others a Frenchman.
Time was when the day was fittingly
observed in this city. but il hasn't been
for a long time now. The Hibernians
used to turn ont in parade. and the day
was made fully as much Of S a number
of other semi-public holidays. but for
a dozen or fifteen years it has been more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. Then. too. there would be
another and different sort Of Incl
dent TO mark the day People animal
ed more by a spirit Of fun than by a
reverence for st. Patrick, would stuff
a suit of clothes with hay. place a bat
tered plug" hat on the top of it, tie
Jug 10 one hand and suspend it from
the old Hope hose house tower or at
the Second ward market. As a result
there would sometimes almost be a riot
and many a man with a sprig Of green
on his coat would mutter a reversed
blessing on the man who perpetrated
the insult. All this sort Of thing is
past and gone. however. and the wear
ing of the green" is now the only out
ward sign of the day in Wheeling.

In Philadelphia the colored people are

A man or woman should
be as careful IN the selection
of his groceries as in his
meat, as they act together as
builders of bone and muscle.
Good groceries are sold
cheap only when opportuni-
ties have been offered the
dealer to buy cheap. The
opportunity was ours and
the benefit yours.
We've not been handling
a complete stock of groceries
until we saw the demand
for it. Our customers in
other lines knowing the
values they received for
their dollars, insist upon our
dividing the expense of their
living. Food stuffS are good
on division.
AS a breakfast dish, shred
ded goldfish is as convenient
for the getting ready as
muSh; as an entree at lunch
con it is uneXcelled. We
mention this because we sell
it. Hams and bacon, Eng
fish jams and marmalades.
Going back again to fish,
kippered herring and sar-
dimes are delicacieS when
fresh and carefully selected.
Ours are right in this respect
and so is the price. We
have also: California and
Edam cheese, Lucca oil, the
finest in the world for may
onnaise dressing. Fancy
crackers in tins for table use.
Olives and olive oil, Sultana
raisins, Congou and Oolong
tea, and we sell them at
prices which surprise US and
will you unless you are in
the habit of buying from
manufacturers in car load
lots.

BOARD OF HEALTH
IN USUAL SESSION.
Continued from First Page)

supplies for the experimental station
were approved.
Action on the charges brought up
against C. T. Akana, charging him with
malpractice, was deferred owing to the
absence of the parties.
A letter from George c. Potter, sec
rotary of the Foreign Office, containing
a requst for information from the
United States Charge d Affaires asking
information as to the rules under which
dentists from the United States are al
lowed to practice. The secretary of the
Board was ordered to supply the neces-
sery information.
DR.. Wood made statement regarding
certain matters connected with the Ka-
| Iihi experimental station. He spoke OF
| the necessity for a servant at the ka-
pioIani Home for Girls. The work had
| been done by Mr.. Treadway's son, but
| his duties had been increased so that he
/ could no longer attend to it. The son
! had been teaching school, but this was
| stopped. President Smith thought ii
was a matter that needed investigation
! the expenses over there were running
up to an extent that would soon eat
up the appropriation.
AS to persons affected with leprosy
! going over into the grounds at the Ka-
piolani Home for any reason, DR.. Wood
! thought it was particularly wrong fol-
a leper to be allowed to go there. While
Ieprosy is not hereditary, it is contagi-
Gus, and it is a fact that children OF
| leprous parents are more susceptible
to the disease from contagion than
! others.
On the subject of vaccination Dr.
Howard wanted explicit instructions as
| to how far he could go in the matter OF
| examination Of children. There was a
animation of the children. The doctor
described his method, and it was sug-
gested that under the circumstances it
might be we'll to have a lady physician
that the certificate he was asked to
| sign regarding the health of the chill
| dren made it necessary for him to give
| a closer examination of the bodies of
children than he was allowed to give
by the perents and teachers
President Smith thought it was get
ting off the track to talk about health
certificates when he subject of discus
sion was really vaccination. He be-
lieved from what he saw while away
that dependence could be placed in vac
cination and that the children should
all be treated
DR.. Wood suggested that as vaccina-
ton was not compulsory under the
law, the only way to reach the children
was to keep them out of school unless
they were vaccinated. There is no way
to compel adults to be vaccinated ex-
cept by making a law to that effect,
but he doubted the constitutionality of
such law.
At the request of President Smith
DR.. Wood gave an interesting descrip-
ton Of the enforcement of the Act to
Mitigate in Japan, and afterward told
of the manner of cremating bodies in
Japan. President Smith also described
the appliances used in cremating bodies
of persons dying from contagious dis
eases.

A Dangerous Tramp.

Friday afternoon Marshal Sam Bar
tholemew of Boscobel brought to the
Lancaster jail prisoner who gives
his name as Geo. Miller. The prison
Ell is charged with attempting e as
sault Ella Fivecoats. girl 8 years of
age, who resides with her parents a
short distance north OF the brewery in
the city of Boseobel On Thursday
afternoon Ella with her little 4-year
old brother was in the street a short
distance from the family residence.
Miller, who is stranger in Boscobel
and probably a tramp. came along
the road and took hold OF the little
girl The little by ran to the
house and informed his mother who
ran out to where Miller and the little
girl were. When she confronted the
man he denied that he was trying to
harm the girl and said that he gave
her few pennies (cents) and was
merely playing with her. The moth
err sent for the father. Tom Fivecoats,
who notified the authorities and Mil
Ter was arrested. He was brought be-
fore Justice A. +. Henderson. Il. ID.

w. G. Palmer appeared in behalf of
the prisoner. After hearing the testi-
mony he was bound over to circuit

REDEEMING THE PLAINS.
The Problem of irrigation in the
West Has Been Settled.

West Has Been Settled.
The two questions involved in the
irrigation of the plains uplands are
now practically answered in the
affirmative. Can water be lifted 200
feet at so low cost that it will paw
to irrigate with it from that depth?
and is there water enough below the
surface to irrigate any proper pro-
portion of the large area of the semi
arid uplands? Saying yes to both
these queries, it may also be said
that where water is even at greater
depths enough may be raised with
comparatively small expense to ir-
rigate so much land as in dry years
will be a material addition to the
means of subsistence of the farmers
family.
The writer has no doubt of there
being enough water in the tertiary
formations previously mentioned to
irrigate five per cent. of the land of
large parts of the western plains.
The mechanical devices for raising
the water are becoming better and
cheaper every year. There was
never before such activity among
the manufacturers of water-lifting
appliances as is the case at the pres
ent time. The volume of water and
the means to lift it being assured,
the redemption Of the plains from
the stigma of aridity is also certain.
In saying this it must not be I'M
derstood that irrigation of the up
lands means the irrigation of large
bodies of land in solid areas. 1t is
absolutely true that under present
conditions family can obtain
good living from three acres of irri-
gated land. II family can within
itself supply the labor for the irri-
cation Of ten acres, or even hire
some help, competence and compar-
alive wealth will be certain in a
comparatively short period The
owner Of 100 acres, irrigating from
three to eight acres, will always pro-
duce living and some surplus. The
rest Of his acres for pasture, for
timber, for some grain, will give ad-
ditional surplus in the good years,
and his family will always have the
means and leisure to give attention
to mental improvement and be GER
tain of increase of home comforts
and some Of the luxuries of life.
The position and volume of the
subterranean waters point to the
desirability of numerous pumping
plants scattered over the plains
not large ones with expensive ma
chinery. Wind is the cheapest mo-
tive power. 1t is abundant on the
plains. These facts all suggest that
small holdings, say the standard 100
acres as a maximum, worked by the
owner and his family, are those that
will most economically operate in
the redemption of the plains -Har-
per's Weekly.

rne New switch Board AN Right.

Ira ID. Hurlbut. the genial editor
of the Prairie du Chen Union. was in
Lancaster Friday between trains. Ira
is an expert electrician and was called
to examine the new switch board just
put in at the telephone central. From
some cause the new board was tongue
tied-at least it refused to talk. Ira
made few passes over it with his
Quill hand which broke the hypnotic
spell that was upon it. For the past
three days every person connected
with it BY wire had been pouring
choice language into it from all di-
rections and when it recovered speech
and broke loose there was trouble in
the air. Poor Joe Smith was COM
pletely FRUSTRATED with the awful talk
fired at him by the central machine.
Joe is extremely retiring in DISPOSE
ton: is no cactus. but rather of the
blush-rose variety-can't talk to a
lady 20 miles away without putting a
handkerchief to his face. Imagine
the effect Of such sentences as: "Hello,
there. You bald-headed old galootl
You long-haired Nebraska hayseed
You redheaded downeast goldbug!
You lanterned-jawed, pigeontoed
popocrat!-why don't you connect me
with forty -four?'

Let There be Light.

Frank B. Dorau, who fills Henry
Knoble's place at the Lancaster marble
yards, was called to Galena by tele-
gram on Thursday. Mr.. Doran is a
member of the city council OF Galena
and he was called to help break a
deadlock. The question was on put
ting in electric arc lights. BY the
vote of MIR. Doran it was decided to
light Galena streets with 43 arc lamps
of 1000 candle power each at a cost of
$2,265 a year for five years. Since
Frank came to lancaster ne has be-
come more than ever seized with a
desire for healthy advancement.

Here is an interesting experiment
that is likely to start an argument
among your bicycle acquaintance in
moment: Place either pedal of
your bicycle at the farthest point
downward, or point nearest to the
ground and tie a string to the pedal.
Now have some one balance your
wheel, but not retard its rolling mo-
ton. Ask your friend which way the
bicycle will move if you viii pail
backward on the string, and almost
invariably he will say forward, but
it does not; it moves backward.
Again, in the rear wheel tie the string
to a spoke that is nearest the ground
and ask which way the bicycle will
move If the string is pulled backward.
He probably will be caught again.
Who can explain this?
