TWO SIDES OF 1T.
Claim Made by the City Attorney in the
GAINESVILLE License Case.

GAINESVILLE License Case.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, June 19.-[Special.1-
When the Supreme court decided that
the special license election held in James
vile was valid it also decided that it was
invalid. This is the claim made by the
attorneys, Mahoney & Hyser, for the
plaintiffs, but City Attorney McElroy diff
fers with them. The Supreme court,
while deciding the points at issue in the
first case, held that the election was or
should have been held under the general
election law and that the general law
applied. This law provides for the post
ing of five notices of election in every
precinct, which was not done, so the
case is begun over again Gu that line.
The petitioners ask for writ of GER
tiorari, which will act as a bar to fur
Their proceedings, and as the case cannot
be decided before July l. when the Ii
cense money is due, it will make endless
trouble for the city. City Attorney Nc
Elroy, however, is confident that he will
win the case. The petition was filed this
morning

Making Vigorous Protest.
Oshkosh Wis, June 19.-TSpecial.] j
According to information received at the
local government Office the stage of water
in Lake Winnebago is lower than ever
and steadily growing worse, especially
since the resembling order was granted al
lowing the lower Fox River valley mill
owners to resume the use of their water
powers. Steamboat men are again kick
ing and charge the millmen with not liv-
ing up to their Saturday and Sunday
closing agreement. 1t is now very proba-
BILE that another order will be issued Or
dering another complete shutdown.
At the Office of the government engineer
in Milwaukee it is explained that rumor
that the water supply in the Fox river
had been shut off from some of the mills
probably grows out of mutual agree
ment entered into between all the water
power users along the stream, by which
any mills which are found to have used
or are using more than their allotted guam
tity of the flow, must close up for one,
two or more days in order to ''eyen up"
This arrangement, as mutually agreed
to by the users of the supply, is being
enforced by Government Engineer Mann
and Hydraulic Engineer Orbison, and
seems to be working satisfactorily.

UP TO DATE IDEAS.

The following account of the employment OF
electric motive power on the farm and in the
forest is translated from Der Stein der Welsen,
Vienna: The following two examples may
serve to show how machinas in these two de-
partments of industry are run by electricity.
The first, the electric plow, consists OF two
vehicles, each bearing Gramme motor, placed
on opposite sides of the field to be plowed. BY
the winding and unwinding of cable actuated
by the motors the plow is dragged TO and fro
across the field The motor is fastened to the
iron frame of the wagon, and its axle carries
at the ends friction-disks that connect with
large friction-wheels. These transmit their
motion through cogwheels to drum, which
by winding up the cable draws the plow. The
friction-wheels are large and their motion Is
transmitted to the large cogwheels of the drum
through smaller cogwheels because 1t is nec-
essary to transform the quick rotation of the
motor axle into a relatively slow turning OF
the drum. Through proper mechanism the
motor may also be connected directly with the
wheels of the wagon that carries 1T, so that 1t
moves not the drum but the wagon itself.
A firm in Budapest has recently introduced
an electrical cutting machine, which has been
put in practical operation in the forests OF Ga

either serves to make cut by boring row OF
