Good Work Cheap.

The bridge and grading, across
Platte river at Gravelville has been
completed under the supervision 'of
County Commissioner La Fond. and
a good job was done at very low
cost. When the town board Of
Belle Prairie and Commissioner La
Ford met to let the contract the
lowest offer obtained was $3.50 for
the bridge and fill ten feet wide. The
board decided that the price was
too high, and it was decided to
have the work done under the direc-
ton OF the county commissioner.
Mr.. LaFond purchased the material
and employed the labor, and the
result was the bridge was completed
and grading done for a total -ex-
pense OF $235. This also includes q
grade sixteen feet wide instead OF
ten, W hich is much safer for those
using the road. The cheap price at
which the improvements were com
pleted saves over 800 of the county
appropriation for Belle Prairie
town to use on the other road i'm

NikoIa Tesla has plan Of his own for

it to a newspaper young man not long
ago. Thunder showers on the earth are
produced by electrical disturbances i'll

produce in the earth's atmosphere an
electrical disturbance which shall be
powerful enough toreach Mars, we shall
be sending our message to the red planet
whether the people there can interpret it
or not. Electricians have already reach
ed the point where they can produce all
tho artificial thunder and lightning they
wish. Already electrical apparatus can
be made easily with "spark gap" Of a
mile, and Tesla believes this gap could
be enlarged indefinitely. II we were to
begin and treat Mars to a fine display OF
thunder and lightning every Sunday aft

Fav0ring Reciprocity.

A strong movement ia on foot in Va
sious parts Of the country to secure the
re.enactment Of those reciprocity laws
which were the pet project Of Mr.. Blaine
during the latter years Of his life. The
Blaine idea was to- give special advan-
tages in commerce to those nations that
gave special advantages to Us. Thus, in
consideration Of the free admission Of
Cuban sugar to this country, Spain took
of large proportion Of the duty she
charged on American -four, pork and
other commodities shipped to Cuba.
The duty ON flour was cut down to 81
per 220 pounds, about one-fourth Of
what it had been before. Our annual
trade with Cuba increased more than
S8, 000, 900 during the three years of
reciprocity from 1890 till 1894. Then
the revision Of the tariff necessarily
brought about the abolition Of the treat
les and the consequent falling off OF
trade with various nations. The Ma.
tional Association of Manufacturers is
one Of the bodies strongly urging the re-
enactment Of reciprocity. It's president,
Mr.. Theodore g. Search Of Philadel-
phia, considers reciprocity as a purely
business measure. without any politics
at all in it.
He declares further that treaties such
as his association aims at are necessary
to our self preservation, particularly
with tho Latin American countries
Other nations arc negotiating CONNER
cial treaties with the Central and South
American republics. If we do not wake
up we shall find ourselves shortly push
ed out OF trade which naturally all be-
longs to lis.

DOCTORS As CoNREsSORS

The bin introduced in Congress In respect

with opposition frcm the justices of the
District supreme court, who fifed protest
against its enactment.
The Medical Society. through DR.. Busey,
its president, replies to the objectors in a
lengthy communication, just made public
in which, while the highest respect is ex-
pressed for the court, the spokesman OF the
society voices It's surprise at the opposition.
The measure provides for "the extension
to the citizen OF the liberty of privileged
communications, and for his protection
in the enjoyment of the right of unreserved
and Observation-Disclosures ntohisphysician." to
The doctor cites twenty-one States and
Territories in which there is similar law.
He argues that the proposed law is just and
wise; that If it is IICper TO Rglsiate SO
that man may not lie required to crimi-
nate himself, it is gIoss injustice not 10
go further and protect him from the dis
closure of his confidential communication

He cites the fact that legal advisers are
not Obliged 10 divulge what may be said by
clients. and says il cannot be admitted
that such communications are any more ga
cred than the confidences of sick people.
