1t is interesting to note the rapid
progress of the electric light service in
the country towns. Whitehall in
Trempeleau County, a little town of
not more than fve-hundred inhabi-
tants, has it's own electric light plant
and while the city is beautifully
lighted, absolutely free, the business
and resident portion at only twenty
cents per light per month, is not only
paying running expenses but is gradu-
ally paying the purchase price OF the
plant. This goes to show that every
city should own it's own electric light
plant and should never sell the fran
chise to private company.

Dear FATHER :.


Dear FATHER -
AS | have a few
minutes to spare [ will write.
Last Wednesday night while yet
on board the ship orders were
given to prepare for battle the
following day. On that day four
boats containing the End, 3rd
Wis, 5th Ill. and 10Th Penn,
accompanied by three battlesh1ps
stopped in front of Waneca,
where two thousand Spanish
soldiers were, to capture the city.
While the troops were landing,
before a single shot was fired the
Spaniards were gone. They
retreated to Ponce, where we fol-
lowed them, but on reaching
Ponce all we could find was three
Spaniards. The rest were run
ming over the mountains leaving
their ammunition and fourteen
hundred rifles for us, but as we
had all the rifles we could use we
just kept theirs to look at. AS to
our landing, we had to go ashore
in small boats for about one mile.
Co. G. was the first TO land on
foreign soil. First Lieut.. Nye of
Co. G.. was the first officer to land
and give a command, of this
expedition. On landing we were
met by many natives helping us
ashore, shaking hands and pulling
our packs away so as to carry
them, very few could talk good
English. There are but few real
negroes, most all half breeds. We
are treated better here than we
were in the U. S. by inhabitants.
AS for the Island, it is a beautiful
place very mountainous, also very
high; which makes it very nice
climate. It is not as hot here as
it was in Charleston, S. C. There
are good springs and the water in
the creeks is clear. The principal
products are sugar-cane and
bananas, which are both nearly
ripe. The last two things in the
world that | expected to see here
were dairy farms and an ice manu-
featuring plant. About mile
from Ponce, where we are in
camp, are two dairy farms each
has about one-hundred head of
cows; just as nice cows as | ever
saw. The mountains are used for
pas ture while the low rich valleys
are titled for cane and bananas.
But as the cities have surrendered
they have to be watched, in order
to do this we have to surround
the place with guards. These are
placed a mile from town three in
place, fifty rods apart, to watch

WOLCOIT'S MUD MACHINE,

1t appears that the Wolcotts, rendered
mad by the signs of hopeless defeat
which have become apparent to even
their purbllnd senses, have embarked i'll
nasty, personal campaign. The Den.
yer Times is their mouthpiece for bring.
ing skeletons out of the closet with a
historic sketch of one of the fusion can

Wolcott managers should engage in
such campaign for their candidates for
the senate and governor live IN crystal
palaces. against which many pebble
may be thrown. Probably no man ever
paraded bis gambling practices to
greater extent than has Senator Wolcott
The columns of the Times, itself, will
show how within the present decade
Senator Wolcott, by glorious plunge,

hen, there are traditions Of a bachelors

women OF that city that they are now ar.
rayed IN solid phalanx for the ticket
headed by Charles S. Thomas. Do
Henry Wolcott and his equally rapid
club-worn brother seek exposure of their
luxurious practices? Does any citizen
recall that either of them has been held
up by worthy people as exemplars of
the virtues? Bright. bralny and wealthy,
backed by influences potent and all per
vading, these men have been granted
immunity from public exposure and it is
marvellous that they now seek to make
capital out of the errors of candidates
who long since, unlike them, entered up
on careers of right living. 1t but illus

Brand New Anaesthe tic,

The latest anaesthetic preparation
is eucaine, prepared from South
American plant, and IN its local ac-
ton is similar to cocaine, but with
aut any of the poisonous effects of
the latter, even though employed in
much larger doses. The severest test
us yet reported was the amputation
at the lower third of the leg of a man
GS years old, without the use Of chlor-
oform or ether, followed by rapid and
painless healing of the stump. AS
much of the eucaine was put in two
or three tablespoonful of water as
the water woulq dissolve, and with
hypodermic syringe few drops of
the solution was injected under the
skin: about an inch from the center of
the injection another was made, then
another, until the limb was girdled by
them at the place where amputation
was intended. After waiting five min
utes to allow the superficial tissues to
become insensible, the needle was
thrust deeply into the muscles and in
lection made. In few minutes all that
portion of the leg including three or
four inches above and below the ring
of injections was found to be desti-
tute of feeling. and the operation Of
cutting off the limb was proceeded with
exactly as with ehleroform. When the
deeper tissues were cut into slight
smarting sensation was experienced
a few times. but Immediately relieved
by the application of little more of
the solution in the seat OF the dis
comfort.-London Lancet.

How Gold Nuggets Grow.

It Is generally supposed that the mug
gets which are found In the river gra-
wells of Klondike and other auriferous
regions have been brought down by
the rivers direct from the
reefs in which the gold
originally lay. Many practical miners
and scientific men. however, have long
been of the opinion that this cannot be
the case, for no masses of gold of 80
large q size were ever found in the
reefs themselves. They believe, on
the other hand, that the nuggets
have grown where they are now
found, just as q crystal OF salt will i
grow In strong brine; but with so In
soluble a substance as gold it was dii-
ficult to understand how much growth
could take place. Experiments car
ried out in Australia have shown that
decaying vegetable matter will cause
the deposition of gold from solutions
of gold salts, but these salts are not
known to occur in reefs. The mystery
is now solved. A Slavonic chemist
named ZziRmody has just shown that
gold itself can exist in q soluble form.
By acting on q slightly alkaline sOlu-
ton of . gold salt with formaldehyde
and submitting the product to dialysis
he has succeeded in obtaining gold in
q colloidal condition, in which state 1t
Is soluble in water and may be preci-
pitated bv the addition OF common
