COERCION AT THE POLLS.
Voters Whipped Into Supporting Ser
vian Government Candidates.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Describing the disor-
ders attending the Servian elections, the
Vienna correspondent of the Morning Lead
er says: THE Servian government used
troops and gendarmes freely to intimdate
the electors of the opposition. At Gra-
dishte the voters were driven in by gen
darmes with cattle whips and compelled
to vote for the government candidates. At
Sagubca voters were brought i'm irons TO
the polls. This intimidation caused riots
in various places, and 200 persons all told
were injured"

use. cleanliness and freedom from smoke are so great that ks use will increase as rapidly as facilities for fur- nishing regular supply upon wnicn users can safely rely can De provided. There are now about 200 rigs up m the Beaumont territory, but owing to the inability to make boring contracts ex- cept at exorbitant prices or to pur- chase boring machinery, probably not over twenty wells arc actually under way. The demand for borers is so great that the cost Is now three or TOUT times what it would be under normal conditions, and the weli-borers as wen as landowners are reaping great harvest.
 'For the time being speculation has halted. and prices everywhere outside of the limited, proved territory nave declined, or at least buyers will not pay as much as they would have given two weeks ago. A number of wells are down to about the level at which oil was struck in the others, and every one is holding his breath waiting Tor the first news of a new strike or 'duster,' the latter being the name for a dry we'll. The coming in Of a new gusher in outside territory would quicken the embers into more lively boom fire than ever, and every new strike, broadening the ter ritory in which oil can be found means the enormous and immed. fate enhancement in land values. Al the same time new strikes outside would tend to lower the prices in the present 'gusher' field. One thing IS definitely settled, and that is that all Texas will be bored full of holes. Hun dreds, yes, thousand of wells will be put down, and while looking for oil many other discoveries will be made. The real development of Texas has just commenced. This oil excitement will turn the attention of local ana outside people to the great undevei- oped minerals of the State, to It's cop per- its iron. its gold. its granites, its marbles, and to all Of the weaitn-cre- ating resources of that imperial state. And from Texas this will spread, as 1t is already doing, to Louisiana, to Ala bama, and to other States where the search for oil and gas is already being vigorously prosecuted. We have en- tered upon the South's real develop ment at last.
 "It seems entirely reasonable to look for an early confirmation of the belief that this is probably the most import. ant oil field in the world. If so. tt must become the central point for vast business interests, which, by furnish ing the cheapest fuel to the world, will mark a revolutionizing period in industrial affairs throughout this sec- tion and in all the Gulf Coast. and wherever oil can be shipped in tank steamers or barges. It is possible that Texas is to hold a very commanding position in the worlds commercial and industrial affairs, and in a short time We shall know, for the new wells will tell their story. Until the field Is fully tested it would be unwise to attempt to forecast the possibilities of region which may revolutionize the worlds fuel supply"

Experiments with Aluminium rs Con-
ductor for Electricity.

Experiments with Aluminium Con-
ductor for Electricity.
The already practically foreshaoo~ed
widening use of aluminium conductors
for electric transmission purposes adds
interest to Lord Kelvin's recently ex-
pressed opinion of them. The weight
of aluminium required, he said, is al
most exactly one-half of the copper
which would produce the same effect.
The diameter of cable is IS per cent
in excess of one made of copper, and
the cost of insulation for an under
ground cable is increased in about the
same proportion when we pass from
the copper to aluminium. Aluminium
is not pleasant metal to deal with,
but its high conductivity will make it
invaluable for overhead transmission.
says Casters Magazine. 1t is true
also that the weight to be supported
on posts is half of copper, but the sur
face exposed to the wind is greater,
and its strength is not great The
chief drawback to its use, especially
ten. This defect does not exist II
the metal be pure, and especially if
free from sodium. But exposure to
the atmosphere. especially near the
sea, induces deterioration. The fact
that aluminium is easily oxidized ought
not to condemn it. The same is true
Of iron and steel, and yet we do not
hesitate to place structures of these
metals in exposed positions. Only we
paint them; so Lord Kelvin proposes
that we paint or varnish, aluminum
conductors wherever necessary. A few
hundred yards of 1A-inch aluminium
wire were put up by Lord Kelvin on a
Scotch estate somewhat over a year
ago and on this line he is watching
the effects of weather.

WILD HOGS,
Chicago and Kansas City Packers to In

Chicago and Kansas City Packers to In
wade the Arizona Pia ms.
For nearly twenty-five years wild
hogs have been found in southern Ari-
zona and their number is increasing
constantly. There is a difference OF
opinion as to the origin of these ami
mails. One theory is that some twenty
years ago man sought to establish a
colony at the head of the gulf of Cali
fornia and among one of the Industries
of the colony was pig raising. The
colony failed, however, and the stock
of pigs was turnel loose, and in the
course of time they grew and spread
over the river bottom. On the con-
trary. the Indians out there say that
the wild hog has been there as far
back as their traditions reach. These
animals grow very large, feeding on
root peculiar to the valley of the
Colorado river. As a rule they 20 in
droves and the hunting OF them is at
tended with much danger. as they are
incredibly swift. with speed of the
fastest horse. They are very power

\ Method OF waahing Them L Here
Described.
Years ago, before lace curtains we're
sent to the laundry to have them
cleaned. they lasted much longer than
they do now. After few visits to
the professional cleaner, it is no un-
usual thing to have them drop to
pieces" and this is due to the strong
chemicals used and the rough treat
ment they receive. When the curtains
are taken down remove tie hooks or
other fastenings, pick out any lacking
threads, and shake them well to rid
them of the dust that has accumulat-
eo Look closely to find every tiny
break or tear, and darn them before
the curtains are put in the water, for
these breaks always become much
larger II left until after the washing
is done. Pour quart of boiling water
over four tablespoonfuls of Gold Dust
washing powder, al stir until it is
dissolved, then pour it into tub half
full of hot water. Put the curtains in
1t, and stir and work them about for
ten minutes. Then leave them to soak
over night, This loosens the dirt and
cleanses them without hard rubbing,
which often results in breaking the
threads. In the morning rub them be-
tween the hands, fold them smoothly
and pass them through the wringer.
Put them into a boiler with suds pre-
pared as before, and let them boil
briskly ten minutes. When they are
taken from this. they should be rinsed
through two waters, adding a little
blueing to the second If clear white
is desired. Dipping them in strained
coffee will give them an ecru shade,
then dip them in very thin boiled
starch. If you have an old-fashioned
quilting frame, it is a simple matter
to dry the curtains. for several pairs
can be fastened to the frame at one
time and dried quickly. II one is care
full to place every scallop straight and
to stretch the curtains just enough to
keep them from wrinkling, they will
not need ironing,and will be as smooth
and fresh looking as new curtains

Yankees have taken our stud horses

therefore. why they should not be per-
mitted to cart away our old gates. But
they will unless somebody stops them.
