OFFICIAL PAPER OF FERGUS COUNTY.
A MAnR and sENIRAGf SYSTEM.

We understand that the city c1gur'l
at its regular meeting ue.t Monday
night will take mp the question COZ q
water and sewerage system for Lewis
town. a petition having been circulated
and the required number of names ST.
cured asking for IL, submission TO a
vote Of the people.
We believe this tie proper thing to
DO. II it is hcdesjrc that the city own
the system. and that appears to be the
sentiment, then the proposition to issue
bonds for that purpose should he sub
mitted TO the citizens as early as prac-
ticable that the work may be COM
menced this fall.
There is a rapidly growing need Of n
water system, both for protection
against fire and from considerations ola
sanitary nature. owing L the magni-
tude of such an enterprise, long wagon
hauls and late springs. we believe II
would require nearly two years 10 COM
plete the works and have them ready
for operation. by this time the need
of such a service would bc hllly rccog-
nized. Even before the system is COM
pleted there will be four or dyc firms
in the heart Of the city whose combined
stocks of goods will reach u value Of
half a million dollars, That all of this
merchandise would be jcopardiled and
at the mercy of the flames with our
present facilities FOR SURPRISING i"r-
is unquestioned, and in aging this / Is
not intended to cast rclec.ioa> upon
our primitive apparatus and the vol
unteer company. beside, this the de-
mand for sew erdgc service il monthly
growing more pronounced.
If the citizens vote in favor Of bond
ing it will thcu he time 10 determine
which is the best and most feasible plan
To adopt 10 secure an abundance Of good
water. Many suggestions have been
made, some Of which are wild and Wis
ionary. 1t is a question for engineers
and practical men TO determine.

THE CANNON FlRt.cRACKER.

There is death and destruction in the

condemned aud outlawed n, one OF the
noise-producing factors in celebrating
our natal day. This Misunderstanding
composition of paper. dynamite and
fuse has been known to cast a gloom
over picnics and an entire Fourth of

makes It a prime fayoritr with the small

perience in handling, Is in danger of
being MANNED for life If not killed. In

Some cities have passed an ordinance
prohibiting the setting Oft Of giant
crackers within the corporate limits.
and we believe such aR ordinance would
be a good thing for Lewistowu before
n calamity is recorded. "a, there have
already been several narrow escapes In
past years from these powerful yy-
plosivcs,
While 1t might not be wise TO iniurc

JAPANESE POTTERY.
Morse Collection Ia Boston Art Mu-
scual the Finest In the World.

- sfHHR 80 ~
scual the Finest In the World.
The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has
just published a sumptuous catalogue
of the great Morse collection Of Japn-
nese pottery which was bought for the
museum In 1892 and which, including
acccSSions since then, now numbers
oyc 5000 pieces. representing 20 prov
inccS and the work Of COB different pot
ters. 1t is said that tie collection is
not only rncr than any In the United
States or Europe, but Is rot surpassed
even IN Japan.
It's former owner aud present cura-
tor, Professor Edward s. Morse If Sd
lem, MISS, first visited Japan about
% years 10 occupy the chair of 20.
ology at the Imperial university. ut To-
kyo. 10 took up the study Of japanese
pottery MS m ayocation from his more
serious employment. hut for many
years The pursuit and Identification Of
rare and curious pieces Of ware from
remote corners in the old world and
Japan have occupied a large portion Of
his care and thought. In the course of
which he has visited the little known
potteries of out Of the way provinces
Of the Flowery Kingdom and the shops
of the great dealers of London or Paris,
from every source gathering material
for the collection or information for
the catalogue which is now issued.
Professor M0rse's aim has been three.
fold-to collect the makes Of all known
pottCrs, TO illustrate the various peri
DDS of japanese pottery and To form a
collection of the various articles made
In Japan by the pottcr's art. 1t is said
in connection with this last aim that
only the Greeks used pottery in their
daily life so extensively as the Japa-
ncse. The making Of pottery, more
over, as the fayorite and most charac-
t~eristlc Japanese art las for hundreds
of years been followed. In every corner
OF the empire by amateur and p-ofes-
sional alike, so that the confusion of
marks and wares has seemed almost
ineXtricable. Professor Morsc's work,
however, has done much TO ~untangle
some of the most difficult knots.
Every japanese potter uses n special
mark-sometimes more than one-to
distinguish his ware. The Morse col
lection not only contains practically all
the marks known TO European and
American collectors, but many hun
dreds which none of these possess.
Among It's special treasures are most
of the beautiful originals described in
the standard Japanese work on pot
terry by Ninegawa NDgitaHc. Other
objects Of equal rarity and elcgance
abound, but 10 attention has been paid
10 wares manufactured solely for ex-
port 10 America or Europe, In which
the art Of the potter has been purpose
Is desaccl, according 10 Japanese
standards, to please the taste OF west
era buyers. Nothing, that is, has been
chosen that does not Illustrate tie un-
sophisticated native feeling for the
original ideals of japanese art, unln-
tlueuced by outside Influences.

the city 10 enable the poor 10 live

and %. The scheme was cmiucntlr
successful and made the name of gin-
gree a household word among the poor
of that city and gave him a prestige
throughout the state that finally made
him governor. While claiming to bc a
Republican he was seldom in line with
his party. lie was spectacular. scnsa-
tional and demagogic and lost much of
his popularity in later years through
his socialistic tendencies. However. as
the good that men do lives after them.
there is no question but what he will
be lovingly remembered and honored
by hundreds of his beneficiaries. The
name of Potato Pingree will have n
unique place in the history Of the vol.
