The Magic Number.

From the earliest ages, men have
attached something of mystery and
magical character to the number seven.
The classic world had its seven won
ders. Greece had her seven chief
cities and her seven sages. The law
given from Mount Sinai made the
seventh day holy one. The rainbow
presents seven colors. 1t was favor
tie number in the abtruse calculations
of the ancient astrologers, and has
been much used as basis for those
who attempt to unrayel Biblical proph-
ecies. The Burlington Route has on
its line seven cities which are fore
most in the great West and well worth
a visit-Chicago. st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis and
Denver. Between all OF these the
Burlington Route, with its magnificent
vestibuled trains, is the popular means
of communication. For maps, time
tables, etc.. call on local agents or adj
dress W. j. C. Kenyon, Gen. Pass.

If the Worlds Fair at Chicago
proves financial success it will not
be because of any favors shown it by
the railways, for they have until last
week persistently refused to make the
least reduction in their rates. If a
political convention or gathering of
any kind calling together some few
hundred people had been called to
meet in Chicago, all the northwestern
roads would have been slashing rates
to secure the traffic, but to the Worlds
Pair, which attracts millions, they do
not give even the usual excursion rate.
They seem to proceed on the theory
that people will go any way, no matter
what the cost. 1t is an illustration of
the old railway maxim Ito charge
what the traffic will bear" There is
no set of men who will consistently
pursue a wrong course once entered
upon farther than the average railway
manager. In this instance they have
not only robbed the Fair of a large
amount of legitimate income, but
they have foolishly thrown away the
opportunity to make large profits for
their stockholders. We dare say that
had decent railway rate to Chicago
been made in June several hundred
farmers from this valley would have
taken in the Fair, who will be unable
to go hereafter no matter what the
rate.

The United States grand jury in ses-
sion in Milwaukee last week brought
in indictments against the officers and
director of the Plankington bank
which lately suspended. Among the
directors of the bank indicted is Judge
Jenkins of the U. S. circuit court.
There is no reason to believe that
Judge Jenkins has been guilty of any
Intentional wrong, or that he has
knowingly been party to any fraud
upon the creditors or depositors of the
bank. But the grand jury proceeded
upon the theory that it is the duty of
the board of directors to see that the
business of the bank is honestly con-
Quoted for the protection of the com.
munity. The grand jury of Milwaukee
is entitled to the thanks of every per-
son dealing with banks for the whole

tors understand that they have a duty
to perform which mere negligence
cannot excuse, and it will aid mater

Two years ago the present state ad-
ministration started out with brass
band in announcing the reforms they
proposed and the exhibition they
would make of republican frauds.
Among other announcements made at
that time was one to the effect that
the secretary of state and treasurer
had discovered that the lumbermen of
the Chippewa Valley had for years
been stealing pine off state lands.
Long interviews with startling head
lines were published with Messrs. Cum
nigham and Hummer, these gentlemen
asserting without hesitation that they
eddy interesting for some of their
lumbermen neighbors at Eau Claire
and Chippewa Falls. Our impression
is that the damage to the state was
stated as high a 81, 100000. If the
state had been robbed to that extent,
or to any other, it is the statutory
duty of these officials to prosecute the
offenders. People naturally supposed
that as residents of the same cities as
the lumbermen charged with the
offense, Cunningham and Hummer
might have special knowledge of the
subject of their interviews, or at least,
that they would not make such serious
charges against their former neighbors
without the best of reasons. We do
not know that they have ever wIth>
drawn the charge. But we do know
that no steps have been taken to re-
cover on behalf of the state the value
of the stolen property. The people
have a right to know whether any
settlement has been made, and if so,
what has been recovered. If not
settled, then it is due the state that
these officials explain the delay, or
acknowledge that their talk was all
Buncombe. The two officers named,
together with the attorney general,
constitute the State Land Commission.
1t is claimed that all three will be can
didates for governor next year. We
expect the two former to rise and ex.
plain what has become of the charges
made by them two years ago. We ex-
cuse the attorney general. for we
know he is too busily engaged trying
to solve the problem as to whether it
be proper for democratic attorney
general to prosecute delinquent demo-
cratic ex>state treasurers for interest
illegally collected, to have his atten.
ton diverted by other matters. He is
not likely to reach conclusion on
that subject before the end of the
present administration.

uuircd Tastes.

quircd Tastes.
Nowhere have such rare tastes in food
been developed as among the Romans
in ancient times and the Chinese. There
may be found in the bills of fare of the
latter people added eggs, fat grubs,
caterpillars, sharks fins. rats, dogs, In
dian birds nests, and-the finest of all
their delicacies-trepang. What is ire
pang?
Trepang, or tripang, is, according to
Popular Science Nor thly, collective
name by which a considerable number
of species of most curious sea animals
are designated; they are also known as
sea rollers, sea cucumber, in French as
cornichons de mer, and scientifically as
holothurias. They are among the most
sluggish of animals. Only the fixed or
stationary animals are slower than the
holothurias. They lie like gray, brown
or black leather pipes or cylinders on
the bottom of the sea. One might watch
them half day long, if he had nothing
better to do, and hardly see them
change their position, and they rarely
move more than foot or two in several
hours. Their class relatives, the spiny
skinned animals, or echinoderms, are
much more active. A sea urchin or
starfsh is able to get away from a spot
quite nimbly, and the serpent stars, the
most active members of the whole or
der. are capable of using their long,
slender, many jointed arms as legs and
are as quick and alert as crabs.
