A DlabOlIcal Invention,

Details are given of an invention
which fills us with dismay. Accord
ing to the account furnished by tho
in INVENTOR, his new photographic voice
trumpet magnifies musical and vocal
sounds in such volume as to render
them uncomfortable in room and sat-
istactorily distinct two miles off. In
time he hopes to extend the stentoro.
phOnic capacity Of this terrible
trumpet to thrice that distance. His
first idea was to enable ship captains
TO converse in a heavy sea fog or at
night. Now, however, no has real
lied that by the aid Of his sound
magnitier telephones can be made
which will allow political speaker
or professional vocalist to entertain
three ofssfont audiences seated in
halls wide apart at one and the same
time. Tho power which is thus plac.
cd in the hands of those who are
fond OF hearing their own voices il
nothing short Of devastating. Imag

ing switched" onto the workine
quarters. or Of Sir Ellis Aehmeat

When Making n New Hon.


Calculate in advance not only the
cost of building the house, but the
added cost of furnishing t.when fin.
ished,. and keep within your means.
But if the error is made, don't double
it by furnishing temporarily in the
hope of some day doing it over again.
1t is nue.. the better policy to start
with everything good, even if that
means to be. short a few pieces, for a
good start demands q good continu-
ance; to- fill a. house with things one
doesn't like, on the plea of tempo
rary," is to invite years-perhaps life
time-of living without that keenest
and most constant of all pleasures

gestion worth following is to concen-
trate the family birthday and holiday
gifts on the furnishing Ola room; in a
remarkably short time the seemingly
unattafnabls is attained, and the doing

RICHARD p. BLAND.

Congressman Richard P. Bland
died at his home at Lebanon, Mis-
sonri, at an early hour Friday morn
ing. When he ceased to live another
name waS added to the roll Of our il
lustrious dead.
Congressman Bland was born in
Hartford, Kentucky, August 10, 1895
At;an early age he removed to Mis-
sour. In the early sixties he came
to Nevada and settled in Virginia
city. Here he practical law for sev.
orsl years AID then returned to Mis-.
souri,. In 1872 he was elected tO
Congress and has been reelected
evory term since. except the term
beginning March 4, 1895, having been
defeated in 1894. In 1896 he was
again elected.
Ills work in Congress will be chief
" remem +red for the firm and TN
flinching stand he took in favor Of
tho reconciliation of silver. He be-
ieved the best interests OF the coun-
try demanded the opening of the
mints to silver on the same terms &c
corded to gold. Honest and con-
scientious in this belief, calumny and
abuse coull not swerve him from the
path Of duty.
In his death the advocates of BIZ
metallism have loss an earnest CO.
worker and the country a faithful
public servant. His voice will he no
longer hear in the councils of the
Nation, but the memory of his rug
ged worth and e1 ltei patriotism
Will endure forever.

Small fires are raging III this and ad-

rain does not come to extingulsh them
soon and with the advent OF high winds
these fires will prove very destructive
and dangerous to those communities.
For the past few years, it has become
the custom with many of our farmers to
thresh part of their crop in the fields.
Evidently the pea crop requires large
storage room and if threshed on the field
saves much time, labor and expense for
the farmer.
The English sparrow has become this
summer an open pest and proven itself
nuisance to many farmers in this neigh
borhood. Their large numbers and their
differing operations on ripe grain and
especially that near groves, shady and
ornamental trees, cannot be passed I'M
observed In number of instances
shocks of grain have been completely
destroyed by them

THE price of beef has recently advanc-
ed to Il remarkable degree and all but
the consumers thereof are enjoying Il
period of prosperity The cattle raisers
of the West and South West are receiv-
ing from forty to fifty dollars per head
live weight for animals weighing 1000
pounds, while Chicago wholesalers are
forced to pay So 40 per hundred for beef
on the hoof, which price, together with
their own profits, which must necessari-
" be considered, forces the retailer to
charge fancy prices for even the poorer
cuts of meat
The advance will be welcome one to
live stock raisers among our farmers, but
it will have "a tendency to make vege-
tarians of the poorer classes of people
who dwell i'll the cities.

When you buy farm, or build fac
tory, it is natural to consider all condi-
tons and to locate to the very best ad-
vantage In the northern portion of
Wisconsin their lies vast stretch of I'M
developed or partially developed coun-
try, which is awaiting the settler and
manufacturer to turn it into productive
ness and wealth
Thousands of acres of rich lands Gov
cred with fine hardwood timber are open
to the settler, who can obtain as much as
he desires at very reasonable figures and
upon easy terms. Improvements, such
as school houses and roads are being
pushed and ten years of progress will
make an astonishing change.
The earth's rich deposits of iron ore,
clay, kaolin and mari, together with
hardwood timber, easily supply the wants
of the manufacturer and offer fine in
ducement for the location of plant or
factory.
The Wisconsin Railway Co. running
through this rich timber and mineral
belt has opened it to the world by offer
ing quick and cheap transit to the prin-
cipal markets of the country.
If you are interested complete descrip-
tons, maps and phamphlets will be sent
upon application to,

THE Albert Landreth Co. has given
$500 toward the display fountain to be
erected in Washington Park, thus again
showing the charitable qualities which
it has shown in the past. Sinceit sprang
into existence, the company has been
most generous in all matters pertaining
to the public good. and on all occasions
has shown true public spirit.
The Company has signiied its willing
ness to give $500 toward the Library
Fund, thus helping to place books within
the reach of those who would otherwise
be unable to enjoy them.
A short time ago the company con-
tributed 5000 toward the new Polish
CHURCH, and showed that its philanthropy
lie tendency is not confined to one sphere,
TIE company pays out annually $50, 900
in wages, most of which is earned by the
families of the laboring classes.
The company intends to build large
warehouse in the near future ON the
property it recently bought of Mrs. Pilz.
This will increase the taxable property
of the city considerably. Heretofore the
company has been storing its peas in
Chicago warehouses, but as soon as the
new warehouse is completed this will
cease.
