. No more will the
politician make his pilgrimage to Atchi-
son: no more will the hotels and the
Joints be happy over his coming, and
sorry over his going. All me! Atchison
has fallen upon evil times, but don't call
it Hogtown, anymore. Please don't.

state of the blood by introducing within the
system some degenerating or deconposing prin-
ciple or animal poison from without, by inter
fering with the due elimination OF useless and
hurtful matter, and by developing within the
system the poison itself. And yet another author
tells rs that the contagious nature OF glanders
was for long time disputed point: IL is, how
ever, now determined, he says, beyond question,
and that the only difference being its capability
of originating spontaneously. Before conclud-
ing let US consider the term. Says Mr.. webster
Spontaneous, a IL. spontaneous. from sponte,
OF free WILL l. Proceeding from natural
feeling, temperament or disposition, or from
q native internal proneness, readiness or ten
dency, without compulsion or constraint; al
spontaneous gift or proposition.
''tSpontaneous is not perfectly synonymous
with voluntary. The latter implies an act OF
the will, which may proceed from reason or
argument, without any natural feeling or affec-
ton. Voluntary is applicable TO rational beings;
spontaneous is applicable TO animals destitute oil
reason-) 2 Acting by its own impulse, energy
or natural law, without external force; a. spon-
taneous motion, spontaneous growth, spon-
taneous combustion. 8. Produced without
being planted or without human labor; az q
spontaneous growth OF wood; spontaneous
combustion, a taking fire of itself.
Now, then, If these laws are true in either
case, as stated, fail to find ont why the causes
for the effects produced are not well established
hence the germ is laid and matured in some
imperceptible manner before we get the effects,
and we fail to look the matter up and for con-
vcnience we use the term spontaneous, and ap-
ply II as having no predisposition.

FIRE IN THE RIPLEY HOUSE.
Herbert Ravens Drug Store Smoked
and Sleeping Peopie Alarmed.

Fire was discovered at 2:55 o'clock this morn
ing in the Ripley house, big six-story block at
the northwes. corner OF Pike and Front streets
The lower floor Is occupied by stores,
while dodgers fill the stories above. The
drug store of Herbert Haven occupies the cor
ner. and in the basement to the rear entered from
Pike street, which slopes steeply to the
bay, is little restaurant. 1t was
above the restaurant and in the rear of the drug
store that the flames had their origin. Smoke
poured out of the windows, filled the drug
store and permeated the halls of the
apartments above, terrorizing the dodgers,
many OF whom fled into the
street scantily clad. An entrance was effected
with ladders by the fremen at a window close
to the seat OF the FIRE, which soon
burst madly forth. chemical en-
CINE quenehed the flames in few
minutes. A plate-glass window of the drug
store was broken, as well as the door, and fire.
men dragged hose into the rear of the store,
but little water was thrown.
The damage to Herbert Havens drug stock by
FIRE, smoke and water will amount to about $500,
while the building, owned by Judge Palmer,
has suffered damage of $3.50 A. J.
Whitney & Co., insurance agents, hold a policy
on the building and Haven has a $4,000 policy
on his stock and fixtures with the Home Insur-
ance Company.
The fire is believed to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion of chemicals.
