destroying agent" If Mr.. Brown, or
the party who wrote the article, had
the slightest knowledge of electricity
they would have never made such a
break. AS the insulotion does not rub
off inside OF building and crossed
wires do no harm if the insulation is
perfect and if it is not perfect the cur
rent will burn the wires in two and fall
in the street cutting the building out
entirely. The fuses are made in diff.
ferent sizes according to the number OF
lights installed and if an access OF
current to exceed one more lamp lie
added to that fuse it will melt and cut
the current from the building, and as
each building has from four to six fuses
it is surprising to know that the de-
stroying action of the whole plant
still continues. Again he says that
electricity has been in existance for 80
years when it was less than 20 years
ago when Mr.. Brush got up his arc
lamp. We would like Mr.. Brown to
know that we were told of the explos-
ion by dozen business m an before we
saw it in print and thought they were
just fooling until one of them gave US
the Argus-L Leader with the account as
it was printed in THE REPUBLICAN.
We do not desire to interfere with Mr..
Brown and his wonderful machines and
will not if he has the sense to let us and
our lights alone. But if he wants to
keep it up, all right. We have plenty
of material and can fight back.

FROM SCOUT TO PREACHER.
Rev. MI. Havens Is Ordained az a Minis
ter of the baptist Church.

Rev. Mr. Havens is Ordained as Minis
ter of the Baptist Church.
At Centerville last week W. w.
aavens, of this city WAS ordained a
minister of the Baptist church, and
this announcement will come with
some surprise to many who are &C.
quainted with the gentleman in this
city. For year or more Mr.. Havens
has been lecturing and working under
the auspices of the Anti-Saloon Lsague,
in which work he is saio to have been
very successful. 1t is stated that in
the days of Custer Mr.. Havens was a
soldier and scout in the west, and also
was soldier in the civil war, and has
lived in the west ever since. After
his conversion some four or five years
ago he joined the Methodist church
and was given an exhorter's license to
preach. Because of his age Mr.. Hav.
ems could not be taken into the Meth.
odist conference as regular minister,

and most successful specialist in his line. There
are several reasons for DR.. Hathaway's great sue
cess. His early training was of the first order.
He was graduated from one of the leading medi-
cal colleges of the country and rounded out this
thorough scientific course by extensive hospital
practice. During this time he made many i'm
portant discoveries in medicines and surgery
which formed the basis of his system of treat
ment, a system which he has since developed
into the perfect form which he administers

for the reason that when y man reaches
the age OF IS he is barred from joining
the conference as the supersnnuate list
would increase faster than the con-
ferencv could take care of the retired
ministers. Mr.. Havens was desirous of
engaging in the full duties of the
ministers and 80 sought the fellowship
and authority of the Baptist denom-
ination He was recently elected as
chaplain of the South Dskota depart
ment G. A. r. Mr.. Havens will con-
tinue in the anti-saloon league work
for another year.

sections OF the country, filled with words of graf

those whose cases had been pronounced hopeless
by other physicians.

South Dakota will not be outdone by

sympathy and high appreciation the
people of this state have for them,
writes q Huron correspondent. The
record ma de by the regiment since be-
ing mustered into service on May Is Of
last year is second to no other regi-
ment in the Philippine war. The regi-
ment had 1,00S men at the time of mus
ter in, and have been engaged in II bat
ties, viz: Manila, on Feb. 5: Malabon,
on March 25: Palo, March 26; Meycan-

Boeva and Bigua, March 20; Guinguito

score Of lesser engagements. The regi-
ment was l26 days on the firing line,
and ia all the loss was % killed in
action, four died of wounds, one was
drowned and 90 died of disease. OF the
wounded and sick returned to San
Francisco on the Morgan City, III and
on the relief, %. On the Sheridan on
their way home are about 700 all told.
Some sick were left at Manila, and
some now en- ronte will remain in San
Francisco until able to make the
journey home. With such record it
is no wonder that the people OF South
Dakota are proud of their soldier boys
and nothing will be to good for them
when they arrive again on shore at San
Francisco, and greater will be the
honor bestowed upon them when they
reach home.

LANDS WE'RE NOT RAISED.

Dawson County Real Estate Not Raised
by the State Board of Equalization.
County Auditor Anderson has re-
ceived notice from the state board OF
equalization that the assessment on
lands and lots in Dawson county was

property, however, the county did not
escape so lightly, and the percentage Of
increase is given as was raised by the
state board: merchandise 80: man
ufactures 20; horses 40: cattle l3O:

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Hearing In HaI tford on the Bill to Re-
peal Its Charter.

Hartford, March 22.--The temperance
committee this afternoon granted a
hearing on the bill before the general
assembly to repeal the charter of the
State Law and Order league. The hall
of the house where the hearing was
held was crowded to it's utmost capac-
ity, both sides being there in apparently
equal numbers. Throughout the hear
ing personalities were freely indulged
in, and at times the uproar caused by
the adherents of one side or the other
as points were scored became disorderly
and Senator Jackson was compelled to
interpose admonitions to keep order.
The league was violently arraigned by
Attorney Dannaher of Merlden, Attor-
ney Rollin Tyler of Haddam, ex-Repre-
sentative Barrett of Hartford and Alex
ander Troup of New Haven The lat
ter speaker caused sensation by his
charges that the league did not do the
work it claimed to do in New Haven,
and that illegal selling of liquor was go
ing on continuously in the clubs of the
city and yet no steps had been taken to
prosecute. Secretary Thrasher and At
torney e. P, Arvine, counsel for the
league, gave an extended history of the
work of the organization, and Agent
McClair, who has for four years con-
Quoted most of the liquor raids, was put
on the stand to contradict the state
ments of the petitioners as to high
handed measures pursued in the prose-
cutions and in the attempts to gather
evidence. The claim was made that the
state treasury has been enriched by
the fines paid and bonds forfeited
through the work of the organization
to an amount exceeding 100000 and
without cent of expense to the state.
Agent McClair testified that the asser-
ton that he has induced violators to
sell him liquor for the purpose OF pros
ecuting them was untrue. He has at
no time, he said, secured evidence ex-
cept as any bona fide customer would
Secretary Thrasher tried to have the
oath administered to all witnesses, but
this was overruled by the committee.

feature of which was a bitter encounter
between Assemblymen Hamburger and

Mr.. Hamburger referred to the alleged

the latter was a police commissioner.

Undoubtedly Mr.. Bryan will be the

COMMITTEE ON ORDINANCEs. +
Matters Considered at Last Nights meet-
ing Recommendations Made.


fnV-Recommendat Made.
The committee on ordinances met last
night and held hearings on several
matters which had been referred a
number of Third ward residents ap-
peared to- favor the contraction of the
present fire limits in that ward, ana
the committee voted to recommend that
the limits be established as follows in
the section of the city where the change
is desired: Beginning at the intersec-
tion of West Water street with the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad, and thence following the
tracks of said railroad to Howard ave-
nue., through the center Of Howard
avenue to the center of Washington
street, through the center of Washing
ton street to the Center Of Daggett
street. through the center of Daggett
street to the center Of Congress avenue,
through the center of Congress avenue
to the center of Ward street to a. point
200 feet north of the center line OF Con-
gress avenue.
Among those who appeared to favor
the change Of fire limits were Alderman
Corcoran and James e. McGann. They
stated that it was hardship to own
ers of vacant lots in their section Of
the city to have their lots included
within the fire limits and they were un-
able thereby to build on those lots any
frame buildings, and could not sell the
lots as no one. wanted them with the
requirement that If the lots were built
upon, the buildings must be Of brick.
The committee also voted to recom-
mend the passage of an ordinance per-
mitting cows to be kept within the city
limits if permission was obtained by
the owner from the board Of health, but
requiring that no swine may be kept
within 150 feet of premises not owned
by the owner of the swine. 1t was de-
cided to recommend an amendment Of
the tax abatement ordinance so that It
will conform with the statutes.
The petition Of Anthony Carroll con-
cerning inspection of the records Of the
police department were before the COM
mittee and it was decided to request
an opinion from the corporation coun-
sci as to whether or not the police rec
ords were city or state records, and
or not the common council
had the authority to pass an ordi-
nance concerning public inspection Of
the books and records Of the depart
ment.
When the regular hour for the meet
ing of the committee arrived last night
the only member present was Alderman
Dewell, the chairman. He sent out
for other members of the
committee and managed to secure the
of Alderman Cooley and
Councilmen Hall and Siade.
