A BUSY DAY MOVING.

Thursday of last week was moving day for Charles Gilbert of New Pres ton Hill. In the morning with double teams he moved down to Col K. D.. Johnson's tenement in this village.

On his return, MT Gilbert found his wife in so dis satisfied condition in regard to the rooms that stay there seemed be- yond question and Charles decided he had dumped from pan to fire" So he called in his fathers aid and with teams they commenced to move back on New Preston Hill again, which he completed Friday morning, a poorer

The greatest anxiety Is felt through
out the country at an impending re-
markable disaster which cannot be
averted and which may and probably
will cost many lives and vast treasure
the fall Of the Neuchatel Jura noun
tain at Noiraique, says Turtch (SWit-
zerland) correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Times This mountain has
been fairly undermined by great &C.
ment and other quarries but has never
before shown any signs OF collapse
Recently, however, the entire noun
tainside has been splitting open with
a noise like the clapping Of thunder
and the assures and splits are grow
Ing wider and deeper almost daily. IL
Is expected that when the warmer
weather comes the entire mountain
will fall forward, being certain If 1t
does to carry away several towns, the
railroad and possibly change the
course of the Avreuse river. The peo-
pie of the district are practically panic
stricken, and the authorities are at
their wits end how to meet the threat
ened disaster. The entire population
is in danger, for the collapse OF the
mountain, which is nearly 5000 feet
high, may occur at any moment. nor
can the least thing be done to prevent
it. All that the authorities are able to
do is to devise some warning, hoping
by such means to minimize the boss OF
life which seems inevitable. The Jura
range of mountains Of which the
undermined em1nence forms part
rises between the Rhine and the Rhone
and forms the boundary between
France and Switzerland. Should the
mountain fall, as It now seems almost
certain it will, the entire Neuchatel
range will be devastated. The mines
and Quarries are old and very deep
and those who have seen them say
they extend to great depths and IN
every direction into the base OF the
mountain. The river running along
the base would be inevitably and abb
solutely damned, and must, of course,
seek an outlet, thus adding an element
Of uncertainty and further danger.
The Swiss government has Long been
appnhensive of precisely such dis
aster, but all efforts to chech OF In any
way supervise the mining and quarry
t1s operations have been stoutfy re-
sisted, the peasantry in particular re-
ssnting any interference with pre-
rogatfve they have enjoyed for cen
turtles. It has thus come to pass that
the danger line has been far exceeded,
and mo safeguards against disaster are
established nor can there be now.

The trouble with the Democratic
party has been the inability OF its
leaders to consider snch questions
as the tariff, the finances, the Phil
ippines and the shipping interests
from anything but q purely parti-
sau standpoint. They have hud-
died like sheep, and the result has
been that by following Bryan they
have helped to make of the Demo-
cratic party mere obstacle in the
path of progress and nothing
more. What the South needs is
more men like McLaurin and less
mon like Tillman.- Philadelphia

1T WON'T WORK.

Western High School Girls Organize an
Anti-Fiirting Society.
The members Of the San Francisco
Girls High School have organized an
anti flirting society. It appears from
the San Francisco papers that every
girl has put her name down on the
membership list and pledged herself
not only to abstain from Irritation but
to save other maiden from flirtation's
paths. The method to be employed by
the reformers is charming1y simple. II
a refnrmer chances to see sister stu
dent engaged in the subtle art she
is supposed to take her in hand and
warn her of the danger OF filtration.
She is to reason with her and, above
all, impress upon her the superiority
of G.. H. S..to all the combined mas
culine population. But her finest work
Is to come wnen she espbes youth
wearing G. H. S. pin. From that
owner and then go to the girl and see
that she gets that pin back. 1t is to
be feared that this anti-fiiring society
will soon have more trouble on its
hands than the Empress Dowager.
Opinions differ as to what constitutes
flirting. Filtration is anything but an
exact science, and any attempt to draw
the line will be productive Of innu-
merable charges. counter-charges
ordinations, recriminations, denials.
appeals, shneks. tears. Mysteries,
swoons and hsir-pullings. The motive
of, the organization IL good, but it is
seriously to be feared that the attain
ment of it's aims and objects is i'm
possible by any girl who isn't either
a prude at heart or an incarnation Of
Standard.

The question of woman suffrage
has been partially settled in Nor
way, and it may astonish some Of us
to learn that in old Norway women
have just had conferred upon them
full municipal franchise. A wo
man ls:entitled to vote there under
the new law if she pays taxes upon
an income of at least $7l in coun-
try districts or $l08 in city dis
tricts. When the husband and
wife have all in common the wife
wife has right to vote if the hps-
band pays taxes upon the Same
amounts. This is only an addi-
ton to preceding suffrage prih-
legee, as the Norwegian women
have for several years used their
right to vote on questions concern
ing the local regulation of the
liquor traffic and have Influenced
liquor legislation and trade very
markedly. In Norway, though,
as elsewhere, there are two fac
tons, though the "anti" faction is
largely made up by the claes con-
di tions in Norway.-Minnespo
