L. A. w. Members VIII Furnish
Money to- Fight minneapolis Case.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 1S.-The
executive committee of the L. A. w.
had a meeting at the Grand hotel to-
day. The especial subject for discus
sion and action was a recent decision
of judge in Minneapolis, Mimi, that
no one had any right to construct or
maintain a cycle path along a public
highway A great deal of Indignation
was expressed at the executive COM
mittee meeting over the decision, and
it was held to be an invasion Of the
rights of wheelmen, who often pay a
preponderance of taxes of COM
munity. AS a result of the meeting a
telegram was sent to Attorney Choate,
of Minneapolis. who has undertaken a
fight in behalf Of the wheelmen, stat
ing that the l.. A. w. will back him

IMPORTANT RULING.
Missouri Supreme Judge on Taxing
of Common Carriers.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 10
Chief Justice CAN'T today refused the
application of John J. McCann, repre-
sen'ting the ST. Louis Equal Tax as
ISOLATION, for a writ of mandamus to
compel the state board of equalization
to Assess all railroad, bridge, telegraph
and express companies property of the
state at their actual value. In the de-
cision Judge CAN'T holds that the law
gives the state board of equalization
absolute authority to determine the
valuation Of the above properties and
that the supreme court has no juris-
diction in the matter.

AFTER CURIOUS SEAT.
Sir Herbert LeyIand, Whose Wife Is
Also an American.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The resi- gnation
of George N. Curzon from parliament
to accept the position of viceroy OF
India brings to the front the husband
of another American girl who has been
his political opponent in the last par
liamentary elections. Curzon had a
close fight with Sir Herbert Naylor
Leyland, who married Miss Jennie
Chamberlain, of Cleveland, a famous
American beauty, but Won by small
majority. The writ was issued today
ordering a new election in the South
port division of Lancashire. Leyland
will again enter as the Radical candi-
date and endeaVor to gain the seat in
parliame ut vacated by Curzon.
BOMBAY, Aug. 13.-The Allahajbad
Pioneer, in an article commenting upon
the appeintment,of Mr.. Curzon as vice
roy of India, eulogiZeS his extraordi-
nary talents. but says that his APP
poirtment does not inspire the same
confidence as would that of a states
man whose reputation had ripened
with less phenomenal rapidity. The
Bombay Times says that the selection
of Mr.. Curzon is eminently acceptable
to public opinion as a worthy successor
to the former illustrious vice regents.
Los Angeles Sewage.
Although Los Angeles has no sea outlet for
its sewers. its method Of sposing of sew
erage may be suggestive to inland ccm-
munities troubled with the rage prto-
lem. The California city sells its sewage,
getting a respectable income thereby. At
present it is furnishing fertility to 1000 acres
at an annual profit of about "a so. The lay
of the land facilitates this disposal Of sew
age, as it can all be distributed by gravity.
and three times the now supplied can
be irrigated as the supply Of sewage in
creases with the city's growth. Results have
demonstrated that the fertilizing material in
the sewage Is an imp 1rt2nt item. Exhaust
ed grounds thus treated produce bounteous
crops yearly, and the farmers having irriga-
ton contracts with the city have no fear OF
droughts. The soil seems to gain more from
the sewage than is taken from it In the crops.
and there is no need Of following the rules OF
rotation in Planting.

Don't be Deceived.

The ring organs are scenting dam
ger early, and are becoming frantic in
their appeals for support this year.
They have hitched the machine be-
hind the Mckinley band wagon, hop
ing to hoodwink the people into
"vote of confidence" indiscriminately.
Listen to one of them -
Work for Mckinley this year in
Pennsylvania work for him every
where. He deserves united support
at the polls just as he is receiving unit
ed support now In his admirable con-
duct of the war. The practical way
to show this support is by vote of
confidence, and this vote will be taken
in November. Strengthen McKin-
leys hands, so that he may the better
impress our foreign opponents with
the weight of his representations and
demands.
The inconsistency OF this silly
twaddle is equaled by its falsity, while
it deceives nobody. If President Nc
Kinley is "receiving the united sup
port of the whole country" and
Pennsylvania must necessarily be in
cluded, there can be no earthly rea-
son why the people of this state should
re-elect gang of iniquitous ringsters
who have robbed the state and vast
ed the peoples substance in order to
show their support of Mckinley. OF
this fact the staunchest Mckinley Re-
publicans in the state are fully aware,
and are preparing to vote accordingly.
They realize this to be the year of
"overpowering" home questions, and
that the whole campaign hinges on
state issues. If the charges made,
not by Democrats alone, but by lead
ing Republicans, of robbery of the
treasury, theft of hard earned taxes,
the capitol burned under suspicious
circumstances, and iniquitous meas
ures, inimical to the rights of the peo-
pie, be not strong enough to constitute
home issues, when will there be
charges strong enough ? Will it be
the next year, or the year after, or
when every political avenue in state,
county and township is blocked by
the machine, and its boodlers demand
tribute from every householder ?
These are the burning questions that
make up the home issues, and the
now presents the opportunity of sett-
ling them. The wa question will
take care ofilsei! The people, north,
south, east and west are united in its
support, and it is the fear that Penn
sylvania may do likewise in home
matters-unite IN one determined
effort 10 redeem the state from the
thraldom that has so long disgraced
it that frightens the organs, and,

pie, ''Save us or we perish"

The Spanish Royal Standard.

The Spanish royal standard is most
complicated. The red and yellow OF
the Spanish flag is said to be derived
from this occurrence In 1878
Charles the Bold dipped his fingers in
the blood of Goeffrey, Count of
Barcelona, and drew them down the
counts golden shield, in token of the
appreciation of the latter's bravery.
The shield, so marked became the
arms of Barcelona, which became
part of Arragon, and its arms were
taken by that kingdom.
Now to the royal standard In
the first quarter, or upper left hand
part of the flag are the arms of Leon
and CASTLE, the lion and the castle !;
the second quarter is taken up, one
half by the arms of Arragon, one-half
by the arms of Sicily. The upper
third of the third quarter directly un-
der the frst) shows the Austrian
colors, the lower two-thirds is divided
between the flag of Burgundy and the
Black lion of Flanders the upper
third OF the fourth quarter shows the
chequers, another Burgundian device,
while the lower two-thirds is shared by
the red eagle of Antwerp and the
golden lion of Brabant, and on the
top of all this are two shields, one
showing the Portuguese arms, the
other the French fleur-de.lis. Con.

A Standard of Wealth IN Russian Ar
menia.

In arid and semi-desert regions the
question of fuel is one that taxes the
resources and ingenuity of the inhabi-
tants. The people who live in Russ
ian Armenia have solved the question
in way that forms a very striking
feature in the views OF all the villages
of the plateau. After the grain has
been threshed, the remaining straw is
piled up in great stacks on the low,
flat roofs of the houses and stables,
where it will be convenient for use as
bedding for the stock. Much OF the
straw, however, is mixed with the
fresh manure as that is taken from the
stables from day to day. The mixing
is usually done in round beds made
by raising low ridge of earth, using
an implement like hoe for the work.
Then square or round cakes of the
mixture are made with the hands and
plastered on wall to dry. When dry,
these cakes are piled up in conlcal or
pyramldal heaps, which are frequently
ten or fifteen feet in height. These
piles seem to be hollow, so as to per-
nit free circulation of air to insure
thorough drying. In many cases
there is a small opening at the bottom
of the stack to allow of its being used
as kennel or chicken house or some
thing else of that sort. These dried
cakes of dung mixed with straw are
almost the sole dependency of the
country people for fuel, and, as a
consequence, in the semi-desert, the
man who possesses large quantity
of this material is considered wealthy
and his daughters are desirable
matches.
