A Lewiston inventor has made an cleo
tric car signal. 1t would he operated
from the white trolley poles. All that
we should have to do when desiring to
take Il car would be to step along to the
white trolley pole and press a button.
which would Immediately cause a signal
to appear on the trolley wire. This sig
nal could be seen a long distance by the
motorman and if the person who pressed
the button should get left it would be the
motorman's fault According to the in
ventor the pressing of the button would
break the current holding the signal to
the trolley wire allowing one end of the
signal to rap. With the passing of the
car the signal would be pressed against
the trolley wire. and held there thus re-
establishing the circuit and holding the
signal in place in readiness for the next
passenger. The inventor says the service
could be put in az Il slight expense

State VS.. Burrill. The testimony in this
case was continued. this morning. and
concluded on the part of the government
at about O'clock A large number of
witnesses have been examined to sup
port the allegations in the indictment.
The defence was opened. and when corrt
adjourned the direct examination of the
respondent was nearly concluded. He
admits that he represented that he and
his father had a mill that cost $4,000 to
build, but claims that it in fact did cost
as much as that, or more and that ne
and his father owned it. He also admits
that he represented that there was no
incumbrance on it. when as a matter of
fact there was a mortgage of $1,000; but
he claims that this statement was made
with no intention of deceiving or de-
frauding. because he had been led to be-
lieve that his father had arranged to life
the mortgage by turning in some pulp
mill stock which he and his father val
ued at $4,000, which the mortSagee al
ready had in his hands to secure a loan
of a few hundred dollars, but that this
adjustment Unexpectedly failed. He de-
MES that he represented that he owed
nothing except on one or two lots. and
claims that the property at Whiteheid
was worth at least $1,000. The defendant
claims that if he made the statement
that his father was a man of means. IL
would be immaterial in this case, because
the indictment does not alleSe that he
was not a man of means. He also claims
that in all the statements he made there
was no intention to defraud. AT o'clock

TWO CHICAGO MEN
Whose Business Gives Them Wide Expert.
encc.

There are two great grocery stores IL
Chicago which rank as among tn,
largest, if not the largest, in the world
Their names are not given in print a.
their competitors would naturally pro-
test against such prominence.
The names of the stores referred to
will be given by letter to any homes:
inquirer. The manager of one of these
houses says: I'VE are having a good
trade on Postum, the health coffee
made at Battle Creek. Mich, by the
Postum Cereal Co., Linn, and our eX-
perience is that people become steady
customers when they once try it,
1T is known as the genuine article Of
it's kind and certainly is charming
beverage. I have brewcd some of the
courterfeits which are on the market,
particularly one that has stolen part of
the name of Postum Cereal
If any one wants to know how good
Postum really is let him try it along
side of the counterfeit. The original
article has great merit or there would
not be so many trying to initiate it.
A counterfeit is always an imitation,
and only the genuine will satisfy care
full buyers.
The manager of the other store re-
ferred to was for nine years located
among the coffee plantations of Java as
a buyer of coffee for the English army.
He is reasonably supposed to be a
coffee expert. Postum is used by his
wife children and himself at his own
home.
A reliable grocer will never offer a
cheap or weak imitation OF a genuine
original article because he happens to
make a little extra profit. But it is
well to observe that when genuine.
Postum Cereal coffee is ordered. that
you get Postum and not spurious
imitation offered as Just as good.'

CITY PLANTS.
Municipal Ownership Of Gas, Water and
Other Industries to Be investigated.
A LABOR BUREAU INQUIRY.
Commissioner Wright VIII Publish a SUM
mary of All the Facts and Embody
Them In Special Report
to Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The proposed
federal and state investigation into
the municipal ownership of big enter
prises is now under way in several Of
the states. Its chief aim is to ascer-
tain the extent to which municipal
ownership has been carried in this
and information is to be col
lected as to all gas, electric light and
water works under such control. This
amounts to the taking of a census OF
all this class of municipal enterprises.
The secondary object is to collect
data bringing the cost to the con-
sumner of water, gas or electric light,
under municipal management, into
comparison with the cost of like pro-
duct under private control. An at
tempt also will be made to find the
cost of the different products under
the two methods of management. No
difficulty is anticipated in any Of the
features of the investigation, as NUM-
cipal works have readily given infor-
nation and the price paid by the con-
sumers is naturally easily obtainable
from the latter.
The inquiry will be carried on by
the different state bureaus of labor and
the federal department of labor,
There are 80 state offices. Some, how
ever, are unable to join in the inquiry,
and from such states the department
will collect the facts. The results will
be brought together, compiled and
analysed by the department of labor,
while each state participating in the
will publish the data belonging
to it. In this way thorough cooperation
has been secured and the work will be
accomplished with the least possible
delay. The principles involved do not
constitute any feature of the inyesti-
cation, and therefore, whether the
municipal ownership of such insSitn-
tions is or is not desirable has no place
in the investigation, which is based on
the desire of all parties on both sides
to learn the extent to which the idea
has been carried.
The bureau of labor here, under the
supervision of Commissioner of Labor
Wright, has been shipping the blanks
to the different state offices, and the
work already has been started in two
or three eastern states, The results
will be available for tabulation in the
different states in the next two or
three months. The department will
publish a summary of all the facts and
will embody them in special report
to congress. The idea of the canvass
had it's inception in resolution
adopted at the 18th annual convention
of the national association of officials
of bureaus of labor statistics in the
United States last June.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 3.-The populists
of the house met in secret caucus last
night for the consideration of the
schOolbooll question The result of
the meeting, rs learned from members
who took part, was that state uni
formity should be adopted, and that
the state should establish plant for
the publication of all books used in the
schools. Such plant, it is estimated,
would cost $4,000 or 100000, and
would employ about 100 men.
The house committee or fees and
salaries turned down the bill intro
duced by Young to make a sweeping
cut IN newspaper publication fees. The
bill passed the senate with little oppo-
sition, but when it reached the house

numbers and the house committee
made haste to reject it. and so re-
ported.

providing that government license in
