Fitting q Horse Collar.

How to properly adjust the collar
OF horse is knowledge that all men
do not possess, and many disagree on
important matters Some men keep
the inner surface of the collar soft
and pliable. Every time the collar is
put on it is pressed and pummeled
until it is soft. Others equally as
good farmers, never soften the wear
ing surface of the horses collar, but
simply rub of the accumulated hair
and dandruff. The latter plan is most
praccsed. The wearing surfaces of

CURED THE WRONG THIRST.
A Drunkard Who Only Wanted to
Lose His Taste for Brandy.

A most disreputable looking drunk
ard went to an inebriates' retreat
where they squirt sObriety into peo-
ple's arms and give them whisky dosed
with ipecac to get them disgusted with
it. He said to the man in charge of
the factory:
81 have the whisky habit badly, and
want to get cured. don't desire ever
to touch another drop"
"Pay $25 a week, sign the bylaws,
and the things done," said the mana
ger.
After three weeks the patient went
into the business Office looking very
sour.
"See here" he said, Il find that
I'm losing my liking for brandy. How
about that? You must have given me
the wrong medicine. 1 came hore to
be cured of the whisky habit"
"Certainly," replied the manager
blandly. "Our treatment will relieve
you not only of the taste for whiskey,
but OF all craving for alcoholic stimu-
liant, be it brandy, whisky, cider or
gin."
Holy CasarW roared the patient
in a rage. al came here distinctly to
be attended to on account of my liking
for whiskey, and now you've been
monkeying with my prediction for
brandy. What kind OF . skin game
is this you're running p Why, I had
brandy thirst on me that wouldn't
sell for 100000. My scheme was
to get up dislike for whiskey SOS I'd
have all my taste to devote to brandy.
I've been taken in, sir. The things .
scheme of the most contemplate Or
der. I'll find out in the courts whether
you can go around making people
turn against brandy against their
will"
The New York Herald thinks his
suit will be awaited with interest
by lawyers as we'll as drunksrds. A
jury may be called on to assess the
value of q brandy thirst.

Republican Scandals.
The TncOmian.

There has been no end of scandal
and disgraceful proceedings in connec-
ton with the establishment OF various
State institutions, but the history of
the so-called agricultural college at
Pullman presents features of peculiar
aggravation. Starting with a scandal
OF alleged corruption in regard to its
location, the unsavory reputation of
its President has kept the institution
before the public in a disagreeable
manner for months. Finally, after a
lively scramble among the members of
the board for the position, Lilly was
ousted and man named Hessen chos.
en- to succeed him. But the students
favored Lilly, and the friends of the
new President assert that Lilly in his
farewell speech to the students, so
aroused their feelings against Smith,
one OF the regents, that they abused
and insulted both Smith and Heston,
drove them out of the college, and

Largest Fires on Record.

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Chicago sometimes brags that it had
the biggest fire in history; but it seems
that Moscow in 1914, had a bigger one
in which 3O,SOO buildings were de.
stroyed, valued at $150,OO0,0OO. The
loss in the Chicago fire of October
1871, was $l25,oOO,OOO; the buildings
destroyed, 17,450. The buildings de.
stroyed by the great fire of London,
1866, were 1920, valued at $55, 5,OOO,'
600. The great fire OF Boston, 1872
destroyed $5O,OOO,OOO, burned over
sixty-five acres and consumed or
ruined 776 buildings. In 1870 Con-
stantinople had a confiagration of $24,.
100000 and 500 buildings. In 1851
San Francisco lost $500 buildings
vsiAed at $17,OOO,OOO. In 1852 Ham.
burg had fire which consumed ,747
of the finest buildings in the city. 1t
is hardly to be expected that any fire
hereafter will burn more than those
at Moscow and Chicago.

wise would have been impossible in
the depleted state OF its treasury. The
report has not been denied that the
members of the commission, while
travelling on Northern Pacific free
passes, have collected the amount for
such transportation from the State
funds, and another large appropriation
will be asked for to maintain the State
building properly.
These are not pleasant stories to re-

has already been the victim to such
degree of the base and corrupting in
fluences of politicians, what may be
expected in the future?

No More Washington Spruce.
New York Lumber Trade Journal.

New York Lumber Trade Journal.
The lumber commercially known
as Washington spruce has had its
name changed to Washington pine.
The change of the name will be in a
great measure help the introduction
OF this lumber into the Eastern mar.
kets. The name of spruce was in.
clined to operate against it, as there
is sort of prejudice against spruce as
an easy wood to work into finishing
lumber. Pine, however, is generally
and favorably known throughout the
country, as it has been adopted by
common consent to correctly classify
various kinds of lumber. There il
white pine, yellow pine, Norway
Washington pine and Alaska pine
The last two belong to the State o.
Washington, and will soon be as wei
known as their older sisters.

Nickel Deposits.

Nickel was originally noticed as q
peculiar metal in the copper ores ol
Germany; and first isolated by Cron'
stedt in 1851. Its use in the arts
however, has been largely developed
within the past fifty years. While de-
posits OF nickel ore have been worked,
to some extent, i'll many counties, the
worlds supply is derived largely from
the extensive deposits-one in New
Caledonia, the other at Sudbury, Can
ada.
The latter deposit is, perhaps, the
most extensive in existence, but the
New Caledonia mines, discovered
about twenty-five years ago, still sup
ply most of the nickel used.
The percentage of nickel in the
Sudbury deposit is between two and
three per cent; that of the New Gale
donia, from eight to ten per cent. The
most valuable deposits thus far dis
covered in the United States are in
Oregon, Nevada and North Carolina
Those of Oregon are the silicate class
and have been but little developed
Those of Nevada are extensive and
fairly rich; but, being arsenides ol
nickel the ores are difficult to refine
The North Carolina ores. at recent
trial, averaged but about two per cent
of nickel, though samples of it have
run as high as ten per cent. Nickel
is used in steel; but not to very
great extent. A bar OF nickel steel was
recently shown in the east, containing
twenty-five per cent. of nickel. II
was about two inches in diameter
very tough, and took beautiful pol
ish, For many purposes, as for ex'
ample the manufacture of pistol bar
rels, steel with large percentage OF
nickel bids fair to prove of much

together with Superintendent DAVIS.
Engineer Collar and Clark Twamlsy,
Alderman Frost would like 70 awaken
renewed interest IN the time worn sub
lect Of the Cook we'll contract, or IN
some way put in operation some method
OF obtaining a supply Of pure wafer.
President Shelby read a four-psgs
article from an engineering magazine
on improved methods of 1itersng.
Chattanooga. Tenn, Atlanta, Ga, aud
othsr cities were cited - places where
filteTlng plants were IN success
ful operation and supplying from
three % seven million gallons
of water daily. Mr.. Twamiey read .
communication from y inter furnish
ing concern which stated that New
Orleans WAS now putting IN . plant
that would filter IL ,000. 900 gallons
daily. The board also presented re-
cent communication from the Cook
Well company which stated that that
company would enter into contract 10
put down elght-inch wells for the city
OF Grand Rapids ~ the rate OF $s.2S
per foot OF driven wells, and woald
put down ~ many or 80 few weiis as
the city desired 10 experiment with.
This proposition was made with the
understanding on the part OF the CON-
papy that the city did not care TO en-
ter into the contract proposed last year,
which guaranteed the pernsanency OF
the supply. President Shelby took the
position that II the city was 10 make
any search for ground water the better
plan was 10 enter INTO the contract
with the Cook Well company. That
contract proposed 5,000, 900 gallons
daily for SIS 900 and any additional
amount deeired at the rate OF IS 600 tor
each additional million gallons. The
supply Was guaranteed for one year or
no money was 10 be paid. AT.Noroen
expressed himself as much interested
in the plan Of hlter.ng the present sup
ply. He argued that there could be
no question ~ 10 getting from Grand

the city might demand, and that II the
altering of water IN quantities large

been made . succes. that plan Was the
one Grand Rapids should ADOPT. Cor
