General News items.

At the Lyons Rock Salt company's s
mills in Lyons, Kansas, early on the
morning of the 25th, four men were de-
cending the shaft in bucket, when the
traveller became loosened, and fell to the
cage about 800 feet down the shaft. The
men were instantly killed. Their names
were: Thomas Beach, marrled Nelson
Van Brocklin, married; Thomas McCand-
liss, single; Fred A. Miller, single.
There are over 10 900 cases of grip In
Pittsburg and Allegheny. The city is en-
tirely in the grasp of the influenza and
the telephone system of Pittsburg is be-
ing operated by but half the usual corps
of girls. John Ruffner of Possum Hol-
low, after wrestling with the grip for
several days, seized revolver and blew
out his brains. In the public schools 25
out of every 100 pupils are on the sick
list, and also many of the teachers.

Congressman CIRCUITS Record.

We have had frequent occasion to
refer to the valuable services of the
different members Of congress, and
these columns will bear witness to
the fact that their work has been ap-
preciated by their constituents. The
full extent of Congressman CIRCUITS
labors may not have been apparent
to the public owing to the fact that
his attention was largely occupied
during the past session with duties
attending his position as chairman of
the committee on the District of Co.
lumba. An examination of the rec
ords, however, shows that he has ac-
c0mplished a large amount of work.
During the Fifty-first congress just
closed, he introduced eighty-six bills.
of which thirtythree became laws,-
an unusually high percentage. OF the
private bills twenty-five became laws,
including twenty pension bills. OF
the eleven public bills that became
laws one was for the establishment of
a fish hatchery, which was provided
for in the sundry civil appropriation
bill. Most of the others related es-
pecially to district affairs and includ
ed one for refunding the district debt,
one for legalizing building projections
in the District-a local measure of
much interest-and one to prevent
pool selling and book making in the
District. The last named bill was
passed at the first session and vetoed
by the president, but was passed in
slightly altered form in the second
session and received the executive
signature. This is a record which is
creditable alike to Congressman
Grout and the state which he so ably
represents. Free Press.

The Irish Campaign.

The situation in Ireland does not
improve. The pending election in
North Sligo, where the Parnellite
and Nationalist nominees are running
against each other, continues to at
tract mnch attention, and Mr.. Par
nell spoke in Sligo yesterday. The
greatest interest, however, is mani
tested over the situation in Cork.
Mr.. Parnell holds one of tie seats
for this constituency, and Mr.. Maui
rice Healey the other. Recently Par
nell said in a public speech that he
was willing to resign and stand for
reelection as means of testing pop
ular feeling in Cork, if Mr.. Healey
would do the same. Healey prompt
ly excepted the challenge, but at
first Parnell backed out, saying that
for the present nothing should be
allowed to distract attention from
the Sligo contest. He has been so
goaded and chafed by the sneers of
the other party, however, that he has
now consented to place his applica-
ton for the Chiltern Hundreds-that
is to say, his resignation-in the
hands of Mr.. Nolan, requesting him
to forward it ''as soon as Mr.. Healy
submits himself before the electors
of the division of Cork which he rep
resents"
This language is certainly open to
a double construction, and we can
not wonder, after Mr.. Parnell's for
mer evasions and falsehoods, that
Mr.. Davitt should call his present
offer a trick, alleging that Parnell
loes not propose to resign unless
Healey shall first have been defeated
for reelection.
Mr.. Healey has countered Mr..
Parnell's feint by placing his appIi-
cation for the Chiltern Hundreds in
the hands of Sir Thomas Esmonde
for simultaneous presentation with
that of Mr.. Parnell. This will pre-
vent the latter from obtaining any
advantage of his opponent, and will
efectually test the sincerity of his re-
cent challenge.

CommendabIe Advancement.

We are always glad to notice the ad-
vancemcnt and prosperity of the enter
prising and honorable business concerns
of our city, and the announcement that
New Hampshire and Vermont have been
consolidated into one insurance district
and placed in charge of Messrs. Cheney,
Shurtleff & Cheney, by the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York, is one
certain to be commended on all sides and
sure to bring satisfaction both to the
company and the pOlicy-holders. As the
Mutual Life is the largest monetary cor
poration in the world and the foremost
representative of life underwriting, so
Messrs. Cheney, Shurtleff & Cheney rank
with the men in our city who enjoy to
the fullest extent the confidence of the
business community. All honorable and
affable gentlemen, they conduct their
business in manly, straightforward
manner, winning friends both for their
company and themselves, as they trans
act the largest life insurance business in
the state. They likewise pay to the state

any insurance company, having recently
sent the state treasurer n check for ST.,
1916, being a per cent tax on premi-
ums collected in New Hampshire in 1890.
The premium collections of the agency
for the present year, including the addi-
tion of territory, will be in the vicinity
of $3.50 900. That IA business of this mag
nitude in our midst must advertise our
business and in many ways bring us
profit should be apparent to all.
The people of Vermont will make no
mistake if they extend hearty welcome
to Messrs. Cheney, Shurtlefi & Cheney,
feeling assured that they are dealing with
upright men, whose reputa-
tions are sufficient passport to favor

The PoIariScope.

So many questions are being asked
by farmers about the polariscope, its
cost, use, etc., that the following de-
scription will be of interest: The po
lariscope is an instrument somewhat
resembling a telescope, SO construct
ed that when a tube is put in the mid
die of it filled with a solution made
by dissolving a certain weight of the
sugar under examination in a certain
quantity of water and then is pointed
at certain strong light, the light is
reflected out of the tube until prism
or crystal, called Iceland spar, is SO
turned in the tube that the light pass
es through and into the eye of the OBJ
server. The moving of this prism is
measured on a scale, and on this
scale the per cent of sugar may be
read. If distilled water is placed in
the tube the scale reads zero; if
solution of 26.05 grains of pure SUI
gar is 100 cubic centimeters be plac-
ed in the tube, the scale reads 100;
if the same weight of sugar of un
known quality be dissolved in the
same volume Of water, the reading of
the scale, wherever it may be located
between zero and 100, will be the
per cent of sugar present. The use
of the polariscope by individual farm
ers is utterly out of the question, both
on account of its cost and the fact
that only an experienced chemist can
understand the method Of test. The
instruments are made in this country,
but all that are used here are import
ed from Germany, those manufacture
ed there being much superior. With
duty paid, polariscope would cost
ordinarily about $175. If one test
only was made, it would take fully
half an hour, and a rapid days work
could hardly turn out more than 60
tests. The task of testing will thus
entail a vast amount of labor and
the exact method by which it will be
done is not known.-BurZingto1a Free

If we are not mistaken there sew
eral peanut politicians in this state
who have developed a wonderful
love for the farmers since that class
of citizens effected an organization
and are now holding farmers meet
ings in different parts of the state.
If the record of these peanut states
men is looked up it will be found
that they have been in love at divers
and sundry times. They have loved
the republican party but no political
Office came to them they have been
deeply interested in the welcome of
the old soldier but he found them out
they have attempted to straddle
about every important and unimpor-
tant issue during the last quarter Of
century, but their gymnastics have
only amused the public without prov
ing profitable to the actors. Just
now their political affiliations are
sort of a republican-democrat-mug-
wump, anything to get solid with the
voters, while their affection for the
dear farmer is too touching for any
thing. These fellows make an hon
est man tired. .-Burli7ogton Clipper.

better success than he did. No one
but Davis ever regarded him as un-
faithful to the Confederacy. Those
who knew him pest considered him
a highly honorable man. 1t was
the friendship of General Sherman
that retained him as a United States
railroad commissioner, President
Cleveland having appointed him dur
ing his administration. His reap
pointment was the only favor that
Sherman ever asked of President
Harrison.

hundred and thirty-nine rum shops
are owned by British peers, who, ,nev-
ertheless, are constantly making
speeches deprecating the growing
tendency of the English masses to
drunkenness
The British tories who insist so
strongly upon the loyalty of colonists
to the mother land, even at the sac
rifce of their own material interests,
are frequently confounded these
days. They are beginning to discov-
er that colonial children can become
too large for leading strings. Just
now there is a strong breaking away
from parental control in two Oppo-
site sections of the globe, Australia
and Newfoundland, and it will re-
quire very skillful handling on the
part of the home government to pre-
vent an outbreak in the latter espec-
tally. AS long as the Australian COL
onies remained separate each natur-
ally looked to England, but when
they are bound together in confed-
Grafton for mutual protection and adj
vantage, equip fleets for their own
defense and elect their governor
general by popular vote, all of which
steps appear to be on the program,
their connection with Great Britain
will be shadowy, and actual as we'll
as virtual independence will unques-
tionably follow. A great indepen-
dent Anglo-Saxon republic in the an
tipodes would be great gain to the
cause of progress and civilization.
