THERE ought to be no further I'M
certainty regarding the cost of an
electric light plant for municipal
lighting, now that electrician Pass,
electrical expert Haynes and the cross
compound battery of the lighting cal
culator of the ReUieaU have all been
brought to bear on a full and mex
haustive array of figures. This trio
of experts agree that $4,000 is all the
money that could possibly be used I'M
less, forsooth, the city should proceed
to ''erect fine building, steel truss,
slate roof, tile ridges, sky-lights,
mechanical stokers, marble switch
boards, brass trimmings, etc." which
Mr.. Haynes volunteers to suggest
should not be INDUCED in as long as
the water works are in their present
temporary location. Temporary is good.
1t will be something new to the
average taxpayer to know that we
should be prepared to move our pump
ing station "out of the way of the
railroads and where we will have room
to store water which we now let run
to waste when the pumps are idle"
And, says the county surveyor, ''for
many other reasons that location is
not economical" 'Twere ever thus.
The great drawback we have had to
contend with for years is that the
wise men of the east come west and
fail to impart their knowledge on
economics until large expenses have
been incurred and then they come for
ward with revelations absolutely
astonishing. Mr.. Haynes says that
Marshalltown, Iowa, established a
light plant in connection with their
water works last summer for ST., ZOO
and run IS lights that cost SIT apiece
per annum. The gentleman does not
inform an unenlightened community
whether the cost of fuel, engineer and
other expenses are charged up against
the water works or otherwise, neither
does he give, the hours of lighting, mol
the size of the light, but he may rest
assured that no one, however ignorant
of the cost of producing electricity,
believes for moment that any city
or corporation can furnish satisfactory
city lights for SIT each per year or
three times that cost if the plant is
required to take care of itself and not
be supported by some other branch OF
city supply. AS matter of fact, these
gratuitous figures put before the pub,
lie by men who have no greater per,
sonal knowledge about the cost OF
producing electricity and maintain
| ing plant than they do about the
habits and customs of Dahomians in
the wilds of Africa, are not calculated
to inspire taxpayers with any great
amount of desire to try the experiment
of bonding the city for city lighting
at this time, even though the ques'
tion be submitted to vote.

The directors of the Creamery asso,
citation have located their building on
Cranes addition, west of the Congre-
gational church. Enough money has
been pledged to build. The ice is
put up, and we expect by the first of
April to be turning out gilt-edged
butter. Farmers are getting tired of
selling butter for 10 cents when they
can just as well get 20 cents.
The supper given by the ladies of
the Catholic church at Sprague's hall
was grand success; as was also the
temperance lecture by Mrs. Lake OF
the same society, netting them about
$4,000.
Our High school entertainment last
Friday night was success. About
$4,000 was realized, which will be used
to buy books for the school library,
while every number was remarkably
well rendered. The Indian club drill
by the boys of the High school, calls
themes exercises by Miss McLaughlin's
, scholars, the Goodnight drill by Miss
Drew's little girls, and the Welsh
song by Blossom Spaulding deserve
special mention.
There will be a supper in Sprague's
hall, Thursday evening, March 18th,
given by the wives of members of our
band, to raise money to buy uniform
suits, which the band boys wish to
use at the celebration of the an
niversary of the /. O. O. +. held here
in April.
The Aid society of the Congrega-
gational church will meet with Mrs.

Mrs. p. G.. Johnston, of South Shore,

and relatives for prolonged visit.
The teachers examination held here
by Superintendent Scherer, is well at
tended.
Prof. N. E. Bagley visited the Wells
schools today. Our High school
closed that the examination could be
held in their room.
Miss Marie Bachtle goes to Mime
apolis tomorrow where she will stay a
few weeks studying millinery styles.
Miss Lizzie Campbell, sister of Mrs.
Donald McGregoe, is on the sick list.
Misses Lillian Drews and Sue.
Sprague visited Mrs. Will Healy, of

THE ST. Peter Herald suggests the
holding of national fair at the mid
way district between St. Paul and
Minneapolis in 1900, and thinks it
could be made a great success, besides
being great thing for the northwest.
The scheme is endorsed by the St.
Paul Call, which calls upon the COM
mercial organizations of the two
cities to take the matter in hand.
There is no reason why such an expo
sition should not be made as success.

great thing for this section of country
goes without saying.

Not a Striking Success.

Chicago Inter Ocean:
The state of New Jersey has had an
arbitration law and salaried board
of arbitration for several years, but
not one case of dispute between en-
ployers and employees was compromis-
ed in 1893 and 1894, though the board
of arbitration had many sittings at
$40 day for each member. The
legislature of New Jersey is seriously
considering the advisability of repeal
ing the law.

DR.. buchanan, the wife Murderer, Dies In
the Fatal Chair.
SING SING, N. Y, July Mrs Bu-
chanan, first aud also third wife of DIR.
Robert w. Buchanan, the condemned
wife murderer, went to Poughkeepsie
last night to make a last appeal for her
husband. At 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing she VENT to Rhinecliff, Gov. Morton's
home, and, securing entrance to his
private office, sank on her knees before
the governor and pleaded for her nus
bands life, though her grief almost
prevented her from speaking. Gov.
Morton was plainly overcome by the
woman's pleading and tears, and tears
stood in his eyes as he lifted her to her
feet and told her that he could not
grant her request.
News of this refusal to interfere
further was at once telegraphed here
and Warden Sage decided that nothing
was left to him but to carry out the
laws sentence, the Encouragement
having also decided that It would be
right to proceed. Preparations were
at once made for carrying out the
death sentence.
1t was 1l:14 when the witnesses were
called to the death chamber. All was
then ready and Electrician Davis was
ut the switchboard. Close by In the
death cell was the convict who was to
pay the penalty.
In about thirty seconds Buchanan
was strapped. Then the current wa
turned on and in forty seconds he was
pronounced dead. The voltage Of LILAC
was kept on for four seconds and then
reduced to forty volts, which was kept
on for thirty seconds more.

took q room at Capt. McCoy's-
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning

nobody could locate them. Yesterday
afternoon an examination of the room
occupied by Sanders and wife revealed

and the floor deluged in blood. An
examination Of the bodies disclosed q

Sanders left q letter saying that the
