About a century g prickly pears We're
introduced into Australia by the gov
ernor, and the climate proved so favor
able that they have spread wonderfully,
becoming such weed pests that they have
caused much abandonment of good land.
1t is now found that six species of these
plants nave become naturalized weeds
in that country.

An interesting investigation Of the sta
bility of motion of a bicycle has been
made by Mr.. T.. j. w. Whipple, of Trim
ity College, Cambridge, Eng. He finds
four critical velocities connected with
this stability, these veloclties with a ty-
pical machine appearing to be about 12.2,
1914, S.5 and IA miles per hour, but being
not easy calculated for any given ma
chime At greater velocities than the
first, motion is unstable, requiring turn
ing of the first wheel toward the side of
falling or bending the body away from
it. Between the first and second Veloci-
ties, the motion is stable, even without
moving the body or using the handles;
and between the second and third, it is
stable when the body is slightly moved
in the same direction as the fall. Be-
tween the second and fourth, it is stable
with very slight movement of the ham
dies.

An illustration of the pitfalls that con-
front scientific students is given by DR..
Martin Flicker, a German bacteriOlOglst
Among various sources of error in work
with bacteria is the glass of the vessels
used, as different kinds of glass impart
varying degrees of alkalinity to water,
and it is found that some bacteria-no
tably those of cholera-are favorably at
fected by alkalinity. This novel cause
seems responsible for marked and i'm
portant discrepancies.

great corporations will be on the
side of the administration. And
why should they not? Their inter
ests will surely not suffer while the
present regime continues. When
the people of the state demand that
the railroad and warehouse com
mission be given certain powers to
protect their interests and Repub-
lican legislature grants them it is
very nice to haye Populist govern
or to veto them The governor in
his message talked against railroad
passes and yet it has been stated
that he himself rode on pass when
he came from Madison, Wis, with
that very message in his pocket.
We don't know whether he did Or
not, but when the governor feels he
is wronged he generally sends outa
circular letter to that effect. He did
not issue one in that instance. Say
what you will, if you get on the in
side Of things you will find that the
Populist party is strong with the
corporations.
Gov. Lind isreceivinga great deal
OF unfavorable criticism on account
of his Minneapolis speech and men
who seldom say word against the
governor, or who commend him gen
orally, are sorely displeased, be-
cause he failed to extend welcome
to President Mckinley on behalf of
the state and because he introduced
partisan politics in his remarks.
The following gives an idea Of
what is thought of the governor S
speech by the leading papers
throughout the state
1T is not surprising that there
should be disappointment and in
dignation over the fact that Gov.
Lind, who by virtue of his position
was asked and expected to extend
on behalf of the citizens of this state
formal welcome to President Nc
Kinley and the members of the Thir-
teenth, should have not only stu
diously avoided all expressions of
pleasure or qualification over the
honor conferred in the visit of the
nation S chief executive to Minnesota
but even failed to mention the pres
ident $ name. To make matters still
worse. and add chagrin to morttica-

Needed for Present Purposes.
The Gulf & Manitoba railroad
stock company took jump upward
during the past week, by reason of
the announcement on the part of the
officers that the company had all
the money needed to at once grade
the line, and tie and track the same
between this point and the Milwau-
kee railroad, and that work on the
line would be rushed from this time
forward AS evidence of their
statement they last Monday liqui-
dated in full for the pay rolls for
the preceding month.
1t is now no secret that there was
Slight hitch in the construction of
the line, on account of certain stock
holders refuing to pay in the amount
required of them, and for the settle
ment of the September pay rolls one
of the officers was relied on. the
officials expecting that plenty of
money would be Forthcoming after
the September pay rolls had been
adjusted. The official in question.
however, who left here several
weeks ago, failed to show up with
the funds on Oct. 18th, and this
made it necessary for Gov. Camp
bell to leave for Des Moines couple
of weeks ago and raise temporary
funds. On last Tuesday he wired
Secretary Bell enough money to
the pay rolls, and also
the information that all of
the money necessary to build the
line from here to the Milwaukee
railroad was in the treasury, and
subject to check. By the time that
the road is built to the Milwaukee
road the company expects to have
the big loan which a representative
is now engaged in negotiating for in
London.
Gov. Campbell returned from
DesMoines on Wednesday morning,
and was NOR. than pleased over the
success of his visit, and at once
commenced to negotiate for the
way from the Minnesota riv-
er to the St. Louis tracks, for which
quite a large sum has been asked,
according to the officials, and there
is some doubt whether condcmna-
ton proceedings will be necessary,
or not
In the meantime contractor King
has been having his men smooth up
the grade from the north side of the
Minnesota river to Beaver Falls.
and this work was completed last
Thursday evening, and the graders
put to work on this side of the
river on the following day.
Mr.. Campbell stated that, during
his absense, he sold several lots in
the new Beaver Falls townsite, in
one case an entire block being sold
to one party.

Neyt dry there was cabbage in the
soups and cabbage in the stew, and by
tile third day the whole culinary depart
I:ent by order was conducted on the ba-

after weeks stop the novelist had
sichened of it and announced his inten-

His Money Made Good.

Some time ago man having $500 in
fresh government notes put the roll of
money into the pocket of his nightshirt
upon going to bed. He went off the next
morning without thinking OF what he had
done. and his wife sent the garment that
day, with other articles, to steam laun-
dry.
Before the man realized it his money
was being churned in the great washing
machines and it had already been soaked
i'll soapsuds. The bills were found re-
duced almost to pulp. and yet the ex-
perts in the redemption division of the
treasury ut Washington. where they were
sent, could pick out enough pieces, bit by
bit. to be sure of their number and de-
nominations.
Then they gave the man new bills in
place of those which had been so nearly
destroyed. for this is one of the duties Of
the redemption division.

A HORSE OBITUARY.

He was called Bob for short but he
belonged to one of the aristocratic
families of France and his noble birth
and fine qualities entitled him to be
called Robert Ramboulay. two lin
item in this paper announced his death
on the night of Tuesday. October 10. He
was only horse. yet horse has so
many good human traits and is such
faithful and helpful friend and compan-
ion of man that we think that many of
them truly deserve more glowing
obituary than some men. This one does
most assuredly. Jas. l.. Haynes, his
owner-nay, his brother and associate
feels quite disconsoiate and mopes and
grieves while he never ceases 20 talk
of Bob's splendid qualities. his many
virtues and his Astounding horse sense.
He firmly believes that If there is a
horse heaven Bob is there, one of the
shining ones. He procured a suitable
spot down in Doc Nincents pasture ana
gave him honorable sepulture.
Bob Ramboulay was born in France
eighteen year ago and was brought to
this country by Humbert. of Corning.
Mr.. Haynes bought him fourteen years
ago, paving $500 for him, and they
master and horse, have been INSOFAR
able companions ever since. Bob was
very affectionate. he knew jim and
| loved him with brothers love, would
come to him in any crowd and never

AN IOWA PRAIRIE FIRE.

lFocanOntaS RecOrd.J
The people of Pocahontas were
thrown into wild state of excitement
last Sunday afternoon 1.-THE 14thl when
they saw vast clouos of smoke in the
east. A terrible wind was sweeping
across the country and it was feared
that had fire broken out immense dam
age would be done. Conveyances of all
kinds were soon hurrying east, but the
occupants saw that it was a prairie fire
and that II was travelling at great
speed. The first scene OF the fire was
down in Lincoln township, where 1t
crossed the farm of Mr.. Henneberry.
AS soon as Mr.. H. saw the fire he and
his two boys went out to pillow fire
breaks and to stop the fire before it
reached his buildings. The fire came
with such speed that 1t caught one boy
and the team while blowing the fur
row. The boy tried to drive the team
out of the track of the fire. but the team
became frightened and unmanageable
and the boy started to run to save him
SELF and near the edge of the path of
the fire he was overcome by the heat
and smoke and fell to the ground. For
tunately his brother saw him and
pulled him to a place of safety before
the flames reached him. After the fire
had passed the horses were lying on
the ground and one of them soon after
died from the effects of the fire but 1t
is hoped that the other can be saved.
Mr.. Henneberry lost 1900 bushels OF
oats, some hay and farm machinery.
The fire ran on north, passing across
H. r. DeWall's farm, Geo. Pascafs,
and the farm occupied by Joe Wolf,
where considerable hay was consumed
II. then passed on to Jas. Erals farm
where it consumed a barn with its con-
tents, which included about twelve
hundred bushels of oats and some farm
machinery. Going on north 1T struck
Frank Erals place where hog house
and several other small buildings We're
consumed. The fire continued on north
until it struck the Lizard creek where
the fuel played out.
