The Electric Lights.

Our readers are familiar Win
tbe fact that the town has bought
Mr.. Silvio Broussard's electric
light plant ard has taken charge
If same Since our last publlca
tiop of information about the
doinos relative. to the plant, the
commissioners have engaged the
services of Jas. Kelley, an electric
al engineer who comes with good
testimonials of his abilities, and
he has started to work. lie VIII
rive the entire system thorough
overhauling and will endeavor TO
establish quality and consistency
of light as will be of credit to his
profession and to the commission
ers.
When the commissioners took
charge of the plant, they did SC
without any repair materials what
eyer ON hand and with a great
deal of repair work urgently need
ed. Many of the, street lights
were out, and the materials foi
restoring them to service were not
ut hand. An order was placed III
New Orleans forbuilding materials,
impressing upon the supply house
the necessity for immediate ship
ment. All the order arrived with
the exception of lamps-a very
essential item.
The commissioners have con
tracted with Mr.. &. &. Trowbridge
for the rebuilding Of the lines on
Main street from the Power House
to Julia street. This work will be
crowded to the earliest possible
completion, consistent with good
work. These new lines will con.
sist of four new very heavy copper
lines, amply large to accommodate
$500 lights and it is Hoped to have
them ready for service by January
1st, next.
The necessary new material forth'
needed repair work has been order
ed and Immediately upon ITS ar
rival it will be made use OF IN tho
manner calculated to insure thu
best results.

SAW THE HOUR OF DEATH ON THE DIAL

This is her story: the true story of
well known resident of Springfield. She
believed, as so many women believe, that
fate controlled her life, her fortune, and
her future. She had been unhappy long
time. She had suffered long time She
had vainly sought help here, there, and
wonder. Day distressed her. Night no
longer refreshed her, but brought only
fitful slumber haunted by frlghtui dreams.
If was The hand of fate, she said. She
grew pale, fretful, haggard and tired OF
life. She drifted, drifted on into that wild
erness of woman's woes that has driven
thousands of her suffering sisters to the
verge of self destruction Finally she came
to look upo- death alone as source OF
relief. Si' hoped for it; longed tor 1t:
She court u the fateful hour. One nigh'

49,
she awoke with start She dreamed that
when the hand on tire dial OF the CLOCK
should point to the third hour of morning
she would die. Often she had suffered
aponies and wished for death, but now-it
was so sudden, so near, SO very near In
that moment life became inexpressibly
dear, How long had she to live! With
cry she sprang from her bed and ran to the
clock. it lacked ten minutes of three.
Only a few minutes more OF LIE WIN
frenzied haste she grasped the hand OF the
clock and pushed it back, back, back from
the fatefui number. Then she stopped
and almost swooned-but no, the tick of
the clock should not make a coward of her.
She would die at the fated hour-fate had
decreed it. but a few moments sull re-
manned In that time She would take
leave of those dear to her. Rushing 10
her writing desk she seized her pen and
attempted to write note OF farewell; II
was useless. Words failed her. The blank
sheet swan before her. Despairingly she
turned her eyes from it to a newspaper that
Law near at hand In an instant her gaze
riveted on the letters which were therein
printed from Mrs. Anna Tuggle, of Cherokee
CITY. Ark, Mrs. Emma Snyder, of Ames,
Iowa, and Mrs. White of Stony Greek, n. Y.
The reading Of these letters brought new
hope, new desires to live. She would
make one more effort. She also would
turn back the hand of fate and become
healthy, happy woman. That very hour
she began the struggle. That very morn
ing she began to use DR.. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription and to day there is no happier
woman-no happier wife and mother-ln
all Springfield. This one woman is type
of thousands who suffer and submit in
silence to the appalling fate which they,
too. consider inevitable. For them all there
is hone. For them all there is help.
Let them resolutely turn back the hand
Of fate, that according to their over
wrought imaginations, is stretched out
against them Many woman to-day is
suffering constant pain and sees the hand
of death OH the dial of time, who could be
| saved to a useful, happy life, if by some
means her attention could be drawn to
the wonderful cures of womans ailments
wrought by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, The difference between DR.. Pierce's
treatment and all others is the difference
| between
EXPERIMENT AND EXPERIENCE.
A woman naturally shrinks from the
| experimental treatment which involves
| uuestionings and examinations that are
| repugnant to her delicacy and offensive to
her modesty, and which at best result in
mental misery and physical patchwork.
| And so she silently endures her suffering
| rather than submit to examinations and
| local treatment
Wonders are worked by DR.. Pierce's
| Favorite Prescription. Nature is always
struggling to build up the wasted and worn
| system. SBut she cannot make bricks with.
| out straw The "Favorite Prescription !"
| supplies the material that nature can use
| to repair the waste of the system and re-
| new the vitality of the debilitated organs
| When this is accomplished health comes
| along natural channels and comes to stay.

MANILA, Feb. 14.-The United
States forces under Brigadier
General Miller captured Iloilo,
capitol of the island of Panay,
and seat of the so-called govern
ment of the Visayas federation,
on Saturday last, after a bonn
bardment. The rebels set the
town on fire before evacua.ing
it, but the American troops ex-
tinguished the flames. There
were no casualties on the Ameri-
can side.
The United States gunboat
Petrol arrived late last evening
with dispatches from Brigadier
Miller to Major General Otis, an
nouncing that Iloilo had been
taken by the combined military
and naval forces Saturday morn
ing.
General Miller, on receipt of
his instructions from Manila sent
native commissioners ashore
from the United States transport

for the rebel governor of noilo,
calling upon him to surrender
within time stated, and warn
ing him not to make a demons
tration in the interval.
The rebels Immediately moved
their guns and prepared to de-
fend their position. Thereupon
the Petrol fred two warning
shots, the rebels Immediately OPP
ening fire upon her.
The Petrol and the Baltimore
then bombarded the town, which
the rebels, having set it on fire,
Immediately evacuated.
The American troops were
promptly landed and extinguish-
ed the fires in all cases of foreign
property, but not before consid-
cradle damage had been done.
1t is believed the enemy's loss
during the bombardment was
heavy, but no American casual
ties are reported.

SnnaIIburg Jottings.

We had been "rassling" with
a five-pounder bull trout for over
half an hour, at the mouth of
Thompson creek, and lost it off
our hook; had come home with
one measly white gudgeon to
make a meal for the family on;
come home to find an unruly calf
had climbed over a ten-rail fence
and was imbibing too much albul-
actic fluid from the lacteal glands
of its mother, all of which was
not conducive to amiability or
good temper, and we were hot.
After separating the bovine in
fault from its kind parent by the
use of club, and making foot
ball of him for a short time, we
repaired to the hotel for usual
refreshments and the entertain
ment of whatever company might
have arrived during our absence
on the fishing grounds.
The only guests for the night
were Messrs. Rich and Sullivan
who were on their way with a
car load of goods with which to
replenish the wants of the upper
country and Custer people gen
orally.
About the only news of inter
est brought by them was the
probable passage of a new fish
law, making it compulsory on
the part of an angler to go into
the water, hunt up the fish, and
chase them out on dry land, after
that one can probably use his
own will as to their disposition.
1t seems in no other way can
sportsman enjoy ohe game dur
ing certain seasons, with safety
from prison walls. Now, every
one knows the finest fishing
season for whitefsh and Salmon
trout is from February 1st till
April 1st. The first having
spawned in December and Janu-
ary and the latter generally in
March, and after that are gone
before May 1st, and every one
also knows there should be a fish
law, and a stringent one as re-
CARDS nets, dynamite, and the
use of screens fine screens at
that) at the head of bitches, but
you might as well try to stuff
butter down a wild cats throat
with hot awl,' as to prevent
people fishing with hook and
line at any season of the year
when they desire either the fun
or food. 1t is queer that suppos-
edly wise men, assembled for the
enactment of proper laws regula-
ting destruction of game want
ongly, cannot see how they are
responsible for the making of
criminals, by abolishing hook
and line in the taking of fish.
People had used that means since
Christ with his loaves and mira
cles in the fish business, and will
continue to hook fish, the law to
the contrary, Notwithstanding
no witness to ever peach, nor
jury to convict, and none but
blockhead idiot can think of re-
striction. We hope when the
law is made whole the hook and
line at any season will be per-
missible. -RUBAIYAT.
