Last Monday evening when big
black thunder cloud wasyrearing itself in
the west and hanging like a threatening
pail over the town, lyhen ominous thun-
der appeared to ~ training it's heavy
artillery for action and when the light
ning's glare blinded those who looked
out on the scene, then, us il to unstring
the nerves and add confusion to the dan
ger, the fire bell rang out it's dangerous,
startling notes. The company quickly
responded only to discover little later
that somebody down towards the N. w.
depot had let bonfire finger little
and be famed by the wind. No damage
resulted but the wildness of the scene
will be remembered.

Nevada Minister'S Protest.

The Minister'S Alliance, at Nevada,
No, have published O number OF
"whereases' and resolutions in regard
to magnetic healing. They say the doc.
trine has entered the realm Of theology,
and they feel 1t their duty to send on,
the following resolutions:
Therefore, in obedience 10 our sacred
trust, and In the interest OF humanity
both here and hereafter, in calmness OF
reflection and meditation, We adopt and
publish the following resolutions.
l.. We, the undersigned, ministers OF
the Gospel, and residents OF this city,
feel called upon In the interest Of truth
and morality TO give this public state
ment Of our views concerning the 40
called Magnetic Healing which /.
practiced in our city.
As far as we can learn from published
statements, and otherwise, the doctrine.
promulgated seem TO he an Ignoran,
compound Of spiritualism, c%lairyOyancy
and Christian Science all Of which
we believe 10 be false, and antagOnistic
to the Christian Religion, and hurtful tC
morality.
2. The published references 10 the
Holy Scriptures which we have seen are
In our most candid judgment CARRIED
or are used out Of their proper connec.
ton. or n foolishly and ignorantlS
misinterpreted.
s. The p~retensiOns, by the so-calleC
Magnetic Healers, 10 the use OF an,
power or the knowledge OF any truth
not already known to rational science
we believe TO be false.
We offer this our solemn protest and
warning 70 the people OF this city, and
the community generally solely IN The
interest Of morality and truth.

A sure Enough Boss.

Boss Leland, Of Kansas, makes no
secret of the fact that the verdict Of the
Investigating" committee has been
agreed upon IN advance. In an inter
view IN the republican organ, the
Topeka Capital, Leland says;
81 am sorry that there IS pOpullst
on the committee appointed to investi-
gate Hoffman and Limbocker,n Leland
continued. "why have a pop on the
commiilee7 1t only delays the game,
1t is the duty Of the committee to return
a verdict against the person investi-
gated. We all understand that we
ought TO be Straightforward, have q
committee Of Eve republicans and do
the business in short order. It is the
common law that the sppointive officers
shall change hands with the elective
officers, and the appointeo who hasn't
the decency 10 get out when his
administration is turned down ought to
be removed. That's my view Of the
case"
After the agricultural college has
been ''iaken out Of politics" BY being
made republican kindergarten, Taylor
Riddle is on the program as the next
populist office holder to walk the plank,
Mr.. Riddles presence in Office il doubly
obnoxious TO the republicans by virtue
Of his beng chairman Of the populist
state central committee.
Ii is SAID Warden lands has been
given until May LIST to resign. II he
does not step down by that time he
will be ''investigated" and fired. That
his management Of the %penitsntiary
has been absolutely above reProach
makes no difference with the republi-
cans.
Cy Leland claims to have typewritien
documentary evidence in his possession
that is ample to secure the removal Of
Regent Rogers Of the state university.
Just as though any "~eyidence'' was
needed. He admits the evidence
cost HIM $500. 1t is just as apparent,
although not admitted, that Cy intends
TO get that $500 back somehow.

Electric Lights and waterworxs.

Mr.. F. l.. Dnffen, Of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Municipal Construction
Company" was here Monday and Tues
day, to confer with our citizens in re-
gard TO the desira5ility of our people to
buy and operate the w~aterworks and
the electric light plant. Mr.. Draffen
said he had conferred with the officers
Of both companies, and had an option
on both plants
His proposition was made TO the city
council Monday night. The council
appointed q committee OF three menu
bers and Eve citizens to hear Mr.. Draft
fen at more length, at another time and
place. The gentlemen composing the
committee selected the Office Of Catron
Il Taubman as the place, and Tuesday
night as the time, when Mr.. Dmffen
could explain his proposition. Several
other citizens were invited to be present
at the meeting.
The meeting was held, there being
less than a dozen persons present. Mr..
Draifen proposed that he would buy the
waterworks plant and the electric light
plant; that he would consolidate the two
plants; that be would expend about
$1,000 on improvements, and turn the
consolidated works over to the city. In
return for the two plants the city was to
guarantee to pay him s., 500 per year for
twenty years, at which time the city
would become absolute owner Of the
plants.
Taking the present revenue from the
two plants as a basis for his figures, he
said the income now amounts to 81, 600,
Of which sum the city now pays 81, 800.
He could not give figures as to the cost
Of running the plants separately; but, il
combined, they could be run for $40, 900
per year. He agreed to run the plants
one year for n,0c0. He thought that
by consolidating the costs would be re-
duced, and more customers secured,
running the receipts up to $4,000 per
year. He proposed that as soon as the
works were consolidated and the i'm
poyeu.ents completed, the city should
take and operate the works, collect the
revenue, and pay it over to a trustee.
After paying the operating expenses,
and paying him $500 per year, the bal
ance could go Is a repair and sinking
fund.
The committee listened patiently, and
asked many questions. Those present
we're called upon to express an opinion
Of the matter, and all did 30, and each
one was opposed to the offer.
Mr.. Draffen left for Chicago Wednes-
day. lie says he may return soon.

Lafayette County Reading Circle.

Lafayette county Reading Circle.
The Lafayette County Reading Circle
met in this city last Saturday. There
were some forty-hye or Fifty enthusiastic
teachers present. The morning hour
was devoted to Historical Readings
in charge Of Supt. Demand.
In the discussion many interesting
incidents, in such characters as Mary
Stuart, Napoleon, Henry VIII, Anne
BOleyn, Elizabeth, Joan Of Arc, ScipiO,
Hannibal and many Others, were brought
out. Such events as the defeat of the
Spanish Armada and the battle Of
Hastings, with its effect on England,
we're also well considered.
After noon, the first thing on the
program was "History of Education
conducted by Supt. Sebring. The old
and new education received special
attention. Such refOrmers Of Comenius
Locke, Pestalozzi, Froebel and other
with the effects Of their labor upon tbt
times, were brought out clearly.
Needed School Legislation" was ther
taken up by Prof. j. X. Fletcher. The
subject was briefly outlined by the
leader, and quite a lively discussion
followed, which was entered into b,
many Of the teachers.
Commissioner Phillips then took ut
subject, County Course OF Study" Il
seems from his report that about twenty
districts have taken up the course, ant
that quite a number Of certificates will
be issued this spring. The object of TIM
work Is to have a uniform course in ali
country districts. Graduates then from
these schools may enter our city higl
schools OF colleges without further
examination.
Take It all in all the day was wei
spent. The visitors were entertained al
