NEWS OF THE OLD BOYS.
They Hadn't Turned Out Very Well,
Barring Inquirer and Informant.


He was a young Chicago man re-
turned for few days visit to his ma
tive town, where he had long anticipat-
ed a pleasant reunion with the old
friends of his youth, says the Louis
Vile Commercial. He did not have
much luck finding his old companions
at first, but finally he fell in with one
who, he felt sure, could put him on
the trail of all the rest.
Hello, old man." he said cordially.
as his friend sauntered toward him in
the slouchy, staggering gait so COM

are all the old boys?"
The "old man" was slow to recognize
his returned friend, but was glad
enough to see him once he collected
his wits and remembered his name.

The Widest Animal Subdued

By NikoIa Tesla, the Famous Inventor
and Electrician.
1t seems to me that there are interest
ing possibilities in the training of ami
mails by electricity. OF course it's rather
out of my province, but the idea of the
electrical subjugator appears feasible
when one knows the power Of electricity
and the instructive fear that brutes have
Of the unknown.
And the electric method seems more
humane than those l believe are in use
the whip, red hot irons and drugs, which
are likely to do permanent injury, while
the physical effects of an electric shock
are soon gone, only the moral ones re-
naming.
The subjugator referred to will do the
work, but 1 think an apparatus could
be designed that would be less danger

Silver Alliance.

Silver Republicans held a conference last
evening which was generally attended by
members of these parties in both houses of
congress. After a discussion Of the present
situation in politics, 1t was determined that
the two parties, while maintaining separate
organizations, would work together iii the
coming campaign, and endeavor to avoid
nominations which would conflict. Both or

the Democrats in order that a solid COM

MIR. M'RAE'S RESPECTS
SHARP ATTACK ON ADMINISTRA A.
TIoN BY ARKANSAS MEMBER

Asserted, the President Must Ac-
cept Insults From Foreign Ma
tfons-FOrtiffcation and Coast
Defenses Fill Passed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The house
today, during its session, had under
consideration the bill making appro-
priations for Notifications and coast
defenses. Little interest seemed 10 be
manifested in the proceedings, less
than one-haf of the members being
present during the session.
The bill was passed, carrying $4,144,-
9l2, against $9,5l7,141 last year.
Mr.. Lewis Oem., Wash) took occa-
sion during the debate to discuss the
financial question, and said it was the
purpose of the administration to re-
tire the greenbacks. He also criticised
the leaders of the house for not allow
ing more time to discuss the Teller
resolution.
BY the introduction of an amend
ment TO reduce the maximum price of
oil tempered and annealed steel from
% to % cents per pound, Mr.. McRae,
of Arkansas, secured the floor and
made a sharp attack upon the admin
istration. He said he had no fear of
war, because he was satisfied the pres
ent administration would accept any
insult from a foreign nation that might
be offered, bound hand and foot as it
was by trusts and monopolies. The
great mass of the people, however,
would protect the honor of the coun-
try. Instead of preparing for war to
protect the country from the inroads
of a foreign nation, Mr.. McRae thought
congress ought to protect the country
from a further issue of bonds, which
seemed likely, in view of the present
condition of the revenues, before the
end of another year.

Drowned.

The Twin City papers contain
specials from Ada, Mimi, convey Ing
the news Of the death Of Clarence
Smith, Of Sank Centre, at Ada, by
drowning on last Friday. The par.
ticulars were not given, but It is
said that he was swimming in Long
lake, near Ada, and it is supposed
that he was seized with cramps.
Smith was well known in this city,
and had many friends among the
young people here. He taught school
at Belle Prairie, and also had many
friends and acquaintances there.
He was only 70 years Of age, and
was bright promising young man.
The blow is a doubly sad one to his
relatives by reason OF it's snddenness
and also from the fact that his sister
died but short time before him.
