Showing Commemorate Zeal.

George ID. Cline, in Hudson True
Republicans: The LaFollette men
are showing commendable zeal in try
ing to get up some kind OF a primary
election bill that will pass. They
don't feel any kind Of safety coming
before the people OF the state without
something to show for all their prom
Uses, and they are willing to take
'most anything. The governor Is
very much in the position OF the eX-
press agent in Hudson some years ago.
A highly bred pig WAS being sent by
express, and through carelessness Of
an employee the crate was left out and
the pig stolen. In the morning the
agent looked with an air OF authority
at the subordinate and declared
"Thcre must be pig In that crate. "
Soon the slums were skirmished and
the worst looking pig ever seen put IN
the crate, but IT answered the purpose;
anything would do. That is about
the strait that LaFollette Is in. Any
thing will do, and the governor is
guarding the crate while his honCh-
men are skirmishing for the pig.

Morris Jacobs

gave exhibitions Of his wonderful
strength at the opera hall on last Sat
urday evening. He performed marvel
Gus feats to the astOnishment of his
audience. Many doubted his ability
to do the things which he advertised
TO do; but those who Witnessed his
performance on last Saturday even
ing were convinced Of his almost sup
erhuman strength. His main feat OF
driving a square cut blunt spike
through two inch plank with a blow
Of bis fist was satisfactorily perform
ed. He will give another exhibition
at opera hall on Friday evening, May
II, when he will be prepared to con
vince the most skeptical that he is
what he claims-the strongest boy in

1HE HEAIANI RE!ly RA !!!I
HILL kkLkhbAh =. EIhIIn


The relay swimming race between
members of the Healani Club will occur
tomorrow morning about IL O'Clock in
front of the boat house. The success
of the relay last week has aroused
great interest in the sport and a big
crowd will witness the event. The
teams captained by Dan Renear and
r.. B. Kidd will, of course, compete
while the team of Captain Jack Atkin-
son is also expected to be on hand.
There is some talk of making the course
longer than that swan last week.
The spectacle of fifteen or twenty
young men swimming as hard as they
are able will be very exciting sport. If
the new teams prove but a match for
the teams of last week the event will
be the kind that sets the spectator
yelling with enthusiasm as the final re-
| lays are run.
| Owir~ to a disabled finger Captain
Atkinson will be unable to race with
his team. He has selected James Ped
grift, Sam Walker and Fred Damon
with a fourth relay untitled. His own
| enforced absence will neceSSitate the
substitution of another man. The team
selected by Atkinson is very strong
one and many predict that it will. when
Captain Atkinson swims with it, win
| the race
CHdIleS IleynOluS mas abandoned his
intention of entering team in the race
this week Charles is such a gritty
| swimmer himself that he found it
a difficult tast to gather a crew up to
his own standard so he wisely post
poned his career as a captain until he
| could lay his hands on a strong ag0re-
cation. Reynolds has not decided
whether he will compete with his old
team tomorrow or enjoy the contest
from front seat on the Healani Club
pOntoOn.
Renear thinks he will capture the
race. His team will probably be COM
posed of the same men who competed
last Sunday. They are beside himself
William Madeira, w. Heilbrun, H. He'll.
brun, and Dave Dayton. Kids team
will probably be Paul Jarrett, Harry
Murray, himself, Bert Webster and
perhaps Charles Reynolds. ]. II. Har-
rison will not be present tomorrow ow.
ing to business requiring his presence
elsewhere. His absence will be regret.
ted but in Harry Murray, Kidd has al
excellent substitute for Harrison.
The race will start shortly after Il
o'clock tomorrow morning. A large
crowd will watch the contest as it car
be readily seen from all points in the
vicinity of the boat house.

Cement Houses.

The construction of cement houses
is under consideration in Pittsburg,
where the millions of tons Of furnace
slang produced every year could thus
be utilized. 1t has been shown that
this Stag can be converted into cement
by known processes at a less cost than
the 81 barrel suggested by Mr.. Edi-
son as the result Of an invention on
which he is experimenting. This ce-
ment, it is claimed, can be made fully
equal to the best that is known as
Portland, although a lower and a
cheaper grade would suffice for house
construction. Pulverized and mixed
with lime, the Stag has been converted
into superior plaster, showing ten
sile strength greater than the ordina-
ry sand and lime. Cement made from
the Stag would not only be economi-
cal for house construction, but would
make practically freproof buildings.
Such use of a product now wasted or
used only to fill ravines would also
be preventative Of the forests.

The Myth of Appomattox.

Among all the historical mlsstate-
ments of events in the Civil War, de-
cIares the Chicago Tribune, "few have
obtained more general credence, South
as well as North, than the theatrical
story of General Lees proffer Of his
sword to General Grant after the sur
render at Appomattoz and the latter S
chiyalrous declination of it. Recently
Mrs. Jefferson Davis started the story
afresh and gave it new lease of life
i'll printed sketch in which she says
Lee offered his sword to Grant when
he surrendered.
ut is because the story is the purest
romance, and because mankind dear
ly loves romance and esteems nothing
so highly as pretty fiction masquer-
aiding as truth, that the narrative OF
the Lee-Grant episode has not only
become a matter Of folklore, but has
gone into history and formed the sta
pie of many poem and painting, Col.
Charles Marshall, of Baltimore, and
even Grant, to the contrary notwlth-
standing.
The melodramatic story, though Of
the stuff that dreams are made OF,
will not down at the bidding of the
literal and matter-of-fact critics. 1t
will go down in song, legend and his
tory to posterity, because it is dra-
matte and is just what people would
like to believe occurred. They will
cling to it as they do the kindred
myths Of George Washington and the
cherry tree, Pocahontas and the rescue
of Capt. John Smith, William Tell
and the apple.
"Sectionalism cannot be offended
by it, for, after all, there is as great
admiration for General Lee in the
North as there is for General Grant
in the South. -
