CITY FAIRGROUNDS.

Give the Little Ones More OF Them and
Make Their Lives Happy.
These children are undoubtedly happy in
their play, but cannot watch them without
sadness and regret that the fuller pleas
ures Of a country life will never be theirs at
the time they are best fitted to enjoy them.
The earnest pleading for leaf or blossom
from the hower-laden tourist as, returning
from his outing, he passes up this street,
the eager band OF merry children in
pursuit of wandering butterhy-fairy-lik
visitor In strange land-tell of formless
longing for the unknown freedom of the
woods and fields. What can we do to add
20 the Joys Of youth which is all too brief?
As you enter the High School these boys
and girls enter on the serious duties of life.
Then follows the struggle for existence, and
q severe one 1t usually is.
We cannot give all these children homes
In the country; we cannot give them all
even an outing there; but we can give them
Fairgrounds IN the city-a very little plat
here and there will do. We have reserved
great parks and squares which we permit
them to look at and sometimes to venture
on. But as Fairgrounds these are practi-
cally useless; they are accessible to COM
paratiVely few. A vacant building lot in
the proper district Is far more to the pur-
pose. H1ppy is the boy who lives near one.

to bring the torpedo to the surface, so that it
may not be lost during experiments, CT on
the other hand to sink it in actual warfare
If it misses its target or fails to explode.
Then come successfully a compartment con-
tanning the beVel gear, which causes the
propeiiers to revOlye in opposite directions,
and finally the Tufder support and rudders.
The mechanism of the so-called secret
chamber consists of a combination of
springs, hydrostatic balance and pendu-
lum, connected by numerous cranks and
lols with the horizontal rudders. The
force Of the springs and tie pressure Of the
water upon the hydrostatic piston are to
cOunterbalance each other. while the
swinging Of the pendulum, which is vertical
when they do thus counter balance, causes
tho rudder to be turned upward or down
ward until the torpedo comes back to an
even keel. The torpedo is started and dis
charged from the tube by small charge Of
powder. One size of this torpedo weighs
about $50 pounds and is 10 feet in length.

The tremendous force Of the torpedo and
its destructiveness as an engine Of war was
exemplifed in the recent attack upon and
sinking of the fine steel-aTmOred cruiser
BlancO Encalads, which occurred on the
morning of April 23d, in Caldera Bay, on
the coast Of Chile. The attack was made by
two Government tOrpedo-boats, and their
terrible missiles arc thus described in the

The most remarkable story of theft ever
heard of in ITonton, Mich, has been brought
to light by the arrest OF Mary BOulgie. For
some time the merchants have missed goods
from their stores. but could not tell how tn e
articles of value went. They would not
know now, but for the unparalleled bold

Fehr's store aud asked 10 have piece of
goods changed. The CLERK recognized it as
piece that had been stolen and this led to
her arrest A search Of her house revealed
over $1,000 worth of stolen goods, and she
became terrified and confessed everything.
She said she had been stealing for five years
and had stolen over $1,000 worth Of goods
from Cincinnati when she was there last
summer, and twice as much from Chicago
houses. She said when asked what she did
with her plumber that she was running

The WHISKEY DEALERS
@AY TAKE A HAND IN MUNICIPAL POL
iTIcS.

THEY WANT THE DRUGGISTS To PAY AS
MUCH LICENSE AS THEY Do.-MAY
RUN AN ALDERMANIc TICKET.
The whiskey dealers may take hand
in city politics and make things decided
~ interesting before the polls close on the
second Wednesdayin December
They now pay just double the amount
PAID by druggists for the privilege OF sell
ing whiskey, which they think is unjust.
They claim that every man who sells
~hiskey, no matter in what quantity,
pay the same license, and want the drug
gists' license made the same as theirs, or
prohibit them from selling it only when
filling prescriptions.
The saloon men are quietly agitating
this matter, and there is strong talk
among them of supporting no man for
alderman who will not agree to tax the
druggists as much as they are taxed. In
fact, they are thinking of running an al
dermanic ticket in sympathy with their
views on this question.
They also want council elected pledg-
ed not TO increase the whiskey license.
The News gets this information
straight, and it is by no means uncertain
that they will play an important part in
the approaching city election.

A Few Thoughts 10 the Young Men of
Dawson.

Now that Dawson can point with pride
to progress that is lifting her to a lofty
height, thu envy of her neighbors.
wouldn't it be well for the young men of
the city to organize a Young Mems
Christian Association.
Cities of smaller growth reap rich re-
suits from having such an institution in
their midst, and besides, such aninstitu-
ton gives moral, religious and intel
eetual character to people. The stran-
ger within our gates would welcome
such a place as resort from the tur-
MOL of the outside world Within that
association nucleous could be formed
for the establishment of a library, a
thing now much needed in our city. We
throw these few thoughts out to arrest
the attention Of our young men to a want
needed in our city.
