The turbine of the Burmeister
mill was turned for the first time
by water from the new dam last
Thursday, and the machinery of
the mill was kept in motion all day
and has since been operated by
water power exclusively. The job
of tunnelling through the rock under
Bridge street, of constructing the
wooden conduit on the south side,
the steel pipe through the rock and
into the turbine pit, as we'll as plac-
ing the turbine in place, has been
an unusually long one, and was the
cause of the expenditure of big
sum of money on the part OF Mr..
Burmeister. The conclusion of the
work, and turning an expenditure
into an income, is pleasing to the
mill owner at this time. The water
used up to the present time is
hardly noticeable in lowering the
water in the dam, and Mr.. Bur-
meister certainly has an immense
storage reservoir in the concrete
structure built by him. ]

Suspicious of the Brandy.

Here is u good story of Admiral Rob-
ley ID. Evans, of the navy, which some of
his associates are telling: Soon after the
close of the Spanish war the people of
lava decided to present a sword to Cap
'air Evans as memento of his COM
mand of the battleship Iowa in the San
tiago fight. The presentation was made
at the home of Admiral Evans. in Wash
ington. Nearly all the prominent Iowa
people in Washington were there. The
affair was II social event and many Ia
dies graccd the occasion. Mrs. Evans as
sisted her husband in entertaining the
guests and presided over the cola ton
which was served in the dining room af-
ter the speeches We're concluded. Bob
did not make a very elaborate address,
but soon after the close of the formali
ties he said few words which were
highly appreciated by those who heard
them. Step into this room.' said the
naval hero, well have Il cigar and u

Captain Evans said: II ran out of my
favorite brand of whisky yesterday and
was compelled to stock up with some
that don't know much about But here
is some brandy that | do know some
thing about: it has been in this house
for moro than twenty years" Turning
to Representative Hull, he added: (which

responded Mr.. Hull.
"Why. what's the matter with the

MI 10 ZOLAS life was more
H dramatic in it's vicisstudes
and successes than any hero
of his creation From its
sor.id beginnings to its tragic close,
Zra's career has been a strange round
q force and weakness. of genius trun-
Gated by mediocrty. He was a great
writer who desecrated the highest
gifts of intellectual illumination to the
portrayal of the most despicable and
sensual traits which human nature is
conceiving. A literary savage, he de-
lneated the repellant perturbations of
his own mind and the squalid results
of his superficial Investigations naked
and unabashed in a series of volumes
which curded out of countenance the
of modern civilization. This was an
effort which demanded less of genius
than audacity for triumph. Zola
was gifted with the one and endowed
with the other. There are in Paris as
elsewhere such men and women as he
ties as he imagined; such moral de-
generates as he dragged from the
murky depths of their hdeous associa-
tions into the light Of day. His So
called realism was of the gutter, the
brothe and the more decorous pre-
serves of vice. But that is far from
all that may be held to his credit or
laid to his discredit. There are not
truer or more delicate creations in the
whole range of fiction than some of
Xola's conceptions. None of his novels
is destitute of one on more of them:
but as in real life the wlckedness of
the wicked Is proclaimed of all men.
so these virtuous silhouettes that al
most imperceptibly eclipse the Iubrlc-
ity of his pages are not easily recog-
niZed for what they are when one
comes across them in his museum of
horrors.
Iola was no literary charlatan. He
was master of fiction. Being a
Frenchman, he could not, perhaps, be
other than he was. The novelist
draws his inspiration from his sur
roundings, from his age, from the gem
eralitles and superfcialities of life as
ne sees it or conceives it, 1t would be
as preposter0us to imagine a French
man writing like Thackeray or a
Hawthorne, as 1t would be fatuous to
think of an Englishman or American
manifesting the peculiar gifts of Sue
or Zola. Paris on the whole is per-
haps no more wicked than New York
or London, but il is complacently ego
tistical i'm it's vice, Zola's novels in
variably appeared serially in one or
another of the Partisan newspapers
with the largest circulation. but In
these matters the French are infinitely
less susceptible OF self-consciousness

than people OF more phlegmatic tenn
