Last week we spoke of gentle
man visiting our town with n view
to establishing gas plant here
His presentation of the matter
met with such favorable consider.
alton that company has been
organized with q capital of SO, 900,
twenty of our business men sub
scribing the stock in $500 shares
each, to put in such plant as
soon as the council can grant
them franchise. To do this it
will be necessary to hold an cleo
ton to grant this privilege, after
which they will be ready to 90
ahead with the work if their in
vestigations, which will mean,
while be made, prove satisfactory.
This system of lighting Is highly
spoken of by those of our citizens
who have teen in towns where it
is in use. 1t is said to furnish a
very satisfactory light, is gas
that is dry and does not freeze,
and will bring light and fuel for
cooking purposes to consumers at
a very moderate cost. The COM
pany will only ask a franchise to
dig their shallow bitches and put
in their pipes and fixtures, not an
exclusive franchise, nor one that
wonld bar electric light if the
town should decide in the future
that We want an electric plant.
The company will be willing to
take their chances against any
other kind OF light plant being es-
tahlished after they get theirs in
operation, as it is claimed this
kind of hight proves SO satisfac-
tory in towns of this size that no
other can compete with it. Under
the circumstances, aud consider
ing that nothing in the way of tax
or bonus is asked of the town, and
that there is no possibility of get
ting a town plant for years, we
feel sure that our local company
that has been formed will meet
with no opposition and hope that
light will break in on Woodbine
through the medium of first
class gas plant in the near future.
Let us have light this time sure.

A DANGEROUS DESCENT.
FeeIhardx Undertaking of Two Dare
Ing Workmen ON the Mag
Bridge.

Reckless daring is often displayed
by workmen whose daily la bors place
them in positions of danger that those
who have to deal with them are aston
ished a no feat of bravado. Mr. Frank
Skinner gives in McC1ure's Magazine
an instance of this daring on the part
of men who were engaged in replacing.
the Mia CARA suspension bridge
Tt happened that many valuable
tools were dropped from the bridge
that some of the more careless losers
were discharged. Consequently, when
one day a man dropped wrench 200
fees to the waters edge. he fooish1y
started to recover it by descending
hand over hand on steeply inclined,
thin wire cable nearly 500 feet long
He had no sooner started on his in
sane exploit than a rival, out of sheer
bravado, eSsayed to descend an adj
jacent rope. After going a few -feet
they both realized the almost impossi-
bic allure of the journey they had un-
dertaken, and tried to return. Tt
could not be done, and the only chance
of safety lay in continuing their de-
scent.
1t seemed to their Mortified compan-
ions that human muscles could not en-
dure the increasing strain of that
long passage downward The foreman
shouted instructions, interpreted
with violent abuse, the object of which
was to divert them from the fright thai
added to their danger.
BY what seemed almost a miracle
both men held until th1G had
crossed the water. Then one OF them
other finally gave out, and fell con-
siderable distance to the ground
Both, however, escaped practically uns
hurt.

THE WANDERING SHADE.

I clambered to good vantage point
and observed the scene with much in

bands of knights in quilted armor and
with hair long and full of burrs- Also
they wore strange devices upon their
noses-the meaning of which Wlsb

why protect the nose and allow the
rest of the body to be put upon the

cherished possession of the people OF
this peculiar age %
Just then our attention was attract
ed by a great tumult- One line OF
knights ran toward the other line,
carrying a ball the size of a mans
dust, a wondrous cOmmlnghng or
writhing legs and arms, and then the
whole company of knights painfully
untangIed and came forth again Some
lay motion1ess upon the ground, while
others Hmped away to die And up
in the amPhitheater many youths with
canes and gaudy ribbons arose and
opened their mouths widely and stared

Alas! There was a rush-a shock

The Semi-Weekiy Capital, published

payers published anywhere. Realizing
that a good market report is of the
most valuable features of farm newspa-
per. the Capital prints twice a week full
report of all the markets of the world,
including Topeka, and the report is abso-
lutely reliable.
1t prints the news of the civilized
world fresh from the wires of the Associ-
ated Press, covering the field more
thoroughly than any of the metropolitan
weeklies. But in the matter of Kansas
news, it has no competitor, large
corps of special correspondents enabling
us to cover the field thoroughly. Outside
of your own home paper. you can get
more local news from the Capital than
from any other paper published.
Editorially it labors increasingly for the
States moral and material welfare.
While strongly Republican in politics,
its editorials fair and unprotected,
and its news columns are open alike to the
doings of all political parties.
