In case the bill becomes law Re-
preventative Larson has agreed to ask
for the appointment of W. P. Tenney,
the pioneer barber of this city, as one
of the members of the examining
board. Mr.. Tenney's long service will
commend him to the Governor for the
place.
Such swarm of place seekers has
never been seen before at gathering
of the solons. It is estimated that
there we're on the average of four ap-
plicants for every position down to
the last clerk. Senator Wyman stated
Friday that the Senate had made one
more place than made by any previous
Senate, and then there we're about
twenty resolutions calling for appoint
ments indefinitely postponed. It was
the same way in the house. Mr.. Ken
ney of this county is certainly ortun-
ate over not having any opposition for
the position of door-keeper, which be
holds to the satisfaction of the Sen
ators. He is stationed at the main
entrance.

Want Spring Elections.
Over in Minneapolis the people are
growing tired Of voting for every Office
ever heard of at one and the same cleo
ton, and Senator Wyman has intro
duced bill for spring elections in the
cities. It is aimed primarily at Mime
apolis, but incidentally provides for
municipal elections all over the state
on the same day in the spring. Chronic
voters who travel about SO as to be
able to share in the benefits some people
derive from elections, will have fewer
opportunities for their peculiar line Of
work if this bill becomes law.
County Local Option.
Mr.. Gilbertson has introduced q bill
providing for county local option and
Mr.. Stockwel is sponsor for one abol-
lshing capital punishment. A bill for
the establishing of travelling public
libraries, a system that has been in
vogue In New York and other states
with considerable success and profit,
has been brought into the house by Mr..
Staples. The bill for the protection Of
freedom of markets for food products
and to prevent the restraint of trade,
which comes up regularly in some form
or other, sometimes passing and at
other times amending the existing law,
was introduced in the house this week
by Mr.. Feig. A somewhat similar bill
was introduced on the same day by Mr..
Johns.
Up to and including Monday Of this
week, 81 bills have been introduced in

Powdered Coal as Fuel.

For some years past there have been
experiments with the coal dust and
pulverized coal of various degrees of
tineness, with view to ascertaining
how much saving of fuel there is in
using coal in this fine state. 1t has
been demonstrated that with suitable
feeding machinery the saving may
amount to over forty-ive per cent.
above the coal fed on ordinary fire
bars. This point is reached in a
cupola furnace of the most approved
construction. There are several
methods of burning coal dust. One
is the use of feeding apparatus con-
sisting of rotary brushes that throw
the dust into the tire-box in con-
tinuous shower. This, of course,
renders the fuel supply Independent
of dampness or the possibility of
clogging up. Another plan is to
drive the dust into the furnace by
powerful currents of air. 1t seems to
matter but little how the dust is fed.
There is manifest economy i'll its
use, and as soon as the proper dust
feeding machinery is perfected the
fuel problem will be much less diff
cult to struggle with.

A remarkable case of bone grating
is reported from Buffalo, N. Y, where
+. H. Moir, foreman in the carbide
works at Niagara Falls, was treated
for badly crushed shin bone. He
was taken to the hospital in Buffalo on

inserted in Moir's leg tive-inch
length of live sleeps bone, replacing
the crushed human bone in length,
but not in width. The leg was placed
in u plaster cast. The progress of the
grating was examined by the X rays

suit: "The sleeps bone shows vitality
at each end. The human bone has
developed the sleeps bone, and the
new growth is extending toward the
centre. Already the sleeps bone is

Sultan Abdul Hamid smokes like

most constant companion, and one in
which he finds much consolation.
When any stranger visits the Sultan
he invites him to seat beside him on
the sofa and offers him cigarette.
The simplicity of his private life favor
ably impresses his visitors. He is one
of the most plainly dressed men in the
Empire. Abdul Hamid did away with
the diamond spangled "aigrette," con-
sidering it extravagant vanity. The
imperial fez may be worth perhaps 81.

Turkish costume. which represented,
to some extent. the luxury of the East.

should see to 1t that in his outside work Presi-
dent Andrews should not misrepresent

Andrews has incurred the displeasure OF

A curious story reaches us from Cey-
lon in connection with the King of
Slams recent visit, says the Westmins-
ter Gazette. His majesty, with all the
devotion of pious Buddhist, ex-
pressed desire to see the tooth-relic
in the Daladu Maligawa temple, in
Randy. A royal reception was ac-
corded him. The King said his pray
ers, and the priests went into ecstacies
over his presents of robes and jewels.
Everything went well until his ma
jesty asked to he allowed to handle
the precious relic. Then the high
priest politely but firmly declined.
Royalty might look, but royalty
mightn't touch. Royalty thereupon
returned to his carriage in huff, and
his presents with him, to the no little
confusion of the over-zealous Unnanse.
Considering that the sacred tooth was
taken to Ceylon in lady's hair, surely
King might touch it.

One Staple Article of Food

People grow to appreciate the value of
fruit more fully each year. They eat it
not as luxury, but as a staple article
Of food. Fruits are nourishing, refresh
ing, appetizing and purifying, and con-
sequently have effect upon the health
and the complexion. Yet there are diff
ferences. Grapes and apples are highly
nutritious. Grapes usually agree with
the most delicate persons, for they are
80 easily digested Nothing is easier to
digest than a baked apple, taken either
with or without cream. Oranges, lemons
and lines are of great value as a means
of improving the complexion, and they
are especially good if taken before break
fast Ripe peaches are easy of digestion
and are fattening. Nothing is better to
enrich the blood than strawberries,
which contain a larger percentage of
iron than any other fruit. Fruit with
firm flesh like apples, cherries or plums,
should be thoroughly masticated; other
wise it is not easily digested. The skin
of raw fruit should never be eaten, and
before eating grapes or any small fruit
care should be taken to remove all i'm
purities by washing. Never swallow
grape stones. Stale fruit and unripe
fruit should never be eaten, and very
acid fruit should not be taken with far
inaceous foods, unless the person has
vigorous digestion.

The Red Rover Turns Out Some Rich
Ore

Henry T. Gage returned from the Red

ore has been taken out within the past

1t has always been theory that gold
coulo not be found at any great depth

lief has been demonstrated by the work
which has been done in the Red Rover.
Mr.. Gage believed that the theory was

TOMMY'S VISIT
He Did Not Relish His Experience at
the City Jail

Little Tommy Botello, Mexican boy
of 10 years, ran away from home yester-
day and was gone all day. His mother
became uneasy at his long absence and
reported the matter to the police, asking
that they assist her in finding her boy
At 10 o'clock last night Tommy was
found on Broadway making tracks for
home at 721 CASTELAR, street He was
picked up and brought into the august
presence of Captain Roberts at the po-
lice station. The little boy was very
much frightened and the tears were
streaming down his face as the captain
remarked, kindly:
"Well, you ran away from home, did
you, Tommy?'
Yes, SIR" whimpered the thoroughly
repentant urchin, as he stood barefoot
and bareheaded, with his face tucke d
down and looking the very picture of
objection
Captain Roberts has kind heart and
one that reaches out to boys, especially
to small boys who run away and do
other naughty things that well-regu-
lated child would not think of doing,
and he could not see the lad in misery
long without doing something to reas-
sure him. He reached over and strok-
ing Tommy's face kindly pressed it
against his side, where the boy sobbe6
away until he found relief. Then the
captain said to one of the officers:
"Show this boy through the Jail and
take him to the dungeon where we will
have to put him if he ever comes here
again."
Tommy followed the tall man with the
blue uCiform reluctantly, and, trem-
blingly, fearfully, entered the big iron
door leading into the inner prison. When
he came out his cheeks were blanched
and he had ceased his sobbing. The sight
had been an awful revelation to him.
"Will you ever run away again, Tom
my?' Captain Roberts inquired
"No, sir I will not" Tommy answered
and then he started home with his
mamma.
