Electric Lights, etc.

phe city council on last Monday
light passed ordinances granting TO
NJ Strain and A. Il. Bent the right
tb establish a power plant IN Lamat
5nd to lay pipes for steam heating'
purposes, also to erect poles and
maintain lines for telephone ex-
change. They also voted to submit
to the taxpayers at the election ON
April the question of granting a
twenty five year franchise to these
gentlemen to put in au electric light
plant None OF these franchises are
to be exclusive.
II the vote should prove to he fav
orable Messrs, Strain and Bent ex-
pect to have their plant in operation
by the first of November this year,
and contrary to the usual custom in
small towns they will give us an all
night service. The telephone ex-
change will have central office with
connections with the various tele-
phone lines of the valley so that any
point between La Junta and Holly
can be reached.
This institution will not only be
a great convenience to our citizeas,
but of vast benefit to the growth
and business of our city, as well as
a splendid advertisement of its pro
gressive spirit. Messrs. Strain and
Bent are desirous of holding a public
meeting of the taxpayers so they can
explain their intentions, and the Reg
lister believes all will find it to their
interest to attend and hear them.

Modesty.

"A leading democrat informs The
Sparks" is the way that paper com
mences an article which purports to
give away republican secrets. As the
article was entirely the creature of the
editors disordercd imagination his
modesty can be appreciated. A less
modest man in his position would
have said 'the leading democrat" !" but
perhaps he remembered the demo
cratic county convention last fall.

The Wilksbarre Verdict.

1t is reported that the Austrian
government has instituted an investi-
CATION of the shooting of the coal
miners by Sheriff Martin and his men
at Lattimer for the purpose of de
manding indemnity from the govern
ment. Whether or not this fact had
any influence in determining the YER
dict of the jury is not known, but
that the Austrian government should
consider the case ground for indem-
nifty is significant to say the least.
That the people of this country are
not satisfied with the verdict is plain.
The Springfield Republican, one of
the most conservative newspapers in
the country, in commenting on the
matter says:
ut is not clear that the miners
should have been prevented from
marching on the highway; it is not
clear that they should have been de-
MED the opportunity to show them
selves within sight of the miners at
work; it is not clear that the depu.
Ties should have fired as soon as they
did. Hence the fear that the affair
was an awful mistake that will influ.
ence still more the antagonism be-
tween employer and employed"
The verdict at Wilksbarre was an
injustice heaped on the slaughter at
Lattimer.-Des Moines Daily News.

Only One Way Out.

Administration organs are now talk
ing about broader autonomy for
Cuba, this government supporting
the project by a guarantee. That
might be a good thing if it were
practical.
The Cubans demand their indie
pendence and have rejected with
scorn all overtures looking toward
anything less than that. This govern
ment cannot, with consistency, pro-
pose anything to which the Cubans
themselves will not agree.
There seems no way out of this
whole matter except by the acknow-
Judgement of the independence of
Cuba. This country cannot longer
tolerate a policy of bloodshed in
Cuba, and it must not be party to a
sham. -Des Moines Daily News.

Topworklng the American Varieties.

BY j. SEXTON. AMES, IOWA.
In looking over Northern Fruits I
came acrss Mr.. F.W. Kimball's artic o
on the Late Keeping Apple" He ex-
pressed my idea exactly. My opinien
is it you lie pie in Minnesota will
keep trying to raise the American APP
pie you will have to do it by top
working on some hardy stock, and 1
believe the Hibernal is the proper
tree. If 1 were to set an orchard in
Minnesota l would set out ali two
year old Hibernal trees and grow
them one year. Next year 1 would
top work them down as low as l
thought would be necessary. Cut off
the whole top and put in one scion in
each tree. / can show you one of The
neatest orchards in Iowa top-worked
in that way 1s years ago. There is in
the neighborhood OF one thousand or
twelve hundred trees, and l did the
work myself. The stock I grated
was the Haas sometimes called Gros
Pommier.) The American apple
seems to be doing we'll the last few
years, and l say, and SO does every
one else, that as far north as we can
grow the American apple grow them.
But if history will repeat itself, which
! think it may, we will be visited by
another winter similar to 's4, which
will make things look decidedly DESC
late. Now do not understand me to
say that / advise planting and top.
working the Hibernal with the Amer
lean apple. But do say, if l wanted
to raise the American apple in Min
nesota that is the way I would do ii /.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal rem
edies. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years. and is a regular
prescription. lis composed Of the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting di-
rectly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such won
derful results in curing Catarrh.

OUR CANDIDATE in 1900
What McK1nley Thinks.

There is lack of positive belief on
the part of Mckinley which explains
his lack of positive action.
Mckinley does mott ~ylieve that
there will be war with Spain.
Mckinley does not believe that
the Maine Investigation will show
Spain to be guilty.
Mckinley does not believe that
Spain will refuse to pay an indemnity
Mckinley does not believe that it
will be proved that Spain ought to
pay an indemnity.
Mckinley does not believe that con-
gress should declare war.
Mckinley does not believe that con-
gress should remain in session much
longer.
These are few things which Nc
Kinley does not believe. The people
of the United States would be glad to
know some of the things which Nc.
Kinley does believe.
1t is safe to say that he believes in
keeping in line with the trusts, and
as the trusts believe in peace-at-any
price, one can come pretty near CUES
sing where Mckinley stands on thai
question.
Mckinley thinks that "the conserva.
tive people of this country are OPP
posed to war;" and the conservative
people he has consulted are Mark
Hanna, j. Pierpont Morgan, Russell
Sage, w. d. Rockefeller and those OF
that class. These men represent
conservative opinion" in McKin
ley's eyes, and it is not to be wonder
ed at that he believes that conserva
tive opinion is opposed to war. Those
are the fellows who would bond Cube
and make money out of murder

The Farmers Institute of Mahaska
county mas no use for the Hartman
bill to create state department. of
agriculture, and publicly denounces
it. In public address bearing the
signatures of it's president and secre-
tary, the executive board of the insti-
tute says: I'VE desire to call your at
tention to bill now before the Iowa
senate, file No. 2Os by Hartman. It
is bill to create department of ag-
riculture in Iowa. We have read the
bill carefully and condemn it from
first and last and brand it a scheme
to fasten the long hungry teeth of the
state fair on the money box of Iowa.
There is nothing in the bill for the
common farmer but to pay his taxes
and support several more salaried
officers in Iowa. We have already
peSitioned one senator and represent
alive to vote and work against this
bill and hope all other farmers insti-
tutes will look up this matter and do
likewise. There is no time to lose, as
the legislature may soon adjourn and
this bill may be put through with a
rush. The state appropriation will
be taken away from each county and
spent at Des Moines and all the good
we farmers will get out will be what
We can absorb from the one delegate
provided for in the bill for each coun-
ty to attend the big winter two days
long institute they propose to hold at
Des Moines. We say kill such bill
and do it now, and we know of no
other way than above stated. "-Tele-

OUR NEIGHBoRs.
Our Fear of What They Will Say
Keeps Us Poor.

Half the stings of poverty or of
small means is gone when one keeps
house for ones own comfort, and not
for the comfort of ones nefghbors.
Deny it as we will, few of us have
the moral force to set up standard
of our own based upon our own in
comes and our own particular home
environment. We commit the folly
of regulating our expenses by the in
come of someone else's. Ifthe Browns
across the street, hang up expensive
lace curtains, We are discontinued
until lace curtains havs gone up t"
our windows. no matter how much
smaller our income may be than that
of the Browns, II the Smiths put
down velvet carpet, our neat and
pretty ingram becomes an eyesore to
us.
We have not the courage, not the
independence to be Indifferent to the
comment of our reighbors. This form
of moral cowardice is causing many
families to live hey ond their incomes.
They can face debt and forfeit their
self respect easier than they can face
the unfavorable comment of their
friends and neighbors. The extent to
which this imitation of others Ia car
ried would be ludicrous did it not
bring so much unhappiness in itf
train. 1t is frequently the direct cause
of the discord and discomfort anc
debt that have driven happiness from
the flmily hearthstone. Let US have
a standard of our own. based upor
our own tastes, our own income, oui
own needs, and let US cheerfully anc
bravely adhere to this standard, heed
less of that dreadful bugbear, "Wha'
will the deighbors say?'
