Gen. Miles Makes an Address Before
Harvard Students.

Cambridge. Mass, March 23.-General
Miles addressed the students of Harvard
university in Sanders theater yesterday

ward Republican club. The theater was

eral Miles and President Eliot with deaf
ening cheers.

personal and contained no reference to the
recent war or to the controversy concern
ing the war Management.

said, had showed the same courage and
fortitude under calumny and misrepre-
sentation he had shown in camp and
battle President EliOt's words made a

WARS ON SALOONS.
Agent of the Anti Saloon League Says
They Ignored New Law.

Des Moines, March 23.-AH the saloons
of Des MoineS were today notified to cease
business by April Is or suffer prosecu-
ton.
The notice was served by Rev. H H.
Abrams of Marshalltown, agent of the
Anti-SalOon league. He makes the point
that the saloonkeepers have not complied
with the provisions of the new code adopt
ed by the last legislature, which provides
that a petition of consent must be signed
by e5 per cent of all the voters at the
last general election and permission grant
ed by the board of supervisors before a
saloon can be opened.
Most of the saloons were in operation
prior to the adoption of the new code and
have not thought it necessary to obtain
a new petition of consent

OF the 81 committees of the house

working, industrious committees,
and others do not have so much la
Dor to perform. A gentleman who
was interested in a certain commit
tee of the latter class inquired of the
clerk whether the committee had
met.
NO, sir, replied the clerk, and
this answer was made to each sue
ceeding inquiry day after day. At
length the gentleman, after repeated
visits, asked:

SAM KNEW THE SADDLE.
Which was Stolen Last Fall-A Very
Lucky Find.

Sam Cobb today discovered a
saddle that was stolen with a horse
from in front of the Cobb grocery
store last fall when Ringing Bros.
show was here. The horse re-
turned soon after the theft but the
saddle was never heard OF till to-
day. A negro from the Grand
river country named John Arm
strong. rode along the street and
Sam knew the saddle, which was
the property Of John Metcali, one
of Capt. S. S. Cobb's COW hands.
Tom Prather followed and a mile
below town, overlook Armstrong,
who readily returned with the
saddle and city marshal Chandler
took it off the horse. Armstrong
says he bought it from Chauncy

hydraulic Power In switzerland.

Switzerland is full of small power
plants, nearly every town in that
land of mountains and waterfalls
being well supplied with power
from the white coal, as the melt
ing snow on the mountain sides has
well been called. When there are
no large streams, many small ones
are impounded and collected in res
ervoirs on the hillsides, and it is
rare to find place of any size which
is not well lighted by the power of
some mountain stream.
At Montreux the electric tramway
gets its power in this way, and from
the old Roman town of Vevey to
the medieval castle of Chillon one
may ride in trolley car propelled
by the power of an insignificant lit
tie stream which may or may not
be noticed when climbing up the
hillsides just above.
The capabilities of this general
utilization of natural power are be
ginning to be understood every
where, and, with the appreciation of
the possibilities of the best methods
of long distance transmission. the
development of many mountain
streams must surely come. There
are innumerable streams, which,
while very small, are yet very high,
and these can, with comparatively
little difficulty, be impounded and
carried down many hundreds of
feet thus making up for their lack
of volume by the great pressure
readily obtainable, and, either by
the use of electricity or compressed
air, the power may be transmitted
to many points of application with
but little loss.-Cassier's Magazine.
