A story is going the rounds about a
man who wandered into the Electricity
building a day or two ago and was
taken away shouting crazy. 1t was
said that he stood before pavilion in
which cut glass in myriad forms throws
back the reflection of many incandes-
cent lights From the roof of the
pavilion towers a pillar eighty-two
feet For a few seconds this is pillar
of ruby light. Then it changes to
white light, and next to purple. With
the regularity of clockwork the trans
formation of color goes on, but always
the pillar of light made by five thou
sand lamps IS there. And each lamp
has the power of six candles. On top
of-the column is bulb six feet high
Thirty thousand bits of crystal go to
make up the bulb. The expert and
eight assistants We're six weeks putting
the bits together. Through this glass
fash the most powerful electric burn
ers. Here is base of dazzling scintil
lations, q column of ever-changing
color an apex of fire. OF the twenty
four thousand horsepower which the
management has provided for the en-
tire fair. seventeen thousand horse
power is set apart for the manufacture
of electricity for various purposes. The
pillar of light eats up electrical energy
at the rate of fifteen hundred horse
power. Before this pillar stood the
man. plain farmer. when the current
was turned on. He saw that eighty
feet of solid brilliancy blaze out and
then die away. He stood as if chained
Once or twice he put his hand 20 his
face Somebody who saw he was
peculiarly affected started TO speak to
him. He raised his arms and with a
terrible yell fell forward on his face.
Two guards picked him up Shouting
at the top of his voice he started on
wild race over dynamos and wires and
motors Five guards caught him and
overpowered him. All the way to the
station he fought and shouted Then
he became calm I'll tell you how it
was, he said Somebody mas stuck bot

don't know how those bottles came
there. There are millions of them.
They were all right at first, but the
devils poured red fire in them Don't
hurt me- had nothing to do with it. "
How true this story is we cannot say,
but the spectacle referred to is enough
TO dazzle anyone, and when the wires
are manipulated as they are in most
wonderful fashion, the effect is simply
paralyzing in its magnifcence-

Prosperous Viola Township.
EDITOR RErUBLICAN:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
BY your kindne IS we would like 10 write a few
lines on behalf OF one OF the citizens OF Viola
township.
] see that the Advocate Is taking quite an ac-
tive part in trying to vilify certain citizens OF
Viola township, and also saving anything that
he can think Of 10 make a dissatisfaction and
disseption among our citizens and neighbors
here.
Viola township with her fertile soil and her
location as to climate, school facilities, churches
and good citizens cannot he eXCelled by any
township in the county nor in the state of Iowa.
II has been the lot Of some of her citizens to
come to the county poor financially, and have to
place q mortgage on their farms, but as TO fru-
gality, industry and to the paying of Of such
mortgages think that Viola stands at the head
Of any township in the county. The rate Of taxa
ton Is as low IL not lower now than any time
during her existence rs township, II has been
the grievance OF the township to have some on
GERS that thought because they were its officers
they could buy anything they might wish for
the township and the township would have to
stand II.
Now as the Advocate wishes To take the side
that law is expensive and that the township has
done an unwiSe thing by trying to put stop to
the purchasing of unnecessary things for the
township it would be a pleasure for myself, and
perhaps a bcncht, if he would start series Of
articles showing the amount OF school furniture
purchased, the price paid for the apparatus, map
and all such ficturcS aud show hy u logical con
cluSiOn in what way a man or a ncighbOrhOOd
would be better protected from the outrage that
Viola township has sustained than the method
we have pun sued; then he might dO his paper a
credit. So far as saying what he did in his last
article any person of reasonable intelligence
knows that it is disgrace to any journal that
woulk like the support Of the people in its neigh
bOrhoOd. We would like for any citizen in
Audubon county to investigate the records Of
Viola township and see If the economical en-
tlemCn are wrong or right.
IL there are any more gUShCS Of SluSh ard I'M
proper remarks against Viola township, or any
of the citizens that were favorable to the bring
ing to Justice Of the Offenders Of the township,
we will he compelled to publish some of the
records Of the township We think that it was
done by the Advocate to do the township an in
Justice and TO lihcratC TIE parties held to Justice.
Respectfully,
Il. \. JOHNSON.

Kansas is Bleeding Again.

Yesterday the republicans of the
Kansas house forced their way through
populist obstructionists in the corridors
and took possession of the hall in the
capitol. The populists have shut off
steam in the building, so that the re-
publicans are without heat and food.
kilograms were sent out over the state
calling for volunteers, and friends of
the warning forces are gathering by the
hundreds. 1t is expected that serious
trouble will ensue. The popullsts have
been guilty of both ursurpation and
fraud, and republican demand for rights
comes only too late.

The public will soon be favored with
the postal script in lieu of the postal
note. The system has been SO simpli.
fled that there is little or no compiled
ton, and at the same time furnishes a
good way to send money. a sheet call
ing for the amounts from cent to SO
has been prepared, which, on the pay
ment of cent, the amount to be sent
will be torn off about the same as an
express order. There will be no writ
ing on it of any sort by the postmaster,
the sender endorsing the check or draft.
The government guarantees its safe
transportation. 1t is thought the new
system will be used extensively by the
Senders of small amounts.

Children Like II.

Cubeb Cough Cure is the only prepa,
ration which will not retard digestion
it will not nausate like so many cough
mixtures. The druggists and public in
general are fast approaching the fact
that a cough remedy like Cubeb Cough
Cure-that will give instant relief and
a sure cure-is the greatest desideratum
of this age, and not cough remedy
that requires twenty-four to forty eight
hours to give relief to severe cold
which by that time in a great many
cases, has developed into fatal attack
of Pneumonia.
Cubeb Cough Cure goes directly to
seat of the trouble, is prompt in its
action, gives instant relief and prevents
that delay which is often dangerous,

Mr.. Gresham.

1t is given out with reasonable Ger
tainty that Judge Walter q. Gresham
will be secretary of state under the new
administration. Mr.. Gresham has been
unique figure in national politics, and
during the two last campaigns has oc
cupied an ambiguous position, prepared
in any event to join in the halleluiahs
of the triumphant. Indeed his position
was so uncertain that the pOpulists in
national convention rendered him the
nomination for the presidency and their
suffrages, and while this was declined
in whisper, the distinguished jurist
had not the hardihood to express an
opinion indicating that he was not in
full sympathy with their platform. 1t
is said that jealousies between President
Harrison and Jud &c Gresham have been
the cause of the latter's wayering polit-
ical trail. but his record iustifies the
conclusion that had the republican par
ty triumphed last November he would
have repented his heresy and remained
republican.
The news is authentic, however, that
Gresham will be called into Cleveland's
cabinet, to the exclusion of the old line
handwriting democrats. Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Gresham thus endorse them.
selves as better than the democratic
party, and recommend to the people of
the nation a new brand of democracy
better than the old. The hundreds of
democrats equally capable are invited

! to the new brand. There is much talk
among democratic senator's that Ores,
