In opposing the biennial election

statement that appeared in the T.-R.

the STATE. and a number Of papers that
are usually careful about What IS given
circulation on their editorial pages are,
helping to push the Fabrication along.
For instance the Marshalitown Times
Republican says it mas been estimated
that each years election costs the state
not less than $500 500. The 'estimate'
first appeared in the Sioux City Tri-
bune but the estimator has never
claimed credit for the widest guess
that has been made in this campaign.
IT the estimate was marked down At
least S0persce il Mould still be iberai

advantage of being somewhere near the
truth. If the balance of the assertions

of the amendment to furnish something
of proofato support the; assertions they
are making of the wonderful aaHan-
tages the measure possesses over the
present system. None have been pro-
vided up TO date
For the information of the Reporter
it should be stated that the estimate
was first made by Senator Titus, the
author of the amendment, in the fol-
lowing language:
'.The cost Of nominating conventions
OF all parties, the actual expense of con-
Quoting elections, paid from the county
funds together With campaign funds
and Individual expenses of candidates,

is made to biennial elections that
amount will be saved to the people Of
this state every other year In the

the old Transyaal regime, citizens Of
Great Britain found it almost lnpossi-

especially Mothers and for all the purposes of the toilet

those who have used it to any other especially
for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp and hair Of
infants and children. CUT1cuRA SOAP combines delicate

most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated
toilet soap compounded is to be compared with it
for preserving purifying, and identifying the skin, scalp

SEARCHLIGHT ON FIRE ENGINE
IN NEW YORK CITY.
To Aid tho Flremen in Lighting Up
Dark Places in Tall Buildings That Arc

ulatinS.
CNeW York Letter.)

Fire Chief Croker expresses himself
as being greatly pleased with the
searchlight of the La France engine,
an exhibition test of which was given
the other night in New York. Many
other officials of the fire department
who were present also spoke highly OF
the searchlight. Superintendent Louis
Divien of the La France company
worked the searchlights. There were
two of them attached to the engine.
Each of them was about eighteen
inches in diameter. They were de-
tachable and were worked both on and
off the engine. A small insulated wire
cable was fastened to each light. In
front of the engine house stands a
twelve-story building, and one of the
searchlights was turned upon its up
per stories. The light illumined cir
cular space about thirty feet In d.
ameter The light shot far above the
building, showing that it can easily be
sent to the top of any skyscraper in the
city. When thrown horizontally up
Mercer street the searchlight illumined
the fronts of buildings half-dozen
blocks away. The light penetrated the
smoke from the engine easily. OF
course, this smoke was not so dense
as that which will be encountered at
many fires. The new engine has a
frame and running gear much like
those of the ordinary fire engine. The
boiler is a combination OF nest tubes
and snake flues. On the frames in
front of the boiler is mounted Forbes
engine, light and compact. Directly
connected to the engine is a marine
type multipolar generator, supplying
sixty-five amperes of current at a
pressure Of eighty volts. This gener-
ator Is entirely inclosed, making it i'm
possible for rain or fire streams to
reach the armature. On each side OF
the drivers seat is placed an 18-inch
protector, and the seat folds over SO
that the projectors can swing through
circle. They can also be placed at
any vertical angle. The projectors are
supplied with DETECTING glass fronts,
making it possible to cover large
area with the light at short range, or
by using the plain glass fronts, also
supplied, the light may be thrown out

The R044iAn Peasant.

1t is asserted by those who have
lived among them that the lowest
types Of modern European civilization
are probably the Russians. While
writer's and travellers vary as to the
future of Russia nearly all are agreed
as to the utter; degradation at present
of the Russian peasant. He is always
on the verge Of starvation and is alb
improvident, while: his gross
and complete ignorance is combined
with the most extravagant supersti-
ton. Like all low natures, he is thor
oughly distrustful Of reform, and as a
climax to his inirmities he is con-
firmed drinker. :, -:
Middle class in Russia there is prac-
tfcally none. Tie small shopkeepers
combine. exorbitant charges with
shameful usury. Manufacturers and
producers are nearly all foreigners,
and the larger trade Of the country is,
chiefly in, German hands. Education
may after the lapse ofsseveral genera
tons remove the inherent dullness OF
this people, but it will be no easy mat
ter to root out evils which are the
growth of centuries of serfdom and
distress.-Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Of the Republican national committee,
who stated that the bearer had been in.
structed to visit Wisconsin for the pur.
pose of making a report upon the 20:
litical situation and the prospects of
the Republican ticket. This pricked
the old mans pride. He resented, in
his good natured way the invasion of
his territory, and I noticed that his
face flushed as he read the letter. Aft.

moments he looked at his watch, hand.

There's a. train leaving here at 5

day after tomorrow morning, and I'll
send up one of my boys to see that you
