the delegates for the honor, conferred
upon him. He was received with re-
newed cheering.
Abel Falls Short on First.
At this point an ominous silence fell
upon the convention as the informal
ballot for sheriff was announced.
There was considerable discussion
among the delegates as the voting
went on and it was evident that the
MONDAY caucus had been an active
one. The result of the informal ballot
was as follows:
Edward Abel, IS.
D. J. Vincent, s.
C. H. Whitcher, II.

Robert Wilson, 1.

This showed the great strength of
Abel and the next ballot was anxiously
awaited 1t resulted as follows:
Edward Abel, 10.
Charles Whether, Is.
D. J. Vincent, z.
G.. E. Heidersdorf, 3.
Blank, l.
The next ballot proved that the
country delegates had arranged to
unite on c. II. Whitcher, of Bristol,
and the result was:
Edward Abel, II.
D. J. Vincent, z.
G. E. Heidersdrof, l.
c. H. Whitcher, 81.
At this point John Abel addressed
the convention and urged the dele
gates that if their minds were made
up that there was a stronger candidate
than Edward Abel they should not feel
any obligations to vote for him. He
thanked the delegates for the support
they had given the Kenosha man.
Whitcher Gains Strength.
On the next ballot Whitcher gained
strength, and the ballot stood:
Edward Abel, Is.

Compared to Some Other WeIl-Known
Measurements 1t Is Wonderful

Let us take a pound of what we
will call average coal, containing,
say, 10000 heat units. This would be
somewhat smaller in size than a
mans fist. A pound of this coal, if
expended in mechanical work, would
give us 236 horse power. Imagine at
the time of the Pharaohs two long
lines ofmen, extending over half a mile
all pulling steadily, at the command
of the task-master, at a great rope
to raise some huge obelisk, and as
you see them sweating, Juggling and
straining, think again of this small
lump of coal in which nature has
placed an equal amount of power. In
some countries men who have been
specially trained as porters to carry
heavy loads on their backs, will, as
a full days work, carry a total of
from $50 to 600 pounds a distance of
one mile. And yet each has expended
but one-third of the power stored up
in this pound of coal.
An exceptionally strong man has
been known to do one-half horse
power of work as his mightiest
effort; but in two and a half min
utes, work at this rate eXhausts his
muscular force. Let US suppose 100
such men putting forth such extreme
effort at a rope, or crank, or crow
bar; as they fall back, reG-faced and
putting, to catch their breathS, we
might imagine this little black lump
saying to them: Il can do as much
as your whole company, and then can
stand it for fully two minutes longer
before / am exhausted"
Let us now turn to another por-
ton of the human race From the
earliest times spinning has been a
diversion and duty with the fair
sex. We need look back only to
our own grandmothers- We can pic
ture them, from their own stories,
told us when we were children, as
rosy-cheeked damsels sitting around
the open fireplace and spinning from
early candlelight till bedtime, let us
say possibly two hours. Let us then
consider for n moment the thous-
ands of spindles rafting and whirl-
ing in a modern cotton factory, i'm
PEELED by the power locked up in
coal. One pound of this coal carries
the potential energy to do the work
of three thousand such spinsters.
In saving wood. man may work
at the rate of about 60 strokes
minute and consider himself a top
and his saw blade may have
progressed five feet a minute; but a
circular saw driven by machinery,
may be put through 20 times that dis
tance and saw 40 times that much
wood. And yet this little pound of
coal contains power enough for $50
such saws.

OBJECT TO INCUBATION.
Chinese Highbinders Make Trouble
for San Francisco Authorities.

San Francisco, May 22.-Chinese
high binders and the board of health
have had a clash over the bubonic
plague question, and up to the pres
ent time the highbinders seem to be
ahead. So far, by threats to assas-
sinate any Chinese who submits to
incubation against the plague, they
have prevented the Chinese from TAX
ing treatment. There are $4,000 Chi
nese in the Chinese quarter, and they
are terrorized at the prospect of vac
cination with haffkine prophylactic.
1t is stated at the board of health
meeting that at first the Chinese were
willing to undergo the treatment, but
that the highbirder element circulat-
ed the report that the whites had
conspired to kill of the Chinese and
had adopted this method to do it.
This story had immediate effect, and
it will require force to make the Chi
nese submit. The Chinese merchants
have closed their stores, not on ac
count of fear of vaccination, but for
fear their stores Will be wrecked by
the ignorant Chinese masses, who
hold them responsible for the action
of the board of health.
J So far as the plague is concerned,
there have been no developments and

Food o. the Future.

Only housekeeper has any idea of
the tremendous mass of material
that is not consumed. but wasted
daily in preparing the meals. 1t is
a fact that man eats seven times his
weight in food in a single year. If
he were to live on compressed food
he would find that he consumed only
one and one-half times his weight,
so great is the difference between
the food of the past and the food of
the future.
Tea is so well compressed that even
the aroma is preserved in the lit
tie ball that stands for a cup full. You
can drink a glass of mineral water
by swallowing little pill, and, queer
enough, it will quench your thirst
better than the original. 1t is said
t a man can vallow a cake of
mineral water the size of a visiting
card, and require no more liquid for
the whole day.
The compression of meat has
been accomplished to perfection, so
that you can have a slice of roast
meat in the shape of pill or a thin
wafer or extract. This compressed,
prepared food will be of great value
to the workingman, who will merely
slip a lozenge or two into his pock-
ct, instead of Carrying a tin pail full
of all kinds of things that are a mess
when 1T is time to eat them. 1t must
be cheaper than the food of the pres
ent,for it will be prepared in large
quantities and there will be no waste
All parts of the OK are equally nour-
ishing, and the neck will be as valu-
able for this food as the tenderloin
1t is impossible to think of all the
problems that this food viii aid in
solving. But of one thing we may
be certain, that it will be of definite
value to the explorer and traveller.
Polar expeditions will be greatly SIM
plified, for man can easily pull on
sled all the food he will want for a
year in the compressed form.

But, my dear sir, you are wasting

know all about it. The lamb doesn't
exist among the wolves and he never

astounding-it would cause the bull
to turn the kicking machine onto

street is a dream too delicious for
practical affairs It's a bunco game
that absorbs principal and interest,
