ing is as far away Us ever. The fellow
who invented the stove that saves half
the fuel has not yet succeeded in making
one to save the other half. i am remind
led Of this from the fact that an old ac.
iqualntance OF mine showed methe draw
iings OF a new stove he had just got pat
ented which he said would make hun
dred thousand dollars III the next two
years, ii would just 20 into its manu-
facture That's too much money; could,
MT possibly usait. II we poor mortals
in the west conld Luy fuel at the price
here We would he willing 10 let a stove
stay red day and night. Hooking VAL
ley is delivered at $3.50 aud hard Goals
at sEs.TT5. The latter was sold earlier at
so cents less. Tho steam boilers for
heating and manufacturing purposes use
coal which costs about S115 OH track.
But the advantages of the cost of living
Is on our side, taken as 4, whole. Meat
is positiyelya a luxury except with the
well-to.do all over the east-poultry the
same. There is many a famllYin fairly
comfortable circumstances that have al
most forgotten what roast looks like,
while q porter house steak ism 7 TO be
thought Of. Butter sells for % cents.
When westerner strikes some OF these
old eastern cities with their growth of a
century and their future al behind
them, lie cannot help Tut Wcnder how
some people live, with no visible means
OF support, and mt best with the most
ineagre of incomes. Oh, well. shall not
give e.myself the headache trying to ,ig-
ureitout. 1t is funny, though, tie idea
possessed by so many that there is only
one place to live. They are about on a
par with another class who arhneyer
satisfied. wherever they are and think
that particular place of ahuae is the.
worst ever
Politics are getting red hDt--aHl If
there Is one state in the Union where
politics are noted as such, it is Ohio.
There is a triangular fight hero between
Mclean, the Democratic nominee, J.nes
the Democratic mayor Of Toledo, lunning
as an independent candi,hltc, and Nash,
the Republican standard bnarpr. Tie
natnra! snpposi'ion would be that Jones
would hurt Mclean more than Nnsh,
bGt others say not. Atanv rate Jonss is
drawing big crowds and keeping Hanna
and Mclean ftom taking much sleer.
Jones is a man after the Pingree style.
lie was elected mayor OF 1u!,io with Il
tremendous majority against colnbin-
alton ofmechine democrats a,l Rapub-
licans. t.is far from likely. however,
that he will cut great deal Of ice in the
coming election against tn ID Repub.
lican bulwark in this state on the one
hand and McIeans millions Oh The other.
They are putting in a system OF light
ing stores, hotels and similar places of
business here which makes tile best and
prettiest light ] have seen vet. 1t is a
gasoline light but tho gas is fed to the
burners through an Ia inch lin pipe
from the machine placed on a bracket
at some convenient tout-of-the-way place
in the building. The burners are Of the
same construction MS those on the gaso-
line lamps introduced in our section Of
the country, but some larger, and they
give not only much more brilliant

an absence Of that ghostly glare 50 OBJ

cess. 1t is not only the best light out,
but economical. The new light makes
the incandescent lights look sick.
