We find the wind mill used in
raising water for the supply of the
Jail has been geared wrong which
causes more friction than is necessary
and consequently the wind power is
not sufficient to give it full propell-
ing power. We ask that the matter
be looked after at once by the proper
authorities. in connection with this
matter we would recommend that
sufficient piping be attached and a
sufficient supply of hose to distrib-
ute the water over the Jail property
in case of fire.

THE ARTISTS BROKEN ARM.
The Loss Turned Out to be Blessing
to Him After All.

"To become blind, or coolr-blind, or
to lose the use of ones hand are. of
course. the greatest calamities that
can overtake an artist" remarked a
New Orleans portrait painter, chatting
with some friends in his studio.
There are a good man cases on
record, however, where the left hand
has been trained to do the work of the
right, even after middle age, and re.
call one where the necessity actually
turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The man have in mind was a painter
in one of the large coast cities, and
while he possessed considerable ability
he never managed to catch on with
the public, and had great officially in
making both ends meet. His
speciality was landscape, and the
trouble with his work was tendency
to overfinish If somebody, had stood
behind him with club and belted him
over the head when his canvas reach
ed certain stage it would have been
all right, but he never knew when to
stop, and the result was finicky,
fussy style that spoiled everything he
did.
well, he struggled along on the
verge of starvation for years, and
finally tumbled down stairs and broke
his right arm in so many Different
places that it had to be taken of at
the elbow. OF course, he was in de-
spair, but he had considerable grit
and as soon as possible after the
accident he began to practice with his
left hand. 1t came very awkward at
hrst, and he found himself absolutely
unable to execute the fine, fussy detail
in which he formerly delighted. He
was compelled to deal with color
masses whether he wanted to or not,
and, in spite of his efforts to the con-
trary, he acquired broad vigorous
touch that was the greatest imaginable
improvement on his original style.
The very first left-handed sketches ne
exhibited made a hit, and everything
he does now finds a ready sale.
Some of the rival artists of the
place say that his work leaves nothing
to be desired, except the loss of his
other arm, but that's mere jealousy.
A funny thing, though" added the
painter, is that the success Of his
present canvases has privately sexas-
pefated and mortified him, in spite of
lCs pleasant financial results. You
see, the semi-impressionistic style he
uses now is one that he formerly
denounced with no end of vehemence
as gross affectation and cheap trick
to catch the public eye. Singular
way for ones chickens to come home
to roost, isn't it?'-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

ARE GOOD statesmen.
Busy Gum Machines Labor Savers for
Owners.

Penny-in-the-slot gum machines
about town serve as good statesmen
They also save clerk hire, and when
one is filled with a dollars worth of
gum the dealer has nothing to do
but wait until the till contains a hun
dred pennies. Various makes of the
machines are to be seen, some with a
mechanical toy which goes through
some jerky motions for the benefit of
the gum buyer. All the machines are
the property of the local merchants,
but supplies for them must be pur-
chased from the firm sending them
out. In some of the cities the ma
chimes are unlawfully cut open and
the gum and money extracated, but
as yet Madison thieves have not at
tempted this trick. But the small boy
has gotten in his good work with
slugs the shape and size of pennies.
A. A. Pardee has machine in front
of his drug store which does a brisk
trade. Here certain small boy has
daily been working off round pieces of
cad in lieu of pennies, but of late the
young rogue is and now the boy stays
away. Mr.. Pardee has a wooden box
well filled with the slugs which are
really works of art They are perfectly
round, weigh about the same as a
penny and are furnished in some man.
ner until they resemble a copper cent.
For this reason a casual observer
could not detect the fraud.
Another curious thing about the
machine is that certain class of peo-
pie seem to regard it with awe and
will go into the store to purchase a
cents worth of gum rather than touch
it. Certain unwary people are also in
the habit of fitting the most handy
coin to the slot, and then when dime

A voIcELEss CHURCH.
Members of Autolife Society Favor
Silent Devotion,


Chicago's latest religious organiza-
ton is in for 'quiet time.' It IS
called the Autolife society. Silent
worship is its chief Characterization
It's differe IMITATION from other religions
bodies. 1t has no fixed theological
tenets, says the Chicago Chronicle
Everything in its view is concentrated
In an introspective devotion. In ac.
cordance with it's ideas all personal
strength, all mental and Intellectual
force, is derived from the silent
attitude in worship. But absolute
silence is not regarded by the Autolife
society as the best form of introspec-
tive worship. The members believe
that nice, good organ under the
touch of master hand. with the
tremolo stop out at full length. ana
the sun falling through soft-hued glass
make a blending of color and harmony
that attains the perfect atmosphere OF
silent worship.
A church or hall of such charac-
ter is to be secured in the down town
district, and it will be opened all day
and most of the evening, so that the
autos who want to retire from the
roar and rumble of commerce. the
changing of the cable train gongs aud
the thousand and one Confused street
noises may step aside noment and
bury themselves in the solituu, ,f the
nall OF worship, and with half-clcsed
eyeiids and relaxed muscles draw in
spiration from the restfu,rass of
silent devotion.
The late Prentice milford was the
originator of the church of the silent
devotion" Milford was called nv his
followers and his imitators a great
progressive thinker because he beauti-
ned the rest cure idea by weaving
around 1t gauze of mysticism and
spoke of it as the demonstration of the
vital thoughts" and ''the silent power
of the mind" The proposed down
town church is called a ''retre at" bv
members of the new cult, and as soon
as the money can be secured the
ideas of the people who want a ouier
time as form of religion will be car
ried into effect.
A few side frills have been put on
the movement at the outset by COM
bining the silent devotion" of milford
with the breath culture and the health
culture of Persian named Hanish,
who styles himself the rabmagi Of
Math-El-Kharman temple, Persia, and
who has been teaching the people for
some time in Chicago the proper way
to breathe in order to get the best out
of life. This combination of silence,
abstraction and respiration in the
form of religious cult without any
scriptural canons is relied on by the
Autolife society to captivate the people
of nearly all sects.

Richard Guenther, former con-
gresham from Wisconsin, and at
present consul-general at Frankfort
on-the-M Main, contributes an interest
ing and instructive report, published
in the advance sheets of consular re-
ports, dated July 13. Mr.. Guenther's
article is upon the subject of Munich
pal Railways in Europe. in which he
brings out some historic matter per-
tanning to the government control Of
railways abroad. He says, by way of
preface, that DR.. A. Won der Leyen, &
railroad expert. published an article
in the German Review. concerning the
management of railroads in Prussia,
in which the writer states that the
example of Prussia in buying the pri-
vate railroads and running them on
government account has contributed
to popularize the system in oth>
countries. The Austrian government
railroad has TODAY. saws M
Guenther, mileage of about $500
miles c road; that of Hungary, abou.
$3.50 miles. Since 1882 great
change, he says, has taken place in
Russia. or the then existing $4,000
miles of railroad, only about 40 miles
were owned by the government. The
total mileage in 1897 was about "a
500 miles. of which 1880 miles be-
longed to the government. To this
must be added the government rail-
roads of Finland. Asiatic Russia. thu
Trans-Caspian ard the Siberian rail-
roads. The Servian, Roumanian and
the Bulgarian railroads are owned
exclusively by the respective govern
ment. OF the northern European
kingdoms, Denmark has q govern
ment railroad system of 1167 miles
and SOS miles OF private railroads.
Norway's railroads belong almost ex-
clusively to the government. Sweden
has 1908 miles of government lines
and 1887 miles of private railroads.

lines of railroads in 1890. but these
