In the opinion of Kansas man tie
fact that many people in prohibition

tute for alcohol shows how hard it is to

"Kansas druggists sell an immense guam

eating quinine or drinking it in solution
for enjoyment from taste, but the habit
is very common one in almost every
large city, and anti-pyrine is being taken
in the same way" The Kansan might

offers, and doubtless there will be more.
The first tender was made by the COM

the gallant Colonel Olmstead. Of Baker
county, who offers to lead regiment OF
cavalry to Chill. His regiment doubt

Perhaps the government would be

superabundance Of military talent and
fighting pluck.

Politics and the Public Schools,

From HarpeI's Weekly.
The school and its supervision is a
public in crest which should be kept
zealously from sectarian faint and party
control. Politics should have no more
influence in the school system than in
the gas and water supply Of great city.
But until the public has the courage of
its common-sense, and takes the superin-
tendency of public schools out of pol
itics, We shall continue to see such
spectacles as the retirement, in the
prime OF his powers and with invaluable
experience, of the fittest man in the
State fer the uperiLtendence of schools,
because upon certain points of public
policy, which have no concern whatever
with the public school system, he differs
in opinion from the majority Of the Leg
islature.

Heating street Cars by Electricity.


From the Minneapolis Tribune.
1t is probable that the heating OF the
cars Of the Minneapolis Street Railway
Company by coal stoves will soon be
thing of the past. for the little electric
heaters, which the company has teen
testing for some days, are more than full
filing the claims OF the inventors. The
cars which have been supplied with the
almost invisible heat generators have
been as warm and comfortable as could
be wished for during the present cold
snap, much to the surprise Of the passen'
pers. who have looked in vain for stove.
Each car has four heaters, two on each
side, and when all are in operation att, tn, the
have to be opened. One thing which en-
may stand in the way . OF the ; elec, .he
small coal stoves cost but $40. Then
again, the company claims that it car
heat by coal cheaper than electricity.
