tie pleasure that possesses =se.:..ss.E

its ineffable sweetness is the anticipation
of the large plateful of roast turkey that
bursts into blossoms in our large soulful
visions. No small boy ever looked for

forward to Thanksgiving day, with its
blooming golcondas of turkey, plum pud

The gobbler struts about full OF the

the reason why his owner tosses him corn
and bits OF meat with SO generous hand.

Invented New Binding Irvine

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March l2.--J. c.
Best, who lives a few miles south of
this city, thinks he has solved the
building Irvine problem for the Ameri-
can farmers. Mr.. Best proposes to use
as a substitute for manila and sisal
fiber in the manufacture of Irvine the
fiber OF the yucca plant. or Spanish
bayonet' as it is called in New Mexi-
CO. \ Kansas name for it is bear
grass, so called on account of the
great strength of its fiber. Mr.. Best
has been experimenting with the yucca
plant for several years, and he has pro-
gressed SO far that he has invented a
machine that Will satisfactorily separ-
ate the fiber. Mr.. Best says the manu-
facture of his Irvine Will bring the
trust to more reasonable terms.

More Evidence Against the Water
Light d Power Cv.

Last week we produced some evil
,lence to show the utter worth!essness
of our water system as a protection
against fire. Here is more to the same
purpose. During the big storm of
W ednesday night of last week, only
two days after the Allouez block dis
aster, just at the very time when our
water weakness was being denounc-
ed by the people, and its great power
and efficiency was maintained bv the
company, there was fire in the sth
ward, South Superior, and the Sun,
published in that ward, gives to the
public this account of same:
- 1t wasa terrible night for
fire but we had one nevertheless. =
Shortly after one o'clock one of the
iiremen III the fire hall saw a bright
blaze and at once the company and
team were out and plunging through
drifts-to the corner of Tower and Cen
trail where the one story frame build
ing there located was wrapped in
flames, the whole of the roof being
gone before the company, who were
the first to reach the fire, got there.
The hose was attached to the hydrant
just across tie street, and a stream
poured on, perhaps dropped on would
be more appropriate, for there was not
force enough to throw it on, the stream
not going ten feet from, the nozzle, SO that
had the fire been seen when it first
started it is doubtful whether 1t could
have been put out. To say that the
tiremen were mad, Is putting 1t mlluly,
and that the citizens We're and are In
dignant that although the city is to
great expense OF keeping Il company
here and paying enormous rates tor
water. that we are sttll-aS was fully
demonstrated at this tire-;it the mer
cy of the flames. Had the wind been
from the South the st. James hotel as
well as the whole of the East side OF
Tower avenue would surely have went
and where the flames would have stop
ped 1t is hard TO say
The italics in the above extract are
our own About how longer are the
people of this city going to tolerate
and fatten this glaring fraud? This
Water, Light & Power company with
the consequent fire companies main
tanned, costs the city about 5000, 900
annually, for all which we get virtually
rothing. How does the average tax
payer like this dose. Is not the burden
of honest taxation heavy enough with
out this robber tax? Let the people
organize and demand, at the hands of
the courts Or otherwise, that this
franchise, so utterly at varience with
all laws of decency or equity, be re-
voked. The water company must go,
and the sooner the better.

Something New In Electrical Science.

A man living in Caribou, Aroostook
county, Maine, claims that he has dis
covered an electrical power in the
earth by which means he is able, using
electrical Instruments which have
been invented by himself, to transmit
sounds for any distance. This is dcne
simply by connecting wires with the
earth at different points and making
use of the positive and negative cleo
trical currents i'll the earth. If this
system can be properly utilized and de-
veloped it will do away with the use of
all batteries. The Caribou man has his
system working over distance of one
mile in successful operation. If all
that is claimed for this new discovery
is realized it will cause a revolution in
electrical science, and powers hereto
fore unknown, and therefore useless,
Will do the work now done by costly
machinery

The gray woman eyes dwclt th:rstil,

IL only in snatches. Now it was:
She'd a rose in her bonnet.
And oh. she looked sweet,
As tho little pink flower
That grows in tho wheat.
The car groaned ana bumped over

ligatly--th the song went on with the
journey. A mist rose in the faded
eyes. Then in an interval OF smooth

And he's just a soft twang in the turn OF

The Eight is Over.

SPOKANE, July 25.-After long and
bitter fight the mines in the Coeur d'-
Alenes are now working without danger
of interruption. The Gem, Sierra Neva-
do, Bunker Hill, Custer, Sullivan, Union
and Morning properties are now RUM
ing with non-unipn men. Men are
pouring in by the hundred since the
downfall of the union. There are more
men in the country now than there is
immediate work for. Every mine-owner
in the country is crowded with applica-
tions for positions and is turning away
dozens daily. Ore is being shipped.
There is more hopeful feeling prevail
ing than for the past seven months.
Business in general is better The mill
tary authorities are gradually relaxing
the rigid martial law that has existed
for the past ten days. Nearly all the
strikers have been captured. Those in
the hills will probably remain there
until they make their peace with the
authorities or the mine owners. Still
the agents OF the union are making their
presence felt.
