TREASON THREATENED BY WALL
STREET.

From Henry Clew'r late Cir
cular ,~"Wall Street is not greatly
distnayed at this outlook. 1t has
learned to believe that there are
greater potencies than party
platforms, than legislative sub
serviency to popular Ignorance,
than the madness of party in
fataation. They know that there
are situations and events which
can instantly coerce and convert
the most reckless legislators into
willing servants of conservative
sentiment that represents the
Zeal interests and safety OF the
nation. It will not be necessary
to wait for any after effects OF
silver legislation to remedy its
mischief although that would be
a perfectly safe course. The near
prospect Of the authorization OF
free coinage counting Of heads
showing d certainty OF a two thirds
vote in the House and Senate for
16 to would evoke in Wall
Street the kind ofconditions that
no Congress ever yet dared to
disregard, and the cause of free
coinage would be .overthrown at
the moment when it's success
seemed most certain. It is this
reserved power on which Wall
Street is now seriously surprised
by any outcome between now
and the November elections. It's
confidence in the final safety is
hnshaksn. 1t can as little believe
that the nation would finally
consent to the destruction OF its
money system as that it would
burn up IT'D ctope OF, destroy its
accumulated wealth"

Benevelence.'

A curious story is told Ex-senator
Hoar of Massachusetts, the man
in congress whose face beams
more THAN all others with kind
illness and benevolence. II Is fe
lated that the other day when the
senator was about to board a
street car on the Avenue the CON
ductor, seeing that the statesman
was very old in appearance,
reached out and assisted him to
mount the steps. The senator re-
sented the familiarity, though
the conductors act was in accor.
dance with orders issued by the
company. Fellow passengers say
that the venerable statesman
made the air blue with his elo-
quent abuse Of the man, and
when the latter tried to explain,
threatened him with personal Vi
olence. The senator wrote to the
company demanding the conduc-
tors dismissal. The company's
officers refused. The senator per-
sisted, and the coSardly officials,
fearing to prejudice their case in
anticipated legislation, suspen
ded the man for a month. The

Wagons and Money-Mediums

Money is only valuable for

ATTENTION FARMERS!

At the meeting of the Denver
Farmers Club last Saturday it
was decided that the exacting of
our millers could be tolerated no
longer. So the farmers have deci-
ded to build a -four mill of their
own and manufacture their own
-four in future. Committees haye
been appointed to select. site
and consider the inducements Of
fered by the several localities,
also to draft constitution and by
laws to govern the company, and
solicit stock from all farmers on
Camas Prairie.
The regular meetings Of the
club are held in the Denver
school house every Saturday al
/ o'clock P. M.
Every farmer who takes any
interest in this movement ii
earnestly requested to give it hiE
! consideration.

gen, the committee elected by
the farmers club of Denver were
in town Tuesday night looking
over the site for a -four mill.
They have FIVE sites offered, but
it seems that Cotton wood, from
its advantageous situation, is the
logical place OF site. There is not
one single objection that can be
urged against this site, but every
thing in favor of it. The farmers
will make no mistake by locating
their mill here. .-..

TRICKS ON the Teachers.

The other day q pupil in one OF the
public schools asked the teacher to do
little example in grammar, and since
then what seemed at first to be simple
problem has had the serious consider
alton Of all the pedagogues In the COM
mrmity, and it has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule In gram
mar to cover the point raised. Inc
youngsters proposition was this:
ct Is two miles to Woodfords. Now
please write under that sentence There
are two twos In the above sentence. !"
That Is what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem in writing,
and when the teacher tried to follow
his Injunction she found out the reason
why. 1t dawned ON her that there were
not two twos, neither were there two
tos, and how to express in writing
what was easy enough to do verbally
she ascertained to be impossible.
The boy responsible for the forego'
Ing must be a near relative to the
youth who asked his teacher how TO
spell Paris green, and when she replied,
"P-a-r Par, is, Paris, green, green;
Paris green" retorted:
"No, you're wrong; you can't spell
Paris green, or blue, or any other color
You can't spell 1t anything but Paris. y

Want Bugs Protected.

For some time past British entomolo-
gists, or bug-hunters, have been exer-
cised over the determination Of certain
Insects In consequence Of the zeal Of the
collectors, who roam over the country
with butterfly nets. 1t would be diff
cult to protect butterflies and moths by
Legislation, as has been done for birds
so an association has been formed I'M
der the auspices Of the chronological
Society Of London. The members agree
to leave rare insects alone for awhile
and to do all in their power to curb the
sporting instinct in others. The insect
collector who abides by it will be more
than human, remarks London Graphic.

Novel Use for Tidal Power.

Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization OF the
energy developed by the rise and fau
of the tides, but the intermittent char
acter Of the power has usually prevent
ed any satisfactory solution Of the
problem. There Is, however, one In
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied In a very
simple manner. Among the river front
at Liverpool there Is tendency for
the accumulation Of all silt against
the dock walls, requiring occasional
dredging for its removal. Instead OF
using scoop dredges, this mud Is re-
moved at different periods by the use
of tide power In the following manner:
Aleng the base of the dock walls Is
laid a pipe, perforated with holes,
directed outward, this pipe being con-
nected with the interior Of the dock
system, and suitable valves being pro-
ylded to permit or check the flow OF
water. When the tide is very low, and
consequently the head Of water meas
ured from the surface In the docks is
at its greatest, sudden opening OF the
connection permits a rapid flushing
action Of the water escaping through
holes In the pipe at the base Of the
walls, securing out the mud and driv-
ing 1t out into the river to be carried
away. AS the tides at Liverpool aver
age about twenty-five feet or more, II
Is evident that this simple form of
dredging apparatus may be very effect
i've, and as the times chosen for using
it may be selected when the supply of
water Is greatest, 1t does not interfere
with the regular use Of the docks. Ulti-
mately economical forms Of power stor-
age will render the equalization Of tide
power commercially practicable, but
at the present time this example serves
to demonstrate the fact that solar and
lunar attraction, as expressed by the
tides, have been harnessed In small
way at least-Cassier's Magazine.

Boy Has a Mania for Reptiles.

eleven reptiles of various species. He

Ever since he was able to walk
Teddy has had a mania for creeping
things, and has availed himself OF
every opportunity of gathering about
him a variety of squirming, twisting
serpents.
Teddy's pride is young king
snake, so called, because it is able to
kill any other snake, except boa con-
strictor, by winding itself about the
neck of its victim.
Snakes are as easily domesticated, u
says he, ''as any other pets. They
are ugly sometimes, but they get ovel

A Peculiar Affection.

Carpenter Middaugh of Ottowa,
Kan, is suffering under a peculiar
affection. He struck his head on the
sharp corner of cupboard in his
house seven months ago, but beyond
a slight wound over the eyebrow he
experienced no immediate inconven-
fence because of the mishap, and he
paid little attention to it. On a hunt

shot, when he found that with his left
eye closed he was blind. Now the
