engineer Riblet Has Completed His
Design for the Electric CarriaSea

| A"A VIZ n1ect1.c Cafr1aGeA
Engineer B. c. Riblet has completed
his designs of the proposed new electric
cars for the C9ur d'Alene hue. The
designs have been submitted to the
directors of that road, who express
themselves highly pleased with the
plan.
In this connection it may be said that
hl0let was the author of the designs of
the present white street ears in use in
this city.
The ears for the C9ur d'Alene line
Will be constructed with a seating
capacity for IS person, 70 on each end
and 10 in an upper deck elevated in the
center of the car. The motor man will
occupy an exalted position on these
cars. The cars are to be combination
passenger and express: each car capable
OF carrying six tons of freight, which
Will be slowed away in the middle of
the car, underneath what is termed
the upper deck.
They are to be 81 feet long. Each car
Will be specially arranged for obserya-
tlon and equipped with plate glass
windows four and a half feet wide
The center Of gravity in the car will be
low down, occasioned by the high rate
OF speed that is aimed to be attained.
The cars will be painted externally
ivory white trimmed with gold and
'ony. They will also be equipped with
paper wheels.-Spokane Review.

Exterminating the Gopherx.

little cold water and insert a stick OF

The water should just be hot enough 10

continued while the wheat is then al.

The Old Story.

Since the nomination Of Ben, Ha,
Fison, the democratic press and tn
party in general are telling ne wha.
great man James q. Blaine is, until tn
inexperienced would think that if h,
mad been nominated he would have re-
ceived the support OF every democrat il
the land; but no, such is not the case
u is only the old, old story of your o,he,
man is god, but the one YOU hav.
asked the people to support Is worse
than Mephistopheles. But a month ago
every democrat in the Ian was tealin,
us what bold bad man James G. Blaine
WAS, and tho press is vet telling the
people what delusion and snare the
idea OF reciprocity is, and yet in the
same column calling Blaine the greatest
statesman OF the century. Is it not a
httle strange that the grandest idea and
the boldest stroke Of craftsmanship in a
mans life should be delusion and a
snare, yet he the greatest statesman Of
ahe age. No it is not because thew love
Blaine more, but because they love
Harrison less. that they are trying to
create dissatisfaction in the republican
ranks and thereby gain few votes ior
the stuffed prophet; but it will not work
although the republican party favor
Blame, yet We are not in the fix that the
democrats are in, only one man in the
party that is available. The repub,i.
cans have scor.s Of them, any one of
whom they would gladly support, in
iact they would like to see them all
president, and BENJAMIN Harrison will
receive the hearty support OF every re-
publican and he will be elected next
November because the people, no. the
want him.

The House Appropriations Committee to
Meet For the Purpose of Considering the
Needed Expenses Of the Government
SIs6, 900, 900 Needed For Pensions
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. "A call will be
issued very soon for meeting Of the
house appropriation committee at noon,
Monday, November 20 next This will
give the committee about n weeks time
in which to prepare some of the regular
annual appropriation bills for the ac-
tion OF congress when 1t meets for the
second session
II is the purpose 10 push rapidly all
Of these measures for the maintenance
Of the government next year, and as
the treasury department has promised
to submit the estimates for the District
Of Columbia, the pension and the forti-
ications appropriation bills by Novem-
Der 2s, there seems TO be no good reason
why the house should not have one at
least Of these appropriation bills ready
for its action as soon rs it meets,
The exceedingly heavy payments
made by the treasury in the first
quarter Of the present fiscal year have
caused some dismay among the menu
bers Of the appropriations committee.
For the first four months OF the year
these payments have exceeded by sl6,-
OOO, 900 the expenditures for the cores
ponding period in the preceding fiscal
year. which means total increase for
the present year Of S4s, 900, 600 while the
appropriations for the year are only
$4,000, 600 greater than the appropria-
tions for the last year In plain En-
glish that means Gf the estimates of the
committee hold good a deficiency on
account of pensions Of sS6, OOO, 500, which
will have to be met by congress at the
next session, in addition TO an appro-
priation for pensions for the next fiscal
year Of certainly not less than $3.50, 0O0,-
600.
So the total appropriations that con-
gress must make for pensions next ses-
sion will aggregate not less than $780,
600, 600. With this enormous sum added
to the other appropriations necessary to
carry on the government and decreased
importations land consequently re-
ceipts) expected to result from agitation
of the tariff question it win be seen
that the appropriation committee has
good reason to feel dismay at the out
look and doubt its ability to prevent a |
deficiency in the national account

There are two main thoughts that are
iterated and reiterated In this song OF
the centuries. Psalm cxxxyi 20 give
thanks unto the Lord, for He is good:
for His mercy endureth forever"
Goodness, grace, present providence,
eternal purpose. For He is good
Gods everyday kindness. "His mercy
endrreth' - Gods everlasting love
And every verse of the Psalm repeats
this dual tribute. Perhaps you woke
one morning in distant city and heard
ring out on the clear air the peal Of
bells. AT first the little bells from the
neighboring steenles. sounding out in
CHEEKY tones their morning praise; here
one, there another and another,
chorus Of metallic voices crying: "God
is good God is goodl" Then suddenly,
upon these, as it were, childish treble,
broke forth in mighty volume the
booming note of the great cathedral
bell, and 1t seemed at each Of its recur-
ring strokes to hush for the moment
the lesser cries of homage with its
thunderous tribute of sublime adora.
tion: Ills mercy endureth forever!n
So speak the voices of this Psalm from
beginning TO end. 80 give thanks un-
to the Lord. for lie < ss=-s,S5,i, Tor Ills
mercy endureth foreyerl" First the
little bells Of hourly benefits and be-
stowments, then ever and anon the
great bell Of eternal redemption speaks
OUT "ro Him that made great lights"
-''for His mercy endureth forever;
Who giveth food 10 all fesh-for
His mercy endureth forever. o give
thanks unto the God OF Heaven, for
His mercy cDdureth foreverl" Voice
after voice saying: give thanks, "
"Give thanks" Nature hears and
oheys Buds. trees, flowers, each in
their course, give answer; and shall
man alone, to whom this Psalm comes
calling, stay speechless? Voices all
about us, a chorus Of thanksgiving.
Join we with ALL 20 give thanks to
the Lord Of lords, for His mercy en-
dureth forever. Chicago Post.
