l. Home-A world OF strife shut
out, world of love shut in.
2. Home--The place where the
small are great and the great small.
: 8. Home-Thy fathers kingdom
the mothers world and the children's
paradise.
4. Home-The place where we
grumble the most and are treated the
best.
8. Home-The centre of our atfec-

At The Opera House.

Charles Erin Werner, the Irish COM
edian and the man whom Dion Bouci-
cault pronounced to be the most per-

had ever seen, will present his most
successful play, "Shamus O'Brien" in
the opera house, Tuesday, June 4.
No one is warranted in demanding
or expecting perfect government where
the people are themselves imperfect.
Municipal government is the farthest
from ideal government OF any we have.
1t will not attain perfection any SOON
er than any other form or through
any other method than that which is
closely related to the community con-
science. The state OF public mind
in city or state is the key to the
government therein. 1t follows that
the way to bettered city government
lies through the active, conscientious,
manifest interest oil the people OF the
municipality in their government.
The people OF no place are to become
perfect, but as rule are better in mu-
inequalities than the government they
get; that they do not have that which
is their due is chargeable to them
alone.
For efficient and economical adj
ministration OF municipal affairs we
should have efficient, capable men,
tried and tested in business or in pub
lie life. Re form does not come
through changing the title of an Office
or setting up new officer or board to
displace an old one, nor in naming
anew a political party, nor in organic
ing temporary party. What is need
ed in municipal government is unset
fishness, thorough going business ca
pacity and CORRECT conceptions of
what true economy is. A well gov
erned city is that which has fewest
laws best enforced-a city that has
community interest first and only in
view.
The commencement exercises OF the
Ritzville High School will BE- held
June 9th. All are cordially invited to
attend.

with the evident intention of putting an

Miss Hay had the poison purchased

wanted to uaa III to allay the pain
caused by toothache. According to a
statement of Jesse Weaver. a young
man who has been keeping company.
with her for about a year, he and Miss
Hay quarreled on Sunday because she
upbraided him for paying attentions to
another young woman. After matters
had apparently been settled without
any very great trouble Miss Hay re-
quested Weaver to purchase for her a
bottle of chloroform. which she claimed
she wanted to use to stop her toothache.
Weaver did as requested and bought a
two-ounce phial at a DOWNTOWN drug
store. He gave 1t to Miss Hay. who
stated when she received it that her
toothache had stopped. She took the
poison, however, and went to her room
and locked the door. Weaver thought
her actions seemed strange and tried to
force the door. without avail. He then
ran to the outside window and as soon
az he could see the woman she raised
the bottle TO her lips and took a swal-

CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.
Its Power shown In the Effect of
Balanced Wheels Upon Steel Rails.

Some years ago, before the railroads
had begun tosreplace the light rails with
rails of heavier section and at the same
time when the development of the loco
motive had reached point where the
concentrated axle loads we're greater
than the track was well able to carry, it
was found that the passage of a train
at high speed was liable 10 produce
serious distortion and permanent set of
the rails Insone particular case, after a
new and unusually heavy engine hal
passed over n certain stretch of track, it
was found that the rails had been bent
vertically. the Expressions occurring at
regular and evenly spaced intervals.
Inquiry into the cause developed the
fact chat the locomotive carried large
amount of excess bal:ncethat is to say,
the reciprocating parts had been so com
pletely counterhaanced that there was Il
large excess balance i'll a vertical direc-
ton, which resulted at the high speed at
which the train was running in a vertical
hammer blow. whose downward effect
was sufficient 10 depress the rails beyond
their elastic limit and leave them perma-
nently distorted. The best practice to-
day is to reduce the weight of the
reciprocating parts to the lowest limit
consistent with safety and then counter
balance only a certain proportion of these
weights.
In stationary and marine engine prac-
ticc, where the engine is bolted directly
either to Il massive foundation or TO the
rigid structure OF the ship, the necessity
for careful balancing IS not SO pressing
the effect OF the unbalanced weights and
moving parts being absorbed by the
inertia Of thu whole mass Of the founda-
ton, Of which the engine forms prac-
tically part. SO long as an unbalanced
engine is controlled within he speed of
rotation for which it is designed no scr;-
& Gus effects arc 10 be feared from the un-
balanced reciprocating Weights, but
