A very curious and interesting relic of
Office by Mr. T A Lunde of Pleasant
stone, three feet long, round like cud-
gel, about six inches in diameter at the
larger end, and tapering symmetrically
to diameter of one inch at the smaller
end. It's every appearance indicates
that it is specimen of the fossil remains
of now extinct family of strange rep
tiles or Lizards, which doubtless lived
and breathed and had their being in an
tediluvian times. The exterior anatomi-
cal construction of the animal is plainly
shown in the fossil-the vertebrae, the
bony formations, the cuticle, the scales,
and especially the eyes and mouth are
easily distinguishable. 1t was dug out
of the stone-quarry on Thor Olson's farm
in Pleasant Springs, last fall, and thrown
aside. When it finally came into Mr..
Lunde's hands he had it neatly wired in
pretty frame, and will preserve it as a
,curio both rare and interesting.

Fire broke out in w B Telyea's resi-
dence last Tuesday forenoon about 10
o'clock and for few minutes it threat
ened the destruction of his property and
that adjoining, but through the heroic
work of our citizens the fire was extin-
guished, however, not until it had about
ruined the roof and the upper portion of
the house. The fire originated in the
attic over the kitchen, from defective
chimney, and spread along the roof and
into the upright part of the house. It
had gained considerable Roadway when
discovered and only through the prompt
work and cool-headedness of those pres
ent was the fire fought so successfully.
The damage done is in the neighborhood
of $500, fully insured.

All the riff-raff OF the town. the brute

the heart of the boldest missionary

Like most unsightly things, Home
stead has its picturesque side, or rath.
er its picturesque phase. On Satur-
day night, when the mills are rum
ming, there Is not noisier spot on
earth. nor more interesting study
for the sociologist.
Although the mill fires usually begin
to go down about dusk On Saturday
night. they are still bright enough to
terrify the mountaineer, and a cloud
Of red flame hangs over the hundreds
Of giant smokestacks. The river is
red lake with green lanterns here and
there on the coal barges. The roll
ing mills give out their periodic
crashes of deafening sound, and the
streets are full Of men Of every race
and tongue who are getting rid OF
their money.
The whiskey drank in Homestead

Dances and acrobatic feats are execu-

J. Pierpont Morgan.


An ideal democracy, that is, COM
plete and consistent democracy, would
completely disprove all Of Herbert
Spencer's system Of philosophy. The
warfare Of the world can never be
eliminated and these pretty theories
OF friendly strivings are paradoXical
on their very face. No man can strive
at all and be willing to see the other
fellow win under any consideration.
The struggle for power is essentially
the same whether it is fought with
railroad shares or the flint hatchets
Of the stone man.
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan seems to
have acquired control of more men
and money than any other man the
United States has produced. His
army Of workmen far outnumber the
United States military, and he con.
trols capital enough TO buy any Of the
smaller Kingdoms Of Europe at auc-
tion.
Speculations upon his actual wealth
are quite superfluous. for after money
reaches a certain figure it ceases to be
money at all and becomes power. 1t
is not reckoned by its purchasing pow
er any longer, but by its initiative and
resistive power.
Mr.. Morgan's real wealth is in his
brain and not in bis Golfers. Sur

gularly silent about Mr.. Dawes. The
retiring comptroller has demonstrated
a high order Of ability in nearly every
kind Of business: and, as the editorial

made up his mind that he wants the
senatorship from Illinois. he has but
to follow his own precedent of success.

would wreck as many lives as gen.
eral sacrifices by bad strategic move
ment. His life is given not to the
enjoyment Of wealth. but to the solv-
ing of problems and the amassing of
power. He can eat but one dinner
day and wear but one coat at a time,
like the rest of US.
Whatever civilization has done, it
has not been able to expand by one
inch the individuals capacity for en-
joyment. Mr.. Morgan could crafty

onlv an intinitesimal part Of his for
tune that he can use upon himself.
The only men who have the least ex-

ines he is ambitious, the number Of
ambitious men is scarcely larger than

Warm Praise for Dawes.

A recent issue Of Harper's Weekly
comments appreciatively upon Charles
Dawes faithful and efficient service
to the public as comptroller Of the
currency, and his frank and above
board manner Of announcing his caa.
didacy for the United States senate.
Mr.. Dawes had at least one able
predecessor in the comptrollership, but
no one has ever occupied his Office
who has used such fearless and effect
i've measures for the protection Of
banking interests.
While his regime may have seemed
severe in individual cases no one has
ever alleged that his action in closing
the doors Of certain banks which still
had the public confidence was not for
the best interests of the majority.
Even in Washington, where the repu-
tation of every government official is
