hop-skip- -and-jump with any Of your younger
friends? in fact. do you want to have your
body strong and active? Then wear DR..
Sanders Electric Belt for ton days. It has
wonderful power to Timber up the old muscles
and charge them with new lNe-tho energy
Of youth. So thinks old John FalInan, who
is known 10 everybody on Bernal Heights as
almost lifelong cripple from rheumatism.

been able to trd in Is years to relieve him
of Rheumatism. It gives him relief within two
hours after he puts it on. Under date Of April

his Sanden Belt has proven invaluable to him.
and that several Of his friends who have tried
1t have found equally good results.

Mabel Clifton and Gladys Prince, two
Alameda street damsels, appeared in
the police court yesterday afternoon for
trial upon a charge of disturbing the
peace on the afternoon of April "a in the
Tenderloin district. The Prince girl got
drunk, and having grudge against the
Clifton woman sailed forth armed with
a gun and fired one shot through the
window of the latter's crib. Then the
two girls clinched in the room and fought
it out tooth and nail.
Officer Collins had hard time sepa-

ing Congress he had confined himself to
the law; but he was the leading Whie of
his state, and for many years his counsel
was sought and followed on Important
| occasions. He WAS the great antagonist
OF Stephen A. Douglas, then perhaps the
greatest power in the Democratic party.
His nomination for the Presidency was
due to no theatrical outburst OF oratory
before frenzied convention; but rather
to q cool and deep seated conviction that
he was the man for tho duty. Mr.. Frank
! certainly COULD not have been serious if
he meant to suggest a comparison be-
tween MIR. Lincoln and Mr.. Bryan. There
| Is no more comparison between Mr. Ham
lin and Mr.. Sewall. Mr. Sewall's politi-
cal prominence in Maine really began
with his craftsmanship of the Plum Trust
and it seemed ended only the other day
w1sh the marked disfavor OF the members
OF his own party in his own Congressional
district and state. Hannibal Hamlin,
even as early as 1860, had heen a figure in
national politics for eighteen years,
and in state Epolitios for quarter of a
|
Senator for nearly twelve years. But
even more th IN that, he had given a sig
nal and convincing proof of his leader
| ship in this state. In 1856 he was a Sen.
ator, having been elected Democrat
Maine was a Democratic state. But Mr..
Hamlin was not "a pro-slayery Democrat,
and he saw that the trend of events had
carried the Democratic party to posit-
Ion here he could no longer keep in
fellowship with it. He then
took a step such as only a
strong and masterful leader takes.
He resigned his seat in the eSenate, came
to Maine, and ran for the Governorship
as Republican. He led revolution
in the ancient Democracy of Maine, and
made the Republican triumph SO perma
nent that the vicissitudes of forty years
have not shaken it, There is nothing in
Mr.. s5ewalls career to suggest Hannibal
Hamlln even remotely.
The ticket of Bryan and Sewall is
original, unique and fated.

Europe in Dakota.
(Harper's Wcekly.)

Away out near the border line of the
Missouri and 70 from Fort Yates, lies q
stretch of rolling prairie land, where lives
u colony Of peasants the most remarkable
In certain ways, to be found in this
co untry. They are Sc lf-is0lated from the
rest of the world, save as they COMMUNE
cate through he medium of their mark
citing place, the little town of Eureka
They have established small section of
Europe in the New World, and they are
very, very slow to merge it into the type
and texture Of the newer civilization.
Low rooted and broad are the houses of
these peasants, veritable homes of earth.
They are not the SOD shanties of the
western boomer by any means, for these
foreigners have war of builf ing for the
future They construct their homes in
curious fashion, and build them SO SUBJ
stantially they will last half century if
| neoessary-last until greater prosperity
and American influences shall call for
houses Of wool or stone. When the farm
or has decided upon the location Of his
house, he ploughs up the heavy sod in the
swale at the foot OF one of the low Cot
ioau Hills and draw it to mis- house in
long strips. This sod is the roof for bis
house. He has been making bricks for
days, huge clay and straw bricks, per-
haps IL inches thick by IS inches long.
The clay sulsoil affords material for
brick that will last fer years. After the
bricks are sun dried they are laid up for
his walls. the joints being properly
broken. Tho inIerstites between the
bricks are filed in with clay in "a soft
mass, making the wall solid and about
two feet in thickness. The color of one
OF these walls as you see it on the prairie
Is dark soft gray, or when. us i'll some
| cases, it is plastered upon the outside, it
is lighter in color. The walls arc proba-
bly, net moro than seven feet high. From
them coarse boards are built to ridge
pole in the centre to form u foundation
for the sod roof. The strips aIe then laid
npon the roof boards. still bearing their
greasy fuize, ana the places between the
strips are filled i'll with gravel and clay
in "a cOarso atucoO, ntaEing the roof rain

These peasants are not only unique be-
| cause t3iey have brought into America q
small section of Europe, maintaining
their language and customs intact, but
they have u claim TO Il uniqueness OF On
other kind, in that they haul to market
in the town of Eureka more grain than
is marketed in any other primary wheat
market in the world. Dining the period

Chemnitz. Saxony, two years ago ban
ished horses from her street cars and
substituted the trolly. In a report to
the state department, Consul &c.
Monaghan says one Of the principal novel
ties of the adopted system is that no
poles are used. The method of stringing
wires is by means of ornamental rosettes
fastened mot the woodwork or walls of
houses, having projecting hooks to which
the wires are attached. These hooks are
firmly fastened and are tested with seven
times the weight they will be called upon
to bear. Owners OF houses, without OK
ception, preferred TO allow the use Of
their houses free rather than have posts
on the sidewalk. !. The streets through
which the cars wind their way are wider
than Washington street. Boston, or West
minister street, Providence. The railway
tracks, in conformity to the law, are
level with the pavement, and accidents
to vehicles of any kind are rare. The
guage is narrower than in America, but
the cars keep the track and run IS rapid
ly and smoothly as in the United States
In the heart of the city they run 220
yards per minute, and in the suburbs $50
yards per minute.
The increase of trafficssince the intro
duction of electricity, in LCbemnitz has
been 60 per cent The cars have no con-
ductoIs. The motnrman is the person on
board who represents the company. BY
doing away with conductors the COM
pany saves $4,000 marks annually. The
fare is only 10 pennies. or trife less
than 3 1-2 cents, ON all routes, including
transfers. Should 100, coo persons evade
payment in IL months, the loss would be
only 10, 900 marks. 1t would take 450, eco
ovasions in fare to Offset the company's
savings by dispensing with conductors
salaries. Among people who pay for
food and drink in restaurants, saloons
and gardens on their honor alone, it is
unlikely tho company loses much. Gull
prits in this regard when detected are
punished by having their names adver-
tised in the newspapers as a warning to
others. Fare-boxes ara attached to both
ends of the car. SO there is no such ex-
cuse offered as difficulty in getting for
ward. -

The nomination of Mr.. Arthur Sewall
for the Vics-Presidency was so strange
and unexpected performa nee, both to
Democrats and Republicans, that varied
emotions and comments nave been ex-
cited. We believe the feeling is general
that the nomination in no wise threatens
q Republican and sound money victory
in this state next September. But while
Mr.. Sewall will not got many Republican
votes, he will personally have the good
will Of many mon Irrespective OF party.
The chieftainship Of the Plum Trust
and his wandering off after Populistic
vagaries, are harmless escapades in view
OF the fact that he seems sure not to be
elected. On the other side it is to be re-
menlbered that no is an eminent bust
ness man, belonging to family whose
name is associated with Maine enterprise
for many years, and Of an impressive
personal presence which will undou bted-
1y shine TO the credit Of the Bryan and
Sewall ticket until the people shall have
no further use for it after next Novem-
Der. A good word is due any son OF
Maine who goes forth to battle for honor.
Mr. Sewall has done this, and has
brought back the prize. We congratulate
him, and hope it will I'LL his eoul with
satisfaction. But let him not indulge
IN auy rainbow chasing. Mr.. sewall
has too many Democratic fees, and Re-
puDlloans are too much in earnest this
year TO allow even the smallest chance
that hescan carry Maine.
