Cherryvale, Dec. 27.-Apparently there is

Webb City, Joplin and Pittsburg are fire.
quently mentioned in connection with this
project, which is said to be under the di-
rection Of an Ohio syndicate.
Some time ago the Cherryvale gas plant.
which was owned and operated by the
city, passed into the hands of this syndi-
cate, and later franchise from the city
of OsWego was obtained. Offers are now
being made to Joplin, Galena and Webb
City, the lead and zinc district towns.
An exclusive franchise is not asked for
from any city, but they desire a twenty
year term as the extent of their privi-
lege- If granted the franchise the COM
pany would do the street lighting free OF
charge, but the city must furnish the
lamp posts. The churches would also
come in for free service, and the city jail
would come under the same free service
AS to the rates the company proposed
to charge $1.5O per month for each cook
stove, but for heating stoves 81 per month
will be the minimum, with extra charge
for larger stoves, according to the size
of the mixer"
Gas jets in residences will be charged
for at the rate of 10 cents per month for
each jet and store buildings will be
charged for at the rate of 20 cents for the
same service. If the consumers prefer to
have meter service the price will be 80
cents per 1000 cubic feet.

DUCHESS OF GORDON.

years, and besides having to its credit a
long list of gallant deeds and great VIC
tories has a most romantic story con-
nected with its origin.
1t was in 1894 that the beautiful
Duchess of Gordon resolved to raise a
regiment of her clansmen by novel and
unusual method. Dressed in tartan and
feathered bonnet, she went through the
highlands calling for volunteers. To
every man who responded she gave the
privilege of taking the queen s shilling,
which is given every recruit, from be-
tween her lips with his own. This in
ducement the gallant Gordons could not
Withstand, and within four weeks she
had enrolled 500 men, each one of whom
could boast that he had kissed the love-
y duchess.
But even more romantic was the his
tory of this remarkable woman. She
was born at Monreith, Wigtown, and
was the daughter of a country laird
named Maxwell, rich in ancestors but
poor in purse. Shortly after her birth,
in 1850, her mother and father separat-
ed, the latter settling down in poor
lodgings in Edinburgh. There her life
was far from being refined one, and
tradition has it that JEANNE Maxwell
was wont to gallop up and down High
street astride a pig, to the great delight
of her neighbors.
But in 1867 her fortunes changed
Her sister married a rich lawyer, and
with this advantage JEANNE ensnared
in her matrimonial net the Duke of Cor
don, the greatest peer in Scotland and
chief of the noble Gordon clan. The
duchess had five daughters, and such
good marriages did she contrive for all
of them that she won the title of
Matchmaking Jeannie. - of which she
was even prouder than of her own coro-

pointed D. A Bradley receiver, and
after q thorough examination of the at
fairs since taking charge, he states that
for the past five years the bank has not
been in a solvent condition.
The assets of the bank when the
doors were closed were given at $37 600,
and resources a little over $24, 000 COM
prising notes and oyerdrafts from Mr..
Matthews and his Wife to the amount
of over $4,000, Matthews wife's indi-

each colonist viii be given a credit of
$3.50, with which he can buy provisions,
seed and other necessaries until he can
secure returns from the fertile soil. Aft
er he has put in a few months work on
his land it is expected that the colonist
will become not only self supporting,
but that he will be able to begin max
ing payments that are to wipe out his
indebtedness to the Salvation Army and
go toward paying for his home Each
man is allotted ten acres of land under
irrigation, house and the necessary
farming utensils
The raising of sugar beets is to be
made the chief industry of the colony,
and the Salvationists plan that if each
colonist puts in i've acres of sugar beets
the first season he will have $3.50 by
the following October. This will leave
him land enough to raise all the vegeta-
bles and poultry that his family may re-
quire. The colonists are bound by few
restrictions or obligations. There is to
be a Salvation Army store for their con-
venience, but they are not bound to pat
ronize it.

BABY FITZ BAPTISED.
Christening Was Conducted by Rev
Frank Dewitt Talmage.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Christmas brought
joy to the heart of Bob F'itzsimmous.
champion prize fighter. He looked
prouder and happier than when he
landed that far famed blow on Mr.
Corbett's solar plexus at Carson City
some time ago.
No wonder he was in good spirits-his
plump little baby boy, weeks old,
was christened early in the evening.
Martin Carson Fitzsimmons is the
name of the yOungster.
Fitz, Jr., laughed and chirruped as if
he realized that the gladstone holiday
had particular significance for his tall
papa and pretty mama, Mrs. Rose
F'itzsimmons. He bounded up and down
in her arms as she held him in the
family apartments at the Auditorium
and smiled a cute, baby-like smile as
Rev. Frank De Witt Ta1mage sprinkIed
the drops of water on the child's fore
head.
Little Fitz gets his first name from
Martin Julian, his fathers manager.
His middle name commentaries the
notable victory his sire earned at Car
son City. Fitz, ST., says this bunch of
names-Martin, Carson and Fitzsim-
mons-is bound to take the little one
through the world and make a hero of
him.
Martin Julian is the baby's godfather
He looked cOntentedly on the boy as
he was getting his new name. Then he
gave it a silver handled rattle and a
teething ring for Christmas presents.

willing to do it, by all means let them

strengthen the hands of the local and
general officials in their good work,
then it is right to retain and encourage
it; and if keeping the title of all prop

An examination of General Brecken-
ridges report disclOses that the cost of
maintenance per capita of the volunteer
homes is far less than at the home in
the District of Columbia, under the
control of a commission composed of
regular army officers. For the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1897 the average
cost per capita in the volunteer homes
was only $12115, as against s12608 the
previous year, while the home in the
District Of Columbia cost per capita
for the last fiscal year $171.71, against
$1SS.01 the previous year.
