INDEPENDENCE.
Prospective Bond Election for Sewers
and a City Hall ArOusinE
Considerable Interest.

Members of the council will wrestle with
the problem of fixing a date for a bond
election. The ordinance necessary 10 foist
another election on the city has been draft
ed, and the place left blank for the date of
the election. Advocates of bonding the
city bold that a short campaign will be
disastrous to the interests involved, and
will urge the council TO give plenty of time
for discussing the question. The campaign
a year ago was faulty, owing to the limited
time, many approach a bond issue with
considerable caution.
The school board has agreed to withdraw
it's request for more bonds. and to all out
ward appearances the sewerage and city
hall advocates have the right-of-way.
Many of the sewerage advocates will press
upon the council the Importance of time
sufficient TO conduct campaign of educa-
tion. No plans or specifications have been
drawn up for a possible route of a main
sewer to the river except the plans fa-
vcred a year ago. The chief objection
raised at that time was due to the fact
that there were portions OF the city which
were not bersfited, by reason of lack of
water facilities. This same objection will
be raised again unless some more suitable
plan is submitted.

scene that Mr.. Whitesde has both repose
and subtlety. In the stoical determination
of this scene he was at his best.
Miss Lucia Moore is an actress of pleas
ing personality, possessed of a sweet voice,
and will doubtless b. found very effective
in some other roles. but her Por-ia will not
do. 1t lacks the dignity and the repose
that are the first essentials of this wln-
anly character. She played the casket
scene very well, and several others ac-
Ceptably but she wholly missed the eXalt-
ed significance of the trial. and at one
moment almost ruined the scene by her rid
ic1rious by-pbay with the law book Moth
ing hess than complete misconception of
the very subtle comedy here intended
could have accounted for such an undig-
nifiel proceeding.
That excellent actor. Mr.. Charles D
Herman. gives to BaSSanio a manlineSs
THAT this character rarely enjoys at the
hands of the actor, although his long eX-
perience in the heroic drama has brought
him A somewhat heavy style. For instance
his discourse on the Caskets instead Of be
ing cOntempiativa was frequently deClan-
atOry. The remainder OF the support with
one or two exceptions. was good.

SOME HARMONY.

The kind of harmony that exists among the supporters of the Boy Ora tor is indicated by some remarks by lgnatius Donnelly. who says in his pa- per: "We have done. We shall SUD- port MT. Bryan and the Populist State ticket until the end of the campaign and we shall then withdraw from pub lie life forever. We are tired of work ing for those who would destroy us." In speaking of Mn Bryan's nomination he says there were so many men at St. Louis who were candidates for office and hoped for Democratic Inducements in their respective districts that they swept the convention on to Bryan. He says that Bryan is talking too much and is standing over powder nlaga- zine.
 Powder magazine" is good. But how can Populist talk too much and so disgust another Populist?

wood alcohol factories, the spirit being produced by dry distillatipn simply. The ordinary factory Is built with from six to fourteen pairs of cast iron or steel retorts of from one to one and a half cords capacity to tho pair, and the wood, after being herrnetically seal ed in the retort, Is charred by baking process, the fumes of which are con- densed and preeipitated by lime and other chemicals. This pyrogenous fluid is drawn off and redistilled and ship ped to refineps for the final treatment, after which 1t is ready for the market Only hard wood of the best quality is supposed to be used-the better the quality of wood the purer the quality of the liquor.

waRmER ON TIE COAST.

The inhabitants of this favored re- zion who lived through yesterday and last night will be pleased to read what the weather man says about to-day. Warmer on the coast" is his cheering prediction. It will be interesting to see just what warmer on the coast" means. There was an inelegant suffi- ciency of warmth on the coast yester- day. If there is going to be more warmth on the coast to-day there will be some fun. But the fun will be most ly for the fieas on the coast which seem to hop more gleefully as it is warmer. The people on the coast will not feel inclined to hop any more gleefully than they did yesterday, and gleeful hop ping was not very general among them. Perhaps, however, if it Is warm enough on the coast they will hop in the way chestnuts do when being roasted, or sausages do when being fried.
 Warmer on the coast! We'll, We'll! Can't the coast be moved?
