1t il altogether likely that the Pull
man Palace Car Co. will soon begin
the erection of additional buildings at
the plant over Eleventh street bridge
The company oEns about % acres OF
ground, extending from Twelfth street
on the north to the BraudxEine on the
south and from the r., W & 3. rail-
road on the vest 10 the property Of the
Chicago Wire Gu, on the east, and as
only a PORTION Of it is occupied By
buildings there ia ample room foE
development. Much Of the vacant land
is used for tracks for the storage OF
cars. the buildings now on the ground
are large, hut it is understood the com
pany is considering the advisability OF
adding such buildings as will nearly
double the present capacity OF the
plant.
There is so much work on hand-and
the condition has been this way for
some time e-that the buildings are taxed
to their utmost to accommodate the
workmen, while everything that can
be done outside of the shops, in the
yards, is being done that way. The
capacity Of the plant is taxed more
than ever before. The Wilmington
plant is the only place in the East for
the company's cars TO be repaired, and
a. the railroad business is growing and
more Pullman ears are being used each
year, it is only natural that the bust
ness should erow. The growth is
healthy AID is likely to continue to
such an extent as to make larger
quarters necessary very soon. There
are now about so men on the payrolis
here, and last month the shops turned
out work valued at more than 500, 500.
.At present only repair work is done
here, but it is likely that cars would
be built here il the shops were large
enough, as the Chicago shops, where
car building is in progress, are taxed
70 their utmost caracity.

The Town in Darkness and Without a Police
msn-Caused by strike.
Newark, April 2l.-There was an ex
citing time here last evening. Superin
.andent Shew OF the Light and Water
Department, Engineer Beltz of the light
and water plant and Policeman Murray
all went on a strike, leaving the town
in darkness and without policeman.
Superintendent Shew failed Of re-
election at a meeting OF tine Council on
Tuesday night, ana did not receive
notice when his successor, Arthur
Homewood of Wilmington, would enter
upon his duties. Mr.. Homewood has
not get arrived in town, and Mr.. Shew
stopped work Immediately. The Council
postponed the election of an engineer
until the next meeting. Mr.. Beltz sus-
pecting that he would not be reelected,
drew the fire from the engine, and re-
fused to work any longer. Mr.. Murray
was to be relieved as policeman on May
lst, but he, receiving an offer as night
watchman at the organ factory, ac-
cepted il, and entered npon his new
duties Immediately. No one knew OF
the action Of Superintendent Shew and
Engineer Beltz until they were seen
1 taking walk about the time the lights
should hr turned on. The boys cele-
i prated the news of Policeman MURRAY s
retirement by firing huge crackers
throughout the town.
Public sentiment was divided in its
sympathies. Several citizens were 10
favor Of retaining the old employees,
while others were not.
Many citizens desire that the water
and light supply be managed by a
| private corporation. Such proposition
has been made to the Council, but nc
action has yet been taken upon it. The
reports show that the lighting is rur
| with profit Of several hundred dollars,
while the water supply, including frs
| protection, is run at loss. 1t i:
thought that private corporation,
with expert management, could suppl!
both with a fair profit to itself, and t.
the better satisfaction Of the consumers

WISE PARAGRAPHS.

THE crucible," in the Penny Magazine for
April
Friendship is too often only an eleva-
tion where men stand to see you better,
in order to be able to hurt you more.
We often give another strength by
leaning upon him.
To be learned is to have n full reser-
voir; to be wise is to have an unfailing
spring.
Confidence is born of ignorance, but
it becomes the father Of knowledge.
Be disappointment in love ever so
great the fact remains that there are
other things to think about sometimes.
Some men see all things as indi-
viduals, others see things only in
groups, while he with tho really great
mind separates such an individual as
he wishes to study and makes all else
back ground. The power TO do this is
genius.
Many untruths are like hies-they are
allowed to live simply because it is too
much trouble to chase them down and
kill them.
A poor man who is positive is re
garded as an ass; rich man who is
positive is regarded as n genius.
If some men were as great as they
think themselves others would gladly
pay an admission price to sec them
The man who tells you that he knows
| all his faults will argue an hour with
| you trying to prove that his chie
weakness is his greatest virtue.
If we could see ourselves as other;
see us we'd probably look the othel
| way.
The laws of society prevent. men a
both extremes from showing what the.
really are.
Possession is great thing, but tenn
porary use of the other fellows posses
sions often gives more pleasure thai
the owner gets from them.

ms DAY orr.

He was sober-minded clerk,
Who never missed day;
He seemed to merely live to work,
He ne'er indnlged in play;
Month after month he toiled along,
lie always did his best.
And though he was not over strong,
He never cared 10 rest.
His grandma ne'er fell Ill when there
Were games Of ball in town;
He had no wish To luiter where
Men knocked each other down;
He had no love for golf nor wheels,
He cared not for croquet
But, hardly taking time for meals,
He always worked away.
A circus came to town last night;
With gilded chariots, and
Its massive tents are cleaning white;
Hark Don't YOU hear the band?
The man who always worked away
Who has a boy Of three,
Is missing from his desk today,
Oh, where, oh, where, is he?

ZEN ETI4S GLASS.
fits Fragile Beauty Unsurpassed by Modern


An article in the Woman's Homo
Companion presents the claims Of the
Venetian glassmakers to highest recog
milton in art.
Venetian glass owes its, extreme
thinncss and lightness to tho want
OF lead in its composition. All the
ornamental shapes were blown, and
owed their beauty to the skilful manip-
ulation of the worker, whose delicacy
of touch and artistic taste were often
heritage from generations of glass
blowing ancestors. The most priced
of the Venetian productions was the
beautiful 'vitro-di- trina, or lace glass,
generally known as filigreo OF this
there are two kinds, the .ritorto and
the 'reticelli' The former was the
less elaborate and consisted Of single
tube twisted and given spiral direc
ton, the ground of the vessel being of
n different color. The 'rctcelli' de-
signs were more varied. Sometimes the
twisted tubes were powdered with gold
| and made vertical horizontal, diagonal
or curved; indeed, every variation was
given that ingenuity could suggest or
| fancy devise.
'Aventurine glass was inventeds by
| the Venetians, its secret being discov
cred by the accidental dropping of
brass or copper filings into d pot of
melted glass, which resulted in the
diffusion of gold specks or threads
throughout the mass. Its name is said
to signify adventure, or resulting from
chance--a word half italian, but coined
probably for the occasion, to denote
the peculiar variety. Marbled or vario-
gated glass was made to resemble
chalcedony, Jasper, lapis lazuli and
tortoise she'll There was a kind Of
green and purple which became red by
the transmission Of light. A frosted
glass which showed an icy coating was
made by dipping the vessel when hall
blown in pounded glass, the particles
of which readily adhered to the warm
mass, which was reheated and wrought
into shape. Sometimes pounded glass
of different colors was used with fine
effect upon the same object. These.
with dclicately gilded glass and some
ornamented with jewel patterns like
those of Damascus, formed the princi.
pal kinds of Venetian glass. which wa:
too thin for engraving and could rarel.
bear enameling. :"

The Temple Quartette.

On Wednesday evening, Noven
Der 18th, the people of Audubon
will be given a treat in the musical
line: The Temple Quartette, con,
sisting of Messrs. Bullock, Weber
Bruce and Willard, was formed in
Boston thirty-two years ago, and is
unqestionably the finest organiza.
ton of its kind in America. Every.
where the quartette goes, it is well
received, and we feel conf
dent that this town will prove nc
exception. The reader for the even.
ing is Miss Elvie Everett Burnett, a
graduate of the Emerson College OF
Oratory. She is very highly rec.
commended by the President of the
College; and by her fine, new and
sympathetic selections, will fully
demonstrate her dramatic ability
This entertainment will be given in
the Methodist church and the ad.
mission will be fifty cents. Tickets
will be on sale at the Library rooms

Broke Jail.

John Frost, who is serving a six
months sentence for breaking Jail,
made his escape again last Satur-
day evening about eight o'clock.
During the day the prisoners are
permitted to be out in the corridor
and are locked in the cell at night.
On this occasion Uncle Marion
Jones went in to lock the cell door
tor the night. AS he opened the
door he asked if they were all in as
usual. One of the prisoners said
they were all in and seeing no one
out supposed it was so and the light
was extinguished, at once, in the
cell so he could not see. The pris-
oners asked him to put down the
window on the north side of the
corridor. AS he was doing this
Frost stepped from his place Of con
cealnent and dashed for liberty in
to the darkness of the night. Ow-
ing to the darkness of the night he
made good his escape. But Sheriff
Jones went after him with his
usual diligence, tracing him to
Marine, where he found he had
taken the train for the west. He
received word Tuesday that the
authorities at Lincoln, Neb., had
him. Sheriff Jones left Tuesday
evening and returned this morn1n o
with his victim.

The annual tax sale will occur the
first Monday in December at the
county treasurer's office. The amount
advertised is small compared with
years gone by and some have been

when compared with former sales.
In another column appears the ad.
OF MIR. 5. Shoemaker, a banker of Fon-
tanelle, Iowa, who has lot of land
for sale in Adair county and IN South
Dakota. Mr.. Shoemaker is constantly
on the lookout for bargains in land,
and 1T not infrequently happens that
he can sell man a farm in his own
neig.hborhood cheaper than he can buy
it without Mr.. Shoemakers' aid.
The member of the X. z. lodge are
intending to give their annual banquet
about New Years. Owing to the small
pox they did not give their banquet
last year, so this year they will doubt
less give one of the finest they have
ever had. These banquets are of a
very high social order and are the
pride OF the members of the lodge and
every one will lend their influence to
the success of the affair.

Fort Dodge Gets a Scare.

FORT DODGE, Ia, Nov. 22.-This city
Is seriously frightened over the small
pox which has broken out in Storm
Lake and elsewhere. The city council
has ordered all school children vacci-
mated and the mayor published notice
advising everyone to do likewise. A
message received here says that a laborer
named Coates, who had been in the in
fected camps at Storm Lake, had come
overland towards Fort Dodge. An Off
Ger was sent out to intercept him and
he will be quarantined if it has not al
ready been done
