Company in Storage Battery Ex-
periments.

Interest Of the Street Railway
Company in Storage Battery Ex-
periments.
The Minneapolis Street Railway
company is deeply interested in some
experiments in the line of the applica-
ton of electricity as motive force that
will take place at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
this week. The experimentation will
be with the storage battery.
All persons who have given electricity
and the application of it any thought,
know that its development is in its in
fancy. investigators and inventors are
just climbing over the boundary fence
of a Dakota farm, as it were, on cleo
tricaI matters. The storage battery is
best known of all. 1t is a possibility.
That all electricians admit. 1t has not
yet reached the stage of certainty. 1t
is admitted that the storage battery will
yet be used on street ears in lieu of
trolley wires and obstructing polef.
Many think the time has not yet come.
A form of storage battery has been
manufactured that is said to overcome
all the objections heretofore in exist
ence. 1t is constructed on the model of
the honey comb. The arrangement of
form secures the greatest economy
of space, and is light and easily
handled. 1t is claimed for it that
it Will do anything that the cur
rent from the dynamo will do and do
it better. The storage battery can be
used on street cars. 1t can be used in
the workshops. IT can be charged, de-
livered at the house and used 10 run the
family sewing machine, cook the din
ner. do the washing, light the kitchen
stove fire and illuminate the parlOr. 1t
is claimed for it that it is cheaper than
kerosene.
The storage battery will be tried this
week on a street car in Sioux Falls.
The Minneapolis Street Railway COM
pany will have a representative at the
experimentation. OF course, if the new
battery proves a success, it will be only
a question of time until the overhead
wires are consigned to oblivion, and
perdition to be succeeded by the noise
lessly working storage battery. Min
neapolitans will be, therefore, deeply
interested in the results of the expert
mentS.

MY OPAL sEA-PUGET SOUND

Washed with silver Zoned with goldi
Swelling with her heart emotions,
Always pure, but never cold,
Flushing with the sunrise splendor,
Glowing with the sunsets red;
Soft, wet lips that call and WOO me-
Lol l follow, passion-led.
Bare, cool arms that clasp and hold me-
Low lean with swelling chest
Breathe her breath and know her kisses,
Sleep and dream upon her breast;
Feel her pulses, trembling, thrilling,
Feel her heart throb passionately-

PRICE OF COTTON.

1t is now given up that the cotton
crop is short in many parts of the
South. The reporters have managed
to keep Up the impression that a very
large crop vas being picked, but it is
untrue.
1t is also certain that there is no
reason why cotton should be as low as
it is. There is an almost unlimited de-
mand for cotton goods. Cotton is be-
ing used for purposes now that were
never thought of III the past. At the
prices that manufactured goods can be
bought the price Of raw cotton ought
to be not less than 10 or ~ cents. There
is no denyingthis Who is responsible?
This is not easy to decide, but some
DO ~ is. Supply and demand is not
making prices. Perhaps local
buyers are no. responsible, for it is to
their interest for cotton to bring good
prices, but somebody is-there is an
understanding, combination, trust or
something on hand The farmer who
raised cotton Or tobacco this year and
still opposes the Sub-Treasury ought
to have a guardian appointed at once.

dapple grey, faxen name and tail, per-
fectly kind and gentle, entirely sound
and without fault. He is duly regis

America as No. 1O418. He is the
only registered Percneron stallion ever
raised in the South. He has, therefore,
the advantage of being thoroughly &C

A GREAT

An article is going the rounds Of the
scare % press under startling head
lines showing that the Alliance lectur-
ers cost the organization not less than
$50, 900, 600 annually. Any sensible
man would conclude at once that this
is untrue. The Economist, speaking
Of the story, says:
Had the writer Of this highly intel
lectual effort any knowledge of Alliance
methods, the above example of folly
would doubtless have been omitted.
Each of the Sub-Alliances have among
their regular officers a lecturer, whose
duty it is to entertain each meeting
with a short address or read from some
paper an article upon some principle
or object of the Order. There is no
salary attached to this office. Each
County Alliance, District Alliance and
State Alliance also has a lecturer, as
we'll as the National body. National
and State lecturers receive a small
salary, but the others, which constitute
nearly the entire number, are not
salaried. Brother Keitt's estimate is
not far out Of the way, and disclose a
power in the Order that will in the end
break down all opposition. Then, too,
there are thousands of men who are
lectUring upon Alliance principles out
side these regular officers who neither
expect nor receive any compensation
whatever"
The politicians of this country cost
the people fifty times as much as the
Alliance does, and instead of throwing
light on the subject, they have been
covering up everything with the mantle
of partisanship. The Alliance lecturers
are pulling off the mask of corruption
and exposing trickery. So really the
organization is the most valuable and
at the same time the cheapest educa-
tional school ever started. On with
the good work. Let justice be uncon-
fined.
Mr.. F. J. Leatherman, business
agent for Mt. Vernon Alliance, Lincoln
county, writes that he has just bought
a lot Of coffee from Thornton Barnes &
Co., Philadelphia, getting six pounds
to the dollar. He urges all Alliances
to buy through the business agency or
at wholesale from other dealers,

Aliens Imperial NIinstrels.

Aliens Imperial MinStrels opened q
two nights engagement at the Opera
House last night. This company is
composed of gentlemen who all occupy
high rank in their respective special
ties. The songs and Jokes in the first
part were new, quite Il novelty in min
strel performances. Messrs. Jefferson
and Leonard as the two end men, were
as comical pair as one would wish to
see, and the manner in which they
cracked jokes and sang songs was very
gratifying to the large audience. Tom
Prosho, the violin player, is truelyss Il
master of that instrument. His wonder
full playing held the audience spell
bound and he was repeatedly encored.
Many good violin players have appeared
in Roanoke, tut none of them can equal
Prosho.

king of banjo players and he richly de-
serves the title. He did about every
thing with that instrument last night
except make it talk. Ainsley and
Downie stand at the head of minstrel

comedian and his eccentricities, together
with his funny makeup. proved a great
hit with the audience. Mr.. Downie's
dancing last night made quite hit.
Messrs. j. Leonard and Shelter are a
musical team of more than ordinary
ability and they fully understand the
art of making fun and music.
The performance concluded with the
laughable farce entitled ''.Joining the

take-of on the Third Party movement
and scored Il success.
The company will appear tonight in
an entire change OF the programme and
should be greeted by full house.

THREE CURIOUS MICE.

One Lives on Honey, One Builds Nest
and One Is Very Tame.
Mice of different kinds are found in
nearly every part of the world and
some of the species are exceedingly in
teresting. One called tar,ipes rostratus
is native of Australia 1t is about
the size of the common mouse It's
muzzle is long and pointed, with small
mouth. The tail is longer than the
head and body combined and is pre-
hensile, and, as it makes its home in
trees and bushes, it uses the tail in
swinging from branch to branch It's
food is honey, which it extracts from
flowers with its long tongue. as the
humming bird does
The harvest mouse of England is a
most interesting little creature. One
of the smallest of qnadrupeds, for it
measures, head and body combined,
only two and one-half inches long. with
tail almost as long. This mouse is
found in the hay and wheat fields, and
it is there that it makes its curious
cut in shreds by the little animal and
woven together to form a complete
ball with an opening so small that It
cannot easily be found, and which
closes Immediately upon the exit or
entrance of its occupant. It is in this
nest that the mouse raises her family
of little ones until they in their turn
are large enough to go forth into the
world to make their own way in life.
The woodmouse, or long-taired
mouse, is still another species. 1t is a
gentle, timid little creature, but easily
tanned, somewhat larger than the COM
mon mouse. AS is the harvest
mouse, it is also found in grain fields,
where it is very tormenting to the
farmer, for it carries off generous
supply of the grain, which it stores
away just under the surface of the
earth or hides in thick tufts of grass
for its own use. OF the many species
of these little creatures which are scat
tered over the world, these are few
of special interest. - Vick's Floral
