Young rIan Is Your Name on the
Check liStI

The youug man as he comes ot age
receives SO signally in no other way the
seal of his new manhood as 10y his in
heritance of the right of franchise. lie
may he earning his living before the
magic year of one and twenty is reachedi
or circumstances may keep him from
strict financial independence until after
that age. But when his name Is on the
list of voters. and he gains the right to
go up to the polling booth Oh election
day and demand his ballot, he becomes
a man among men and takes his place
with the adult citizens of his country.
And it is manly ambition to be
eager to reach the age of political birth.
A laggard at the gate OF manhood does
not give his friends much promise that
he will do them honour and himself
credit once he has passed the portal and
set out upon the rough-paved and wind
swept highway. There is more to be
hoped of the youth who looks forward
impatiently to the time when he, too.
can help decide the destinies of the ma
ton, preparing himself meantime for
the best possible discharge of the duties
which will then lie in his path by taking
as active an interest in politics as u vote
less youth can.
. No man can keep out of politics.
Politics is the government of the coun-
try in which he lives, and he must take
a share in it. There never was time
before in the history of the country
when it was more important for the
newest blood to make itself felt i'll the
coming political struggle. We are pass
ing through days of crisis, the results OF
which will affect the future of the nation
so long as the youngest voter of today
may live. Hence it is trehly important
that the young men who are coming NJ
should be in position to take at once
an effective part in the settlement of ON
political destiny. But they will only be
able to do so if they take good care now
that their names are on the check list.
1t will be of no use for them to be am
bilious and informed and ready to
"play the man, if they are left off the
list. In that case, he their claim ever
will stand by as hePlessly, while the
young men with more foresight do the
voting, as if they We're boys OF twelve
The duty OF seeing that ones name i,
on the check list should not he put of

EVERY HOUSE RENTED.
Sioux City's Boom the Result OF a
bonus Paid to Industry.

Such strides has Sioux City made
during the last year that at the close or
business April 30 reports show 1t stands
among the first ten packing centers OF
the country and that only one city re-
celpts of hogs exceeded its receipts
That city, Chicago, was only 1000 hogs
ahead of Sioux City. From a capacity
In 1899 for killing 2,4O0 hogs per day
the plants here now have capacity
for killing daily 5000 hogs In winter
when there Is outside refrigeration,
and 1000 hogs daily in summer. This
increase promises TO continue, but In
less agile jumps.
The increase Is largely due to the
opening of the plant formerly used by
the SilberhOrn Packing company, long
idle, by the International Packing com
pany, which received n bonus Of $780,
600.
In April the receipts OF hogs At the
Sioux City stockyards were almost
double that of the April of 1899, being
25.OO1 more tltn in 1899. the total be.
year the increase of hog receipts here
was 1O3, 63S, the total being 25G,312.
The increase in cattle and hog re-
ceipts has had an effect In swelling
the bank clcarings. The clearngs for
the first four months of 1900 were &c.
HASH more than in 1899, the total for
1899 being $4,000, 1GS; for 1900. Sl9,-
2O4 $50.
The increased business at the stock
yards has had another effect, which
may result in people having to live In
tents during midsummer, the demand
for small houses for rent or purchase
far exceeding the supply. Every house
and store or office building in the city,
which covers 40 square miles. has been
rented, and building has begun with an
impetus that has not been known here
during the last ten years.

An Incident That Happened In the
FFanco-PrussiaR War.

IL Is a peculiar circumstance that

the horrors that are inseparahle from
war without fi!nching and wIlh the Ut
most apparent callousness. and the
same men will be struck terrified Icy
single trifiing incident
Every war OF any Importance. partic-
ularly wars between civilized nations,
is prolific In incidents Of trivial charac-
ter In themselves, but so unusual and
unnatural that they appeal TO the nat
ural instructive horror of men more
suddenly and Intensely than perhaps
the main terrors OF days Of carnage
and surrounding scenes OF suffering.
Such an incident Is the one, for exam
pie, which occurred at the battle Of
Worth In the early days of the Franco
Prussian war,
In the heat OF the great battle wing
OF the Prusslan army was charged 10y
the regiments OF French cuiraSSicrs In
the hope OF turning the wing and tacil-
itating the falling back Of the French
Infantry. But the culrassiers were
driven back by the unflinching Prus-
slams. Again the culrassiers charged,
and again they were driven back by
the whitening fire of shot and she'll.
For a third time they came down
again. aud as the enemy waited for
them TO draw nearer horrible, blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians,
and for a moment It looked rs If they
would turn aud fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But In
a moment they had pulled themselves
together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuiraSslcrs.
The sight that terrified the Prussians
appears nothing very much In black

The Right Kind of Candidate.

In conversation with a gentleman
once prominent in Vermont affairs aud
now even more prominent IN political
circles i'm another state, the late Nelson
A. Dingley made the remark that there
were hut two or three members OF the
house of representatives who had more
influence upon their fellow congressman
than did Gen. Grout. Coming rs this
statement did from such source, il was
a most substantial bit of testimony as
to Congressman Grout'S usefulness IN
the position Ia which he had been chosen
for several successive terms. Mr. Ding
lev commented on the Generals eitec-
tiyeness in committee work and his ell
ergy in attending 10 the details of what
ever important congressional business
was on hand. The people of Vermont
appreejate those compliments paid to
their representatives At Washington and
il is lust because Gen. Grout has been 50
influential and useful in the house that
they want him ai6ptfd Senator. 1t is
pretty poor argument which some OF his
opponents are advancing-namely' that
efficient service in the house does not
necessarily guarantee the best sort OF
service in the senate. just the opposite
is true. The success with which one
has fulfilled the duties of responsible"
position is indisputably basis for pub
lie confidence us to his ability to meet
the requirements Of still higher and
more responsible place. Gen, Grout has
done his work finely in the house. lie

Town Pride,

Nothing so contributes to the ad-
vancement Of locality as community
pride, And community pride is absent
where there is no personal pride. Show

grown, where the lawns and gardens

1t is far from being prosperous coll-
munity. The front yard is an index of
condition that cannot be ignored Il

village Is desirable as residence

any ambitious locality to bestow as
much attention upon their exterior sur
roundings as they would upon the fur
nishing Of their homes.

what are volcanoesF
Nine ont of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answer Of some
sort to the question above, for have
they not a lively remembrance of hav-
ing learned in their SCHOOLGIRLS that
"a volcano is a burning mountain. from
the summit OF which are sent out smoke
and tlamesT This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists. whose
work is to explode popular rancics.
In the first place. volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that Is, holes In
the earth's crust. Out of these are
thrown the materials which. accumu-
latng form the heaps which we popu-
larly call mountains.
These are. then. the result and not
the cause Of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There is no combustion, nor any
action we might reasonably call burn
ing"
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for eruptions n"
just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The so called "smokc" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
Of condcnsing steam which are formed
on every OCCASION when an eruption oc-
ours.
Lastly, the flames" so called. are
merely the reflection Of the mass OF
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds of steam above,
thus appearing as glowing light, The
friction, too, set up by the motion Of
the materials causes electricity, and
hence the lightning discharges which
