4 WORD TO THE WISE, ETC.

The folio wing from the columns of
the Milwaukee Journal is recommend
ed for the earnest consideration of
every loyal citizen and property own
er of Superior:
Whenever you see a beautiful vii
lage or city, you can be sure that it is
almost wholly due to the voluntary
effort of individuals or organizations.
Private effort and expenditure has
much more to do with it than public
action, which is usually out one of
the results of individual work. A bare
untrimmed town is almost repulsive.
1t chills the stranger and dulls the
senses of the resident. It looksoas
though living were a scrap with ma
ture in which nature suffered the
damage. But let one man start to
adorn his place and the influence
spreads till at last united and syste
matte work is done. Then nature and
living go hand in hand, friends for
ever. If every man plants trees,
makes his little lawn and plants flow
ers, the town will be glorified.
This is not waste; it is a profitable
investment. Bare old barns do not
add to the desirability and value Of
property. Even a cheap and modest
home, place devoted to business ex-
clusivelv, shop or station, may be
made pleasant and desirable to the
eye The traveller is struck by the
care taken of the railway stations in
many parts of the east. They have
their lawns and flowers. Trellises
unseemly views and through well
chosen openings give delightful sur
prises. Entertainments are sodded
not alone for their beauty but to the
profit of the company. Life is pleas
anter for all this. A little effort on
the part of the people would clothe
every bare spot in the city, every
waste corner and nook, with beau
ty to the eye and call nature in to
help preserve pure air and health for
the citizens.
It is no excuse that the next gener-
alton must have something to do;
every generation has its own work,
but we have our own. We must do
these things for ourselves, and if any
residuary benefit goes over to- the
next generation, we have still only
done before US. We want the best
we can have just the same. What
odds does it make to us that the next
generation will enjoy Lake park, SO
long as we enjoy it? Make your home
beautiful for yourself. Never mind

The New York San calls attention
to the fact that out of Bryan's 175
elector al votes, 112 came from the
eleven states which composed the

II from Missouri in other words, it
was not the five silver states, nor
Populist Kansas, nor the smaller COM
monwealths of South Dakota, Wash

votes in the three) that gave Bryan
his strong showing, but the eleven old

LEGISLATURE NOTES.

The noxious animals will no doubt
most fittingly celebrate, during the
coming season, the repeal Of the
bounties on their hides.
The vote Thursday in favor of the
high license tendency was exactly
what it was two years ago-namely
"a Vermont seems to be holding its
own on the liquor question, in spite
of certain claims to the contrary
The Springfield Republican protests
against indicting all the women be-
cause all the states where the women
voted went for Bryan. The protest
seems to be well taken, but the fact
remains fixed and immutable.
House bill bill No. IS, calling for the
ventilation Of school-houses, has been
passed. But that clause Of the bill
which, by little slip in punctuation,
provided for the ventilation also of
state and local boards Of health did
not count before the committee.
The emphatic rap that was given to
the measure intended to repeal all the
laws providing safeguards tubercu-
and the one man who voted for the
bill must have had ever since last
week distressed feeling of lonesome
ness. This broom that was meant to
sweep SO clean was badly disinte-
grated before the house got through
with it.
1t has been stated with much un-
animity of opinion that one of the
ablest arguments Of recent years be-
fore a legislative committee, was that
of Hon. Almon A. Strout of Portland,
solicitor of the Grand Trunk Railway
Company, on the bill to compel that
road to stop all trains at Norton's
Mills. Certainly those who had the
good fortune to hear tbs remarks of
the gentleman agree that it was a
mastery effort. 1t was effective, too,
as the unanimous report of the COM
mittee demonstrated. sI
1t was splendid audience, eompos-
ed largely Of ladies, that the orators
for and against the bill granting mum
icipal suffrage to women faced in
Representatives Hall last week. Ev-
cry available foot of seating and
standing room in gallery. lobby and
on the floor was occupied, and ap-
plause, that the speakers gavel was
powerless to suppress, frequently
swept over the house. Speaker Lord
called Mr.. Powers of Morrisville to
the chair, and, from the floor Of the
House, made an eloquent plea for the
passage of the bill to it's third read
ing. But neither the impassioned
eloouence Of Mr.. Lord and Col. Has
kins, nor the calm dispassionate rea-
soning of Col. Bates of ST. Johnsbury
and Mr. Bunker of Peacham, could
overcome the clinching arguments
against the measure presented by Mr..
Darling of Bennington, Mr.. Palmer of
Waterbury and Mr.. Smith of Burling-
ton, and the bill was killed by nearly
two to one. l41l Es

At last the great and good work
done by the war correspondents of
the leading newspapers during the
civil war, has been fttingly recogniz-
ed, by the erection, and dedication
last month, of monument at Gap
land, Md, in Champions gap on the
famous '1South Mountain" near the
residence of the we'll known war cor
respondent, George Alfred Towns
end, who is known in every country
where the English language is read or
spoken, as "Gath.'' The monument
is in the shape Of a feudal gateway,
with tower and peer, and resembles
one of the gates of the Alhambra. The
square of the structure is forty feet
high, and of the same width, while
the tower is ten feet higher, and is
surmounted by flagstaff twenty one
feet in height. The structure is hand
some in the extreme and finely deco
rated. The names of many of the
best known correspondents, with
dates of battles and other appropriate
inscriptions are engraved upon the
monument. The war correspondents
were heroic body of men, and this
is fitting testimonial to the bravery
which they exhibited every day of
their service.

WONDER OF AGE.
Successful X-Ray Work Done
by Colby Professors.
The Subject Was J. Fields Murry,
Well Known WaterviIIe Caterer.
Bullet Removed From Mr.. Murry's Ankle
Without the Least Trouble.

Waterville, July S.-(SpeciaD. The
N-rays have secured their first i'm
portant surgical victory in Maine in this
city, today. when by means of a photo
graph taken at Bowtoin college, a bull
let which had been lnbedded in a
mans ankle for two years was located,
and by the application of the knife re-
moved.
Five vars ago, j. Fields Murry acct
dentally received a wound in the right
ankle from a revolver which he was
handling. He felt SO about it that he
did not want it known that he had
been careless with a gun that he told
his friends that he had sprained his
ankle. The attending physician, as
duty bound. backed up the story. So
Murry's friends have believed all along
when they have seen him limping
along that the limp was due to that
bad slrain of two years ago. AT the
time of the accident, the surgeon, DR..
M. S. Goodrich, probed in vain for the
bullet. 1t had become imbedded in the
bone apparently, and it was believed
that it would not trouble hurry a
great deal.
When the now famous X-rays began

tracer was heard as it penetrated the
tieshy sack which covered the bullet
and at once the dark pieces of tissue
began to show in the wound. Finally
the tracer got under the lead and il
was brought to view and handed to the
Journal man for examination. The
bullet was of the 50 calibre size, the
point was badly battered by contact
With the bone. 1t was found about
two inches below where it entered the
leg. DR.. Bryant, who had postponed
his vacation a week to be present, and
Dr.. Goodrich, who had been anxious
to try the experiment We're immensely
pleased at the successful issue.
Mr.. hurry, in conversation with the
Journal said he had supposed he would
have to lug that bullet around the rest
of his life, and at first had been some
what Skeptical about the result of the
work of the Xrays. but Dir. Goodrich
had insisted upon trying the expert
ment, and if it would be of any in
terest to surgery in the way of dem
cnstrating what the X-rays would do,
he was glad the operation had been
performed. The operation was Ger
tainly interesting. ard Professors Rob
inson and Hutchins and DR.. Goodrich
as we'll, have scored a surgical success.
