SHE WAS THRIFTY.
One Woman Made $1,000 with a Thrash
ing Machine.

A woman thrasher is novelty-that
is, outside of the schoolhouse or home.
And the one in question is genuine
thrasher of the golden grain of the
northwest, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. She came into one of the Minneap-
oils farm machinery houses the other
day to make her final payment on her
machine. This was startling and
marked her as a woman of business ca
pacity; for the man who makes full
payment on u thrasher this season is re.
garded as an exceptionally good man.
That the lady in question had business
head is further evidenced by the fact
that she succeeded in working" the
manager of the establishment for $3.50,
the amount of her fare home.
She innocently told him that to pay
her bill in full would take every cent
she had and she must take out enough
to get home. While the manager gen.
tly demurred at receipting the bill in
full with this discount off, she ingcn-
iously limited that it would cost more
than $3.50 to send collector after the
balance, and he tumbled to the situa-
ton as gracefully as possible. Mrs.
Thrasher Tor perhaps it is Miss) said
that she had made 81, 200 out of her ma
chine and had 1877 stacks of grain to
finish this winter, which she proposed
to do if the snow was hub deep. Consid-
ering the fact that many machines are
being taken back on mortgages this
year, no one can successfully maintain
that woman is not adapted TO this new
| field for woman's activity.

NAMES WRIT ON WATER.
Evanescent Regulations of Persons Who
Fitted on the Stage.


Theatrical reputation is the most
evanescent of all glories of life," sadly
observed the old actor, drawing his last
summers overcoat around him little
tighter, according to the New York
Herald.
That's So" responded the agent,
land nothing reminds one of this more
than an acquaintance with the bill
rooms of the old theaters about the
country. You know they have a way
of posting up bills and autographs in
the bill-rooms-that part of the theater
in which the bills are laid out, ana
which is the lounging place of the trav-
cling agents, the billposters, adyertis-
ing men, ETC., and preserving a sort of
record of the celebrated actors, COM
panies and scenes that have been at
that particular house. Sometimes this
is done Systematically, with an idea for
general pictorial effect, and then looks
very pretty. But more often it is the
freak of some billposter, who slaps up
a full length figure, or a Autograph
head, or something grotesque, thcwhole
collection forming curious and some
times nightmarish tumble.
in the older bill-rooms will be seen
pictures of bygone favorites of the
American stage-of many persons who
were famous the other day and who to-
day are quite forgotten. They are
usually represented in their favorite
costume and part. Some of these were
the rage but few years ago-drew big
salaries and had everything their own
way. There are women who actually
queened it over the whole country
made thousands and drank champagne
and wore a princess diamonds. Why,
their very names are forgotten! I am
not an old-timer, though I'm familiar
with the stage, and / tell you I've been
actually startled suddenly to come
across these pictures on the bill-room
walls, and to be thus reminded what
they had been, and to be set to thinking
what had become of them!"

The Russians.

The Russians are believed to have
originated from the Slovenian tribe
called the Roxilani, about the Christian
era. At q later date they were also
called Muscovites, from Moscow, their
leading city. The state was founded
by Ruric, s62 A. d. Russia was
duchy until 1857, when it became the
grand duchy of vladimir, remaining
such until 1928, when it was called the
grand duchy of Moscow. The Russian
rulers began to call themselves cars in
1852. Peter the Great assumed the
title of emperor In 1859.

GOV. LEDY's MESSAGE.

Tojeka, Kas., Jan. 12.-Gov. John B.
Ledys message to the Legislature is
an exhaustive document, dealing min
utely with the workings of the differ
ent state departments and is brim full
of recommendations. His first utter
ances touch upon the adverse criti-
cisms on Kansas made by the eastern
states and ridiculing that portion of
the country. Governor Ledy draws
a parallel of the degree of prosperity
in his state with that of it's alleged
maligners.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY:

| In announcing as n candidate for
mayor | submitted my name subject
to the action of Republican conven-
| ton, if such convention should be
held. | did this because | am Re-
publican and would not be candi-
date in opposition to the action of the
party. l am convinced that party
nominations would be welcome re-
lief from the present methods of get
( ting up tickets; that personal politics
| have become an evil and the source
of all evil in our local affairs: | do
not hold that because man is a Re
publican that he would make a better
local officer but it is no disqualified
| ton.
Since it appears that no party con-
vention will be held have announced
myself as a candidate, at the request
of number of good citizens, avoiding
the display of petitions or calls. leay-
ing the decision to the people at the
ballot box.
| deem it no display of egotism to
say that feel fully competent to
fill the position. being sound in mind
and body. long identified with the city
and deeply interested in its welfare,
and thoroughly acquainted with its
condition and necessities. The follow
ing sketch of a platform embodies in
a short way my idea of the issues
now before the voters:
| l. No more bond issues-at least
for the next two years.
=. The expenditures of the city to
be kept within possible income.
| 3. The assessment of property to
be revised so that homestead property
shall not be oyertaXed and business
property undertaXed.
4. The board of equalization to
consist of the mayor and board of al
| dermen as the charter provides. to
hear complaints of taxpayers.
| 3. A system of street repairs to
take care of streets upon which the
city has already expended hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
| 6. Compel every corporation using
our streets to comply with their con-
tracts. so that the public may have
their rights also.
7. A system of street cleaning and
scavenger work that will apply to all
our city and protect the health of the
lpeOple.
8. The maintenance of the credit of
the city-the prompt payment of all
salaries and wages due city employees.
8. The application of the savings
from our revenue to restore the sink
ing fund to redeem our bonds when
due. "' - y
10. Retrenchment in every depart
ment of the city must be the watch
word so that the present budget will
be cut down 100000.
II. Reduction instead of increase
of our already too high rate of taxa
ton.
~. The utilizing of the sewer sys-
TEN as far as practicable in order to
relieve our streams through the city
of the filth of private sewerage, and
giving time to outside districts to
make connection.
Is. Reform in every department of
the public service. including our pub
lie schools: the abolition of fiogging
as part of our public education.
l shall try to illustrate how this
platform may be carried out and more
fully explain my ideas upon city af-
fairs before the day of election.

TURNS OUT eESSEMER STEEL.
Oxide Successfully Extracted from Rock by
Edison with tho Use of Electricity.

Oxide Successfully Extracted from Rock by
Edison with the Use of Electricity.
When Thomas Edison began expert
menting with electricity as means of
extracting iron oxide from rock a
shiver ran through the spinal columns
of iron mine owners. Then the matter
was forgotten and the public heard
nothing more about magnetic separat-
ors until a few days ago, when the
news came out that the method was
not only perfected, but that by it 5000
tons of bessemer steel were being
turned out every day at Edison, n. j.
Mr. Edison has been developing his
newest discovery quietly, and now his
smelling works and their appurtenant
buildings cover many acres among the
Jersey mountains. The rock is blast
ed out of open quarries, 5000 tons at a
time, and carried by enormous electric
cranes to rollers which crush the
largest powders as If they were lump
sugar. After passing through a Sc
ries of these rollers the fine rock falls
past 700 magnets, which extract the
ore, sending it along TO the furnaces al
most free from extraneous matter.
From the furnaces the ore issues in
nuggets of bessemer steel ready for the
mills

1t Causes Indignation at
Washington.

Mckinley is almost in state of
panic on account of his private
advices from ohio. Boss Hanna
with all his egotism has become
alarmed at the indifference of so
many men who have heretofore
been the most enthusiastic workers
in every republican campaign; he
fears the indifference will last
until election day and that it wild
keep thousands.o Of republicansaway
from the polls, and he has COM
municated his fears to Mckinley
who is now trying to devise some
scheme to arouse a little enthu-
.siasm among the Foraker republi-
cans of Ohio. Ex-Congressman
Layton, Of Ohio, who although q
democrat is not taking any active
part in the campaign because of
his pressing legal engagements,
has been telling his Washington
friends that the Ohio democrats
have an excellent chance to win, if
they can only succeed in getting
out full vote. He is confident
that the republican stay-at-home
vote will reach away up in the
thousands. and is afraid that the
same cause may largely reduce the
democratic vote. He says he
never saw such apathy among
rural voters in Ohio campaign
as exists at this time.
"Whst have you got to do with
Cuba, anyhow" That is the plain
English of the courteously worded
reply of the new Spanish ministry
to McKinley's Quixotic mediation
