$500 is for interest on railroad bonds,
$500 is for constructing sewers, $500 for
the road and bridge work, $3.50 for one
half the interest on water bonds. The

That
Wall Paper Sale
At HITCHCOCk'S

Drug Store is not simply
closing out of a few odd
lots.
The Odd Lots are there,
and can be had for a trifle,
but the substantial value
of the sale to Wall Paper
Buyers, consists in the
variety of attractive pat
terms in complete combina-
tons, every piece offered
at important reduction in
price.
This sale will be worth
the most to those who take
advantage of it the earliest.

The largest load of wheat ever hauled
into this city on one wagon was hauled
in by four horses from the farm of

wheat consisted of 143 bushels. Mr.
Warner stated that the four horses
would haul in $50 bushels in one wagon
yesterday afternoon.
High water mark in the way of
amusement was reached by the Schu-
bert Symphony Club at their concert
last Monday evening. The entertain
ment as whole is likely to be remem-
bered as standard for comparison for
more than one amusement season. The
ladies' quartette not only rendered their
harmonies perfectly, but were generous
in responding to every encore. The
same might be said OF the instrumental
numbers on the programme. The club
is a company of genuine artists, and
their manager is a master gifted with
unusual good taste and judgment in ar
ranging an entertainment at once re-
fined and within the comprehension of
ordinary people. While all the COM
pany were applauded, little Master
Tommy came in for an extra share of
enthusiasm over his recitations and his
bird-like whistling. The attendance
was worthy of the performance, the
Epworth League realizing upwards of
twenty dollars as their share Of the pro-
ceeds.
Wheat continues to fiuctuate more or
less, with an upward tendency. Dur
ing the past two weeks it has jumped
from As to "a cents, reaching the latter
notch about four o'clock last Monday
afternoon. The Minneapolis Journal
records the fact that even the bulls at
the Chamber of Commerce in that city
were surprised by an advance of q
cents on December wheat during Mon
day. 1t says that the Chicago wheat
market was very bullish. In MIME
apolis the market had opened half
cent lower than Saturdays close and
morning break lost 4c more. This
weakness gave apparent support to the
reaction theory, and some of the scalp
ers were just ready to sell ''for turn,n
when the boom struck the market and
in six minutes cent advance had been
realized. This stirred the market up
good deal and it came as the result of
nearly million decrease in the visible
supply, when that had been predicted
for an increase. The decrease made
bull sentiment fast. The unlooked-for
visible decrease was the keynote for the
day. The first advance of cent was
followed by some reaction and quiet
market that lasted an hour, when in
five minutes second cent was added
to the upturn. This strength held well
to the close, and left closing sentiment
strong, with those on the outside ugly
because they are out, and those on the
inside uncertain what course to pursue.
In the meantime roc is predicted for
December wheat in this market and 75c
for Chicago. The question of the hour
is will the prediction hold.

New Jerseys Plurality 1885.

The completed official canvass of last
Tuesdays vote in this State places the
plurality for sound money at 1885.
The total vote was: Mckinley, 221, 729;
Brs an, 1874, 1874; Palmer, 6. 1926; lowering,
5,541. The Socialistic- Labor vote about
equals the vote cast for Palmer. As the
State gave Cleveland plurality of IA. 974

ing over of 102,076 votes in four years.
The total vote then was 1877 ,357, and this
year it was 374, 374, an increase of SO. 917.
Ia face Of this increase the falling off in
the Prohibition vote is most remarkable,
In 1892 that party polled 8,131 votes for
its candidate, but this year only 5,541.
The falling off occurred in every county
in the State. The National Democracy
polled more votes than the Prohibition
candidates., and is therefore the third
party. So far as the State law recognizes
them, there are only two parties in the
State. The vote cast to entitle party to
recognition to nominate by convention
must be 2 per cent. of the total vote cast.
Two per cent. would be 1856. Only the
Republican and Democratic nominees
polled more than this. The Prohibition
lists and National Democrats must file
petitions to have their candidates names
printed on official ballots. In some OF
the counties the National Democrats will
be able to nominate county officers by
convention. The four sma Her parties
polled combined vote of less than s per
cent of the total vote cast.

1.-THE fees of the successful concert
singer are large; she is constantly in
demand; her repertory is of songs, not
of entire roles, and is more easily ac-
quired; her expenses are limited to the
cost of few evening gowns, in the
place of scores of costumes. For the
opera singer there is plenty Of hard
work, but for that there is the compen-
sation Of being associated in many cases
with the famous artists Of the world,
whom to know is liberal education. -

GOOD Nature and Justice.

Foreigners are frequently impressed
with the extreme good nature Of our
people in trying circumstances and the
patience with which they endure hard
ships and discomforts which spring
from thoughtlessness and injustice.
Now, patience and good nature are ex-
cellent qualities, and the field for their
exercise is a wide one. The grumbling
disposition, which fruitlessly complains
of and magnifies each passing annoy
snce. disquieting and irritating every
one in the vicinity, is worthy Of sincere
reprobation. At the same time there
are limits beyond which an easy good
nature ceases to be virtue. We plume
ourselves upon it and compare its sooth-
ing effects with the influence stirred up
by an opposite course, to the entire ad-
vantage Of the former. And in this we
are correct just as long as it does not
pander to injustice.
To smile indulgently at a wrong that
calls for correction, to bear with equa-
nimity what ought never to be borne at
all, to submit patiently to evils that
spring from unfairness and to influence
others to do the same plainly tend to
foster the continuance Of wrongdoing
and to make those engaged in it self
satisfied and secure. Patient endurance,
so estimable under certain circum-
stances. may under others be an &C.
tual injury to society. From the resist
ance to an injurious fashion or custom
up to the correction of grave abuses, the
earnest seeker after justice is true
philanthropist and demands the esteem
and cooperation Of his fellow men,

siasm she aroused Mr.. Hall entertain

asia Diva Jenny Lind is embodying
i. There is the gradual growth of Sos
L,nuto, then rhythmic undulating, now
high notes, as triumphs of pure express
sion, and not of merely physical marvel,
and finally birdlike ecstasy of trills. Be-
fore her is an abyss of hush, into which
she ponrs that voice. the very soul of
song. She ceases, and timidly-not
proudly-bows and is retiring when the
audience, not content with making the
usual American demand for an encore,
arises ell masse, and repeats with four
fold energy and spirit the almost frantic
demonstration with which it greeted
Jenny Lind upon her entrance. The au-
dience is literally wild. Never has a
singer SO stirred her listeners before. The
thunderous applause keeps up for many
minutes, until the audience seems ex-
hausted.

The political wiseacres are already
industriously at work constructing q
Cabinet for President-elect Mckinley, but
the man of Canton has given no indiea-
ton of whom he will invite to accept to
the government portfolios. The sugges.
tion is made by some that President
Mckinley ought to recognize the support
directly and indirectly given him by the
sound money Democrats and invite one
of their number to Cabinet position.
On first thought this might seam the
proper thing to do, and President Cleve-
land furnished q precedent for such a
course, in his appointment of Judge
Gresham as Secretary of State, in recog.
milton of the aid the Liberal Republicans
contributed toward his election in 1892
The experiment, however, cannot be
considered very gratifying success. at

1t is asserted that repeated expert.
ments have proved, in the transmission
of power. that ropes and belts, when
well arranged, absorb almost the same
amount of power. Some French trials in
this line, as reported III Engineering
Mechanics, were made, it appears, with
a 200 horsepower engine, fitted with
rope and belt fywheels lax feet in di-
ameter. The steam engine had a fiy-
wheel for the belt and one for the ropes.
The dynamo was driven direct off the
fywheel, without counter shaft, and
was provided with two pulleys, one for
the belt and one for the ropes. The dy-
namo was driven direct off the fywheel,
being mounted on adjusting screws, SO
that the tension of the belt or ropes
could be regulated at will. A cotton
belt, leather belt, and a homogeneous
leather belt and ropes were of standard
quality. Experiments of a comparative
nature were made alternately with the
ropes and belts, several tests each day,
the results being as above indicated.
