Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence is the mean
descent electric light Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down TO
the office of the Electric Company and said:
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
SO near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks
This is the sentiment Of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

At the Methodist church the affair

the country school character, in
which Misses Jennie Dickman,

dressed true to the life of the rural
ties whom they represented. After
this ice cream and cake were served.

At the Christian church they had
Martha Washington entertainment

highest degree of Knighthood in the
Knights of the Globe last evening.
These members now constitute a
garrison conclave, and individually

j. d. Montague. Rock Falls, and
Rev. c. Davis and S. J. Harvey, of
Sterling. The ceremony. an impress
sive and elevating one. was conduct
ed at Carse hall. The formation of
a conclave has been the one ambition
of Fort Armstrong garrison, which
is a thriving one with membership
close on to one hundred, for some
time-and now that the elder men,
bers have reached the highest pima
Gle of Knighthood, they are more than
elated and are very much impressed
with the beauty Of the work. The
ceremony includes a spread. which
about twenty-six of the Knights did
justice to. The conclave chose

A. Darling as chancellor; S. Mat
tison, marshall and G. H. Kings

Hints on W3ntering Turnips.

While turnips will stay out and grow
larger, better and sweeter through
early frosts, still they are SO exposed
that . severe cold snap will spoil them.
Turnips are pitted three to four feet
deep and wide. Rutabagas require
warmer quarters, and it is best to give
them some ventilation. Somehow, they
absorb more heat, and when confined
are more likely to spoil. Parsnips and
carrots should have pits not over three
feet wide and should not be piled over
three test deep ct The highest point

KEEPING ROADS SMOOTH.

Why Every state in the Union should
Pass Wide Tire Laws.
Abiding to the wide tire law of Con-
necticut, the Springfield Republican de-
clares that it is an eminently wise and
reasonable enactment, and the only
wonder is that people have to be forced
by legal measures into doing what is SO
plainly for their own interest. No
other single element except ignorant
road-making adds so much to the heavy
burdene of supporting the highways as
the use of narrow tires, which cut up
the roads instead of ironing them
smoothly down. Look at the beautiful
glossy path which the bicyclists make
for themselves at the edge of the road,
Before the puddles are fairly dried up,
and then at the bottomless ABYSS
plowed by the loaded wagons, and one
has the whole thing in a nutshell. The
pneumatic bicycle tire, by fattening at
the point of impact with the road, has
IL the effect of wideYtire combined
with a comparatively light weight.
The horses hoofs chop up the road
somewhat, but this is nothing in COM
parison with the deep cuts of the mar
row wagon tires on vehicles carrying
heavy loads. If reasonably good roads
are made in the first place and vehicles
are equipped with tres, with some
thing near the same proportion of
weight to width, as the tires of BIZ
cycle, and with the tread of the rear
wheel wider than those of the front
1.,haa1o m az not tn follow in the same
path, the surface Of roads would not be
rutted, but on the contrary the wheels
would serve as rollers to roll the roads
down hard and make them better. It
seems rather a travesty on common
sense, as has been well said, to tax the
public to purchase. expensive rollers to
smooth down the highways and then
permit narrow-tfred wagons to cut
them up 1T their own, sweet will. The
more economical way would be to make
rollers out Of the wagons BY putting
wids tires On then. 'i'5iz'is.'a
