CIRCULATE MuLcT PETITION.
Considerable Interest Taken in th,
Matter AT Clarion.


Matter at Clarion.
Special to Times
Clarion, Nov. %. Wright county will.
be pretty thoroughly canyassed in the
next two weeks by the saloonists and
the anti-saloonists. No one seems to
know whether the petitions Of consent
have received the required IS per cent
of signers or not. However those OPP
posed to the saloons are circulating Pc
.titions Of remonstrance all over the
county, and people are getting worked
up in the matter. 1t is asserted that 65
per cent of the voters of Clarion have
resigned the petition Of consent and
that very few will recant and order
their names taken off the petition.
Many who did not sign the petition ia
yvor the change to the saloon, thinking
the traffic can be controlled better than
lit is at present. Many are tired of the
way the liquor business is handled in
Clarion and think there will be relief
found in the mulct saloon, which can be
watched and also regulated somewhat
lat least.
The amendment muddle does not in
terfere with any OF our county officers,
as they were all reelected. The super
visor in the Second district is the only
one to be affected.
The corn crop in this section is about
all in the cribs.
The town is putting in a system Of tile
drains on the main street so as to carr
ry off the surface water which accumu-
lates in the spring on the streets and
which will make our streets good deal
better for travel.

Cedar Falls Council Takes steps to
Replace Collapsed structure.


Special to Times ublican.
Cedar Falls. Nov. 22.-The accident
that occurred here. resulting 1.-the loss
OF Cedar Falls water tower or tank,
will cause quite loss to the city. The
tank was erected about twelve years
ago by q company Of our citizens at a
cost OF 81. 600 and was leased TO the city.
About a year ago the city bought the
interest OF those citizens, scat the time
of the collapse II was city property
What e lost TO US is simply the wooden
tank. which held 100000 gallons of
water, which was full at the time Of Its
4bursting The duration OF the tank is
said to be fourteen years. Our tank had
been In use about twelve years and
three months. The cost OF putting in a
new wooden tank Will be about 81, 900.
The council held a meeting last night
and took steps to put in another tank
which will probably be OF steel The
collapse of the tank caused consterna-
ton among the families that reside in
that immediate nelghborhood. 1t was
very lucky that there was no one near
the grounds at the time OF the deluge.
There was no damage except the de-
sstructton OF the tank, the iron fra me or
tower being all right and not in the
sledt disturbed by the fall OF the tank.
The lots, as stated yesterday, will not
affect the supply OF water to the con-
SSumors. for we have direct pressure.
IT will necessitate the running day and
night Of our water! works until the new
tank ID up In the place OF the old one.

that action should be taken to enforce
compliance with the simple require
ments Of safety. Those who fail to do
their part to prevent losses should not
be allowed compensation. It is not
right to tax an association to pay Tor
the results OF scare1essness or indiffer-
3ence OF some OF Its members. When-
ever It Is clearly established that scer-
tain Losses are preventable then they
should be prevented. That which may
be easily cured should not be endured.
Our Investigations during the past
three years afforded very strong evil
5dence as TO the utility OF lightning rods
on buildings. Ii appears to be strong
presumptive proof that rods do protect
buildings when 30 few OF those that
have been provided with even the poor
est kind Of rods have been damaged By
lightning.
In fact, all my studies and observa-
tons for more than an average life
time lead to the conclusion that very
large measure of losses by lightning
may be prevented by the use OF proper
appliances. 1 fully believe that build

Treatment For sprains.

The prevalence of sprains and strains
owing to the indulgence in athletic
exercises of all kinds moves an au-
thority on the treatment of these pain
full accidents to say:
A little common sense treatment is
often all that is needed when the strain
is at ankle or wrist and without COM
plications. II will swell very alarming
ly at first and gradually develop a
frightful looking bruise, but from the
first it should have complete rest and
a treatment of hot and cold douches,
the hot being used at first, when the
swelling is painful, and the cold later
on, as a sort of tonic to the relaxed
muscles. The hot must be very hot
and the cold very cold, as the tepid
water does harm rather than good.
For the first day of a strain, when
all the wrenched cartilages and mus
cles are aching, great relief is found in
4 poultice of egg and salt. To make it,
beat the white of an egg till light, but
not stiff. Stir in gradually cup and
a half Of salt, or more if needed, to
make a thick, pastelike icing. Spread
this on a cloth and bandage in place
Cover all with oil silk or thick bath
towel to protect the sheets, since the
egg leaks out continually. After this
has relieved the soreness begin with
hot water lamentations and wear a
light, firm bandage, except at night.

Bird Intelligence.

During a high wind one summer day
a young oriole was thrown from its
nest to the ground. 1t was picked up
by kind hands and kept in the house
till the storm was over and then placed
on the roof of the piazza. A watch
was kept behind the closed blinds of a
window near by to note proceedings
on the part of the parent birds. They
I'M the meantime had seen the little one
borne away and had followed it to the
house, and, as it was kept near the
open window, its cries had apprised
them of its Whereabouts. They soon
came TO K on the roof and hovered
about it, doing much talking and con-
sulting together.
Finally they alighted near the little
one, and the female slipped her wing
under it and seemed to urge some
course of acting upon the male, who
fidgeted about coming to the little one,
spreading his wings over ii, then fly
ing to a tree, when the female followed
him and brought him back and again
slipped a wing under the little one
Finally he seemed to understand or
to get his nerve under control, and,
slipping his own wing under, together
they made n sort of cradle for the bird
ling, and. each Tapping its free wing.
they flew to the tree, bearing it to q
place of safety among the branches.

A young down town drug clerk who
had heard the story of the colored wo
man who had asked for flesh colored
court plaster and was given black by
the observant dealer stored the Incl
dent away in his mental dust box and
decided to use it at the first oppdftu
nifty. lie had not long to wait, for q
few nights ago a comely colored girl
stepped into the store where he was
employed. 'Ah wants some cou't plas.
ter" she said.
What colorT" inquired the clerk
with affected nonchalance.
Flesh cullah. sah.'
Trembling in his shoes and keeping
within easy reach of n heavy pestle.
the clerk handed the woman n box of
black court plaster. and he was sur
prised at the time that the situation af-
forded so little humor. The woman
opened the box with a deliberation that
was ominous. but she was unruffled
when she noted the color of the con-
tents.
''Ah guess yo' mus a-misunderstood
NAH ordah. All asked fob flesh cullah,
and yo' done give me skin cullah."
The drug clerk is still little daZed
from the encounter, and he has firmly
resolved to subject every joke to rigid
